British in America.


How much property DO British sub
jects own in America? The aggregate,
based on absolute facts, is known to be
at least 20,OC0,O0O acres, asserts Tit
Bits
The largest Of all is probably the Tex
as possession of the syndicate which
includes in its membership the Dukes
of Beaufort and Rutland, Earl CadO-
gan and the Baroness B1rdett-CO
The total amount Of land held by
this association is $4,000 acres. 1t is,
as is the case with most of the Texas
land, largely composed Of what Is call
ed range eountry-that is, land that is
better adapted for cattle raising than
anything else.
Cattle and wheat are what the Brit
ish investor seems to think money
should be made on in the United
States. That is why the syndicate rep
resented by the British capitalist Vim
cent Seully owl 5000, 600 acres of land
in Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. This
property is situated in the heart of the
wheat growing section.

uated in Colorado, Wyoming and New

Of live stock.
There is another syndicate which in-
cludes among its members the Earl Of

Cholmondeley and several others.
There is a holding in a still different
part of the country, for the lands of the

enough swine to stock 900 farms.
Lord Tweeddale is a syndicate in

The Beautiful In Farm Life.

There IS some danger thst farmers
may become 50 intent on making their
lands pay a money return that they
viii lose sight Of much that is beauti-
ful in country life. Il is not all of life
to be able to say at the end of the year
that there is a good margin or the
right side of the farm account. This
is all right, Of course; we are on the
farm for business. We ought to do our
best to make il pay. But it will not do
TO make money the sole object of our
labor. This is especially true If we
have children. To bend every energy
from daylight to dark, from weeks eud
to weeks end and from one years be-
ginning to another, 10 the getting of
money, is demcralizing to the farmer,
to his wife, and dOubly so to his child
ren. Life's beginning is a most i'm
portaut era. II to the young it be
clouded by the gloom of home where
the only object in living is to get mon
ey, the shadow rarely ever lifts.
The whole life will be tinged with
the memory Of those early days on the
farm.
I believe that is one great reason
why so many leave the farm. Their
lives in the old home were ceaseless
grind, unrelieved by anything which
touched the tender side Of nature.
What, then, should we do to remedy
this? Suppose the house is old and you
are not able to build another. Beauti-
fy it Is much you can. Set out trees
around il, clear away the weeds, tumb-
led down fences and all unsightly OBJ
jects. Let grass grow fresh and green
about il. Plant flowers in pleasant
places. And so all over the farm. 1t
will cost only a little time to make it
beautiful. Inside make the house
hOmelike. a few books and papers;
music if you can afford it; at eventide
let there be an ingathering Of all the
children. Read aloud to them and
have them read also. Be one of them,
and have a share in all that interests
them. Study nature with them.
How many know the names and
habits Of the birds which flit about in
summer? Who Of US can tell the names
of the flowers which spring up every
where on the farm? This may seem to
some farmers all nonsense" From
such decision / most earnestly ap-
peal. The little lives intrusted to US
are the most precious of Gods gifts to
US. 1t lies in our power to dwarf them,
or to unfold and reach heights of sue
cess we ourselves may never attain.
We have no right TO entail upon our
children the heritage which many par
ents do when they teach them to hate
farm life. There is no place on earth
which is nearer to natures heart than
the farm. We ought to love it and
teach our children to love it, too. Farm
life pays IL it leaves him who follows
it one step higher than ne was at first.
No matter whether We die rich in
money or not, if at the last our friends
can say Of US that We loved nature aud
natures God, and pointed the way up
to them.-Farmer's Tribune.

A Lesson In History.

1t was 800 years ago, in Florence,
Italy, that the first grand opera was
produced.
Quinine is made from Peruvian bark
the outer part of medicinal plant,
called einchOna. 1t was so named from
the wife Of Count Cinchon, of Peru. in
the seventh century, who by its use
was cured of intermittent fever.
In 1875, the year Of the plague, so
great was ;he gloom in England that it
has become known as "the still Christ
mas" "The Christmas of the Great
Frost" took place ia 1879. The Thames
was frozen from bank to bank and bar
becues were held upon the ice.
So far as the present writer is aware
the earliest mention of ''liveries" made
in history is in the reign of King PepiD,
of France. This king fiourished about
the year 80 a. d., and because Of bis
diminutive size he bad bestowed upon
him the rather disrespeetful aPpellatiOn
of "Pepin the Short"
In France King James H., in his
flight from England arrived on that
day. On that day in 1879 Napoleon
was proclaimed first consul, and just
four years later he was crowned en-
peror. He entered Paris unattc nded
during the holidays of 1872, and his
nephew, Louis Napoleon, was crowned
emperor during the holidays of 1852.
1t was at Marengo, North Italy, that
the French army, commanded by Bona
parte, after crossing the Alps into Pied
mont, attacked the Austrians, June,
1900; his army was retreating, when
the arrival Of Gen. Dsssaix turned the
fortunes Of the day. The slaughter on
both sides was dreadful. By treaty
between the An. .rian Gener; I Melas and
Bonaparte, signed June Is, the latter
obtained II strong fortresses and be-
came master of Italy.

Total Solar Eclipse.

The people of America will have q
very unusual chance to see total solar
eclipse right here at home on May 2S,
1900. Astronomers are even now study.
ing the meteorological tables for past
years in order to find the localities
promising clearest skies says the Wash
ington Post.
the line of totality first touches
the continent on the Pacific
coast of Mexico, north of Cape Cori-
entes, pursuing northeast course, leav-
ing Mexico at the mouth of the Rio
Grande, crossing the gulf of Mexico
and entering the United States at Ateh-
afalaya bay, Louisiana. The breadth
of the line is about 50 miles. The eclipse
will be total at New Orleans at about
s:22 a. M, Washington time. The
eclipse will be visible in Macon, Raj
eigh, Norfolk and intermediate and
neighboring points.
Crossing the ocean, the land first
touched is near the port of Coimbra,
Spain, passing southeast across south
ern Europe and the Mediterranean sea
Thus all the astronomers in both hem
ispheres will be within easy distance
and with every facility for using any
amount of instrumental equipment
The greatest duration will be two min
utes nine seconds, about the middle o

WHAT WE OWE TO BUMBLE-
BEES.
The Part These Busy Workers Play in
the Fertilization of Flowers.


The work of the bumble-bee in bring
ing about the cross-fertilization OF
flowers is as important as that of the
honey 5ee, and these two stand at the
head Of the list of insects useful in this
respect. Each has its flowers which it
alone visits, but there are many fiow-
ers on neutral ground, visited by both.
So we rlsy say Of the humble bee, rs
of the honey-bee. the more humble
bees the more seeds; the more seeds the
more flowers-especially wild flowers,
as the tall bell-Aower, touch-me-not,
SOlomon's seal, gentian, Dutehman's S
breecbes, aud tur;le-head.
And probably the most important
work this insect does for agriculture is
upon the fields of red clover. There is
abundant proof that this plant viii
not produce seed without the co-opera-
tion Of the bumble-bee. It is impossi-
bic for the wind to bring about the fer
tiIization of the seed, as it may do in
the case of Indian corn, grain and
some forest trees. The tube Of r,d
eloTer blossoms, too, is so long that
other insects, including the honey-bee,
are not regular visitants.
Here is proof that this plant must
have visits from the bumble-bee. This
insect is not native Of Australia,
and red clover failed to produce seed
there until bumble-bees were imported.
AS soon as they became numerous, the
plant could be depended upon for seed.
Again, the blossoms of the first crop
of the medium red clover" of our own
country are just as perfect as those of
the second crop, but there are too few
bumble-bees in the field, so early in the
season, to produce fertilization; hel;ce
little or no seed in this crop. If bum
ble-bees were sufficiently numerous
there is no reason why much larger
yields Of clover seed might not be ex-
pecled than at present.
Here is what weii-informed farmer
says about il:
at was formerly thought that the
world rested on the shoulders of Atlas.
| can prove that its prosperity rests on
the bumble-bee. The world cannot
prosper without the farmers product.
The farm will not be productive with
out clover. We cannot raise clover
without seed, and We cannot have
clover seed without the bumble-bee,
because it is this insect that carries the
pollen from flower to flower, securing
its development and continuance. Let
US learn to know and to protect our
triauds limo II Nicholas

II man does you an i'll turn he will
never forgive you for it.
If a man releases piece of property
he takes fresh grip on it.
If people didn't have hobbies the
world would soon cease to revolve.
If man once uses porous plasters he
is apt to become much attached to
them.
If hope assumes the guise of an Eas-

If il is necessary to write to any one
