, SIENACED- BY RUSSIA. RTHAT WAR IN FAR EAST MEANS TO SCANDINAVIA. Sweden and Horway Must Be Pre pared for Muscovite Invasion— Some Kind Words for the Brave Japs. Stockholm (Sweden) Special. No matter how the present Rtisso-Jap inese war may end, the Scandinavian tountries must be prepared for all possi ble eventualities. This is the editorial counsel of Varia.Ahe illustrated month ly of Stockholm. Swedes and Nor wegians have been much exercised over the oppression of Finland. Says the raria, in commenting on the increase In the term of military service in Sweden: “Knowing only too well the unappeas able land-hunger of the Muscovite, the Swedish government has arranged for sxtensive mobilization, in order to as sure the readiness cf the army. One of the most important points, from a strategic view, is occupied by the island of Gothland, situated in the midst of the Baltic, rightly known as ‘the eye of the Baltic.’ This island is now heavily fortified and garrisoned." Sweden must take still further meas ures to insure her safety, says this mag azine, which is pleased that the harbors of Stockholm and other Swedish cities have been mined and garrisoned. The Scandinavian . press in general fears to give utterance to any convic tions that might incur the hostility of Russia, but the Varia, in a rather un usual article, speaks out boldly about the war in the far east. The interests and sympathies of the European na tions, it says, are more evenly divided than the rest of the world imagines. “Those powers that desire the ad vance of culture, liberty and progress, as England (and America), sympathize with Japan, while those nations that stand for militarism, despotism and the repression of the rights and prlv leges of the masses—that is to say, the powers that still oppress and hinder the progress of liberty and enlightenment ■ " .. M. VON PLEHVE. (Russian Minister of the Interior Who Is Hated in Sweden.) in the nations of Europe—are hoping for the success of Russia.” In the latter class, says the Varia, stands Prussia, whose “old-time friend ship for Russia is not diverted, notwith standing the latter's alliance with France.” It continues: “Did not the German emperor send the autocrat of ali the Russias a helmet as a token of en couragement, while his government shows an admirable partisan zeal in pre venting the escape of Russian subjects from the rigors of deportation to Siberia or other hopeless confinement in Russian prisons?” Japan’s success has been a most disagreeable surprise to Europe, the Swedish magazine declares. “We have been long accustomed to regard foreign peoples with a sense of distinct superiority, and the easy vic tories that have been won over Asiatic races, such as the Chinese, have not served to lessen our contempt for their prowess. But now we are contemplat ing a development of which no Euro pean dreamed. . . “What the present emperor of Jap an, Mutsuhito, together with his coun selors, has performed seems almost to surpass everything that one has been accustomed to admire in the greatest rulers and statesmen of the world. It serves to elevate him immeasurably above rulers of the stamp of Czar Peter I., surnamed the Great, who could not, with all his tyranny, elevate his people above that half-barbaric state in which it still remains even to this rlnv ” Whether Japan wins or not, says this magazine, she has demonstrated her right to be classed as a world-power. "If, by the shortsightedness of the Eu ropean powers, Japan should once more be robbed of the material fruits of her victory, her energetic and progressive people will in any event have estab lished their position, and right to occupy a prominent place among civilized na tions.” She Was Kissed. The bride and groom sat side by side. "Dearest,” he said, looking up into her eyes, for he was smaller, so that he really and truly looked up and into her eyes. "Yes, love,” she responded in soft, frightened mouse tones. "If I had known that tunnel was that long I would have kissed you.” "Didn’t you kiss me?” she asked with much surprise. "No,” he replied. “Well, somebody did.”—Cleveland Leader. He Was Bight in It. Mr. Subbubs—So one of your farm hands has a great reputation as a weather prophet? Does he often get it right? Farmer Hayrick—He nits it rignt nine times out o’ ten. Mr. Subbubs—How does he manage to do It?

He Is the Man Who Made All the War Plans for the Mikado's Vic torious Armies. Toklo (Japan) Special. Maj. Gen. Pukushima is known as "the brains of the army” in Japan. There are many other "honorably il lustrious” men of brains on the mika do's staff, but none is quite so prolific of ideas as is Gen. Fukushima. In ad dition to his gifts of generalship, he has rare ability as a poet, and his con tributions to his country’s literature are honored by all Japanese as the highest expression of patriotism. On leaving for the seat of war, every man in the mikado's army re ceived a soldier's pocket book, contain ing instructions in military rules, the tenets of the Japanese religion, which . - - ■ 1 I__' .nr-—i MAJ. GEN. FUKUSHIMA. (Known Throughout Japan as the “Brains ot the Army.”) reserves a special paradise for martyr3 to their country’s honor—and last, but not least, a war anthem written by Gen. Fukushima. The following translation of the last verse is fairly accurate: Break the ramparts of Port Arthur, Tear the walls of Harbin down! On the heights of Ural mountains Float the banntr of the sun. tfh en unto our sovereign's glory Praises sound and never cease, While our hearts unite, rejoicing In the great and world-wide peace. Gen.Fukushima made a famous expe dition across Siberia and Manchuria 13 years ago on a secret errand for the em peror, riding 6,000 miles alone on horse back, in the depth of winter. Almost insuperable difficulties attended the journey—me roaus were impassauie aim the cold intense. Several times he was captured by bands of lawbreakers, who on one occasion tortured him with fire to force a revelation of the emperor's affairs. It is agreeable to learn that his in domitable will overcame all obstacles, and that his commission was triumph antly performed. He was rewarded by being made imperial councilor of war, which position he held during the struggle between China and Japan, di recting the campaign from Tokio. Gen. Fukushima is one of the richest nobles in the empire, his ancestral es tates being located in the peaceful in land province of Shinshiu, which is fa mous for its silk industries. MOTHER JONES IN CHICAGO Noted Woman Labor Agitator Thinks the Striking Miners in Col orado Are Heroes. Chicago Special. “Mother" Mary Jones, who was the central figure at a recent meeting of the Chicago Federation of Labor, has by her work for the trades union cause gained the name of “the stormy petrel of the labor movement.” She was born in Cork,- Ireland, 5S years ago, and immigrated to Canada when a girl. She taught school in the Do minion and in this country. The I--1 MRS. MARY JONES. (Familiarly Known as the Stormy Petrel of the Eabor World.) Kearney “sand lot” agitation in Cali fornia provided her first experience in the labor movement. She became one of the most active members of the Knights of Labor, and is now asso ciated with the social democracy. Her efforts on behalf of the United Mine Workers are recent history. She is an orator and debater. She spoke at length to the Chicago federationists on behalf of the striking miners of Colorado, taking, as might be supposed, a radical stand. “You do not seem to be awake to the great issues before you,” said Mrs. Jones. “If the miners of Colorado are coerced and suppressed by the militia you will soon receive the same treat ment from the militia of this state. We are facing a crisis and we may as well meet it now as any other time. The miners In Colorado are fighting your battles as well as their own and should receive your support.” Jersey Heifer Went Fishing. Peter Sutphen, a farmer living be tween New Brunswick, N. J., and Mid dleburgh, lost a heifer which had learned to stand in a brook and snap up the little fish which approached. He asked the police to help him find the heifer. They suggested that he look along the river, as she might have gone fishing. A few hours later Sutphen telephoned the police, thanking them for their suggestion and stating that he had found his pet knee deep in tha Raritan river hunting for fish. Official Hint for Spinsters.

SomuthtiiK About the Little Brown Apt That FixhtM and Conquer* the Boll Weevil. An ant, newly discovered and worth a quarter of a billion dollars a year to the southern and southwestern states, is now about to leap into the arena of every cotton plantation, clashing its mandibles and rushing to battle with the terrible boll weevil, the ruthless destroyer of cotton. It is microscopic in size, brown in color, flexible of body, pugnacious of temper, poisonous with venom. Thanks to this sudden ally, the soi\th’s shuddering fight against the boll weevil changes from that of a lost cause to a campaign ap parently certain of victory. The lit tle brown ant will work the change. It Is the scrappiest living organism for its size and weight in the world. It was apparently created for the sole purpose of exterminating the boll weevil. It is the little brown Jap of the insect world, just as the boll weevil is the bulky and greedy Russian over ruling the Manchuria of King Cotton’s country. It would rather kill boll weevils than eat, and its fighting tac tics are irresistible. The ant will be shown at the World’s fair. Tnis amazing ant, wnose vaiue mj me world at large is almost beyond com pulation, destroys the boll weevil faster than the boll weevil destroys cotton— and the latter’s destructiveness has un til now held the world’s record. Around every cotton stalk the little brown ant establishes a Cossack outpost picket, five strong, and watches for the boll weevil. It falls upon its enemy with incredible fury, pries open the weevil’s beetle-like armor, plunges its envenom ed sting in to the exposed part— and then it’s the Dead March in Saul for the weevil. The combats thus car ried on are said to be intensely excit ing a9 spectacles. Sio thrilling are they, in fact, that the World’s fair management is to be urged to arrange for a daily exhibit showing a battle between this wonder ful ant and the cotton-killing boll weevil. It is represented that the com batants could be exhibited in a case un der microscopic lenses giving a vastly magnified view of the fray. The whole world at the fair might gaze spell bound at such an encounter and ap plaud its outcome—for the little brown ant is always the victory, and his vic tory means that the world’s cotton crops are hereafter to be harvested for man’s use instead of largely going to feed the boll weevil as in recent years. Yet the little brown ant's name is unknown. It it “one of the few, the immortal names, that were not born to die,’’ but thus far its intrepid owner is advancing incognito to his death grapple with the boll weevil. All that is known of him is that he hails from Guatemala, where he has slain all the boll weevils, and that he has never yet declined a fight with his hereditary feudsman or been bested in such a fight. Name or no name, however, the lit tle brown ant will receive a welcome as warm as if his cognomen were en graved with gratitude's fingers on ev ery American heart—especially since cynics say gratitude is “a lively sense of favors to come.’’ For this ant is the most beneficent creature the cotton country has ever been called upon to greet, and upon the prosperity of the cotton country depends much of the prosperity and comfort of all the world. It dwells in the cotton fields, bu,t it does no harm to the cotton- It will be found on every stalk, but not one mouthful of the staple or fiber will it eat, nor will it to the extent of a pound’s weight lesen the annual crop. Rather will it insu.re a maximum of harvest for every plantation, because it will be there as a faithful sentinel, challenging and fighting to the death the inveterate enemy of cotton. This good and faithful ant, like many other good and faithful creatures, is not pretty to look at. Seen through a microscope, it suggests a Welsh rare bit nightmare or the fever imaginative product of broiled lobster eaten just before bedtime. It is hairy and trucu lent. It has fierce eyes. It has steel like mandibles which it flourishes about its rugged head in the most threatening manner. It has formida ble jaws that snap together as do those of a cruel animal trap. At the end which goes last over a fence it has a lance-sharp sting that fairly reeks with poison. It has a supple body so full of the joy of conflict that it bends into a circle when the fight waxes hottest, thus enabling its owner to work man dibles, jaws and sting in a most har monious aggression. And it doesn’t belie its looks. It is a killer. It makes a slaughter house of its immediate vicinity, the insect creation furnishing the material, with the boll weevil for choice. If there are no boll weevils around—and boll weevils have now dis appeared from Guatemala—it attacks and slays centipedes hundreds of times its size. The ant’s challenge is only to the insect world. It is man’s true friend. The people of the southern states will grow to love its very ugliness on bet ter acquaintance. Even in its method of warfare this ant is what Artemus Ward would have called "an amoosin’ little cuss.’’ It’s as good as a circus to see how it conducts its militant enmnalnm aeainst the boll weevil. The little brown ant is a sagacious, as well as a humorous antagonist. He refuses to mass In large numbers at any given point on a cotton plantation. Instead, he goes about his field work in groups of five, forming independent scouting parties. One member of the group scurries up to the top of the cotton stalk. Another halts an inch or two below this “crow’s nest” lookout sen try. A third stations himself about midway on the stalk. The fourth and fifth patrol the ground, each covering half of the prospect encircling them. Organized Train Work. Suddenly, exactly as a sailor in the maintop cries “There she blows!” when, a whale is sighted, an ant calls out that he sees boll weevils within reaafi. They may be on his stock or on one or more near by. He tells his fel low pickets—of course these little brown ants talk among themselves as do all nature’s creatures—just where the enemy is located. Immediately the squad advances to combat In leas time than it takes to tell the story they are in the thick of a fight And they fight fair. One ant to one boll weevil, that’s the inflexible rule laid down in their ar ticles of war. The ant “jumps” the the weevil with glad pugnacity. It grasps the weevil in its mandibles very much as a Greco-Roman wrestler gets a hold on an-antagonist. But not for a wrestling bout. The mandible claws reach at once for the weevil’s middle. Right at that spot is the joint between the weevil’s thorax and abdomen. The ant forces this joint open, exposing the enemy’s flesh. By this time, also, its body has assumed its “fighting curve,” bent into a circle that brings the sting to the vulnerable point. With a light ning dart this sting is sunk into the weevil’s body at the opened joint. At the same moment the little brown ant’s bulldog jaws snap shut on the weevil’s throat. The next instant the poison takes effect. Spinal paralysis of the weevil is what the poison inflicts. Time! Carry out the dead weevil,please —but no, this is the ant’s task also, and an ant feast on weevil flesh fol lows. This is how the American cotton crop is going to be saved. The little brown ant of Guatemala was discovered in the most casual manner. One day Mr. O. P. Cook, bot anist of the department of agriculture, was sent to Central America to inves tigate and report upon the cultivation of the coffee and rubber plants. Sud denly he reached a cotton-growing dis trict in Guatemala, from which boll weevil was conspicuous by its absence. Mr. Cook had been tremendously inter ested in the boll weevil, the cause of a 50 per cent decrease of the cotton yield in certain parts of Texas and of almost equally heavy losses in other states. Knowing that climatic and soil condi tions in Guatemala closely approached that of the devastated Texas counties, he marveled that the boll weevil was not in evidence. With a scientist, to marvel first is to investigate immedi ately afterward. Mr. Cook investigated. Looking for the boll weevil he discov ered the little brown ant which had ex terminated the boll weevil. He found that this ant came from the plateau region of Guatemala, and that it had invaded the cotton fields and speedily made away with the boll wree vil pest. It subsisted on food contained in three sets of extra floral nectaries growing along with the cotton, but the cotton plan itself was not touched In a ' harmful w ay. It seemed to have been created for the special purpose of kill ing bool weevils.—-St. Louis Post-Dis patch. C'nre of Colt’s Teeth. Many of the more common digestive troubles of the horse are directly traceable to some imperfection of the teeth. Neglect of these often leads to imperfect mastication, impoverished condition, iritability, digestive disturb ances and eye derangements. When dentition goes on regularly, the colt gets 10 new teeth, eight in each jaw, between its second and third years. Therefore, the mouth should be often and carefully examined at this period, and all irregularities adjusted. If the colt’s system seems to be in a languid conuition, tnis win reiara uenuuuu and should be remedied by extra feed ing, especially of oats.—Prairie Farm er. HERE AND THERE —Dr. R. H- Speight, the well-known cotton expert, says: “There ought to be a cotton-seed oil mil for every thousand bales of cotton.” —It is estimated that each ton of cotton-seed contains 165 pounds of ammonia, 55 pounds of phosphoric acid and 36 pounds of potash. Cotton seed meal is therefore an excellent fer tilizer. —Cassava is a sub-tropical plant, and valued for its roots, which contain a high per cent of starch and saccha rine. Hence it fattens hogs and cat tle. It is also grown to use in starch factories. —The first thing is to know your own business well, and the next best thing is to learn all you can about your neighbor’s business if it is in the same line as your own, and profit by experience. —Some seem to think that so long as pigs get wet and sloppy food they need no drink. This is a mistake. They require, and should have, a plen tiful supply of clean, fresh water, and this in all seasons and in all condi tions. —A 300-ac.re corn-grower in Illinois shreds his entire crop, at a cost of $1 an acre, which he values at $4, as com pared with the current price of $8 a ton for timothy hay. The yield of shredded fodder is estimated at three tons an acre. —The farmer of poultryman who does not properly care for his flock of common fowls is not a fit person to have pure-bred birds. Farmers give but little recognition to the breeds of poultry, although they recognize the importance of breed in animals. —To get the best results from feeding cows soiling crops the feeding should be done in the stables, where the share of each cow can be given her in her manger, and from where she can eat it without fear of being banged around by the stronger ani mals. —Farming can be made a pleasant and profitable occupation. But it must De intelligently cuuuucieu. me old ways must be given up, and new and better ways must be used. The old scratch plan must give place to the new plow-deep and harrow-fine plan. —The scientific, up-to-date farmer is making money, by the help of im proved machinery and studying the markets, and investing his money in the improvement of his farm and the beautifying of his home instead of putting it in corner lots, stocks and bonds and futures. —Roosts for heavy fowls should be wide. A four-inch board one inch thick will be better for large Asiatics as a roost than anything else, but the small breeds will be satisfied with a round pole, or a piece of three-by-four scantling rounded on the edges. The largest breeds prefer to have a sup port for the breast, as it tires them to hold the weight of the body entire ly on the legs. OF GENERAL INTEREST. Experts at Newport, R.

Since the decree of the czar in 1899 depriving the people of Finland of their constitutional liberty, 150,000 Finns have come to the United States. New comers are looked out for by the Fin nish Exiles’ club, at Battery Park, New York. Ten per cent, of Finland’s pop ulation of 2,000,000 is now in America. A Chicago association of employers recently employed an expert statistician from Ann Arbor university, at an ex pense of $2,500, to make a careful in vestigation of the increased cost of liv ing since 1898. As a result of his work the net increase was estimated at 11 per cent. To this was added an addi tional five per cent, for estimated nor mal increase in the consumption of sun dries, and employers who have not in creased wages by at least 16 per cent, during the last five years have been ad vised by the association to do so before they can expect support in any labor controversy.
