' Iilfo and Half Life. It is frequently necessary to the gain ing of daily bread 'that a bnman being stay in one spot for a term of yean. - It should not bo always, however. The in dividual who is rooted to one spot and see? no more of life than it manifest among the neighbors and chums who aro exactly like himself is mentally and . spiritually a dwarf. He grows full of prejudices and cranky notions. Aotions the most innocent in themselves appear to him full of all wiokedness, beouuse Jhey run counter to his stiff and narrow prejudices. The little ailments, gossip - and infinitesimal events In the lives of his acquaintances assume gigantic pro portions. ' ; To an outsider the person who has taken root in one spot affords material for infinite amusement. The rnralist visiting the oity, the narrow lived oity , dweller visiting the country have been subject for joke time out of mind, and mall blame to those who laugh at them. ' Only "the person who has. traveled, who has seen life and nature in many phases, is well rounded and really Intel ' ligent It does men and women good to get away from their own. little cabin now and then and take in the fact that there are people handsomer, more grace - fnl, learned and gifted than themselves and thoir neighbors. They learn that . the matters which seem mountains to them at home are really pinheads in the grand, round up. They become tolerant, wise, broad minded, better mannered and better looking. There is really and truly no education like travel. Our race is by instinct a race of wundercrs, and it is best that we- Bbonld be so during intervals of our lives at least. Most .people even suoceed better financially away from their ohild hood home. Millionaire and Pauper. A comparison of some census figures shows startling effects in the distribu tion of wealth to population in this country. Rhode Island as an agricul tural section is perhaps the-poorest part of the Union. Set the gain in wealth made by Rhode Island between 1880 and 1890 was $41,000,000 greater than that of Mississippi, South Carolina, In diana and Illinois all put together. The same condition holds good of every part of New England, which is Iiliu uiAJii'nv bctuujvu iu nut, wujiui nil 1 1 - , culturally. Massachusetts alone gained , in wealth $11,000,000 more than ten of the southern and western states gained unitedly, although these states have nine times the population of Massaohn- oren even down to a tender age read, aette. Now York gained in wealth $7,-' studied and asked to be informed in 000,000 more than the combined in- 'monetary science. Never were the prin erease of 16 of the most productive agri-! ciploB of finance in all their phnses so cultural states of the Union.

Cavill U an Australian, and it is to be regretted that no American was fonnd to perform ' the feat, but that does not take away ' from the credit of the performance it self. The distance straight across is only . miles, only half the width of tha historlo Hellespont, which Leander warn to meet Hero and finally went once too often and was drowned. But v the currents in the Golden Gate swim make it exceedingly diffloult to accom plish. Cavill started out bravely enough, but a quarter of a mile from shore he met the ripple of the outgoing tide. Experienced swimmers agree that it is useless to attempt to swim against the .tide. That pouring out through the nar . row Golden Cafe" channel was like mill race. The Australian turned and ; lot it carry bim out till he reached a ' point where he took advantage of a cur rent from the opposite shore. Then he completed tho long and heavy swim. It took him ono hour and a quarter to do the whole distance. Cavill uses the right aide stroke. , . ; South Carolina has been blamed for - ILiL 1 I J . DA 11 . ninuj luiuga iu ueruuy, dui me crown .

The year 1896 will be long remem bered as the culminating period of busi ness depression. : Not so in the cotton mills of the south, however. . While the textile fabrio Industry in other parts of tha-JTmon has had to report idle mills, strikes and reduced wages the business in the southern states fans gone steadily enward. . . : , ' In 1880 there were onif 164 cotton mills in the whole south. By 1890 the number had grown to 283." In 1880 the amount of raw cotton consumed by the mills was 87,610,889 pounds. By 1890 the quantity was 878,256,109 pounds, showing that the amount of cotton used up bad increased comparatively more than the number of mills. Through all the financial depression lasting from the autumn of 18U3 till the present time the ootton spinning indus try in the south has gone pji growing uninterruptedly. This year there are 853 mills, humming away night and day, some of them, and spinning and weaving 480,548,880 pounds of cotton. North Carolina has the most mills 139. Flor ida has none. Tho ideal situation is realizod in the location of these mills, the factories for the consumption of tho raw material being on the ground where the raw ma terial is produced. The south had little to lose by hard times in comparison to the manufacturing states of the north, while she had everything to gain. She is gaining, and that rapidly. Her mill workmen earn money to buy food and pay the farmers who raise that food the cash for it, and that means prosperity all around. Her climate is mild and healthful, her soil fertile. So sure are northern cotton mill owners of the fu ture of the cotton factory in the south that many of them have actually fur nished the capital to build the southern mills. Tho Campaign That Was. Apart from tho atrocious lies with which some speakers and writers deemed it necessary to embellish their contribu tions, the presidential campaign just passed has been conducted with remark able intelligence and ability. It was more thoroughly a campaign of educa tion than we have had since the war. It , is notable that brilliant, fiery or senti 1 mental oratory met with little favor.

He made it his business to go in person to Rome and explain to the Italian government our immigration laws and regulations, in order that there might not be so many disappoint ments suffered by Italians coming to this country or so many of them re turned to their own land. The .Italian authorities thanked the commissioner heartily for his trouble and for the friendship shown Italy by the" United States. It would be as bard to get on without the Italians in the east as it Would to get on without Chinese in the far west. The brawny, strong built, bard working Italian does now nine- tenths of 'all tho rough labor in some sections of the east The American will not do it, the German will not do it, neither the Irishman. They have learned better. Only the Italian remains, and it is a question how long it will be before be finds out bow to live without hard work. ; '' There was paid out for pensions this year of 1806 the mm of $188,000,000. The falling off in the number of old pensioners and the addition to the pen sion list of new names were about even, showing that 1896 marks the turning of the tide in the pension roll From this time on the list will decrease in num bers unless a general pension law should be passed. TLm may be done at some future time, though not for several years yet At present there are 970,000 names on the pension roll, lnolnding disabled soldiers, soldiers' widows and minor orphans. ; .

Stead ob the Eastern Question. It is a satisfaction to see how W. T. Btead roars at England in referenoe to the Armenian question. In The Review of Reviews he reminds his oountry that 20 years ago Russia undertook to liber ate Bulgaria from Turkish rule and Turkish atrocities. Russia accomplished her work alone. Then England, through ber jealousy of Russia, refused to allow that oountry to enjoy the fruits of vic tory. In the Berlin congress 20 years ago, at the making of the treaty of San Stefano, "it was England and none other that canceled the clause giving Russia the right to compel the Turks to guar antee the "Armenians against outrages and massacre: " At the Berlin congress England's ministers "re-enslaved one third of Bulgaria, delivered over Ar menia to the uncovenanted mercies of the sultan and then ran off with Cyprus as their wages for a crime almost un paralleled in history for its combination of Pharisaism and theft " Such being the fact, Mr. Stead thinks it not surprising that Russia nor any other European nation has any confi dence in England now. In brief, the Armenian situation, horrible as it is, is due to England's crime of SO years ago, when she refused to let Russia force re ligions liberty for all his subjects down the throat of the sultan. To make amends for this contemptible conduct in 1878 Stead considers that England should now make redress and crawl out of the consequences of her act the same way she crawled in. Prince Lobanoff said shortly before his death that Russia was powerless to aid tho Armenians because "England was com mitted by the Anglo-Turkish convention to defend the sultan against Russia should she take any action to protect the Armenians against their oppressors." Therefore England herself is responsible for the deplorable situation in Armenia. To reform it England should, in the judgment of Mr. Stead, first evacuate Cyprus and turn it over to the porte as an earnest that she is not merely playing her old game of grab. Next there should be a congress of all the powers which should guarantee reforms in Turkey. Third, the carrying out of those reforms should be intrusted to Russia under the superintendence of the powers. There are those fond of calling ours degenerate times and of saying that heroism and self sacrifice are dead, slain by greed and cowardly selfishness. But there are heroes still. There is as much of the spirit that would lay down life for nnother as there ever was. It comes to the surface when thore is great occa' sion, as there was in that explosion in a coal mine at Wilkesbarre, Pa., recently. A few men were at work iu No. 1, changing the uir course iu the tunnel. Suddenly those on the outsido heard an explosion. A blast of air and gas poured out of the mouth of the tunnel like the sweep of a tornado. There was a sound of wreckage and flying dobris, then a horrible silence. Men rushed toward the mouth of the mine. The first thought of all was for the men inside. Were they living or dead? In less time than it takes to write it a res cue party was formed. It was a volnu' toer party, and those who led it were the old fire boss, William R. Jones, and the assistant mine foreman, John Joseph. They knew if they did not return their children would be fatherless, yet know ing this they hesitated not a second, but hurried down the shaft if possible to res- oue their comrades. The rescuers had not proceeded far before the choking fire damp caught them, as they had feared it would. They made a hasty exploration and returned to the light and air. But they left two of the rescuers lying dead in the mine, William Jones and John Joseph. A notable feature of the Hnngarian millennial celebration was the formal opening of the Danube in the portion which has so long obstructed navigation. The Iron Gates of the Danube were a scries of rocks that made itsohannel ex tremely dangerous for steamers for i distance of five miles in one portion of its length. For six years the Hungarians have been blasting out these rooks. It was an enterprise larger even than clear ing East river at Hell Gate. But the work is done, and Emperor Franois Jo seph himself formally dedicated the ohannel, amid theoheersof thousands of his subjects. The Danube is now open from the head of navigation to tho Dar danelles. Centenarians need not now hesitate to learn to ride the blcyole through fear tbey are too old. Gladstone will be 87 in December, and Gladstone is to learn to ride the wheel so as to accompany his favorite grandchild, Dorothy Drew. The sight of the greatest statesman of mod ern Europe, aged 87, soorohiug along the road on a bioyole will be not the least of the impressive sights of this strange end of the nineteenth eentury. A Cuban patriot general declares that within bis certain knowledge as many people, striotly noncombatants, have been slain in 'cold blood by the Span iards during the present war iu Cuba at have been put to doath by the Turks in Armenia. All civilization is bowling at the Armenlau massacres, but no word is spoken in protest against the atrocities in Cuba. , ' Do not let anybody else do your think ing for you not your preacher, doctor or even your editor.
