TEMPERANCE BEARING FRUIT.

Mrs. Mary II. Hunt, superintendent
for the Worlds and National Woman's

on temperance and industry, that has
lately appeared IN Belgian, French and

Meyhoffer OF Brussels. who is said TO

A LESSON FROM DENMARK.

Attention is called, by a writer In the
Boston Transcript to the remarkable
growth OF the exports Of the little king
dom Of Denmark. Although the coun-
try Is considerably smaller In size than
The state Of New York, II has risen al
most to the dignity OF competitor
with the United states IN a line, which
IL particularly strong in this country,
Viz, the export Of pork products.
What is specially interesting in this
connection is the fact that the results
achieved ~ the Danish people are due
10 intelligent cooperation. There are
in the country no less than twenty-five
cooperative slaughter houses. And CO.
operation is the principle on which nu-
merous other lines Of industry are con.
Quoted The best methods are con-
stantly studied and adopted. All prac-
ticol modern Improvements are made
Market conditions are noted. New land
has been reclaimed by government aid
and cooperative efforts. BY drainage,
fertilization and forestry, heath morass
and waste land have been reclaimed
and changed into prosperous. though
small, farms.
The United States has still immense
resources in land that should be made
productive. We are earnestly talking
of irrigation from government built
reservoirs, as well as Of scientific for
estry. In no place, perhaps can such
modern enterprises be studied to better
advantage than in Denmark There a
marvellous productiyeness has been
produced within narrow limits There
the experimental stage has been passed,
and the results are commencing to at
tract attention among the great nations
OF the world.

Although the sultan has had no SYM

French claims, he has persisted IN his
stubborn attitude. Possibly there Is
considerable TO be said for Turkey in
the premises, but, so far as can be
learned, II is sheer case OF evadng

had an experience in the missionary
claims which showed how deliberately
procrastinating the Turk is In paying
his debts. Only pressure Of some tam
