America is sending us prime beef
and mutton. American wool is ousting
English from the market. American
apples are more numerous in the Eng
fish market than home grown. America
is now sending lis English plum pud-
dings ready for boiling. American

There is young compositor in Santa
Fe, N. NJ, who possesses the singular
faculty of being able to spell backward

his own person, is far from possessing
any ideal tidiness and poetic elegance Of
taste and mien AS he walks on Sum-
mer afternoons through Hyde Park,

figure. The London World presents
specialized and wild-locked caricature of
the poet, with this verse;
In her ear he whispers grufhy.
"Pork for lunch, for dinner tripe;
See that nether's done TOO toughly-
Bring a match and light my pipep'
She replies 30 hated bird's-eye,
Curse and honor Of my lifel"
