4 .BELGT.4N PLAN.

Even little Belgium is feeling the general impulse. A bill has just been submitted to the Belgian Parliament, providing for the complete reorganiza- tion of the defences of Antwerp and immense Improvements in it's port ac- commodation. The total cost of the mil- itary works is estimated at more than s20,000,000 In the port itself there will be an immense increase of the quay space and warehousing accommodation, one branch of the river being locked off, and converted entirely into a lock canal dock, while many other docks, wet and dry, are to be constructed. Of the latter, there will be group placed close together of varying size, one at least having an effective length of $50 feet, capable of receiving the largest vessels. For these magnificent illarbor works no less than 10,560 acres of land are to be appropriated, and the total cost of the land and of the work is es- timated at more than $36,O0O,00O. The State expects to recover enough by the resale of land to reduce this expendi- ture by $10,oo0,0oo or so, and the town of Antwerp will defray the cost of the dock canal, estimated at about $9,OOO,- 0OO, so that the total expense to the State for these commercial improve ments is likely to be something less than $2O, O,oOOOOo.
 Twenty millions is a good deal for Belgium to spend, but perhaps the ex- penditure will pay.

ATL4ST.

After gentlemen have cried peace. peace a long time, peace is really in sight at last. and there is much joy around because President Roosevelt is the man who has succeeded in induc- ing the belligerent powers to be will ing to talk instead of fight. Foreign diplomats in Washington, most of whom have heard from their respec- tive governments, ,are loud in their praises of the directness of the method employed by the President and of the heartiness of tone and sincerity of pur- pose which characterized his commit nications to the belligerent powers. It is generally remarked that not only the peculiarly advantageous position of the United States and the universal confi- dence which President Roosevelt in- spires. but the simplicity and straight forwardness of his expressions to both powers. have resulted in an end for which every one hoped, but of which no one else dared attempt the accomplish ment.
 We and our head man are certainly great, and it is good for ourselves and the world that we are. Great in war, great in peace, and great in our own estimation.

GOOD WORK KINPHILADE1PHLA. IN


 The good work of cleaning up Phil adelphia goes bravely and wisely on. Mayor Weaver has appointed an advis- ory committee of fourteen citizens, which he will consult on matters of business connected with the city. The members of the committee are: John H. Converse, head of the Baldwin Locomo- tive Works; William Potter, lawyer and a former minister to Italy; Hugh McCaffery, president of the McCaffrey file works; Rudolph Blankenburg, wholesale dry goods; Charles Emory Smith, editor of the Philadelphia Press; Walter F. Hagar, ship broker and ex- porter: Mahlon N. Kline, wholesale druggist; Francis B. Reeves, bank president: William T. Tilden, whole sale wool merchant: w. w. Justice, wholesale wool merchant; Morris New berger, bank president; John R. Mus ser, physician; John H. Kitchener, bus mess man and bank president: and Charles H. Harding, wholesale yarns.
 This is strong committee, and the -Penrose gang doesn't feel con- fident. Its plan now is to be concilia- tory, to ''lie 1ow," to keep out of pub lie sight, and to hope. "We must not let the people taste blood at next cleo tion," declares a Durham spokesman; Eff they do they will be raving in Feb ruary. when members of councils are to be voted for" Perhaps the gang will so now.

OSTRTCHES.

There is an ostrich farm in Califor- mia, but Cape Colony is really the im- portant ostrich raising center of the world. Every year from two hundred to three hundred tons of feathers plucked from these ungainly birds are shipped from Port Elizabeth, Cape Col ony. During 1903, the latest year for which complete figures are available. 490,066 pounds of feathers, having a value of s4,6O5,oOO, were exported from that port.
 Ostrich raising in South Africa is more profitable than growing wheat or other cereals. Any farmer having means of growing lucerne hay-that is, having water and irrigable lands-will find running ostriches much more It, crative than growing maize or wheat. These cereals can now be imported al- most as cheaply as they can be raised. With lucerne available five ostriches can be grazed for each one acre of land the year around. Good ostriches run- ming on lucerne will produce easily $24 to $37 per annum each. Ostriches are very small eaters, and do remarkably well when fed on about three pounds of lucerne hay per diem.
 When once a farmer has his farm in- closed ostrich raising is simple and re- quires few hands. At the present time
The daily morning journal and courier., 1905-06-12

a great deal of attention is being paid to selection. and any farmer wishing to start in the business should see that he gets good stock at the outset. There is no species of bird that increases faster than ostriches. and by buying a few pairs of good quality one can stock a farm with hundreds of ostriches in a short time. It is a common thing to pay as much as $250 or even $500 for a really Well-bred bird.

THE BRACER,

"The bracer" is the name popularly given to so-called patent-that Is, hot patent, but very secret-concoc- tion sold at soda water" fountain by the nostrum drug stores. In some towns or small cities and in some parts of our country it is said that practi- cally every one has this form of the drug habit, for such 1t is. Narcomia is being extended by this means to an extent that is frightful. Clerks and office men are hardly able to go to their work until they have had four or five glasses of these secret drugs, and the laboring population Is almost as bad.' The attention of the Wom- ans Christian Temperance Union (which thinks the medical profession responsible for alcoholism and drug habits) is respectfully called to this atrocious abuse. Saloons also help in the degrading horror of drugging the already wretched quality of the liquors sold. All true temperance people will unite with the me iical profession to check this abuse. Womens civic inn pavement clubs and leagues might getting sood laws passed and in get ting good men to execute them. If they wouii set about it, the women could outroot this and many similar evils. Possibly no new laws are needs9. and that only scientific analysis of these drueged drinks should be made in 6 thorough going way, followed by pro- secutions of the criminal manufac- turers and sellers, following by JailiGg the wratches who thus defy every de- nand of law, medicine and health.'-- American Medicine.
