Texas.

In the agricultural line, Texas leads
all other states in the variety of its
products. Cotton, corn, and the cereals
grow and are raised in every section of
the state and in the central and south
ern portions sugar cane and sorghum
cane are protitably cultivated. On the
Gulf Coast two or three crops of veg
etables are raised each year. Berries
are shipped six weeks in advance of
the home crop in the north. Pears,
peaches, plums, oranges. figs olives,
and nuts all grow abundantly and can
be marketed from two to three weeks
in advance of the California crops.
Large quantities of rice are now grown.

Andrew Jackson was an extreme
man. He hated his enemies, and he
hated the enemies of his country. He
loved his friends, and he loved all OF
his old soldiers. He would defend
them, even when they were wrong
That is to say, he would protect them
and make all charitable allowances for
them. 1t was tho intensity Of his radical
nature which led him to cay that a
gallant soldier on the battlefield earned
the right to get drunk. Very few would
agree with him in this day and age.
when the temperance sentiment IS
overspreading the land.
In those days pensions were not lib
orally bestowed, and the old soldiers.
in times OF peace. were Kept on the
pay roll and cared for as though ON
actual duty. Nowadays things are dif-
ferent. Disabled soldiers receive pen
sions. and old soldiers who are unable
to care for themselves are given food,
shelter and raiment in the soldiers
home. The deserving officers OF the
regular army are placed on the retired
list, and have ample incomes from the
government to support them.

In his old age, Bismarck has come to
q realizing sense of the horrors OF war.
He thinks that war may be begun only
when the honor of a country absolutely
requires it. Onward quotes the prince
as saying:
If the ministers of foreign Affairs
had always accompanied their sover-
eigns. or the COMMUNICATIVE chief, dur
ing the campaign. history would GER
tainly contain fewer records of war.
On the battlefield, and, which is worse,
in the field hospitals, l have seen the
flower of our youth succumb to their
wounds and TO disease. Even now ] see

The Butter ana Calico Ratio.

Cost determines price. When the
two metals were at n parity before at
1875 to l. Germany and Austria were
on IA silver basis. and the mints of In
dia were open and the Latin Union and
the United States were bimetallic. by
and by the silver began to be mined at
less cost, better processes, struck rich
er veins of ore and the price OF silver
fell.
We cannot keep butter in the rcla-
ton to calico which it bore fifty years
ago. We remember when butter was
at s to ! as compared to calico: but to-
day calico is at to as compared to
butter The changed ratio of butler
to calico is due to the fact that the la
Dor of man now has more to do with
producing "a pound of butter than with
producing a yard of calico Steam and
water power now weave cloth, but
they can't weave cows. 49, Lewiston

rades were HIT" says Mr.. Lee Goss, q
former private in the Army of the Po-
tomac. No one quite knows how he
will behave. No mani am quoting
Wilkeson's stirring really
enjoys battle. One has to string up
his nerves and take firm grip On him
self morally. and hold himself in the
battletlames for few moments until
warmed to passion. The impulse is TO
run out Of danger
If the raw soldier Is there and then
led forward against the enemy, the trial
to his nerves will be less severe than
if he has to wait under heavy shell
and shrapnel fire to which he can make
no reply. In the one case he will only
have his danger to think about. This
was, perhaps, the reason why, in the
war of 1901, the German soldiers
rushed impatiently against the French
| positions. THE beat of the drum went
before the thunder of our guns, and cur
powe' was shattered by the fire of the
| foes mistaken infantry" He was
anxious to end the period OF tension
and to come to hand-grips with his
enemy. But he paid. and paid very
dearly, for his impatience.- Fortnight

A simple and excellent plan to
strengthen and preserve the eyes is To
to follow this rule: Every morning
pour some cold water into bowl, at
the bottom of the bowl place silver
coin or some other bright object, and
then put your face in the water with
the eyes open and move your head
gently from side to side. This will
make the eyes brighter and stronger.

says: The government acted on the
theory that all it had to do to raise
money was to print it. They did not
seem to realize that, being the largest
purchaser in the market, it was nee
essary for the government to keep
down prices as much MS possible; that
every issue OF bills must inevitably
raise prices and render n new issue

must be followed by u new issue, until
