The new trade opportunities should be of great Interest to Pittsburgh. Peruvian newspapers bave just ar rived giving an account of the in auguration of Guillermo Eduardo Bit llnghurst as president of the Peru vian republic, and it Is something of a story in view of the near Inaugura tion of another president of the United StateB. While President Bil Itnghurst Is a native Peruvian, hav ing been born at Arlo In 1851, he Is a scion of one of the oldest real Eng lish families, tracing his lineage to Adam de Blllinghurst, who was given a manor of that name by William the Conaueror.

John a Mosby brings Into prominence again one ot the few remaining prominent officers of the army of the Confederacy. Colonel Mosby stood In the front rank of Confederate raiders In the Civil War, being particularly haras sing in the 1864 campaign of General Sheridan In the Shenandoah valley which ended with his brilliant vic tory at Cedar Creek. There was a' long line of communication to be' guarded from Baltimore to Harper's, Ferry and then down the valley, and from Washington by way of Manas sas and Front Royal. Colonel Mosby; devoted himself to breaking these' lines and raiding his enemy's forces' wherever possible. No one else laj the army was so anathematised as' was he.

In selecting seed corn save four or five times aB much as you can pos sibly use, for it will be best to select very rigidly at seeding time and such corn as is not needed can be readily sold at good prices. Seed Corn. Next spring there is going to be a big demand for good seed corn. Now Is the time to prepare for this de mand. It is well tp select the seed from the field. If the ear was ma tured before the frost the vitality is not seriously impaired. This corn should be selected now and stored In a place where it can dry out within a short time. Increase Value of Silage. One writer says that alfalfa or olover mixed with the corn when the silo Is being filled will add greatly to the value of silage. This 1b undoubt edly true, but It is still a question as to whether the same feeding value could not be attained more econom ically by using the alfalfa and clover for the dry feed. Care In Selecting 8eed. Fix the fact in your minds tbat If we are to grow maximum crops of clover, alfalfa and corn we must be more careful in the selection ot seed, the preparation of the soil and the saving of our farm and stable manures.

This means that more than half of the officers now serving as military attaches at Amer ican legations and embassies abroad, as Instructors In the military academy at West Point as Instructors In the Army Service schools, as Instructors of state militia organizations and as instructors In various military acade mies In foreign military schools will be ordered back to their regiments.

This increases the space available for bulk cargo. In addition, however. It is said that the corrugated bull caves fuel and lessens the effect of waves on the steadiness of the ship. English reports indicate that a cor rugated hull will save 16 per cent In fuel over the cost of driving a smooth hull of equal displacement Two mod els, of equal weight and dimensions, each about twenty feet lone, will ha constructed here, one with a corru gated and the other wltb a plain hull. Each will be attached to the traveling crane which spans the experimental tank at the Washington navy yard, and the resistance of the models to the Water whan milled at a rtvan rata of speed will be accurately registered on tne delicate gauges attached to the crane.

Consequently every officer who has not served at least two of the last six years in command of troops will have to return to his regiment before De cember 15. It has also been found by the law officers of the war department that about a third more of the officers on detached service will bave to be removed within six months. A large number of officers on detached duty in Washington are caneht nrattw ... verely by this order.
