Raidinr ne Bakers.

From the N. Z. C0mmer3laI ADVERTISER.
The police in parts Of England are Just
now making raids upon bakers and tax
ing legal proceedings in cases where
bread has been sold deficient in weight.
There is a widespread feeling that, oW-
ing to the low price of wheat, the profits
of bakers are unusually high. 1t was
urged in behalf of fifteen bakers who. had
been convicted and fined at Bath, either
for selling bread short In weight or de-
iVering bread from a cart without proper
scales and weights, that the loss Of the
purchaser was not over one sixteenth OF
a penny where the pound of bread
was short BY an ounce. But it was justly
contended that while thisSlOss to pur-
chaser was trivial, 1t was Important to
the baker, inasmuch as it represented the
gain of q penny upon every four four
pound lOayes that were represented.

A Really Able Rat Story.

From the CunOquenesseng News.
A large number of rats established
themselves in a hay loft about midway
between the floor and the top Of the hay.
The owner of the premises, hearing a
continuous squealing noise in the loft,
took a fork and removed the hay from
the place whence the noise proceeded,
and uncovered a nest of about twenty
rats. Several Of them ran and were
caught by the dog, but a bundle Of six
teen full-grOWn animals remained Onthe
spot; their tails were plated together,
something after the fashion of a whip
cord. By picking up one of them the
rest adhered, and could not be shaken
apart. 1t was supposed by persons who
saw them that in order to avoid cold the
rat occupying the top Of the pile sought
a warmer place by creeping underneath,
bat, not having room to draw his tail af-
ter him, it was left sticking out, the next
rat did the same and so on until all had
changed their position, and every indi-
vidual rats tail was entWined into the
curious knot that held them together
If they had not been discovered and
killed they must have starved, as they
could not have separated.

Washington d. c., December The
report of Hugh A1cCulloch, Secretary of
the Treasury, Is a document of consider
able length and comprehensive in charac-
ter. He declares that our foreign trade
demands attention, and IN its inves-
t1gatlOn the question of tariff viii
be involved. He advises the ap-
poinment Of 8 Commission to in
Vestigate the matter and gather in
formation on these subjects. He
believes that If the condition of our for
elgn trade was thoroughly understood
there would be a greater uneaslness IN
the public mind than now exists. This
com mission, he thinks, should assume
that the tariff on raw materials should
be removed and reduced on articles
of necessity, but the reductions
should be slow and gradual. Letter A,
In regard to the internal revenue taxes
he declares that, with the exception of
the tax upon whisky, they ought not
and Will not be needed for revenue if
the appropriations are kept within rea-
sOnable bounds and rigid economy IS
established in all branches Of the public
service, and he can see no good
reason for their continuance. He
also declares that the tax upon tobacco
should be removed. The tax upon alec
hOl used in manufacturing, he thinks,
also SQOuIQ De removed. Regarding Sill
VOr coinage he says: AFTER giving the
subject careful consideration have been
forced to the conclusion that unless both
the coinage of silver dollars and the
issue Of silver certificates are
suspended, there is danger that
silver and not gold may become
our metallic standard, and cause a severe
contraction. But whatever might be
the effect of the suspension of coinage
upon the commercial value of silver, it
is very clear that the coinage can
not be continued without detri-
ment to general business and danger
to the National credit. The coinage of
silver dollars under the act Of February
8, 1873, has now reached the very large
amount of "a, 73O,829, being an increase
of 28,OOO88O for the year ending Novem-
ber1 1884. The amount of these dollars
in actual circulation is Al 1926, 1856.
The increase in circulation for the year
has only been ], 26O, 346, against an in
crease Of 4 136, 32l for the previous year.
These figures of themselves are an in
superable argument against the COntin-
ued coinage of silver dollars.

MOurnful plants TO the sad winds signing
Dead In the Autumn-L1me.

Touched by the sun-gOds crimson flaming
To glory of gold and red.
Sadder than shadows, the glow and glory
Telling 10 earth the same Oid story

What if hearts in the still golden splendOr
Die in the afteF-glOW-
Weary OF LIE and tossed by their dOubtings
into the deep water below
Swallowed by pain in the sun clrcled days
Sad as the leaves in the misty Dy-Ways-
Dead in the Winter drear.
Oh, for the lessons Of life they give us,
Oh. for the lessons bitter-sWeet-
Memories fair that are gone forever,
Hopes tina. lie dead at our feet.
Born in the sun to die in the shadow
Dead in the Winter-tide.
