During these 24 years of his ministry, he was employed by the firm of Hudson Bros., 212 North Second street, and had given faithful service up to the time of his death. He oftimes made this remark, "I have no desire to burden my church," and he demonstrated that fact clearly by depending upon his own strong arm for the support of his family.

Over 100 Delegates in Attendance, Representing Grand Lodges of Many States. The International Congress of Colored Master Masons met at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning in Masonic hall, 18 South Tenth street. Over 100 delegates were in attendance, representing the grand lodges of Alabama, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Indian territory. Rev. E. W. Lanpton, grand master of Mississippi, offered prayer and led in singing. Grand Master A. R. Chinn, of Missouri, extended fraternal greetings to the visitors. Grand Master Chinn was chosen temporary chairman, and Grand Secretary J. H. Pelham, of Missouri, was made temporary secretary, J. Milton Turner, chairman of the grand lodge committee, delivered the address of welcome, to which J. W. Lewis, grand master of Louisiana, responded. J. W. Boon ("Blind Boon"), of Kansas, rendered several piano selections, and Prof. J. C. Corbin, of Arkansas, read a paper on "The Negro Free Mason of the Twentieth Century." At the opening of the afternoon session the committee on credentials reported 102 delegates, representing 14 states, two territories and the District of Columbia. Rev. E. W. Laupton, grand master of the state of Mississippi, who was recently elected financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal church, with headquarters at Washington, D. C., was chosen as permanent chairman. Grand Secretary J. H. Pelham, of Missouri, was made permanent secretary, and J. L. N. Smith, of Maryland, and E. J. Alexander, of Florida, assistant secretaries, and William McDonald, of Texas, treasurer The congress adjourned at 6 o'clock p. m., and reassembled in the form of a grand lodge of sorrow, with the following grand masters filling the stations: E. W. Lampton, W. M.; A. R. Chinn, deputy; J. H. Kenner, S. W.; H. L. Harris, J. W.; J. H. Dickerson, chaplain; Thos. A. Jordan, master of ceremonies; J. H. Pelham, secretary; Wm. McDonald, treasurer. The members of the congress were given a reception Wednesday evening at Bloemeke's grove, 6200 North Broadway COMPLETE THEIR WORK. No similar convocation of free-masons has ever been held, and in view of this fact, the congress adopted a resolution directing that the full text of the address of Grand Master A. R. Chinn, of Missouri, upon whose recommendation the call for the congress was issued by the Missouri grand lodge, be made a part of the records of the congress. Mr. Chinn said that the call for this congress was inspired by the effort of trans-Atlantic jurisdictions to bring about a world's Masonic league, similar to The Hague tribunal of arbitration, with a system of universal representation and recognition of charity, and a desire that the Negro Masons of America should get in line with this progressive movement. The features of the closing session were the reading and discussion of the report of the committee on charities, which showed that the 18 jurisdictions represented had collected nearly $5,000,000 during the past five years for charity. Prof. J. H. Pelham, of Hannibal, Mo., grand secretary of Missouri, read a paper on "Practical Masonry," embracing a comprehensive plan for uniformity in the ritualistic work of the order, which was ordered printed for distribution. The grand council of the Colored Scottish Rite Masons was convened in Masonic hall at 10 o'clock Thursday morning by Milton F. Shields, sovereign grand commander.

Smith, of Washington, D.C., is in St. Louis now to spend his vacation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Smith, of 3729 Vista avenue. Mr. Smith is a graduate of Sumner high school, class of '93. He took his post graduate course for college preparation under Prof. Waring and then entered Howard university, from which he graduated in 1902. He was immediately appointed to the chair of mathematics in the commercial department and made a member of the faculty of the school. Howard university opened a summer school for teachers this year for the first time, and Mr. Smith was given charge of instructions in mathematics. The summer work has somewhat delayed his visit, but it is now about over. He will be delighted to receive his many friends at his mother's home during his short stay in St. Louis. His long absence from his old home has in no wise abated his partiality for St. Louisans and he has lost no opportunity to look up and come in touch with those who go to Washington as students. Mr. Smith has always a word of praise for St. Louis, and we should be justly proud of one who with the intellectual weapons obtained from her educational armory, has battled his way to distinction in a distant city and a cosmopolitan institution. Will Meet in Sedalia. The order of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. will meet in Sedalia next Tuesday. They will leave vla Missouri Pacific railroad next Monday night. All the lodges and temples will be represented. S. P. PETTIGREW, Grand Master. W. H. HARRISON, Grand Secretary. BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO" BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. 'Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Topics OZONO. Eron-clad guarantee to do all that. Now, we ask you a plain question: $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with to all we claim for them?

LAID TO REST IN BELLEFONTAINE Remains of the Late George Graham Vest Interred at St. Louis. MANY PAID A LAST TRIBUTE A Large Cortege, In Which Were Many State and City Officials, Reported the Remaining to St. Louis, Aug. 12.—The body of George Graham Vest, former senator and Missouri's renowned statesman, now rests beneath the soil of the state he loved so well and served so faithfully during his lifetime. Never was a great man buried in St. Louis with simpler ceremonies, yet perhaps never was there such a course of the state's prominent men about a grave as when the remains of Senator Vest were consigned to his last resting place in Bellefontaine cemetery Thursday morning. It was 10:50 a. m. when the aged and white-haired preacher, Rev. John C. Shackelford, murmured, "dust to dust; ashes to ashes," and the earth was thrown upon the casket. Around the open grave were governors, former governors, United States senators, state senators, politicians, military men, state officials, leading citizens of St. Louis, members of the family of the great senator, society women of the state, and a host of the former friends of Senator Vest. The ceremony at the grave was the acme of simplicity. There was nothing more than the plain burial service of the Presbyterian church, the Lord's Prayer, and the benediction said by Rev. Mr. Snackelford. When the cortege, which started from Union station, reached the Vest family lot, which is located about 300 yards, from the south entrance of the cemetery, the mounted police, which had headed the procession, lined up facing the hearse. The massive casket was lifted from the car, accompanied by a salute from the police, and was borne by the pallbearers to the grave-side. The family followed immediately behind the body, and the governor's party came next. The massive black casket was placed in a quartered oak box, covered with evergreen, and lowered into the grave in the lot where other members of the Vest family rest. Then Rev. Mr Shackelford read the Presbyterian burial ceremony from the ritual. As the aged minister read the service for the body of Senator Vest, who had been his life-long friend--the two living just across the street from each other in Sweet Springs--the tears could not be kept back from his eyes, and before he had finished they were coursing down his cheeks, and there was not a dry eye in the throng. The service finished, Rev. Mr. Shackelford closed the book and repeated the Lord's Prayer, concluding with a prayer for the welfare of the soul of the dead statesman. He concluded with the benediction, and the earth was thrown into the grave, the people leaving as this was done. The service was very brief, but most impressive, by reason of the persons present. Not more than three-quarters of an hour were consumed at the cemetery. Over 300 attended the services at the cemetery. Only the burial service took place there, for the funeral services were conducted at the Vest homestead in Sweet Springs Wednesday. The caske* containing the remains of former Senator Vest was a most massive affair, of oak, covered with black broadcloth, lined with copper, and trimmed in heavy silver. It bore a small and inconspicuous plate. "George Graham Vest, December 6. 1830—August 9. 1904." The casket was very heavy, and the pall bearers had to be frequently relived at the station and at the cemetery. As soon as the men began to throw the earth into the grave the family left the cemetery, and the throng of people followed rapidly. The funeral was attended by a large concourse of people, about 300 being around the grave, and much genuine grief was manifested during the services. The keynote of the burial service of Senator Vest in St. Louis Thursday, and the funeral services at his home in Sweet Springs, Wednesday, was the same that has characterized his whole life—simplicity. He was a simple man in all his life, and was noted for his unaffected and homelike ways. To Meet Next in Toronto.

MISSOURI CROP BULLETIN. | AMAN IN ATREE. | Columbia, Mo., Aug. 9—The United States department of agriculture, climate and crop bulletin of the weath- a bureau, Missouri section, for the week ending August 8, 1904, says: | The past week was another fayora- ‘ble one for harvest work. The daily average temperature was about 2 de- | grees below normal. The nights were /unusually cool, especially during the latter part of the week. The rainfall was deficient, except in the southwest- ern, southern and most of the south- eastern counties, where timely and Reneficial showers occurred from the first to the fourth. Rain is now badly needed in portions of the northwest section, and in the central and north- east sections, except in some of the counties bordering on the Mississippi river. Wheat threshing is still in progress, but is nearing completion, with poor yields and inferior quality, except in the oxtreme coutheast portion of the state, where the yield and quality is re- ported to be fair. An average crop of oats has been harvested. ‘The prevailing dry weather has had an unfavorable effect on corn in the northwest, northeast and central sec- tions; the early planted is beginning to fire in portions of the central and northeast sections, and unless rain falls within a week the crop will be cut short. The crop continues fairly vigorous in the extreme southwest, southern and southeast counties, where timely and beneficial showers occurred on the 1st and 4th, practical- ly making the more advanced corn, which is in the ear and putting in good condition the late planted. Cotton is reported to be blooming and bolling nicely; fine showers fell in Butler and New Madrid counties dur- ing the first part of the week, but were light 2n@ scattered in Dunklin and Pemiscot counties; fields are generally clean and well cultivated. Hay harvest is about over; a fine cop has been secured and the greater portion of it has been stacked in ex- cellent condition. Garden vegetables and potatoes con- tinue to give fair yields. Sorghum is in fine condition. Apples continue to deteriorate, are dropping and are infested with scab Peaches of fair quality are on the mar- ket, and the crop as a whole is report: ed to be fair to good; grapes and other fruits are promising. GEORGE REEDER, Section Director. An Appeal From Dockery, Gov. Dockery has given out the fol- lowing statement relative to Missouri week at the World's fair, begianing August 21: “The management of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Co. having set ‘apart the week of August 21 as Mis- souri Week at the World’s Fair, I earnestly express the desire that the people of the state heartily- co-operate to make the attendance of the week the greatest of the exposition. Excep- tionally Jow transportation rates have been secured for the entire time. It $s unnecessary to commend the showing made both by the exposition company and by our own great state, They speak for themselves, ‘The exposition in {ts scope and magnificance is with- out precedent in all history. I there- fore renew the request for a great at- tendance of Missourians during the time set apart a Missourl week.” Cotton Mil for Carthage. Directors of tke $200,000 cotton mill to be built at Carthage have let the contract for the building to T. C. Thompson, of Birmingham, Ala:, for $44,250. ‘The structure will be of brick, and the capacity of the mill will be 15,000 spindles and 450 looms. tala ea aN joe aka After laying unconscious in a cistern for six hours, in Tuxedo, St. Louls county, Johf Jacobson managed to ex- tricate himself from his predicament Jaechson stepped on a loose plank that concealed the cavity. Charges Mece Vath Robbery. Miss Louise Brennan is in Jail at Clayton on the charge of stealing $100 from her uncle, who is now dead, as a result, it isesaid, of a broken heart, he haying suspected his niece of the theft. ‘Took Up Children's Quarrel, ‘As the result of a quarrel between the children of the two families, An- Grew Anderson was probably fatally shot in the chest by’ Louis Dralle in St. Louis. Found Dead Body in Car, While checking freight cars, in St. Louis, William Bresnahan, a clerk in the Burlington office, discovered the decomposed boay of an unknown man. Injuries Proved Fatal. W. C. McGeary, a “Katy” brakeman, who was injured in a wreck at Grave~ yard slough, north of St. Charles, died in St. Joseph’s hospital, in that city. eS ae eee eae: An unknown man was Killed by @ Missouri Pacific train at Sherman, St Louis county. The body was discov- ered beside the track by tramps. A MAN IN A TREE. Savage Bull Chaxex Joseph Stein metz ina Pasture Near Columbia. | Perched on the lower limb of a small tree, Joseph Steinmetz remained for four hours, while an angry bul! made ‘ineffectual ‘attempts to reach him. Steinmetz was going to Columbia from Sedalia, but since the strike of the telegraph operators began on the Katy system train service on that branch has been irregular. He failed to make connection at McBain, and de- cided to walk to Columbia, While cross- ing a pasture six miles south of Co- lumbia a» bull started after him. He attempted to outrun the animal and get outside the pasture, but was una- ble to do so and took refuge’ in a per- simmon tree, The tree was a small one, and Steinmetz could barely keep out of reach of the animai’s horns. ‘The bull would walk away from the tree, but just as the unfortunate man would prepare to descend and make a |dash for the fence the animal would [return and, failing to reach him would |viciously attack the tree with his ‘horns, Steinmetz remained in this ‘perilous position for four hours. | J. 8. Swink, the owner of the bull, |finally reseued Steinmetz, but not un- {til the captive had been gored by the infuriated animal. Steinmetz had his | sounds dressed after arriving in Co- i lumbia. "If Senator Francis Marion Cockrell could have foreseen when he was a ‘boy that the great city of the Missouri valley would be built at the junetion ‘of the Kaw and Missouri rivers, he might now be a multi-millionaire. On examining an abstract to a lot on ‘Tracy, between Thivwy-sixth and Thir- jty-seventh streets, R. J. Holmden, ‘made the discovery that Cockrell in }1847, when he was a boy of 13 years, owned eighty acres there and sold it for $900. ‘The lot which Mr, Holmden was looking up sold recently for $5,- 000. ‘This land, 640 acres of it, was deeded by the United States govern- meat In 1827 to Mlssourl for seminary purposes. In 1833 Joseph Cockrell, father of the senator, bought eighty acres of it from the state for $2.02 an acre. Mr. Cockrell died and in 1847, when Fran- cis Marion Cockrell was 13 years old, he petitioned the court, through his guardian, to sell the eighty acres. In his petition he stated that he al- ready owned a farm in Warrensburg sufficiently large for his needs when he should become of age, and, besides, he stated, the big storm of 1844, the year of the great flood, had blown down all the trees on his eighty-acre tract in Jackson county, and therefore it would be useless’ for him to hold it, ‘because when he would come of age the timber would be all dead.

The injured are: William Heigle, laborer, head smashed, will probably die; J. W. Smith, iabor- er, leg bruised; George Martin, head bruised and leg badly sprained; Jozeph S.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Caney Political Club. (7) Because it is fearless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. 60 THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The People's Choice for President. The Palladium is strictly a Republican paper, and thus for the Negro. Why? Because the Bible says: "Honor your father and mother. Now the Republican party is to the Negro what a mother and father are. Everything that we have come through that party and to-day all of our protection comes from that party. So we honor the persons that permitted us to enjoy life and liberty. Let the Republican party wage an aggressive campaign from one end of Missouri to the other. We have the most popular candidate for president that ever was—Roosevelt. Fairbanks for vice-president, C. P. Walbridge for governor of Missouri, John C. McKinley for lieutenant-governor. Let the Republicans wage a persistent fight, and victory will surely be theirs. Let the Republicans do their full duty, and we will retain congress and win in Missouri. We congratulate the Republican convention upon its wisdom in confirming the choice of the Palladium, Hon. C. P. Walbridge, as the candidate of the Republican party. We are confident that if the Republican state convention will now elect Mr. Niedringhaus as chairman of state committee, victory will be perched upon their banner, for several reasons: First, the Negroes of Missouri have not been organized since 1896, under the leadership of the best organizer in the western states, Hon. C. I. Filley. We are positive that with Mr. Niedringhaus, as chairman of the state committee, new life will be engendered among the Negroes of this state, and the leading Negroes will be enthused with new confidence. Mr. Niederinghaus has made a success of everything he has ever come in contact with. In his selection as chairman, will be another Mark Hanna of the west. FROM NEWPORT. Items That the People of That Town Should Read. Week before last one of the Newport gang was beaten nearly to death, and left lying in the street nearly all night, with three or four broken ribs. Robert Eaker, a barber, acted the "good Samaritan," in part, and gave him shelter, while Rey, Wm. Boyd and Pleasht Holly, a League member, completed the Samaritan act by securing the services of Dr. Kaiser, of Madison, Eddie Boyd and John Garret, Jr., finally took the sufferer to St. Louis, that he might get medical attention at the city hospital. The newly-organized A. M. E. church, of Newport, gave a barbecue August 4, which was well patronized by both white and Colored. The church cleared, it is said, about $40. I have always said that if the Methodists ever came into Newport there would be "something doing." Had this church been more careful as to pure Christian religion instead of just numbers, and simply money, it would have been a power in favor of morals and good works generally. But a bady class of people—not all, of course—though formed into a church, makes a sickly show for Christ. Is it that poor girl's fault that she is dragged down at the tender age of 15, a mere child, and is now in jail by the consent of her mother? Has not the home life of those who should have guided her by tender maternal care damned her? Has not and is not the whole course of Newport aided in this damning process of young people? Newport, I tremble for you! Does the newly-organized A. M. E. church feel edified by its young women members, recently baptized, but who should have never been members, nor baptized, running nude through Newport streets. Friday night, August 6? My poor, silly people, where will you let these money-seeking preachers lead you? They will lead you to hades (me, too, if they could), by quoting: "Let the wheat and tares grow together," just for the little lucre that is in it for them. I know those young people should have been thoroughly instructed in Christian ethics when they were herded into the church. I had had them in school, and I knew they had no religion. Those would-be preachers needed to get religion themselves. The teacher used to tell you girls in school to always walk away from quarrels. Shouting every time you go to church, then fight in church as you did Sunday! You ought "to go away back to the alley and sit down and stay down." Don't open those "bazoos" of yours, again on religion until you know what religion is. Keep your mouths shut about the saloon dance hall and conduct until you have religion enough never to fight and to use filthy language in church to one another. The saloon has "the red sorrel horse laugh" on you now. The teacher told you in school that you had no religion, and you haven't. P. S.—The preacher should see to it next time that the church, after its barbecue entertainment is over, cleans up the hall. Then his "brother" saloonkeeper and himself will not nearly lock horns on the verge of a fight. Go it, brother preacher, for I firmly believe you are in the devil's highway not to Heaven. But to —! IT'S UP TO VARDAMAN. The governor of Mississippi has a disgusting habit of making himself obnoxious to the general public whenever the occasion permits. His amity to an oppressed race is notorious, and if he has a soul, it is certainly controlled by the devil. And now it is charged that this alleged example of gallantry and honor is a common slanderer of women. The charge is made by no other than Postmaster General Payne, and on that account he has refused to name a post office in his honor. Gov. Vardaman is a typical southern fireater. Already the strong odor from the Jackson capitol has permeated the rest of the country. Now, however, in view of Mr. Payne's charges, the odor has become a vile stink. If Gov. Vardaman is innocent and an honorable man, let him disprove the charges. If he does not, respectable people will be justified in regarding him as a blackguard. Gubernatorial tyrants have not been so rare in this country that Gov. Vardaman is in a class by himself on that score, but unless he clears himself of the foul charge made against his character, he must expect the contempt of all who admire decency. Gubernatorial blackguards can not and will not be tolerated by the American people. A Warning. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 3, 1904. Brother Roy Blackwell, a non-financial member of Perseverance Lodge No. 1765, G. U. O. of O. F., departed this life the 27th ult. He was a faithful member of this lodge for more than 25 years, through neglect suffered himself to become non-financial, intending to square himself up. He waited too late. By an accident he was snatched from this life into eternity, a warning to brothers of the order, who suffer themselves to become behind in paying their dues. The lodge sympathizes with his widow in her sad bereavement. A Russian newspaper estimates that the Japanese have lost 23,000 men in the siege of Port Arthur. 9 C. H. TANDY. Will be heard through the state in the interest of the Republican party. FOOD FOR THOUGHT. Theodore Roosevelt will be our next president. Every Negro in St. Louis ought to read The Palladium. Let the republicans get together in Missouri, for the victory is ours if managed right. When you cast your vote, let it be for the party that gave you a ballot. Remember what the Democratic legislature tried to do in Missouri at the last session. All the rights and benefits the Negro now enjoy come through the Republican party. Every law that has been enacted against Negro manhood was by the Democratic party. The state committee met to-day to select a chairman are to indorse The Palladium's choice. In every state where the Negro has been disfranchised it was done by a Democratic legislature. Roosevelt will not close the door of hope and prosperity against the Negro. Why? Because he is a Republican. ```markdown ``` More Negroes were employed under the Walbridge administration than at any other time. Why? Because he was a Republican. ```markdown ``` It has been demonstrated that a snail travels but 200 yards in 50 years. The snail is clearly the Democrat of the animal kingdom. We admit that there are bad Republicans in the party, but the principle of the Republicans are not affected by these vultures. Forty-four years ago three million and a half of Negroes were slaves. Today they are free. Who did it? Of course the Republican party. One of the embarrassing features of the campaign is that every time a democratic leader shoots off his mouth he perforates some other Democrat. PETER H. HARRIS G. W. GAINES, National Grand Master of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. May be at the state Grand Lodge of Missouri, that will be held in Sedalia on next Tuesday. Quietly Married Mrs. Sallie F. Jones, of 1523 Pine street, was quietly married to Mr. Alonzo Ming, of the same number, Tuesday, July 26, 1904. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Dr. Pierce, at his residence, 209 South Fifteenth street. The bride is one of the leading members of the First Baptist church, also a member of the Ladies' Noon Day Social club.

The Indians pray for rain in their mystic ceremonials among the Cliff Dwellers at the World's fair. The less civilized people, the more material, are their wants, which they implore their deities to supply. Rain, rain, rain on the parched fields. Mokiland, in the far-off, painted desert of the Colorado, in Arizona, is, at this time of the year, the supplication that is wafted heavenwards by the Moki and Zuni priests, descendants of the ancient but now totally extinct Cliff Dwellers. Those that visit the World's fair be sure and visit these wonderful Cliff Dwellers on the Pike and see the snake dance. We will have more in next week. Watch the Palladium. SENT ON APPROVAL.

Akoun's Mysterious Asia and Empire of India, the Pike's Greatest Educational and Amusement Feature, World's Fair, St. Louis, Mo. While the various concessionaries at previous Expositions have endeavored to reproduce, as a midway attraction, the wonderful mysteries of the Oriental Eastern countries, it has remained for that typical ethnological artist, Mr Gaston Akoun, to bring before the visitors at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition an aggregation of the magnificent splendors of oriental life in the East, which for brilliancy, magnitude and active natural portrayal by means of real life exhibits has, undoubtedly, eclipsed anything in this line ever before attempted. Mr. Akoun, who is a Parisian by birth, has the advantage of former experiences at no less than twelve previous expositions, where his marvelous successes were continuously repeated, and as a successful caterer to an amusement-loving public his fame spread far and wide. The general plan embraces a most interesting representation of Asiatic countries, including faithful reproductions of the most historic and educational buildings of India, the Mahal Temple of Agra, the Rain Sipri of Almiadabad, street reproductions from historical Delhi, Calcutta, with its picturesque bungalows, and decorated buildings, grill workers, with their actual material, such as mosaic and ceramic panels, carved in inlaid wood. Bazaars teeming with commercial activity, with native vendors in the picturesque costume of their native country, form a part of the attractions. Ceylon, with its attractive tea houses and klosks, inside of which the visitors witness the process of drying and rolling tea, which is served by native Singalese in purely oriental fashion; Burmah, the land of white elephants, its idolatrous inhabitants, and the Golden Temple of Rangoon; Burmese musicians playing upon their peculiar native instruments, and Burmese dancing girls doing their fantastical and religious dances. A point of interest is Persia, the mysterious country of Asia, with its rug market, architectural buildings, caravans, sedan chairs, dromedaries, etc. In the bazaars are seen types of Persian traders showing the art of weaving rugs. There are brass chiselers, candy makers, fortune tellers and fakers displaying and selling their waters, consisting of silk-draperies, laces, ornaments, embroideries, jewelry and other articles seen in course of manufacture by natives. in course of marriages. In connection with this special amusement feature is a beautiful and conspicuous building erected in the original Oriental style of architecture, known as the Oriental Theater, where performers from the Oriental countries appear in numerous and amusing features. Nautch, Jar, Castanette and all characteristic national dances are given in oriental style of their respective countries. Grand paradees representing the Rajah and the gorgeous Durban festival take place hourly. On a gorgeously-caparisoned elephant, driven by Hindoos, holding heavy silver spears and attended by native musicians beating tom toms and playing upon flutes and other native instruments, the Rajah is seated in a golden-embroidered hoodah. Elephants carry skisols loaded with passengers. These are followed by a multitude of singing and shouting natives, riding in every description of conveyance typical of their native countries. The entire production cost over $200,000. For the past two years Mr. Akoun has had abroad special representatives in search of new attractions, and at considerable risk and expense, obtained the consent of the various tribal kings and rulers to allow their subjects to leave their native country. In the entire reproduction there are upwards of 750 people, including men, women and children. Continuous performances given daily from 10 a. m. to 11 p. m. NEGRO MASONS.

CHAMP CLARK WAS SPOKESMAN Judge Parker Responded, Accepting the Position of Standard-Bearer of the Democracy in the Coming Campaign. Esopus, N. Y., Aug. 11.—Judge Alton B. Parker was formally notified of his nomination as the candidate of the democratic party for president. The ceremony occurred on the lawn of Rosemount, his handsome country residence, and in addition to the members of the notification committee and many prominent men of his party, hundreds of the candidate's friends and neighbors assembled to witness the event. The weather was not auspicious. The sky was overcast and threatened a downpour, but in spite of these unfavorable signs it was decided that the ceremony should be held on the grounds instead of on the steamboat Sagamore, which brought the notification committee and its guests from New York. Before Representative Champ Clark had concluded his formal address, the rain began to fall fitfully but Judge Parker stood bareheaded in the shower and received from Mr. Clark's hands the official letter which informed him of the action of the St. Louis convention. There were no waiting the ceremonies. As soon as the little party reached the improvised stand, Mr. Clark began his speech. He said in part: "Judge Parker: The most momentous political performance known among men is the quadrennial election of an American president, the power of eighty million free people changes hands with simplest ceremony and most perfect order. While the contest for votes is wagged with earnestness and determination, the heat and bitterness—the ready acceptance of the result by the defeated is the surest anguity of the perpetuity of our nation." "Presidents come and presidents go, but the great Republic—freedipped with the hopes of the human race for liberty—goes on forever." "The president that a government bottomed on popular suffrage is a government by party. Experience shows that he serves his party best who serves his country." "Out of the masterly debates and profound deliberations of the St. Louis convention emerged a re-united party, which goes forth conquering and to conquer. The president, assemblied there to consult on the state of the country and to take measures for restoring the government to the principles enunciated by the fathers, which it has drifted far in these latter days." "The St. Louis convention carried out no cut-and-dried programme. Its delegates were not more automakers or marshals than when the strings were pulled by one man. "We enter upon this campaign with the strength which grows out of the union of a mighty party, with the eminence of a great organization that emanates from a righteous cause, with the confidence of men animated by noble purposes and lofty patriotism. There was a splendid array of predeceased alumni of the convention, supported by loyal friends and ardent admirers. You were chosen with such enthusiasm as foretells success. Having, on the only ballot, received the highest democratic usage, your nomination was made unanimous with the heartiest approval of your illustrious competitors. "Into your hands the democracy has communicated with you, finding in your stance, your integrity your honor, your capacity and your patriotism, believing that under your leadership we will achieve a signal victory. In your midst, according to a custom, appointed a committee—of which it did me the honor to make me chairman—to convey to you official information of your selection as the democratic candidate for president of the United States. "Speaking for the committee, with pleasure, for the this format, and for your nomination, together with a copy of the platform unanimously adopted by the convention. "In its name and by its authority I have the honor to request you to accept the nomination unanimously bestowed. "May the nomination find fruition in election. May the God of our nation decide, and as the chief witness both as candidate and as chief magistrate of the Republic." At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Clark handed Judge Parker the following: "Esopus, N. Y., Aug. 10, 1904. "To Hon. Alton B. Berger, S.C., the regular secretary of the S.C. accredited committee of the national convention of the democratic party, held at the city of St. Louis Mo., on the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th days of August, 1904, signed, have the honor, and it is our pleasure, to convey to you, as we now do, the official announcement of your nomination to the historic party of the people, as its candidate for the exalted office of the president of the United States, at the election of the president of the United States, so manifestly wise and appropriate that already the country has indicated its approval of it, and the most convincing annual indorsement by the American people at the polls. "Requesting your acceptance of this nomination, we are, with assurances of our high esteem and sincerest good wishes, "Yours respectfully. "CHAMP CLARK, Of Missouri, Chairman. It was also signed by all other members of the notification committee. Mr. Clark was enthusiastically cheered throughout his address and at its close was accorded an ovation which was merged into the reception extended to Judge Parker. Body of Man In a Well. Pleasant Hill, Mo., Aug. 11.—The body of a young man, with skull crushed and throat cut, was found in a well on a farm near Strasburg. The indications were that the body had been placed in the well during the winter. To Represent Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 11.—Mayor Neff has appointed Mrs. Nettie Camp Pemberton as Kansas City's represent- ative young woman in the celebration of Oklahoma City day at the World's tair, September 5. Before beginning his speech of acceptance, Judge Parker advised the crowd to get under the trees out of the wet. "We don't mind the wet," was the spontaneous reply. Judge Parker began his address at 2:18 p. m. Judge Parker's Response. Judge Parker, in responding, said in part: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Judge Parker continuing lauded the platform upon which the party appeals to the principles so well condensed in the first magnificent address of President Jefferson; referred to the limitations of official power of the state; referred to the three co-ordinate branches; to the manifestations of impatience of the restraints of law, leading often to the execution of mob law; to the struggles between the state and its enemies, often accompanied with violence resulting in loss of life and destruction of property. In this connection he said: "The state has the power to enforce in street observance of constitutional limitations, enforcement of law and order and rugged opposition to all encroachment upon the sovereignty of the people." The present tariff law," he said, "was unjust in its operation, excessive in many of its rates and so framed in particular profits from the people. So well understood has this view become that many prominent members of the republican party, and at least two of its state conspirators, have voiced the general sentiment on that subject. "So confident am I in the belief that the demand of the people for a reform of the tariff is just as important to the institution as democratic house of representatives and a democratic executive be chosen by the people, even a republican senate may heed the warning and consent to give at least some measure of control over the tariff." The combinations, popularly called trusts, which aim to secure a monopoly of trade in the necessities of life as well as in those things which are essential to the arm, the factory and in many other fields of industry, have been encouraged and stimulated by excessive tariff duties. All men must agree that the tariff is not such inequitable conditions, is most unfortunate for the people as a whole, and it would seem as if all ought to agree that the effective remedy would be to appropriately modify the offending law. "What is needed—in addition to the passage of a statute revising the tariff duties to a reasonable basis—is not so much that the office of an offender having both the disposition and the courage to enforce existing law. "The accident of war brought the Philippines into our possession and we are able to bear our沥筹. Inability which thus came to us, but that responsibility will be best subserved by preparing the islanders as rapidly as possible the governors, rapidly as possible the assistsmen that it will come as soon as they are reasonably prepared for it." "Ours is a world power, and as such must be supported, and do it all recently that the United States has attained that enmire. Our country became a world power over a century ago, when, having thrown the people of the country into a free government, the source of whose authority sprung and was continuously to proceed from the will of the people themselves. We are military people, bent on conquest, or engaged in extending our domains in foreign lands, or desirous of securing natural advantages, however great, by force; or a people living peace, by themselves, but for all purposes of the earth. "The display of great military armies may please the eye and, for the moment, excite the pride of the country the brains, brawn and muscle of a single immigrant, nor induce the investment here of a dollar of capital. Of course such armament as may be necessary for the defense of the country, home or abroad, must be maintained. Any other course would be not only false economy, but pusillanimous. "The most efficient work we can do in upbuilding countries is by the presentation of a happy, prosperous, self-governing nation as an ideal to be emulated, a model to be followed." "I would be the last man to pluck a single angel from the military heroes to whom this country owes so much, but I insist that their most heroic deeds proceed infinitely more from the country, than from the spiritual spirit. "Mr. Chairman: In most graceful speech you will represent the possibility, as well as the great honor, of the nomination bestowed upon me by the convention you represent this year, and the possibility, as well as the greatest-keenly appreciated that I am humbled in their presence, to accept, gentlemen of the committee, and if the action of the convention shall be indorsed by an election by the people, I will, God helping me, accept the office of that outstanding office the best service of which I am capable and at the end of the term retire to private life. I shall accept, for, nor shall I accept a remonition. "I make this statement, not in criticism of any of our presidents from Washington down, who have either held the presidency for too long, or succeeded themselves, for strong arguments can be advanced in support of the re-election of a president. It is simply my judgment that the interests of this country must now be what the questions presented are frequently of such overpowering magnitude to the people that it is indispensable to the maintenance of a befitting attitude before the presidency should be independent, but that that independence should be known of all men." After the ceremony, all crowded up eagerly to shake the candidate's hand and congratulate him upon his speech. The reception was continued on the veranda until after four o'clock, when the company broke up, and the visitors returned to their boats and trains. AS DUKE OF LANCASTER. King Edward to Make His Annual Visit to Marlenbad Simply as a Nobleman. London, Aug. 11.—King Edward started for Marlenbad, Bohemia, to take his annual cure at the baths. He travels incognito as the duke of Lancaster. The king's stay at Marlenbad will be entirely of a private character with the exception of the occasion of Emperor Francis Joseph's visit to him there August 13. Lesson in the International Series for August 14, 1904—"Obadiah and Elijah." 1. **Kings 18:1:16; Memory Verses, 13-16.** 1. And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Abah; and I will send rain upon the earth. 2. And Elijah went to shew himself unto Abah. And there was a sore famine in Samaria. 3. And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) 4. And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks; peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and the mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts. 5. So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it; Abah went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. 6. And Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him; and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah? 8. And he answered him, I am: go tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldst deliver thy servant into the hands of Ahab, to slay me? As the Lord thy God liveth, there is nation or kingdom, whither my hath not sent to seek thee; and they said He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. 11. And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 12. And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from the tree, that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry the tree whither it goes, and so when come I Ahab, and he will serve the Lord he shall say me; but I thy servant fear the Lord from my youth. 13. Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundred men of the lord's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water. 14. And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here; and he shall say me. 15. And Elijah said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to-day. 16. So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and he served the Lord with me, until Meet Elijah. THE LESSON includes the three verses following the lesson text, which give us the account of the prophet's interview with Ahab. There is no parallel in Chronicles. GOLDEN TEXT.—"I thy servant fear the Lord from my youth."—I Kings 18:12. TIME. About three and one-half years after the first appearance of Elijah to PLACE.—Probably not far from Mount Carmel, in the country northwest of Jezreel. Comparing Scripture with Scripture. The Prophet's Return: Note that: (1) It was timed by God; "after many days"—God always acts in "the fullness of time". Gal. 4:4; Eph. 1:10, etc. It was not for Elijah to know until God spoke. Remember Jesus' rebuke, Acts 1:7. (2) It was ordered by God. When God said "Go" it was safe for Elijah to return. The place of peace and safety is with God—Ps. 31:15. (3) It meant blessing. God in the person of His servant Elijah was to return to the land. God's withdrawal meant drought. God's return was to bring rain. God sends blessings when conditions permit. Ps. 86:5, 15. "I will send rain upon the earth." We talk flippantly of the weather the weather-forecaster gives us, and forget that nature is under God's control, and that He sends the sunshine and the rain. Jer. 14:22; Ps. 147:8. (4) Elijah found conditions changed. Ahab had been searching for the prophet with murder in his heart (v. 10); now he is seeking pasturages with anxious dread (vs. 5, 6). The famine had reached to the king's gate (v. 2). How the prophet's words when predicting the drought must have burned into his soul. How the consciousness of God must have been forced upon him. The long and terrible drought had subdued the willful spirit of king and people. It had gained for God a hearing.—Hosea 5:15; Ps. 78:34; 167:29. Meeting with Obadiah.—Obadiah was a Godly man (v. 3) in a Godless household, a man who served God in secret. How the wicked turned to the righteous in time of trouble. Obadiah went out seeking a spring of water, and he found the one whose prayer would bring abundance of rain. (John 7:37-39.) Obadiah's faithfulness won for him the honor of the first meeting with Elijah. But he was terrified at Elijah's command. Like many Christians to-day, the fear of man was upon him, and he forgot that the God who sent him would care for him. Meeting with Ahab—Elijah sent for the king. The prophet went to meet the God-fearing Obadiah, but he summons the wicked Ahab to come to him. Here is a suggestion of the dignity and majesty and power of God which will some day be manifested as he summons, before His throne those who now wickedly and rebelliously disdain Him. Matt. 25:32; Rom. 14:10-12. Note the two views of the situation. Ahab in hardness of heart and blind unbelief charges the prophet with troubling Israel. Ezek. 12:2; Isa. 6:9; Matt. 13:14. And even Jesus' disciples are sometimes troubled with blindness. Mark 6:52. But the prophet puts the blame where it belongs. Ah, how often the deceitful and wicked heart (Jer. 17:9) charges God with trouble and misfortune, when the fault lies at the door of one's sinful self. "Fear thou not, for I am with tree." Immanuel—"God with us." Matt. 1:23. Marvelous truth. The angels said to the frightened shepherds, "Fear not" for Jesus is come. Jesus said to His trembling troubled disciples, "Fear not" for it is I your risen Lord. And His message to the human heart is still "Fear not." Fear not, for He comes to save. He comes to help. He comes to bless. May He who speaks the message "Fear thou not, for I am with tree," hear faith's response from our hearts, "I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me."

Butler from South Carolina, was Senator from that state for two terms. In a recent letter from Washington, D. C., he says: "I can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble.

Hamilton Young, the veteran manager of the Western Union lines at the capitol in Washington, tells a story of the visit of the duke of Veragua to this country during the Chicago world's fair. The duke desired to stop at Columbus on his way to Washington and wanted to send a telegram to the mayor or informing him of that fact. He inquired at a telegraph office as to the cost, being a thrifty duke. "Twenty-five cents," the operator replied, "for ten words, not including address or signature." Whereupon the duke wrote this message: "Mayor of Columbus—I shall visit your city next Tuesday," and he signed it: "Cristobal Colin de Toledo y Larreategul de la Cerda Ramirez de Baquedancy Gante Almirante y Adelantado Mayor de las Judias, Marques de Jamaica, Duque de Veragua y de la Vega, Grande de España, Senor del Reino, Cabellero de la insigne orden del Tolso de Oro, Gran Cruz de la Conception de Villavicario, Gentil Hombre de Camara del Rey de Espana."—Saturday Evening Post.

London Black and White. OLD FASHIONED But Still in the Fashion. It is an ever new and interesting story to hear how one can be entirely made over by change of food. "For two years I was troubled with what my physician said was the old fashioned dyspepsia. "There was nothing I could eat but 20 or 30 minutes I would be spitting my food up in quantities until I would be very faint and weak. This went on from day to day until I was terribly wasted away and without any prospects of being helped. "One day I was advised by an old lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream, leaving off all fatty food. I had no confidence that Grape-Nuts would do all she said for me, as I had tried so many things without any help. But it was so simple I thought I would give it a trial, she insisted so. "Well, I ate some for breakfast and pretty soon the lady called to see her 'patient,' as she called me, and asked if I had tried her advice. "Glad you did, child, do you feel some better?" "No,' I said, 'I do not know as I do, the only difference I can see is I have no sour stomach, and come to think of it, I haven't spit up your four teaspoons of Grape-Nuts yet." "Nor did I have any trouble with Grape-Nuts then or any other time, for this food always stays down and my stomach digests it perfectly; I soon got strong and well again and bless that old lady every time I see her. "Once an invalid of 98 pounds I now weigh 125 pounds and feel strong and well, and it is due entirely and only to having found the proper food in Grape-Nuts."

Chiefly because of the elevation of the country, the absence of large iakes and rivers, and the operations of the “Chinook” or Pacifle ocean winds, which readily eross the Rocky moun- tains in southern Alberta through gaps and passes, the southwestern portion of the Canadian provinces is regarded as omewhat arid, and less fertile than other portions of the country. _Al- though this has been a prevailing idea in the east, it has been left for American settlers who have invaded this district within the past two or three years to prove that splendid crops of grain can ve grown on the land which had hitherto been the feeding ground for the herds of cattle and bands of horses that ranged here That ranching is carried on most suc- cessfully in other portions of the prairtes west, just as agriculture is to a limited extent conducted successfully within this boundary, is fully established, but taken as a whole it constitutes a terri- | 2 eer ae Me aR AUN a ee See a ee Ei St I SAS oe oe ee MS US, ae peta we Tg ee ee Se ae Bee ee ee Ge ROSNER A NE MaTs vont cee. ort oc oegrentianaal serrata vt Sa es ee ee A HERD OF CANADIAN SHORTHORNS. tory above all others most admirably adapted to this particuar industry. The buffalo, bunch and other grasses that grow in profusion in this district and retain their nutritive properties the year round, and the moderate climate of mid-winter rendered such by the Chinook winds preventing any consid- erable depth of snow at any time, espe- cially fit the district for the peculiar methods of the rancher—raising his herds the year round in the open coun- try. While there are no large lakes or rivers in this whole country there are numerous fast-running streams fed the year round by melting snows in the mountains furnishing an abundance of the coolest and purest water, the best for beast as well as man. The country has at once an abundance of the best of food and drink the year round, a clear sky but little wet or stormy weather and a favorable climate the year through. Englishmen and Americans in the western territories are bringing in their herds as fast as they can and leasing or purchasing land in lots from 1,000 to 20,- 000 acres from the Dominion govern- ment. An idea of the growth of the industry will be gathered from the fact that in 1899 there were but 41,471 head of cattle shipped and sold from the ranches, these figures ran to 55,129 in 1900, and to 160,000 in 1903, averaging $40 per head for the owners. But it takes a great many ranchers and alarge number of cattle to cover an area of 200,000,000 acres, the area available for ranching in the Canadian northwest. It is not at all necessary that large in- vestments should be made at the outset. Many men commenced with small cap- ital and small herds, and have worked themselves into large herds and great wealth. ‘There is still in the country plenty of room for those who desire to go and do likewise. Second Part. ‘The second part of the Canadian prairies embraces'the great wheat grow- ing belt of the country which is easily a half larger than any other in the world. It includes about 150,000,000 acres. As it istomparatively free of broken land, large lakes and rivers, about 125,000,000 ‘acres of it can be brought under the plow. Placing a farmer on every half- section (320 acres), it can comfortably Tocate $00,000 farmers or 4,000,000 of an agricultural community, A glance now at what, the farmers of the territories are doing will give a better idea of what can be done in this great wheat-growing zone, The territorial government re- ports show that'in 1903 there were raise 16,629,149 bushels of spring wheat off of 837,234 acres, an average of 19.04 bushels per acre; off 440,602 acres of oats there were grown 14,179,705 bush- eis, an average of 32.17 bushels per acre; 69,667 acres produced 1,741,209 bushels of bariey—24.65 to the acre, and 32,431. acres produced 292,855 bushels of flax seed, 9.03 to the acre. As but 1,383,434 acres or a little better than one per cent. of the entire wheat-growing area of the territories was under crop, a little fig- uring shows 13 per cent. of the entire country under wheat will raise the 209,- 000,000 that Great Britain annually re- quires from outside countries. It must not be supposed for a moment | that while this part of the country is outlined as the especially favorable dis- | trict for wheat growing, tt is not good for mixed operations as well. It is be- cause it is level, has a sufficient rain- fall every year, plenty of snow in the winter for moisture in the early spring and favorable climatic conditions the year round that it is specially marked for this branch of husbandry. In this part of the country wheat is ‘king, and here it is raised in the great- est possible perfection by a combination of soil and climate in its favor, and the tendency has been to neglect the more laborious branches of’ husbandry for which the country is equally well adapted. As if to cope with the offerings of na- ture, the railway companies are ready with their railways to haul the grain as soon as it is relieved from the straw in the fields by the threshers. Throughout this entire belt'there is an enormous length of railway mileage, branches are radiating in every direction from the trunks until they scarcely leave a grain field more than six or seyen miles from a road, and they are all required, for in the fall and early winter the sight of the trains passing to and from the elevatorg at the railway depots makes the entire country look like one hive of industry. Free Homestead Lands. There is yet a large quantity of government land for homesteading in this country, and as in everything else “the early bird catches the worm.” Those who come first are first served. When It is preferred to purchase railway or other company lands they can be got at from five dollars'per acre up. This section can- not be better closed than by show- ing practically what is made by wheat growing in this district. ‘The average from the first of operations is 20 bushels per acre. Breaking the prairie, as first piowed is called, is of course an exceptional expenditure, as when it is once done it Is done for all time. This costs about $3.50 per acre. After the breaking, plow- ing and seeding, harvesting, threshing and marketing, all expenses combined amount to about $5.25 per acre; that is, if a man has everything done it will cost him $5.25 per acre, If he does the work himself he is earning wages while producing at that fis- ure. Now as the average yield is 20 bushels, and the average price 60 cents —$i2 per acre—the difference between the result and cost, $6.75, is the:profit of grain growing year in and year out in the great wheat belt of the Canadian prairie country. If a man has a half section of land and puts half of it, 160 acres, under wheat, which is a very common occurrence, he makes $1,080 on wheat alone and should make if he is a capable farm- er enough out of cther crops, sale of cattle, dairy and other products to keep himself and family the year round besides. The Third Division. The third division of this great country lies to the north of the wheat belt, between it and what is known as the forest country. As wheat growing implies the raising of all cereals, that can profitably be raised in the country, the remaining branches of mixed farming are dairy- ing and the raising of farm stock. It must not be supposed that dividing the prairies in this way is. saying that any one portion of the country pos- sesses better soil than another, for such is not the case—all districts aro equally fertile, but the topography and climatic influences differ, as well as the conditions for production, Ranching and grain growing are car- ried on quite successfully in this northern zone; but it is found moro profitable to combine all the features of the industry. On account of the land being more broken than in the southern district, though the soil ts equally fertile, there are not the same opportunities for extensive operations; and while cattle raising is as profitable here as elsewhere, different methods have to be adopted for their protec- tion, especially in the winter season. An authority on the subject has stated that agriculture in any coun- try never reaches the minimum of development until the farmers engage at least proportionately in dairying, though the surroundings must always determine the extent to which any feature of the industry may be prose- cuted. It is certainly then that if the agricultural possibilities of this portion of the prairie country be esti- mated by its adaptability to dairy farming even the most skeptical must acknowledge they are unsurpassed in any country in the world. As inti- mated aboye, even dairying may be successfully carried on in any corner of the territories, but this zone hus everything to recommend it as the ideal spot for this branch of the busi- ness. ‘The mining districts of British Columbia, which consume an immense lot of dairy products, are close at hand and always afford a good mar- ket for butter, cheese, pork, poultry and egg3. ~ LETTE TE Te ‘Uncle Sam’s Great Land Possessions. ‘The area of the United States is 3,025. 600 square miles; with Alaska itis 2,602, 990 square miles, equal to the area of all Europe, with Italy and Turkey ex- cepted. ‘Texas, its largest state, is 212 times the size of Rhode Island. Texas might invite every man, woman and child now living in the world to settle within its territory, offering each in- dividual a plot of ground 49% feet by 100 feet. ‘The state would not be really crowded, for each individual would have four times the space taken by each person in New York city. Eng- land, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy and Portugal could be transplanted to ‘Texas and there would still be room for @ good-sized promenade made where curious Americans could walk while studying this bit of Europe. Three of the cattle ranches of Texas cover as much territory as the Sandwich islands, which we were to annex four years ago. —William George Jordan, in Ladies’ Home Journal. des ern ene Samuel Maxim, a brother of the famous Hiram, inventor of guns, lives in the little village of Wayue, Kennebec coun- ty, Me., and is himself an inventor. cme time ago his attention was called to the fact that both India and Japan have produced swords that will cut through a gun barrel without losing their edge. This led him to study old Hindoo literature on the subject of steel manufacture, and then to begin at Wayne a series of experiments which soon resulted in the production of a small quantity of steel possessing a re- markable temper. From these few ounces of nteel he had one or two drills forged, and with these he was able to drill holes through an ordinary file without damaging the drills at all. He has not yet made any steel for sale, nor does his process at present always pro- duce the desired results,—National Re- corder, a Despite the fact that Russia is the largest grower of hemp and flax in the world and possesses an unlimited sup- ly of the cheapest labor, the industry Tras not developed according to expeetar tion, one of the principal reasons being unscientific cultivation and prepara- tion.
