Count Lamsdorff, the czar's new for
eign minister, is reputed among diplo-
matte negotiators as being one of the
easiest yet most difficult men to deal
with. because he SO readily apprehends
what the other side wants and why il
wants it. His power of projecting him
self into the aspirations and necessities
of other countries is so unusual that he
sometimes amazes the ambassadors by
pointing out how change in their de-
signs would be popular at home. The
gift of entering into the life of other
countries he has long cultivated.
For 20 years Count Lamsdorff has
been occupying important Junior, seques-
tered positions in Russia's chancellerie

Henry Labouchere says the model of

Turin, and she grew to resemble Mrs.
Marsh "and is a perfect copy of her in
beaming graciousness of manner and pa

studied at the legation with niece of
Mrs. Marsh, who invited the then prin-
cess, to do so, because she was SO much
neglected.
While most persons are complaining

DULL WEEK IN LONDON.
The Many Funerals Last Week Made
Everybody Somber.
THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.
Every One Wishes 1t Were Over, but
All See the Necessity of Carrying
Matters to "a Finish-Other
Affairs of Interest.

London, Aug. 12.-Last week can
hardly be said to have been lively one
i'll England, for obituaries and funerals
have been taking the largest space in
the newspapers. Particular groups had
plenty to think about. Nevertheless
financiers have been busy with the
american loan," politicians with the
dying parliament and the general cleo
tion prospects and society with country
.amusements.
The way the South African war drags
out wears upon Engishmen, and no news
would be so welcome as that some well
wsher of the Transvaal had convinced
President Kruger that nothing in Europe
or China will make Great Britain relax
her ever Tightening grip on South Africa.
Everybody in the army, or who has any
thing to do with it, in South Africa
wants to come home and is heartily sick
of the whole thing. But, knowing that
it must go on to finish, the dregs of
war are having some bitterness. The
plot to kill British officers at Pretoria is
taken in England as showing the savage
temper of the Beers, while the British
are reported to be doing some things
which are provoking adverse comment
in Great Britain. Thus The Standard
prints a Pretoria dispatch, dated Aug.
8, saying:
"'rhe Beers sniped train at Bronx
hurst yesterday on the line between Pre-
toria and Middleburg. Two of its occu-
pants were wounded. In accordance with
Lord Roberts warning, all the farms
were fired within radius of ten miles"
Even the English papers say there
must be mistake somewhere. A couple
of Beers fire at military train, perfect
lily within their rights as warriors, and
every farmhouse within ten miles in
every direction is committed to the
flames.

LAND FOR RICE.
A Profitable Crop for Farmers of the
South.

Rice is the most profitable field crop
grown in this country. The yield runs
from thirty to fifty bushels, and the
price from 81 to 81 per bushel To this
may be AIDED the bulls, broken grains
and the straw, all of which are valu-
able feed stuffs, and it is apparent
that a rich field is a source of consid-
cradle profit. To grow rice profitably,
level land and an ample supply of
water for irrigation are necessary.
The Gulf coast country affords sew
eral million acres of rs fine rice lands
as the world contains. The level
prairies of the Texas and Louisiana
coast, cut as they are with mime, GUS
bayous of fresh water, afford excel
lent facilities for rice farming. lii
many of our river bottoms there are
large areas that can be cneaplE irri-
gated from bayouS. where the water
stands but little below the general sur
face of the land Where pumping
plants and extensive canal systems
are necessary, combined capital is re-
quired to do the work; but where this
has been attempted the enterprise
has generally proven profitable to all
concerned. Texas alone contains n
large area of possible ricelandS.
From the Colorado River east there
are large sections of fertile praircs
so level that drainage is absolutely
necessary for ordiary farming opera
tions. There is the water and there
is the land. All that is required IS
work by which the water may he con-
trolled according to the necessities of
the case. The people of this country
consume nearly 100000 bushels of
rice every year, and produce less than
half that amount 1t will not he many
years before we will produce more
than we consume.

Wasting Our Heritage.

In England there are grown $50
sheep to 1000 acres of land. Scotland,
in 1893, had more than 1900 sheep
to the 1000 acres of agricultural land.
None Of our states carry more than
20 sheep to 1000 acres. They import
feed and grow their own mutton; we
export our feed and go without NUT
ton. At the same time, with every
bushel of wheat or corn we sell por-
ton of the fertility of our fields. 1t
is estimated roughly that $1,000 worth
of corn at present prices takes with it
$500 worth of plant food, and $1,000
worth Of wheat nearly 5000 worth.
Thus we are getting away with our
heritage at lively rate. If we would
feed our grain crops to live stock it
would reduce the drain on our soils
and greatly increase the profits of our
labor.
