There is more or less discussion
among republicans in congress on
the views of Mr.. Gage, the secretary
OF the treasurY-select, based largely
upon letter he wrote to the chair
man of the house committee on
banking and currency in 1894, and a
newspaper interview purporting to
quote Mr.. Gage. In view of this dis
cussion the opinion expressed of Mr..
Gage by several republican members
of the present house committee on
banking and currency is both timely
and interesting. Representative Nc
Cleary said: Regarding the increase
of bank circulation and the reduc-
ton of the tax thereon l presume

Nations, like individuals, must be
judged by their records rather than
their assertions. England has a
long diplomatic record, and it is
practically all one way, that of turn
ing everything possible to her own
advantage. When one studies that
record and bringsa little everyday
common sense to bear upon that ar,
bitration treaty he is very apt to ar
rive at the conclusion that the amend
ments reported to the senate by the
committee on foreign relations are
wise and necessary precautions to
prevent England taking future adj
vantage of the United States by.
claiming the right to submit matters
to arbitration which should not be so
submitted. And no one who will
take the trouble to ascertain the
obligations of King Oscar, of Sweden
to England ought to doubt the wis
dom of striking out that clause of
the treaty which made King Oscar
the umpire. No matter how honest
a man may be he cannot help being
biased in favor of those to whom he
is obligated. In addition to these
in favor of the amend
ments to the treaty, the criticism of
them by the English press indicates
very plainly that the original treaty
was considered more favorable to
England than to the United States.

Now that the electric light system
is settled reality let the next step
be a system of waterworks, which is
something that is needed even more

The development of this r.echanism

the first crude thrashcrs, introduced III
the early forties, run by treadmill with
the power furnished by one or tive
horses. Then came the cleaning attach
ment and an increase of size until four
or five horses We're used. Straw increaS-
ed in value, and to save it and facili-
tate the handling of it the straw car

and delivered it at any point ON the

especially when rainy weather kept
them idle for several days at time.
Steam enignes were therefore intro

horses were still required to drag the

One of the prettiest examples OF adapt
alton between native character and stu.
alton in the plant-world is that shown by
the insectivorous plants such as the sun
dew. All such plants are t1eshy and live
in DOGGY places. Now, wet, boggy soils
lack nitrogen, sulphur and other Deedful
constituents of good soils, which have
been dissolved out OF them, and must be
supplied by suitable artificial manures or
fertilizers when an agriculturist attempts
to make use OF them. Nature, SO to
speak, perceives this, and supplies the
very element to the nutrition of his class
of plants by feeding them with insects
whose bodies contain the missing sub
stances; and thus nature utilities by an
