A school of practical agriculture has been established in the province of Buenos Ayres, under direction of the Argentine government. Thia is the first Institution of the kind in that country, and great hopes are enter tained of its elevating influence on ag riculture In Argentina. Dbikd peat or turf, cut from bogs, is largely used for fuel throughout Eu rope. Some of it is molded much as bricks are, and it is also pressed Into compact balls. One hundred pounds of peat have a heating capacity equal to fifty pounds of hard coal, or to near ly one hundred weight of wood or soft coal. Tea culture in British India and Ceylon has proved quite successful from a cultural point of view, but its commercial success depends upon in creased markets for the product. America and Australia are regarded with interest by Indian and Ceylon planters as possible buyers of their surplus. An Agricultural Organization socie ty has been formed in Ireland, largely through the efforts of Hon. W. L. Plunlret, son of the archbishop of Dub lin. The avowed aims and purposes of the society are somewhat similar to the grange of the American farmers, and is full of promise for the agricul ture of Ireland. NEWSPAPER WAIFS.

On the west coast of North America and Europe the heaviest rainfalls are in winter; in the interior of the United States and Europe, in summer. The winter of 1812 and 1813 was one of the most severe ever known in Rus sia, a facj TThich partially explains the terrors of the retreat from Sioscow. In northern Europe Nordenskiold found fresh fallen snow impregnated with a dust of carbon and iron, such as could only have come from meteors. ly 1771 an unprecedented drouth pre vailed throughout India. Scarcely any rain fell for a year, and hundreds oi thousands died of famine, whole dis tricts being depopulated. In 1658 the winter in North Europe was so cold that Charles X. of Sweden crossed the Little Belt from Holstein to Denmark with his whole army, in cluding cavalry, artillery and baggage train. In 1887 and the following year a se vere drouth spread over North China. The loss of life was appalling, it being estimated by the Chinese government that 9,500,000 lives were lost from famine. POULTRY POINTS. Apples are excellent for geese in winter. Half-blood Brahmas make good sit ters and good mothers. Poultry cannot be kept healthy on wet ground or in damp houses. Tile goose should have good pasture. The cow does not need grass more than the goose does. The farmer or village poultry-keeper should have a good poultry house. It is half the battle. Beef blood is highly recommended as food for poultry. It is not fed of ten or than twice a week. In building a poultry house make it convenient in every respect. Have the grain bins, vegetable supply and water handy. Never pluck geese too close to win ter. In the south they can be plucked three times a year; in the north not more than twice. PROGRESSIVE WOMEN. They are (luick to Catch Onto Good Investments. OUR FEMALE FINANCEIP.S An (Interesting Talk With an Interesting Talker on a Subject of Much Interest to In - vestors. The tjnf stion «f w< men cariying imuirrnce on their liv»s whs being discussed the other day when M-. J. J. Mickle; one of the best informed life insurance men in the stafv gave some r»ther surpria'ng figures on tne subject. Mr. Mickle stated that nut of a al of twenty two applications for life insurance 'orwared by him dtis ring the mont h of August even or more than 33 per cent of the num her were made by ladies. All rem dents of Borne. He also stated that while insuranc ’ es of hII kinds w «s greatly on the in ertsse that the special feature of in suring the lives of women showed the gre tleat. <>t all. The progressive plans of insur ance now in vogue are revelations compared to the old "die to win” plans as the living, according to the modernized plans, participate in the benefits derived from the investment as well as the protec tion features. According to an article recently published in the New York Sun there are probably fifty women carrying life insurance today to every one who carried it ten or fif teen years ago, and some of them are insured for very large amounts. They have taken out insurance as an inve.’ment, just as men take it out. The w man who c.» « res the 1 irgest insu an ;e on her life in the United States is Mrs Hearst, the wife of Senator Heirs' >f California. She is int-ured for ab >ut $3C0.0C9. Some of her insur ance is what is called straight life insurance, but the greater part of it is placed on the endowmen plan—that is to s-iy, at the end of w nty years, if she pays her premiums regularly, she call draw her money. Mrs. Hearst is said to be the first woman in the state of Cali fornia who insured her life. There are today a very large number of women there who carry from sls, 000 to $20,000 insurance. Two wo man who cairy $50,000 are Mrs. limeline Wallace and Mrs. Juana k. Neal. New York women have been rather slow to take up the matter of life insurance from the invest ment point of view, though there are more than 1,000, according to the insurance men, who carry as much as $25,000 or $30,000, and there are more than 10,000 who carry from $5,000 to SIO,OOO. Os those who have larger amounts are the Misses Lorihiard, Following the example of their father, who has been for years a great pation of life insurance com panies, these young ladies have themselves insured for $100,00(5 each. The female members, of the family of Theodore A. Havemeyer, the sugar man, are also insured tor upward of SIOO,OOO. Mrs. J. Sloat Fassett. the wife of ex-Senator Fassett, has her life insured for more than SIOO,OOO, and her friend, Mrs. E. B, Crocker, of Kl mira, carries $150,000 insurance Mrs. Fassett and Mrs. Crocker both patronize the endowment plan of insurance, so that they will get their money back themselves in case they live the twenty years necessary. There are many other women who carry from s7t>,ooo to SIOO,OOO insurance on their lives; among them is the wife of 5\ . J. Arkell, the editor of Judge.” A great many agents talk life insurance in such a manner as to bore the listener to such an extent -bat he prays for the formation of i company that will insure insnr- I ers against insurance solicitors, i but we cheerfully bear testimony to 'he fact that Mr. Mickles talks on th« subject of life insurance are bright, sparkingeutertaiLULig and instructive. One of the Montgom ery papers, Mr. Mickle was raised in Montgomery A n , in speaking if his prepHiic nt ms u’,o home, eani that lie Wa» i "a r-dorined newspaper 111.1 i <! velopeil into ,1 first class inau-rairi--»■ ageu . v hose genial uiaUD-r »>.<L bright Irish wit made Idm a wn'come visitor upon all occasions.” Mr. Mickle says that ho sells “life” insuri noe oof 'death' insurance,or in other words: “If you live you get the vou t-hould be so thoughtleaf’ as to die tn >R«you love nex* best to yourself will get jt ” Everybody who is somebody preaches the doctrin: “Patron ize fcbme industry.” Lex ers of a good cigar can afford to practice what they preach for Wart er*s Rome made cigars are the best on the mar ket.

But when equal weights cf the two materials are compared, it is then found that several varieties of wood are stronger than ordinary steel. A bar of pine just aa heavy as a liar of steel an inch square will hold up 125,000 pounds ; the best ash 175,000 pounds, and. some hemlock 200,000, pounds. Wood is bulky. It occupies ten or twelve times the space of steel. Th3 beat steel castings made for the United States Navy have a tenacity of 65, 000 to 75,000 pounds to the square inch. By solidifying such castings under great pressure, a tsnsile streilght of 80,000 to 150,000 pounds may be, obtained. -J ■ ’ " ' 7" Warter’s Hand made is the finest smoke on the market—-and then it is Rome made;Fruits of home industry.; Ask your dealer for ons. ■■■■■i W »i ;■ iwa WIBDoM, The Queen of Madagascar, who is using her autnority in seperessing liquo selling in her kingdom, waa appioached by the taloon keepers, whose busiufsa had suffered, with a petition for compensation.
