Bird Slaughter.

1t is estimated that TO supply the
plumage for ladies'hats and other de-
corations demands the sacrifice yearly
of 300, 100000 birds. Paris milliners re-
ceive annually about 10000 sea gulls
Last year London house so we learn
from a Paris paper supplied $4,000
humming birds 10000 sea birds of va
rious species. Nothing need be said
as 10 the loss TO agriculture by the
indiscriminate destruction of birds and
in some countries certain species have
ceased 10 exist. Among them are
included the Labrador duck, tho Auck-

Differ But Don't Argue.

1t is only Anglo-Saxons VINO feel that
it is not necessary TO fight merely be-
cause they widely differ. This truth
was stated by man of vast expert
ence in countries of The world.
If it is true in political and moral
sense why couldn't it be maxim 10 be
studied by all of us?
Much of the friction of life much
of the bitterness and unjust criticism
could be avoided by keeping TO tho
truth of this statement.
Why argue win any on who officers
from us? What good does it do?
What court of high appeal is there 20
prove hat we are in hte right and ahat
others are in the wrong.
That woman is to be dreaded as u
friend a relative or a companion who
goes through life trying 10 cpnwnoe and
convert every one who thinks differ
emily from her on any question, from
cookery TO calculus.
This is an utterly different frame
ofmind from the one one that makes
us feel We are right in what We think
and in what we do. The world would
be mighty feeble place 10 live in, and
rapidly disintegra,e if every one of
us born into it didn't have an opinion
and could be relied upon TO stick 10
1t.
1t is all right TO have conviction,
right or wrong, and 20 believe that i.
is right bause it is yours but Jhtere
is no excuse or pallialion for the fault
OF tilJing a lance at every one who
thinks another way.
If two women see different sides of
an affair there is no reason why they
should come to bitter words about it
drop into personalities and each so
off and call for help.
1t is always in the power of one
woman to keep a difference Of opln-

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Aug7.-The
wherewithal with which 10 conduct
the Democratic campaign was the mo-
mentous question under discussion al
Fairview to-day. 1t has been fully
realized that properly conducted
car lpaign requires adequate funds 70
pa the legitimate expenses, but the
pu stion of who is TO put up the mon
ey is one which has been the subject
of more or less discussion ever since
the nominations at Denver were made
While it is admitted that from n
number of sources individual contri-
buttons of considerable size will be
made the decision has been reached
that the bulk o. the fund is expected
to come from the masses.
A sum not less than 100000 is re-
garded as necessary 10 meet expenses
of the campaign.
The matter was talked over at great
length to-day by Mr.. Bryan with for
mer Senator r. F. Petigrew, of South
Dakota, member of the Finance Com
mitttee, and tonight with Gov. C.. n.
Haskell Treasurer of the Democratic
National Committee.
The decision was reached that the
Finance Committee should meet in
Chicagonext Mondayand at once on
ter upon the work of organization and
of perfecting plans for raising the nee
cessary means for the campaign.
Mr.. Pettigrew came to Fairview di-
rect from New York, where he was in
conference with Chairman Mack and
other leaders of the party.
Not all the Democrats | met" said
Mr.. Pettigrew, will support Mr.. Bry-
an but their detection will have no eff
feet on the recult because the Demo-
Gratis are nearre together than ever
before. New York is certainly Demo-
cratic this year.
81 found many Democrats of great
wealth who heretofore were opposed
30 our candidates but this year they
are with us. These men who acquired
their money honestly intended to lend
financial aid to our cause"
As the result of the visit of Mr.. Pet
tigrew, which lasted about the entire
day it was disclosed hiatt Mr.. Bryan
still another change in
his program. The plan now is that
following his speech at Topeka he will
proceed direct to Mitchell, S ID. at
which place he will deliver an address
onAugust 30.

this CAN BE CALLED
The NICOTIAN Age.
Smokers Burned Over Eight Bill
ion Cigars During the
Year 1907.

\ new question is presented for the
consideration of sociologisis. A large
part of the country mas been swept
by wave Of prohibition of traffic in
intoxicating liquors. il is alleged
though not proved hat here is some
occult connection between the liquor
habit and the use of tobacco. VIII
prohibition affect the tobacco trade.
Recent years have seen an astonish-
ing increase in the consumption OF
cigars. In round figures the smokers
of the United States burned 5000, 000,-
900 cigars in 1900 and S,j00,O00 900 in
1907, a 40 per cent increase in seven
years. During the same term the con-
sumption of cigarettes has doubled.
Taking a longer period il appears that
about 1,0OO,000000 cigars supplied the
requirements of the country in 1870.
Therefore in single generation dur
ing which the population of the coun-
try has a little more than doubled the
consumption of cigars has increased
more than eightfold. In 1870 the con-
sumption of cigarettes was compare
lively small. About 5,3OO,OOO,OO0 "cof-
fin nails" were burned in this country
last year.
If the present pace continues the
twentieth century will go down in his
tory as the nicotian age. The domes-
tic tobacco crop of 1896 was valued
at s24,2jS,OO0 The crop of 1900 was
valued at S53,661 600 and the output
OF 1907 al 1924, 900. These are values
of the leaf as a farm product only. In
1896 the total product was 100000, 900
pounds. From 1900 10 1903, inclusive
the average output exceeded 5000, 900
pounds. The next four years show a
decrease of a little more than 10 par
cent in quantity bun materar advance
in total value. The import figures are
are even more striking. In 1898 our
bill for imported tobacco including leaf
and cigar was less than $10,O0O,000. In
1907 it was not far from 500 .OOO,OOO.
In 1898 we imported 1O,OO0,OO0 pounds
of leaf tobacco, and in 1907 10000, 900
pounds.
The prob EN- is this: VIII thirsty
humanity deprived OF its wOn.ed mos
ture turn for solace 10 tine weed and
sill further increase It's production
and consumption or will those who are
deprived OF their tipple by legal bar
r.ers lose ,hat craving for oh2"co
which many good people regard as an
ever attendant handmaiden of The De-
mon Rum? About 100 cigars and 60
cigarettes besides plug mixtures, fine
cut and snuff is now The yearly por-
for every man, woman and child in tn
country.

SHIPPERS fight
With WHALE.
Revolver Shots Failed to Stop Big
Mammals Attact on
The Vessel.

From the deck of the little coating
steamer Coos Bay Captain James Bow
en- waged battle with a
mammoth whale while is yess
was off Cayucos on the way
up h coaset. The whale was OBJ
sreved making straight for the steam
and Bowen was Obliged to put his
vessel upon a different course 20 avoid
collision with the mammal. Even this
action of the skipper did not suffice
to keep the Coos Bay out of danger.
and drawing a revolver the Captain
opened fire upon his enemy.
Twice he emptide the contents of the
revolver's chambers, but he leaden
missiles apparently had little effect up
on the vessel. Finally in a last effor.
to escape from the whale The skipper
of 1.-THE steamer ordered full speed
ahead, and gradually he Coos Bay
kept ahead of her pursucr..
Speaking of the experience shortly
after the Coos Bays arrival in port
one member of the crew said:
For some moments it looked like
the whale would surely hit us, and
considerably exciyemen was caused
aboard the ship. The mammal was all
of 100 feet long and seemed of a par
ticularly vicious species.
Even when Captain Bowen dischars
ed his revolver at it the whale kept
coming after us although the water was
dyed with blood. But for the fact the
old Coos Bay was able 10 crowd on a
little steam we would have come into
port with some scars where the whale
hit us with his flukes.
The first time we caught sight Of
the whale was off Cayucos and it kept
following us right along the coast
sometimes almost abeam of the ship
and but a hundred yards Off"

The Gardeners Early Work.

Not much is done in the gardening
line on the average farm in February
but those who make a business o.
market gardening are actively getting
their hotbeds ready and planting will
vegetables to be forced for the early
market. In the Boston district lettuce
and radishes are the main reliance for
this purpose in the early hotbeds. Lat
er tomato plants and cucumbers are
started to be set in the ground at the
approach of warm weather. Cabbages
for the early crop are planted about
the middle of February. Tomatoes in
tended to be transplanted In the open
ground are not planted until the very
last of the month, but some are planted
early when intended to be transplant
ed into greenhouses.
In sowing seeds some very fine earth
should be planted free from Jumps and
pebbles. They may be started in boxes
in warm room in a house If desired,
although they will not grow so fast as
in a hotbed.-American Cultivator.
