A correspondent of the New York
Tribune writing from Manila late in
July, saws:
The rainy season in the Philippines
has been given a worse reputation
than it deserves. Manila is hot all
the year around, and the great amount
of precipitation at this time of the
year gives the atmosphere a GOODNESS
that is lacking in the months imme-
diately preceding. May and June
are probably the most %unbearable
months in the entire year. Hardly a

Tempered Steel Flows.

Talking with middle Georgia farm
er few days since, he told how much
expense and trouble he had with a
farm that was rocky. He stated that
he wore out new plow-hoe in three
days among these rocks. This called
up a chapter in our history which is
perhaps worth relating.
Many years ago we had lot of four
inch scooters made of old axes. The
eyes of the axes were filled with Swede
iron scraps or old horseshocs and the
steel kept in front, and when the
the plow was finished the ave-temper
was given to the steel, also the axe
edge. We took them to the grindstone.
We found that these hoes lasted
through the entire season. A file was
kept in the field and little or no shop
work was required.
The time saved going to the shop
and expense of shop account were the
smallest items. In hard ground with
the ordinary soft iron or steel hoe you
get little-one day more-good plow-
ing. All the rest is poorly done.
With these cast-steel tempered plows
you do good plowing all the time. If
your fields are infested with May-pops
or bamboo, or sassafras shrubs or 9TH
er such, these plows soon get rid Of
them. You do any kind of plowing you
wish. Put on the johnson wing and
you have the best onc-horsc turner's.
They cost a little more TO begin with,
but are infinitely cheaper in the long
run.-DiXic Farmer.

Character Not Good.

In some rural districts of England
there are held annually hiring fairs,
where farmers and others attend to en-
gage servants. At one held in Glouces-
tershire last autumn a farmer opened
negotiations with lad who seemed
suitable for his purpose. Various ques-
tions having been asked and answered,
the farmer inquired at last
Hast got character from thy last
place?'
NO" replied the boy, "but my old
galfer be about somewhere, and can
get he to write one"
very well,' was the reply; "thee
get it and meet | here again at four
o'clock"
The time came, and so did the farmer
and the boy.
Hast got thy character?" was the
query. The answer came, short and
sharp:
mo- but ha' got thine, and l bean t
a-coming."-Detroit Free Press.

HERE AND THERE.

No hog, except those kept for
breeding purposes, can show good
cause why he should be living after he
is one year old. He should have been
in the scalding trough at eight
months.
This country furnished 135,s47 of
the 109,995 beef cattle imported into
England for the five montbe ending
with May last. This was falling of
about $4,000 as compared with same
period last year.
"A small amount of grain fed to
hogs in summer will do them more
good than five times the amount given
them when they can only get dry feed.
This is the oniy reason why the qondi-
ton of the corn crib in summer is the
best test whether farmer is u good
manager or net.

PROPER HANDLING OF COTTON.
A Question of Nitnl Interest to the
Cotton Planters of the SOUTH

There is no question now before the

Volumes have been written upon the

grow cotton cheaply and abundantly.

THE PASSING OF THE HORSE.


1 drove my old horse Dobbin, full slowly
One beautiful spring morning. The rising
sun looked down
And saw US slowly jogging and drinking in
the balm
or honeyed breath OF clover fields. We
heard in Natures calm
1he chirping squirrel, whistling bird the
robin and the wren:
The sound of life and love and peace came
DER the field again
Way back behind the wagon there came
a tandem bike.
A ped-lng long to beat the wind; never
saw the like.
They started blythe road was wide, old
Dobbin feeling good,
The quiet calmness of the morn had llv-
ened up his mood
And stretching out adown the road chased
those cyclers two,
Ard Dobbn In his younger days was dis
tanced by but few.
We sped along about a mile, It was a
merry chase,
But Dobbin gave II up at last and, drop
ping from the race,
lie looked at me, as If to say: "Old man,
I'm in disgrace.
The horse Is surely passing by, the bike
has got his place"
And al that day, while In the town, old
Dobbin's spirits fell:
His stout old pride was shaken sure; the
reason / could tell
But when that night we trotted back from
town. below the hill
We met two weary cyclers who waved at
us a bill
That had big V on II. and said It would
be mine
If would let them ride with us and put
their bike behind,
And so | whistled softly, and Dobbin
winked at me:
II guess the horse will stay, old man; he's
puncture proof-you see?'

OPPOSED TO ANY ALLIANCE.
The A. o. III. and the Board of Erin Adopt
Strong Resolutions

New York, May 31.-The Ancient Or
der of Hibernians held it's fifth annual
convention in this city in affiliation
with the Board of Erin, the parent or
ganiZation of Ireland. The convention
adopted the following resolutions:
The national delegates of the An
cient Order of Hibernians, in affiliation
with the Board of Erin, denounce any
alliance of the United States and any
foreign power. Especially do they de-
nounce an alliance with England. who,
finding herself isolated from the rest of
Europe, and not being able to make a
cats-paw of any nation of the Euro
ptan continent, is trying to use this
land of freedom in despoiling and keep
ing under her yoke countries and ma
tions that ought to be be free.
The Irish people who have suffered
from England's oppression for centur-
les, and thousands of whom have fought
for American independence and union
have contributed to the success of this
great and glorious republic. protest en-
ergetically against any entangling all-
ance with England and. that the United
States is great and strong enough to
hold its own against any foreign foe
that might threaten it without the aid
of England, which has always been in

it is the mission and the duty of the
of the monopoly for the public, for the
people-that means municipal and gov
ernment ownership of all monopo1ies
which it is practicable for a govern
ment as yet to control. That politician
makes a mistake who thinks that by a
mere denunciation of trusts you can
fool a great number of democrats in
1900. People want to know what we
propose to do about it.
Il hear it said that we cannot carry
the. country unless We get New York,
and that in order to get New York we
must abandon our principles. l dispute
both propositions, and in the second
place l want to say that the time has
gone by when the democracy can carry
New York on a blear-eyed platform.
The rank and file of the democratic
party in New York is aroused and it is
as devoted to the principles of the Chi
cagO platform as is the party in this
country"

CANADIAN BOUNDARIES.
The Government at Washington Still Ne
gotiating With Great Britain.

Washington, May 31-The officials
here are unwilling to be drawn publicly
into a controversy over the Canadian
boundary, even though the matter has
been made the subject of a statement
in the house at Ottawa by Sir Wilfred
Laurier which, in the ordinary course,
would relieve the department from the
obligation to maintain silence. They
take the view, however, that the pend
ency of the negotiations with Great
Britain on the subject make it mad
visable at this time to make public the
record of the proceedings of the joint
commission.
1t can be stated, however, on author
ity, that there is no disposition to ques-
ton the accuracy of the statement
made by Sir Wilfred yeserday as to the
position respecting arbitration of the
Canadians. But this is subject to the
important qualification that the state
ment referred to a state of affairs eX-
listing when the commission was in ses-
sion and at it's termination and not
later. Since then there have been nego-
tiatiuns directly between the British
government and the government of the
United States conducted of late through
Mr.. Choate and Lord Salisbury in Lon
don, and of what has taken place Sir
Wilfred Laurier's statement takes no
account.
Il is reiterated in the most earnest
manner by the officials here that in
these negotiations Canada stood in the
way of an agreement which the British
authorities, after mature consideration
have accepted as eminently fair and
just Respecting the conditional de-
mand for possession of Pyramid harbor
on the Lynn canal, pending the deci-
sion of an arbitration or some other
competent authority that her title is
good, it can be stated that the position
of our government remains unchanged
1t does not recognize any parallel be-
tween the Canadian claim to Pyramid
harbor and our own claim to Dyea and
SkagWay. OF the latter we have been
in undisputed possession for many
years; in fact, our title has never be-
fore been questioned. Canada, on the
other hand. never asserted any claim
to Pyramid harbor until lately and
never has been in even temporary pos
session, so that the legal aspects of the
claim are regarded as entirely differ
ent.
The proposition from the British side
to declare neutral a strip of the coun-
try from the head of the Lynn canal
back across the mountains to the Ca
madam line has not commended itself
to the state department. which fails to
see why the United States should vol
unfairly surrender absolute title to ter
ritory belonging to the United States
