Tn the current issue of the Chnutnu quan Hie "editorial outlook" eontain-s a suggestion regarding the intellectual advancement of the farming people which are well worth weighing by all rural readers. The writer says: "Our system of common schools is gradually opening many ways to in telligent understanding of the higher life where intellectual and esthetical interests go side by side with the coarser economies. The church, the lyccum. the literary club, and the various social and charitable establishments are do ing their fine work even in remote rural nooks. Every competent observer sees and feels a decided veering of rural currents toward intelligent considera tion of what we call culthrc. The move ment may be slow and faltering; but it indicates no uncertainty. Rut how shall the way be best smoothed and this happy change be most successfully hastened? The conservative spirit is stubborn in oursound-hearted and hard headed rural population. Fashions and habits and traits die hard where the community does not feel the direct urge and stress of conventional require ments. On the farm there is little to provoke inquiry touching the latest wave-caps of that great sea callAl hu man progress. A newspaper comes once a week, a magazine, possibly, once a month; but the stream of the world's great throbbing life is scarcely known to exist; it is but faintly adumbrated, tis the picture of a picture. Still, cul ture and the sweets of it are becoming facts within the feeling and the vision of the youngest generation of country people in America, and we may as well face the duty of rightly directing the inevitable reform in country life. Edu cation—and by the word we mean book education—is the chief factor in every great social and intellectual change for lac better. Good literature is not the w hole of life; but it is a* corner-stone of true enlightenment. The greatest need of our country people is to read, to learn, to strengthen and broaden their grasp of what are the host possi bilities of human existence. Not so much mere polite culture ns solid wis dom in life's lighter affairs is demand ed. Facility in reaching happiness of an enlightened sort, a quick compre hension of the difference between crudencss and refinement, and a cordial recognition of what a desirable thing a refined life is, are mightily aided b\ good rending. It is because count ry peo ple arc reading and studying as tbe\ never read and studied before that a great improvement in farm life is be ginning to make itself apparent." Last April the Evangelical alliance of the United States sent to the sultan of Turkey a formal petition, reciting some of the outrages perpetrated upon Armenian Christians in his dominions, and praying him to bring the persecu tions to an end. Recently a reply was received from Tcwfik Pasha, Turkish minister of foreign affairs, in which il was declared that Christians in Turkey have enjoyed complete security and the protection of their lives, property and honor from the foundation of the em pire, and are at the present time in a state of prosperity. This flat denial of the atrocities and massacres both in European and Asiatic Turkey, which have been protracted through a period of two years, illustrates the peculiar workings of the Turkish official mind. A recent cablegram announced that Mr. and Mrs. Castle, the well-to-do Americans who were arrosted in Lon don for stealing tilings from shop-, jiad I•;• n commit h-d for trial.

In Hroeklou, Mass.. the queen of a! ••Shoe Cities," stands the massive frain work, glitteing with tnyraid window? of the \Y. L.

Th shoemaker's bench of "ye olden time has disappeared, and in its place pondei ous machines stamp and clank an . growl and toss bunches of leather frui one to another like a pack of dogs worry I ing some hapless little animal, till t.li | shapeless leather th at the e utter pounce j upon in a long room at the lop of tie ,1 building comes riding into the packing ; room, a rack for its carriage, a polish" | and shapely shoe. Probably no place in the world offer such a splendid object l-'sson in sho making as does the Douglas factory where everything has been systemi/.ei doyvn to the minute detail, ami so care fully arranged that a walk through th streets of this busy little world of a far ton illustrates clearly the developmen of {lie shoe. First comes the cutting room. Her is little machinery, lint leather is even whore, from the scraps that litter th floor and till the bins, to tin; neatly pile, "vamps" and "tops" arranged on rack? each pile labelled with the name of th cutter. The most marvelous thing i j connection yvilli this part of the work i the ingenious system yvhereby every hi of leather is kept t rack of. Tin- forcina maps out t IK; work: that is. he dotei mines there shall he so many boxes o shoes cut that day and each box shal have so many pairs of a certain size The cutters, each one doing hut a singl thing, such as cutting a "vamp," g<-t his leather and goes to yvork, trimiiiln; the leather with a curved knife, accord ing to the metal pattern. Mis worl passes under the experienced eve of ai inspector, who at a single glance judge the quality of the leather and sorts i into different grades. It seems hopeless coil Mission; yet ever hit of leather inevitably finds its mateo the proper grade and size when the all appear in the sewing room belov pursued by a relentless check list, watch fill to detect the slightest deviation fron the right road, hi this room is a wilder ness of machines, many of which ar run by women. Up at one end of tin room the cut leather starts on a rapic journey. One ma rhino seizes it and bite it a few times and seems to toss it, awn; spitefully. Immediately it Is thrust Inb tin- claws of another machine the stitches it in another place until it come out at the other end of the room in lie shape of a shoe top. Then the lasters -eiz<* upon it. to ii the top of the inner sole. Some of tie shoes are '•lasted" by hand, others le peculiarly vicious looking machines, tha spits out tiny nails, and pounds the im fortunate shoes with all the energy of i chairman calling to order a caucus. Th Douglas people never hesitate to buy t ii most improved machinery, and all th latest methods may be seen in tha room. Down this room. too. the half-linisho shoes pass rapidly. On goes the oute sole, sometimes in sewing machines sometimes In a machine that screws th side on with little brass screws, that th iron monster has swallowed voraciously With a single stamp the heel goes on the rorgli edges being shaved off by whirling knife.

THE COAST DEFENSES THE ANNUAL REPORT OF SECRETARV OF WAR LAMONT. rhe War Depart meni's Elaborate Plan of i Fortifications anil Armament tailed State-* to lie Put In Position to Guiclity ICepel a Possible Invasion. WASHINGTON, Dee. 2.—The annual re port of the secretary of war. Daniel S. La- I inoilt, has just been made public. It shows that the expenditures of the war depart ment for the fiscal year ending June JO I last were $51,800,25)0.02; the appropria tions for tin.'year ending June JO, 1807, J were $54,04 1.20 and the estimates for the vour ending June JO, 1808, $52,880, JSJ 20. The aggregate of appropriations for this department unexpended and turned into the general fund of the treasury at the end of the last fiscal year was $1,075,038.07. For the year 1805 it was $1,704,407.08, and for 1804 it was #1,887,022.21. The number of enlisted men in the serv ice oil Get. 01 was 25.420, or 284 less than the number authorized by law. Deducting the sick, those absent on furlough, recruits not joined, the men employed in the staff departments and on detached service, the effective field strength of the army on that day was 22,082 of all arms. The number of officers of the lino is 1,010. Of these 1,000 are serving with their regiments and OMI are on detached duty. In no previous year of the history of t lie army lias the health of the troops boon so satisfactory as during the last fiscal year. Each soldier was sick 12. I days, as against a record of 15.0 for the preceding ten years. The number of so]dier.s.so disabled as to require their discharge from service was li. 15 per 1,000, as compared with 20.77 an nually for the preceding ten years. The mortality rate was 5.10 per 1,000 of mean strength, as eon quired with 7.85 for the preceding decade. Tlic National Guard. Referring to the national guard, the re port says: "Thereare now 05army officers regular ly assigned to state headquarters, and in addition to these 01 officers have been do tailed on temporary duty during the past year at state encampments. All concur in reporting a steady improvement in the training and efficiency of the militia. Camps of instruction wore hold in 01 states, and in several Instances regular troops were encamped with the militia, serving not only to furnish an object les son in mat ters of detail, but also to pro mote cordial relations between the regular and state forces. The total number of officers and men comprising the organized militia of the states and territories is shown to lie 1 1f,887. The artillery anil, comprising 4.7P0 officers and men, is maintained in 04 states, and the cavalry, comprising 4,00(1 officers and men, is maintained in 20 states. The general government last year allotted $400,000 toward the maintenance iiiul equipment of the national guard, and aggregate appropriations of $8,000,000 were made therefor by the states and ter ritories. The Count Defenses. The matters of fortifications and arma ment are treated in detail and at consider able length. The secretary asks for an ap propriation of $10,000,000 in addition to the $12,000,000 appropriated by Clio last congress for the construction of needed coast defenses, the equipment of now sta tions, the reorganization of the infantry branch and other improvement in the gen eral service. In the past year the department has made great progress in the purchase of ma terial for the manufacture of great guns and other parts of coast defense equipment and will ask congress that large additional appropriations lie made with which to con tinue work. Contracts have already been awarded for the purchase of 21 sets of 10 inch and one set of 10 inch steel gun forg ings, costing nearly $2,000,000, and a sec ond contract will shortly he made for as sembling 8, 10 and 12 Inch guns, costing nearly $400,000, besides 00 mortars, costing about SBOO,OOO. When the total number of emplacements upon which work is now progressing arc completed, 128 guns of large caliber will be required for installa tion and 150 mortars, costing the govern ment an even $8,000,000. Of the 481 guns to he (unplaced it is now proposed to mount hut 48 on nondlsappcaring carriages. The Intensity of the lire delivered from the main and secondary batteries of a battle ship is such, the authorities claim, as to make adequate cover for the gunners in shore batteries cm absolute necessity. The experiments, it will be shown by See ret ar. Lamont in his report, with disappearing gun carriages, have developed a fine type, about whose efficiency there is no longer a question. The full scope that the coast defenses of the country will take is set fort h elaborate ly in the report and embraces, Colonel La ment says, about 21 cities so far. with chances that seven more will bo added to the list requiring the attention of the na tional government. Of this number, em placements will he ordered and work pur sued In the next six months in the con struction of emplacements at Portland, Me.; Portsmouth, N. II.; Boston, Nurrn gansett Ray, eastern entrance to Long Is land sound, eastern and western entrances to New York harbor, Philadelphia, Wash ington, Baltimore, Hampton Roads, Wil mington, Charleston, Savannah, Key West, Pcnsacolu, Mobile, New Orleans, Halves ton. Sail Dldgo, Sau Francisco, the mouth of the Columbia river and Paget sound. An Enormous I'mjuot. This enormous project will require, the secretary's report shows, 481 high powered guns, excluding the great 10 inch gun for which the authorities have been endeavor ing for years to secure an appropriation. The emplacements are to he located by the engineers with a view of enabling the guns to throw a line of defense at a mini mum of to in miles from the place de fended ancl to give the guns in most in stances a clear sweep for at least 12 miles. The engineers will require further that the guns shall bo so placed that they can con centrate upon any one portion of an ene my's vessel a lire equal and if possible su perior to the heaviest that can he brought to liear from the most powerful hostile fleet which could attack the position. To hold the fleet under Jim of thegunsar.cl prevent them from running the batteries the proj ect, the report says, requires a complete system of submarine minus, so planted as to close all navigable rivers to an enemy, while offering no obstructions to friendly commerce. I hc-c liattcries will form olio of I he most formidable feat ures of the coast defenses of nil cities, and upon thciu in a great measure several of Ihe big cities will depend for their safety from invasion should the shore guns be unequal to hold llie licet outside. ']'• protect the principal cities and harbors on the navigable waters of the coast the report says that over 0,000 mines and 10,000 mortars will I>e used to prevent nil invading fleet fruin occupying an advantageous position. !
