Consular Service and the Export
Trade.

(New York Journal Of Commerce)
1t is gratifying to find German mer-
chants memorializing their Government
for an improvement of its Consular SER
vice, particularizing the American SER
vice as possessing several features that
they desire to have copied. 1t is easy
to believe that the German Consuls are
too bureaucratic, and that American
Consuls are in much closer touch with
business interests than the German Con-
suls are. 1t is also complained that
German Consular reports are not pub
lished till they are too old to be of any
service, a complaint which we have
made here; but our Department of State
has not been so tardy in publishing Cen
sular reports as the German Govern.
ment appears to be, and we are glad to
add that our Consular reports are pub
lished more promptly than they used to
be. In fact, it Is not very often now
that we feel disposed to criticlse the de-
partment, and when there does seem to
be occasion for it, we believe it Is due
to the unwise economy of Congress. and
not to the negligence of the department.
But next year most of our Consuls will
be recalled, and will be replaced by men
unfamiliar with their duties, with the
countries in which they are to live. and
in many cases ignorant Of the language
of the business men with whom their re-
lations are to be. We would be willing
to accept little bureaucracy if we
could get rid of this rotation. 1t is not
to be forgotten that whatever may be
the delinquencies Of the German Con-
suls, the German merchants are reaching
after foreign trade by their own agen-
cies. and are extending their foreign
trade faster than any other country.
probably. The Consular service can be
useful to exporters, but It cannot make
an export trade. That must depend
upon the business methods Of business
men.

Didn't Know the Town Was There.
Harper's Round Table.)

There is smart little town in North
Dakota, and its inhabitants imagine
that they are smart. They have an ex-
cellent opinion of their city, as they
term it, and blow and buster more
over its welfare and growth than
Kansas cyclone. The main line of the
railroad runs through 1t, and once a
week train stops there. This indif-
ference on the part of the railroad peo-
pie is source of bitterness to the in
habitants, especially as the engineers
make 1t point to go through the place
at full speed. Finally they resolved to
put stop to 1t, so one day they built a
barricade on the tracks and forced the
first train to come to halt. Then they
arrested the engineer and took him be-
fore the Judge of the place. He was
charged with running through city
regardless of speed and to the danger
of the populace. What have you to
say in answer to this charge, sir?''
sternly asked the Judge. The engineer
smiled and looked around. He stepped
to the door and looked at the few strag-
Cling houses and allowed an expression
of establishment to settle on his face
Then he walked slowly up in front Of
the Judge and said: Upon my honor
Judge, this is the first time ever knew
there was such a place as town OF
this part of the line" The citizens af
ter that slowly removed the barricad'
and let the engineer proceed on hi
| way.

roRBmDNG PATHS IN AFRICA.
Travellers Suffer Greatly I'm Trying

National Review.)

The rocks which edge and strew the
path are covered. with exquisite ferns
and MOSES of every delicate shade Of
green, and here and there are touches
of absolute gold-colored moss, which
looks as If some ray of sunlight had
fingered too long playing on earth, and
had got shut off from heaven by the
mist, and was waiting until 1t could re-
join the sun. The path was now a
shallow, rushing torrent, with mud
thickened water, which cascaded round
the front Of our ankles and occasionally
round our knees, in the hollows and
round our heels as we went down hill.
Underneath the water there was about
an equal mixture Of mud and rock.

white sheet, or, more properly speaking,
considering its stuffy wooliness, white
blanket, stretched across the landscape
to the southwest. where the sea would
show.
On we went, up one hill and down an
other, sometimes passing through weed
grown native plantations, sometimes
through the stretches, Of high sugar cane
like grass, which hangs across the path
in lackadaisical way, swishing you in
the face, cutting you like knife when
you get 1t edgewlse, and pouring in
sidious rills Of water down your neck.

THE VALUE OF STRAW.

Farmers, as a rule, have always en-
tertained the idea that straw is an al,
most worthless product of the farm,
and that the proper thing to do with
the straw stack is to let the cattle eat
of it as they will and to eventually
pillow under what is left.
While this may seem correct it can
he easily proven by facts and figures
that the system is wasteful and wrong,
and the money thus wasted, If saved,
would buy enough fertilizer to keep
the farm in high condition and give the
farmer good profit besides.
Wheat and cat straw, when baled, is
worth nearly as much as the best hay
in the Northern and Eastern cities. In
Pittsburg and Wheeling thousands Of
tons of it are annually used for pack
ing glass ware. At times it cannot be
obtained, and the prairie hay from
Texas must be used.
Rye straw is in good demand in New
York at $40 per ton, when threshed
straight and carefully handled. The
present price of rye is about 80 cents a
bushel. An acre of land will produce
Is to 20 bushels Of rye and one ton of
straw. Ten acres Of rye yielding 20
bushels to the acre, If sold at 80 cents
per bushel, will amount to 500 and the
10 tons of straight threshed and bound
straw, if sold at 500 per ton, would
amount to 5000, making total Of $500
realized from the 10 acres of rye and
straw.
The manurial value of rye straw. in
the manure pile, according to expert
ments at the experiment stations, is
but So per ton, consequently If the 10
tons of straw were put in the manure
pile the value of it is only 500, while If
the 10 tons were sold it would bring
5000.
Take the manurial value of the 1O
tons of rye straw, which is $50, and
with the 500 buy commercial fertilizer
1t will enrich the farm to the same ex.
tent as If the whole 10 tons of straw
had been deposited In the manure pile
and yet leave in the farmers pocket a
net profit of $3.50. This, while enrich
ing the farmer, surely does not "rot
the farm"
To thresh rye by hand is slow and
expensive, and if the ordinary spiked
cylinder thresher is used the straw
will be broken, and its marketable
value destroyed. There is self-bind
ing rye thresher, which not onl.
threshes without injury to straw, blu
also cleans the straw from dust, ant
delivers it, thoroughly threshed and re
bound, ready for marketable purposes
Farmers should consider this mat
ter, and as it is an opportunity t
greatly increase the profits Of tn
farm, they cannot too soon discard old
fogy methods and wasteful plans.

HOT WEATHER HINTS.

Keep a little camphor at hand these
hot days. and If the head becomes un-
comfortably warm battle 1t with tea
spoonful in two ounces of water. This
drives back the blood and averts SUM-
stroke.
An alcoholic bath often cures cholera
infantum when nothing else will. Satu-
rate flannel cloth with alcohol and bind
it around the child's abdomen.
1t is said that napkin wet with ice
water and laid across the eyes will in
duce sleep even in the most aggravated
cases Of insomnia during these warm
nights.
If the flies prove troublesome about the
gilt frames and other gilt ornamentations
that are uncovered in this season, boil
four or five onions in pint of water and
apply it with soft brush.
|. If the hands are stained with berries, or
from cleaning the various summer vege-
tables, rub them thoroughly with ripe
that will set the stain.
Don't let the little ones suffer with tooth
ache during these warm nights, when It
is so difficult to sleep under the best con-
ditions. Teach them to chew cinnamon
bark when troublesome tooth threatens
to ache. This destroys the sensibility Of
the nerve, suspends the pain very quickly
and Is most pleasant to the taste, besides
having no injurious effect on the teeth.

MEN OF HIS PERIOD.
THREE CONTEMPORARIES OF GEORGE
 WASHINGTON.

"Lieht Horse Harry" Lee, John 1Langdon
 and the Jealous Young Nobleman, Lafay-
 ette-Their Valuable Help to the Amer
 ican Cause.
 General Henry Lee, the Virginia ranger Gather of Robert E. Lee), was figure in the Revolution whose'career is often confounded with others. of that name. There was another General Lee, an English soldier of fortune. who served the American cause for time only to betray it. Francis Lightfoot Lee was a member of the continental congress and signer Richard Henry Lee was dis tinguished Virginian and one of the first senators elected from that state. Richard Henry often receives the credit for the immortal line, First in peace, first in war and first in the hearts of his countrymen. " Light Horse Harry" used this language on two occasions be- fore congress, where he served at the time of Washington s death. The phrase appeared originally in resolution pre- pared by Lee, and it then read, First in war, first in peace and first i'll the hearts of his fellow citizens" After ward he was called upon by congress to deliver eulogy upon Washington and he again used the famous words, substi- /, tuting the term "countrymen" for "fel- low citizens.
 Light Horse Harry" began his mili- tary career at 90 years of age as captain of cavalry and served closed to the per- son of Washington. His corps was re- 7. nowned for it's splendid equipment and rigorous discipline. and its leader for his great ooolness and courage. On one occasion the British surrounded him in his quarters when he had but ten men at hand. The enemy numbered about 200, and Lee beat them off, killing and wounding several. This exploit won @ majors commission and the leadership of an independent partisan corps and with this command, known as Lees le- zion, he became power in the ranks of southern loyalists.
 In 1779 he surprised the garrison at Paulus Hook, Pa, and secured the place, with 160 prisoners, losing but five men in the attack. For this service congress awarded gold medal. In 178O Lee joined the forces in the south under General Greene. and on the retreat of Greene in the face of Lord Cornwallis Lees legion acted as rear guard. The British army was headed by the dra- goons of the notorious Tarleton, and ''Light Horse Harry's" troopers had many bout with them. and on one oc- casion IS of the dragons bit the dust before gallant charge of the legion. Throughout this southern campaign Lee proved match for Tarleton and at the battle of Guilford, N. O., repeatedly defeated him and kept up a separate fight on the flank of the loyalists. When Cornwallis retired to the north as re- suit of this battle. Lee induced Greene to move south and recover control of Georgia and the Carolinas. Lees legion united with the militia of Marion, the "Swamp Fox" and a victorious cam
