A USEFUL INVENTION.

1t may not be known to many
that P. H. Holm, the Judge OF pro-
bate OF this county, is a natural
born mechanic and inventor, and
that he devotes odd moments be-
tween attending to the needs OF wild
ows and orphans, to the construc-
tion and invention of mechanical ap-
pliances for the benefit of mankind.
About year ago he patented an
improvement on the gramophone by
which the tones were reproduced
more clearly and distinctly and
without the harsh grating sound so
common on these instruments. Re
Gently he has patented another in
vention Of greater utility, no doubt,
than the former, 1t is nothing more
nor less than a small hand pump OF
simple construction and which will
be found a most useful article in
every home for putting out incipient
fires, washing windows, sprinkling
lawns, and in countless other ways.
1t consists OF brass tube about
two feet long, to one end OF which is
attached a nozzle and at the other
is a handle ATTACHED to a piston.
When the piston is drawn up water
fills the cylinder, which will hold
about a gallon, and when forced
down it is elected. By it stream
of water can he thrown over a
house. Mr.. Holm is making ar
rangements to have this pump man.
ufactured on a large scale and sup
piled to the trade. Its cost will not
be great. It will be q useful article
in every home, especially for fire
protection, and Mr.. Holm will
make a good thing out of
the invention.

ANTS eat everything they can get
hold OF in the Philippines, and paper
money is a great delicacy with them
and in great demand So difficult is
it to stamp out the ant plague that
the government has made up it's
mind to circulate only gold and sill
yer there for the present. Recently
a million dollars in small bills was
forwarded for the soldiers, but the
ants got in their work as soon as
the money was landed, and when
their depredations we're finally dis
covered the edges of the bills had
been eaten away for a depth OF near
ly quarter Of an inch all around.

The people ofthe United Stated are
too busy to go to war this year.
Government recruiting agents who
were at Fargo recently took a trip
through the northern and western
part of the state in search of re-
cruits, and had to return without
being able to enlist a single man.
And the failure is not owning to the
lack Of patriotism either. The peo-
pie are fully occupied in peaceful
pursuits.

HERE is a little story that illus
trates the hard work OF the primary
teacher, besides there is a chance to
laugh if you see where the laugh
comes in. One of our pretty school
marms who teaches a few miles out
OF town was using all her ingenuity
in teaching an apparently dull little
fellow to spell and pronounce simple
words. She wrote the word ''feet"
on the blackboard, but Johnny could
not pronounce 1T, although he could
name the letters. With her most
coaxing smile she said: "Now, John
ny, what is it cow has four of
while l have only two?" The an
swer was prompt though unexpected
and the smile faded from her face,
only to be multiplied on the faces OF
sundr.y wicked little fellows who we're
not in the class.-Jackson republican.

The launching Of the grain carry
ing steamer, "John Smeaton,' said
to be the largest vessel ever con-
structed on the great lakes, will take
place on June II, at Superior. This
great steamship will carry 275, 900
bushels Of wheat at one load, or $50
cars OF 600 bushels each, or IL train
loads Of 40 cars each. A single load
will represent the product of 18 300
acres, or Ia farms of 1GO acres
each, reckoned at Is bushels per
acre. Any improvement III the facil-
tiles for shipping grain on the great
lakes will eventually rebound to the
benefit of the grain grower, hence
we hail with favor the construction
of this magnificent vessel.

Among the specific reasons which
have brought about this state of affairs
in addition to the general conditions
above referred to, is the extreme cheap
ness of labor in Brazil and the fact
that people there are willing to accept
the inflated Brazilian currency in pay
ment for their work. Whatever may
be the cause or causes, it is conserv-
atively estimated that the fall in the
price of coffee represents decrease in
wealth of about $500, 000,O00 in gold pei
annum to the coffee producing coun-
tries of the world and a commensurate
decrease in the power of these coffee
growing countries to purchase the other
things which the world has to sell. The
depressed state of the coffee growing
industry and the gloomy outlook for
it's future has led to the proposal Of a
very striking remedy by Don Jose An
tonic Olavarria of Caracas, Venezuela
A very full account of Senior Olavarria' S
scheme appears in the March Bulletin
of American Republics.
The plan is, that there should be
formed a league of the coffee growing
countries, or practically, gigantic COT
fee trust or consolidation which, by
limiting the export of coffee from each
of the countries of the league, shall
enable the worlds consumption finally
to equal the product.
Senior Olavarria would have a CEN
trail committee of the league sitting
constantly in one of the European capt.
tails, which would from time to time
send to each one of the countries IN
the league instructions as to the amount
of coffee that it might export In
season. The Government of each coun-
try in the league is to enter into a
solemn covenant to implicitly obey the
committees directions. Senior Olavar-
ria purposes that this league should be
Immediately formed by a Congress OF
Economists of each countries concern
ed, which should meet in Washington
as soon as possible. He foresees Tor
the operation of his plan the greatest
porting interests of the United States
and Of their customers, the coffee
growing countries of South America.
Senior Olavarria's plan is for trust
on scale not hitherto dreamed of by
any expert in either the making or the
denouncing of trusts. 1t is for trust
on an international basis, and Of Off
cial standing. 1t is magnificent, even
if time should prove it not to be bust
ness.

THERE HAS BEEN lUcTUATi0N
Some Startling Figures Proposal
to Regulate the Export
international League.

The recent history of the great crops
of the world, both of food and fibre,
has been one of steadily increasing pro-
duction and steadily declining price. A
notable exception TO this was the COM
parative failure of the wheat crop in
many countries last year, by reason of
which this country profted largely;
nevertheless, wheat is back again to
prices not very far from it's old low
average, and there is a promise of good
crops for the coming season in all the
grain producing lands. Whether from
considerable enlargement of the areas
devoted to the cultivation of these
crops, or from more thorough and
scientific means of agriculture, or from
freedom from the insect pests and
weather damage which in former times
made the results of agriculture so pre-
carious, the tendency mentioned holds
true
No staple product illustrates this to
a greater extent than that staple of
universal use, coffee. The appended
