GERMAN Discomfort.
1t Il Fostered by the Agrarians Who
Are Actuated by Jealousy Of
American Farmers.

The German agrarian party, which
has been strong enough in the reichs-
tag to impose conditions upon it's sup
port of the emperor's naval policy, is
made up of landowners and farmers
whose land is burdened with debt. It
represents an agricultural interest
which is not prospecting ON equal terms
with the bankers, manufacturers and
merchants. It is not badly off, but it is
disconnected with the meager share
which it has in the good fortune of the
Fatherland.
The agrarians, havinga powerful po-
itical organization of their own, are
endeavoring to secure legislation which
will promote the interests of farming
and render it more profitable. They
wish to exclude from the home market
breadstuffs and meats from America,
and to force their own products into
foreign markets by commercial treaties.
They also clamor for the enactment of
laws by which bankers and money
lenders will be injured middlemen and
brokers suppressed, and merchants and
shippers restricted and hampered in
their business.
In reality, the agricultural classes in
Germany have had more special legis-
lation than manufacturers. merchants
or business men. The sugar industry
under the bounty system has been Gre
Eated and artificially developed at the
expense of consumers and taxpayers.
All the resources of the state have been
employed in enlarging the production
of beet sugar, and in displacing cane
sugar in the markets of the world.
The German agrarians are we'll or
ganized, and their political support
for naval votes and government meas
ures has to be secured by concessions.
Every year something is done for them,
and they persist in making fresh de-
mands.
Discomfort like theirs is a disturbing
force. 1t is based upon class jealousy
and resentment. National prosperity
can never be measured off in equal
shares to all the productive classes.
There will be less, rather than more,
of that prosperity if one class arrays
itself in hostility to other interests

Quick Returns from HOrs.

Here is what an Illinois feeder says
in the American Swineherd about the
hog business: I can get returns from
my crop of pigs Almost as quick as if
growing grain and turning it into the
market. If bushel of corn is worth
80 cents at the elevator can turn that
Sc pounds of corn into IA pounds of
pork at three cents pound, which is
AZ cents, and five cents pound, which
is 70 cents, thus showing good money
in the selling of your corn at 70 cents a
bushel and improving the farm, while
the seller of grain gets only 80 cents
and wears out his land. This is my
reason for engaging in raising hogs
instead of selling grain from the farm.
There is money in it, there is profit in
it, and it is good business to do it.

Long Roll Of Paper.

One hundred miles without a break
roll of that length was made at
Lloyd's paper mills at Sittingbourne,
in Kent. last year by the first Ameri-
can machine introduced into England.
The Sittingbourne roll is over three
times the length of the 31-mile roll
which previously was the longest on
record. and which was made by the
Racquette River Paper company at its
paper mills at Potsdam, n. Y. A roll of
paper IA miles in length and &c inches
in width, or ten inches wider than the
Racquette company's roll, was shown
at the Pittsburgh exposition. 1t
weighed 2,65s pounds, and was called
the Jumbo roll, because when it was be-
ing moved it required the united
strength of - strong men to put it
into the wagon.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

GOLD CHAW" IN MISSOURI.
How the Settlers of Saline County
Made the Real Old "HOme-
spun Terbaker."

An old Missourian from one of the
brush districts of Saline county was a
witness in the circuit court in Mar
shall recently. The Index says: While
waiting in an anteroom he pulled from
his pocket chunk of tobacco six inches
long, two inches in diameter and per-
fectly round and smooth, and as hard
almos. as flint. After he had cut off
chew a man who had watched him
asked him what it was. "Terbaker,"
he answered. Eyes, know. but what
kind is it? my own kind" "Where
do you buy it?" ''Don't buy it. It's
homespun terbaker. made it myself"
In response to a good deal of ques-
tioning the old man told his story how
the roll of tobacco was made. 'Fust
and fo'most," he said, "you must have
good upland homegrown leaf terbaker
and cure it in the sun. Then you stem
it, takin' out all the stalks. When
you're ready in the fail to make up
your years supply of chawin' terbaker,
you saw off hickory log and bore a
hole in one end about foot deep with
a two-inch auger. You have your leaf
soaked in honey and peach brandy, or.
if you haven't any peach brandy, apple
brandy will do. You put your soaked
terbaker leaves into the two-inch auger
hole in the hickory log and ram it
down tight an keep putin in the leaf
and rammin' it down till the hole is
nearly full. Then you take a hickory
plug made to fit the hole and drive it
in as tight as you can with maui. This
mashes the terbaker into solid chunk.
Then you put the green hickory log on
the fire and let it burn slow till it is
heated all through and the sap begins
to sizzle out of the ends. You take the
log off then and put it out of doors to
cool over night. The next morning you
split the log open and there's your
chunk of chawin terballer that will
keep as hard as leather in any climate,
but it's the sweetest chaw in the world.
There never was no store terbaker to
hold a candle to it for a sweet. juicy,
lastin' chaw."
Several tobacco chewers standing
around sampled the old mans home
made plug and declared that it was the
best they had ever tasted Gin the old
days that's the way the fust settlers in
Missouri made their chawin' terballer.''
the old man said.

SAVED BY ANIMALS.
Instances in Which They Have Been
known to Avert Serious
a. Accident1.

Accidents have occasionally been
caused by animals. Here, however, are
some striking instances in which ca.
tastrophes have been prevented and
lives spared by the action of faithful
animals, says the Cincinnati Enquirer:
In New York, about two years ago,
the little three-year-old daughter of a
merchant was left by her nurse near
an open window three stories high.
Through this window she crept, and
would have fallen on to the pavement
below but for the intervention of de.
voted dog, who seized her dress in his
teeth and held her tightly until aid ar
rived.
During the autumn of last year a
Bristol family was saved from an aw-
full death through the action of a faith
full cat. In the early hours of the men,
orable morning in question the master
of the house was awakened by the cats
paw gently patting his cheek. He
pushed the animal away, but pussy per-
sisted with her odd alarm until the
gentleman rose. Then he discovered
that the house was on fire, and the in
timation came only just in time to en-
able him and his family to effect their
hurried escape from the fiery doom.
The exodus of colony of rats from
certain ship in dock led an observant
captain to have his vessel overhauled,
when it was discovered that the ships
bottom had sustained an injury which
must have resulted in her laundering
at sea had not the accident been indi-
rectly averted, by the action of the
alarmed rodents.
The shrill screaming of a pet parrot
one winters morning awakened a fam
lily in Holland in the nick of time to save
them from the threatening flood which
was sweeping down their street from
a dam which had burst in the town
| above them.
From another disastrous flood in In
dia some years ago the broad back of
an elephant offered ample sanctuary
to an imperiled family. The animal
| heard his masters call and came
through the rising waters to the open
window where the family was assem-
bled. From thence the devoted ele-
plant conveyed his precious burden to
place of safety.
In cage of performing animals at
an itinerant menagerie the tanner was
putting the huge beasts through their
tricks, when the sudden temper of an
old lion would doubtless have resulted
in the death of the tanner but for the
opportune aid rendered by pet puma,
who sprang at the throat of the vi
cious lion and diverted his attention
until the tanner had time to assert his
authority and restore order.
| A French gentleman was in peril of
| his life at the hands of surprised and
desperate burglar, when the burly body
of pet bear interviewed between the
householder and his would-be assail-
ant and spared him an encounter out
of which he must have come second
best.
The pet dog of British scout by a
timely bark prevented patrol from
entering Boer ambuscade, and so
saved a dozen men from imminent
death.

JAPANESE WEDDING STAMPS.
They Commemorate the Recent Mar
rage of the Prince Inn
perial.

Japan has recently issued a new
series of postage stamps that will be
of great interest to philatehsts. They
commemorate the recent marriage Of
the prince imperial. In the oval frame
is pictured low table spread with
paper, the place where all Japanese
marriages are solemnized. The table
is decorated with bamboo stalks and
plum twigs and blossoms, and at each
corner rises spray of pines. The
pine and the bamboo, being ever
greens, represent that in which there
is neither variability nor shadow of
turning; the pun, on the other hand.
stands for that which buds, blossoms
and fruits for the good of man. The
are the crane and the tortoise; OF
these the bird is symbolic of 1000
years and the turtle of 10000 years.
Here sit the bride and the bridegroom
and pass each other cups of saki to
the number of nine and so they are
married. for the nine drinks together
symbolic the perfect japanese mar
rage.
This in Japan is the emblem of we'd
lock and for that reason it has been
reproduced in the commemorat tive
stamp issue on the wedding of the
crown prince. At just such a table
sat he anu his bride. and the stalks
of bamboo and sprays of pine and the
blooms of the plum all Joined in wish
ing them both all health, wealth and
happiness without changing, and the
crane and the turtle, fixed sort OF
generous time limit to all the good
wishes by suggesting that it might
possibly come to an end 5000 or 10000
years hence.
This is the way the japanese set
forth the meaning of the picture on
the new stamp and for confirmation
they point to the legend, which they
stoutly aver is statement of tbs
name o. the prince and the princess
and the date when they slipped the
nine cups of saki.

Protecting Stock from Flies.

1t is rather difficult to protect horses
and cattle against the attacks of flies
when outdoors or in a pasture. The
farmers in Holland endeavor to protect
their cattle while in pasture by cover
ing them with thin muslin blankets.
Washing the animals repeatedly with
decoction of walnut leaves has been
recommended. but having no expert
ence 1 cannot say whether the protec-
ton is complete one or not. I am
inclined to doubt it. The small flies
which usually attack the eyes are prob
ably best warded off by applying to the
eyelids a little extract of gentiana.-

Advantages of Green ManurSng.

The advantage of blowing under a
green crop compared with the use of
fertilizers is that when the land is COW
cred there is formation of humus.
Rotation of crops and green manuring
is manuring the soil as thoroughly as
with the barnyard material but the
practice should be permanent. Fer
tilizers give quicker results, but green
manuring will be less expensive. Cow
peas grow quickly and will always re-
turn to the soil more than their cost.
Crimson clover, if sowed in August and
plowed under in May. will be a val
liable crop at small cost.

KEEPING HOGS CLEAN.
This IL Equivalent to Keeping TIL EN-
in Good Health and Promoting
Their Growth.

There is no excuse for allowing the
hog house quarters to become foul and
diseased. Given the chance the hog
will do more toward, keeping himself
clean than any other farm animal will.
More than two-thirds of the disease in
swine owes it's origin to filth and lack
Of care in feeding. The hog has no
need of a wallow in summer time. The
land occupied by wal1ow holes would
be vastly more profitable if planted in
some succulent crop to feed when au-
tumn pasture is short. Go among
breeders who handle good hogs only
and you will find no hogs wallowing in

CATARRH

or Inflammation of this delicate pink
membrane.
The system is weakened in win
ter. The delicate lining is more
susceptible to irritation or inhamma-
ton, and thus we have pneumonia,
grip, colds, coughs, fevers, etc., all
catarrhal conditions which may
easily be checked by one catarrh
cure-Pe-ru-na.
That's the only way out of it.
You may dose forever-you will
not be we'll until you try the true
cure and that is Pe-ru-na. You
may think your trouble is some
other disease and not catarrh. Call
it what you will, one thing is sure,
your system is affected and must be
treated, and Pe-ru-na is the only
remedy which reaches the right
place and does cure.

7 Asst WEEK attended a wedding.
Ny old chum Max was married.
He has a pretty little wife and they
have purchased neat little cot
tage over in Jersey somewhere. They
have gone there to live; to settle down
and forget the world at large; to live
in each other; to be happy, content
ed with the humdrum of Jersey vii
lage for the rest of their days. And
Max wishes me to-get married; to set
tie down; to move to Jersey and live
near him; to be oblivious forever of
the awful city noise and confusion.
Max is still my friend. He didn't re-
alize what he was advising. He meant
no harm. Max is business man. He
has had any amount of business ex-
perience, but he isn't philosopher.
He looks on the bright side of things,
even matrimony.
When I refused point-blank to con-

might tend to mar his happiness, but

modest flats. 1 led Max to the WIN

a few moments, and then remarked
that likely enough they were happy
homes. This was exactly what l had

his closing sentence, for the first time
mentioning William Mckinley by
name as the nominee, to electrify the
great multitude. Pandemonium broke
loose. Former tempests of enthusiasm
