Back TO the Country D..

The country boy signs for
city life, and when he finally
reaches the goal, he begins to
wish himself again among the
birds and flowers With the
coming of old age he regards
himself lucky if he can get his
feet back on mother earth. The
strife is as great to acquire sui
ticient wealth to purchase land
on which to spend the declining
years as was the youthful s,rug.
gle to get a toothold in the city.
The smiling sky and the green
earth seen to be the natural
heritage of man and on one

the one who has had 4 tast in

life. Country Lite in America.

The Pension List.

The number Of pensioners up
on the rolls at the beginning Of
the new fiscal year on July l
had reached the astounding to
tai of 999, 446, a number little
short of the standing armies of
France and Germany combined.
The whole number of men upon
the rolls of the union army at
the beginning of 1865. the last
year of the war, war $50, 40. 1t
will be seen that the army of
pensioners is now greater than
the army in actual service at
its highest, There have been
some additions to the pension
lists from more recent service.
but there are few in comparison
with those that date from the
civil war
The growth OF the pension
list has gone on at rate increas-
ing with the lapse of time. A
year after the close Of the war,
July 1, 1866, the number was
1876, 722; the next year it was
1873, 1873, and so il grew in regu-
lar progression until, in the
course of twenty years it had
reached 365, 1888. At that time
it was thought that the maxi.
mum had been reached and that
the number of pensioners would
naturally diminish. But pen,
sioners are those of whom few
die and none resign. The lists
continued to expand. In 1895
there was an addition of 300,
900 names, bringing the total
to 876,068, and from that on
the increase proceeded more
equally to 993,714 in 1893 an6
thence to the figures given
above. 1t is expected that acts
passed by the last congress will
add 1C, 900 more names to the
list. The amount appropriated
for pensions is about $4,000,
600 annually, which is consid
era bly, more than one.fourth o.
all the expenditures of The
United States. Certainly this
republic has not been migrate

FertiIizing for Wheat.

Our exchanges give many in
stances of a better yield of
wheat on account of the use of
fertilizers, in some instances
being ten bushels per acre. Tha t
fertilizing in some instances is
less noticeable is owing to it
having been an unusal season
for the vigorous plant growth.
The threshiug figures show
that the yield of all small grain
is from 80 to so per cent great
er than predicted Under such
conditions the difference be-
tween the fertiIized and infer
tilted is not so apparent. The
benefit of fertilizer, is not on
ly to keep the soil from ex-
haustiou, but to give the pla Mt
vigor to stand the trials of the
winter season, and more resist
ance to insect devastation

Washington, Aug. 15.-The United

and send warship to keep her away

and the entire question of the owner

diplomacy, rather than by bullets.
The navy department has ordered
the Adams, in charge of Commander
Charles =. Fox, TO proceed to Wake
island and to the Midway islands,
for the purpose of ascertaining the
truth Of the report that the Japa-
nese have landed upon these posses
sions of the United States. with a
view of establishing claim of SOW

ment has owned the islands in ques-
ton for a good many years, although
but little attention has been paid to
them. With the development of com
merce and trade between the United
States and the orient. the islands
will attain new Importance as

The islands are practically barren
and can never be of any special value,

Washington, Aug. 15.-Some of the
eastern newspapers have discovered
an amusing mares nest in connection
with the appointment of Oliver Wen
dell Holmes to the supreme bench
and are suggesting that he may prove
to be an anti-imperialist and a radi-
cal one on questions Of federal tax
alton, and the like, and by his vote
oyerturn all that divided supreme
court has done with respect to the
new national questions Of the last
few years.
All who know the circumstances of
Mr.. Holmes selection for this inn
portant office are aware that his
general views on public issues were
among the matters most carefully
ascertained before the invitation was
extended to him. 1t is possible that
he may be an anti-imperialist in the
sense that he does not think it wise
for the United States to continue
the Philippines as a colony after the
Filipinos shall have been educated to
govern themselves and the tutelary
obligation Of the United States seems
no longer morally binding; but it
is perfectly safe to say that he be-
lieyes in the validity Of the title Of
the United States to the archipelago,
in the right of the United States to
hold the islands in the colonial re-
lation now existing, and in the right
and duty of this government to con-
tinue in charge until the Filipino re-
other words. he win be found to hold
substantially the same views as the
president himself on this and cog
nate subjects. If he renders opin-
ions in defiance of these WIS it
will be due to his conversion after
ascending to the bench.
