PATRIOTISM IN KANSAS.

| The testers of the country must find butt for popular jokes, for her pa triotic and fighting record of the past year entities her to great honors. She threw off the yoke of populism, gave us Colcnel Funston and the famous Twentieth Kansas, and now she has ccme ito the front and center to re- port that she has the most patriotic town in the country. The little town of Frederic, Kan, has just furnished fourteen recruits for the United States army, and should the whole country contribute q like percentage of it's population to the army, we would have nearly 1000, 900 soldiers, or more than enough to conquer the world. Fred eric has a population of 123. About two weeks ago the recruiting officer at Kansas City received a notice that if he would send a man to that little place he could secure a number of good recruits. The officer was sent to the town. and when he stepped off the train, he was met by a band, half of the town was at the depot, and every
 building in the place had a bunch of bunting or a flag. Twenty-one men lined up for the examination when the army officer opened his recruiting sta tfon, and fourteen of them passed, but there are still mere patriots in that town, and the officer received applica- tions from three women who wanted to become army nurses. Business was suspended in the town for two days, and when the officer left with his four teen new soldiers there was another big demonstration. But Frederic is not the only patriotic town in Kansas, and the recruiting station at Kansas City has received another appeal The little town of Sedan, with 5000 inhabi- tants, has asked for a recruiting otff- cer and promises tC furnish "at least fifty soldiers. -Des Moines Register.

TEACHING CHILDREN RELIGION.

l have pondered a good deal for years upon the question Of how to teach religion to young children, and now I am fain tc. admit that it cannot be done except in the largest and most elementary sense. Religious diction Is still language quite apart from everyday use, and it's unfamiliar words are curiOusly warped and twist ed every day in the minds of wonder ing little ones. I venture to say that the idea of God which we generally manage to convey to them is a strict ly anthropOmorphic one; and it is even doubtful whether He represents to many of them a higher power than does Santa Claus or Jack Frost, in whose actual existence they have equal faith. The truth is that children are little pagans. They believe implicitly in the supernatural, it is true, but to them the moon may well be a deity and the mysterious, fitting bat an angel" God reveals himself to them vaguely through nature, and even more dimly in their own conscious neS6; and if we can put upon ourselves wise restraint and help them cnly to something of reverent communion with the Unseen, we shall do better than if we prescribed a form in which the spirit is lacking-Eiaine Goodale Eastman in the June Woman's Home Companion.

ANDREW CARNEGIE.

The retirement of Andrew Carnegie from business recalls the fact that the great manufactures and financier has
 given away to religion, education and
 charity s17 7,0Q0, coo in the past quarter
 of century-an average of nearly
 ST00, 900 year Mr. Carnegie has had
 his troubles in amassing the fortune
 that enabled him to do this, and ID
 man has been more bitterly maligned as a tyrant to the masses. During his
 memorable Homestead strike certain
 newspapers melted his workmen to
 violence that shed much blood, de-
 stroyed millions of dollars worth of property and was only subdued by the national guard Of the rights and
 wrongs of that struggle there need be no discussion here. Perhaps Carnegie was wrong in taking so large a share of the product of labor to himself, though it should be remembered that it was not manual labor alone but the
 work of his own marvellous brain as well that made his great fortune. But it should be said to his everlasting praise that he returned much of his gains to the very men toward whom he was said to be unjust, and in a way that gave them benefits they would not have otherwise enjoyed. To Pittsburg he gave a library and art gallery cost ing three millions; to Allegheny a H brary costing s375,000; to Braddocll a library costing S5OO,O0O; to Johns town a library costing s3O0,0O0; to Car negie similar gift at a cost of S21U,- GOO; to Pittsburg a workmen's insti- ute at cost of nearly two millions; to Homestead, the scene of the great strike, an institute, s500,000, and to DuQuesne an institute, $500, 900. These are only his principal gifts to the towns in which he employed labor Perhaps it was his duty G6 a steward and fortunate brother man. Pc that as it may it should be said to his credit that he did more than any other American Croesus-he performed his duty. And his duty, he says himself is not yet done. Thousands more will be his

are found more or less throughout the
 western part of the country.
 The Yellowstone valley is arid, and 1 irrigation is necessary for agriculture. 1 Only a small amount Of land is under 1 cultivation, and water has been nsed
 to irrigate these fields only twelve to | fifteen years; but already a consider able area of the fertile fields has been destroyed by the accumulation of
 earthly salts near or at the surfa ce preventing the growth of crcps. Last years investigation showed that the source of this salt is the un- derlying shales and other rocks whose decay produces the soils. If the eli mate were humid, the soluble mate rials in the soil would be removed, but in this arid region they tend to accu- mulate. Too much water has been applied to the soil in irrigation and the consequent evaporation draws to the surface the water that has percolated into the soil. This water leaves at CT near the top Of the ground ali the min eral matter that has been in solution and in time the snow-like crust is formed.
 The result is that though one farm CT may be exceedingly careful not 70 water his lands too literally, his farm may be ruined by the carel6SSneSS CT neighbors working at a higher eleva- ton from whose land the excess water may slowly percolate to the acres of the more careful land holder carrying the load of saline matter in solution. The department of agriculture will carry out similar Investigations this season in the Pecos valley of New Mex ico and the great Central valley of Utah, paying particular attention to the occurrence of alkali and the evil effects of it's development and spread over the surface of the ground.-New York Sun

BOSTON GIRLS ENTERPRISE.
Made a Good Many Hundred Dollars One Year Mending Fragile Ware.

A Boston girl has begun the work of repairing precious pottery. glassware, porcelain and statuary Last year sh7 patched up S300,000 worth of fragile ware, and sine got nearly 10 per cent on the value Of the goods redeemed. It is said to have been more than the sal ary of Mayor Quincy or Governor Vol colt. This girl began by inducing 2 large department house to allow her to repair not Cnly their own fine pot
 tery and glassware, but to take orders from customers of the house who brought their broken ware there in the hope that there was some one in the establishment who could fix it up. She was an artist to begin with and in ad- dition she had a good deal of mechani- cal ingenuity. Later she got a c0r- tract from an art museum in Boston to GO such work of this kind as the m>seum could supply. This includes many rare vases and other articles which are dug up in old world fields, and which reach the museum a mass of a thousand fragments The little pieces are taken to the studio of the bric-a-brac surgeon, and there the art ist mechanic spends hours, days and weeks ill asserting the fragments and putting them together.
 She uses a particularly fine kind of cement, which is made from the albI- men of eggs, mixed with evap0ratad whey This cement will endure heat and moisture and is everlasting. One of the latest triumphs of this girl is seen in a built-up glass urn from the valley of the Nile. This precious relic Is exhibited in a museum. It is appar- entity fawless and through it the beau- tiful hues of the rainbow simmer like the dancing colors of a soap bubble i'll the sunlight. Yet this urn came to the museum in thousands of little bits. So carefully have these fragments been put together that scarcely a trace of the mending can be seen, even by the keenest eyes. Recently a fabulous price was offered for the urn and re- fused.-New Haven Register.

No other paper ln the southwest covers mining matters as fully as The Republican. IT has two well posted correspond ents in the field at present, and their entertaining letters are at tracting general attention. The mining men of Arizona have every reason to tie to The Re publican, for their interests are faithfully guarded by it.

It should not escape the attention of persons who may be misguided enough to put their trust in the foolish talk of the so-called anti-imperialists whn charge that the administration is throttling a brave people struggling fer liberty, that but a beggarly frac- ton of the Filipinos have been arrayed against the American soldiers The most liberal estimates place AguinaI dos army at not over 3O,OOO, and it is conceded by all the correspondents at Manila that a good part of that nunl- Der were ccnscripted by the brutal dic- tator and have been serving through fear alone. By far a greater numbei, of the inhabitants of the Philippines have welcomed an American protector ate, and millions more have by acqui- essence given a tacit consent tn the Americans to establish peace and 1ib- erty in their country. The wild and seditious talk of agitators of the At kinsCl and New York Evening Post stripe does not stand for a minute against these unchallenged facts.

COMPETITION AND COMBINATION

We are told that the big corpora- tiCns called trusts destroy competition While this information is still ringing in our ears we read of the vigorous competition between producers of oil and between refiners of sugar and manufacturers of spices, and are lead to reflect that there seems to be no guarantee against competition. - Brooklyn Eagle
