I'm War Time.


list. If one man were selected
from every fifty Americans be-
tween the ages of eighteen and
forty-fve wears the result would
be an army of about a quarter OF
a million men-more than we
need to defend our coasts and
meanwhile help the insurgents To
sweep Spain out of Cuba. More
than can he needed will be glad
to volunteer; there's always too
large a proportion of men who
rejoice in the prospect of fighting
with some one, so there will be
no demand or excuse for men
with families, business or other
responsibilities to hurry into uni
form and away to the front.
But there are duties quite as
honorable and exacting as shoot
ing and being shot. In time of
war, or of assuring peace by pre-
pairing for war, governments
most numerous and virulent enc
mics are within its own borders.
Among them are the men who
protest against the increase of
taxes that military outlay COM
pels. War, even to the victor, is
shockingly costly; the fifty mil.
lion dollars appropriated several
weeks ago will be but mere be-
ginning of the expense, if war is
to come. Cheerfulness under in
creased taxation is the rarest OF
patriotic qualities.
Worse than the men who
scheme to evade war taxes are
they who make of war an oppor-
tunity to prey upon the people.
A contract to furnish military or
naval supplies is not proof-posi-
tive of a desire to steal, but in all
civilized lands, in wartime, army
and navy contracts have been
the favored means of gigantic
swindles to which many civilians
have consented, on the strange
theory that a government, like a
corporation, has no soul, yet has
money of its own, and is there
fore fair game for any one. In
past days competent soldiers OF
all grades in all nations have had
reason to prefer contractors to
the enemy as persons deserving
to be shot, and human nature
has made no notable change for
the better in recent years.
1t will be bad citizenship to
lessen business efforts, lock up
money and sell securities because
of a war-scare or even in case OF
war itself. Most businesses in
prove in wartime in the United
States, for demand for manutac,
tured goods and food products
increases, new industries are crea,
ted by military requirements, the
demand for labor and the wages
of workmen improve, railway
business becomes larger and
money circulateS more freely. In,
deed, the probabilities of i'm.
provement of business is one Of
the arguments in favor of war,
more's the pity. Any eXuberarce
of courage which the patriotic
civilian may possess can be prot.
itably exerted in combating the
possessor's business alarms and
those of his acquaintance.
In brief, the duties of the civil.
ian in time of danger are quite as
great and exacting as those o.
the soldier, and to fulfill them is
to manifest a high quality O
loyalty and a keen sense of ma
tional honor.-Collier's Weekly.

ISLAND PoND. APRIL 10.
Grand Trunk ANIMAL rlssting.


The annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Grand Trunk
Railway Co. was held in Lon
don. Eng. on the 9TH inst, at
which Sir Charles Rivers Wilson
the president gave a somewhat
extended account of the situa-
ton under the new regime. He
spoke in high commentator of
the administrative ability of the
management and showed by
statements remarkable resultsu up
to the end of 1897. He said:
"The company is not now
only free from debt for the
first time since 1890, but has
more than enough cash on
hand to meet its outstanding
liabilities.
He spoke of the extensive
contemplated improvements in
connection with the Victoria
bridge and of the immense Port
l.rnd trade which has been built
up. He said:
THE Grand Trunks pro-
portion of the earnings on the
Montreal and Portland line
was for 1897 almost double
that of 1896 and three times
that of 1895"
From this it seems that we
have a Every live" enterprise in
our midst, and one that is Great
ing and increasing a large vol
ume of business especially on our
end of the road, and is contem-
templating more extensive inn
provements here than have here
tofore ever been made. This is a
matter of congratulation to us
because when a road is prosper
Gus the country through which
it runs inevitably feels and shares
in that prosperity. When the
blood in the main artery runs
quick and healthy everything
contiguous or tributary to it
feels its lively impulses. We are
too apt to disregard and under
rate the relations to and depend
ence on industrial enterprises O
communities which they touch
more or less directly. The i'm
portance Of the increase of the
traffic and business of this roat
to people along its line may b.
perceived by imagining that thu
road was discontinued. If there
were no road here look for a mo
ment and see how many mel
there would be with occupations
gone and how many interests
crippled or destroyed! An enter
prise in our midst is hardly rec
. .ognized or appreciated by some
even while they see money
brought into numerous families
each week or month, bringing
happiness and comforte ;whicl
could not possibly be obtained
but for the enterprise which
creates the source. In view O
this it is not only good manner:
but it is policy as we'll as justice
to regard our large enterprises
as part of our own, and ou1
own prosperity as dependent
upon them, and to treat the live
men who are prosecuting thos,
enterprises with courtesy anc
cooperation, and to regard a 10
cal convenience or Inconvenience
as weighed against theirs, and tt
treat them with concession.
which will breed mutually. Els
pecially do we see for our owr
little locality the Importance O.

There is no profession that holds out
such tempting allurements to the youth
Of to-day as that of metallurgist and
mining expert" said Mr.. d. G. Downs,
Of San Francisco. LAST gear, Of the
class OF about dozen who were grad
uated from the school of mines in the
University iof California, at least ten
have found excellent situations with
big salnries. Our universities cannot
turn out expert mining engineers fast
enough for the demand. When was in
London last sunmey an English scien-
tist tod me that there would be
strong dema nd for years for competent
men. and added that England kept the
United States drained Of its best min
ing talent. They are wanted in South
Africa, in Australia, New Zealand; in
fact, all over the world, and they can
get higher pay than doctors. lawyers
or any other class Of professional men.
Any young man who is ambitious for
q career that will lead TO fortune, II
rot to fame, and perhaps to both II

no mistake by qualifying himself In

PASTURE FOR STOCK.


II the stock is kept IN the best health
and thrift through what may be termed
the growing season, more or less pas
turage will be found advantageous.
But in making the most out OF the pas
lures It will be found best to divide into
At least two pastures and in msuy
cases three will be still better. One
should be convenient to the barn and
should be reserved especially for the
teams. With cattle and sheep, and
horses and hogs. not only II . change
Of pasturage beneficial. but the pasture
will be eaten down much more evenly.
When all stock pasture together in one
field there seems to be a natural in
clination to keep a part OF the grass
eaten down close while part Of the
grass will be allowed to grow up and
mature seed. But where the stock are
changed from one pasture to another
every two or three weeks all Of the
grass will be eaten down more evenly
snd there will be much less waste. To
provide the necessary pastuage Il
should be arranged for In good season
30 that after grass starts up in the
spring they can be ready for use when
needed. While It is on item to lave
plenty Of good pasture at the same Nme
II is not advisable to have SO much in
such shape that more or less would bt
wasted. Pasturing cattle on grasses
nearly eight months in the year is the
cheapest way to raise good feeders, and
there should be no waste.-Dakota
