The Philippines have about 200
miles of railroads.
Millions in water power Is not the
same thing as millions in water in
Wall street.
Some of these beauty doctors should
try to get a reputation by removing
those spots from the sun.
Europe is all furbished up for the
American tourist, and the pockets of
the hotelkeepers have been reinforced.
Louisiana has a steel sawmill with
a capacity of 600,000 feet a day, which
is said to be the largest in this
country.
While the flounder is a salt-water

Rhine as far up as Mayence, and even
in the Necker.
For many months an eastern girl
kept her marriage to a nobleman
secret. It's curious, though, how
things will get out on one.
A firm fs now losing money on a
patent medicine that once made mil-
lions. They should re-label it and
sell it as furniture polish.
It is difficult in England to arouse
an interest in the preservation of for-
ests because of the universal substi-
tution of coal for wood as fuel.
It may be true, as a scientific sharp
declares, that a fiy carries around
250,000 disease germs on each foot,
but they don't seem to hurt the fly.
Probably stock gambling can never
be stopped.—New York World. This
should cause Wall street to brighten
up and look a little cheerful once
more.
"Does the '? Jerry Widow' hat en-
danger men's souls?" asks the Balti-
more Sun. We can't speak for their
souls, but It seems to be pretty bad for
their eyes.
China is just beginning to use but-
ler. In time we may be able to intro-
duce the Chinese to breakfast cereals,
cold-storage eggs and other substi-
tutes for food.
A poet was beheaded in Haytl a few
days ago. It should be explained,
however, that he was executed on ac-
count of his political affiliations, and
not because of his poetry.
The smooth-shod faces of our sailor
beys may set a new fashion in Auk-
land. The New Zealand cast of coun-
tenance is the kind which symbolizes
hard times for the barber.
According to a Baltimore Commis-
sion man two-thirds of the human
creatures on earth will be slain in Oc-
tober, 1914. His millennium must be
particularly attractive to the under-
takers.
New York city has 238 pawnbrok-
ers, and such is the nature of their
business that the law requires that
their books shall be open to the
mayor, criminal courts, magistrates
and police.
A young Brooklyn wife went home
to her mother because her husband
hid her pet kittens. The court, how-
ever, refused to allow her to take her
household goods with her. Problem:

And speaking of the indiscretions of
the kaiser, they are recalling his first
notable one, when, at the early age
of five, he grabbed Bismarck's big
mustache and gave it a terrible twist
"Believe me, your highness," said the
royal nurse who gave him a flogging,
"what I have done pains me as much
as it does you." "Perhaps so, but not
in the same place," said the future
kaiser.
Speeding in Prince Edward Island
will be a problem very easily solved
after this. The legislature has passed
a bill to banish automobiles altogether,
on the ground that they are a menace
to public safety. Of course, automo-
billsts will plead that this is a hard-
ship, and that causes, no matter what
they are, must have some martyrs.
But evidently the pedestrianating part
of the population there is not of the
stuff out of which willing martyrs
are made.
So strong is the spirit of gayety
this season in St Petersburg that
there is much talk of reviving that
dream of sumptuous glory, the boyard
fete of 1903, declared to be the most
magnificent court spectacle of modern
times. The boyards were the old Rus-
sian nobles of the time of Ivan the
Terrible, and for the fete of 1903 cos-
tumes and jewels were worn that were
worth millions. A dozen women spent
A fortnight in sewing jewels on the
costume of the czarina, who repre-
sented the first wife of Czar Alexis
Michaelovitch. The dress weighed
over 60 pounds, and has never been
worn since.
A private mark is to be allowed on

PROVIDING FOR BOYS.
The garden is the enemy of the drug
trust and the doctor's trust.
That day that has marked no prog-
ress in either mind or matter to you
you have lost.
The man who has no home, nor
ambition to own one, makes a mighty
poor sort of a citizen.
Be your own warehouseman, you
won't assess yourself too heavily for
what you do for yourself.
Don't wait for the meetings of your
local to get interesting; start some-
thing, even if you can't stop it.
You never make any mistake when
you stand up for your own community,
but while you are standing don't stand
still.
The average of American life is
stretching out in proportion as tfie
fruit diet of the people increases. Plant
trees and berries.
When pigs, peanuts and poultry
reign in the Sunny South, and cotton
is a flller-in crop, the Union conten-
tions will be vindicated.
If you have no home cannery get
one at once. It may not consist of
more than a few cans or jars and a
kettle, but that is a right start.
Less of cotton surely means less of
the credit system; the abuse of the
two things which have robbed the
South of the cream of its earnings.
The Union is like any other human
institution—it is strong and helpful if
you make it so, or it is a mockery if
allowed to run into ruts or weaknesses.
There is not a spot within the entire
South where the nut trees of all kinds
will not grow, and the pecan, the
prince among all nut trees, is at home
anywhere in the South.
If you have not done so yet, get
busy after the mosquito breeding
places all around you and rout them
out. That is where most of the sum-
mer fevers come from.
Don't forget your pocket knife when
you go among your trees. There is
hardly one amonp them that does not
need a little trimming here or a little
pruning there every week.
Union men all understand that it
takes but little more to raise a good
colt than a scrub, but that a good colt
is always in demand, while it is hard
to "work off" a scrub and be done with
it at any price.
Hard to Conceive.
The tremendous size and power of
modern machinery may be judged
from data regarding the mechanical
equipment of the "Lusitania," which
now seems bent, at the sacrifice of
its firemen, on beating its own record.
The six turbines of this monster ship
have 994,000 blades and an equal num-
ber of spacing pieces between the
blades. If the blades and spacing
pieces were laid end to end they would
extend 182 miles. Their total weight
is 194,500 pounds, and the surface of
the blades exposed to the action of
steam amounts to 114,000 square feet.
A consumption of one thousand tons
of coal per day requires about fifteen
hundred pounds per minute. Each of
the one hundred firemen is therefore
requ'red to feed fifteen pounds of coal
per minute into the furnaces.—Ex.
Dairy Dots.
Texas Farmer.
Good milk cows are seldom in good
flesh. They are not flesh makers,
but milk machines, or should be.
Kindness in the dairy not only in-
dicates a kind heart, but the self-
control of good common sense.
Plants for making condensed milk
are becoming more common. Several
have recently been established in
Vermont.
A good dairyman, whether in Iowa,
Missouri, Indiana or Texas, is usually
a prosperous man and his farm is a
paying proposition.
Cream of the proper acid or ripe
condition churns more easily than
sweet cream, because the acid ren-
ders it less compact.
A good cow is a profitable invest-
ment, aside from the increase, which
should represent the profit. This can
be said also of the hen, the mare and
the ewe.
Careful!? kept statistics kept by
dairy associations in the southwest
part of Scotland during the winter of
1907 shows the cost of producing a
gallon of milk, ten pounds, is about
8.72 cents.
The principal dairy breeds are the
Jerseys, Holsteins, Guernsey, Ayr-
shire and Brown Swiss. All of which
have their good qualities and their
admirers.
a great many keep'cows for profit
who would do better if they would
adopt dairy principles; otherwise
their theoretical methods will prove
a disappointment.
Rich cream is more easily churned
because the particles of fat are more
numerous or closer together, which
renders them more easily brought to-
gether as butter. Good cream is
from SO to 40 per cent fat.
The Red-Blooded Boy Must Have
Something to Do.
The following was written for the
parent of the country-town boy, but
it is so well written that we prefer
to publish it as it is, and let each
parent adapt it to his own case. The
article is taken from the Fort Worth
Telegram:
Every so often there may be found,
in almost any newspaper a paragraph
like the following from the Denison
Herald:
"Parents who allow their boys to
run on the streets late at night need
not be surprised if sooner or later they
get into trouble. No greater mistake
can be made than to allow boys to
feel that they are beyond the restraint
of the home life."
Not so often are there paragraphs
telling how to keep the boys from en-
gaging in this very natural pastime.
All the gorgeously-colored pictures
portraying the joys of home (usually
painted by men who have lived most
of their lives in boarding houses) do
not offer much appeal to the healthy,
red-corpuscled boy who knows that to
stay at home after supper means sit-
ting in a room where father is reading
the paper and must not be disturbed
by talking, and wher^ mother is us-
ually busy at her work basket. It is
easy to say "Give the boys books and
magazines to read," but only about one
boy in ten can endure seven nights
reading a week and even the tenth
will find it hard work keeping up the
program unless a constant supply of
literature .which particularly interests
him is supplied.
Also it is easy to say "Find out the
boy's natural bent and let him follow
it." Yet it is not so easy to clean up
shavings after a lad who wants" to be
a carpenter or to say in the house
with one who wants to be a musician
and persist in practicing on the cor-
net.
The problem of keeping boys at
home and keeping them interest Is not
an easy one. It can not be solved at
all unless parents are willing to make
considerable sacrifice and take an in-
terest in everything that interests
their children.
Most boys for the greater part of
the year are interested in athletics.
For such an outlay of less than $10
ought to supply enough gymnastic ap-
paratus sufficient to keep two or three
boys occupied any night when they
are not inclined to other sports. It
is a good deal better to have your boy
pummeling the boy of your next door
neighbor with a pair of boxing gloves
in your woodshed than to have him
lounging around street*corners doing
nothing. A black eye occasionally, a
sprain acquired in a gymnasium, or
even a broken bone, is better than a
set of twisted morals or a broken code
of ideals such as may be obtained by
promiscuous association with other
boys who have nothing to do.
If the boy has a scientific turn, and
is fond of making experiments, noth-
ing will please him better than a cheap
miscroscope and a guide book on how
to use it. Evenings for a whole year
can be spent examining such simple
things as bread, meat and vegetables
and to draw outlines of what the mi-
croscope shows offers practical as well
as interesting work.
The vital thing is to show an inter-
est in what interests the boy, and to
share his enthusiasm. He will get
over the enthusiastic period soon
enough, and when he looks back to it
in later years it will be a pleasant
memory to recall that his parents
were the beat and truest friends he
ever had.
Notes by a Working Farmer.
Home and Farm.
Work that is not done In time re-
quires double the labor to perform
afterward and then the resultB are
never so good.
There is no luck about farming.
Every success is the result of well-laid
plans, and the failures, with rare ex-
ceptions, are because of the lack of
them.
The process of grading up brings
one continually nearer to the full
blood, which is a source of all satis-
faction and profit in stock feeding.
It requires a faculty of closer ap-
plication and study along a single line
to make a specialty go, but when it
it does go it usually pays best.
The man who works so steadily that
he never has time to stop and make
his plans ahead does not often produce
the best results.
If there were no other argument in
favor of keeping stock the single one
of helping to market the bulky prod-
ucts of the farm should be consid-
ered.
Commercial fertilizers do not per-
manently benefit the land. They have
their legitimate useB in helping to pro-
duce larger crops, but they do not
make the land any richer. They
should be used in connection with oth-
er manure.
There is a good reason for dairying
paying—a cow is the most profitable
of all animals if properly managed.
An average cow should produce five
or six thousand pounds of milk a year.
This properly managed is profitable
in the home and in the houses of
others.
Just So Long Oniy.
The big packers are not paying
present high prices for fat cattle just
because they want to or because of a
desire to befriend the grower. There
must be a reason for present prices
and one which the packers can not
circumvent. The fact is that there is
a shortage of cattle suitable for
slaughtering purposes and this, and
this alone, is responsible for present
values. Prices will keep up just as
long as Bupply is short of demand.—
San, Antonio Stockman-Farmer.
PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT
A RISING CONGRESSMAN
John Joseph Fitzgerald, or "Fitzie," as he is
known among those who enjoy his friendship, is
one congressman who is making a name for him-
self in the present alleged "do nothing" session.
John Joseph is a member of the minority and a
loyal follower of John Sharp Williams, hence he is
in his element in these closing days of the ses-
sion, when John Sharp is making campaign mate-
rial for the Democracy.
John Joseph is gradually, but surely, working
his way to leadership on the Democratic side.
While Congressman De Armond of Missouri is
the man upon whom will descend the mantle of
John Sharp Williams when the latter goes to
take the senate seat to which the Mississippi
Democrats elected him last fall, the Democracy
will want one or two others to bear the brunt of
battle on the floors Fitzgerald appears to be sure
of being one of these.
Fitzgerald was born in Trolleydodgerville
March 10, 1872. After a course in Brooklyn public schools he went to Man-
hattan college, graduating with the degree of bachelor of arts. Then he
studied law in the New York law school, and was admitted to the New York
bar when 21. It wasn't long before he became interested in Brooklyn poli-
tics. He was a delegate to the national Democratic convention in Kansas City
in 1900, when W. J. Bryan was nominated for the second time. He was then
a representative in congress, having been elected from the Seventh New
York district to the Fifty-si>:th congress in 1898, when only 26 years of age.
He was re-elected to the Fifty-seventh, Fifty-eighth, Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth
congresses by big majorities.
AMEER OF AFGHANISTAN
Habibullah Khan, ameer of Afghanistan, "Be-
loved of God," "Lamp of the Congregation,"
"Light of the Faith," and "Seeker After God-'s
Help," is waging an official war against British
India. He has not declared war yet, but he has
allowed 20,000 of his soldiers to invade India and
attack the frontier guards. The first result of this
indiscreet act will probably be the withdrawal
of the subsidy of $600,000 a year he has been
drawing from the British government; the sec
ond a scund thrashing and the third may be the
withdrawal of the title, "Your Majesty," con-
ferred upon him by King Edward when the ameer
visited India lately.
He was invited to India in the hope that the
sight of an Asiatic nation of 300;000,000 people
prospering and peaceable under British rule would
rcduce his bumptiousness, for he had begun to
entertain the idea that his capital, Kabul, was the
center of the universe. The sight of the riches
of India seems only to have stirred up his cupidity and the predatory instincts
of his robber ancestors.
The ameer is an autocratic ruler and has an army of 50,000 men. This
by no means accounts for his full fighting force, for every man of the
4,000,000 population is a born fighter and goes about armed at all times, ready
to defend his own life and take that of his neighbor if a good opportunity
offers. The Kentucky mountaineers could learn much from the Afghans.
The ameer is not a bad ruler, as Orientals go. He has a total lack of re-
spect for human life, and his punishments are sometimes what we would
consider excessive. The story told by Rudyard Kipling of the nervous sen-
try who rushed into the ameer's presence and announced that the Russians
were coming illustrates this trait. The ameer ordered him into a tree to
watch for them and posted guard below to keep him there. When unable to
hold out any longer he dropped upon the bayonets below.

REAL RULER OF IRELAND
Cardinal Michail Logue, archbishop of Ar-
magh and primate of all Ireland, the man who is
regarded by all, even the British government, as
the "real ruler of Ireland," quite appropriately took
& leading part in the centennial celebration of the
archdiocese of New York. Not only is he a fellow
countryman of the majority of the people of the
diocese, but he is the direct ecclesiastical descend-
ant of St. Patrick, who was the first bishop of
Armagh; the Armagh cathedral, like that of New
York, is named after that saint, and Armagh is
Archbishop Farley's home county.
Cardinal Logue is possessed of the truest sort
of patriotism, a patriotism that urged him in the
first speech he ever delivered in America—for this
is his first visit to this country—to urge his hear-
ers never to forget the old sod, but not to allow
their love for their native land of their fathers to
render them less devoted citizens of the land of
* their adoption, where no man could say that he
had not a chance to get on in the world.
It was Cardinal Logue to whom the-British government owes the defeat
of its half-way home rule measure. John E. Redmond had undertaken to have
it adopted by the national convention. The opposition of Timothy Healy,
William O'Brien and other politicians would have had little weight, for the
people knew the antipathy that exists between the two factions, had it not
been for the pronouncement of Cardinal Logue that the bill was utterly un-
satisfactory and that any politician who endeavored to secure its acceptance
by the convention would incur the grave suspicion that he was endeavoring
to deceive his countrymen in the interests of the ministry. The archbishop
of Dublin and the bishops of Kildare and Limerick joined in the cardinal's
denunciation and the measure was killed.
Cardinal Logue was created a cardinal in 1893 when he succeeded the late
primaXe, whose coadjutor he had been. He is a stern disciplinarian, as some
of his clergy know, and will tolerate no shirking of duty.

SON TO RIVAL KING EDWARD
Mrs. Bradley Martin is in the limelight once
more, not as giving a ball that cost more than
any other ball ever given in America, or as man-
aging mamma marrying her daughter to a foreign
earl, but as the mother of the director-general
of New York society, the man who haa extended
its bounds to include 2,000 of the elite instead of
the original 400—Frederick Townsend Martin,
better known among his intimates as "Bachelor"
Martin, he being a single man.
The passing of Ward McAllister and the panic
left New York society demoralized, and it was
Bachelor Martin who pulled it through the past
season. Now he is going to England to plan enter-
tainments for his sister, the countess of Craven,
to devise novelties to give a fillip to the jaded
appetites of English society. It is no light under-
taking to go into exclusive English society in the
role of professional entertainer, so much different
are their tastes from ours, but this young man
goes without any qualms whatever, for he has supreme confidence in himself.
He has tact, originality and determination, and a total lack of self-conscious-
ness, and does not fear to rival that prince of the art of entertaining—King
Edward himself.
Mr. Martin has been the Ward McAllister for the three great functions
of the year—the theatricals in which Mrs. George Gould, Mrs. Frances Pruyn
and Kyrle Bellew played the characters, the function which Mr. Martin terms
the "Gould Tea;" the reception to the Duchess d'Uzes, and the tea at which'
Mrs. Elinor Glyn, Billie Burke and Bishop Potter figured prominently.
Mr. Martin doesn't go in for a town house, for he believes that in the
future, because of the growth of society, the hotels must Berve in a larg®
measure the purposes of private homes. -
