Instead of prosperity came disaster
The tariff fostered high prices, begot
extravaganza and speculation. Lands
advanced to unheard of prices, far be-
yond their true value, where it was
impossible for the owner to produce
enough to pay interest on the invest
mentS. The banks under Shaw's eX-
hilarating promise of continued high
prices loaned to the land and stock
spectators on boom estimates of VAL
ueS and those that are able are still
paying interest. Other bankers specu-
lated with their customers money;
some of them have paid the forfeit
with their lives. Secretary Shaw is
still talking high prices and prosperi-
ty and is, as the leading member Of
RooSevelt'S cabinet, TO stump the
country for the republican ticket.
Stand pat is his slogan and prices will
still advance and the republican tariff
is panic proof, all you voters have TO
do is to 'let we'll enough alone"-that

DUTCH COTTON CULTURE.

Consul Pitcairn. The Dutch government
is reported to have promised its support
and assistance. \ report recently pub

Surinam containing Information on the

Experiments in the culture of cotton
have been made on the island of Java
also. two different species having been
planted. of which one is domestic and
the other was imported from the United
States in 1861. The latter is said to have
a longer staple than the former The
exports Of cotton from the Dutch East
Indies in the year 190 amounted to $500
tons. of which almost one-half was
of Javanese growth. The administra-
ton OF the residency Of Samarang, the
chief center Of the cotton culture, is
promoting and protecting the interests
of the cotton planters in every respect.
The government has placed at the dis
posal of the said administration the
sum of S2,416. to be used as loans and
Announcements to the native population
for improvements and extension of the
cotton culture.

The "kelep" does not belong, how
ever, to any such category. 1t is a pred
aceous or hunting ant. which very sell
dom stings except to paralyze its prey
and thus render the game easier to
capture and carry of; but at other
times It has no ipclination to sting and
does so only when actually seized or
injured. Tee sting, however, is too
small and weak to penetrate the skin
of the inside of the hand.
If accidentally squeezed between the
fingers or. caught under ones collar a
'kelep' may be able to sting, but the
wound smarts, in most people, for only
a few minutes.
They do not crush or chew their food
and are apparently unable to eat any
thing except liquids or substances soft
enough to be Tapped up, as it were, by
their tongues. While the insects are
feeding their jaws are usually opened
wide as though to get them out of the

strong homing instinct of the ants
would have made IL safe to release
them in the plantations for study, even
if their other habits had been less

coming bewildered under the strange con-

A TOWNS SCHOOLS.
They Should Be Perfectly Sanitary,
 Clean, Light and Wholesome.

Clean, Light and Wholesome.
 While public schools cannot be made palatial there ought to be no reason why sufficient money cannot be secured to make them wholesome and free from defects likely to affect the health of the scholars. The health of the chil- dren is T matter that should never be overlooked. If necessary to this end the school board would better curtail expenses for studies of questionable utility and apply money thus saved to the more urgent purpose of making the schoolhouses perfectly sanitary, well lighted and clean.
 At the close of each days session each class room should be thoroughly swept, dusted and aired that each morning may find it clean and free from dust, and the floors should re- ceive frequent scrubbing with soap and water. During the winter the rooms may be kept at an even temperature with but slight care on the part of the person whose duty it is to attend to this important matter. Too much heat Is nearly as injurious as too little, and 0 varying temperature is more dan. gerous than either.
 Economy in this matter is criminal and unpardonable injustice to the cou. Ing men and women, and every town should see that its schools are clean, comfortable and well lighted.
