ear always that is the best, as some
people believe. The methods Of judg-
Ing corn at the Iowa state fair, which
will be the methods used at the meet-

corn offered then, are to rate perfect
ear of corn at 100 per cent, and for any
defect to subtract. On this basis the

NEW RATING OF WORLDS FLEET.

We must entirely revise our esti-
mate of the relative power of some of
the leading navies. France yields
second place to the United States;
and, Germany, which before the Japa-
nese war was considered to be at
least equal if not superior to the
United States, moves down to fifth
position with Japan ahead of her,
Russia being sixth, Italy seventh,
and Austria in the eighth position.
This startling advancement of
some of the navies and depreciation
of others is due to the fact that the
new system of rating is based strictly
upon the stern lessons of the Japa-
nese war, in which, during a few
short months, the third greatest navy
of the world (Russia's) was practi-
cally swept out of existence. -Scien-

oriental Picturesauene...

PicturesQueness in costume is DOOM
ed. Cheap ready made clothing will be
its undoing. The British representa-
tive at Dar-al-Baida says the Moors OF
Morocco are taking more and more to
wearing European clothes in prefer
ence to their national dress and that
as consequence there is a fine oper-
ing for ready made clothes for men and
women, provided the colors be bright
1t is possible that adherence to the
taste for vivid hues may save the situ-
alton, but there is danger that the
drummer IN his anxiety to increase
trade will knock out the tourist busi-
ness. Nine-tenths of the attraction that
q visit to oriental countries has for the
average traveller is the picturesque cos
tunes OF the inhabitants. If they are
supplanted by European togs and
nothing but the dirt Is left, it is doubt
fuI whether the latter will prove n
powerful enough magnet to draw the
tourist-San Francisco Chronicle.

conceit of the R.Limos.

The missionaries tell me that the
Eskimos are n most conceited race
and that their opinion OF their musical
gifts is very high. The first time a
mlssionary's wife played on the plano
for them they exclaimed, "She plays
almost as well as we" This conceIt
OF the Eskimos makes the missionaries
task very difficult. What can a teacher
accomplish when his pupils think they
know more than he? The Eskimos do
not even attempt to argue, but simply
shrug their shoulders and say with
n supercilious smile, 'That may be so
in your opinion, but And SO. In
spite of nearly $50 years OF religious
training, many Of them are still only
quasi-Christians, and the traveller may
still pick up curious bits of heathen
folklore among them. The mission
aries have, however, undoubtedly
wrought wonders, for to them is due

made in this bowling wilderness. The

A popular impression prevails that
the Indians are dying out. Those who
have given the subject study believe
there are more Indians today I'm the
United States than there were when
Columbus landed The Indians were
never populous. They were too much
at war. They roamed the prairies and
hunted through the forests, but they
never had local habitntions and were
never many In one spot The first ac-
tual census OF the Indians was taken
seventy years ago. At that time there
were found to be 253, ,464. Prior to that
time everything had been by guess. Be
ginning with the count OF 1880, the off,
cial reports OF Indian population are as
follows: In 1860, at the beginning of
the civil war. there were 254, 200.
Twenty years later. in 1880. there were
256.127. In 1900 there were 272, ,023.
Today. by count OF the Indian agents
on the reservations of the country,
there are 2S4, 900 Indians. The Indian
is not dying out. and there is no reason
why he should.-Mobile Register.

THROUGH PEACE TO LIGHT.

1 do not ask, o Lord, that life may be
A pleasant road:
do not ask that Thou wouldst take from
Aught of its load;
i do not ask that flowers should always
spring
Beneath my feet;
/ know too well the poison and the sting
OF things too sweet.
For one thing only, Lord, dear Lord,
plead:
Lead me Alright
Though strength should falter, and
though heart should bleed
Through peace to light.
/ do not ask, o Lord, that Thou shouldst
Full radiance here;
Give but a ray of peace, that 1 may
tread
Without fear.
1 do not ask my cross to understand,
My way to see;
Better in darkness just to feel Thy hand
And follow Thee.
Joy is like restless day; but peace divine
Like quiet night:
Lead me, o Lord. till perfect day shall
shine,
Through peace to light.

There is no doubt that the large

part to negro victims, as the blacks
are peculiarly subject to this disease,
aud we have larger population of

that is phase of the subject which
