The American Hog.

The apotheosis of the American hog
may be found in the report, just pub
lshed, of the Kansas board of agricul-
ture. The hog is there declared TO be
"debt-payer," a mortgage litter" and
the "buttress of prosperity" Moreover,
"high-class swine are unknown and
impossible among low-class people.
Kansas swine, coinage of Kansas grain
and BRAIN, met at Chicago in 1898 the
world-b heaters and beat them" "Where
corn and grass most abound there the
hog is most profitably evolved and
wakes latest. In Kansas he finds his
favored home-his Ell Dorado. Here he
ettains the qualities which make his

American Girls Abroad.

American girls who are thinking of
going to Paris to study. and who intend
to dispense with the presence of a
chaperon, cannot do better than keep
ON thinking about it yet little longer
before they take the plunge. advises
Harpcr's Bazaar. A sensible article on
the life of American girl students in
Paris appeared recently in the New
York Sun. 1t did not tell the whole
truth, perhaps, because the whole truth
would be better untold. But it did tell
part of the truth, for it said that many
of the girls waste their time, injure
their health, grow lax in their moral
view, get into slatternly habits, and
come back untitled for home and so
ciety, and not fitted for anything else"
There is much that is delightful and
fascinating about the life, and if one
could be absolutely sure of a girls phys
ical and moral strength as well as the
soundness of her common-sense, then
every woman who lived in and loved
Paris would say: go on, my dear;
you'll have some of the happiest days
of your life over there" AS it is, how
ever, it will be hard to find thoughtful
woman, who knows thoroughly the life
of the American-girl colony in Paris,
who would say that she will willingly
send her own daughter to face the same
trials and temptations. Rapturous let
tiers from that colony come home by
every steamer. And most of them are
sincere. But the American girl has
an enormous adaptabhity, and she is
quite capable Of changing her mental
and moral point of view without even
realizing that she has done so. En-
vironment is force as powerful as it
is subtle, and the girl who contemplates
an encounter with the atmosphere of
the Latin quarter will do well to pro-
vide herself with every bit of available
armor.

An English exchange says that for
half a century Spain has ruled Cuba in
defiance of the will of the people and
in spite of the constant protests of the
United States. The misgovernment has
been very expensive, and the cost of
the military operations has been met
by loans specially charged on the Gu
ban revenues. The object of the Span
ish government in creating separate
Cuban debt was twofold: First, to
punish the Cuban people; and, second,
to arrange for cheap retreat in the
event of Its being driven out of Amer
lea. The debt was, in fact, charged on
Cuba largely with the object of sad
ding 1t upon the United States. The
bondholders were encouraged to look
to the supposed doctrine of interna-
tional law as part of their security,
while they knew well enough that they
were lending money to the Spanish
government against the will both of
the Cubans and the Americans.

Street sweepings to the estimated
amount of 100000 tons are collected
every year in the cities of the United
States. Most of this material is either
used for filling" or thrown away; but
the department of agriculture learns
that in some places farmers secure the
sweepings for fertilizing purposes, and
that the farmers in such cases, with
few exceptions, report excellent re.
suits. Since the disposition of such
refuse is sometimes serious problem,
the fact seems to be worth consider
alton on the part of town and country
alike. One of our worst faults, as a
people, is a persistent disregard of the
truth that to prevent waste in all such
ways is to increase wealth.

Americans who visit the military de.
partment Of Santiago are impressed
first of all and most strongly by the
rare fertility and varied productions
of the soil, and later by the absolute
carelessness and idleness of the inhab-
itants, who have been so richly dow
cred by nature. The Cuban will not
work, it is said, and an immense area
of this garden spot of earth is wasted
in consequence. Not only new sys-
tenn of government but also new la
boring population may be necessary in
order to realize fully the hope and
promise of regenerated Cuba.
