All readers of public events are
familiar with the appalling story of
destruction by fire that comes from
the Northwest. II is hard TO under
stand how towns can be swept away
and hundreds Of people overtaken and
burned to death by forest fires. Much
surprise has been expressed as to the
possibility of such occurrences, which
are reported almosl yearly from that
region. II must be remembered that
the woods are largely composed of
fir, pine, cedar, aud reslnous growth,
which takes fire instantly and burns
furiously When II Is remembered,
too, that the country is covered III
Autumn with dry grass, and the
ground carpeted with pine needles It
Is easy TO understand how the forest
fires can burn and spread with such
rapidity as TO make escape almost i'm
possible. The catastrophe of IIincklcy

most terrible ever reported from such
causes, over 800 persons, besides All

Invitations without number have Leen
extended to the people Of the North.
west especially 10 leave their bleak
aud hostile climate and seek a con.
genial home under our kinder skies
An opportunity Ia now offered which
Will be productive OF more good than
any amount Of writing in the columns
OF newspapers which never find their
way to the people whom they wish TO
reaea-an opportunity to advertise
our soil aud products more advantage
ously and practically than could be
dono by any State exposition or other
project of home contrivanee. This is
by q full representation at the corn
palace at Sioux City, Iowa, which will
be opened early in October. Sioux
City Is in the heart of the country
from which our most desirable settlers
would be drawn. Their methods Of
life and farming are pre-eminently
those which are esteemed necessary
for our prosperity and the develop
ment of our country. The corn palace
will be an exposition OF The agricultu-
raj resources Of the Northwest, aud il
is proposed 10 compete by an exhibit
of our own productions. The exposi-
tion will, II is claimed, be more largely
attended this fall than in any past
year, 1t being an annual institution
which brings together great crowds
Of agriculturists from the whole North
west.
| The value OF Southern representa-
tion at this exposition is evident to
the officers and managers of the Y. h
N.Y. R'y, and they propose to co-ope-
rate with planters and citizens in max
ing the Southern part of the exposi-
tlon success. The offer of the rail-
road is that planters and those iuter-
ested would notify the assistant land
commissioner of the road of what
: they will contribute in the way Of
samples Of field, garden aud orchard
productions, and to have such exhibit
tion samples ready not later than Sep
tember 24th, when they will be called
for. Contributions are solicited from
all along the line of the road, and an
exhibit of this character, even If im-
perfect, would be sure 10 attract the
! thoughtful attention Of people whose
Investigations are already turning
southward. "Thlngs seen are might
Ter than things heard" and an exhibit
of some of the magnificent specimens
Of vegetables, fruits and crop products
which are so commonly seen here
would have more influence In deter
mining the influx of settlers than any
amount of hearsay evidence and print-
cd advertisement of the resources oil
this country could do.
. II will give no trouble-po expense
All that is necessary is 10 write 10 the
! Assistant Land Commissioner, Y. IL
NJ. V. R'y., at Memphis, Tenn, notify
ing him Of what will be sent aud
where TO call for it. Let every plant
cr or small farmer who has fine speci-
mems of any farm product-fruit, veg
etsble, or field crop-send them to the
exposition, and so become an active
: agent in the great work of advertising
. and upbuilding the country work
in which every property owner IN II

Joan of Arc, The war like Maid of
Orleans, has received tardy but sg-
nal honor from the country which her
horoism saved from the yoke Of Eng
land. She has recently been made the
patron sent of the French Republic
by a formal enactment. Her elevation
to sainthood in the church occurred
only short time ago, and her birth
day has been set apart as national
holiday. The birthplace of Saint Joan
is in Lorraine, the province wrested
from France by Germany, aud nation
al sentiment is freshly aroused by tho
enthusiasm for the new saint TO seek
revenge on Germany aud the recovery
of the lost province. II would be pass
ing strange If France, the nation which
abolished" religion aud the Deity
should plunge into another war by
the promptings of religious seuti-
ment very similar to that which occas-
ioned the wild crusades of the middle
ages.

A Profitable Crop.
colman's Rural World.

Colmans Rural World.
One of the most profitable of the small
special farm crops is onions. They have
always been so. Doubtless the reason is
that skill is needed to grow good crop,
and it is as easy as falling off log to make
a mess Of the job and find the crop to be
smothered in weeds before the little onions
are to be seen. Then the time taken to
save the crop is lost as effectively as if try
ing to bring dead man to life again. The
crop is not worth the cost of saving. The
land must be cleaned by previous cultiva-
ton and well manured with old manure free
from seeds of weeds, or by fertilizers, which
is the better way. The seed must be good.
1t is no use trying homegrown seed.
This kind of seed produces more scallions
than anything else, for seed growing of
any kind is special business that must
have experience and scientific knowledge
to make it successful
But some farmers do succeed, and others
may, What one can do another can if he
will. The onion grower must determine
to succeed, and back up his determination
with an invincible will, and then he may
get 600 to 800 bushels of bulbs to the
acre. One acre is better to begin with
until one learns how to keep the weeds
down.

A PALE, wINTRY SUN.


The winter sun in the Faroes describes a
limited parabola on the southern horizon,
and the cock delays his morning call till
late in the forenoon, while the fish oil
tapers glimmer in the lowly houses as early
as three in the afternoon. So with eigh-
teen hours of darkness there is ample time
for family instruction aad for the domestic
industries, whereof mittens and stockings
to the number of about one hundred and
fifty thousand pairs are exported annually.
Intelligence is universal, owing chiefly
to the efficiency and universality Of family
instruction impaired during these long
winter nights. Marriage is not contracted
without a license, and license is conting=
ent on manifest ability to support wife.
