Ehitor (Jatcasian: Searching for date quite a different nature, I found in an old book, published in !!)( called "An Historical, Geogra phical, commercial and Philosophi cal view of United States America," by W. Winterbotham, the following: '1 lie policy of a loan-office was also eminently beneficial. The proprie taries of Pennsylvania sold their lauds in small tracts, and on long credit. The purchasers were indul ged with the liberty of borrowing; on interest, paper bills of credit, out of the loan-office, on the mortgage of their lands. Perhaps there never was an institution which contributed more to the happiness yf the peo ple, or to the nourishing of a new country, than this land loan-office scheme The province being enrich ed by the clear interest of its loaned paper, was thereby enabled to de fray the expenses of government with moderate taxes. The indus trious farmer was furnished with the means of cultivating and stocking his farm. These improvements, by increasing the value of the land, not only established the credit of the paper, but euabled the borrower, in a few years to pay off the original loan with the productions of the soil. The progressive improvement of Pennsylvania may be estimated from the increase of its trade. In the year 1 704, that province imported goods from the mother country, amounting in value only to eleven thousand four hundred and ninety nine pounds sterling, but in 1772 to the value of five hundred and seven thousand nine hundred and nine pounds, an increase of nearly fifty to one in little more than half a cen tury." The loan office in 1704 answers to our treasury in 1893.

There died recently a woman who dur ing one of the battles of the civil war rescued the flag from the enemy and held it aloft in a rain of bullets undaunted in the face of death. It is now known that hundreds of women from various mo tives donned the uniform of the volun teer, shouldered a musket and inarched to the front. Miss Carroll's services are still a matter of debate in congress, and 6he will eventually secure substantial justice and the reward that she so richly merited. History is full of examples of womanly heroism. There has been no political crisis in which they, too, have not toiled and suffered, walking to the stake, lay ing their heads upon the block and as cending the steps of the gallows without a tremor. In ' many straits it has been women who have inspired and encour aged the men, showing how heroism may rise superior to physical limitations and fearlessness remain undaunted to the end. Chicago Inter Ocean. Something Queer About Flies. Close observers have noticed that flies will gather on a half drunken, sleepy sot. while a dozen sober men in tne same room are not molested by them. The flies will buzz around their subject with great delight, frequently alighting on his perspiring face. Off they will go and return again and again, quaffing tne al coholic nectar issuing from his. pores. After awhile their flight becomes un certain and eccentric, and sometimes they come in collision. Recently a drunken man raised his hand and brushed them from his face. Some fell to the floor and lay there paralyzed. After awhile they got on their feet and weart ly flew off, half dazed. Perhaps they had a bead on. Austin Statesman. IN ONE HUNDRED YEAIB Great Things Shall Come tc j Pass in 1993. INC. ALLS III. ADS THE FUTURE.

Those who fail will outnum ber those who succeed. Wealth will accu mulate, business will combine, and the gulf between the rich and the poor will be more profouud. I5ufc wj'ler education and greater activity of the moral forces of the race will ultimately compel recognition of the fact that the differences letween men are or ganic and fundamental that they result from an act of God and cannot be changed by an act of congress. The attempt to abolish poverty, pay debt and cure the ills of society by statute will bo the favorite prescription of ignorance, incapacity and credulity for the next hun dred years, as it has been from the begin ning of civilization. The condition in the United States is unprecedented, from the fact that all the implacable and malcon tents are armed with the ballot, and if they are unanimous they can control the p.irse and the sword by legislation, but the perception that the social and political condition here, with all its infirmities, is immeasurably the best will undoubtedly make our system permanent and preserve it even against essential modifications.

From Our New York Correspondent. Mr. M. C. D. Borden has within the past year gained distinction as one of the great powers in a certain branch of the commer cial and business world. He isan authority on cotton maun fact uring especially, and has recently completed one of the greatest cot ton miils in the world. When asked his opinion of the future of manufacturing in terests, especially cotton manufacturing, Mr. Borden said: Cotton manufacturing in the south has come to stay. It is going to be greatly de veloped in the next century. It is going to be of vast benefit to that section of the country. The number of mills will be great ly increased and the quality of the product steadily improved. This will add millions to the wealth of the cotton producing states. The pre-eminence of the New England states in cotton manufacturing will not, however, be threatened by this great and healthy development in the south. I do not look for any serious competition be tween the manufacttirers of the two sec tions, but lam inclined to think that in the next century it will be found that Ameri can cotton manufacturers will have wrest ed the markets of the world from the great manufacturers of England, who have for the greater part of this century controlled these markets. Just as surely as the tide rises, just so surely American cotton goods in the next century are going to command the markets of the world. We have already almost reached that point. We are compet ing in some sections of the world with Man chester, and successfully. I think this is true, too, of many other lines of American manufactures. Our peo ple are slowly, perhaps, but surely reaching the time when American goods will be in greater demand than those produced in Great Britain or upon the continent of Europe. In the next century the dawn of that day when our manufacturing suprem acy is acknowledged will le witnessed, and, I think, by many people who are now living. The commercial development of the United States in the Twentieth century will be prodigious. Those of us who are in business life now get some hint of it, and it is clear to me that while we are to be the greatest agricultural nation iu the world we are also just as surely reaching forward for commercial and manufacturing suprem acy as for supremacy in these products of the soil. It is going to tie a great century to live in, this one which begins seven years hence. Joaquin Miller's Prediction. I am not wise or learned in things to be, but will venture a few predictions. In the first place, our government will be less com plex and go forward year after year with less friction and better results like an im proved machine. We will cut off the for eign vote, the ignorant vote and the ver dant vote. As we grow letter in body and mind venerable men will have their place of honor, as of old. If a good man by tem perance and healthful toil and wise care preserves his body and mind, like Glad stone, for example, he has saved the life of it least one citizen, a brave thing to do of ild. And it is not fit that such a man should be put in a prize ring to fight with lusty young adventurers for his place in the sen ate. It is already his by right Let 10,000 entirely qualified voters, representing at least 100,000 people, send up to the state capital their oldest man, and it is ali on the register. Let the state then send to Wash ington its two oldest Gladstones as sena tors, and so on up to the president, and so on town to the justice of the peace. What a saving of time, temper, manhood, money! When we have grown a generation or two of Thurmans, Blaines, Gladstones, we will leave elections in the hands of God, where we found them. This is my plan, my prophecy. As for cities, we will build new ones, on pleasant, beautiful sites, as men now build hotels. Even noj millions are waitiifg for those who will build a new city, complete sewers, pipes, pavements, all things com plete, and empty the unclean and rotten old into the healthful and pleasant new. We are going to have great cities, such as have not been. Whereabouts I don't kuow, but all the world is going to town. -Machinery has emancipated man from the fields. What about big fortunes? Well, I think we will some day require the bulk of the rich man's money, when he is done with it, of course, to build national parks with and in other ways help the nation which helped rd m to $ hold of it.

Ex-Senator Warner Miller, in xprakiiii; of the Niotraxiu. canal project, suid: "In the early vt-;u-s of the uext century it is iiig to be !!: file to go from New York b steamer to San lraucisco or the South American countries without making ihe trip through the Straita of Magtllan. The Nicaraguau canal is ns sure to tie built as tides are to ebb and iluw and the seasons to change. If the United States doe not build it, either by private subscript ion or through the encouragement of the government, it will lie built by tlio-e who live in other lands. The canal is inevitable, and the ef fect of its construction ufiii the destiny of the United States is something almost in conceivable, "It is to be as conspicuous an engineer ing triumph of the next reutury as the Suez canal wat of this. The tonnage which will be carried through it will within five years after opeaing exceed the tonnugu that passes through Suez. Its effect upon the railway problems of the United States no man can accurately forecast, but it will le enormous. It is going to furnish means fuc the development of the magnificent wealth of the South American countries, and if the United States coutrols the canal, or United States capital does, this develop ment will be enormously to our own ad vantage. "I cannot speak with enthusiasm enough of this vast undertaking which is to see its triumph in the Twentieth century. I don't believe any man, however vivid his imag ination, can fully suggest the enormous in fluence which this artificial water highway will have upon the commercial destiny of the United States. If I hhould suggest ono half of what 1 believe to be possible I might be regarded as an absurd dreamer." From Chief Statistician ltroek, of the Treas ury Depart inent, I believe that in l'J03 we will have the most jierfect republican form of govern ment in the United States that was ever conceived iu the iniuds of the wisest rtates meu, am the social condition of the people will he such that there will be no suffering from the deprivation of the necessities of life. All will have happy homes. Vice and immorality will largely if uot abogether have ceased to exist. There will bo not only great intellectual but very great moral advancement. We are making wonderful strides in that direction now. There will be less government than there is now, and it will be more simple. There is no likelihood that the railroads and telegraphs will ever be managed by the state, for the reason that when the state takes charge of railroads and telegraphs there would be the same reason that the government should take charge of all other enterprises w hich are now owned and con trolled by individuals, such as street car lines, manufactures, steamship lines, farms. Individual enterprise and opportunities would largely cease. There would be no incentive, or comparatively none, for in vention or for individual effort of any kind. All citizens would simply become wards of the nation and would receive their portions front t he state and would return to inaction or indolent 'ffort. Probably the government will then own and control all the products of our gold and silver mines, and they will be held by the government, as now, for the purpose of redeeming the paper obligations of the gov ernment, although such redemption will largely lie unnecessary for the reason thj.t there will be such stability in our financial laws that the people will not question Hie value of any of the obligations of the gov eminent. The people by this time will have become educated to such an extent that the vice of intemperance will largely cease, saloons or public drinking places will probably no longer exist, and stimulants of any kind, if used at all, will probably be only seen in the family. Improved methods of treatment for the coniinijjnent aud punishment of criminals will be inaugurated and much more atten tion be given to their reformation than to their punishment. Wealth undoubtedly will be much more evenly distributed. There will be great com fort and,prosperity with the masses as well. The condition of the laboring classes will be less dependent and greatly improved, and there will be more friendly relations existing between employers and the em ployees, better understanding and greater equality. Methods of agriculture will be such and the Improvement in agricultural machinery so great that all the immense population of 1993 will be amply provided for, and American tftizens wil' continue to be the best dressed, the best fed and the best house J people of the world. There will be great advancement in all the professions in literature, music and the drama. People will be longer lived. They will understand much better the nature of their wants and the treatment of diseases. They will be better natured and more con ciliatory: consequently there will be less need of the laws and laws' methods. The whole tendency of the race will be to ward comfort, leisure, luxury, cultivation, simplicity in dress and broadiVcharity in all social relations. The race will be hand somer, healthier and happier than ever be fore in the history of the world. S. G. BROCK. experience ot an English Woman. Mrs. Jane Cobden Unwin sailed for England last week, leaving a delightful impression upon all who met her. This lady had a singular experience a few years ago in the London county council. Mrs. Unwin, then Miss Jane Cobden, was elected a member of the county council, at the isanie time as Lady Sand hurst. In the case of Lady Sandhurst the defeated candidate contested the election on the ground that a woman was not legally eligible. The court sus tained him, and Lady Sandhurst was unseated. But in Miss Cobden's district the defeated candidate was a man who believed in haviDg women on the coun cil, and he declined to contest the elec tion. In Englauel if a s ear is allowed to elapse before an election is called in question it must be regarded as valid, and no contest can be raised later. Miss Cobden allowed a year to pass, and then the legality of her election not having been contested she took her seat. This made a troublesome case for the courts, but she was finally unseated and was fined for illegal voting for every vote she had cast as a member of the council. Philadelphia Ledger. Curing a California Snake Bite. The hand and arm were first thorough ly cleansed in a hot, medicated wash, and the places where the rattlesnake's fangs entered were lanced, so that the poisoned blood might escape. It was again washed clean, and a S3J per cent oily solution of camphorated phenic acid was injected into some 25 places in the hand and arm. The only remaining treatment was to keep the parts perfectly clean. Any one bitten by a rattler should ini mediately suck the wound and spit out the blood. Then tie a handkerchief tightly above the wound and onen it with a clean penknife to let it bleed. While this is done, not a moment should he lost in getting to a surgeon.

JOHN UABBERTON I'roui the Author of "The Story of a Coun try Town," I think the growth of America in the next 1J0 yeai-s will be in simplicity. Thi-decade just closing has been noted for high pressure, a dissipation of energy A good inuny of our customs are worrying, but i. ntdity they do not pay. During the next century I believe the American icople will learn the important lesson that sitnple honest living is the goal to which men s.-uld leud their ener gies. Non.it inn has learned this lesson as it should have ln-en learned. The wonderful Americans will accomplish this result and distinguish themselves more than e ver be fore. Heretofore we have taught that men should be honest and just for the sake of religion or for the sake of society. The truth is, each individual should be honest and just to lenefit himself primarily aud religion and society Incidentally. Many Americans now believe that they might become rich if they would consent to become unfair. It is uot true. Fairness in all things is the first essential to success in everything. Men should be honest to oblige themselves. Folly always means de-gradation and unlmppiuess. Ihe eld races of men were cruel In the name of patriotism and religion. The men who live iu 11513, will be just because their conscience and well being demand it. Ihe men of the next century wUl realize as the men of no previous century realized that simplicity and honesty are the great helps in living. Nonsense has been so re spectable iu the piist that half the people took oil' their hats to it, but the coming man will iliscnrd much of that which has worried us and caused us to neglect those simple interests on which our happiness really depended. Half the things about which we worry are not of the slightest consequence. The coming man will know this, and he will have the greatest regard for the simple truth, about which there need be no doubt. So many men have lived and left histories that no one need go astray. The truth has always been mixed with nonsense. The men who will celebrate the fifth American centennial will have sepa rated the dial! from th wheat, and no teacher of nonsense will be encouraged, even though he claim that hia object is to do good. The great truth then will be that. whilehe necessity for simplicity and hon esty has always been taught, it has never been insisted upon as its importance de served. The splendid men of the century just dawning will know better than we do that every individual is guaranteed equal rights in life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness not by constitutions and governments, but by the Creator, and that no man need fail because he has failed to accumulate riches or greatness. This is the golden age, aud we are the most wonderful race of men that ever ex isted, but in considering our achievements we do not' ay proper attention to our faults. Future races of Americans will not neglect this. In the coming days, when the winds will whisper and the birds sing over our graves, men will talk less of pes simism and optimism and more of the can did truth with which the interests of the people are always connected. E. W. HOWE. A Novel Method of Lighting. A balloon with electric lights attached to it for lighting cities is the latest idea of turning the "light of lights" to a prac tical use. This idea may seem very vi sionary, but C. A. Smith, one of San Francisco's inventors, has sufficient con fidence in the scheme to commence oper ations of constructing a balloon for that purpose. This balloon will not be of the ordinary silk bag pattern, but will be made of aluminium in the shape of a cigar, pointed at both ends. It will he about 40 feet long and 15 feet in diameter at its largest point and will contain gas to sustain it. Fans will be constructed so as to hold it poinfr up to the wind. A cable con taining electric wires will hold it at a sufficient elevation so that the light will be spread over the area to be illuminated to the best advantage. The balloon will sustain six arc lights, or it can be so made as to be covered with incandescent lights, each one of which will be inclosed with a reflector so as to concentrate the rays of the light and throw them down ward. The inventor claims that, counting the first cost of the balloons and their main tenance, the total cost of lighting a city the size of San Francisco will be reduced considerably, as one balloon will suffice tor from four to six blocks. At the same time the tangle of deadly and unsightly wires from the streets will be removed and danger from fires reduced. San Francisco Call ' A View of the Modern Dinner Party. The dinner party has been viewed from the ethical point by Lady Magnus in a recent article. She says that "the ideal dinner party, the one constructed on ethical principles, gives due thought to its dinner and due thought to its party, and she brands as vulgar and pretentions the habit of hiring persons to entertain guests.

After the waist is fitted the dart are to be cut out, allowing from one-half to three quarters of an inch ix-am, according to the quality of the good.

The top of the under arm and side back piece are npt.tiKct stretched, which make a very unpleasant and inartistic bunch that nothing can correct. To prevent this run aba-sting thread with small st itches close to the tqipe-r edge where live x' are marked. The center lutck nieces must be hasted together, holding them tierfcotly straight and plain. It is a good plan to stick a few pins at intervals to keep them freim slipping or stretching. The side ImcW seams are the most difficult of all to liaste, and few of the Is-st droiM linkers even get them exact. The following rules w ill in sure sue-cess: 1.

The arm holes should be stretched a little around the front, which will prevent wrinkles, but the best dressmakers make a crescent pad of silk or muslin filled with cotton, which fills out the hollow place under the arm. The row of x's around the front of the armhole shows where it should lie stretched, and the second row shows w here the sleeve should be gathered. When all this has been done once and verified even to the al teration of any mistakes, the young dretta maker will have hid the foundation of a good workwoman, mid unless she is willing to take the pains it is not worth her while to begin. Write each person's measurement down in the little book, and in that way one can make a gown the second or third time with out trying ou ut all. To finish the wairt the seams must be pres-ed as soon a t hejiast ing stitches are out of those parts that join t he piece of the waist togt-ther, aud the t-dgts bound tr neatly overcast, notche Is-inx -.uule in the center to relieve the strain and bone cas ing run iu when desired.

HiRftlt, Bobbins Thine Against the Liberty BclL - When the Liberty bell arrived in the Union depot, a group of urchins rath ered around the car and passed np to one of the officers in charge flowers, keys, buttons, knives and other posses sions with the rvqust, 'Please, Mr. Offi cer, rub that against the bell for me." Superstition here came into play, and the objects thus consecrated will long be treasured as mascots. They are prob ably used to bring luck in craps, mar bles and penny ante; but. even so. the incident shows that young America has the deepest possible reverence for the emblem of liberty.
