PER CAPITA PROSPERITY.

If anybody in this country Of bound
ing and Astounding prosperity doesn't
feel richer than he did when he was
poor let him consider his per capita
and rejoice. 1t appears that this coun-
try's total stock of money has increased
since 1892 from $2,357 900, 900 to $3,053,-
100000 and the per capita circulation
from $23SS to $2755. A vast amount of
gold has been added to our stock since
1896. In four years the addition of gold
has been $41S,000,000. of which the treas
ury reserve gained $106,0000 900. The
money in circulation increased from 81
596 600, 900 in 1892 to s2113, 100000 in 1900,
three-fifths of the increase being gold
coin and gold certificates. Some $780,
100000 of the Sherman silver notes have
been cancelled. A great change has
been the increase of the proportion of
our paper money in small notes from
ones to tens. Notes of $40 and under
and silver dollars and subsidiary silver
coin have increased from $945, 100000 in
1892 to $1,217 100000 in 1900, an increase
of SO per capita in the kinds of money
the people use most.
If this doesn't make you feel good
consider how much more "per capita"
the increase of the value of this country
in the last ten years has added to your
wealth. 1t must be at least four or five
dollars, and quite likely it is as much as

Some men met in Chicago the other
day and resolved that "the United
States of America, through the State
department thereof, be requested to i'm
with Great Britain for the peaceful ces-
sion of both Ireland and Canada, and
that the said proposed treaty be in lieu
Of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty now
pending, and that the refusal of Great
Britain to respond to these just de-
mands be considered as an unfriendly
act on the part of Great Britain toward
the United States, justifying the imme-
diate recall of the American Ambassa-
dor from London and the direct forma-
tion of a treaty offensive and defensive
with France, Russia, Holland, Switzer-
land, Orange Free State and the people
of Ireland and Canada" They further
resolved that "our sympathy is hereby
expressed with President Kruger by act
of congress, and that the president of
the United States be respectfully re-
quested to invite the Thomas Jefferson
of South Africa to be the guest of the
American nation and instruct the Sec
rotary of the Navy to convey President
Kruger to the United States on man
of-war under command of Admiral
Dewey"

THE DECLINE OF INTELLECT.

| The human intellect, like "the ser
vice." has long been going to the
dogs" Old-fashioned people tell us
that nobody reads anything but news
papers and novels" Many critics in
the serial reviews apologize for noticing
a work that Is not avowedly a work of
fiction Most reviewers have long
dropped the hypocrisy of pretending to
own any acquaintance with the sub
jects of historical, antiquarian, anthro-
biological NEUROLOGICAL and other cru
dite books They frankly avow their
ignorance, unashamed. Poetry is still
"a drug in the market" except where
some new bard is welcomed as an ex-
quisite blend of Shakespeare and Ra-
cine. Literary Gossip" is concerned
only with the wealth attained by a few
manufacturers of fustian. Lately I
saw a grown man reading Sully's Me
moirs,' in French, too, and like the an
cent mariner, II blessed him una
wares" so unusual was the spectacle
The classics Of all languages, as a lady
lately declared in print have become
"glorified school books"
Every one admits that this is the
condition of our intellectual affairs;
that is, as far as literature is concerned.
If evidence is desired, we might call
into court the author of "How to Write
for the Magazines" 1.-THE style most
in vogue remarks this literary expert,
is what iS known as the popular
style" rather "seif-evident remark"
as the dustman said when the cook
told him that he was no gentleman.
He who would embrace the popular
style must not indulge in fine work
which is above the head of the person
who spends his penny on Answers or
Pearson's." That person, that capital

Scientific and natural studies in the
rural schools of Minnesota are to be dis
placed by farming course. Professor
Hayes of the State Agricultural School
Is to outline series Of practical exper-
iments and observations to be made by
the children under the direction of their
elders on the farm. These experiments
will be adapted to each season of the
year, and will be home work for rural
pupils. Bulletins giving directions for
conducting the experiments, and for
studying the scientific principles of sue
cessful agriculture, will be prepared by
the Agricultural School and sent out by
the Department of Public instruction
to rural teachers. Prominent agricui-
turists will be engaged to lecture before
the summer schools for the teachers,
and an effort will be made to interest
the normal schools in the training Of

EIkhart, indiana.

according to the report, two methods
of preparation were employed. By
one process the mari and oil was
mixed in a wooden vessel, and the
liquid air gradually added until a stiff
paste was formed, which was packed
in paper cartridge shells covered with
asbestos.
By the other plan, the mixture of
mari and oil was put into the cart
ridge, which was enclosed In a lead
case with a layer of felt between,
and the liquid air then poured in until
the paste was completely saturated.
The cartridges prepared by both meth
DDS were safe and readily transporta.
BILE, and their explosive power tested
by firing at the bottom of deep holes
bored in rock The results showed
that while liquid air is an efficient ex-
plosive, it is far less effective than
dynamite, guncotton, explosive gela-
tine, or giant powder.
The conclusions Of the military ex-
perts were concisely as follows Both
methods of preparing the cartridges
were pronounced wasteful, and in con.
sequence Of the rapid evaporation of
the liquid air they must be used i'm
mediately after being prepared; be-
yond fifteen minutes the evaporation
will so affect the cartridge that 1t is
likely to miss fire and it's strength
cannot be even roughly guarateed. On
the other hand, the cartridges when
freshly prepared are powerful and
well adapted to coal and other mining
The net conclusion to be derived
from these and preceding experiments
in Europe is that. notwithstanding the
obvious advantages Of liquid air as an
explosive for mining purposes, the
rapid deterioration Of the cartridges
and their varying and uncertain
strength are obstacles so serious that
until they can be overcome, it's value
and application to that use will re.
main experimental and comparatively
limited.

FOUND USEFUL,
A Burglar Bombarded With Electric
Light Bulbs.


"Of all the outlandish weapons ever
employed in fight" said business
man of the South Side, 81 think
brought the most fantastic on record
into play one night last week.
my family are away on visit at
present, and l am keeping bachelor
hall out at the house. On the night
to which refer l was aroused about 3
a. IN. by noise somewhere in the re.
gion of the dining-room, and, think.
ing | had shut up the dog there,
jumped up very foolishly and came
down stairs In my night clothes, with.
out so much as pocket knife. When
/ opened the dining-room door I was
startled to see a big, rough-looking
man bending over the sideboard at
the far end Of the room, and after
he had stood there en- tableau for a
moment the fellow made a rush at
me. l leaped back into the hall and
glared around for a weapon. On a
table nearby were a dozen incan-
descent light bulbs, which l had
brought home to replace some that
had burned out, and purely by instinct
l grabbed one of them and threw it
at the burglar. 1t hit the door casing
close to his head, and, to my amaze
ment, exploded with a noise like a
young lyddite shell. | suppose it was
a still greater surprise to the other
fellow, for he let out yell and broke
for the rear, followed by a rapid-fire
bombardment of sixteen-candle-po power
incandescents, which l continued to
throw at him as long as he remained
in range. They smashed against the
furniture with series of clashes
that alarmed the whole neighborhood,
and l have been gathering up frag-
ments of broken glass ever since.
"The burglar must have thought
| was chasing him with hand gren-
ades. 1t was the first time | ever
knew that incandescents made such a
row when they broke. An electrician
tells me that it is caused by the air
rushing into the vacuum."-N. O.

To Withdraw Bans From Dancing

From the Tamaqua Courier.
The next general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church will be
cipline paragraph PAS, which prohibits
members from going to theatres and
horse races and from dancing and play
ing cards. Regardless of the fact that
the section referred to has always been
considered one of the most important
and the most eXacting rules in the book
OF discipline, yet it is said that a large
portion of the aggregate Methodist con-
gregation, including a portion of the
clergy, are in favor of striking out the
obnoxious paragraph.
The Objectionable paragraph is re-
pugnant because of the fact that al
though many pledge themselves to
obey its provisions, few abide by the
pledge taken. 1t is therefore question
able as to which is the most sinful-tak-
ing solemn pledge and violating it, or
attending horse race, playing cards,
going to the theatre or dancing. While
cards and horse racing may be consider
ed Objectionable, but few people see any
harm whatever in dancing and but little
in going to the theatre, providing of
course that the play is an unobjection-
able one. Every member of a church
has disinclination to place himself
under an obligation which he cannot
keep.
For years and years the prim and
staid Methodist has been subjected to
considerable criticism and have received
IA great amount of censure for their OBJ
lection to dancing, etc. The younger
generation in the church, who it is said
are largely in the majority, favor the
abolishing of the Objectionable rule, but
the staid old members are equally de-
termined that the paragraph referred
to shall still continue TO be part of
the church discipline.

home to look after my fences" Mr..
Mckinley, who is in Ohio this week,
said before leaving Washington that he
was going to ''look after repairs to my
house," which is slight deviation from
Sherman's words, but means the same
to the initiated. 1t was not mere
coincidence that the repairs upon Mr..
Mckinley's house, at Canton, should
require his personal attention during
the same week in which the Republican
state convention will be held at Colum-
bus.
Senator Wellington has formally left
the HannaMcKinley party, and made
this announcement: Il was opposed to
the permanent acquisition of the Philip
pines, and to the Is per cent duty on
Porto Rican imports to the United
States. This being my position, | do
not intend to support platform that is
against my convictions in such import
ant particulars. | do not intend to re-
main member of the Republican
national committee, nor to attend the
national convention" There are nu-
merous prominent Republicans in both
branches OF congress who believe Just
as Senator Wellington does, but whether
any of them will show that they have
the courage of their convictions by fol-
lowing his example, remains to be seen.
