one half of the wages until the debt
is cancelled. Any laborer leaving
an employer without satisfactory
settlement of such a debt will be
imprisoned, fined and obliged to re-
turn to work it out. Consul Donald
son explains that the purpose OF
the law is to do away with the per-
nicious habit formerly in vogue of
advancing wages to laborers on a
contract which made the laborer
practically a slave until he had
settled his account, and to prevent
idleness and vice by obliging every
one without capital to be employed.
He adds that when first enacted
the law caused general consterna-
ton, but as it is being enforced,
everyone is becoming reconciled,
and the general effect seems to be
beneficial.

NICARAGUA LABOR LAW.

The new labor law in Nicaragua
Is said to be an equitable law, and
its workings are so far satisfactory.
This law defines a laborer as any
person, male or female, more than
sixteen years of age, who does not
possess a capital of at least 500
pesos, about 800 United States
currency. Every laborer must have
an employer who must give to his
employee booklet in which are reg
istered the name, age and general
description Of the employee and the
conditions of his contract. This
book is evidence of the good stand
ing of the employee whenever arrest
ed by the police on suspicion of be-
ing idle. Anyone without such evil
dence of employment is imprisoned
for twenty days and compelled to
labor on public works until an en-
ployer is found. Transfer of a la
borer from one employer to another
must be accompanied with trans
fer OF his registered booklet. If a
laborer desires money in advance.
the employer may lend it without
interest and be paid by retaining

THE SOUTH'S
GREAT EXPANSION.

When Jay in 1874 negotiated
with England the first commercial
treaty Of any consequence which
his country ever entered into, he
appears not to have been aware
that cotton was then, or ever would
be, an anticle of export of the
United States. Its production, too,
was Insignificant. For the past few
years its annual average production
has been about 100000 bales of
500 pounds each, and its annual
average expectation has been over
100000 bales. The worlds total
annual cotton product is about
100000 bales. In the amount of
Its cotton manufactures the South
has advanced from zero in the early
days to Z pei cent. of its immense
crop of to-day, as compared with 10
per cent. manufactured by the
Northern States, and the South is
gaining in a ratio double as fast as
the North.
An estimate just made is that the
income of the fifteen Southern
States in 1900 was $2,75O,OOO,000.
OF this stupendous amount $780,
100000 was from wheat, corn,
sugar, tobacco, and the rest of the
products of the soil exclusive of
cotton): 81 5OO,OOO,OOO from coal,
iron ore, and the other mining
products and the manufactures
thereof, and $750,0OO,OOO from
cotton and cotton manufactures. In
tho production of raw cotton the
South had an income in the past
twelve months $15O,OOO,0OO in
excess of that of the previous year.
The moral advancement of the
South keeps pace with its material
expansion. In that section more
than $4OO,OOO,OOO has been ex-
pended for educational purposes
since 1860, and the outlay these
days is greater than ever before.
There are twenty-four lecture
courses in Texas this winter, Mis-
sissippi has twenty-five, and the
other Southern States are not far
behind in this particular. The
South's progress-material social
and intellectual-in recent years
has been one of the marvels of the
age, and its future holds forth an
even brighter promise.-Leslie's

IT,. Carpenter of Kansas writes to the
Breeders Gazette: 'In reply to your
subscribers question about the feeding
of steers l will say that have ground
cob and all and like it very much. but
the cobs l think would save very little
roughage. Our people here shell all
their corn for market and grind most
all shelled corn. | would not advise
grinding the cobs after they are six
months old; they become too dry and
woody. AS for oilmeal. 1t does not pay
to feed more than three pounds per
head per day. as the expense will over
balance the gain. Ii can buy it for
$50 per ton or less feed three pounds;
IL have to pay over $25 per ton feed
less. AS for wheat middlings. l do not
think much Of them. would rather
have sixty pounds of ground wheat
than 100 pounds OF wheat middlings.
They bear the same relation to ground
wheat that skimmilk bears to milk
fresh from the cow.
IF am feeding drove OF well bred
toppy steers that are capable OF taking
on from 90 to 1O0 pounds per month
per head and will sell for cents or
better when finished l can afford to
feed ground wheat and oiImeal quite
freely. but IL they are only common
butcher stuff / feed them as cheaply
as ! can and let them go. In many
different ways We should use Judgment
in feeding. as 1t is very easy to pay
out more money than we take I'm.
Neither wheat nor corn should be
ground too fine: the cattle like it best

Made Immune From Tuberculosis.
DR.. Leonard Pearson OF the Univer-
Stty of Pennsylvania announced that
experiments covering a period OF more
than two years had proved conclusive
~ that cattle may be rendered immune
from tuberculosis by vaccinating. The
experiments. DR.. Pearson stated. were
conducted by DR.. s. 81. Gilliland and
himself. The vaccination consisted OF
injecting into the vein OF the animal a
small quantity OF q suspension OF tu-
bercle baciIli nonvirulent OF cattle.
This procedure was repeated several
times with gradually ascending guam
titles. The immediate effect was to
produce passing fever which did not
seriously annoy the animal.
To prove the efficacy OF this treat
ment four healthy animals were Sc
cured and two ware vacciRated. Then
the four were in0cuiat0d with vtfulent
tubercle bacIlla. At the expiration of
nearly q year the inoculated cattle
were killed. The two animals that had
been vaccinated were perfectly sound.
while the unvaccinated animals were
extensively tubercular.

"AIice of Old Vincennes."

The coming engagement of Gertrude
Coghlan in Alice Of Old Vincennes"
at the Opera House on Thursday even
ing April 2, will be one of the most
delightful events of the theatrical sea-
son. The late Maurice Thompson
wrote highly interesting novel of life
in the Indiana of Revolutionary days,
and the character of the patriotic hero
inc, Alice Rousillon, who so pluckily
saved the old town of Vincennes from
the British, is one that has a strong
measure of romantic interest. The
adaptor, Edward E. Rose, has chosen
the more melodramatic episodes in
making the play and besides accen-
tuating the patriotic spirit, notably
that in which Alice fashions the. first
American flag which was ever swung
over Eincennes, he has made the evil
designs of the British Colonel, Hamil-
ton, upon Alice, 81 leading motive.
The scene in which Alice defends her
honor with the sword of an English
trooper and, while saving herself from
Hamilton, gives the signal for the at
tack of the American column upon the
town, is the melodramatic climax of
the play, and it strikes the keynote of
the entire action.
The seat sale will open this morning
at 10 o'clock.

sway Down East" Tonight.

Way Down East" which is to be
at the Opera House tonight, is probably
the only play that has been openly en-
dorsed by the clergy. A good many
ministers, drawn to the play by re-
ports brought to their ears concerning
it. during recent run at the fremont
Street Theatre, Boston. Some of them
have taken pains to write to Mr.. Brady
conveying their views in such terms of
laudation that he is naturally proud
and elated over the following letter
which was received by him:
William Brady, Esq,
Dear Sir: Your invitation to wit
ness a presentation of Way Down
East" was duly received. 1 take pleas
ure in thanking you very kindly for
the courtesy. In accordance With
your invitation, l last evening wit
messed the play, and my only regret is
that circumstances prevented Mrs.
Clement from accompanying me.
Way Down East" is a strong pres
entatio1 of moral truth. 1t can scarce
ly fail to teach to every thinking wit
ness the injustice of that standard of
morals which calls in question the sex,
rather than the person, of the trans
gressor. The tone of the play is pure
and sweet, and shows the God likeness
of humanity when at it's best. l would
be glad if every member of my con-
gregation would see the play and
might. at the rising of the curtain, be
to learn it's lessons against
gossip, meddling and premature judg-
ment. l am a stronger man than be-
fore l saw it. Again thanking you for
your hospitality, remain,
Yours truly,
Rev. L. M. CLEMENTS,
Pastor of First Universalist Church,
Canton, Mass.
