l long ago dun made up my mind dat
average humanity expects too much on
this airth, an dat we am all too selfish
to really injoy ourselves.
If we plan fur a hucklcberry excur-
shun we look fur dry weather, no matter
how much our naybur's con an taters
want rain.
II dar am any danger of spring frosts
we expeck dey win fly ober our garden
an light down ON somebody else s
truck-patch.
We expeck cyclones now an den in
de material order of fings, but we doan'
expeck 'cm to hit our eand of de county.
We am sorry fur SIGH people as was in
de way, but dey orter bin som'ers else,
you know.
If we take in a tramp over night, we
expect him to be honest an grateful.
If anybody else takes in one an gifts
beat, our vardict am dat it sarved 'em
right.
We expect to git de big eand of dc
trade when we swap bosses wild a man,
but if we diskiver dat we hev bin cheat
ed we want de law to punish him for a
swindler.
Moas Of us am willin to take our
chances Oh matrimony if de gal am
good-lookin' or de young man has cash,
but when de rollin'-pins begin to fly we
blame our friends dat dey didn't warn
US.
If we lose our pocketbook we argy dat
de pusson who find it am as bad as a
thief if he doan' return it. If we find
some one else's pocketbook we-well, it
comes like pullin' teeth to let go.
We respeck our naybur, but we want
our beets, an cabbage, an onions to
keep about week ahead of his.
We doan' know of any pertickler rea-
son why lightnin' should strike our
BAN, but we kin furnish half dozen
reasons why it should burn bans all
around us.
We begin in October to predict mild
winter, an if we happen to git one we
kick like steer dc mex summer bekase

The latest development of the earth
movement in South Carolina IS the fall
of showers of pebbles, which must have
been elected from some newly formed
opening in the surface of the earth 1t
is within the range of probability that
the earth stress may relieve itself
further by eruption. The generation OF
n volcano in our Southeastern states
would be q strange experience, indeed.
In Oregon there are several extinct
craters, and the mountain range along
the Pacific coast bears the marks OF vol
canic action at a remote period. These
old craters may renew their activity I'M
expectedly, but in the Southeast there
has been notable absence of such dis

A principal rival of the United States
in wheat production is India, whose cur
rency is silver; the Indian wheat raiser
sells his product in London at gold
prices; the purchase money is RENTED
to him in bills which are cashed in silver;
rs the white metal declines with refer
ence to gold, he gets more and more
money per bushel for his wheat; there
fore every fall in the value of silver bull
lion is equivalent to a rise in the price
paid to the producer of Indian wheat,
and acts as a bonus to stimulate him TO
farther production. BY this means it is
claimed that Indian production and ex-
portation have been SO enormously in
creased MS to drive the United States al
