The British and Foreign Bible Socfety of London operates on even a larger scale thau oar own American Bible Society.. .Last year 4.479.439 copies were print et and distributed; since 1804. when the society was organized, it has issued no leas tban 160,009, 303 Bibles.

Plaoe of the Stately Poplars Eoooeiaged by ; The Government. United Stales Consul-Hilary -8.

The Government having first set the example, the communes in cer tain departments adopted . thi practice as a soirrce pf revenue, so that now roadside f niit cult! vation has become an important branch of national industry, It is : not, however, i only in France that fruit trees Jjave been planted along tbe " roadside; ' in Germany, ; Belgium, 'and the Duchy of Luxemburg, the system has been greatly developed, giv satisfaction to the state as well as to the local interests. On the routes v of . Wiirtemberg, for instance, the fruit harvest from this source produced io-1878ove 200.000. and last year, the return had more than trebled-The- an nual revenue derived from the national roads of Saxon planted wito fruit trees rose from 9,000 in 1880 to $42,000 in 1892, furn ishing a total sum of $340,000 for the thirteen years. "In Belgium, accoiding to the statistics of 1894, over 4,630 kilometers of roads were, planted with 741,571 fruit trees, whichurnished the almost incredible sum of $2,000,000. In France,-the production of fruit trees Is estimated at $60,000,000. In Westphalia,'. in duchies of Baden and Saxe-Weimar, in Al sace-Lorraine, Switzerland, etc the employees of the adminisfra tion of roads and biidges and the road supervisorsare icsrf uctedin fruit arboriculture, t, In some of the - southern departments . of France the roads i are- bordered with cherry trees, producing, the 8 mall fruit called merise (wild cherry) much' upprecia ted for making' wine' suigeneris, pre serves, and even alcohol; Iu the Tou raine. pi um trees 'x . - m- ; dominate; while in tbe Allier and the Limagne,' the walnut trees transform the roads - into ; shady walks.

The farmers Appealed in such strone terms that the com munes decided the fall of the pop ular, and soon axes and saws were " brought into requisition and - the roads cleared of these rees in favor of the humble, but more useful, mira belie (small plum), to the great satisfaction of the villagers..: Thousands of bas kets of this fruit are shipped to Paris daily . Some thirty years ago, the dis tillation of the miarbelle was un- unknown ia the country districts; the people plucked it as food for their swine; but today, they have learned to make more profitable use of it. ' They distill it in large quantities and find a ready mar ket for it. A quart of this alco hol, slightly perfumed,' sold five or six years ago for only 20 or 80 cents; today, it brings not less than 50 or 60 cents, while in Paris tbe best kind can not be obtained nder$I.

Clean in character, industrious in habit; studious in manner and proclaiming himself a man among men, Benjamin Harrison Is a citizen of whom the United States may well feel proud. The fact; also, that a man -who had once tasted the vastness of power, should relinquish it with pleasure and engage in an honest avocation, is another feature which will arouse comment The French borders are always beset by tbe presence of pretenders to power whose only claim is that of family inheritance. They live, by bleeding their followers who hope tor repayment when the time of restoration comes. The Ameri can, on the contrary, calmly re sumes his citizenship and feels as distant from tbe control of empire'as if he had never had it in bis bands. Toa world of conventionalism and tradition this lesson of Amer ican man-hood must prove an en grossing study.' .

Specious Fallacy. ;Ii,has eYen.tberueefentrochn ed tower and privilege to repress progress by ridiculing those who favor : progress as malcontents, dissatisfaction with present condi tions is the basis of alt human ad vancement It sustained the first great democratic movement, the evolution of the Christian religion; it gives birth to the Reformation of Luthtjr;it people tbe new world with heady emigrants; it lighted the fires of tbe American Re vol u tion and enthroned Liberty; and please God. it will hurl from pow er the money changers, monopo lists, stock waterei's, bond usur pers and imperialists who now pollute Liberty's temple. Contentment is the enemy of progress, and retrogression sets when progress ceases. Ex cept for the neei of fo id, the human race would in a few gen artions cease efforts,and instead of the desire for raiment' even, would hibernate like a snake.
