A Gorman, whose education hud luen thorough and whose observation hud beon extensive, In contrasting Germany with the United Status, admitted that the location,. area and it-source of Ger many bear no comparison with those ol America, but Germany, he said, hus bands and Improves her resources while America destroys bers. That there was much truth In this charge was deeply Impressed on the writer during a recent rido on tho Philadelphia & Erie railroad. After loaving Lock Haven the road runs among tho moun tains for a hundred mllosor more. Only a generation ago theso mountains were covered with magnlllcont forosts of val uable timber. Now scarcely a tree is seen that is fit to cut for a saw log. The German forosts have furnished fuol and lumber for thousand years and aro now as valuable as ever. On emerging from tho mountains the oil fields are entered. Here tho same evidence of destruction Is apparent. Tho thoughtful obsorvor cannot help asking whoso hand planted tho forest and placed tho oil in the heart of the earth and for whoso bonofit was It done. If It was done by tho Author of Nature for the benoQt of humanity, then why were a lumbor king and an oil magnate allowed to reap tho harvest, and why are private interests still allowed to devour tho things that God has made ? It Is a hopeful sign that theso questions are roceiving consideration by many who until recently gave thera but little thought. Pennsylvania ha9 noarly ISOO.OOO farms. Of courso there are 300,000 farmers and nearly ovory farmer is a voter. Nor is this all. On many farms thore are two and somotimos three or more voters. A conservative estimate gives the agri cultural class at least 600,000 votes In tho stato. This roprosonta a powor possessed by no other class a power which if united and directed aright could not bo successfully resistod. And yet for want of union wo take what others give us and boar what they place upon us. The tax collector has again posted up his notices and again wo will call upon him and pay four times as much tax as our nolghbor who has tho same amount of monoy Invested in somo other form of property. We, how evor, deserve no sympathy. Rather should wo as a class hang our heads in shame for thus suffering wrong when wo have tho power to secure tho right. The time is coming when wo will assort ourselves.' The organized farmers have in tho pastjwon substantial victories through the grange and they will win even greater in the future. All that Is now needod is numbers. The Grange is fully equipped to do tho work. The unorganized farmers have no influence whore law makers meet. LAST OF THE SEASON.

How the Koran, According to Tradi tion, Wun Given to Man. In Arable the word "Kornn" meuns "that which ought to he rend. The Koruu Is divided Into 144 chapters call ed Btiras, a word meaning reully "row," "order," "series." In miiiiuserlpts these chapters are not numbered, but bear titles, sometimes derived from the subject mntter, but usually from the first Important work. Borne chap ters have two or more names because of differences lu the manuscripts fol lowed. Each chapter Is divided into smaller portions, called verses by non Moslems, but In Arabic known as "aynt," signs or wonders. The entire book ngnln Is dlvklod Into sixty equal portions, called "abzab," each subdi vided Into four equnl parts, or into thirty parts called "ajza," each consist ing of two "ahzab," and again divided Into four. All the chapters except tho ninth begin with tho blsmlllah, "In the nnme of the most merciful God." Twenty-nine begin with certain letters of the alphabet, which are believed to be the peculiar marks of the Koran and to conceal several profound mys teries, the understanding of which, tho more Intelligent confess, has not been communicated to any mortal, their prophet only excepted. According to Moslem tradition, the Archangel Gabriel paid 24,000 visits to earth while revealing to Mohammed the wishes of the Crootor. Some few chapters were delivered entire, but tho greater part was revealed piecemeal and written down at the prophet's dic tation by Zuld, his secretary. The first revelation, it Is generally agreed, con tained the first five verses of the ninety-sixth sura. After the passages bad been written down they were published to tho prophet's followers, several of whom took copies, while most learned them by honrt, and the originals were then placed In a chest in no particular order. Tor this reason it is uncertain when many of the passages were re vealed. Abu Bekr, Mohammed's first succes sor, collected Uie originals, which were on palm leaves and skins, and had copies made by Zald from the dictation of those who had committed the pas sages to memory. He further placed the suras in the order still followed, putting the longest at the hvad of the list without regard to historical se quence. Some time luter Osman had the Koran copied In the Quralsh dia lect and suppressed the versions mndo by Abu Bekr. Chicago News. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Eternal gratitude Is eternal slavery. No man knows enough to entitle him to conceit If you wish no man to suspect your secret, don't have one. When some people work they make so much fuss you are sorry they start ed. It Is a sign a sick man Is getting better when he beglus to worry about his doctor bill. They are about even if you are a boy, It Is the wood box; If you are a girl, It Is the dishes. Every thief admits at the end of his life that he would have prospered bet ter as an honest man. Of what use are friends? In pros perity a man has no use for them; in adversity they have no use for him. Atchison Globe. A Remarknble Waiter. In the Gentleman's Maguzlue, an old English publication, for 1750 appears the following: "On Wed. 21) (August) at seven In the morning was decided at Newmarket a remarkable wager for 1,000 guineas ($5,000) laid by Theobald Tauf, Esq., ugulnst the Eurl of March and Lord Egllnton, who were to pro vide a 4 wheel curriuge with a man in it to be drawn by 4 horses 19 miles an hour; It was performed In 53 minutes aixl 27 seconds." Enou of tho horses was ridden by a Jockey and only har nessed to the carriage by loose straps. Between the hind wheels sat another Jockey, who guided tho carriage by moving a handle like that of the mod ern bicycle. Truth Cornea Oat.
