In a recent talk with a delegation of clergymen ar 1 others who called upon him to urge a more Christian policy in dealing with the Indians, General Harrison said emphatically that he should do .his best in the direction named. He added, how ever, that "the Indians with whom he must be meat concerned at present were not on tKe frontier, but here in Washing ton." it is said by the New York Star that a majority of the suicides belong to clubs, which would argue that clubs are de moralizing, but for the fact that the self murderers wfre not habitues, but mem bers who seldom frequented the club.

There is evidently press ing need, states the New York News, that something should be done. This country imports from Mexico goods to the value of 33",000,000 a year, while it exports only about $3,000,000, or, in other words, we pay Mexico $22,000,000 a year more than she pays us.

"How is it" is asked "that a covering which cannot be put on can vas, which will not defy the weather, which harmonizes with neither the charms of nature nor tho aspirations of the soul how is that this hat, from de ;ade to decade, sustains its empire?" The man in the silk hat takes cities, sub dues the haughtiest dame, vanquishes the most terrible waiter or porter.

Beauty shows having become stale, baby shows flat and complexions shows unprofitable, Vienna announces a fresh attraction in the form of a grand com petitive exhibition of masculine good looks, and bad looks too. Prizes will be awarded in four classes : To the handsom est man; to the most "killing" mustache; ,to the biggest nose, and to the most im pressively bald head. There are already numerous entries in all classes, and a highly successful show is expected. Per haps there is nothing new under the sun; but Vienna is "crowding the mourners," jet any rate. ' "Many extravagant stories are in cir culation," said George W. Allen to the SLLouis Olobe-Democrat representative, "as to the cost of private cars, such as are used by. railroad magnates, opera Lager, imported actors and million aires, and I have often heard it stated that an, average Pullmau palace car is worth $60,000. Stories are printed about cars costing- all the way from $100,000 to $230,000. The fact of the matter is that a palaca car costs about $12,000 complete. The make-up of all cars, regular or special, is about the same. ' Additional cost is brought about by the internal decoration, and that must necessarily be limited. I doubt if there was ever a car constructed that cost more that $35,000. To exceed that figure we would require a decoration ex clusively in jewels and the precious metals." . The agitation in favor of a legitimate exhibit of pure dairy products has crys talized in a new corporation, the name of which is the National Dairy Fair Associa tion of America. It is incorporated under the laws of Illinois, with a capital stock of $100,000, and its object is to hold an annual national dairy fair. The corpora tors are Governor Hoard, of "Wisconsin; D, W.

FE0GBES3 OF THE SOUTH. The Marvellous Story as Told by Bankers in the Various States. The Manufacturers Record published special reports from leading bankers all over the South, as to the condition of business in their vicinity, stating that the views of bankers were secured be cause they are the best possible authority on the financial position of their section. The Record says : . In the North there 'is complaint of dullness . In the South an activity never peiore equalled is seen in every line of industry ; people are not only hopeful but enthusiastic. The steady progress of late years has brought about a season of prosperity which has infused new life into everybody, and the whole South is alive and at work. Drones are at a dis count, energy and enterprise are cease lets, tireless vim and push are now the controlling factors in the South. The reports of bankers scattered from Vir ginia to Texas, without exception, tell of the great improvement in business, of activity in trade and manufactuie?, and ths enthusiasm which pervades all classes of citizens, farmers and business men alike. This is probably the most uniformly favorable summary of the condition of business in an area as great as the South could ever have been made. In civics? some of the reasons for this prosperity the Record sajs that during the last two years it has reported the organization in the South of upwards of 10,CG0 new in dustrial establishments, coverinc- evrrv I S"!"" ' "iie oi manuiaciunn er and mininor from makinor pms to buildinsr locomotives. and the building of nearly 6.000 miles of ranroaa ana the production of the largest "p eve miBtu iu mis secuoD, wmcn yielded fairly good profits to the farmer. During these two" year3 the South raised over fourteen million bales of cot ton, over one billion bushels of corn, nearly one hundred million bushels of wheat and one hundred and sixty million bushel of oates. The total value of these and other agricultural products reaching an aggregate of upwards of $1,600,000, 000, or an average of $800,000,000 a year. The character of the rennrts from bankers is shown in the following from a few of them. The First National Bank, of Florence, Ala., reports: "Business is on a sound financial basis and activity unprecedent ed in this section, with monev easy. Thirty or forty new factories have been located here in the last few months." The First National Bank, of Athens, Tenn. says that section was neer before half so prosperous nor the outlook half so flattering. The Planters' Bank, of Danville, Va. reports : 5 'The prospects are more prom ising than ever before." The First National Bank, of Fort Worth, Texas, reports- "An era of un precedented prosperity," and adds "that ; the farmers are jubilant over the crop j prospects." The First National Bank, of Salisbury, N. C, speaking lor all that section, tavs: "v.tLci uuuuuh. man lor twenty years and the people are united and enthusias tic." First National Bank, of Rome, Ga: "Business very active and increasing and people lull of hope and enthusiasm." Lehman, Durr & Co., bankers, Mont gomery, Ala: "Not a single mercantile failure for a year and everything bright and promising.". Warren Daposit Bank, Glasgow, Ky': "'New era of prosperitv."

Now that the spirit of a orenuine econ- omy is abroad in the land, let us not forget that it is as important to raise "hog" as ii is to raise 'hominy. " Pos sibly every farmer has not made provis ion for this, may net have the animals necessary to do it. In that event let him buy a few shoats. An animal six week3 or two months old, will if prop -erly pushed, make 200 pounds of . pork by next December. But it must be pushed, matters must not be left to hap hazards and chance. One must look ahead and provide One of the best things for voung hosra is milk butter milk or skim milk. This in connection with a little bran, shorts, or meal, will push piss very rapidly. But they ought to have a pasture or lot to run on; clover is best, bermuda is good: In the absence of these, native grasses and weeds will help. Inclose a little place for the pigs, let it have a shade and, if possiDie, running water; but this is not essential. In its absence, they must be supplied daily with fresh clean water, with slats nailed across, so they cannot wallow in it and defile it; wallowing troughs are desirable in hot weather. Keep salt and charcoal always within reach - under some shelter; occasionally give a little sulphur and kerosene in food. This will ward of cholera.

In the absence of these, one might plant some crops that will come in as quickly as possible. At first, reliance must be had on garden vegetables. .

A crop of whip-pe-rwill peas maybe started the last of April One of early amber cane plant ed at once (get Northern grown seed for this, that it may mature early.) A patch of early corn (Adam's extra early) will furnish roasting ears in June. It is al most too late toplant Irish potatoes, but these when cooRed make excellent hog feed. Most of the vegetables named above should be cooked for pigs. Span ish groundpe aa and sweet potatoes should be planted for latter part of summer and autumn, and successive plantings of corn made, to furnish roasting ears through the summer. One who has not tried it, will be surmised to see how much hog food can ba obtained at small cosr, oy tne exercise oi a little energy and foresight. Wc have not been iu the habit of doing these things, but it is time we were getting into such habit?. Let us get out of the old ruts a little. 1 1 J 1 . . m THE NORTH HAS A RACE PROBLEM. Bishop Newman says it ia Between Ameri can Born and Foreign Bom. Bishop John P Newman of Omaha. Nc-b ., has written an oren letter on the nouxnern question, which is attracting widespread attention. Referring to his f peech at the Virginia Conference he j says: "You have the lace question to settle as to the whites and blacks ; we have the race question to settle as to the Ameri can bora and the foreign born,. With you it is a question with your own peo ple; with 'us it is the North against all Europe. You have the easier task. The South has not been overrun by foreign ers indifferent to our institutions. This is what I meant by the 'purest American blood was to be found in the South,." and that because of this it might bo that the South would have to march forth. 'in defence of our dtarest institutions iT have been saving this in th North for the pnst twenty years on many public oc casions. "In all my tour in the South I spoke words of peace and unity, and since my return North I have spoken like words to President Harrison and-to our states men. It was a joy to me that I found the young men in Florida, in the Caro lines, in Georgia, in Virginia, loval to S the Union of the fathers. I suggested to the Administration to put men in office in the South of high repute, who will promote Southern prosperity, intelli gence, and religion." Domestication of the Buffalo. Regarding, then, the buffalo as an animal well worthy conserving, what are his good arid bad points? First of all, he is hardy, not liable to disease, and on the plains of the American and Canadian Northwest he can forage in deep snow and live in the open air all winter long. Hi3 meat brings nearly as good a price as beef. His robe is worth $25 to $40 ; and hi3 head taxidermized, thanVa to the decorative tastes of sportsmen, fetches as mucn as the robe, or even more. So much for the credit side of the account; now for the debit. The buffalo ia . strong brute, and of a temper at times so fierce that his domestication is a task not seldom accompanied by decided hazard. Ordinary fences are as gossamer to a buffolo bull, especially during the irritable years when he is past his prime and finds nomseii less attractive than of yore. Still, the example of well-behaved domestic cattle, with which buffaloes readily amalgamate, is very effective. It is not. however, in mere domestication, but in, cross-DreemniT. that h - o i - """"iu t Biuo consists, in painnsr a buffalo bull and domestic cow the young are brought forth without any unusual percentage of loss being sustained. The offrorin? combine jgoou pomia oi sue and dam.

Its robe i3 much more valuable n the buffalo's; for its fur, instead of be ing chiefly bunched at the 'mane, is evenly distributed over the hide, and is much finer in quality its present value beinff from $50 to $75. A buffalo paired with half-breed cow produces an animal auita as hardy as its sire, but not quite so large. -ycr.aenu oi mucn Interest are in progress with various strains of domestic cattle, the outcome promising to be per haps only less important than the original domestication, and BtibseneTit-mnlT,,-, .ZV iu catue iroia . their 'priiaitjTB RELIGIOUS BEADl good for EVTL.

WHAT .tfCST I DO TO EE LOS r? What must I do to be lost "Neglect r, great salvation." It is not necessary to da anything. We are lost already. Jeus 0f. fers to save us; but if we reject His cjy. we remain as we were. "How shall we cape if we neglect so great silvation!-"' Es cape is impossible if we neglect th? only means of safety. If a deadly serpent bites you, and you refuse the only remedy, jm die. If you are drowning, and will not seize the life-buoy thrown to you, you sink. Se lect is ruin.
