"You are Invited to a musicale on the r Mp Orinoco, in Erie Basin, Friday even August 2S." number of persons responded to this !-vitation cheerfully, for they knew the enpta'n very well, relates the New York Vlmts. He had been In the South Amer ic an trade to this port for a number of vears, married a Brooklyn gin, ana nade money for the owners of his ship in spite of the number of steamers that I ere down upon him. The mate received the gtKsfs at the gangway, and the cheer captain and his wite did duty below. The cantain displayed with pride a new piano presented by the owners, a beauti lul pipes of polished mahogany, with works of the best construction; a piano t'nr.t he said would not move from its bearings if the ship turned turtle. The captain further explained that he put aboard a cheaper piano at the request ( t his wife when they were married. Sailors love music, and the good effects ; f it were so apparent on the crew that the owmrs had decided to put them on nil tbf-ir sailing vessels, beginning with his. It i3 nothing surprising these days to hear a piaro on a good sailing snip, he said. "Why, only the other day I heard the strains of a piano coming from nn old canal boat over there."

The Nebra;i'va towns are filling up with farmers who have retired from arkuluiral pursuits to take iile at ease ana ti.ucT.te tus.r eiuiurtn, says a re cent Lintviii ft port..

They have enough and are satietied. It is possible for a farmer to retire on a much smaller amount than most men who h: ,c investments in other classes of property. A merchant may g' t out of active life but leave his money in his store without ieelir.g that it is safe. Banks, too, may fail, and the prk.3 of stocks is liable to fluctuate. It is different with the farm. Nebraska land has a very stable value, and even in panicky days could be sold for fair prices. To-day it is high, but a good living is assured; and if the harvtct'ia big and prices are good there is a large addition to the surplus and money for any little indulgences. Those farmers who prefer to stick to the farm for a little while longer are demonftrating their possession of a bank balance by improving the appear ance of their farms. Lincoln con tractors have sent 30 or 40 carpenters out into the rural districts to build new barns and houEes in the last six weeks. Out in southwestern Nebraska, in the new wheat section, there is a land bocm on, an overlap from Kansas', where sneculators are forcing up prices. The short grass country wallowed in big crops this year, and there is scarcely any government land- left in that section ol either Kansas or Nebraska. Real estate agf-nts have been running harvest excur- rdons into the country and syndicate buying is now a feature of the business, whole parties of emigrants from eastern t.Ates bclne landed and settkd in the s&rna neighborhood on newly purchased land. NATIONS IN THE MAKING. War Jntr Tery L-lr Into the Formation of a Nr , Country. According to the astronomers, there was fierce conilict of forces in chaos be fore the worlds were thrown off from the nebular mass; and then there were many a mad liight through space and freauc-nt collisions before the force of gravity set the planets moving in their respective orbits. On a small scale, natural forces are still at work bringing about a stable political equilibrium on this planet. Chance and war, chietly war, have thrown together groups of people with unlike inttrests, states the Youth's Companion. Wherever the interests con flict, their effort to get along together succeeds but indifferently, or fails alto gether. The most recent example cf failure i3 the broak-up of the republic of Co lombia, which occurred when the peor-ie in the department of Panama d;.eirkd that thy would submit no longer to neg lect by the central government, a neglect of which the rejection of the canal treaty was only the culminating inci dent. The struggle is still going on in Austria-Hungary, where two nations, dif fering in race, are trying to'live under one government. The emperor-king Is able to keep his empire together only by making frequent ror cessions to the Maaynr.s. His consent, in November, to the larger use ef the Hungarian lan guage in the army was forced from him at the price of breaking the deadlrck which had left Hungary without a min istry for several months. Germany has a similar problem, al though the issue there is the proper re lation tf the various stales to the cen tral government. Bavaria has resent ed the interference of the emperor in its local affairs with so much vigor that the imperial chancellor has thought it wise tc announce that the kaiser does not desire greater central ization of au thority. The British empire is a vast nebular mass, which is to be held together until it solidifies in'o a homogeneous unit. Mr. Chamberlain fears that It is in dan ger of flying to pieces unless the force of gravity, operating through self-interest, ran be made to bind the colonies to the mother country.

He is completely over shadowed by his overt owering envi ronment. As one walks along the streets of our gnat cities and views the massive build1 r.rs and sky-seeking structures, he hods no status for the negro above the cellar floor. The city negro of education anil culture is forced into rm-ninl employment be cause higher form of occupation are preempted by the more favored class. There ar? a dzen competitors for every dollar in i?ht, and in the great majority cf cases, the negro is handicapped by his color, says the Southern Workman. The country negro, on the con trary, is on terms of equality with his environment, ne is not con fronted by suggestions of inequality at every turn. Nature is a mother who is equally kind and beneficent to all of her children. An acre of ground will yield as much for the black as for the white tiller. Tho markets are oolorhlind. No one in quires into the color of the producer of the best produce in the market, except as n matter of idle curiosity. No labor organization ha? yet placed a boycott upon negro farm labor. The farm offers for the negro the only really unhampered field which is open to him on an unlimited scale. Solid Virtue. Youth has its own criteria by which to judge things which its elders assess by other standards. Henry had just come into hi3 mother's kitchen, where she was roiling pie-crust. "Making pies, mother?" "Yes, dear." "Say. mother, your pies taste all right, ' but why don't you make some like Mrs. ; Thompson gives me and Billy? You i can take a piece in your hand and walk all round the yard eating it and it won't : break." Youth's Companion.
