Educated Men in Demand.

Never before was the call for trained
men so loud as now. They are in de-
mand everywhere. Not only in the pro-
fessions, but also in business houses,
manufacturing establishments and
even on the farm, they are in great de-
mand. The farmer who understands
chemistry, who is able to analyze the
forces of nature, to mix brains with
his soil, will be the great farmer of
the future. There is an increased de-
mand everywhere for college-educated
men. We find them occupying the best
positions in our insurance, banking,
manufacturing and transportation in
stitutions. Never before was the call
for literally educated men and women
so great as to-day.-Success.

Siberia Settled Largely by ExiIes.

Deportation to Siberia began as long
ago as 1891, and at the present moment
many of the principal towns are almost
entirely peopled by exiles who have
completed their terms OF Imprisonment,
and by their descendants. Now, how
ever, that Russia is intent upon the de-
Velopment of the country, they no long
er send criminals, but encourage and
aid the respectable peasant class to
emigrate, giving them pieces of land,
which they hold at nominal rent di-
rect from the Crown.-London Sphere,

Big Trees IN Danger Of BEING Loqqed.

Lumbermen are cutting down the big
trees of California. The finest of all,
the Calaveras grove, which has the big
gest trees, came into possession of a
lumberman last April. Some of these
trees are from 1000 to 5000 years old;
older than the pyramids and most of he
temples in Egypt. Congress can save
these groves by making National parks
of them, as an effort will be made to
have it done next winter. But it will
have to be done quickly if it is to sue
ceed. 1t comes near being sacrilege
to put these venerable monsters through
lumber s.-Harper's Weekly.
Possibly the reason why the Japan
csc are SO progressive is because they

Hops Grow Wild in English Counties.

1t is somewhat remarkable fact that
the hop, although only cultivated in a
few districts in a few English counties,
yet grown freely in wild condition IN
very many places. It is perennial
Towering in July and August, and to be
found in hedges and thickets. The
plant is only cultivated, for instance, in
the northeastern portions of Hamp-
shire, and about Petersfeld, and even
there it does not cover 5000 acres in
all. 1t grows and flourishes, however,
in wild state all over the county, in

Pessimists in the DAYS Of Jefferson.

The walls about the young men being
crowded out or opportunity being de-
MED them were just as prevalent in the
DAYS of their fathers and their grand
fathers. Such lamentations against the
Federalists and the "aristocrats" were
common in the times of Jefferson. 1t
was the popular complaint, for exam
pie, that men like Robert Morris were
enriching themselves at the expense of
the poor, that youth no longer had a
chance to compete with the favored few,
that the way to education was open only
to the t.=Philadelphia Bulletin.

TRAMP NUISANCE IN SIBERIA,
Years of transportation Have Deluged
the Land with Criminals.

the Land with Criminals.
Says Solomon, Russian director-in-
chief of prison administration, in The
independent: From 1907 until 1899
Siberia received from European
Russia S64,54 transported persons,
including their families. That is near
ly the sixth part of the actual 2opu-
lation of Siberia. If we confine our
selves to the last dozen years we shall
see that Siberia has received in that
space of time 100,5S2 transported per-
sons, of whom 95,S76 were men and
4706 We're women. OF the families Of
transported persons there We're 153
husbands, 1T556 wives and 10000 chill
dren. Siberia has thus received IN the
course of II years 159, ,191 individuals.
one-thirty of the total popula-
tion. If one takes into consideration
the number of the transported only
without their families we shall see
that during that period Siberia has
received for each 81 inhabitants a
criminal or man recognized as more
or less dangerous in the country of his
origin. These figures permit us to
draw certain important conclusions.
First-Transportation does not con-
tribute to the colonization of a coun-
try, owing to the great proponderance
of unmarried persons. Second-The
number of vicious elements introduced
into the country passes all reasonable
proportion. OF the number of tran
sportated males, only 1856 We're
married; the other 1892, or 81 1-3
per cent, We're unmarried.
These conclusions are completely
confirmed by a detailed study of the
conditions of transported persons. The
number of transported persons resid-
ing in Siberia in 1896 was 29S,574 or
nearly 100000 individuals of both
sexes. Half of these were criminals
condemned to transportation under the
criminal code, the other half under
administrative authority. But they
can hardly be distinguished one from
the other. The opprobrium of their
situation and the misery of their ex-
istence have reduced them to an alb
solutely uniform mass. The third Of
this mass, 100000 men, escape all con-
troll. The place of their residence is
unknown to the police. They steal on
the highways and in villages, they
beg and eXtort money in every way
possible. In the summer they bivouac
under the stars and conceal them
selves in the forests of Siberia; in the
winter they move toward the cities
and use every method to secure a
lodgment in the local prisons. The
second 100000 men are equally in
state of vagabondage, but they change
their residence to find work If they
have not lost the habit of work, and
If they preserve some spiritof honesty
they may succeed in establishing
themselves again; If not, they soon
augment the ranks of criminal vaga-
bonds. OF the 100000 who are left
about 10000 are cultivators of the
earth and furnish an element of order
1t is remarkable that this number cor
responds to the number of the
transported married persons. The
other 10000 are workmen. So long
as they are young and in good health
they gain their daily bread, but when
infirmity comes many of them take to
begging and often terminate their ex-
istence in prison, which they have
avoided until that time.

Elements had crept down the valley of

Maryland, and villages were beginning
to fringe the Great Lakes when the first
railroad from the East entered Chicago.
But the surveyor and the construction
gang had to provide means for moving
farmers in, and farm products out, be-

linked Connecticut to California.
Throughout the vast areas that they

He went to jail late in the afternoon,
and that very evening was elected
colonel. The next morning the newspa-
pers throughout the state published a
brief Associated Press dispatch from
San Francisco relating the fact that
James F. Smith had been elected colonel
of the First regiment. The fact that he
was also in Jail was omitted. A friend
of Mr.. Smith, who had gone to Napa the
day before saw the dispatch and fmme-

lied that his admiring friend did not
