Professor Mommsen's complacent
prophecy that the British empire will
soon disintegrate, and that in the
process France will get Egypt, Russia
will take India, and Germany will ap-
propriate South Africa, is redolent of
the perfume of the cloister. He
seems to forget that across the north
ern frontier of India nature has
stretched almost impregnable fortifi-
cations in the steep mountain range
that guards the border; that Egypt
will be quite as difficult to take and
keep today as when Napoleon tried
the experiment, and that Germany in
South Africa is helpless against Brit
ish sea power.

st. Petersburg dispatches indicate
that Russia may again require Ameri-
can wheat and corn to exc out her
needs. In many provinces, contrary
to expectations, the crops have proved
total failure, and famine is impend-
ing. This will tend to arrest decline
of prices for wheat and other cereals
consequent upon the heavy crops in
the United States, for the Russian
government is already taking steps to
purchase large quantities of these sta
Piles abroad. American farmers
should not forget that it is chance and
not their own foresight in this in
stance that will have enabled them to
realize fair prices for their products.

A pathetic commentary on the es

A pathetic commentary on the es-
TEEN in which the world holds
the memory of Prince Bismarck
is to be seen in the fact that
hardly q word in the vast food of mes
sages of coincidence that flowed upon
Friedrichsruhe spoke of human pity
or human love for the dead, observes
the Christian Register. 1t seemed
that even Germany had ceased to re-
member that Otto Won Bismarck was
at any time man, but regarded him
rs fallen political colossus whose i'm
passive brow had reached far above
the lightning and the clouds; a sort of
modern Zeus, at whose imperious nod
united Germany had arisen out of
chaos; divinity whom human maligni-
ty might and did reach, but who was
beyond the love of man. Germany laid
her legendary hero into the grave
with vaunting upon her lips, but the
scalding tears that were shed by the
world when Gladstone was committed
to earth were wanting at the cold and
formal obsequies of Prince Bismarck.

To Clean Ostrich Plumes.

The following method of cleaning
white ostrich feathers is given by a
Philadelphia reader:
Cut some pure white soap in small
bits and pour boiling water on them
and add little mite of soda. When
the soap is dissolved and the water
cool enough, dip the feathers in and
draw them through the hand Do
this several times, until the lather is
dirty; then make clean lather and
repeat the operation. Afterward
rinse the feathers in cold water,
slightly blued. Put the feathers be-
tween the hands and shake them over
the fire until they are perfectly dry.
Curl them by drawing each fibre be,
tween the thumb and the dull edge OF
of silver knife. With little care
and patience the result will be all
that can be desired. New York Trip.

Turkish POrtieres.

A pretty portiere, if one does not
mind taking a good deal of trouble, is
made from the small embroidered
Turkish squares sold for finger doilies.
Select those in light colorings. The
squares are put together with strips
of pale yellow material, the fabric
used being according to ones taste
and purse. A lightweight satine does
admirably, or China silk of cheap
quality is still better. The whole
thing should be lined with thin yell
low material, preferably the silk.
When hung in a room done in light
colorings, particularly white and
gold room, it is wonderfully eff
fective. The same idea can be carried
out in size to cover q sofa pillow
and can be made extremely beautiful
by having the squares put together
with pale yellow Or green velvet.

The prune industry in California
has had remarkable growth in the
last decade. In 1883 there were about
IL, 600 acres of bearing prune trees,
and about 6000 acres more of young
orchards. Between 1890 and 1894
about 40, 600 acres of prune orchards
were planted. Since then the growth
has proceeded in lesser degree, but
the total bearing area is now estimat-
ed at 55, 900 acres, with 10000 more
to come into bearing within the next
year or two. The investment in
lands, trees, irrigation systems, agri-
cultural tools, and packing houses is
estimated at t$25, 600, 900. This years
production of green fruit will amc4nt
10 about 81, 900 tons, and growers an
licipate crop of 10O,0 900 tons within
4 few years. OF this years yield,
about one-ffth will be shipped east as
green fruit; the remainder will be
dried, making, with the water evapo-
iated. about "a, 900 tons.

A writer in the Scientific American
beems to have taken careful note of
Ihe lifeboats on ocean steamers. He
rays: "Any one who has travelled to
and fro few times can but notice the
paucity of lifeboats and the fact that
ihe davit room is not all utilized. The
examination of fifteen photographs,
representing as many liners, showed an
average of seven boats on each side;
one ship only showing IN interrupted
fine OF ten large boats on each side.
What does this average of fourteen
boats to the ship represent? The fact
that only those on the lee side can be
used in rough weather reduces the
total to seven; two must be consid-
cred as sacrificed, smashed or cap
sized during launching. Five are left,
with capacity of about 140 persons
less than the ships crew. Life

they fill and sink with such rapidity :?

The only significance in the small
increase in railway mileage in the
United States last year is that pretty
nearly every available section of the
country is now fully accessible by
railroad. The railway mileage will of
course continue to increase in the flu
ture, but not at such a rate as in the
past. With improvements that have
been made in engine power and car
rying capacity of cars, moreover, the
present lines are able to accommo-
date mora traffic. This means that
fewer railroad lines are likely to go
into the hands of receivers hereafter
and at the same time that demands of
traffic will be met.

Here are some of the conclusions
that English experts have arrived at
concerning the naval features of the
war: Fast battleships are everything;
have big batteries aboard; teach the
men to shoot we'll; as for personnel,
the Anglo-Saxon can beat anything
that floats. These specifications
cover the ground pretty well, though
it might be we'll to mention the i'm
portance of personal heroism, says the

An interesting example OF how ma
ture accommodates herself to circum-
stances, is related by resident of
the arid section in the western part of
Texas. 1t was in connection with an
experiment in coaxing plum trees tc
grow. In portion of this arid re.
gion near Alpine, a stream of water
runs from thirty to forty feet below
the surface, too far for the roots of
trees to reach it, and the country,
therefore, was treeless. But an emf
grant from Ohio thought out way to
force tree to bore for water. He
selected hardy plum, cut off the
small roots, leaving only the tap
root, and planted it deep. He fed the
root with water daily, through hole
in the ground, and by cutting off the
sprouts as they appeared, he concen-
trated the growth of the tree on the
tap-root. He proved his theory. In
time that tap-root reached the under
ground water supply, and no further
care of the tree was necessary. Other
trees were treated in like manner, and
the result is thrifty orchard in q re-
gion where rain seldom falls. An
other unique development is that
trees grown from the seed of the Ohio
mans stock need no education. They
bore for water as soon as they are set
out, and there is little or no growth
above ground until the wtsr i
reached.

remembered that on the night of the county

at Seymour, because of his attitude on
the county seat Question. Although a citi-
zen of Seymour, Mr.. Dawson was opposed
to the removal of the county seat, and
made a number of strong speeches in vari-
Gus parts of the county against it, which
caused the above outrage from his fellow
citizens. The failure of the night police to
attempt to dispense the mob was the cause
of the indictment. Eugene Weathers, Ewing
Shields and l. c. Wallick, indicted by the
same grand jury charged with riot on the
same night Dawson was abused, were ac-
quilted, because of a flaw in the indictment:
The judge held that the prosecution could
not prove that the three had formed Il

Sermons on BiIlboards.
New York Press.


If the plans of the Universal Text Display
Association of Michigan bear fruit the bill
boards and hoardings throughout that State
will be covered with sermons and Bible ex-
tracts this year. A. L. Stanten, a Chicago
travelling salesman, has already started the
campaign for advertising religion. He has
good backing in Muskegon, Bay City and
Niles where societies called the Universal
Text Display Association are already at
work The state president is the Rev. Jos.
B. MacCarthy. of Muskegon, and the state
treasurer is e. H. Stafford, of Nuskegon.
Stanten claims that his observation of the
results of extensive advertising suggested
this movement.
Money is being raised for the work, and
it is intended to secure an elaborate line
of display advertising matter suitable for
billboard use and to cover every board and
dead wall obtainable in the State with short
sermons printed in immense display type.
Texts from the Bible and warning mes
sages TO passing sinners, and, in addition,
photographic illustrations of scenes from
the Bible will be used. Travelling sign
painters will place more prominent sermons
on sgnboards and buildings. In cities the
street cars will be utilized, cards displayed
in hotels, theaters. depots, etc. In short.
il is proposed TO force every one to learn
something of the Bible by having constant
reminders put before them. 1t is intended
to open a campaign in Detroit this week.
