The greatest trouble says an ad- vocate of hop raising is to secure la bor during the picking season. Hops must be gathered by hand and during a few weeks in August and Septem- Der. Thus a large number of la borers are needed for but a short per- iod. The three principal beer pro- ducing countries are Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. with 62,0O1,59S barrels, 47,- 1SS.6OO barrels and 54,724,553 bar rels respectively. At the present rate of increase it will be but a short time when the production of beer in the United States will exceed that of Germany and will lead the world. In the United Kingdom and Germany hop production is decreasing and beer production increasing so the de- mand for American hops both at home and abroad should increase. "The United States Is capable of SUD- plying the world with hops. however greatly the demand may increase, " said Victor H. olmstead, chief Of the statistical bureau of the department of agriculture, in discussing this question.

The tariff remains the only issue on which the democrats can be got together, says New York writer. Even the conservatives" who are terrified by the demand that the rail- roads shall deal fairly with the pub lie, and that the trusts shall be stopped from monopolizing the pro- duction of necessary commodities, are quite ready to vote for alterations in our tariff, which will disturb the ac- tivities of billions of capital and mill lions of laborers, and risk the sus- pension of employment in a thousand fields of activity. Just so they fought through the alteration of our monetary basis from that which had been accepted by the human race for five thousand years, to one which originated with the English bullion report of 1916, and all in the name of conservative" finance. Their conservatism" is of the sort de- scribed by Burke, in saying that with some people a penny held close to the eye looks bigger than a guinea farther off,"

 It is a good idea for the authori- ties of Yale university to exercise some supervision over the invitations extended by the university clubs to public takers. Recently there has been a disposition to extend club hos pitalities to various cranks and mo- toriety seekers whose only object in appearing before the collegians is to advertise themselves. That is a thing to which the great universities l of the country cannot afford to lend themselves.-Hartford Times. Gasolene bids fair to drive the old steam road roller out of business. The latest invention is roller run by gasolene, doing away with the necessity of hauling coal and water for the engine, saving loss of fuel and time in banking the fire at night | and starting it again the next morn ing, and taking from the public highway the smoke nuisance of the | old-style coal-consumer. By use of a muffler, both noise and odor are minimized.-Ansonia Sentinel. We have the word of migration Commissioner Sergeant for the com | forting fact that the last million of our immigrants brought along with them $25, 5,000,000 to add to the as- sets of the country. It is not large sum, to be sure, but it removes the | aliens quite a distance from the pauper class and insures them a reasonable opportunity to secure en- ployment without becoming charges | on the country. And once employed and put in touch with American life assimilation goes on apace.-New Britain Herald.

 The dog force in Ghent now mum. bers 30. When on duty at night the police dog walks ten paces ahead of the policeman. While the latter ex. amines doors and shutters the dog carefully pokes his nose into all the hooks and corners.
 These dogs are not of any fancy toy breed by any means, but belong to that hardy race known in Flu rope to the custom house frontier service and closely allied to the sheep dog breed. The dog force of Ghent is to be increased to 50 soon.
 Similarly at Paris it Is expected that dogs will prove valuable.
 Three animals have been purchased and are all under a year old, bright keen and intelligent. Their training has been most careful, for 1t will be highly necessary for the dogs to leave the honest citizen alone while har. rying the thief. Their lessons are given every day at Neuilly, and are most interesting.
 The dogs are first taught to re. spond always to the cry of Help" "Police!" "Robbers!" and "Murderl" As they fly to rescue they remain si lent, but once in sight of their quarry they bark loudly and continuously to guide the police to them. Once they have picked out the malefactor they are to stick to him, no matter what he does, and to pull him down if pos. sible.
 Duke. one of the dogs, during his training has gained the name of the climber" because during the tests he has learned to leap up the side of a pole or tree to catch the fugitive by the foot, to which the dog hangs despite all efforts to shake him on.
 The others will leap over walls, fences or anything else. They are stout-hearted dogs. and part of their training Is to learn to disregard club. pings. kicks and blows. They speed. fly become skillful at this. just as bear dogs learn to evade the sweeping blows of bruins paws.
 Everything has been arranged in the training yard as 1t is in the forest or along deserted streets with walls, sudden twists and turns. It is thought the three dogs. Duke. Black and Bob, will be detailed to active work within a month.
 Paris authorities are very reticent concerning the dogs. N. simard will not allow any persons to witness the training. nor will he discuss the plan. He refuses to tell the breed of his dogs.

 Police of Ghent. ..s.-s.

Paris police are keen, alert and en- ergetic, but they have found them. selves unequal to the task of round ing up the thieves and assassins which thrive, seemingly, as never be- fore in her streets and the outlying districts, Conscious of the fact that they had reached the limit of eff. ciency on the part of the policeman of the genus homo. the progressive and resourceful prefect of police, M. Lepine, has turned hopefully towards the police of the genus canine. Dogs. specially trained to the work, are to be enlisted on the force, and when they are fully trained and set to work 1t is expected they will soon have every venturesome thief and law breaker literally, on the run, with every certainty of capture.
 The idea of dog policemen came from Ghent, Belgium, where such a canine squad Is said to be a perfect success. In former days Ghent was a

The steamship Goldmouth, a vessel which burns liquid (petroleum) fuel, recently arrived at Thameshaven af- ter passage from Balik, Pappan. in Borneo, a distance of over 12,00O miles, without a stop. The revolu- tions averaged 54.9, and the speed throughout the passage averaged over nine knots. This is the third non- stop run made by this vessel while burning liquid fuel, the first being from Singapore to Rotterdam in May and June, 1906, and the second from Singapore to Thameshaven in Sep tember and October, 1906. Probably there is no other recorded instance of a single vessel having made three nonstop runs of such duration with liquid fuel.

 Henry Watterson's assertion that President Roosevelt assured a party of journalists last winter that if nominated for a third term the con- vention would have to reassembIe be- cause he would not accept the nom ination, may be correct, but it is dollars to doughnuts that the secret never would have remained buried until this time If 1t had been a party of newspapeTmen-Springfield Union.
 Complaint of foreign invasion of the yacht bossing industry must make shippers regret that American boys do not like the flavor of sea life.

Agitation of this matter might be worthy the best efforts of the best American marineTs.-New London Day.
