The foreign world is much excited
over a speech recently made by M.
Berthelot at the banquet of the Syn
dictate Chamber Of Commercial Prod
uct Manufacturers, in Paris In his
address the ell-knOwn chemist pre-
dicted that a century hence such
changes will be effected in man, and
the world which he inhablts, by the
utilization Of the heat of the sun and
the central heat Of the globe, that
the coming man will enjoy a virtual
millennium, Such sad things as too
little food or too much drink will be
unknown; man will live on waters
applied to the tongue once a day, and
he will be too happy to intoxicate
himself. There will be no need for
factories, smoky chimneys, the
slaughter Of animals or the growing
Of vegetables. The coming man will
have grand, and, above all, an easy
and economical life.

WHILE we boast ourselves to be an
agricultural country, we do not ex-

The importations last year were from
Canada, Germany, and Scotland, and
amounted to $2,O66, 500. The ex-
ports were to Cuba, Mexico and
other Central American countries,

seem that there is room for little
more attention to potato growing

Managing Mothers.

1t Is often said that romance is shocked
at the idea of mother finding husband
for her daughter, but delicacy is equally
shocked at a young girl hunting husband
entirely by herself. Mother and home
throw charm and a refinement around
such efforts, and no good young man will
refuse to acknowledge the wisdom and re.
spectability of the English custom that "a
wife is to be courted on her fathers hearth.
stone" 1t is very easy to resent this sup.
posed necessity Of guarding girlish inno-
cence, but it is a necessity in spite of all
protestations to the contrary. If, indeed,
the young are capable Of self direction,
then mothers are a mistake, and all that
Holy Writ and wise men have said is false
and antiquated, and behind the youth of
this generation.
Butsurely mother who has made all
the conditions of her daughters life for
eighteen years may at least advise her
child on the making of her marriage and
her home. For if she be a good mother
she will always consider that within due
limits marriageable daughter should be
intrusted with her own destiny She will
know that it is one of the secrets of wise
management to manage as little as possible
and never to interfere in things of small
moment. Mothers, then, ought to supple.

Ipdustrious Indians.

The efforts of the United States govern
ment to render the Indian tribes self sup
porting and industrious have been most
successful in cases where 1t has been pos
sible to take advantage Of and develop some
kind of industry already known among
them in at least rudimentary form.
With such tribe as the Navajos, for in
stance, the government has had no trouble
since the wars with the tribe ceased, be-
cause these Indians are natural horse and
sheep raisers. They have been able to sup
port themselves by dealing in horses and
sheep. An attempt to make them farmers
in the sense known in the eastern states
would probably have not only failed, but
would have demoralized the Indians and
made them dependent upon the govern
ment.
Other far western tribes of Indians have
suhsisted largely in the past by digging
roots which grew spontaneously over a
great extent Of country. It is hoped that
these Indians, now that they no longer
have free range over vast tract, may be
easily taught that they caA make living
by planting other kinds Of roots on more
limited area.
One Of the difficulties with which the
government has to contend in the process
of civilizing the great mass of the Indians
now classed as wild" is the fact that they
occupy country of dry plains, where very
little agriculture was practiced when the
Indians were in their primitive state, and
where it was comparatively easy and pleas
ant to derive living from the herds of
buffalo and other game that were to be
found ranging the plains.
Such people must almost be made over
again in order to be rendered agricultural.
But they have kindly feeling toward cat
tie which are sort Of natural successors
to the buffalo. They make excellent herd
srs and very good drivers of oxen.
Cattle raising, therefore, seems to be the
natural means of civilizing these Indians;
and they are being encouraged with gifts
of stock and instruction in the best means
Of taking care of it.-Youth's Companion.

other, "and that's enough for me-"
So thequestioner went home and got out
his concordance and painfully labored
through it to find Shakespeare's authority
for saying II done it," But he couldn't.
Then he came back to the first man. "Will
you show me where you got Shakespeare's
authority for the i done itr" he said.
