THE COST OF LIVING.

In the interview by the Associated Press
reporter with Senator Stanford on his ar
rival in New York, the Senator said that in
England the cost of living is greater to the
working man than in the United States,
while his wages are lower and his comforts
greatly less. Taking up Reynolds news
paper (London) for September ID, we find
second quality or middling beef quoted,
per eight pounds, by the carcass. at IS Sd,
which is IS cents, IL cents per pound.
The same class of meat in Sacramento is
quoted, by the carcass, at 5 to 81 cents per
pound, or less than half the English carcass
rate. Mutton in London is quoted: mid
ding, As I'D per eight pounds, by the car
cass, which is 81 o., or ID cents per pound
In Sacramento like meat of the best rates at 7
cents. An intelligent Englishman, who was
raised within the circle of the wage-earning
class in England, on being asked how the
English workingman could pay prices for
meats based on the carcass quotations re-
Ierred to, replied: We don't eat meat
there to be sure, there are occasions, but
we do not have meat upon the table there
as your workman does here" Which was
satisfactory and expected reply, and gives
emphasis to the remark attributed to Sena-
tor Stanford.
On the same authority we find potatoes
quoted in London, per ton Of 1900. at from
SIG 50 to $40 40; corresponding qualities
are quoted in Sacramento at from $l2 to
SIS per ton of 1000 pounds. These quota
tons might be extended along the line of
staples, to prove that in cheap-labor
England, food to which the American is
accustomed is not only not cheaper but of
greater cost than in the United States and
that the English workingman cannot and
does not enjoy the comforts of table or of
surroundings which are common to the
American wage. Garner.

Primeval Man in America.

The environment read from geology in
dicates that the Trenton man was hunter
OF fisherman who used and lost the primi-
tive tools of his mysterious craft within
the waters rather than upon the land, and
thus appears to materially narrow the
range of hypothesis rs to his activities !:
but the extravaganza in labor indicated by
the vast numbers of unworn implements
suggests that the rapid modification in en-
ylronment and occupation accompanying
the ice-invasion outran the resulting modi-
fcation in appliances, and that the imple-
ments were really invented on land and
were but ill-adapted to the new conditions;
and the introduction Of a new type of i'm
plement during the brief epoch of gravel
deposition gives support to the suggestion.
So the margin of the cloud enveloping
the beginnings of human life in America
is slowly lifting. Already there is definite
and cumulative evidence of mans exist
ence during the latest ice epoch, with a
strong presumption against an earlier
origin than the first quarternary ice-inva-
sion; already it is known that the print
tive American haunted the ice front rather
than the fertile plain, and must have been
hunter or fisherman; already his environ
ment is so well known as to partially eluci-
date his activities but the first traces of
the autochthon yet found tell of an intelli-
gent being vino dominated the animal
world as does his descendant, and thus the
mystery Of mans ultimate origin remains
enshrouded as darkly as ever.-Popular

II Was q Regular Procession.

r. tells good story Of an old friend of
his, trapper. TIE old fellow has shed
in which he makes shingles in the sum-
mer, splitting them out of cedar logs with
an ak. Most of the shingles here are made
in this way. One of the neighbors had
some sheep which had run wild in the
woods, and as he could not get them in he
asked +. to shoot them whenever he came
across them. One day when hunting he
started one of these sheep on trail in the
woods, near the trail which led to the
trapper's shingle shed. The sheep being
very wild ran down the trail and reached
the turn just as F. came out on it. Just
at this moment big bear sprang out on
the sheep but missed it, and the sheep,
taking the trail to the single shed, ran
for its life, with the bear in hot pursuit.
F., who had just parting glimpse of the
animals, followed on as fast as his legs
could carry him. The old trapper was at
work in his shed and had just stopped over
when the frightened sheep came along,
and plunging through the shed, trampled
over the old man and rushed madly away
AS the trapper gathered his long form up
from among the shingles he was confronted
by the bear, which snorted wildly and
bolted into the timber. And as the bear
disappeared and the old man arose pain
fully to his feet, rubbing his sore bones, he
saw something else coming through the
dust that filled the air. Not knowing
what to expect next, he braced himself to
meet the next conner, which turned out to
be F., on the run. "Oh, it's you, is itY'
gasped the oldItrapper; well, what the
old blankety blank blank is comm next 2"

NIB. CLEvELAND'S POLICY INTER
PRETED IN ENGLAND.

The Democratic orators continue to tier
ate that the Cleveland policy does not mean
the opening of the United States as free
market for Europe. The protest is renewed
that it is unfair" 10 prefer the charge in
the face of Mr.. Cleyeland's explicit dis
chalmers that he favors free trade. AS Mr..
Reed well puts it, this disclaimer is in
itself an admission that free-trade policy
Is not desirable. But il happens that far
away criticism, which looks upon the
American contest free from the atmosphere
of partisan contention. interprets the basic
argument and logical outcome of Mr..
Cleveland's policy precisely as does Gen.
eral Harrison. Let US premise that the
quotations we give in proof are not open to
any doubt as to their authenticity. The
London Star says:
The reelection of Mr.. Cleveland means the
adoption of his programme of tariff revision,
and his ideas on that subject go long way to-
ward free trade.
The Sheffield Independent is even more
explcit-and, by the way, it is noted as a
journal of very careful and calm expression
says:
The reelection Of President Cleveland means
free trade IN America, and Tree trade there
means several years of prosperity in Sheffield.
The London Saturday Repie0, scholarly
and far seeing influence, and one that has
been consistently the enemy of this coun-
try, says:
Mr.. Cleveland declines cautiously to dub him
self free-trader but he takes up free trade
position without disguise.
The London Iron and Coal Trade Rerie,y
warns its readers not to be too sanguine of
the proposed change in the American rev.
enue policy, because {" the Mills bill is not
yet law - but adds:
1t is evident from the events OF the past few
weeks that the progress towards free trade in
the United States has been much greater than
was generally expected. However much
patent that great progress has been made on the
road toward absolute free trade, and particu-
larry has this been the since the date of the
delivery of the Presidents message.
These are representative of the express
sion OF ninety mine out of every hundred
of the trade, commercial, political and
news journals of Great Britain The con-
sensus of English opinion, then, interprets
Mr.. Clevelands policy very differently from
Mr.. Cleveland's own expression upon the
subject-but the English journals are no
restrained from frank and undisguised ut
terance of opinion, by political ambition
such as underlies Mr.. Cleveland's hopes.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is foe to good ma
ture.
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular
habits, and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American people
a nation OF dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad bust
ness and making the American people so
healthy that they can enjoy their meals
and be happy.
Remember: Nohappiness without health
But Green's August Flower brings health
and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask your

sists of clearly defined tunnel, the sides
commonly somewhat smooth and COM
pacted by the energy with which the body
of the creature has been driven through it.
The passage inclines steeply downward,
descending at the outset at an angle
of from 200 to 800, then turning at the
depth of two or three feet to
more horizontal position. On the surface,
little beyond this entrance, is a heap of
debris, which consist of the sand taken
from the passage. A few feet in from the
opening, the passage appears to be closed
by loose material which was not
elected from the mouth of the tunnel. Al
though have been unable to catch these
tortoises at work, / have succeeded by
tolerably safe differences in tracing their
method of operation. When they begin
the burrow, they endeavor at once to pene-
trate downward to the level in which they
obtain their food. At the outset they man
age, by frequently backing out of the pas
sage and thrusting the earth behind them
IN their retreat, to clear a considerable
opening. When they have advanced few
feet In the excavation, they cease to dis
charge the material excavated in their ad-
vance, but thrust it behind them, and
leave it lying in the chamber, which it
entirely closes. With this storage-room
provided, the gophers are able to ad.
vance through the earth for the dis
lance of several yards; but as
the earth compacted by its own weight,
by the pressure exercised through the
expansion Of roots, and the action of the
rain, occupies less space than the same
material loosened in the progress of the
burrow, they soon become hampered in
their movements. They then turn toward
the surface and continue their excavation
upward until they have attained very
nearly the open air. They then use the
great strength, which they clearly possess,
to thrust quantity of the burrowed ma
terial upward until it rises above the sur
face in the form of cone, and by the
space in the burrow thereby gained they
are able to go a few feet further

The London Times" having q
letter from President Cleveland in
its possession, after quoting passages
from it, editorially says: ut would
hardly be possible to put the free
trade case more clearly or more
strongly. The arguments which
Cleveland uses are those which Cob
den used to employ forty-fiye years
ago. and which any English free
trader would employ now. They are
purely free-trade arguments, aRd as
such we are glad to see Cleveland
using them, though sorry for the
popular infatuation which makes it
dangerous to give them their right
name"
