REPUBLICAN GAINS IN ARKANSAS

NIcIlNcl INCpupliSalsJ
Democrats who have been twisting
the Vermont and Maine election figures
in every conceivable way, in the en-
deavor to extract comfort therefrom,
will find no consolation if they turn
from New England and look at the Off
cial returns from the rock-ribbed DEM
ocratic state of Arkansas.
The official returns nave just been an
nounced, and they show that the Re
publicans made phenomenal gains in
the state, while the Democrats practi-
cally stood still, despite the fact that
the Democratic gubernatorial candi-
date, jefferson Davis, bore a name that
was sufficient to bring out all the old
line Democratic voters and enthusiasm
For governor, Davis secured $685.

only 81 per cent greater than in 1896
while the Republican vote was 1875 pei
CEN greater than in 1896, and 47.9 pei

list vote was 5 per cent less than in
1898, and IA per cent less than in 1896.

The powers have been %wrangling long
enough over the Chinese question to
give the dowager empress, Prince Tuan
and their advisers new courage to put
on a bold front. The dilatory and
gentle policy in dealing with those re-
sponsibIe for the Boxer outrages will
probably result in more bloodshed and
the expenditure of greater treasures
than thus far have been spent.

Emperor Williams policy in China is
said to be delay in order to give Count
Waldersee a chance to win u battle. A
motive of that kind should be rewarded
by fate with a singing rebuke in the
shape Of a defeat Of the count and his
hosts by q horde Of undisciplined Chi
nese. 1t might still further delay peace
negotiations, butIhe world would gladly
stand It for the lesson 1t would be to sell

The interest in the political campaign
is so great that not only every move
ment of President Mckinley and Col

the telegraph, but the reporters and
correspondents also keep track of every

ator Hanna, Senator Jones and other
political leaders. There is no sign of
apathy this year and that augnrs well

The faint that attaches to the idea of
militarism comes down to US from ages
when armies were made up of free
companies" and of mercenaries.
The assembling and the peaceful dis
solution of the great armies of our civil
war emphasized the difference, and
have been, at the same time, an i'm
pressive object lesson for the world.
In the old world, probably, there Is
still some survival from the old unbal-
anced days. In this country there has
never been anything Of it, and there Is
none of 1t now.
There is not the faintest indication
that there ever can be anything of it.
There Is nothing in American institu-
tons to foster It. There Is everything
in them to discourage 1t.
This strange. elevating effect of the
national uniform and the national col
ors, on character not before considered
trustworthy, is one of the signal proofs
of the metamorphosis in the military
profession itself.

GROWING WOOD PULP.
to BE Worthy Of Serious Thought
and COnside ration.

A few days ago cut silver pop
lar which had been planted for orna-
mental purposes in the spring of 1889,
and which had grown nearly 10 inches
in diameter foot above the ground,
and probably contains cord of wood.
The tree became nuisance where it
stood, and so it had to come down.
But it made me think of the possible
ties of growing such trees for CONNER
cial purposes. Poplar is being much
used for paper-making. How many
years will it take at the present rate
of using the native .poplars for this
purpose alone before the natural sup
ply will be exhausted2 Possibly we
may be abe to find other materials
for paper-making, such as cornstalks,
ETC., but I would feel pretty safe to
predict ready sale of all poplar wood
that one could grow for the next 100
years. 1 do not know what price pa
per-makers have to pay a cord for the
wood they use. But think how quickly
one could produce big lot of poplar
wood. The tree grows marvelously
fast. In ten years from planting you
would have quite good forest, and
even before that time much of the
wood could be utilized for various pur-
poses. as the trees could be set quite
thickly at the start and gradually
thinned out. Trees can be cheaply pro-
cured, too. I only offer this as a sug-
gestion.-Farm and Fireside.

PERMANENT PASTURES.
To Keep Them i'm Good Condition I,
PROBLEM That Has Pushed
Many Farmers.

Probably the easiest way to keep a
permanent pasture in good condition
is to stock it hard enough so that
the grass will be eaten before it
throws up seed-stock or becomes
hard and woody, and then give extra
feed at the barn 20 that the animals
will return at least as much fertility
to the soil as the grass takes from
it. OF course manure or fertilizer
may be carried out, and spread on
the pasture, but that costs money,
and many farmers are often at a
loss to obtain fertilizing elements
enough for their moving lands and
cultivated fields. If they buy feed to
use in summer when cattle are in the
pasture, they: hops. to and usually do
get enough in the way of growth, fat
or milk production to pay for it, and
look upon the increased quantity and
extra quality Of the manure heap as
an extra profit. In this matter of
overstockings the pasture it is best
done and produces best results where
there are two pastures, so that the
animals can be changed from one to-
the other about once week, or as
often DIS the feed is eaten down
smooth. This helps to prevent them
from gnawing SO closely as to de-
stroy the roots, which they may do
in some favorite spot il they are kept
too long in one pasture. Midland

the additional one that linen and cot
ton are poor conductors of heat.
Take a globe of copper and draw
piece of cloth tightly over it, so that
there is not wrinkle at the top. If
the linen or cotton is closely woven,
the trick is all the more certain. Then
holding the clothing tightly in place
you can safely put glowing coal on
top of the cloth, and while it burns
fiercely the cloth will not even be
scorched. The reason is that the great
conductivity of the copper draws the
heat of the coal before it can burn
the cloth.
Do not try this experiment with a
good handkerchief first, for if the cloth
is not tightly drawn it may burn; but
take some worthless piece of linen or
muslin, and after you are certain of
your experiment you can astonish your
friends who do not know the secret

times smack your lips at seeing him
eat his banana in his own way. This
is how he does it: -
First, he goes to the rushes, and,
diving down, bites off the biggest one
close to the bottom, so as to save the
soft, white part, that grows under wa.
ter. Then he lows it to his favorite
eating place. This is sometimes the
top of bog, sometimes fiat rock on
the shore, sometimes a stranded. log;
but, wherever it is, he likes to eat in
that one place, and always goes there
when he is not too far away, or toe
hungry to wait.
Crawling out to his table, he cuts
off a piece of the stump of his rush
and sits up straight, holding it in his
fore paws. Then he peels it carefully
pulling off strip after strip of the QUITE,
husk with his teeth, till only the soft
white, luscious pith remains. This h;
devours grtedily, holding it in hispaw.

piece, if the rush is big one; or swims
and gets another, which he treats III
