To Start Hens Laying.-Sometimes
food rich in nitrogen, carbon and
mineral matter will produce the
desired result. Half pound of lin
seed meal, given three times week to
20 hens and first mixed with ground
grain has been known to start all the
hens in flock to laying. a mess Of
cut bone and meat will make i won-
derful change if the hens have been
kept mostly on grain. Warmth is an
excellent assistant. 1t is better to scat
ter corn and wheat in litter than to
put it in q trough, as each hen will
then have to work for her share, and
the greedy hens cannot rob those that
are timid.

make it into sort Of preserve. The

Counting the Cost.

Senator Baker, Of Kansas, has been
doing a little figuring with reference to
the cost Of Democratic rule during the
past two years. His conclusion is that
''the loss Of $50, 900, 900 of gold a year to
go to Europe to pay the balance Of
trade against US; the issuing Of $780,
100000 Of s and 4 per cent. bonds to pay
the running expenses of the govern
ment over and above the usual receipts
Of $40. 0 1000 a year, and which will
cost the people about s4O0, 900, 900 before
they eliminate that debt from their
ovcrburdened shoulders; these, I say,
are but small matters compared to the
loss Of business by the country as
shown from the clearing house reports.
These were over 5000. ooo.o 900 in 1888.
and but little less in 1889. Business
dropped to 50. 500. 900, 1000 in 1892. and to
on1y y, 100000 900 in 1893. and but little
better in 1884 and 1895. or q net loss

900 in 1892 and to 1870. 900 this year. The
increase in the stay-at-home vote has
been scarcely less marked in other
states"
That there is a measure of broad
truth in these assertions will not be. de-
MED; but 1t must not be forgotten that
in the actions of the second Cleveland
administration, offensive as these have
almost uniformly been to the patriotic
sentiment of the country and destruc-
tive of the country's best interests, the
Democratic voters of the country re-
ceived a very strong incentive to stay
at home. That they will stay there
in 1896 and thus permit Mr.. Waite's law
Of ~periodicity to receive a new vindica-
ton is exceedingly probable. There Is
shrewdness in Senator Brice's remark
thai the burden Of political responsibility
ity is too heavy for any party to shout
der; but 1t Is especially true, one would
think, of the party to which Mr.. Brice
belongs.

Ar instructive Warning.

At q dinner recently given in his
| honor at the Philadelphia Union
| League Major-General Nelson A. Miles,
| commander Of the United States army,
| used these words: There isn't a
| modern gun in position to defend this
| great city of Philadelphia from an In
| vader. There isn't a soldier. The
| same statement can be made of every
one of the twenty-eight great cities of
| the country in which is accumulated
| the wealth Of the United States" Con-
tinuing he said that our condition was
like that of China. With her tremend-
Gus population and her vast armies
she felt perfectly secure when the
Chino-Japanese wal broke out. Yet
Japan, with her far smaller popula-
| ton, but q greater fleet, conquered the
| vaster nation in a little less than two
years. The lesson Of this experience,
he said, was that 1t was not necessary
to invade a country in order to conquer
it. The wealth Of the country was con-
centrated in the great cities, and, as Is

from a foreign invasion the conquest
of a vast extent Of territory could be
speedily accomplished.
It is the hope of every good citizen
that the danger to which General Miles
SO earnestly directs attention will not
be brought home to the American peo-
pie by the costly experience of a for
eign war. Such an experience Is q pos
sibility now happily remote. But the
same national prudence which has die
tated the upbuilding Of a modern navy,
with its powerful armor-clad warships
and its terrible torpedo boats. calls
loudly for the completion Of the scheme
Of potential defense by the safeguard
structiOn of New York or Philadelphia
would be too large a price to pay for
remissness or negligence in this re-
spect. The time to take the p%recaution
is before the danger arrives. This ques-
ton will undoubtedly come before con-
gress, and it should be met in a spirit
of wisdom which overlooks first cost in
view of the larger item of ultimate gain.

The Law Of Periodicity.

1t was Senator Brice, If we remember
correctly, who recently remarked that
he was not discouraged by this falls
election; for while the Republicans
would win in 1896 the responsibilities Of
n uppermost party and the natural
discomfort Of the people have grown
30 great with the republics later de-
velopmcnt that no party could long re-
main In power. A similar view has
also been expressed by Frederick C..
Waite, a Washington statistician. in "a
paper read by him a few days ago be-
fore the National Statistical associa-
ton Mr.. Waite. being @ Democrat,
claims that Tilden was elected in 1876,
which enables him to assert that dur
Ing the twenty years which ended with
tho breaking up Of the Wing party the

also done IL the twenty years beginning
with 1876. In other words, according to
Mr.. Waite. the years 1885 and 1876
brought victories. to the Democracy and
the years 1910 and 1880 defeats; "a and
"a victories ana '4s and 'ss defeats; '52
and 'g2 victories and here the parallel
ends.
Mr.. Waite processes to see In the rapid
~nuctuation Of the past few years sim
ply tho expression Of a natural law of
unrest; an ebb ana How Of partisan en-
thusiRsm and feeling which roughly
maintains the same rhythm from de-
cade to decade. It Is because we are in
the trough Of the ebb tide, according to
this ingenious ~reasoner, that the
Democracy has been 80 badly worsted.
The Republican party's pluralities, he
contends, are apparent rather than
real; they look larger because the op-
position vote is small, but the really
large factor in the problem, he thinks,
Is the stay-at-home vote. For instance,
he calls u attention to the fact that
"in Pennsylvania the vote. Of the
Democrats has fallen to 2S2, 481 from
446,63 3 in 1888, that of the Republicans
to 1857 4 from 52e, OS1 in 1883. while the
vote Of the stay-at-home party has in
creased to $4,000 from only 10000 in
