THE REPrnrIc,s RED HEART.

One man says that the heart Of the
nation is at the great capitol building
at Washington, another that it is in
Wall street another that it lies in the
Mississippi valley, with its marvellous
agriculture; another that its pulsations
can be most clearly discerned on thel
board of trade in Chicago, another that
it is found in our great educational in
situations. Each opinion is in a way
justified perhaps; but, gracefully con-
ceding the merit Of each claim, we still
think that this most vital organ may.
be best observed in a night ride from
Connellsyille to Pittsburg, where is dis.
closed Dantean panorama the like Of
which can be seen nowhere else on
earth. What the stocking rooms are to
the ocean greyhound-the place where
all the power and force are generated
to carry forward the magnificent ship
to her destination, alike Indifferent lS
wind or wave-is the weird and Titaa-
ic vision disclosed by the iron and coal
industries of Pittsburg and vicinity to
the country's splendid progress. The
miles of coke ovens aglow in the mid
night, fires which, like the altar fame
of heather sacrifice, never go out; blast
furnaces by the score belching forth
their lurid flames heavenward, the
blue and green sulphurous fires illumi-
Mating the landscape in most I'M
earthly manner; the great rolling mills
where human demons seize and
straighten the white hot rails, for
twenty miles roar, din and glaring
inferno where coal and coke and ore
and electricity work night and day
celebrating the power and facilities for
all the progress Of the republic-here is
great red heart of the nation. Muffle
these coke ovens, shut down these blast
furnaces, close these rolling mills, let
normal darkness once more brood
over Pittsburg, and it will signalize
the death of America.

INTENSIVE FARMING.

AS population increases in country
the farmer is compelled to adopt
more intensive method Of cultivating
his land. High priced land means
fewer acres for each man, and fewer
acres mean better work on them and
more and better crops. In Belgium,
France, Germany and to still greater
degree in China and Japan the small
farm and intensive agriculture may be
seen at their best. Under this system
more than one crop is and must be
raised in crop season; there are no
four rod roads burdened with a growth
Of wild hemp, sunflower, ragweed or
nettles running through or bounding
these farms; il trees are planted they
either bear fruit or nuts; no weeds
grow; fertilization is liberal and culti-
walton perfect and as sequence fol-
low the best Of crops. &.,6t

MAN,s pEsr FR1ENp.

We are asked how 1T is that bolt
Of electricity will do such wonderful
and extraordinary things in such an
infinitesimal period Of time-tear AZ
tree to slivers, make a wreck of a.
building, melt iron and copper and all
the long list of seemingly impossible
things which we know that it does.
The wisest men are puzzled as to this
natural force. While in almost univer-
sal use as the tractable servant OF
man, no man yet knows what 1t is. It
is said that the bolt which falls from
the summer cloud exercises for a frac.
ton of time SO brief that ordinary fgl
ures can give it no expression power
equal to that of 100000 horses, which
will give some explanation of the rex
markable work which it does. This
subtle, unknown and unknowable elel
ment which riffs the summer cloud
and illuminates hemisphere with ito
wild, riotous, untamed manifestations
is being surely conquered and made
the obedient and useful servant Of
man. Already it is made to cook q
dainty meal, move a mighty engine

oceans and over vast continents and
brings men face to face though a thous

THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG WAY,
There is a rare secret connected witk
the making of work common, every<
day hard work-a pleasure instead of
burden. So much of the work of lift
is done in the wrong way, in the hard
est way, and SO becomes of necessity
burden. Indifference to or lack Of
the knowledge Of the right and best
way to do things is largely what fila
the earth with walls over the tyranny,
of labor. To illustrate, man under
takes to NOW grass with dull scythe;
he tries to pillow his field with plow
which will not scour; he tries to work
too many acres; he milks his COWS in
a filthy yard or barn; he neglects to oil
up and runs with hot boxes the year
round. There is no sort of sense in do
ing these things this way. 1t is the
wrong, the burdepsome, way, and no
man living can take any pleasure in
his work SO done. This is the reason
why some people can accomplish So
much more and do so much bette{
work than others They have found ouf
the difference between the right ant
the wrong way Of doing work. a

waters for thirty-fve years. This tract
was covered with luxuriant crops Of

being buried under five to ten feet of
water and all the magnificent crop to-
tally destroyed,
