energetic enough to improve all oppor-
tunities, nor strong enough to recover
from all calalnities, and, lastly, there
is in nature silent force in the affairs
OF men, power and intelligence pre-
siding over the destinies of meu which
history itself only demonstrates and
does not explain, a Creator WHO rules
over all
After depicting in glowing terms the
wonderful extent and marvellous re-
sources Of our nation, the speaker
enumerated few good reasons why we
expect to escape what has seemed to be
the common fate of all nations, that Of
passing into oblivion. First, the char.
acter of our people is superior to those
of other countries; second, theogrowth
OF the century just closed would indi-
cate that we are here to stay; third, we
have worked out a number of success
full experiments in government which
were radical departures from the ideas
of the old world; fourth, study of our
history reveals many unique advan-
tages which we have possessed over all
other governments.
Relative to the superior character of
our people the speaker said that there
exists in our national life fundamen-
tai distinction between right and
wrong, and while other leading nations
possess this faculty the1 do not observe
it as we'll as we do ourselves. There is
no country which affords such educa-
tional advantages. The universities
OF Europe maintain hirher standard
OF education than do our institutions,
but none but the comparatively rich
are privileged to attend. Ia this coun-
try the young man who desires an edu-
cation needs only physical health.
Again we have q capacity for sober
second thought Some people cannot
think twice because they cannot think
once: others cannot think twice because
they can think only once, the first
thought exhausts them: while there
are others who can think twice but
their second thoughts are not sober.
With reference to the growth of the
past century Prof. Wjlcox cited large
number of Interesting statistics rela-
tive to our increase OF population. size
of cities, manufactured articles, etc
He said OF the four great sources Of
wealth, viz: agriculture, manufac-
lures, mining and grazing, we lead the
worl in the first and last, and in few
years would lead in all of them.
Nearly 81 of the great experiments
in government which we have under
taken have proven a success despite

BLATcHFoRD's CALF MEAL

BY keeping his calves growing fast
and thriving from the start until thev
are ready for the market. the farmer
gets much better returns than he does
any other kind of feeding. Many suo-
stitutes for milk have been tried, but
none as satisfactory as Blatchtord's
Calf Meal. This meal contains an
abundance OF flesh. fat. bone, blood and
tissue producing elements, and also all
the elements sof New Milk and Pure
Dried Milk. BY using Batchford's
Calf Meal the milk may be dispensed
with when the calf is four or five DAYS
old. For particulars telling fully of
this excellent meal call on G. D. Mil

THE FOOD VALUE OF RICE.
Not So Rich in Tissue-B Building Ele-
ments as Other Grains-What
the Doctors Say.

Certain wise doctors have late
ly been assuring the world that
the japanese are sure to be beat
en- by the Russians because they
live on rice, which is a food not at
all calculated to supply the vast
age upon the human body caused
by the hardships of a military
campaign, says the New York
Nail. This may be true, though
the world will wait and see. Curl
ously enough, at a time when the
psychologists are giving this warn
ing, the rice growers of the United
States have combined to teach to
the American people the assumed
food value of rice and to induce
the people, if they can, to consume
a great deal more of that grain
than they do.
As a matter of a~scertained fact,
rice is below all other grains pro
duced in commercial qualities in
America in its food value-below
wheat, maize, rye, oats, barley and
buckwheat. 1t is vastly poorer
than any of these in ash, in pro
tein, in fiber and in fat, and sur.
passes them only in starch. 1t is
not to be thought of for any west
ern people as a main article oil
food. However, it is not as
main article of food that it il
used in this country. Our diet is
fortunately, much more varied
than that Of the japanese. Rice
is employed in increasing guam
tity, and to advantage, as a pal
atable subsidiary article Of the ma
tiOnal diet. 1t is a peculiarity o
the human stomach that in add
I ton to the nutritive quality il
/ food it demands mere bulk. Cor
r c%entrated foods soon ruin the d.
%gestion. The stomach eagerl
calls for something to throw away
r Rice supplies this demand. A
a food which one may take a larg
E quantity Of without getting niue
q to eat it is, no doubt, filing a lonv
B felt want in this country.

A STEERING PRECURSOR.
Apparatus Applied to Steamships
Which Is Both Propeller and Rud-
der-only for Small Boats.

Unlike the ordinary steamship
the fish forces itself through the
water and alters its course
by means of the same organ, the
tail. Several inventors, though,
have tried to perform both func-
tons with one piece of apparatus,
The first application of the idea
at least of late years-was made
to the submarine. Some French
boats of that class have been pro.
vided with a peculiar joint in the
propeller shaft, just outside the
stern, so that the screw itself can
be swung from side to side. BY
changing the angle at which the
thrust is made against the water,
the boat is steered and rudders
are made unnecessary.
From a short report made to the
departmental commerce at Wash.
ingtOn from the American consul
at Birmingham, it would appear
that the same system has been
tried on boats which are meant to
travel on the surface only, like
naphtha launches. An English
firm is Introducing the invention,
but the latter is of French origin.
The "prOpulsor," as it is called,
can be applied to any boat already
in existence, If it is not too large.
How the connections are made is
not explained, but the consular
report says that it is possible to
dispense with the necessity of
boring a hole through the stern
post, and of supplying a perman-
ent propeller shaft and stufing
box. 1t can be attached to a boat
and removed from the same with
out any modification of the boat
itself. Anyone taking this "steer-
ing propulsor'to lake, riverorthc
seaside may attach it to any boat
he finds there that is within its
range of power. As the propeller
can be completely turned around,
a reverse action is given. The
Automotor Journal states that a
given number of these transfer
able PRECURSORS have been adopt.
ed by the navies of France, Russia
and Japan, and that a 12-hOrse.
power propulsion has been success
fully applied to a launch, which
towed a 9OO-ton canal barge with
a load of $50 tons of sand.
