The very meanest thing we have seen about Ben
oallnger appears in the Scranton Journal, which
quotes him as saying, "Garst has did too much
tor me-" We have heard Ben accused of many
things and he seems to have taken the accusations
quite calmly; however, if the charge of numbering
the Kings English as made by the ournal is not
true, he should protect his character by commenc-
ing suit for libel. Much of what they say about
Ben may be true but cannot believe that he ever
said sshas did,

One of the most striking items
in the Sunday Worlds news col
umns was the statement that rs
thousand tons of agricultural
machinery are going out of New
York and other Eastern ports
within the next few days. To
Southern Russia alone 20 thous-
and tons of this total, vulued at
one and one half million dollars
are going on three steamers of
the Black Sea line.
This is solid proof that Amer
lean farming machinery made of
iron and steel has invaded the
markets of the world and cap
tured them against the utmost
efforts of their only serious COM
petitors-the German and Brit
ish makers, A leading export
agent tells The World that Amer
lean shipments of this class of
goods for 1901 promise to exceed
in value those of last year by
fully one-third, so that not less
than Fl million dollars worth of
them will be exported within the
next twelve months. They are
not going to Russia alone, but to
all agricultural countries. With
in the next month the first ship
ment to Algeria will be made
from this port, and large orders
from Greece and Siberia are be-
ing filled.
All this is gratifying news,
and at the same time it demol-
ishes the commercial fantasy
that "trade follows the flag"
Russia, Siberia, Greece and AL
giers are not under our flag, yet
our export trade with them in
farming machinery is expanding
at much more rapid rate than
with the Philippines. 1t also
demonstrates that the Ding1ey
tariff to protect" our manufac-
turers of farming machinery
against foreign competition no
longer serves any purpose ex-
cept to compel American farm
ers to pay much higher prices
for their moving, reaping and
binding machines than the trusts
are selling them for to Russians,
Greeks and Algerians.-N. Y.

Tho Iri 2. Hicks 1901 AInarac.

Whatever may be said of the sci
entific causes upon which the Rev.
Irl r. Hicks bases his yearly fore
casts of storm and weather, it is a
remarkable fact that specific warn
ing of every great storm, food, cold
wave and drouth, have been plainly
printed in his now famous Almanac
for many years. The latest startling
proof of this fact was the destruction
of Galveston, Texas, on the very
day named by Prof. Hicks in his
1900 Almanac, as one of disaster by
storm along the gulf coasts. The
1901 Almanac, by far the finest,
most complete and beautiful yet
published, is now ready. This re-
markable book of nearly two hun
dred pages, splendidly illustrated
with charts and half-tone engravings
goes as a premium to every sub
scriber who pays one dollar a year
for Prof. Hicks journal, Word and
Works. The Almanac alone is sent
prepaid for only 2sc. Order from

What will the population of the
United States be at the close of
the century? is question which
continues to interest the expert
statisticians. The latest esti-
mate is made by Mr.. Robert Por-
ter, who superintended the elev-
enth census, and who says that
at ~ per cent. per annum in
crease-which is the normal rate
for a healthy country under fav-
oring material conditions-we
ought to be a nation of 300, 900,
600 in the year 1000.
In the earlier decades of our
history we multiplied our num-
bers, without much aid from i'm.
migration, at a much faster rate
than n per cent. year. The
last two censuses have shown
however, a marked and progress.
i've decline in our birth-rate
Marriages are much fewer in
numb Der and as rule are being
made later in life than they were
in the period from 1850 to 1880
The average city family of 1870
80 included five children, while
to-day an average of fourchildren
only is maintained.
What our numbers will be a
hundred years hence depends
very largely on whether still lat
err marriages and still smaller
families shall become the rule as
the intervening decades pass, OF
whether the pendulum will swing
back again in the other direction
Whether European countries will
send us nearly 20,000,000 immi
grants in the present century, as
they did in the last, is another
doubtful element in the calcula
tion.-N. Y. World.

The rapid increase in member.

years, has aroused the jealousy
of several other societies. They
are now vigorously attacking the
Woodmen because the member
ship voted last December against
the establishment of a reserve
fund. They claim the Woodman

not provide reserve for the flu
ture. All this unfriendly criti-
cism doesn't seem to be disturb

idenced by the fact that last year
they made a net gain of over 119,
600 members and 1896 local camps

cloth can be used and velveteen in
place of the velvet, or red brOadclOth
or flannel can replace the velvet. Too
much red. however, is not so effective
as the mere touches indicated in this
costume.
In making your pedestrian skirt be
sure to give it the stitched and tailor
finish. otherwise, it will have the ap-
pearance of one of your discarded and
longer gowns cut off or shrunken, to do
duty as pedestrian skirt. Be careful
to have it just the right length. neither
too long nor too short, and see that it is
securely and we'll sewed with COrticelli
Spool Silk. Golf cloth comes from so
to 81 inches wide, and costs from S1.5O
to $3.50 per yard.
Velvet enters largely into the trim
mings of all winter gowns, and many
costumes are made entirely of this
beautiful material. The illustration
on this page represents a gorgeous cos
tune of golden brown velvet, orna-
mented with fancy gold braid and
Renaissance lace. The skirt is tucked
in clusters to within a few inches of
the hem. Notice that the sleeves are
of the popular style, and that the
bodice is made with a broad shoulder
collar and lace guimpe. Nelvets come
from Is to 26 inches in width, and cost
from 81 to So per yard in colors, and
from 81 to 81 per Yard in black. The
fast pile velvets come from s1.25 per
yard upward. All silk velvets begin at
81 per yard. Miroir velvets come from
$3.50 to S. per yard, and plain panne
velvets from 80 to So.

Gems have come once more to the front,

Skirts are undoubtedly shorter, for
which mankind, at least is duly CRATE
full. Asfor woman, she does not care
particularly, SO long as she,knows that
she is gowned according to the mode,
although she of course appreciates the
convenience and freedom of the short
skirt. The usual masculine TRADE,
with which we have all become SO
familiar in the daily newspapers and
elsewhere; against the ''disease breed
ing and microbe-carrying long skirts
of women" must now find some other
subject upon which to spend undOubt-
cd elOQuence. Some other cause for
