THE NATIONAL MAGAZINE

Tu its May number presentsa remark- sll: arrav of interesting articles. Dr. Edaard Everett Hale’s “Some Recollec- vioms of the Century,” which is now in the second chapter of its serial torm, very naturally takes precedence, in view of the pterest Which attaches iteelf to anything of a reminiscent nature, coming from 60 gifted a pen. “Withthe Fur Seal Huo- ters,” by W.G. Emery, illustrated from phoographs taken in the northern latitudes, furnishes @ very attractive account of this indu-try in the Alaska regions. A notably timely sketch is one entitled “Armevia and ics People,” written by a Refugee, which presents with striking photographs recently taken ia Armenia, au excellent description of the condition of this much talked of country. The article of perhaps the most unique interest in this issue is “Some Per-onal Aspects of the Queens of Europe,” by Geo. E. Kenton. The latest photograph of each sovereign is reproduced, and a go-sipy sketch of the royal lives in’ their more personal and domestic espect is deat with. The seventh chapter of the serial now +o popularly and ec widely read. “Christ and His Time,” by Dallas Lore Sharp, with i}lustra;ion from the paintings of the old masters, appears also in the May table of contents. The list of illustrated articles is completed by a sketch of tbe “Virginia Historical Society”*of Richmond by Sully Nelson Robins, which speaks of some of the valuable colonial antiquities in the possession of this society.

The fiction of the May National consists ef some of the most reliable ehort stories. A bumurous bicycle story entitled“‘A Knight of the Wheel,” by Winslow Bates, is in keeping with the season. The other stories are “The Tarnished Flower,” a story of Roumania by Leonard F. Burbank “The Extravagance of Dan,” by S. Frank Baam; “What the Kingfisher Saw,” by James Buckham; “Concepcion,” a Mexi- can story by Irene C. Wright; and “Following the Muse,” by Harvey. Wick- ham. The aumber is completed by by the regular Fashion and Literary depart- ment.

SUGAR BEETS FOR P. E. ISLAND.

Sin,—As this Island is weil adapted for growing sugar beet, the farmers should commence the cultivation of the beet on a large ecale. Then a central factory could be built, and the supply of beets gathered from the whole Province. The following instructions may prove of service :

Plant a space 66 feet square—one-tenth of an acre.

Keepall stock off the lands efter the rains begin.

Plow deep, break up thoroughly, pulver- ize the soil before planting.

Sow when the soil is warm iu May.

Ove pound of seed will seed one-tenth of an acre.

Sow in Rows 18 to 21 inches apart.

Sow with a drill, forced feea; sow shal- low, jist deep enough to be covered. Seed should come up in 7 to 21 days.

Thin tbe beets so soon as they develop four leaves. Thin out from 6 to 10 iaches according to richness of soil. Leave only one beet in one place, and that the most vigorous one. Keep weeds out entirely.

Do not allow a crust to form on the top of the land after seeding or while beete are growing. Continue to keep the soil loose by drawing a cultivator between the rows until the tops cover the ground. Beets should ripen in from 120 to 160 days from

time of seeding. Whenthe outer leaves turn vellow and die down, it’s an indica- tion that the beets are ripening or ripe. Every farmer in the Ieland should culti- vate a tenth of an acre.

Beets are worth $4 per ton for making sugar. They are worth the expense of cultivation for feeding. When the farmers will learn to grow the raw material, and do it successfully, a factory will erring up and Prince Edward Island will be able to supply all the sugar required at home and ship the rest toall parts of Canadu and Newfoundland. The Government should aid the beet sugar industry in this Pro- vince. Will the Minister of Agriculture supply the necessary aid to start the industry ? The Government should sup- ply the seed, and ask for detaiJed reports of growth.

Yours, PROGRESS.

HOW NOT TO CARRY THEM, Ways In Which Canes and Umbrellas Be- come Sources of Danger,

‘“‘Any man who feels himself impelled to carry a cane or an umbrella notin actu- ad use in any manner except in an approx- imately vertical position by his side,’’ said Mr. Glimby, ‘‘should at once hire a hall and go there and lock himself in alone,

where he will not endanger the lives of his |

fellow mortals and where the damage done by him will be confined to the breaking of such windows as he may stick the end of his umbrella through in his sudden turnings as he pursues his walk.

‘‘And yet, reprehensible as is the prac- tice ef carrying a cane or umbrella through the streets in any other than a vertical po- sition, there are in this as in other crimes degrees of reprehensibility. The least dan- gerous of the wrong ways of carrying a cane is over the shoulder, with the point up, atan angle of 45 degrees. The man carrying a cane in that nianner turning suddenly in a crowd is not likely to do much damage beyond knocking off a few hate.

‘‘A more objectional way of carrying 2 cane is horizontally under the arm, with the ends sticking out front and back. It is possible fer a man carrying a cane in this manner to jab two people at once, rousc a considerable amount of ill feeling and perhaps hurt somebody.

“The man who carries through the streets a cane or an umbrella run through the straps of a valise with the ends stick- ing out is a dangerous being, for people cannot see this umbrella till they are very near to it. They might not know of its presence at all unless they should run over itor the carrier should turn when they were close upon him.

‘*But the most.dangerous of all the care- Jess or thoughtiess cane or umbrella car- riers is the man who carries a cane or an umbrella horizontally under his arm while going up a stairway, as, for exam- ple, up the stairs leading,to an elevated station. The point of an umbrella so car- ried is about on a level with the eyes of anybody following close, and it is a source of great danger. There is but one thing for the follower te do if happily he shall discover the umbrella in time, and that is to give the man carrying it lots of room.” —New York Sun.

A Bloodhound’s Keen Scent.

A remarkable exhibition of the keen- ness of scent of the bloodhound was given at the town of Bronson, in Allen county, Kan. The town appropriated $100 out of the city treasury for the purchase of one ef these animals, the purpose being the detection and capture ef thieves who were operating in the neighborhood, and a test of the hound was considered desirable. At noon three men sterted out on foot and walked four miles intothe country. Then they mounted horses, and by a circuitous route returned to the town. Six hours Jater the hound was permitted to smell a gtove which had been warn by one of the men, and the next instant, with a deep howl, he caught up the trail and followed iton the run. Atone point the men had walked for 20 yards on a fence, and when the hound came to this point he carried his nose along the rail with hardly any re- tuction of speed. Coming to the place where the men had mounted, he took up the trail of the horses and followed it into town, where, in a crowd of more than 100 men, he picked out the ome whose glove had been given him to smell.—Kansas City Journal.

SIGAR RIBBONS. Ninety-four Styles Made and Their Man- ufacture an Important Industry.

Qne New York firm alone turns out yearly an average of more than $200,000 worth of cigar ribbons and on these en- ploys nearly 500 hands. Until 1568, it is suid, no cigar ribbons were manufactured here. The use of silk ribbons to tie up ci- gars originated in Cuba. The Spaniard’s patriotism impelied him to choose the na- tional colors of red and yellow, and these two colors, separate or in combination, are still the favorites. The first ribbons were made in Barcelona and were the rich crim- g0n scarlet known as the Figaro, the vivid yellow of the Cabanas and Partigas and the red and yellow of the Espanola.

The first domestic ribbons made were of cotton, of a pale yellow with a brown stripe running down the center, and this was speedily followed by a ribbon made wholly of silk. ia 1868 a cigar manufac- turer in this country conceived the idea of having his name printed on the silk rib- bon, which had hitherto been plain, and giso the shaje of the cigar. This was at first done in black, then in colors and eventually in silver and gold, with em- bossed work and coats of arms, Then the name was woven into the ribbon instead of being printed. Many of these ribbons are still in use on expensive goods. Woven ribbon is very valuable as a trademark, since it is impossible to duplicate it'ia small quantities.

In 1868 the first ribbon factory was es- tablished in this country by a man named Wicke, who established a small factory near the East river. It was operated by two Swiss. ‘Che demand for the ribbon in- creased, and in 1870 the profits were so good that a four loom factory was started and operated by Swiss weavers especially imported. Only two widths of what is termed ‘‘Londres’’ ribbons were then wnede. In 1887 there were more ribbons used in proportion to the total number of cigars manufactured in this country than in any other year, and since then the bun- dling of cigars has steadily decreased in favor of the system of packing 25 or 50 in a box without ribbons, but so great has been the increase in the number of cigars made, now over 4,000,000,000 yearly, that the ribbon business has not decreased, but has stezdily held its own.

The raw silk for the ribbon is imported direct from Japan and China. There are 94 styles of cigar ribbons made, varying in width from one-eighth of an inch to 1% inches. United States ribbons are sold in Canada in preference to the English make, although the duty on our goods is heavier. Some of the machinery is very interesting, especially that used for weaving in the name of the firm in black.

Some years ago the general public wat bitten by a cigar ribbon fad, and many ribbons were sold by cigar dealers to make lamhrequins, sofa cushions, etc. A wom- an in New Haven made a table mat of 45€ separate ribbons, and it fetched $160, while a cushion made by a cigar manufac- turing firm as a compliment to an actrest

cost $250 simply for the needlework and time expended on it.—New York Sun.

floored Voorhees,

Senator Voorhees once had succeeded in delivering an appeal which bad brought tears to the eyes.of several jurymen. Then arose the prosecuting attorney, a gruff old man, with a piping voice and nasal twang. ‘“‘Gentlemen,'’ said he deliberately, ‘‘you might as well understand from the begin- ning that I am not boring for water.”’ This preved so effectual a wet blanket to the emotions excited by Mr. Voorhees that he realized the futility of his own ‘‘bor- ing.’’—San Francisco Argonaut.

Kvents and History.

*+ would be absurd to deny that individ- uals are often subject to the decrees of chance and accident. While in the main the charactcr of aman is determined by his inherited qualities, by his bent of mind, it is positive that his training, hie surroundings, his occupation, have much influence over Bis career. The mere acci- dent ef turning up one street instead of another, or something no less trivial and accidental, has often decided the future of a person for good or for ill. When, how- ever, we come to the great body of man- kind, it is different. We are too much in the habit of regarding history as the prod- uct of great generals and of ignoring the conditions under which they have made war. The more intimate we become with the social history of other ages the more we are able to see that the issue of wars has been foreordained by the conditions of peoples, and the more we are able to see that in the main the course of events could hardly have been other than it was. The study of the laws of causation shows that the conditions that exist long after what have becn called decisive battles have been fought might have been predicted with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Though Na- poleon had not failed at Waterloo, if such u thing were possible, still virtually the social and economic and even political con- | ditions that we find would have succeeded. It is these, at last, that determine wars and victories.

Manhood in the mass is not exempt from the processes cf evolution that are i5 work throughout the universe. Whether the movement at any time be evolution or dissolution, it cannot be more than mo- mentarily checked. Burke observes that when a great change is to be made in hu- man affairs the minds of men fit them- selves to it. The facet is that it is because men's minds are fitted to it that the change comes, the minds being shaped by a long series of cases. Because we are not al. ways able to read the laws of causation is no proof that they do not operate. The great generals who makc history are them- selves but the creatures of ignorant causes and obey laws of which they are ignorant. —New York Commercial.
