when one Of the old professors enter

The young Austrian's head was
very square and large, and mine was
very long, SO suppose the pair Of

THE best equipment Tor hin who
seeks to do this is a knowledge OF his
tory. and as a skillful physician pro.
ceeds to first aequaint himself with the
whole physical and physiological histo-
~ of the patient before prescribing, so
skillful diplomatist should first ac-
quaint himself with the history of
states before trying to bring Earring In
terests Of nations in harmony"
The chief danger today, DR.. Hill
thinks, lies in the conflict of CONNER
cial interests, the increase of popula-
ton, the desire to acquire or extend
territory and search for new markets
and new colonies. He suggests a rene
dy by asking, Is it, then, necessary to
acquire political influence over terri
tory in order to obtain commercial adj
vantages therefrom and therein?"
The whole article is dominated by
the thought that all states more and
more belong to the real family Of ma
tons and the interests and happiness
of the whole family are to be consid-
cred on the same parallel with the in
terests and happiness Of individual
countries and their peoples.

Professor John Mason Tyler, stone

reporter of the New York Herald for
its verifcation. he declined to make
q direct statement, but said that dur

It Is because he is reputed to have

Forty Cadets at-$1,ooo Per Head.
The White Star line training ship
Mersey has sailed from Liverpool on
her first voyage for Melbourne, Aus
tralia, with forty cadets whose par
ents have paid $1,000 each to have
their sons trained for four years to
become officers in the merchant ma

navigation as well as seamanship.
The cadets have been recruited from
the middle class families in England.
After passing the second mates ex-
animation they will be eligible for a
position as sixth mate at a wage Of
$50 per month.
The company has been forced to
equip the Mersey on account Of the
dearth Of officers in England. Fifteen
years ago the Peninsular and Oriental
company had a waiting list of appli-
cants containing over 800 names, and
last summer the company was COM

Or. Hills Scholarly Contribution to d
German Review.
DR.. David Jayne Hill, the new Amer
lean ambassador. to Germany, contrib.
utes to a monthly review his apinions
of modern diplomacy and the duties OF
modern diplomats. Hitherto, he says,
the foundation on which dIpbnasey
rested was the doctrine of TIE absolute
sovereignty Of states, i dsctrine that
each state existed for itself alone, and
the chief task Of TIE diplomatist was
to help strengthen his own state By.
weakening the others and destroying
competition from them in his own
country and injure their trade and In
dustry an other countries.
"Now," says the ambassador, "a diff
feTent view prevails, and just as mod
ern political economists have over
thrown false economic dogmas like
that in regard to the mercantile system
and the supposed advantage Of possess
ing the largest stock Of the precious
| metals, SO the modern diplomatist must
discard the old diplomacy and instead
of separating nations bring them closer
| together, instead of sowing dissensions
among them introduce order, law and
justice for their mutual relations.

only adhered to diversifcation in all it's
forms. raising fruit, tomatoes and the
cereal and hay crops as well as some
cotton, but he has been investing some
money in other experiments, some of

has been almonds, he having put in
quite a. number of the young trees
about five years ago. The trees are
now well grown and are bearing fine
almonds, though not as large nor as
fine as the imported variety. The trees
bore few almonds last year and
many more this year, and by another

covery Of several hundred letters, by
two boys, who were hunting. The let
tiers purport to be a part of the con-

discovered piled up in an aid vacant
building about a mile and half from

torn open and their contents scattered
about. save a part of them. which
were piled in tiers, as if the thieves had
Systematically worked them.
Nothing OF value was found. The
drafts, which had been sent out by the
M. b. A. supreme office, about $4,000
worth of which We're in the pouch. were
not found. They are valueless, be-
cause the lodge has stopped payment
upon them.
At the time the pouch was stolen, it
contained 1.500 letters. Four hundred
of them belonged TO the NJ. b. A.
business. The pouch was taken about
1880 o'clock from a truck on the de-
pot platform, during an interval in
which the driver had visited the Of
