WHY A HE tlil I EH L<> 1 V.
If has been claimt-i! that there is
now produced mute fo ul and clothing
than the people i f the earth can con
slime, mid that this alleged fact ac
counts for low prices .ilil general
depression in indusitial eiieles. Sii
Rnheit 0 1 thin, u tutu', English sta
tisiieian, has been prying into this
matter mid declares Unit during flit*
last twenty years p-i uiation has in
cleaned tinito iapidly than food pro
due, urn by seven per cent. There
foie, even tiling being tqlial prices
(or more .term ately, demand) should
exceed the same twenty vents ago by
seven per c-eut, without taking into
consideration tiie higher standard of
living lesulting from greatly increas
(id wealth aid higher civilization. It
doe* not require a noted statistician
ora liighgiado philosopher to solve
tin- appaicnt mystery ot present low
pi ices, and limited demand far pro
ducts. Although the nations are glow
mg wraitliie: year by year, the mas
ses of producers are growing poorer,
and there are the consumers. The
wealth of (lie world is concentrated
in a few hands, the people generally
not participating. Civilization and
prnspeiity have developed individual
fortunes far beyond anything known
ta history. I'mdigies of acquisitive
ness have been hied up by natural
and aititicial selection until the
philosophers stone is discounted ;
whatever these men touch turns t'>
gold; hut the individuals who from
the great population ot tin? nations,
are merely the lambs who are requir
ed to furnish the golden fleece for
the onehalf of one per cent who pos
sess a!! the increase of wealth which
human effort has produced. There
would he no over production if (he
wealth of the world was as equitably
distributed as was the case fnirtv, or
even twenty yeais ago.—Texas Farm
and Ranch.
The Chicago News has this as the
latest table etiquette.
Biscuits should be opened with the
fingers. In extreme cases an ax is
admissible.
Never pick your teetli at tbe table.
You will fiutl a better assortment at
the dentist's.
Don't rattle your knife and fork.
The napkin iing_wiB be found much
more musical.
Always eat soup from the side of
your spoon. The inside is considered
the proper one.
Game should never be taken in
the fingers—unless, of course, it is a
card game.
Do not rest your arms on tbe table.
Stack all your weapons in a corner
before dimer.
Never leave the table until the
others are through. If in a hurry
take it with you.
Never eat pie with a knife. It's
all right to eat cheese with pie, but
knives should be eaten alone.
Cigarette smoking is permissible
at the table—it you are dining alone
and have a grudge against yourself.
Don't ask your hostess if she lets
the sugar bowl with the butter balls.
She might mistake you for a humorist
or a lunatic.
It having been announced that
Keely, of Philadelphia, of motor fame,
who has been for some twenty years
vainly trying to harness his myste
rious foice was now busy on a new
fangled flying machine, the Record of
that city gets off the following clever
paraphrase:
"What does Motor Keely say
In his nest at peep of day ?
'Let me fly,' says Motor Keely ;
'Bother ! let me fly away.'
"Keeley rest a little longer
Till your little wings are stronger
When you lest a little longer
You won't fly away."
Representative Gaines, of Tenn.,
has a letter written to him by Hon.
W. J. Bryan in teply to an inquiry as
to tbe truthfulness of a newspaper
statement that Mr. Bryan had decided
to retire from politics. The letter
says: "The newspaper item is not
true. I expect to remain in politics
all my life. Whether I shall ever run
for office nsrnin depends on circum
stances.'' Mr. Gaines Jia^t. t the
slightest doubt that Mr. Bryan will
head the democratic ticket in 1900
and be elected Pi evident.

Imports Of Ripe. —The imports of
lice of all kinds into the United States
for the nice mouths ending October
1 weie 76,000 short tons, against
5?,000 short tons during the same
period the pievious year. These in
creased imports reflect the condition
of the supply visib'e and invisible in
the United States, and slwuv \v!:y
lirices opened tolerably bigli this
season, amt show further why they
should be maintained
The recent slump in rice bad no
foundation worthy of credence. The
supply came along a little too fast
for the buyers, who generally have
resources too limited to enable them
to stock up heavily in rough rice, and
will of course buy it as cheaply as
they cau, and those who force rough
rice on an unwilling market must
expect to take what they can get for
their produce, no matter what or how
much hard wot k it cost. The statis
tical situatian of rice is a strong one.
There is no surplus, and the domestic
crop should bring an equivalent to
the full cost of foreign lice plus the
duty. This price, however, can not
be secured except rice be held back
awaitiug an actual demand for it,
which is sure to come later on.—
Southern Farmer.

The Rainy Day Club, iu New York

the Health-Culture Club, ot Brooklyn,
sixtv-tive strong, is working for e
general adoption of modified streeJ
costumes. Length of skirt varies ac
cording to occupation and weather,
from three to six inches from the
ground being the specified length.
From the number of convictions, re
potted by our exchanges in recent
terms of the courts, crime seems to be
rampant tluougliout the State. And j
when we remember that there are a i
small number of convictions compared
to the actual crimes committed, we |
may well pause to reflect upon the >
amount of lawlessness that goes un
punished every where. It is fulltime
for law officers,* the couits and the
people at large to do their full duty
and bring-the lawless element to jus
tice.—Crowley Signal.

If ive could only recognize our true
wants, perceiving wlmt is really ad
Viintageou», ive should avoid much
worry and many useless repinings.
Happiness and peace of mind come
only with content, and how little is
needed to satisfy actual necessities.
A well ordered home, good plain food,
intelligent surroundings, simple re
creations. would carry all through
life with domestic happiness add pub
lic esteem. But too many are not
satisfied with these solid and substan
tial blessings. Their diess must be
mure expensive, seivants must be
more numerous, houses larger and
furniture more costly than their
neighbors. Why not glance at those
below you, who are iu need of tlie
actual comforts of life, and timuk

Don't fret and worry about things
