For the first time in many years the
National Department of Agriculture is
sending promptly to the secretaries of
all agricultural organs" the bulletins
and other publications issued which are
likely to be of definite value to practi-
cal growers. Where there is organiza-
ton, then, among the farmers, they
will not be overlooked in this respect.

The fact that the forces ofdemocrats,
populists, and silver are to be combined
in the approaching congressional cam

the nomination and election of mem-
bers of congress.

II anybody had any doubt about the
views of the republican party upon the
proposition to pay the obligations of
the nation in anything but the best
money the world affords, President Me
Kinley and the house of representa-
tives have put that doubt at rest. But
why discuss such question? The
record of the republican party for 10y
atty and good faith makes it unneces-
sary.

THE apparent determination of Mr..
Bryan to make III to and l6 to | the
only issue so long as he remains before
the country in the position of chiet
spokesman and representative of the

country to the belief that some broader

clusively to single hobby, is likely to
be more successful candidate for the

THE January customs receipts under
the Dingley law were more than % per
cent. i'm excess of the customs receipts
in January of last year under the Will
son law. Mr. Dingley and his associ-
ates have good reason to be satisfied
with the new revenue measure which
they placed upon the statute book six
months ago. 1t has since that time
produced far more revenue than did
the Wilson law in the first six months
of its operations, and there is every
reason tO believe that it will supply
from this time forward sufficient re-
ceipts to meet the running expenses of
the government.

cross the line except by the footbridge."
After the cutting comes the beautifully
constructed cantilever bridge, which is
twelve feet five inches long, including the
approaches. For this bridge Mr. Warne-
ford took for his model the famous Forth
bridge.
The center of the line Is now reached and
here is situated the tunnel over which is
a great mass of earth and bricks. Just
before entering the tunnel there is a print
ed notice TO the driver TO reduce speed"
and here, too, is located the cabin of the
fog-signal man. This is a marvellous lit
tie piece of mechanism.
Out of the side of the little cabin pro-
jects short steel arm, which is struck
by the engine in passing. At the same
lime an iron hammer is acted upon, and
this, in falling eXplodes cap and a small
charge Of powder AS the train passes
through the tunnel it Is interesting to
hear the muffled noise usually associated
with a train in a tunnel.
On the other side Of the tunnel is Crewe
station, and here also is another notice
to whistle" A little further on the
track Is carried over q ravine on a per-
fecuy constructed American trestle bridge
five feet six inches long. The next bridge
is what is known as a "skew arch" This
bridge is two feet six inches long There
is also anothed bridge-a double suspen-
sion copied from one over the Thames on
the Great Western Railway just outside
Windsor; and near this bridge is the as
ual notice TO the public, beware of The
trains" The Chicago terminus is as per-
feet as all the other parts Of this remark
able line. and here we notice that there
is a space to let for advertisements"
When one considers the amount of detail
there is on this miniature railroad, and
that the whole system was erected by
Mr.. Warneford, it is not surprising 10
learn that it took two years to erect,
working in his spare time. The signals
for example, are moi only correct in every
respect, and worked by levers and wires.
but they are properly guyed down and
have tarred bases so as to prevent the
rOtting of the wood.

was found A second who took the head
ache cure, begged somebody to put a par
tition in his skull, as his present brain
was bursting; while a third, who had abb
sorbed the salts, wandered around, cast
ing only a faint shadow on his native
land
That night II rained, and the next morn
ing the remains of the comfort bag were
distributed as souvenirs The scissors
were cute, and highly appreciated by the
Porto Rican girls. The thmble, too, was
priced by them as were the needles and
pins, nicely arranged in cushions. But in
the patent pants-just plain pants-bu-
ton, the soldiers found the real utility Of
the housewife they had lugged along. As
in America the girls here have a fancy
for buttons, and in the quick-action patent
pants button there was novelty. Many a
proud Porto Rican beauty parades to-day
with one of them eternally fixed in the
lapel of her white vest, or tucked forever
to some part of her corsage by a soldiers
only too glad to get rid of it.
All this separation of contents and bag
only left the outer shell, a thing of no use,
but retained for sweet memory's sake.
And the next day it rained and the ford
was high. In the country with no bridges
soldiers must swim. When they emerged
on the other side, drenched and gasping
for breath, somehow they had all their
military belongings, but the leather wrap
per for the American housewife, where
was it?
Porto Rican children, most of them in
the interior nude from birth to seven
years, boast of an odd fig leaf in the form
of a dangling thing of leather. They use
1t as a sort of compromise on dress be-
tween seven years and eight, when they
should be, but are not, clothed. The
rest of the leather cases not put to such
sanitary use make good purses for the
natives
The Spaniards, too, had their troubles
and comfort bags. They were not so
pretty or useful as the American instttu-
ton, and didn't last so long. Not being
calculated to add to speed or accelerate
hasty flight, they were cast away in bulk
while the Spaniards we've under full head
