Slavic Farming In the East.

From Charities and The Commons.
 It is hard for us to reproduce to our selves the impression which America makes on the Europeap the sense of space of opportunity, of a very clamor of the earth to men to come and use 1t. Our talk of congestion, of being overtilled with hordes of foreigners strikes, let us say a Polish priest in a country parish, who does not know the East Side of New York which dominates the mind of the writer, as not so much ludicrous as hypocritioal.
 Slavic farming In the east has diff ferent history and Is of a different type. It occupies more Poles and fewer Bohem- fans. Ie began later. It is in much closer connection with industrial colonies. Where in the three older groups the majority are independent farmers, who came from tho old country with money to buy land in America in this group (and also in Illinois and Maryland), the hired farm laborer predominates. Arriving with no means he earns perhaps twenty-five dollars month besides his board and is soon able to marry a Polish girl, who has meanwhile been saving a good part of her weekly wage of s3.5O as a servant, and go to farming for himself.

SMALLEST CROP IN YEARS

ern points, 86 cars, making total of BOG cars shipped to the eastern markets. The remaining 27 cars were sent out among the western markets generally and New Orleans. receiving about eight carloads, was the only southern point getting showing of any size
 The short crops necessarily make high prices, and as the eastern market pays the best price for green fruit, IL ts taking almost everything shipped. IL is usually the case that the eastern market takes precedence in the begin hing of the season, but that by the end of the season the western markets have evened up matters, as better prices are paid west for the later fruit. It is thought that this year the eastern market will keep up it's lead through out the entire season and will use at least 70 per cent of the fruit shipped. The peach season will end by the mid de of August
 Statistics show that the watermelon crop thIs year will be better than that of last year. The killing weather which played so much havoc in the other fruit fields was over before melons were planted and the crops will yield as eN- pected. The movement so far this year is 851 carloads, a gain of 120 carloads over last year. Of this lot the majority has been consumed by the eastern mar ket but not so great d majority as in the peach crop.
 From reports received by the Central from the watermelon districts, a good crop will be moved between July 12 and 70, after which the season will be practically over. The melons this year nave proven of the best variety and have found ready market wher- ever sent.

Troops Guard Palace.

Seoul, July 2O.-At Il o'clock last night General Hasegawa's troops garrisoned the palace and were also stationed at all i'm portant places. During the night the Ping Yang regiment said to be the best in the Korean army, was dlsarmed on ac- count of having furnished yesterdays mutineers and also because it was sus- pected of plotting to capture the palace in an attempted coup d'etat. The stu dents of the military school are reported to have attempted to collect military supplies on a hill overlooking the city The Korean army is widely distributed over the country and Is not feared
 Yesterdays disorder tended to the su- burbs for a distance of two miles, where a station-master on the Chemulpo railway is reported to have been killed.
 An official report this morning states that total of ten Japanese were killed and thirty wounded by the rioting. The number of Korean victims has not been reported.

From the Savannah News.
 Peach crops of Georgia do not pre- sent a very encouraging outlook, ac- cording to the statistics sent out by the Central of Georgia railway At the beginning of the season very low es- timate was placed on the crops as a result of the killing frost. but present indications show the crops will fall far short of the estimate.
 The Central of Georgia handles prac- tically all of the fruit crops of Georgia, either directly or at junction points, and its figures car De relied upon. Men are kept in touch with the fruit grow CTS and from time to time estimates of the outlook are made. The movement so far Is about one-third of that of last year and indications show there will be d steady decrease in the ratio as the season progresses.
 July 12, 1906. 06...........1204 carloads July .2, 1907 O7...#.=......... 333 carloads
 These figures show the great dearth in peaches this season. Such a low mark for the peach crop has not been reached in many years. There have been many low marks on account of killing frosts, but seldom has the move ment fallen off so much in proportion to the number of ruit-bearing trees All over the district 1t is reported that the damage done is even greater than expected. 1t is now thought that at the end of the season the crop will show the smallest in the last twenty or twenty-five years in proportion
 The points to which the cars have been moved this year are as follows; New York, 1S6 ears; Philadelphia, TO cars; Pittsburg, II cars, and other east

SHOPS ALL CLOSED.
Great Excitment Prevails Among the
 Koreans at Ping Yang.

Ping Yang, July 2O.-All the shops here are closed. There is great excitement among the natives, who are unaware that abdication has been accomplished The safety of Japanese residents is problemat- ical as the departure of regiment for Seoul leaves only 800 Japanese troops in the province.
 The shops of Seoul have been closed now for thirtysix hours. Today the crowds are greater and the native spirit Is higher, necessitating a greater show of military force, as the people are en- couraged and inflamed by the several kill ings of yesterday. General Hasegewa has two machine guns placed in the pal ace square.
 Not only is the Korean army regarded as impotent to cope with the situation, but the number of Japanese are wholly inadequate Arrangements have been made for reinforcing them from Shimono- ski Hostilities are directed wholly against the Japanese. Other foreigners are safe. Much apprehension is felt for the safety of Japanese at interior places when the Korean masses learn, as they will in a few days, Of the momentous events that have occurred.

climate of Missouri are almost identical with those of Kentucky, where the plant has given best results second lands are yet cheap in many sections of Missouri. The ftmp growers of Kentucky are now casting about for cheaper lands for hemp growing and there are good hemp produc- ing lands in Missouri that can be bought outright for but little more than the rent Kentucky farmers are now paying for their hemp lands.
 Sections Visited.
 The sections which I visited were Lexington, the great blue grass sec tion of the state, Cynthiana and Paris. found at all these places great in- terest and great hopes for the future profits in hemp growing In fact emp growing was all the talk everywhere. The people are greatly interested in the recent results
 Beautiful Study.
 The study of this hemp industry, it's history, and it's future promise is a very interesting one and one that opens a great field for investigation or for experimenting.
 Growing In Nebraska.
 Since my return from Kentucky I have been holding meetings with the farmers of Nebraska. In sections of Nebraska I find hemp growing luxuri- antly along the road sides, which in- dicates that 1t could be grown here at a profit.
 Conclusion.
 Now I do not want to become too enthusiastic for it is not a conserva- tive plan to push any industry that we have but barely been introduced to for there is always two sides to every question and the hemp industry, no doubt. Is no exception in this respect. It, no doubt, has it's advantages and it's disadvantages. Like all other crops there will be seasons of great profit and others of partial failure. At least it Is reasonable to expect that such will be the case. In connection with my investigations in Kentucky, I visited the department of agriculture, Wash ington, D. C., where I had the pleasure of meeting Professor Dewey, who is In charge of the fibre uepart- ment, and I found him very hopeful for the future of the hemp industry in the United States From Professor Dewey I obtained much valuable in- formation. so in summing up the whole matter 1 believe that it would be well for farmers living in sections where the soil and climate are suitable to plant a small acreage and conduct ex- periments in the growing and handling of the crop. Such experiments will be safe, especially so when dealers will contract for the entire product before the seed are planted Another point is that the dealers who contract for the fibre will furnish their growers seed. It may pay many of our farmers to in vestigate the hemp industry more fully.

letters of the Jewish Exile.

From the London Saturday Review.
 All deductions made, however, these epistolary records of the age of the Jewish exile are well worth reading. They serve to enforce the lesson that human life is much the same at all times and in all places, provided 1t is led in a civilized community. Human wants and even the expression of them do not vary much.
 The letters, like all others in the ,cuneiform script, were written on clay tablets, which were inclosed in a clay envelope bearing the address. There were already complaints that work WaS 'insufficiently paid. A brewer, for in stance, writes to say that after I have made Al casks of one-year-old beer and 12 casks of old beer in four months in the cellar adjoining that tof Rimut- Bau, one mana of silver Is ltoo little" Another writer protests .In the matter of the money which my father has sent the money which has been paid for the dates Is too little. Let my father speedily send two lmanas of silver in addition" The Iwork men were frequently paid in kind; sometimes, however, a lump sum of money was paid down, out of which the artisan was expected to find his own flood. One letter casts a rather Iurid Night on the relations between the em- ployers and employed. The writer states that a workman had gone blind, and that consequently his pay must be stepped and his place taken by some lone else. Between the state of society rehected in this letter and the work

 Women, as might be supposed, appear among the correspondents. One of them was careful housewife who inn presses upon her husband to put the meat which has been sent you into salt; but if you are not ready to do so give 1t to Nazir after the ninth day" Another is equally characteristic.

Seoul, July 20.-At 10 o'clock an all legged plot was reported to Marquis Ito. He was told that the imperial guard had been cladestinely ordered by the former Emperor to enter the palace at midnight and murder the whole cab inet which was responsible for his ab- dication. This is the official explana- tion of the fact that the Japanese are garrisoning tine palace

Protection for Foreiqners.

Seoul, July 20.-United States Consul Samons late yesterday afternoon, in reply to Marquis Ito's offer of protection to foreign consulates, stated that he would leave the matter of protectin Americans to Itos discretion, as he was without informe tion regarding danger from mobs.
 On acc count of the fact that the Amer ican consulate general adjoins the former Emper or's private house, it Is daily thought that the eX-ruler will seek 1t as an asylum of safety, giving as d cause the presence of Japanese troops for the alleged purpose of preventing his es- cape or a possible accident.
 It is said, however, that since NoVem- Der, 1905, the Koreans have not hoped for American aid.

NEW BLOUSES IN
LACE COMBINATIONS.

Some very pretty blouses are made in
fine Brussels net, with deep berthe collars,
composed Of a number of these filet lace
squares, connected with each other by tiny
bows and loops of black velvet ribbon,
drawn through miniature diamond
buckles. This idea is repeated all around
the bodice, with an effect which is dis
tinctly original and at the same time very
becoming.
Other blouses are arranged with wide In
s%ertions Of fllet lace, running in a down
ward direction from throat to waist, and
placed alternately with similar insertions
in Valenciennes lace. In some cases these
blouses are very prettily finished with
belts composed of alternate strips Of lace
insertion and mounted on soft white silk.
AS a trimming, even for gowns in cloth
and cashmere, Irish crochet laces Will be
used during the autumn, and there can be
no doubt as to their making a most ef-
feetive garniture, always supposing that
the designs are chosen with discretion,
since it must honestly be confessed that
all irish lace is not equally beautiful in
itself, nor even decorative in the SAINT
degree.

REGARDING HATS.

Fortunate, indeed, is the woman who
has saved purple flowers from a past sea-
son, for they will be valuable just now.
A neat French hat, despite the fact 1t is
one of the large models, is a dark plum
felt. trimmed with roses of the same color
and dark green velvet foliage. Rosettes of
plum colored satin ribbon are mingled with
the roses.
Leather-colored felt is a neat color for
q hat and Is shown with trimmings of
brown ribbon and a flowing coque plume
on the left side.
One of the neatest hats seen this sea-
son is a small design with sloping brim
at the back, the rounded one in front
being turned back against the crown. It
is banded with silver oriental braid and a
marabout paradise plume covers the entire
brim. falling over the sloping right brim.
The hat is a Copenhagen blue which har-
monies with the silver band and white
of the plume. A few coral-colored roses
are Swallowed in the front with the plum
! are.
