The Germans during recent years are
said to have made very remarkable
progress in the manufacture of nee
dies. Last year the Germans exported
$500, 900 pounds of these small but in
dispensable articles, as compared with
1880, 900 pounds in 1895. AS showing
the rate at which the export side of the
German business has grown, it is stat
ed that in the eight years, 1SS0-S7, the
shipments were 11,615, 900 pounds, and
in the following eight years, ending
with 1895, 15,425 900 pounds. The fact
cries of Aix-la-Chapelle alone produce
0 ,000, 900 needles a week. and they are
said to be for the most part of supe-
rior quality. The best outlet for these
goods is China, which in 1896 took &C
per cent of the whole export, as com
pared with no more than 20 per cent
in 1894. Other markets of considera-
BILE Importance are British India
France, Great Britain, the United
States, Austria-Hungary Italy and
Turkey.

TIMELY FACTS ABOUT GREECE,

1t has a population of 2,187, 208.
1t is called "Hellas" by it's people.
1t has an area of 24,977 square miles.
The mean temperature of Greece is
ga degrees Fahrenheit.
About one-half of the population are
agriculturists and shepherds.
No part Of Greece is forty miles from
the sea or ten from the hills.
The Greek flag is a white cross on a
blue ground-the Bavarian colors and
the Greek cross.
1t has few rivers and many hills.
None of the former is navigable and
many of the latter are fortified.
Ii is the only country in the world
whose armies are provided with the
Gras guns and paper-covered cart
ridges.
Only about 10000 of the inhabitants
speak any language other than Greek,
and only about 10000 profess any re-
ligion other than the orthodox.
Its present boundary limits were de-
termined by an arrangement among
France, Great Britain, Russia and Tur-
key, concluded at Constantinople on
July 81, 1882.
The chief characteristics of the aver
age Greek are his inquisitiveness, fond
ness for excitement, love of discussion,
desire for knowledge, an aptitude for
learning and aggressive patriotism.
The climate has two striking pecu-
liarities-the heat in summer and the
cold in winter are far more intense
than those of any other country in the
world lying in the same latitude. Cell

through the Morea in March he found

By the last census it appears that
the population of France is now 49,
22S. $685., an increase in five years of
only 1889, and this mainly through
immigration. For several years past
the death rate has exceeded the birth
rate. These facts become still more
significant when a comparison is made
between France and her neighbors. In
Germany the increase Of population
during the last five years has been
2.s51,431, nearly 1900, 900. as against
134 900 in France. The contrast is still
more striking when these figures are
compared with those of the past. Al
the beginning of the century France
outnumbered Prussia three to one. To
day Prussia contains almost an equal
population, and as for the whole OF
Germany, there are five Germans tC
every four Frenchmen.

Reports in regard to winter wheat
are discouraging. The continuous rains,
followed by high water in the streams,
have flooded the low lands in many
portions of southern Illinois, so that
what wheat was not winter killed has
been utterly ruined by water. Reports
from nearly half of the counties in the
state, including almost all of the win
ter-wheat growing counties, are that
two-thirds of the wheat seeded last fall
i ,749,000 acres was winter killed OF
destroyed by floods, and the condition
Of the remaining third-589, 900 acres
is so poor that under the most favora
BILE conditions only one-third of an av-
erage crop may be expected. The out.
look is that little more than enough
wheat for seed will be harvested in
Illinois this season, and the people will
have to depend on other states TO,
wheat for consumption, a condition
that has occurred but once in the agri.
cultural history of the state.

THOMAS HUGHES SURPRISE.
At Seeing Northern and Southern Mei
Reunited.

Reunited.
About fifteen years ago visited
Lookout mountain with a party OF gen.
tlemen and stood with them on the pin
nacle overlooking the beautiful valley
of East Tennessee and range after
range of mountains visible from our
point of vantage, from the Great Smo-
kies of North Carolina to the Cumber-
land of Kentucky, says the Century.
The battlefield of Missionary Ridge
formed the immediate foreground of
this vast panorama. In OUR party were
men who had served with distinction
as officers In the opposing armies in
that battle, and naturally the incidents
of the conflict formed an interesting
subject of conversation between them,
with much good-humored badinage and
friendly interchange of views. Mr..
Thomas Hughes, the author of TON
Brown who had listened with an ex-
preston of surprised interest to the
conversation between these friendly
foes, turning to me, said: why, this
~ extraUrdinary-most extraordinary"
''What?" / asked. why that these
men, standing in full view of the field
where, only a few years ago, they were
trying to Stay each other, should be
discussing the incidents of that battle
calmly. kindly might almost say in
a brotherly spirit-with no trace of
bitterness or ill-feeling. Now, / doubt
if we in England could discuss the wars
of the roses or the Cromwellian wars
with such an entire freedom from an
tagonism." Could Mr.. Hughes have
witnessed, a few years later, the funer-
al cortege of the great general who
had hurled the successful columns
against the southern lines along the
crest of Missionary Ridge, and who had
brought final defeat to the Southern
arms IN Virginia, his astonishment
would have been greater and his pride
III the kin beyond sea- would have
increased on seeing that there were

He Gives Some Very Valuable Hints on
How to Make a Fortune.
One of England's money kings, a man
who has made an immense fortune out
OF the manufacture of a beef extract,

world the way to become a millionaire,
says the New York Times. There's
nothing very wonderful about it," he
begins; and then makes the c%uriously
familiar remark that "it's not a mat
ter of luck, but of extremely hard
work." This dear old p%latitude having
thus Leen trotted Out once more, the
millionaire relapses into autobiography
and says things which, If not particu-
larly instructive. do throw interesting

is the type. For instance: MY in

have been societies and associations
and enthusiasts who work early and
late, ceaselessly, tirelessly, and with
the utmost singleness of purpose in
crusading against vice.
While these people deserve the high
est praise, while their conduct and aims
are commendable in every sense, it
cannot but occur to the practical man
why they do not, to use an old and
homely phrase. lock the barn before

correct ideas of life, teaching them the
evils of drink, bad company and dissi-
patton of all sorts, would be, in the
long run, much more effective than try
ing to reform those who have been,
possibly for many years, given over to
vices of all descriptions. There is al
together too little attention given to
the training of, children in morals. To
bring them-uP honest, upright, clean,
industrious and painstaking is to create
a state of society that will leave phil
anthropy very little to do. This class
of persons would go out of business
if child culture were properly attended
to. To be sure, there are people who
appear to be inherently vicious. but, on
the other hand, it is claimed that this
need not be If the training were cor
rect. There is a very wide margin be-
tween inherited tendency and day-by-
day influence. There are many per-
sons who do not believe in heredity
and very excellent reasons they give
for it. With others it is almost like

The need of the world to-day is a
