Commenting on Mr.. Walter N. Aliens
Farmers Federation. the Wisconsin
Northwestern says:
It is not clear what the exact nature
and purpose Of a farmers trust is or
how Il can effectively serve to restrict
competition and mOnopOlize prices, but
so long as President Allen claims il is
a trust and desires his organization to
be classed as a trust. we have nothing
TO DO but to so regard it. There is one
point however. which attracts atten-
tiOn. Mr. Allen says he is in favor of
trusts and that the farmers Of the Mis-
slssippt valley appreciating the benefits
Of trusts have organized one of their
own for elf-protectiOn. This is much

the benefits of war, it has organized a

"a Tent of Grace" by Adelina c
Lust. Price $50. Published BY


Lust. Price $3.50. Published by
Houghton Miff1in & Co., New York.
This is a story quite out of the COM
mon course, and distinctly above the
ordinary novel in power and interest.
The scene is laid in Germany, and the
time is about the middle of this CEN
tury. The motive of the story is the
deep gulf of racial distinctions The
gulf between the Christian and the Jew
The heroine is a beautiful Jewess
rescued when a child from a mob of
children, and attaining a noble woman
hood under the fostering care of the
pastor of the German village and his
wife. She is loved by Christian and
Jew alike, and the struggle in her mind
between the commanding force of her
religious tradition and the intense force
of her affection is described with per-
feet understanding and remarkable
power.
Without telling more Of the story. it
is safe to say that few novels possess
elements of stronger interest and few
leave the reader more impressed with
"all that human hearts endure" If good
stories well told are popular this is sure
Of a wide popularity.

4 Tree That Yields Electricity.

A German authority has recently an nounced the discovery of tree in the forests of central India whlch has most curious characteristics. The leaves of the tree are of highly sen sitive nature, and so full of electricity that whoever touches one of them re- ceives an electric shock. It has a Fery singular effect upon magnetic needle. and will influence it at a dis tance of even 70 feet. The electrical strength of the tree varies according to the time of day, it being strongest at midday and weakest at midnight. Tn wet weather it's powers disappear altogether. Birds never approach the tree, nor have insects ever been seen upon it.

The Imperial guard of France was created by Napoleon I. from tbe Guard of the Convention, the directory and the consulate, when he became em- peror in 1894.

It has been nearly fifty years since America won the cup from Great Britain in a yacht contest. Twenty-four times since then there has been struggle for supremacy, and every time the Amer ca l has won. In the art of seamanship and in the science of construction we have demonstrated our superiority over the Briton. The lesson of it is obvious. Withathe fastest vessels and the finest seamen in the world we ought to have a higher standing among the navies of the world. American ships should whiten every ocean. It was so, long ago, away back n the days of wooden vessels, but when the age of iron aud steel came we lost our precedence and permitted Eugland to do the greater part of the carrying trade of the world.
