Race Troubles of Austria.

T~HE wonder is indeed that Austria does not have
troubles. When we consider what an
amazing potpourr1 of that Empire represents
Germans, HunGarians, Czechs, Poles, Italians and
Turks-the continual marvel is that it should hold together
at all. 1t would not have held together If it had not
adopted the principle of Federal Home These vari
populations hate another but they togeth

Thus 1t is that the Poles Of Austria happier than

The railroads are the arteries of our
commercial life. Restrict their func-
tons and lessen their efficiency and the
whole body corporate will suffer. But
we have great faith In the future of
railroad morality. 1t is growing better
all the time. 1t was a great day for
American railroading when Mr.. Cas-
satt, of the Pennsylvania, announced
to the astounded and incredulous Mr..
Carnegie, of Pittsburg, that rebates
in the steel business were a thing of
the past.

Of the kind in this country in holding
parents responsible for the behavior Of
children. In the first six months Of
1904 Judge Lindsey, of Denver, sent
thirty fathers to Jail because their
boys were lawbreakers. These fathers
knew the boys were habitual truantS,
stole rides on trains and did other dis
orderly things, and failed to discipline
them. But the judge was not SO fool
ish as to lock up the fathers during
work days. He sentenced each to a
year in Jail, the year to be made up
Of week ends, from noon on Saturday
till breakfast time on Monday. After
the first week end in jail he suspended
sentence indefinitely, to give them a
chance to reform the boys-with the
assurance that If the reform failed
they would be reincarcerated.

HOP INDUSTRY IN ENGLAND
Restricted to Six Counties and the
Present Outlook Far from
Encouraging.

At a special meeting Of the HoI
Growers association at Hereford recent
ly, resolutions were passed assertin;
that the decline Of the English hoplin
dustry was largely due to the free i'm
portation Of hops from abroad; that i'm
ported hops should be marked under the
acknowledgements act, and urging tht
government to levy an import duty tha
will save the industry from destruc
ton.
The outlook in England is far from en-
couraging, and to those who know the
trade best it appears that hops will be
imported in larger quantities and that
their growth in England must continue
to decline. It is suggested that Ameri-
can growers follow the changing con
ditions Of this industry.
The cultivation of hops in Great Brit
ain is restricted to some six counties Of
England, the total area in hops outside
these counties being only 1873 acres, as
compared with 47,611 acres within
them.
The total production Of hops this year.
estimated at 2S2, 800 hundredweight (31,.
e20,960 pounds, is 1878 hundred
weight (15,5SS, $50 pounds) less than the
crop of 1908, although this years acre
age Of hops was only 139 acres less than
that Of last year. The production fol
1904 escapes being the lowest on rec
ord by the small quantity of 40 hun.
dredweight. Every one Of the hop coun-
ties registers diminished output.

LET IDLE THINGS DO GOOD
Unused Articles About the House
That May Be Turned to Good
Account.

Go up to your attic, look about your
house and see how many things are
lying around that you can not only dis
pense with, but which are also really
in your way, that would bring meas
ure Of comfort and happiness to others
less fortunate than yourself, says ORR
son SWEET Marden, In Success Maya
zine.
Look over your old clothing and pick
out the articles that you will never
wear again, but which would prove a
real Godsend to some poor girls out
Of employment or who have so many
depending upon them that they cannot
afford 10 buy necessary clothing for
themselves. Do not keep those things
until they become useless, thinking you
may need them some time Let then
do good now, while 1t is possible.
Perhaps you have number Of pref
ty, but useless old Christmas presents
which you have been keeping for years
merely out of feeling of sentiment.
Why not make some poor children
who, perhaps, never had a Christmas
present, happy with those things
They made you very happy once, and
they will do so again, when you know
that they are making this Christmas
brighter and happier for others.
Look over your books Pick out the
duplicates, or the paper-covered ones
that you have read and give them away
where they will be appreciated. There
are probably books in your library, OF
lying around the house, which no one
has looked into for years, or will read
for years to come, which would be OF
lnestimable value to boys and girls
who are trying TO educate themselves
under great difficulties. Pass them on.
The more you give away the more you
will have and enjoy. The habit OF
stinginess strangles happiness; tho
habit of giving multiplies it.
Perhaps you have damaged OF old
pieces Of furniture slowed away in the
attic which would add greatly to the
comfort and brightness Of some poor
home. Go over your china closet and
see how many odd or Clipped and dis
colored dishes are lying there unused
which would Ill an embarrassing want
In many poverty-stricken home.
When the fit Of generosity comes
over you as Christmas time approaches
when you feel your heart softening
with human sympathy-go about the
house and pick up everything you do
not need and send them away on their
mission Of love while the impulse is
upon you. Do not let selishness and
stinginess try to convince you that you
would better keep them. that you may
find some use for them in the future.
Your impulse to do good is a divine
inspiration Beware how you smother
1t, or let It pass by.

NO CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Death Sentence Is Often Pronounced
in Belgium, But Is Never
Executed.

In Belgium there is no capital pun
ishment. The death sentence is Otter
pronounced, but it is never executed
The statutes prescribe an extreme pen
atty, but it is only carried out con-
structiyely, the condemned person being
regarded in the eyes Of the law as dead
but is permitted to live, serving out q
life sentence in Imprisonment.
The reason for this strange state Of
affairs is that King Leopold promised
his mother when she was dying that he
would never sign his name to death
warrant. Death has been pronounced
upon many a criminal since that time
but the death warrant has remained I'M
signed by the king A great many eff
forts have been made to persuade King
Leopold to make an exception TO his
promise. This was especially urged
upon him in the case Of three anarchists
who had been condemned by the law
to die, and although petitions signed by
thousands of his subjects were pre-
sented he would not yield but remained
faithful to the promise made to his dy-
ing mother.
