The Farmers Part.

O. P. Austin, chief of the bureau OF
statistics of the new department OF
commerce and labor was the leadihs
speaker at farmers congress heio'
this week, at Niagara Falls and ne had
an imposing array of figures to STOW
that the American farmer holds the
commercial world in the hollow OF MS
hand. It does not take statlsticai
tables to prove that the farmer IS en-
joying big share of our natlonai
prosperity, but Mr.. Austlns sum-
mar;es are nevertheless interesting and
instructive.
He shows that in the three decades
between 1870 and 1900 the population
has increased 100 per cent. and agricul-
tural exports 100 per cent. At the
same time the tendency cityWard has
hold the increase in the number of peo-
nile engaged in agricultural pursuits to
on,v Il per cent, thus reducing the
farmers competition the while his
market is constantly broadening at
home and abroad. The United States
now produces 40 per cent. of the worlds
wheat supply, against 37.9 per cent in
1875. Notwithstanding the vastly in
creased outputs of Canada, India, Rus
sia, Siberia and other developing
wheat regions. This country also sup
plies three-fourths of the corn con-
sumed by mankind, which the peoples
of the older continents are more and
more being taught to eat, and three
fourths of the cotton to clothe man.
kind OF the provisions used in in
ternational commerce, the United
States supplies 40 per cent.
1t is gratifying to know that the
agricultural exploitation of the coun-
try has practically kept pace with its
great industrial development. and
that the commercial Invasion" of the
Old World by the hustling Yankee has
also been an agricultural one. Still,
we have barely scratched our natural
possibilities in this respect. The
South could readily double it's cotton
output, as could the West it's corn and
wheat output. The United States
could literally feed and clothe the
world, which it is fast coming to do.

Some lurid hazingestories are getting
into.the papers, this fall. No doubt
most Of them are exaggerated and
make the affairs look much different on
paper than they seemed to the par
ticipa,fts:S But hazing when it involves
rough usage, and indisnities and
huniiliatihg experiences for the victims,
is something which has no proper I ACE

leges that the old hazing days, OF

are no more in these institutions and
that whatever mild discipline the new
class undergoes in these times is hard

They admit women to the practice of
the law in New York, as they do in
most all the states, but it is another
story when it comes to admission to
the b.r association. The name of
ltosalie I.oew. a lawyer in actual prac-
tice and in good standing, has been on
the waiting list year and promises to
be there much longer unless she with
draws it. The chief objection, accord
ing to a New York paper, is that the
men want to smoke in the library of
the 3 association and to swear OCCASION
ally isnd to work there in their shirt
sleeves. All the more reason why the
Wonlen lawyers should be admitted to

Up in Winchester n. FL, this week
the Universalists of the country are
celebrating the centennial of the Win
chester profession of faith" The GEN.
tennial OF Universalism in this country
was observed generation ago, but this
profession" which marked a more re-
cent modification of belief is deemed
worthy of special recognition. Against
great hostility and in unpromising
quarters the Universalists have won
recognition and waxed numerous and
prosperous. The latest returns give the
number Of Universalist churches in
the country as about 800 and the num-
Der OF communicates as $4,000, but
these figures do not really measure the
size or influence of the denomination.
In its broader sense Universalism en-
Joys a much greater antiquity than is
indicated by these centennial celebra-
tons, and there is a great deal more OF
it in religious thought. today, than is
represented by the denomination itself.

A Suggestion to the Commissioners.
Gardner Reporter JournaD.
Perhaps the Rickers, who bought the
Chicago building and put it up at Po-
land Springs, would let the State have
the same building to use at st. Louis.
If these big fairs at which the State
must have building, are coming along
every few years, it might be good
idea to have one that can be stored
away somewhere and set up again when
the call comes for it. A log cabin
doesn't seem to be just the proper thing
to represent the state that furnishes
granite and slate for some of the prin-
cipal buildings in the country.
Maine at St. Louis.
portland Advertiser).
Now that the Legislature has appro-
priated $4,000 for Names representa-
ton at the Louisiana Exposition, the
commissioners are receiving many
kinds of advice as to the way to spend
it. 1t appears that the log cabin idea
has been abandoned for the reason that
it seemed likely, in the opinions of some
people, to present the erroneous idea
that Maine is backwoods state. But
owing to the limited appropriation the
building will of necessity be of cOmpar-
atively inexpensive construction. There
was merit in the log cabin idea from
the fact that while not costly, such a
building could still be made exceed
ingly attractive.
And SO, whatever form the building
takes, attractiveness should be borne in
mind. A plain, barn like structure
would misrepreSent the State in worse
degree than would log cabin. Moth
ing very elaborate or magnificent can
be expected from the expenditure of
the $4,000 or $4,000 which will be de-
voted to the structure. Some simple,
but INTELLECTUALLY unique and at
tractive plan can be adopted which
will be creditable to the State and
which will admirably serve the
purpose for which it is intended.
The question of expanding the re-
mainder of the, appropriation in
such a way as to bring about the
most and best results is likely to prove
even more difficult. m

"In my early boyhood." says an old
Maine man in the Portland Argus,
every funeral was in church. At the
close of the sermon the relatives
went tc the front to take their last
farewell of the departed which fare
we'll was usually a scene of wild and
uproarious wailings and lamentations
When these wailings were ended, the
entire congregation formed into line
and passed in review of the dead.
Altogether it was a disgusting occa-
sion of cheap pomp and fuss. The
| advance of civilization has improved
all that to its present fashion. Civ
iIization has more to do in CARRYING
further the needed Improvement.
Probably the child is now living who
will in his old age see the dead buried
in way that BELTS intelligent man
hood. The observing person of nv
| age who looks backward to the
changes within his time, can but
look forward with hope to future
