THE NEXT CONGRESS.

The congress Of the United States which will follow that which con-. cludes it's services next March, will be of a vastly different makeup. As a rebuke to policies and legislation which have been put into operation during the past year, the people have seen it to make extensive changes in their representatives.
 In the present congress the demo- crats are in full control of the national legislature, having in the senate g majority of ten, while in the house there is the overwhelming majority Of 14o. There have been great inroads made into this situation, however. for while the senate may show a gain of one or two the house discloses a de- crease to the low level of 23, a close figure for that large body, and which may even yet be further decreased by the districts which are yet to render their complete vote.
 The defeat Of large number of the members of the house and the re- turn of many former members of con- gress shows the widespread feeling which has been manifested against democratic legislation. The retention of majority by the democrats still leaves them in control of both branch es of congress. but the action of the people cannot fail to make its inn pression even upon that body. It means a halt to the harmful pro- gramne which has been followed. The demands Of the people and the vel fare of the country are likely to get attention before rushing headlong tc the support of theories. The increase in the republican delegation is bound to have it's good influence in the next congress even though the number is insufficient to control. It will furnish the balance wheel which congress needs.

It is an interesting point made by John Redmond in his latest address to the Irish Nationalists in which he declares: Ireland would be hurnili ated if after the war it had to be ad- rnitted that the safety and liberties o1 Ireland had been guarded by the sac rifices of other men, while Irishmen remained at home and took none of the risks"

Did you ever see 1t in reaping timer A
sea of gold II is, with gentle pillows tell

glorifies and breeze cradles them to the

like islands in the shining yellow sea, ore

sometimes only like barebaclked domestic

lying in vast gamers by the railway lines
awaiting transportation east and west

Agriculture in Peru.

BY Peter MacQueen, in National Magazine
-. for July.
The tiIling of the soil is done in the
crudest way, not only in Peru but
throughout the whole Of South Ameri-
ca. Outside of the wheat fields of the
Argentine, the methods would not do
credit to the Egyptians in the day OF
Rameses. In fact. the bull plow, as Il
Is used in Peru today, dates back to
the kings Of the first dynasty Of Egypt
The plow, the Peruvian spade, and the
grub hoe, which latter Is simply a
crooked stick with an iron shoe, are the
three implements OF agriculture in Peru
today. No implement Is found to
crush the hard Jumps OF ground In the
plowed fields. This is done by the
women and children with a short club
like ball bat, Corn is planted by
using sharp stick to- make a hole in
the ground. Then the kernel Is dropped
In the hole and covered by push OF
the bare foot on the softened earth.
Rain is not a necessity in these val
leys; the natives have made admirable
irrigating bitches that convey an
abundance OF water to every portion
OF the cultivated fields. The water
moistens the roots OF the corn from
day to day, or turned into the bitches
that follow the cane fields IT becomes
a potent factor in the luxuriant growth
