Universal Peace.

1t is we'll for nations as we'll as in-
dividuals to be optimistic about a
matter which vitality affects the well
fare and happiness ofthe human race.
Justice Brewer expects war to be
abandoned because of the growing
moral sense of the world-because
men will become more humane as
they become more generally enlight-
ened. The Russian expert, M. de
Bloch, looks forward to a period OF
universal peace because war will be
too destructive for the nations to en-
gage in it. 1t matters little which
point Of view is the correct one if war
be finally abandoned. If universal
peace be established and maintained
in the centuries to come the result is
one over which the world may rejoice
without arguing whether it was due
to fear or to the development of hui
name instincts and the higher moral
sense.-BaltimOre Sun.

What Has Been Accomplished by the lntrOduc
ton of Agricultural Machinery.

Between 1855 and 1894 the i'm
provement in agricultural imple-
ments and machinery was such that
the time of human labor required to
produce q bushel of corn on the
average declined from four hours end
81 minutes to Al minutes, and The
cost of the labor declined from 35X
to 10h cents. The greatest advance
was made in the Smelling of the corn,
formerly done by hand. In this else
the machine operated by steam
shelled a bushel of corn a minute,
while in the old way the labor of one
man was required for 100 minutes to
do the same work. The amount of
human labor now required to pro-
duce a bushel of wheat from begin
ming to end is only ten minutes, while
in 1880 the time was three hours and
three minutes. During the inter al
the cost of labor required to prodEce
those results declined from liz cefts
to three and one third cents.
In 1880 heavy, clumsy pillow vas
used, the seed was sown by ha ID,
and was narrowed into the ground
by drawing bushes over it; the grain
was cut with sickles, hauled I'd a
barn, and threshed with fails; the
winnowing was done with a sheet It,
tached to rods, on which the grain
was placed with a shovel, and then
tossed up and down by two men m
til the wind had blown out the chaff.
In the year 1894 the ground vas
pIoughed and pulverized by a disk
pillow, the seed was sown with a
mechanical seeder drawn by horsts,
the reaping, thTeshing and sackibg
of the wheat we're done by a con
bined reaper and thresher drawn by
horses and then the wheat was ready
to haul to the granary.
In the case of the corn crop the
money measure of the saving humt 10
labor required to produceitin 1899 s
compared with it's production in the
old time manner was $523, 276, 64i !;
wheat, $79.194, S67; oats, $52 $780,
200; rye, 81, 40S, $50; barley, ST.
1913, 4S0; white potatoes, $780,!
$40; hay, $1O,O34 1858; total, $6SE-
471,827. And yet the improvh
machines by which this has been d.
complished have come into use Only
to limited extent. They are mail
" adapted only to use in farming ia
a large scale under the most favd-
able circumstances.
Comparing retail prices-the prices
paid by the farmers for machines and
implements-it is shown from tables
of comparison that in the case of one
manufacturer, surveys selling for
1926 in 1880 sold for $S5 in 1900;
top buggies, with price of 800 in
1860 and $50 in 1880, sold for $43
in 1900. The corn drills of 1880
sold Tor $12; those of 1890 for So.
Harrows declined from $15 in 1880
to $40 in 1890; plain float spring
tooth harrows from 500 to $40; disk
harrows from 1927 to $1S. Six-foot
Irvine binder harvesters were sold in
1880 for 1926 and in 1900 for 1920,
and the combined" harvester was
sold for $3.50 in 1880 as against sos
in 1900. The price of mowers in one
establishment declined from 500 in
1860 to $40 in 1900; in another
from $16O to $40, and in still an
other from $120 to $45 -Lesle's

The Morrisville News AND CITIZEN
is strong supporter of the prohibi-
tory law and presumably of it's appen-
dix, the town agency system. But
the local columns of the News AND
CITIZEN tells some funny tales out o.
school now and then. Here is one of
them: GA barrel of ale was sold off
at the agency pretty rapidly last
week. 1t came in quart bottles, in.
stead OF pints as heretofore, and was
billed at the same price. AS soon as
it became known that q quart of ale
could be had for ten cents, sickness
was great" 1t is the same old story.
IL makes no difference what the law
is in Hyde Park or in Ludlow. 1t is
the price of liquor that affects the
sale. Ii the mistake was made in bill
ing the ale, why wasn't it rectified be-
fore selling? Why was the agent SO
willing and anxious to get rid of it Z
Why doesn't the News AND CITIZEN
say right out that the Hyde Park
agency is simply a saloon2 That is
the truth.-LudioW Tribune.

The remarkable increase of 264 per
cent in Philippine imports of iron
and steel manufactures for 1900 over
those of the preceding year is result
not only of the open door but of the
increased stability of Philippine bust
ness interests under the American
government. That this country's
share of the trade is yet relatively
small as compared with that OF Eng
land and Germany may be explained
by the fact that the trade of those
countries, especially that of England,
has been long established there, and
that it has been vigorously advanced
while we have been busy with pacif-
cation and the organization of the
government.

The work of collecting and classify

The work of collecting and classify
ing the Liberal Arts exhibit for the
Pan-American Exposition is now well
under way and is in charge of Dr. Sc
lin II. Peabody, whose successful han
ding of the same division at the great
Columbian Exposition Of 1893 marks
him as the best qualified man on the
American continent for the discharge
of such task.
The exhibits of the Liberal Arts divi-
sion as we'll as those of other depart
ments will be concentrated and repre-
sentative rather than vast in extent
and exhaustive in scope. Most crafty
ing progress has been made since the
Worlds Fair at Chicago in methods of
education in the public schools, univer
sites and colleges of the United States
and other Pan-American countries. The
educational exhibit will give special
attention to exemplifying this great
progress and showing the present state
of our educational institutions. 1t is
the intention to have models prepared
representing the equipments Of schools,
colleges and universities. The exhibit
made by the United States in the Paris
exposition will be removed to Buffalo
for the Pan-American and will be sup
plemented with additional exhibits.
Closely related to the educational eI-
hibit will be those in social economy
and in hygiene and sanitation. Under
the head Of social economy will be in
cluded such subjects as charities and
correction, cooperative associations
and trades unions, apprenticeship and
child labor, protection Of workingmen
in factories and mines, workingmen's
dwellings, etc.
The division of sanitation and hygi-
enc is one of great practical impor-
tance, and great progress has been
made within a decade along this line.
Indeed it may perhaps be said that the
subject has become almost science in
itself, and certainly in its relations to
the daily life of the people its impor-
tance cannot be too much emphasized.
The exhibit at the an-American Ex-
position, which Is under the immediate
supervision of DR.. Jacob S. Otto, an au-
thority in this branch Of science, will
comprise such subjects as physical cul-
ture, and the apparatus used in various
institutions for this purpose-hospitals
and dispensaries. boards Of health-and
their functions, foods, theiT chemistry.

In no line Of breeding domestic ami

than in the poultry industry. and, while
the interest taken in the Live Stock Di-
vision of the Exposition by prospective
exhibitors Is very encouraging, the
poultrymen OF the United States and
Canada are manifesting an interest
that is truly phenomenal. The poultry
men in the past few years have seen
the industry double many times until
today it exceeds in value any single
farm crop. The annual sale Of eggs
