NOT many years ago wise men said
that grain could never be grown
to any extent in the Argentine
Republic. The country was then import
ing millions of dollar' worth of wheat
every year, and the farmers who were
pasturing stock on what are now the
principal wheat fields were eating flour
shipped from the United States and
Chili. To-day the Argentine has to a
large extent the wheat trade of South
America, and is shipping wheat to Eu
rope. It plants millions ui svrri verjr
year and it produces from thirty to eighty
million bushels a season according to the
weather and to the invasions of the lo
custs. When the Argentine has a good
crop the prices of wheat in the European
markets are affected and our farmers
often get less for their wheat in conse
quence. In the past year or so flour
mills have tnen springing up and the Ar
gentine has now more than TiOO flour
mills, many of which use machinery im
ported from the United States. The
grjtin-producing area of the Argentine in
creases every year.
In the United States the average yield
of wheat per acre, taking the whole coun
try, is from twelve to thirteen bushels.
That of (he Argentine is not over ten.
Iu England, where the soil is more care
fully studied and cared for, the average
is twenty-nine bushels per acre, in Hol
land twenty-fire bushels and in France
eighteen. The most of the wheat of the
Argentine .is raised by Italian Immi
grants, many of whom farm the land on
snares. They do their work in the rough
est and most sloveuly way. Much of the
wheat is sowed on the ground as it is
first plowed, the grain being dropped
among the clods. Other farmers drag
brush over the field and some of the bet
ter farmers use -the harrow. The plow
ing is done with bullocks, who drag the
plows through the furrows by means of
- vote attached t. f rwir h -i-k 7
. . V to ,ne,r horna. The only
mea or rne man seems to be to get the
wheat into the ground and then ait down
and wait for the rop. The farmers do
not seem to care for anything but their
wheat crop. Most of them have no ear-
dens. They run 'their accounts at the
nearest grocery and make annual settle
ments when they sell their wheat. Most

national apathy in regard to modern
methods of transit and manufacture.
But our American Immigrants arc not
so successful as they should be. consid
ering the advantages they possess.
Take the men who tried to capture our
bicycle industry as an example. We
were the real pioneer of the cycle
truile. Then you came along with an
equally good bicycle, made by the thou
sand by automatic machinery. You
could easily undersell our hand-made
article.
"But you suffered at first by sending
us a machine unsulted to on national
roads and our national prejudices.
When I beard your salesmen trying to
force good we did not want at the
cycle exhibits. I could not but be struck
by your similarity of mind to ours. We
lose all the time by telling customers
what they ought to have, while the Jer
uiiiti gives tiicm what they want.
"Well, after a time your bicycle men

SHOW A HEALTHY GROWTH.
Eastern Town Have No Reason to Be
Ashamed of t neir Froaresaw
Tbe rapid growth of the cities of New
England and middle Atlantic States la
perhaps the most striking revelation yet
made by tbe twelfth decennial
census. Of tbe 159 cities of the coun
try having a population of more than
25.00O. about eighty bad made a greater
numerical gain In tbe ten years just
closed than In tbe ten years preceding.
Since it goes without saying, also, that
about tbe same number grew faster
tban the average 32.3 per cent it is
interesting to ascertain from a study of
the bulletin where these cities are, con
sidered by sections. Sucb a 'study af
fords an admirable test of urban
growth and reveals In a striking man
ner the remarkable progress of the
i-torth western part of the country.
Of tbe eleven cities In the South At
lantic group of States only three grew
faster tban tbe average for the coun
try. These were Atlanta. Norfolk and
Jacksonville. In tbe south central re
gion only seven out of eighteen grew
faster than tbe average. In the west
ern group six out of the twelve grew
faster than the average. In the north
central group, comprising the States
north of the Ohio, the old free States,
with tbe addition of Missouri, twenty
two cities out of forty-eight made more
tban average progress. With the coun
try thus divided Into five great sections,
none of tbe four so far mentioned shows
a group of cities In which more than
half were growing faster than the av
erage. Tbe remaining section Is the
north Atlantic: in It forty-two out of
seventy cltlrs have grown faster than
32.5 per cent. In Connecticut all five
of Its cities of this grade made a show
ing above tbe average and this can be
said of no other State In tbe Union, ex
cept Ithode Island, In which all three
did the same thing. In New Jersey
seven out of ten cities were above the
average: In Pennsylvania there were
eleven out of eighteen; in Maine one out
of one, Portland, and In Massachusetts
elcveb out of twenty.
It should !e lsrne In mind that i!.e
actual growth of the cities in the north
central region was faster, due to the
presence of a few cities on the great
lakes, but the number of cities to show
this tendency was. as already Indicated,
less tban In the north Atlantic States.
The stagnant cities are found in three
regions. In Eastcrp Nebraska. Northern
Michigan and at the headquarters of
the Hudson. Omaha. Lincoln and
Sioux City belong to the first group;
Saginaw and Bay City to the second
and Troy and Albany to the third. As
a general rule the cities have grown
faster in the regions of coal beds or of
well utilized water power. Boston

PREYED ON BRITISH SHIPS.
Schooner Polly, Oldest Vessel Afloat,
Wan a Privateer in
The recent storm on the Atlantic
coust. In which so ninny staunch ves
sels were lost, culls attention to the fa
mous old schooner l'olly. which was
one of the more fortunate of the coast
lug fleet. The Polly Is older than most
men, for It was built In Amesliury,
Mass.. In 1I5. If the hull timbers of
the sturdy little slxty-llve-tou ship
could sienk, they might tell many an
exciting story of adventure on the salt

tea years It has almost trebled its popu
lation. It has now about 150,000 people.
It does a big wholesale and retail busi
ness, but the most of ha money comes
from wheat.
The wheat la bagged on the farm. The
cars carry it to the edge of the bluff, and
Italian laborers take tbe bags and pitch
them into cbutes leading to the vessels.
The bags By down one after the other at
the rate of several to the minute. At
harvest time the wheat becomes congest
ed at Rosario. The railroads hare more
than they can do to carry the crop, and
almost all other traffic has to be suspend
ed. The result Is that the wheat is piled
up in bags at the stations and left there
until it can be shipped. There are no
barns iu the Argentine. The weather is
such that the stock feeds out of doors
the year around. There is no chance ffor
the farmer to store his wheat in barns

At the present time the Polly Is

years It has been known as one of the
fastest sailing vessels on the north
coast, and It can still show a clean pair
of heels to many of its more modern
rivals. It has been a long time since
the Polly made a regulnr ocean voy

SHOPPING IN PARIS.
In the Opinion of Lilian Rett Karth
Holds No Greater Pleasure.
Lillian Bell gives the result of her
shopping experiences abroad In the
Indies' Home Companion In an Inter
esting paper entitled "Shopping lu the
Great Cities of Europe." Of Paris, the
most delightful of all cities for the
womnu who would buy, she says:
"I consider shopping In Paris one of
the greatest pleasures to be found In
this vale of tears. The shops, with the
exception of the Louvre, the lion
Marche and one or two of the large de
partment stores of similar scope, are all
small tiny. In fact and exploit but one
or two things. A tiny shop for fans
will be next to a milliner who makes
a specialty of nothing but gauze thea
ter bonnets. Perhaps next will come a
linen store, where the windows will
have nothing but the most fascinating
embroidery, handkerchiefs and neck
wear. Then come the man wbo sells
and he has to rely upon the railroads for.
getting it to tbe markets. The wheat in
carried to the cars from such farms as
are far from tbe railroad in bullock carts,
the wheels of which are about eiijht feet
high. A load weighing several tons is
balanced between a couple of these
wheels, and from dozen to sixteen bul
locks are harnessed in frout of it. In
some few of the large farms modern ma
chinery is used, and the threshing is com
monly done with Europen-n or American
threshers.
The Argentine Is subject to droughts,
and the crop rises and fulls according lo
the weather. The worst thing, however,
that the farmers have, to contend with
is the locusts. The pests that Infest
the Argentine are fully as bad as the lo
cust plague with which the Lord afflicted
Pharaoh. The only difference was ttant
Pharaoh had his locusts fur a few d:iyx.
but the Argentine seems to be having
theirs as a regular thing. The locusts
are produced by the millions every year,
and a swarm thinks nothing of a llight of
ftOO miles from its breeding ground
through tbe heart of the wheat country.
The locusts appear In great swarms,
which often darken the sun if they fly be
tween you and it. Tliey tight on every
thing green and begin eating. The
branches of the trees bend down wl.h
their weight, and you can hear the sn im
ping of their jaws as they crunch the
leaves. They will clean the crops from
the fields, eating the grain down to (he
ground. Sometimes they will take the
green wheat from one side of the road
and pass by that on the other, and they
sometimes fly on and on for days over
rich fields to feed on those beyond. The
next swarm may eat that which is left.
This pest of the locust has beeu so
great that the Argentiue government has
been spending large sums of money to
get rid of them. The methods for ex
terminating them are many and costly.
Thousands of dollars are spent every
year to kill them. They are caught in
traps of corrugated iron. They are scoop
ed up with scrapers and killed: poison
are nsed. and the grass, plants and weeds
are sprinkled with arsenic, kerosene and
creosote. They are caught in bag, driv
en into ditches and tire killed in all sorts
of ways. In IS, Hi it is estimated that
$S0,00(..000 worth of wheat was destroy
ed by locusts in two states of the Argen
tine. This impoverished the farmers of
those states, and the national government
spent $10,000,000 that year in giving
them seed wheat. If the locusts are to
come every year it will be a long time
before the Argentine can have a serious,
permanent effect upon tbe wheat market
of the world.

I had forgotteu after morning service.
I left tbe child In tbe nave, and when
I went back to him be had advanced
half way up the middle aisle, and was
standing where the sun threw a golden

It was very still. He was looking

curious and eager way. To my fancy
be seemed like a little angel when he
said In bis sweet, childish treble, which
echoed and re-echoed beneath the
vaulted roof:
"Papa, where Jesus? Where's Je

the bouse of tbe Savior, and on this, his
first visit, he expected to see his Lord.
That baby is quite grown up now.
Not In tbe faintest particular docs he

when I rode off to the wars, he aston

Fortunately for me. If unfortunately

Work and Worry
Wreck the Health of Many a Honae
wife The Story of One Woman's
Trial, and How She Over
came Theua.
Prom the Pott, Columbia City, Tnd.
The every day drudgery of tbe house
wife is extremely wearing upon her
sensitive and frail nature.
Many are prematurely broken down
Ui bealtb, their cherished hopes blasted,
their home-life unhappy, because of
the constant care and worry df house
work. That home is indeed fortunate in
which the wife is in perfect bealtb and
able to do her own work, in fact such
a home is a rarity.
Mrs. Ueorite I lea ton, who lives near
Columbia City, Ind., says:
"During th? early psrt of the winter
of 1896 we hail a great deal of sick
ness in the family, and it being impos
sible to find a suitable girl to do my
housework, 1 had to do considerable
extra. My daughter and two sons
were confined to their beds with the
grip.
"I had a great many clothe to
wash, nutl 1 did the washing in the
summer kitchen, adjoining our regular
one, without any fire. As a result I
was attacked with sciatic rheumatism.
At first 1 did not give mnch heed to it.
' 'It kept growing wor-e, however,
and in the course of two or three
months I was unable to do any work.
By this time my daughter had recov
ered sufficiently to get along very well
with the housework.
"One night my husband was gone
from home over night on bnsiness, and,
my daughter being overburdened with
work, I concluded to milk the cows,
which I did much against her wishes.
My limbs were so badly affected that
1 conld hardly get to the barnyard, and
my band and fingers were in each a
condition that it was with great diffi
culty that I used them.
"I was worse thsn ever after this,
and I was confined .to my bed for more
tban ten weeks.
It seemed that every muscle in my
body painetf me, and my condition was
a critical one. Tbe pbysican failed to
benefit me, and I became discouraged.
"I was prevailed upon to try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People,
vjvhicb I did with wonderfnl result.
They began helping me at once, and
when 1 had taken five boxea 1 was
cured.
"My appetite is again sood, lost flesh
has been restored. I spent the sum
mer in the best of health, and can now
do as much work as ever. 1 have
recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
f)r Pale People to a number of my
neighbors, who are also using them
with satisfactory results."
