All our Ideas of wealth are changing In tha United Statea. There are,so many rich people In different parts Of our country that unless a man leaves 1800,000 be Is considered aa approxi mating poverty. These large figures about property are exerting a bad ef fect upon the youth o{, tifTcountry. They art not content with labor aud •Ball fortune*, but are apt to regard themselves or their relatives aa no- bodlei unleaa they accumulate a large fortune. The determining Influence of accu rate gun fire demonstrated by the work of our squadrons has been recognized by tbs British admiralty. The per centage of bits made by English ships In target practice, both at moving and at stationary practice, waa of late so Inexplicably low that no reason could he advanced for It save the want of sufficient exercise with the battery. As a remedy the quarterly allowances of expenditures with ammunition have been doubled and the resultant profi ciency ought to be greatly Increased. The “honoW* of the French ermy has received another vindication by the sui cide of Oapt Caaaagnade, a t Toulouse.

A Chlcr-go man had his wife airested for lusaulty bccuuse she puuetured the tires of his bicycle with a hat pin. lu Ixleuuatlou the wife said that her husband loved bis wheel better tbau his wife and she wished to destroy Its fascinating Influence over him.

Men will refuse to give stteullou lo (heir wives because their bicycle ueeds special con sideration. They will neglect the one for Hie other. If (he Inuulmate, unre sponsive bicycle were un animated, responsive woman w ho rohbed the w Ifo of the attention that by right was hers, there would he grounds for jealousy and reasou fur the use of that hat pin; To be Jealous of a bicycle Is unreasona ble—tu a man. Not so to it woniuii. Mau'i luive Is of man's life a thing spurt; \i'ls wonhm’s whole existence. Again we are confronted by the old question as to whether womeu should propose. This time It has been raised by a lecturer lu New York aud dis cussed by such authorities as Mrs. LUlle Devereux Blake and Mrs. Eliza beth Cady Bunion, both of whom bold to the view' that she should. Mrs. Blake asserts (hut many girls nre loo shy for Iheir own good; flint they do not give a man sufficient encourage ment, and consequently full to get Hie proposal that they might as well have as uot. Possibly this Is true, but If a girl Is too ally to encourage n r -11111 to propose, Is It likely that she will have the lioldneBS to propose lierseif? Mrs. fitauton admits that girls do substan tially propose \with llielr eyes and In many oHier coy ways,” but she thinks they should bare tbe right to do It I 11 words. Here, however, she touches upon the point that Is the strongest argument tu favor of Hie present cus tom. A girl cau propose with tier eyes, aud as a general thing a man can not. A girl has the Intuition and tact that a man lacks. She Is quick to discover his feelings toward her, aud, having discerned them, she enn do with him about as she pleases, lu nine eases out of ten the proposal rests with her now, and probably cornea quicker thqn It would If either could ask the all-important questlun and each was waiting on the other. The illile arts by which a woman nltaliis her ends, matrimonially or otherwise, are what endear her to man In a large measure, aud to replace those by man's direct ness and bluntnesa would be to take away ome of her chief charms A man In ber position would be helpless, but she la not. The subtle Influences w hleh she employs In directing the course of ber love affairs are nattira! to her! pleasing to man, and exceptionally ef fective. Why make any change? HEAD REST IN BARBER SHOP.

Alien, assistant director oi experiment stutlous in the Agricultural Department, bus recently made a pro longed tour of the West for the purpose of Inspecting the various stations lu that section of the country. He states Hint one of the most Inter esting linos of Investigation which are being pursued lu these stations ta that with regard to clieesemukiug. The sta tion lu Wisconsin Is taking the lead In this especial work, aud discoveries have been made there which revolu tionize the European theory that the ripening of cheese Is due to hucteiia. The American experiments demon strate beyond doubt that the principal change tu the albuminoids which takes place in (lie ripening process Is depend ent upou a ferment which Is coutulued lu the milk Itself and uot to the bac teria, It Is believed that tills discov ery will have au Important bearing up ou cheese mauufacture In the future. fn the stations throughout the aeml- arid region much attention la being given to the Investigation of excessive alkali In the soli. In many sections, notably In California and Utah, there ure large regions of Irrigated land which are practically nonproductive on account of the presence of alkali. Investigation makes It plain that this Is due to Irrigation, and In many In stances to excessive Irrigation. The water applied to the soil brings the suits to the surface when It rises. The work of the experiment stations In con uectlon with this problem Is to find a remery for the evil, and thla they are seeking to do by demonstrating tbat In most Instances crops do uot require nearly so much water as Is applied to them. In Montana, Idaho and other semi arid States there la much work looking to securing forage plants adapted to tbe altitude and climate. In those states most satisfactory results have been se cured with tbe cow pea, which Is gen erally planted with oats. Red clover Is also found to flourish In that 'sec tion eveu better than lu the Eastern States. In other regions much atten tion Is given to the rotation of crops.
