America The World Feeder. From the World. l'be figures of our foreign commerce for toe fiscal year ending June 30 are el cqoent and Instructive. Our total exports exceeded $1,200,000, COO a record breaking figure. Of these the products of agriculture exported amounted to 854,ti27,929, an increase of more than (170,000,000 over the figures of the proceeding year. Of the total increase in ocr exports, which was almost wholly of agricultural products, the increase to European countries was $160,000,000. These cus tomers of onrs took altogether 1973,609, 289 of our products. So much is "abroad" tons! In other words we feed Europe. In spite of the hostility of Germany and France to the American hog, and in spite of every kind of petty oppoaition to and persecution of our exporting in dustry, we are still the world's granary and the source of its food supply. Any interruption in this supply would mean a diMurbance of values and prices in every European market such as few European governments could stand. The result would be the absolute hunger of the working classes, of the bread-win ners and of the bread-eaters. Riots and anarchy and the overturning of govern ments and dynasties would be the ul timate result of any long continued in terruption of the American food supply. The peace and security of the United Mates are guaranteed by its crops. So long as our farmers furnish the military camps of Europe with their rations there is no danger of their disturbing the peaceful supremacy. ALL SORTS.

Official statistics for British India a lonesbow that about 21,000 people and 90,000 domestic animals are killed there every year by wild animals. As a recompense for soldiers who have been wounded in battle and discharged on to is account, Spain allows such men to beg in the pndlic street. Among the RiSian pirates ot Morocco the women do all the agricultural and other bard work, while the men, when at borne, do the cooking and mend the clothes, including the women's.

Peace At Last. 1 Again there is peace in the land, not I the most salubrious kind of peace, but nevertheless peace. Perhaps there are no wings on it though. Ths war is over according to the present situation of Affaire. What has it accomplished. Ths result Is much more than was anticipatsd when the war began on the 23rd day of April. Then only the freedom of the Cubans was sought, but the result presents a grsat deal more to the woild, tbe entire free dom of the western hemisphere from the Spanish rnle. The Spaniard will no more have any thing to do with this aide of tbe world in tbe matter of government a consummation of which we may be justly proud. This fact alone le enough glory for America, and It is a glorious event when the history, of the Spanish nation is considered. Spanish rale in the West Indies was not a civilised rale, hence it was only Justice that it should be stopped, and it was the province of the United States to do it. An important thing in connection with the result is the accession by the United States of the very important island of Porto Rico. Though not a large pro vince, being only slightly larger in ex tent than the county of Linn, yet it is a very rich country and under our govern ment its resources will increase immense ly. Its population is twice that of the j state of Oregon. Its climate is delight ful, varrying from 60 to 84 degrees daring the year. Its people will be good clUtena of a character easily to get along with. Whether we secure the Philippines or not is not so very Important. The annexation of the Sandwich Is lands has resulted from tbe war much earlier than wonld otherwise have occur red. Tbe construction of the Nicaraugua canal, of Inestimable value to the Pacific coast will follow. The war baa placed the United States in the front ranks of tbe nations of the world, we hope without giving Uncle Sam the big bead. It has united the North and the South jn bands that cannat be broken, burying tbe old bloody sh'rt forsver. We are one peop i It has increased ths loyalty of oar peo ple, giving to tbe world an example of love for country unparalleled in history. It has demonstrated the fact that we are living in a civilised age, when a country mutt be governed on bnmane lines, or there will arise a champion of 'rresistable courage to fight for tbe right.

Tbe New York World exactly gives tne situation in the following: The corres pondent of the London Times at Cavite is "reluctant to believe that the Americans came simply to support the insurgents eanee and to establish a Republic. The idea is no more wrong and abrarb than the other idea that we went to the Philippines to capture and bold the island-It is well to ke.-k the main fact in view Our Pacific fleet, under tbe command of Dewy, went to Manila because th. Spanish fleet ander Montojo was titer. The orders of oar Admiral were toufiad the Spanish fleet and capture or destroy it," He went to Manila for this specific purpose, and no other. How splendidly he exeuted hie instruction the whole world knowe. It with the last Spanish ship and gun boat in the Southern Pacific captured or destroyed Admiral Dewy bad been order ed to come home with his victorious shin to help finish op tbe war in Cuba and Porto Rico, and in Spain it neceeaary.we should have avoided this embarrassing and costly complication. cut caving remained and being rein forced with an army there is nothing to do but to capture and bold Manila and its superb bay and harbor.

Tim oldest newspaptr in the world is the Tsing-Pao. or Peking News, founded n the year 710 A. D. Until quit re icentlv it was supposed that the Kin Pan a Chinese jairnal published in Pekin for the last 1,000 ears, was tbe oldest news paper in the world. In a very able work recently published, however Im baut Huart, the French consul at Canton shows that the biitb honor belongs to tbe Tsing-Pao, which has been publish ed coptiouortily sinre the year 710, and btbu am io nave ueen lounded some zw years before that date, or early in tbe sixth century, 800 years before a newspaper was known in Ed rope.

OUTING NO. 8. .When a man is at a summer resort, he needs some kind of amusement. Some times it is difficult to find the klud in which he takes much Interest. But strange aa It may seem, Caeleba seldom fails to find enjoyment In watching the effects of Cupid's random shooting Per haps it is wicked in him to be amused wbsn he sees that two have been wound ed by the reckless shooting of the naughty little shooter. How wicked such amusement is he will allow tbe reader to judge from a few specimens. A few weeks ago, a young man and bis girl from Cor-allis drove np to tbe hotel about noon on Sunday. It did not require much gumption to see that both bad been bit by Cupid's arrows and vs. still suffering from the effects of the wounds. In helping his girl out ot the buKgy.tbe young man waa evidently very much afraid the dear creature wonld make same slip and be badly hurt. To prevent any direful calamity, be took tbe precious treasure in his arms and land ed her safely on the sidewalk. When tbey went to the Minerat Spring to quench their thirst after a long rtse.they walked in close proximity, and the young man seemed to have great difficulty in keeping hie arm from getting out of place in broad day-light In front of tbe hotel. Once in the afternoon they happened to be theonly occupants of tbe sitting r.Mm. A side glance through the door revealed the fact that tbey were not sitting at opposite aides ot tberoom. Was it wick ed in Caelebe to be amused T For three aucsssive weeks, in Camp Dewey, there was an attraction, whose influence was felt twenty miles away and was so great that it never failed to draw a young man of Albany to the center of attraction every Sunday. Well, there is nothing vsry amazing in that, perhaps some one says. I admit it. But just wait a little while. Yon bave heard all. here was a marked difference between he attracting body and tbeattrated one, in one respect. One was "long for this world" and the other -raj The dif ference, in connection with tbe concomi tant ciicumstaneee, which have to be sen to be appreciated, furnished amuse ment to Caelebe and called forth from mm tne remara-, mat be bad long ago aectaea tnat ne wouki never marry a woman to whom be would bsve to look np, when he waa walking by her eide. bix leet and three Inches wonld oe too much of a good thing and would deprive him of the pleasure ot ever addressing her ae hie "dear little wile." Do yon eee why Caelebe wae amused ? There ie attraction here for another Albany young man; bat he has been shy enough to deprive Caelebe ot any amuse ment except in ble shyness. He does not bring bis girl to the hotel for dinner but dines with ber, thus giving tbe boarders no opportunity of seeing bow badly be is smitten. My private opinion u, that tbe wound is a serious one, but he does not make much ado about it. I think his caes is simitar to that of an otbsr young man in A.bany, wno, not many weeks ago, visited Sodaville In company with his girl. Neither of tbem is tbe "sick kitten-kind of lover, who larnishee amassment to some observers ' and disgusts others. Bnt both act more like men who cad been married several men ths. Suon after my arrival in Sodaville, I made tbe discovery, that Cupid daring the past year, either by reckless or inteo tial shooting bad wounded two of tbe town. A careful diagnosis of the leads me to tbe belief, that tbe wounds are likely to prove fatal. I have been unable to observe any improvement 1 n tbe last six week. In fact, I believe the sy mptons are more alarming than tbey were when the diagnosis waa made. I am very much inclined to believe that nothing will cure them bnt a doee of matrimony. If time and space permitted, I might tell ot three young men of Albany with their beet girls wbo visited Sodaville last Sunday ; bnt I will not, I will merely say that tbe yonng men were very devoted and tbe girls were highly pleased with their devotion. At any rate that w tbe impression made on Casus. MISFITS. Only a day or twofafter Biamark died, Bismark. N. D. named after himlwas nearly wiped eut by fire.
