To Abolish Army "Canteens.'

When the army bill was under con-
sderation in the National House, Mr..
johnson Of North Dakota, offered the
following amendment to abolish can
teens: THAT no officer or private
40 der shall be detailed To sell intoxcat-
ing drinks, as bar tender or otherwise,
in any post exchange OF canteen, nor
shall any other person be required or
allowed to sell such liquors in any en-
campment OF fort or on any premises
used for military purposes by the United
States
This amendment WAS Endorsed, he
said, by almost all the generals in the
army who had expressed opinions except
General Eagan. He said the amendment
was in line with the experience of our
army in Cuba and the Philippines and in
line with the experience OF the British
army In India. Experimentation had
shown 10 the case of the British army,
lac said, that where abstinence was i'm
posed there was greater efficiency. He
quoted General Wolseley, General
Kitchener and other British officers, and
referred to the voluminous memorials in
favor of the amendment presented by
Christian and reform associations.
Mr.. Johnson's amendment was agreed
to without division. The chairman's an
nouncement of its adoption WAS the sly
nal for an outburst Of applause.

A Boom for HartIand.

The Linn Wooden Company OF Hart
land, owing to the splendid showing in
the wooden mill business several years
ago, built a new mill across the street
from the old plant and one of the finest
structures of the kind for a wooden
building. 10 the State.
Nothing was slight about 1t from
the first rock laid in the foundation till
the last nail WAS driven in the structure.
The firm had laid their plans and fully
expected to fill the mill with machinery
and have the same la operation within
six months after the building WAS COM
pleted. The turn in the market and the
sudden change from brisk demand at a
fair profit to practically no demand and
no profit caused a change OF plans ana
from that time TO this the new mill with
the exception of some machinery being
run in the basement, has been used as Il
storehouse only.
A few weeks ago good opportunity
was presented the company to buy n
large quantity OF machinery that was IN
mill in New Hampshire, at very rea-
sonable figure, 80 low, in fact, that 1t
was regarded good bargain even II an
opportunity was not offered the firm TO
come The machinery was for carding
and spinning, and the firm purchased II,
sent their men there, had 1t shipped to
Hartland, and it Is now being set up and
placed In running order. 1t Is under
stood that the changed conditions of the
market with many orders already re-
ceived, has caused the firm to decide to
put in number of looms and that as
soon IA possible the new mill will be
furnishing employment 10 large num-
Der of hands.

Circulation Figures.
The Boston Sunday Journals Statement
to the People.

The Boston Sunday journal has
caused sensation in New England
newspaper circles by telling the people
frankly in it's columns the actual figures
OF its circulation in detail. 1t has been
induced to take this step, the Journal
says, on account of the inaccurate circu-
laton figures put forth by one of the
other Boston Sunday papers-the Herald.
The journal declares that the genuine
circulation of the journal is within 20
per cent of the genuine circulation of the
Herald, and the Journal offers to sub
stantiate the statements by an open COM
parison OF the books Of the Herald and
journal before impartial and competent
persons. The journal takes this step, az
it says, purely MS a matter of business,
believing that it would be unfair to itself
to allow the Herald's figures to go un-
challenged. The Journals figures show
that the Sunday Journal has gained In
circulation, in the district named, $4,000
copies during the past year, tremend-
Gus increase in n twelve month, and Illus
tratve of the rapidly and steadily grow
ing popularity Of the paper.

Literary Notes.

Director of the Mint George +. Rob
erts has an important article in the Feb
ruary Forum on 1.-THE Increasing Supply
of Gold" Mr.. Roberts claims that the
combined output of gold and silver (less
the amount consumed In the industries
and art was $3lS, 5S7, $40, in 1896
whereas in 1900 the output of gold alone
will reach $3.50, 900, 900 or $4,000 900.
He asks, will Mr.. Bryan, when he comes
into the field in 1900, go on affirming
that the supply of money has been cut
In two, or will he embrace the oppor-
tunitv gracefully to drop the subject on
the plea that the end he desired is &C.
complished?
With the recently aroused interest in
all matters pertaining to our navy, oc.

the "Merrimac' in Hampton Roads in
the spring of 1862. This article pos
sesses additional interest as the personal
narrative of an eye witness, Il gunner on

here repeats.

question of army beef in its bearings on

will be of service to those who aspire to
have gardens of their own, for the sug-
gestions they contain will be a valuable
