The following in regard to the
war in South Africa is one of
Kipling's latef ": t t
I
It was our fault and our very 1
great fault, and not the judg- r
ment of heaven,
We have an army in our image on
an island nine by seven, a
Which faithfully mirrorred its
maker's ideals, equipment
and mental attitude,
And so we got our lesson and we
ought to accept it with grati
tude.
We have spent some hundred (
million pounds to prove the I
fact once more
That horses are quicker than men t
afoot, since two and two I
make four.
And homes have four legs and i
men have two legs, and two (
into four goes twice,
And nothing over except our les- I
son and very cheap at the I
price.
It was our fault and our very
great fault, and now we must <
turn it to use,
We have forty million reasons for i
failure, but not a single ex
cuse.
So the more we work and the less
we talk the better results we
shall get.
We have had an imperial season;
it will make us an empire yet.
Wind tiUs and Progress.
It is interesting in this age of
new ideas, when steam and elec
tricity are so much in evidence,
to notice how some of the older
methods, of obtaining power are
still profitably employed. Take
for example the use of the wind
mill. Nobody knows when this
useful device was invented. It is
rumored that the old Romans
knew of its use, and there is an
other story that the Saracens in
troduced it into Europe. But
while the early history of the
windmill is shrouded in uncer
tainty, we do know that it came
to play so important a part in the
little Kingdom of Holland as to
be considered a national necessity
in keeping that courageous nation
out of the hands of the sea.
In Holland wind-mills are used
to get rid of the water; in Ameri
ca they are employed to produce
it. Out on the Great Plains in
Konsas, Dakota, Iowa and the
adjoining States, an ideal place
for-wind-mills, wherer thtoas
ia-d miirciia sweep un
interrupted for miles, the land- T
scape is fairly dotted with them.
They are all sizes and kinds,some
tall and graceful, others placed
low and resembling huge paddle
wheels with the lower half housed, a
and the upper half catching the o
wind. A number of the larger s:
ones grind corn or do other simi- c
lar work, but the majority are en- 7
gaged in pumping up water, for t1
the needs of the stock and the 7
irrigation of the land, from the 1;
exhaustless supply below the
ground. Of course each pump ci
can bring up but a small amo~unt t<
of water at a stroke, but it is ii
astonishing to see how much this a
little aggregates in the course of C
a year. An estimate has recently d
been made of the capacity of a 1
wind-mill running ten hours a 1
day for six months from an inter- r
esting report on wind-mills and 4
their use, issued this year by the I
UJnited States Geological Survey,
which is studying the Great Plains bi
to make available these rich un- p
derground water resources. It t:
was found that an average wheel, ti
twelve feet in diameter, with the r
wind blowing sixteen miles an n
hour, is capable of pumping 1,920
gallons an hour,- 19,200 in a day i1
of ten hours, 576,000 each month, 1
'4 -and 3,456,000 gallons in six ri
months. This is the work of only a
one wind-mill. Add to it the is
k work of hundreds and thousands g
of others, hind realize the v;'t 9
amount of water brought iuto 'I
use by this means.b
It is difficult to appreciate the a
significance of this work and the
a value of the wind-mill as a factor tl
~ ~-in the development of the coun- a
try. It means in the first place
~ an abundance of water for stock S
and irrigating purposes, and I
water always mecans a great in-i
crease in the productiveness of A
the land. This is followed by an si
increase in values and the possi- 'I
bilities of larger population; big
ger crops and better prices, and
more business and increased earn
juigs for the transportation lir~es. 39
This is what the wind-mills are d
helping to do in America.-Press 2A

Washington, Aug. 5.-The
Lonthly report of the statistician
the department of agriculture
bows the average condition of
tton on July 25 to have been
7.2 as compared with 81.1 .on
ie 25th of the preceding month;
E on Aug. 1, 1900; 84 on Aug. 1,
399, and a 10 year average of 84.
There was an improvement of
>ndition during July amounting
> 6 points in Georgia, 5 points
i South Carolina, 2 in Alabama
ad Mississippi and 8 in Virginia.
In the other hand there wasy
ecline of 19 points in Missourn,
5 in Arkansas and Tennessee,
3 in Oklahoma and Indian Ter
Etory, 12 in Texas, 57 in Florida,
in North -Carolina and 2 in
oisana.
The impairment in condition is
rgely due to drought, but in a
ortion of the eastern section of
ie cotton belt it is attributable
ythe prevalence of excessive
sin during a large part of the
tonth.
While the condition in Mississ
pi is 5 points above the State's

ap~orts a condition below such
verage, Virginia being 1, Louis

The Sea Island cotton crop of'
1899-1900 is calculated by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
as one of the largest ever grown,
amounting to 98,338 bales. Large
quantities are now used for mer
erized yarns. This cotton is
also very much in demand for
making high class goods.
One singular eflect of the hot
spell was that it broke several of
the big steel suspension rods on
the Brooklyn bridge, which were
overstrained by the expansion in
some way. For a short time the
natives were afraid to cross the
bridge, as the fear had spread
that it might go down. But the
Brooklynites finally got so hungry
that they took the risk of cross
ing in reduced numbers and the

A Big Cotton Trust.
George F. Washburn, of Bos
on, president of' the Common
realth club of Massachusetts has
ailed for Europe on a mission to
nquire into the co-operative
nethods of various bodies in
?ngland, Belgium and Switzer
and, with a view to the forma
ion of a fifty million dollar cot
on combination in this country.
Lecording to an interview with
9r. Washburn he has worked out
L plan to unite the cotton pro
lucers of the South into one
rreat co-operative trust, with
ieadquarters at St. Louis and
-entral ware houses in Memphis.
Be said he had been selected for
-his mission because of the
special study he had made of co
)peration from a business man's
tandpoint, and that in his judg
nent the only way to meet the
3apitalistic cotton and wheat
,rusts was to organize better and
Digger ones in the interest of the
producer. Mr. Washburn said
hat the application of the idea to
bhe cotton industry was made be
:ause the planters, being men of
means, can unite in a co-opera
tive business movement and effect
a tremendous saving to them
selves. Mr. Washburn, who in
two national campaigns was a
national executive committeeman
of the People's party, was asked
if his plan had any political sig
nificance, and he said only in so
far as it was successful, and in
that case it would have a far
reaching effect along political
lines in the West and South.

Oollege Men in Business.
As a rule, great corporations
seek college men because, other
things equal, they will ultimately
make better heads, batter leaders;
and this, notwithstanding the fact
of the general impression that
o such institutions
ow very well that, if a man is
made of the right kind of ma
terial, a college education, al
though it may temporarily pre
vent the development of the prac
tical faculties, enables a man to
analyze well and to grasp condi
tions very quickly. The greatest
drawback to the young graduate
is that he is too full of theories,
too near his diploma to be of very
good value; but, after the dream
of his future greatness has faded
a little, and he settles down to
business, he will adapt himself
very speedily; and, when he once
masters the details of a business,
he will make rapid strides to
wards the top. He has learned
in college how to think, how to
marshal his mental forces; and,
when he has learned the different
phases of his business and how
to apply his knowledge, he will
be a stronger man than he would
have been without the higher
education.-Success.
