The prosperity of Chicago is some
what indicated by the fact that she
has to have a vigilance committee to
protect her citizens from highway
robbery.
"Loan companies," in most of our
cities, advance email sums of money
on the security of household furniture,
charging anywhere from six to twenty
per cent, a month interest.
The federation of women's clubs at
Syracuse was ruled by Sorosls In the
selection of a president, and the oppo
sition bitterly says it did so through a
Tammany system of politics. Thus
the federation Is at war with Itself, and
the result Is an immensity of grief and
hysterics, to be followed by the hope
less fracture of the entire establish
ment. It is singular that women can
not dwell together in unity—any more
than men can.
The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial
Institute for colored people has just
dedicated an agricultural building.
One of the speakers said: "It is a
great deal better for the state of Ala
bama to spend one hundred dollars on
each of these boys and girls than to
spend perhaps ten thousand dollars in
convicting them later on." Illiteracy is
expensive as well as deplorable. Edu
cation Is economical, for it reduces
crime and there is no color line in this
fact.
A foreign writer recently said: "Ger
many feels more and more the need
of foreign markets. She has ceased
to be a pre-eminently agricultural
country, and Is becoming every year
more and more an industrial and com
mercial country. In 1882, of every
1,000 persons 425 were supported by
agriculture and only 355 by industry
and 100 by commerce. In 1895 the pro
portions were already nearly reversed.
891 per 1,000 derived their livelihood
from industry, 115 from commerce and
only 3G7 from agriculture. ^Jbreign
mark«»i-3, must therefore, be secured
abroad for the surplus production of
her industry, and, on the other hand,
food and raw materials must be ob
tained in increasing quantities from
abroad."
At the opening of the agricultural
building at Tuskegee, Ala., Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson said: "There
is a growing demand for men educated
in the sciences relating to agriculture.
^We.want a soil physicist at the depart
ment in Washington—a simple want,
one would say. There are 1,000 peo
ple asking places in the department,
well-educated people, but not one has
studied soils. An inquiry comes from
a university for a biologist none of
the 1,000 is proficient along that line
a scientific dairyman is in demand
very few are, to be had, while the coun
try has a surplussof men and women
well-educated along lines that do not
apply to the farm and its various de
partments. We must educate young
people to do something that somebody
wants done, where money is waiting
to pay them.
It is reported that at the Grand Isl
and, Neb., sugar beet factory a flock
of 50,000 sheep an(l a number of cat
tle are now being fed almost exclusive
ly upon the sliced beets, after the
juices and sugar are extracted. City
delivery wagons deliver to owners of
cows or other live stock in the city all
the feed of this kind that can be con
sumed for the nominal price of 25
cents a week. At first only one wagon
BuppUed the demand, but now there
are three engaged in the service. To
encourage the industry the Grand
laland factory exacts no charge for
the food. Stock feeders and farmers
are at liberty to haul away the prod
uct in unlimited quantities. At the
Btock yards near by 150 tons of the
beet refuse are fed daily and, it is said,
stockmen find that with the addition
of small quantities of grain cattle and
sheep are quickly placed in fine con
dition for the market.
The second sealing conference closed
^with an agreement of the American,
Canadian and British seal experts upon
certain matters of,fact. Among these
are the statements that the Prlbilof
seal herd is not more than one-third or
one-fifth as large as formerly that the
catch at sea contains a marked excess
of females but that deep-sea sealing
has fallen oft in greater ratio than the
herd has and that the herd le not in
danger of actual extermination while
its haunts on land are protected, and
the protected zone Around the islands
is maintained. This agreement of the
experts was followed by a diplomatic
conference, at which the representa
tives of Canada submitted proposi
tions for an adjustment of all questions
sat issue' between the United States and
Canada, through an international com
mission. These prepositions are to be
formally presented later for the con
sideration of our government.
The King of the Belgians has just
