of a little matter which shows the
courtesy and good feeling that exists
among show people. "Under Two

IRRIGATION IN INDIA.
One Scheme That Will Reclaim Fifty
Thousand Acres

London. June 1.-THE secretary of
state for India has sanctioned two i'm
portant irrigation schemes in accord
ance with the policy recommended
by Sir Colin Scott-Moncrieff's COM
mission. The first of these schemes
is the irrigation at a cost of 1872 laks
of rupees of Divi island at the mouth
OF the Kistna river, in the Madras
presidency. Water is to be raised
from the river by means of centrifu.
gal pumps driven by Diesel oil engin-
es. The area of land to be fortified
is $4,000 acres. and the net revenue
anticipated will be equivalent to 9h
per cent on the total capital outlay.
The other scheme sanctioned is of
a protective" rather than "pro-
ductive" character. At cost of over
40 laks of rupees a canal is to be
constructed from theDassan river in
the Hamirpur district of the United
Provinces. distance of 2O1h miles,
with branches to Jalalpur and Mand-
ha. 2SR and 141a miles, respectively,
in length, and with a system of trib-
utafies whose total length is estimat-
ed at 21O miles. The canals will pro-
tect huge tract of country very liza
bic to ,routh. Commanding suffi.
Gent area of $4,000 acres they are
expected to provide sufficient water
to irrigate $1,000 acres in ordinary
seasons and about $4,000 acres in
years Of deficient rainfall. The esti-
mated net revenue will yield a return
OH the capital from to 6 per cent.

Russian Officer and His Men,.

A colonel in the Russian army
writes in The World Today for May
as follows:
The relations between officers and
men are close and intimate in the ex-
IRENE. colonel is not merely the
commander of regiment. or cap
tam merely the head of his company.
troop or battery. He is the "little
father of his men, their guide. coun-
selor and friend. There are eXcep-
tons to the general rule. of course
Just as there are exceptions to all
rules. But in a very large majority
OF cases the attitude of the officer is
commendable in the extreme. If one
OF his soldiers wishes to COMMUNE
cate with his family or friends at
home, and can not write, his officer
writes the letter for him. and reads
to him the one that comes in response
if the man can not perform that SER
vice for himself If the soldier is in
trouble, it his officer to whom he
goes for advice and assistance and

properly received and treated is so

as you Americans would say. braces
him up The army of no country in
the world shows a better condition
of affairs in this respect than does
that Of Russia. The officer realizes
the responsibility that is his. a re-
sponsibity far greater than that which
rests upon the officers of armies main
tanned by countries the soldiers of
which, from an educational stand
point, perhaps. shows higher stand
ard than DO those of Russia. He re-
allies that his soldiers need to be led
rather than driven, and he acts &C
cordingly. The soldiers appreciate
this, and the result is that the esprit
de corps of the Russian army, even in
times of the greatest stress, compares
most favorably with that to be OBJ
served in any other country.

continents, always more and more ap-
proXimating the equator.
The inferior races will soon COM
pletely perish. l fail to see any hope
of deliverance for them. Missionaries
may supply them with ever so many
Bibles and ever so much external
Christianity, and theorists of philan-
thropy, who have never seen a negro
or an Indian outside of a circus or in
pictures, may wax into ever so much
enthusiasm about the son of the will
derness and the romance of the Ma
oris or Caribs, yet the white race is
better prepared for the struggle for
existence than all the other races of
men, and just as he requires the land
OF the savage to live upon will he take
it without hesitation.
The black, red or yellow specimens
of humanity will then be nothing else
than foes of the white race, who will
make it's existence difficult or impossi-
bic for it, and the latter will treat
them just as it has treated the ami
NAL foes for it's children. focks and
fields. just as it has treated the great
feline animals of India and Africa

white man to the upper portion of the
Congo, to the banks of the Gauges and
the Amazon, and before the last saw
age of the primeval forests of Brazil,
New Guinea and Ceylon will have
disappeared before him, but ultimate
ly this will happen and the entire
earth will be subject to the plough
and locomotive of Europe.

ANOTHER BIG
RANCH SALE
FORMER NEBRASKA MAN BUYS
THE HAYS TRACT NEAR
GARNEILL.

Another big ranch deal was con-
summated last week, by which Eli Il.
Needham, late of Albion, Nebraska,
became the owner of the A. T. Hays
tract, near Garneill, consisting of $50
acres of fine land. The consideration
has not been made public, but the
ranch is most desirable one, and
the price was a good one. Mr.. Need
ham is new conner in this section
but he has looked over the basin
thoroughly, and is convinced that it
offers more inducements than any sec
ton he is familiar with. He is a
cousin of Mel Stephens, of Berry e

GLANCE INTO THE FUTURE.
Max Nordau Considers Some Prob.
lens That Will Arise.

Looking forward into the future one
often thinks of how future generations
will solve the question of food sup
ply when the old countries of the
world have become so crowded that
they can no longer feed themselves.
Here one of the laws of nature will
come into operation. The excess of
the European population will flow out
of the continent in the direction of
least resistance. This least resistance
is offered by the colored races, and
these, therefore. are of necessity
doomed, first of all to be dslodged by
the sons of the white race, and then
to be annihilate1.
The feeling of mutual responsibility,
which is gradually being embraced
by all Europeans, will not extend to
the colored races. That uniformity
of civilization which makes the peo-
pie OF Europe like to one another,
will not subsist between these and
the inhabitants of the remaining cor.
tinents.
The application of force. which in
Europe will be prospectless, will guar.
antee any easy success beyond its
bounds. The European emierant will
not remove out of the temperate zone,
which is the most beneficial and agree.

lutely necessary. He will first of all
settle the whole of North America and
Australia, and the whole of Africa
and America south of the torrid zone.
Then he will take possession of the
southern coast of the Mediterranean
sea and penetrate into the hospitable
portions of Asia.
The natives will first of all try TO
organize resistance. but will soon see
that their only salvation is in flight.
They will retreat before the Europeans
and in their turn overwhelm the small,
er and feebler landholders, treating
them in the same way as they them
selves have been treated by the strong,
err whites.

SoWinu the Bible,
(From Eyervbodv's Mag;

(From Everybodys Magazine.)
In Armenia the distribution of the
Bible by missionaries is especially
difficult. Yet the book is eagerly read
by the natives when it falls into their
hands, as may be gathered from this
stolS, told by one of the Bible men.
A copy Of the Bible was given to a
patient in the American Hospital. and
by him carried home in village Here
an Armenian priest took it from the
man. and, having torn it to pieces,
threw it into the street
A grocer picked it up and took it to
his shop, where he began to use it as
wrapping paper. So for a time olives,
cheese, candles and other things were
sent forth from that store were wrap
ped in pages upon which We're printed
the Words of Life"
In this way the Bible was scattered
about through that village, and was
read by many whose interest was so
far oroused that they began asking for
more OF the same book. The result
was that when the colpOrteur next
came around, over one hundred Bibles
or portions of the Bible were sold in
