Out farmers ale now selling
abodt a billion dollars worth Of
products abroad, which is about 10
per cent. Of their total production.
For some unaccountable reason
our census and agricultural depart
ment staiisticlans have ncve given
the farmer credit for his work. The
census Of 1890 valued our farm
products at only $4,000, to7,4S4,
which Is too small by half. Our
iarm products to-day are worth
IS, 600. 900 900 or 50, 600 900, 600.
Even the census OF 1900 will con-
eede a value Of 5000, 600, 200.
But most statlsticians do no, con-
slider that the farmer and his family
consume anything themselves, while
Il is a fact that the American farm
er's family is the most bountiful
liver of any people on earth. Com
slider the meat and fowls, the butter
and eggs and milk aud cheese. the
potatoes and other vegetables, the
corn and wheat and rye and oats

go on to his table and into his barn,
and remember there are so, 600 900
who consume as much as the re-
naming $4,000, 900 of our people.
for the farmers table does no.
weigh or measure or count, but is
always filed with enough and to
spare. Consider all this and it will
be seer that the products of agri.
culture sold and consumed by the
farmers are near. if not quite, So.

Protection has not only given th,

masses, enabling them to consume

Georgia to Teach Temperance.

Nearly twenty years ago, largely through
the instrumentality of one devoted woman
aided by noble workers, especially the
Womans Christian Temperance Union,
the first Temperance Education law in the
world was enacted In Vermont. As State
after State il rapid succession placed SIM
liar laws upon it's statute books they were
represented in white on the map OF the
United States as an object lesson, while
the rest OF the Union was drawn in black.

to evangelization or missions - compared
with the vast sums devoted to education
or to general philanthropies. This, fact is
symptomatic OF the prevalent philosophy
OF life, and of the relation of the public

much. That apparently is the way men
reason, if they reason about the matter, at
all. And underlying all is conviction that
we promote Christianity in the most ef'
fective way when we contribute to the
advance of civilization. We believe that
before long Christian men will open theH

THE GREAT DESTROYER.
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMPERAMCE.

Tipping Women in All Classes-Bishop
Coleman Says Conditions in England
Are Even Worse Than Here-There is
Better Showing Among the Men.
The Right Rev. Leighton Coleman, Epis-
copal Bishop Of Delaware, who startled
his hearers in a mission address at New
Brunswick by the statement that there is
an alarming increase of lntemperance
among women along with a decrease OF
intemperance among men, repeated the
statement to a Treportee Of the New York
World. He said that his opinion had been
and observation of conditions in this coun.
try and abroad.
Bishop Coleman said that newspaper
hostile to his views set on foot an inquiry
in New York with q view of disproving
his charge. Committees Of impartial citi.
zens went to the various fashionable no..
tells and women's restaurants, taking notes
of the orders of women patrons. They
found that to take wines, cordials, even
whisky with ones meals was an almost in.
variable rule among the wealthy and fash.
ionable set. Not only this, but in SO.
called tea rooms intoxicants were served
to women who ordered them without even
the pretense of ordering meal.
"Intemperance among women, however"
said the Bishop, 'is not confined to the
women of the wealthy and fashionable
class. The use of stimulants, medicines,
bracers, tonics and all similar devices
serving as a mask for the liquor habit is
becoming more general among the middle
classes. In England conditions are worse
even than here, for the grocers' license
advanced by Mr.. Gladstone as temper
ance measure has had vastly different re-
suit.
Mr. Gladstone hoped that intemper-
ance would be decreased by making it pos.
sible for the middle class to secure the
liquor in small quantities from their gro
GERS instead of compelling them to 60 to
public-houses, where the temptation to
drink in excess would be much greater.
Instead of this, however, the groceI's IL
cense enables women to indulge the lrink
habit secretly. Whisky and gin are bought
at the groceries and are charged to the
husbands accounts as tea or cheese. The
evil is as prevalent among the aristocratic
as among the middle classes" As to the
decrease in drunkenness among men Bishop
Coleman said: mot 80 many years ago
there was tendency on the part of many
people to laugh at a drunken man; to see
something funny, or absurd, or ludicrous
in drunkenness, but nothing sinful or
wicked. Now, however, that men are
coming to consider drunkenness as some
thing to be ashamed Of, there is increas-
ing vigor to the resistance against all sorts
Of temptations to excess"
Bishop Coleman said that much of this
reform is due to the positive attitude
taken by all denominations of the Chris
tian church, especially the Episcopalians.

Essential to success.

When there is a market for the wares
of a business man or for the services
OF a professional man or agent, OF
when it is practicable 20 create a mar
ket, all that is needed to gain custom
is to offer reasonable terms and com
muncate the facts to the people. 1t is
the experience OF vast majority OF
successful men that the best and the
cheapest way to reach the peopl. is
through a newspaper which is read by
a majority Of the residents of the com.
munity. Indeed, it is essential to ad'
yertise in such newspaper.-Phila'

Advice of Mr.. Carnegie.

Andrew Carnegie was the chief speaker
at the celebration of the twenty-sixth an
niversary of the Railroad Branch OF the
Young Mems Christian Association, New
York City. The hall on the second floor
Of the building was filled 10 overhowing
with railroad men. Seats had been re-
served for them until just before the meet
ing opened, when many visiting ladies' en-
tered the hall and took them. The place
was literally packed. Mr.. Carnegie said:
Gentlemen, congratulate you of the
railroad world on oA,upy:ng the proud po-
sition, as believe, of the most temperate
body of employees in the world. You are
an example to the workingman in other
branches of the outspreading tree Of labor,
and your influence cannot fail to prove of
incalculable benefit. No rule that man
can adopt will bring greater reward than
this, to abstain from the use of alcohol as
beverage. A drinking man mas no place
in the railway system. Indeed, he should
have no place anywhere.
There is no room for antagolism upon
q railroad between employer and employe,
for your President and Superintendent do
not own the property any more than you
do therefore you are, as Just said, mem
bers of the same corps-you are all equally
the servants OF the company. There ls
another feature of cheering import in your
positions. The road to promotion is clear
and direct. You can all certify to that,
for I doubt not many of those now in au-
thority over you began as you did, in su.
bordinate positions, and have won their
way by merit, not by favor.
Fellow railroa9ers, there rests upon
you grave responsibilities; you have in
your keeping the lives of the public. l
need not say the travelling public, for with
vigilance, stanch courage, faithfu!ness to
duty, are demanded from you, and that
these are characteristic OF the force is tes-
tilted at recurring intervals and by the
position you have reached and occupy in
the estimation of your grateful fellow-cit-
liens"

Railroad Adopts q Baby.

The Choctaw Railroad will rear baby
which was found abandoned on one of its
cars east Of Ell Reno, Oklahoma. The child
was left in a seat in basket. which was
well supplied with warm clothing and a
nursing bottle filled with milk. On the
handle of the basket was note saying: -
have no parents; please take me to the
next station" The conductor telegraphed
to the company's headquarters, and was
tod to take the baby to the next station.
Later he received message ordering him
to retain possession of the infant, as the
road has decided to adopt it, raise and edu'
cate it. It is now in hospital in Wichita,
Kan. ...-.- ---.------

To Make Bicycle Theft Grand Larcen

To Make Bicycle Theft Grand Larceny
They used to hang men out West for
horse-stealing. Perhaps they do now,
sometimes. But the bicycle has taken
the place Of lie horse to a great ex.
tent. Now the price of bicycles has
come down so much that the theft of
these aids to locomotion constitute
simply petit larceny, the punishment
for which does not seem to fit the
crime Of stealing an article which is
as necessary as the horse was in the
olden days. So in Colorado they are
talking of revising the definitions Of
the grades Of the crime Of stealing. A
bill has been introduced in the Legis'
lature having for its purpose the grad
in of the crime according TO the util'
ity OF the stolen article. So the bill
will call the theft Of a bicycle grand
larceny and q felony, punishable hy

Care of Hot Water Bags.

Do not put boiling water into the
bag; fill the bag only about one-half
full or a little more, then lay it in
your lap before putting in the stopper,
and carefully press out the steam.
This makes the bag softer, as it is re.
lieved of the pressure the steam makes
if left IN it. When not using the bag
drain out the water, let it hang bottom
side up for little while, then take it
down and with the mouth blow a little
air into it, just enough to keep the in
side from coming together, as it will
often do If there is no air in it, in
which case the bag is quite sure to be
ruined in pulling it apart.
If you have bag that is stuck to-
gether put into it some hot water with
4 few drops Of ammonia, let it remain
few minutes. then with thin, dull
edged piece Of wood, try to separate the
inside very carefully. Never fold a
rubber bag after it has been once used.
A flannel bag for covering the rubber
bag is very useful.-Philadelphia Press.
