Que la exploitation termine

Queremos signifcar que los mas in

tenemos el honor de fgurar.
Es precise que el ocioso arado surque

Ell rico grano que es hoy uno de nues-

va hemos probado que los extranje-
ros Sc llevan, cada afio, tres milloneS de
pesos, en- cambio de TN grano inferior,
al que nosotros podemos producer.
Pues 4 producirlo, defenderse; mas

nos decidimos a pedir a In TERRA gene

extranjeros.
La experienced nos ha demostrado
por desgracia, que es una verdad cuan-

Sin dejar de producer azl1car, cafe y

cultivos, que Ia TERRA da para TODD.
Y, ademas, la siembra del arroz no

La semilla es barata, infmo ell costo

POISONOUS POTATOES.
Those That Have sprouted or Shown Green Spots Should Not
 Be Cooked.

Potatoes that grow too near the sur face of the ground and are therefore, exposed to the rays of the sun become green in color. Sometimes only small green spot, other times the green may cover most of the potato. Such pota- toes are poisonous, says Medical Talk for the Household. sgz
 Tn 1892 and 1893 8 large section of the German army was poisoned by the use of such potatoes. The poison is known as salanin. an alkaloidal poison.
 This same poison appears In pota- toes that have been kept in a damp place and allowed to sprout. The sprouts of the potatoes by exposure to light. become slightly greenish, inn parting to the potato this poisonous ma terial.
 Housewives should be very careful about using such potatoes. A potato that has been sprouted or has green spots on it should be thrown away and not cooked at all. It is unfit for food. It is no economy to undertake to save such potatoes.

EDWARD AT GALWAY.

Queen Ren6itted Sentence of Pras-
 oner on the Spot.
 GALWAY, Ireland, July 31. = The king was presented with addresses by the district council and other bodies, to which he replied briefly. Their maj esties then boarded the royal yacht, which was lying in Galway bay. They will take train for Kenmare, near which place they will be the guests of Lord Lansdowne, secretary of state for foreign affairs, at his country seat, perreen, county of Kerry.
 At Recess, where their majesties stopped for. luncheon, an extraordinary incident occurred, A poor old woman approached the queeh with petition for the remission of the remainder of sentence of six months passed upon her husband. Inquiries proved that the mans character justified ielemency, and the queen, with the kings permis- sion, remitted the sentence on the spot. The surrounding crowd, learning what had occurred, cheered wildly.

COST OF TRAIN LUXURY.
Boom and Comfort for Passengers Materially Adds to the Ex~
 Dense of Travel.

It may be asked why the railway loco- motive does not pull passengers at a lower rate. Because. says the Engineer ing Magazine, it gives passengers so much room, comfort and hig speed that 1t has to carry ton of dead weight for each passenger. A locomotive weigh Sng 100 tons pulls, at 45 miles per hour, 12 cars weighing 500 tons and contain ing 76O people, weighing 50 tons, assum- ing the passengers to be men, women and children, but chiefly men, and to average 131 pounds each; 1,400 pounds of dead weight per passenger, when every seat is taken. But cars cannot average more than seven-tenths full.
 The railway carries free the passen- gers 160-pound trunk, and sends with him toilet rooms, heating stoves and bedrooms. These houses on wheels, and the locomotive which draws them, have to be made very heavy in order to get the great strength made necessary by high speed. If the railway could dis pense with these comforts and luxuries, and carry passengers packed closely in side and on top of loW-roofed. ram. shaclSle, unheated vehicles, like the old stage, and at slow speed, it could pull passengers at one-tenth to one-twen- tieth the price of the old stage.

FUTURE WAR IN AIR.
French War Minister>Accepts
 Offer of Aerial Ship.
FOR USE IN BATTLES ALOFT.
M. santos-Dumont Very Confident of Success, but stipulates That In- ventiOn Shall Not Be Used
 Awainst American RepubIica


 Success, but stipulates That In-
 ventiOn Shall Not Be Used
 Against American Republics.
 PARIS, July Silt would seem that the world is within measurable dis tance of the time when battles will be fought up in the clouds as we'll as on land and beneath the surface of tho sea.
 M. Santos Dumont has received vis- it at his balloon sheds in Neuilly of a delegation representing General An dre, the French minister of war, and composed of Major M. Hirschauer, ehief of the French military aeronau- tical department, and Lieutenant Colo nel Bourgeaux, sous chief of General Andres cabinet.
 These officers remained for many hours with M. Santos DumonE examin- ing his great balloon, No. 10, trying the sixty horse power motor, starting and stopping the immense propeller and studying every detail of the air ship with minute care and tireless patience.
 The opinion expressed by the repre- sentatives of the ministry of war was so unreservedly favorable that prac- tical test of a novel character-which, if successful, will be conclusive of the air ships military value-will take place very shortly. :.
 The test will consist of an attempt to leave Paris and enter one of the French frontier towns, Nancy or Bel ,foTG, the same day by air ship.
 M Santos Dumont's idea for this in- teresting experiment is to take train from Paris in the early morning witli his balloon, tubes of hydrogen gas to fill it and all the machinery and instru- ments in special wagon.
 At some station a short distance from, say, Nancy, the wagon w be unlocked from the train and score or so of soldiers and accompanying off, cers representing the ministry of war will unload the balloon and its appli- ances and transport it to the nearest available open space, where under M. Santos Dumont's directions the balloon will be inflated and prepared for the ascent.
 M. Santos Durpont estimates that within two hours from the time of leaving the train everything will be ready, and he will then make an at- tempt to fly over the town that may be selected for the experiment.

A FLAMING OIL SHIP.

Italian lark Durned In Staten Island
 Sound.
 NEW YORK, July 31.--After having been afire for four hours, the hull of the Italian bark Angeli Maria, laden with case oil, slowly burned to the wa ter's edge as she lay with her nose pushed ashore near Mariners Harbor, Staten Island sound Three men are said to have been burned, fatally when the fire began with an explosion.
 Ten tugboats fought the blaze, one of them a boat sent by the New York har- bor police, to whom request for aid was made. AS the cases that had con- tained the oil were destroyed by the heat the burning fluid began to spread over the water, and the tugs had to fight this floating fire to save them selves.
 Dense clouds of black smoke arose and nearly hid the blazing vessel from view, but as night came on the fire burned brilliantly and illuminated the scene 50 that 1t could be seen for miles around,
 The ship had just finished loading at Communipaw and was about ready to set sail when the explosion occurred She was cut loose at once and set adrift and later picked up by tugs and lowed to the upper bay.

USING ONES LEISURE.

There are some men and women whose work is so heavy and expressing that they have no leisure; but such people are relatively few in number, and are, as rule, at the head of great enterprises. Practically all young men and women have some hours for work which need not be devoted to ex- ercise and sleep-two things which ought never to be overlooked or neg lected. These unoccupied hours are of priceless worth if they are wisely used. They determine the value of the work ing hours because they educate man to use and enjoy what the working hours bring him, for a mans ability to enjoy success depends on his inteil1- gence, his tasks, and the variety of his interests. Many of the most successful business men have so many interests, Outide of their buiness, that they can always give themselves the rest of change of occupation, and can get pleasure and profit out of any form of leisure. They understand that, in or der to use wealth with judgment, and to get satisfaction and happiness out of it, man must grow rich in mind as fast as he grows rich in pocket.
 One of the most substantially suc- cessful men of the time recently said that in his boyhood he revolted against poverty, not because 1t denied him the luxuries of life, but because 1t curtail- ed his freedom, and he resolved that he would gain freedom at all costs. Hav- ing an unusually clear mind, this boy decided to get an education first, and become rich afterwards; he went through college and then made a for tune. His extraordinary influence and usefulness are largely due to the fact that he has kept his inward growth in line with his outward advancement.
 On the other hand, there are few more pathetic spectac1es than a man who has grown rich and remained tg- norant Every increase of his wealth only makes his inward poverty more apparent, and he gets out of his for tune only his housing, his clothing, his food and small sense of power.
 Now, 1t is the use of the leisure hour that equips a man to use wisely what the working hours bring him. The working hours develop his character if his principles are good, while they increase his fortune, but they do not give him broad views of life, knowl- edge and love of the best things. These are the gifts and fruits of the leisure hours, for the leisure hours constitute mans educational opportunity. No man who has few hours every week which can be used as he pleases should remain uneducated. Educaotion Is not matter of schools, colleges and uni versailles; these are valuable instru- ments and aids to education, but they are not so essential that the man who cannot command their privileges needs remain uneducated. Some men are better educated out of college than in it. All highly educated men, no mat ter how liberal their opportunities uay have been,, are self educated. The school and the college teach men bow to study and what tools to use, but, when they have done with the school and the college they are only at the beginning of education.

PASSING OF THE MOOSE.
Hugest of the Deer Family Going the Way of Animals of Pre-
 historic Ages.

Reports come from Minnesota that the moose is fast disappearing from the northern forests of that state; that the game wardens are absolutely unable to cope with the pothunters bent on eating their meat, tanning their hides, and sell ing their horns. The moose, driven from the forests by the swarms of mosquitoes, invade fearlessly the clearings of the settlers in their attempts to avoid their tiny foes, and fall easy victims to the firearms of men, says the Chicago Trib- une.
 The great animal, the hugest of the deer family, with his fiat shovel horns and proboscis like nose, is an anachron- ism. Like the hippopotamus and the great auk, he seems to belong to pre- historic age, an age when lizards 20 fathoms long swan in different seas from those we know to-day, and when mighty mastadons refreshed their hairy strength with foliage now buried thou sands of feet beneath the glacier ice of Alaska. Measuring in the 10000, ,000 year periods of geology, the moose has the look of the contemporary or immedi- ate successor of the 100 feet high swans, which were covered with tough black leather and fought the sea serpents.
 Of the oldentime kind of animals, the most have long since departed and the few and scattered remnants are quickly passing off the face of the earth in their train. A man, looking at a moose or rhinoceros, feels within him the instinct that those animals are not of this age; that they are suryivals from former con, whereas the sight of whitehall deer, or elk, or lio1s, or zebras. or gorillas raises no such emotions in his breast, though those beasts be equally wild and inaccessible.
 The moose is following after the buf- faloes which are grazing on the happy grounds where there is no hunting. May he find in his new abode interminable forests clad in low hanging foliage, that he need neither reach vainly above him for his nutriment nor painfully fall on his knees to get at the low lying green things; may he find the absence of mos- quitoes only equaled by the absence of man; and may neither bear nor wolves ever modest his young. The greatest of all deer and of all American game ani- mals Is almost gone.
