The Farm Better Than the City.

The Chicago Record Herald deplores
that the annual increase Of the popu-
lation of that city embraces several
thousand young men from the farms
who are the victims of the notion that
opportunity awaits them in the cities
alone. 1t is true that this opinion on
the part of So many young men in a
deluSiOn, but the young men them
selves are not responsible for it. They
read of this or that man who has risen
to some distinction in commercial pro-
feSSiOnal or political life that he 4'was
raised on a farm" This is said SO
frequently that, very naturally, the
young man on the farm comes to be-
lieve that success awaits him ia the
cities. In the illusion produced by
the glowing stories of the few the
young man loses sight of the failure
or the oblivion of the many who go to
the cities and are thereafter rarely
ever heard of. The nine-tenths find
that tley must struggle in crowded
labor market and accept wages that
will not secure them the good living
of the farm. II they marry they
must, for the most part, live in crowd
ed tenement houses if they 60 to the
largest cities. If man is more
successful he cannot hope for the
larger success of which he has read
and which has led him to the city.
So if all who 60 to the cities
from the farm would tell the plain
truth about the matter they would
confess that they would be better back
on the farms if they could rent and till
a small piece of land.-Indianapolis

A remarkable natural cave has heen
discovered in Montana, about fifty
miles east of Butte. A large river
with cataract u about 100 feet was
explored for distance of several miles
without discovering its source or out
let. A few articles of stone and
copper utensils and some bones, be-
lieved to be human bones, were also
discovered in of the large apartments
explored. There were other evidences
that at some time in a prehistoric
period the cave was used as habita-
tion. The present entrance to the
cave was made by some lime quarry
men at point 1000 feet above the
bed of the Jefferson river while
engaged in blasting rock. The FORM
ations of stalactite and other natural
decorations throughout the cave are
pronounced the most beautiful and
varied ever seen.

Subject for an ASYLUM.

a dispatch from Ottawa says in
quiry in official quarters in regard to
the reports from the west about the
Doukhobors elicitS the information
that there are a number of them,
probably a thousand in all, affected
with the religious mania. They are
going from village to village among
their own people and it is said they
are likely to arrange to meet in some
central place, probably at Yoakton, to
decide upon what they are going to
do. The .Doukhobors believe it to be
sin to hold domestic animals in re-
straint, and they have therefore
turned their cattle and horses loose
upon the prairie. They will not wear
leather shoes or any clothing produced
from animals and the men and women
have been yoking themselves to the
plow and wagon, A large number Of
the horses and cattle have been seized
by the government and sold at public
auction-the ammount realized, about
$4,000, will be used to take care Of
the fanatics when the winter sets in.

Coffee Zone DESTROYED.

A dispatch from San Francisco says
the entire coffee zone Of Guatemala
has been destroyed by flames and
smoke from the volcano Of Santa
Maria. Eruptions threaten the de-
struction of every living thing within
reach of the fumes and fire that pour
from the burning mountain, according
to a cable to Castle Bros, importers
of that city, received from their coffee
plantation in Guatemala. Only
meagre details are given.
''Last Monday" said Louis Hirsch,
of Castle Bros, I wired to our rep
resentative there, asking for news of
the eruption of Santa Maria, and last
Thursday night, l received in reply
this cablegram:
g Tt is true. Enormous losses;
probable volcanic eruption. Coffee.
zone destroyed. Our lives are in dan,
ger. Further reports will follow 80
''The coffee districts referred to-"
said Mr.. Hirsch, are the Costa Cusa
and Costa Grande. They are the fn-.
est plantations in the country. II
the coffee district is destroyed as the;
cable seems to indicate, one-third Of
the crop is most likely involved.
"That volcano Of Santa Maria is
located between Retalhulen and
Quezaltenango. The towns in the
neighborhood to be most likely de-
stroyed are San Felipe, Mazatenango
and Quezaltenango. The volcano has
been quiet for wears.
