4 PRODCC TITE STITF.

We read with open-eyed and some times opene3-mouthed wonder of the agricultural wealth of western States, and the figures are certainly large and impressive. But We can well afford to wonder little at what grows right here in Connecticut. At the Agricul- tural meeting held in WIllimantic the other day it appeared that Connecticut produces an annual hay crop that is worth approximately $1O.0O0,O0O. Con- aecticut this year raised tobacco which has total market value of not less than S2,016, ,O00. Connecticut yields near ly $1,2OO,OOO worth of corn, S1SO, ,00O worth of rye, S15O,OOO worth of oats and $65, ,0OO worth of buckwheat, Connect icut easily turns out a potato harvest that brings in about $2,2OO,OOO. Connect icut in 1905 produced for the husband man peaches. apples and small fruits having an aggregate market value of about s1.30O,OOO. Connecticut usually has on hand $5,2oO, 900 worth of cattle, s5,00O,OOO worth of horses and $56O,OOO worth of hogs.
 And So forth and so on, not committing singing the helpful hen and her products, which, it is be- l lieyed. amount to as much as the cat tie do. Truly, Connecticut is a good place to live in, and though New Ha- ven is not a farming community, there is no farming community in the State that excels 1t in producing things.

much larger number Of persons. The
 worship of ancestors tends to prevent race suicide" It is every Chinaman's desire to have posterity, in order to keep up the ancestral worship. There is no greater sin than to offend the whole li~e of ones ancestors by putting an end to the sacrifices due them. The prevailing religion, accordingly. oper- ates to multiply population, but floods, drouths, famines, pestilences, unsani- Itary conditions and rebellions ruthless ly suppressed prevent much increase, The famine of 1S77-7S is supposed to have caused 9,5OO0OO deaths. The flood Of 1888 killed 2,OOOOOO by drowning or starvation. It is estimated by Dr. Mac
 Gowan that in the Taiping rebellion nine provinces were desolated and 3O,- GOO, ,OOO persons were put to death. Close scrutiny of all the available data leads MT. Rockhill to conclude that the popu- lation of China at present cannot great
 ly exceed that of 1S42.
 If there are three times as many peo-
 pie in China as there are in this coun-
 try there are good many, but it will cheer some fclks to know that there are only that number.

GERMANY AND BELGIUM.

Tn an article on German influence in Belgium, Professor AnsiauX, of the University of Brussels, points out that one of the reasons why so many of his compatriots feel special sympathy with Germany is that in proportion that as protective tariffs are drawing a closer circle about the country, Germany holds out to them the inducements of a 'Zollverein. This drift towards Ger many and away from England is en- l couraged, moreover, by the campaign in the latter country against the Congo Free State. Professor AnsiauX thinks it would be very dangerous for Bel gium to swallow the bait held out to her by Germany. Pronunciation of her economic autonomy would be, he ar gues, alienation of her political inde- pendence And for France, a German Belgian Zollverein would constitute a great danger. BelAlan neutrality would no longer exist and the French frontier would be threatened from Dunkirk to Belfort. He declares that Germany is making steady progress towards the fulfilment of her scheme to oust France from all influence in Bel gian institutions of credit. The fnan- cial Germanization, of Belgium. he says, is making rapid headway.
 MT. Ansiaux directs attention to the fact that Fabrique Rationale d'Armes de Guerre at Herstal, near Liege, sds no longer Belgian. The ma- jority of the shares now belong to the German house of Lowe. The electrical industry is likewise in German hands. He evidently fears that the dreams of the Pan-Germany may be realized be- fore long, so far as Belgium is con- cerned.

NOT so MANY CHINESE.

Perhaps there isn't so much of the yellow peril as the scared ones have thought and said. Our minister to Pe- king, MT. W. W. Rockhill, shares the view of Admiral Clark that the popu- lation of China is commonly greatly ex~ aggerated. The last official estimate that of 18S5-made by the Chinese Board of Revenue put the population at 30,- 900, 900. In an article in the last Smith, sonian report MT. Rockhil puts the fig ure still lower. The population of Chi na at present, he thinks, does not ex- ceed ,0OO, and is probably much less. The northern provinces are not overpopulated, but could support a
