THE TAP ROOT OP PROSPERITY. Since farming has been made a science and each state has provided itself with an agricultural college, we hear no more of the old cry that the cheap and rich lands of the west are driving the farmers in other parts of the country to the wall. The advantages of nature are already more equally distributed. since the farmers have come to acknowledge brains as an asset in their industry. They have been developing their crops and seeking more profitable products to an extent that shows itself very visibly In results.

According to Sec Wilson, since 1890 the eastern farmers are rehabilitating themselves by means of dairies, buckwheat, rye and potatoes, sweet and white. The south has gone in for corn, wheat, sweet potatoes, cane and sorghum Sirup, cattle, farm-made cheese, tobacco and butter. It thus results that agriculture in all parts of the country La more profitable than ever before. According to the figures of the last census, three-eighths of the working population of the country draw their livelihood from agricultural pursuits, and their condition was certainly never better than today. We can hardly say as much for those engaged in manufacture.

The late curtailment of industry has already caused the laying of of thousands of hands in the New England textile industries, and upwards of 80,000 in the mineral industries of the country, besides 20000 railway bands and thousands more in other pursuits. It is poor consolation to these discharged men to learn that the treasury department estimates the amount of money now in circulation for each man, woman and child in the United States as 830., an amount never before reached.

He has no time to think of fear, Or talk of pluck or nerve, With danger always lurking near In every lurching swerve. The swaying lamps make shadows dim To taunt Ma straining eyes; The jolting car makes mock of As madly 011 It flies. It may be north, soutb, east, or west The mail must burry through.

And white above the rolling sack You see his toil-smudged face. So, day and night, the postal clerk Goes, fighting time and sleep. He only does his country's work And countries hire men cheap.

GOOD STORIES. quiries. all with a suave. defereatia manner that often puzzled the speaker to know whether Mr Springer was earnest or only "SuYing. Owing to his long service in the house the Mine Waxes mind was well stored with precedentS for all occasions, and the knotty problems that he frequently offered the chair for solution were generally based upon a genuine transaction In an old copy of the Congressional Globe which Mr Springer had stored away La his desk.

It was said of Mr Springer that he never lost an opportunity to do a mem- ber a favor. This compliment was not to be construed as meaning that he went in for all the logrolling schemcbs that were presented to the house. In the main his assistance to hiS colleagues was of a friendly, perzional nature. and made his popularity Very substantial. "The gentleman from Illinois wilt take his seat!" cried Speaker Reed On0e, desperation as the plucky Iflinolsan waa reading from book after book to show the speakers blunder.

"I will not take MY seat and there is no rule of the house by which the speaker can make me take it," was the answer, and Mr Springer kept on reading and kept on talking till the speaker, In sheer desperation, consented to discuss hls 4IXtraordinary ruling, which was Just aghea Mr Springer had insisted should bedone. "Always on his feet and always fight-1 incr." were the words in which a devoted friend eulogized him. Of active, nervous temperament, he was always inthe forefront of every hotly contested battle. He was chairman of the committee oft the whole during the great tariff eebatol in 1888. having been an active proznoterj of tariff reform since 1882.

It was dur-I ing the famous discussion of the 31111111 bill, and while the debate lasted Me Springer was virtually speaker of the house. During that momentous time bit fitness and ability as a parliamentarian were put to a severe test, but the chairman was never found lacking. In his concluding speech Mr Springer devoted a great deal of attention to the wool clause in the bill, and his treatment of it was deemed by his party a masterly andaunanswerable argument He was a candidate, with Representaa tires Crisp and Mills, for speaker of the 52d congress in 1891, but withdrew in favor of Mr Cristo, who, after his eleo- Can, appointed Mr Springer of the committee on ways and means, to succeed William McKinley. It was quite generally believed that. In making up his committees in the 63d congress.

Speaker Crisp would appoint Mr Springer to his former place cn the ways and means committee, and his transfer to the committee on nonking and currency, and the appointment of Representative Wilson to the chairmanship of the committee on ways and means were among the surprises of to extra session of the rad congress. He introduced a bill Jan 28. 1895, authorizing the secretary of the treasury to sell gold bonds in order "to maintain a sufficient gold reserve and to redeem and retire notes." With some amendments, this bill became law, and Is now in force. It was of immense importance in the process of putting the country on a gold basis. Since March 4, 1396, the district bas been represented by little-known republicans.

As chairman of the committee on territories, he made many friends and some enemies. He was the author of the act organizing the territory of Oklahoma, of that creating a Judicial system for Indian territory, and of that admitting Washington, Montana. North and South Dakota as states into the union. The town of Springer, M. was mined for him.

He felt it his duty to sidetrack the applications of Dakota for state hood for many years, and. as he Was the brains as well as the chairman at the committee on territories. this pro- duced a very unanimous opinion of him 1 in the minds of the people of As a prominent Dakotan remarked. "our opinion of him can only be expressed by means of a rope and a tele- graph pole." Mr Springer was never seen In public or private life denuded of his freshly plucked red boutonniere, which his wife pinned In his lapel every morning. It was the oritlamme of war of the democrats while he was in congress.

He had the back and hips of a Corbett, and In his youth must have been very. strong. He bad snapping black eyes and a gris- sled full beard. He was appointed Judge for the northern district of Indian territory ana chief Justice of the court of appeals of that territory In 1E95, serving until 1900, when he resumed the practice of law in Washington. His home, 43 St.

looked out upon the capitol grounds. On Dec 15, MO, he married Rebecca Ruter. She is an author of ability, a college graduate in 1850. She has published three novels, a volume of poems and many magazine articles. Their only son was born about 41 years ago.

It seems a trifle ungenerous for Dr Morgan Dix, pastor of the richest church In America. to berate women as he did in his late Thanksgiving sermon.

which has created a sensation throughout the country. because she is "copying the ways of men in industry." and be longs for those "high standards" which characterized our colonial womanhood. When the competition of women with men in industry is put in its worst light the women are more sinned against than sinning. In Germany they work hodcarriers. Why? Because the inquitous militarism of the country makes perpetual scarcity of men.

If women compete with men in "manlish" pursuits it is in the great of cases because matrimony Teates gaps in the usual order of things ind compels it. There is a great list of industries which are specially "livoman's work." tnd the men who complain are often in unjust competition with he women. Why should women not rganize into labor unions like men? Is his the "sphere of men." too? As for those women who smoke WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT. I. 4.:.

Oneida Community. Martha Saville. LynnThe Oneida community was a society practicing a community of wives as well as goods. founded at Oneida Creek, T. by John H.

Noyes (1S11-1888) in 1S48. The organization soon numbered 110 members. living on thoroughly communistic principles. The community was also known as free lovers. perfectionists and Bible communists.

Owing to the pressure of outside opinion, the peculiar practices of the organization were greatly modified; marriage was introduced; community of goods was abandoned; property was divided; and reorganization effected as a Joint stock company under the laws of the state. Since IS81. the "Oneida community" bits been simply a business corpoe raticu. Igarettes drink cocktails in fashionable estaurants and do other mannish things, hey belong in such circles as Dr Dix isually preaches to, and if such women re deteriorating the old "high stenLard" of womanhood they cannot be meached down too emphatically.

I A simple, inexpensive and very efildent form of still, suitable for classroom and amateur purposes especially, is shown in the accompanying cut. The vessel in which the liquid to be distilled is heated is a quart fruit jar.

A jar with an all-zinc top must be used and the porcelain disk be broken out. The distillate tube is a piece of half-inch tin lined lead pipe about three feet long One end of the tube, curved at an acute angle with the long section, is fitted into a hole made through the top of the zinc cover, and soldered to the cover. This tube is passed through a tube made of tinned iron, or other sheet metal, about 2 feet long and two Inches In tliameter. The ends of the large tube are closed about the smaller one by passing the latter through holes In stoppers fitted to the ends of the large one. The large tube has short lateral tube at its ends.

This arrangement will allow water to run; into the large at its lower end and out at its upper end. The condensing may be more simply done by wrapping the tube with a strip of loosely-woven fabric, adjusting it in an inclined wooden trough and letting cold water run slowly upon its upper end, or the condensing will be more complete and rapid if cold water be allowed to drop upon the pipe at places two or three inches apart throughout Its length from a vissel supended above it The bottom of the fruit jar should be covered with a piece of wire window screen to distribute the heat. A woven-wire hood or cap may be made for this purpose. to easily silo On and off the jar by properly folding a piece of the screening about 6 inches square. The heating Is best done with an ordinary kerosene lamp, as a gas or an alcohol flame might break' the jar.

The flame should be low at first, and the heat increased slowly. I have the condenser of my apparatus attached to the woodwork of a window. The lamp is supported on a shelf at- i taehed to an adjacent wall. The jar is supported by the cap, soldered as above stated to the end of the condensing tube, and is simply screwed into place when the jar is charged for heating. and unscrewed when the Jar is to be emptied.

It is best to use two rubber bands, in order to secure a good joint between the cap and the jar. I have used the apparatus a great deal in class instruction to show the preparation of alcohol, essential oils, products obtained from and to obtain various other distillates; and it might he very conveniently employed In various amateur pharmaceutical opera. tions.Scientillc American. Suez Canal. C.

V. DavisThe Suez canal was built by stock company. organized in 1854 by the French engineer, De Lcsoeps, with a capital of $40,000,000 (soon after incrived to MO).

It was a very fruitful journey and the best feature of it was the rine map he brought home of his entire itinerary. Count Wickenburg had with him two pedometers, which counted his footsteps for him. and he was thus saved the labor which Dr Junker underwent when he walked 400 miles into the depths of Africa and had to count every step himself. Wickenburg asoertained very carefully the average length of his steps. One thousand steps were represented On the map by a line a little over a third of an inch in length.

Every mile he walked added about an inch to his route on the map. When his path was straightaway he often walked as far as 2000 steps before he stopped to bring up his map to the point he had reached. If the path were crooked he stopped more frequently. So he trudged on, compass in hand, taking the direction of the route while his pedometers kept steadily counting his footsteps. Twenty-one big sheets were required to record the first stage of his journey.

Mr Storer left the vatican pleased, and it is said that he is almost sure that Archbishop Ireland will suoceed this time. Vatican circles, however, are sceptical, and the opinion prevails that i although the most discussed candidates a reArchbishops Ireland and Ryan.

the pope will choose an outsider, who is likely to be Archbishop Farley. This belief is based on the feeling that if one American see must be honored by the conferment of the purple, New York deserves it most, because it has the largest Catholic population.
