Some years ago the world was treat
ed to stories, which tested the credui-
ty OF readers, respecting the Brobdig-
nagian, farms Of great land proprietors
in the far west. Farms proportional
rather to the more liberal dimensions
Of Saturn or Jupiter than to. the
cramped bounds of this tiny planet
were reported, where the eye was
wearied With gazing on crops by the
square m,le, cultivated by steam
plows driven in platoons. All this
was magnificent. but it was not farm
ing. At least, according to Theodore
Roosevelt, who had been studying up
that subject, the big farms do not
pay. He says that in nearly every
case where the experiment has been
tried the result has been the collapse
Of the wealthy capitalist or corpora
ton. The one big farm, he finds, can
not compete with the many small
ones, side BY side with, it each OF which
IS carefully and economically titled by.
ita.frngal owner. And it is fortunate
that such has proved to be the case
for the prosperity Of . new settlement

"What is Lloyd's?" a question off,
en- asked, is answered IN an English
paper. The great marine insurer OF
the world. And yet it is. not a Joint
stock company, nor q ''limited" asso-
clation,nor are its members bound to-
gether by any mutual interest. 1t is
a perfectly anomalous inititution,
and yet the greatest of the kind the
world ever saw. The rooms of Lloyd's
are the rendezvous of the most emf
nent merchants, ship owners, under
writer's, insurance brokers and
bankers. The merchant room is su-
derintendel by shipmaster, who
speaks dozen languages or more,
and welcomes business men from
every nation. The captains room is
a coffee room, where ship owners and
sea captains meet together, transact
business, and discuss the news. But
it is the subscribers room that makes
Lloyd's the attraction that it is. The
2,1OO underwriters ana subscribers
who pay their annual four guineas
here, and their 25 pounds initiation
fee, represent nearly the. whole coiie-;
mercial wealth of England. Lloyd's
itself does not insure; it isonly tho

What Two Ladies Said--A Lesson
For Young Men.

Three months ago a young man of
twenty-five and his mother landed in
Detroit from an Eastern State with
less than $50 III money. He had
been promised work, but reached there
to be disappointed. The household
goods were there, and the couple
hadn't enough money to 80 away on.
1t was therefore decided to rent rooms
and remain and search for work. The
young man made every effort, but
was unsuccessful. His money was
nearly gone, and house-rent was com
Ing due again, when, one evening as he
passed up Grand River avenue, he
heard one lady say to another, as
they stood in 'front.' OF q bakery:
''Dear me! but IwiSh Icould get hold
OF some old-fashioned doughnuts, such
as mother used to makes
awe said that every day for the past
ten years, " replied the other.
The young man followed them home
and made note ofstreet and plumber.
He then laid out all his money in flour
and lard and carried the goods (.home
and said to his mother: !
1.-The people OF Detroit want old
fashioned doughnuts. You shall make
them and I will sell them from house
to house. will start out with the
first batch tomorrow morning.
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of them.
were ready by seven O'Clock, and in
half an hour he had sold them and was
back. Next day he sold twelve dozen,
and the next thirty. He had struck
a good thing, and he had sense
enoug h to manage it. He started out
to take orders from house to house,
and the result was astonishing.
Two girls had to be hired to assist
the mother. and he had to hire two
boys to help deliver. He now fills or
ders for three hundred dozen dough-
nuts daily and the women have d.
vlded up the time so that one is con-
stantly at work turning out the goods.
Flour is purchased by the barrel and
lard by the hundred pounds, and the
business finds new customers every
day.
There is lesson in this for the hun
dreds of young men who roam about
g. city declaring that there is nothing
to DO, and no way open for them to
make a living. They may not all turn
doughnut makers and prddlers, but
there are other fields to be worked,
and if well worked, must give perma~
nent occupation and fair profit.

At q recent meeting at Bradford,
Eng, one Of the speakers, Mr. I. Hold
en-, referring to the position of trade,
gave as his Judgment that the price of
wool was rapidly approximating to
chat OF cotton, q matter which could
not fail to exert a great influence on
the course OF trade. The production
was rapidly increasing, and one val
ley alone had capabilities in that di-
rection which might meet the require
ments OF the world. In La Plata FIVE
years ago there were 100000 of
sheep; now there were 80, 900, 900, and
there was still room for an indefinite
increase. The difficulties of treating
the wool had been overcome, and he
indicated how it might take the place
Of many fabrics, such as sateen, in
which cotton was now used.

session OF the public domain. Cow
boys employed by the company were
masquerading as settlers, and taking
up homesteads. Mr.. Sparks also, re-
