and that the SalyatiOnists will soon begin TO
colo"ize it on a large scale. which ne could not

NJ Menier, after he secured the place
PEELED the original inhabitants, some scores of
Newfoundland fishermen who had squatted
around its coast and whose eviction he ordered
because they would not subscribe to the auto
cratic regulations he framed and enforced. Then
he advertised in the French papers for settlers
from The Norman and Breton dales to replace
them offering bonuses of varying value to these.
according TO the period they would agree 10
main Anticosti.
Eut responses were few and unsatisfactory,
because the United States attracted the best
class of immigrants and his regulations were
too harsh for most of the French Hence it is
that owing to lack of settlers to turn to ac-
count the varied wealth of the region the bon
bon king is now abandoning his expensive and
disappointing whim.
1t would be diffiC ut to imagine any spot bet
ter suited than Anticosti for Salvation Army
jolo"y. The island is $50 miles long by so wide,
has OF 100000 acres, and possesses 500
miles of seacoast. 1t lies right athwart the en-
trance TO the st. Lawrence River, forming the
line Of division between the river and the gulf
and Il therefore dominates all the ocean borne
commerce passing through Canadas front door
Antioosti has two fine natural harbOrs. at
Ellis Bay. at the upper end of the island. and
second at Fox Bay. at its other extremity.

treat where he and his friends could spend their
summers, enjoying It's sporting ard scenic adj
vartages and not be m danger 81 an invasion By
other pleasure seekers.
To preserve the game in its forests and
streams NJ Menier devised a Draconian code of
rules for the government of his spacious princi-
paty. He required all residents to recognize
him as possessing sovereign powers. Everybody
entering the island to ply trade or other call
ing had TO obtain license from him or his
governor" such license being revocable at any
time and the holder being then liable to ex-

An Unsuitable Ship.

There is not the least reason to doubt
that the new North German Lloyd
steam ship Kaiser Wilhelm H., which
arrived at New York last week, is an
unsuitable" ship, through being
equipped with device that will from
the bridge almost automatically close
all of her twenty -four bulkhead doors
below the waterline in thirty seconds.
Besides this the ship has a double bot
tom extending her entire length and
divided into tWenty-six water-tight sec
tions. This proves that ship construc-
ton is fast reaching perfection, and
that human life is as safe at sea in one
of these invulnerable ships as it is in
the safest place on land. and much
safer than in navigating the streets of
New York, where 365 persons have met
their death by accident within year.
Before the advent of trolley cars and
automobiles pedestrians on land had a
shade the best of those who 60 down to
the sea in ships as regards safety, espe-
cially in winter; now the globe trotter"
embarks on a transatlantic liner with

and life insurance companies issue per-
mits to 60 beyond the sea free of extra
premium, including smile and hearty

GREAT POTATO YIELD.
Over 3O,OOO,OOO Bushels More Than Last
Year.

Over 30 1000, 900 Bushels More Than Last
Some development of rot in import
ant potato-producing States, such as
Wisconsin, Michigan and New York,
the American Agriculturist says, has
cut into the crop somewhat. Accord
ing to final returns, the potato crop of
the United States in 1904 apprOximates
2ss, 700, 600 bushels, compared with 1885,
600, 600 one year ago, and PIP, 900, 900 in
1902. The quality is generally good, al
though there are some complaints of
rather large, coarse tubers from a few
sections.
The authority named states that the
increase in the heavy producing sec
tions of the Northwest, compared with
last year, is very marked. Michigan,
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota to-
gether show something like $4,000, 600
bushels more potatoes than in 1908.
New York shows up with much the
same crop as last year, after taking &C.
count of the recent development of rot;
Pennsylvania and Ohio a slight de-
crease; while the gain in New England
over 1908 is substantial. owing chiefly
to the splendid crop produced in north
ern Maine.
Taking the country at large, the aver
age rate of yield per acre appears to be
something like 10 bushels beaver than
3 year ago.

make provision only for the grosser
types of idiocy and imbecility. In these
countries the slightly Predetermined
pupils are provided for only in special
day classes in the public schools. With
in few years similar classes have been
organized in connection with the pub.
I lie schools in several American cities,
and are now being conducted with great
, success. Many defective children, who
! now receive no training, can be placed
in these special classes. Feeble mind
ed children can be tolerated, but it is a
great responsibility to inaugurate any
plan on large scale which does not
withdraw the defective adults from the
community.
For many yeals New England has
Jagged behind the middle and western
States in enacting legislation for the
benefit and protection of the feeble
minded. There are good reasons for
the hope that new era is approaching.
In 1902 the State of New Hampshire
opened it's school for the feeble minded
at Laconia In Rhode Island an earnes
movement for the organization of a
State school and home is steadily gain
ing ground.
I'm this grand old State of Maine,
for several years past, the friends of
the feeble minded have strongly urged
the claim of this helpless class. This
conference bids God speed to the
efforts of the devoted and seif-sacritic
ing men and women who have labored
so earnestly and so well for the right
of the helpless, feeble minded children
and for the relief of grief stricken
mothers, unhappy homes and burdened
nelghborhoods of this State of Maine"

followed you shall hear later.

AROOSTOOK POTATO HOUSES.

The Bangor & ArOoStook railroad has
compiled list of the potato houses
along its line in ArooStook county
showing the size of the various build
ings and their capacity as well as their
owners. A peruSal of this list will show
what provision Aroostook county makes
for the storage of the great vegetable
wealth that is annually taken from her
soil. These potato houses are built in
manner to protect the tubers from
the rigorous climate until wanted
for shipment. If all these po-
! tato houses were placed end to end they
would have a total length of 1868
feet, and make building two and
one-half miles long. The POI houses
in this list have a total capacity
of 2,2SS,l lip bushels. If their contents
were shipped at one time 1857 cars
would be required to contain them,
meaning a train more than 81 miles
long, not to speak of the engines that
would be required to haul it. The ca
pacity of these houses does not repre-
sent anything like the total crop of the
potatoes raised in AroOstOOk annually.
Perhaps one-fourth of the potatoes are
put into the houses along the line of
the railroad and millions of bushels are
taken directly from the fields and ship
ped out of the State. A large part Of
the potatoes put into these houses are
not taken out until way along in the
spring and they are never taken out
until they are used for seed, for thou
sands of bushels are required to plant
the fields for another crop. There are
millions of bushels of potatoes stored
in cellars, and other millions are used
by the starch factories. These, together
with those that are shipped out in the
fall and those that are stored in cellars
and smaller bins take care of the rest
of the crop, so that there is usually
about one-fourth of the crop to he put
into the potato houses.

AN ENGLISHMAN'S IDEAL.

Alfred Mosely, the retired English
capitalist, who recently brought Com
mission of Educators from England to
this country to study the educational
system. made the statement that the
remarkable success of American bust
ness men is due to the public school
system. Mr. Mosely bases his belief,
not only upon his observation of educa-
tional methods, but also upon his ex-
perience of the success of American en-
gneers in South Africa. Because of the
skill and reSourcefulnesS displayed by
these engineers, he determined to have
a thorough study made of American in
dustries and educational methods for
the purpose of beneiiting his own
country With this end in view he first
sent over to the United States an Indus
trial Commission, consisting OF mem
beers of various British de-unions, and
later brought over the Educational
Commission, which included many Of
the leading educators in Great Britain.
Mr. Mosely has his own views and
Gently interviewed, at Dayton, O., he is
ment:
81 look to the future with some conf
dence. | believe that in the course of
time capital and labor will be brought
more closely together and will work
hand in hand with mutual advantage.
believe that in the course of time this
idea will be spread, and that it will
spread not only in this country and in
England, but to other parts of Europe,
and that then we shall get real solu-
ton Of the labor problem. We can not
all be Carnegies; we can not all be great
and successful men, but it does lie incur
power to help make the life of the
workingmen both instructive and pleas
ant.
The great problem of capital and la
Dor will have to be solved in the future.
My ideal is this: Nearly every man is
capable of doing fair and honest days
work, and when lie performs that work
he should be paid sufficient wages to en-
able him to have home with sufficient
room to live comfortably and keep the
sexes apart, sufficient healthful food, SUI
fficient clothes and good education for
his children. Then l believe it lays en-
tirely in the individuals power to prove
his position. But do not believe in the
state of things we have been having in
the old parts of the world, where a man
can only earn sufficient to keep body
and soul together. Those are the old
conditions, and they must pass away.
l hope shall live long enough to see a
considerable improvement in that re-
spect.'
