few years ago. Chicago, st. Paul and
other western cities sre monetary centers
Of great significance, and rates OF in
terest there are not 60 much higher
than in New York or Boston as they
used to be. Capitalists have more Iaith
in western properties than they have
heretofore entertained, and in many
cases prefer the rich lands of the Weet
TO the poor and exhausted farms of the
East as securities for loans Besides it
is a known fact that thsxb bops in the
West this year are enormous, and pro-
vision has been made for their moving.
This has caused much money to seek
the West. A dispatch in the HER
AID today indicates a great improve
ment in the general business of the coun-
try over the status of year ago. All
figures point to better times as near
at hand. The sale Of the seasons
crops will put great deal Of money in
circulation, which will everywhere vital
ize all branches Of trade.

TIE deposition OF Dom Pedro recalls
an incident in the career Of that monarch
which makes it seem impossible that he
could ever have been hurled from the
throne which he did 80 much to honor.
Shortly before the emancipation OF the
negroes in Brazil, Dom Pedro was waited
upon by two committees, the one con.
servative and the other liberal, the for.
mer to protest against anv interference
with the serfs and the latter to demand
some amelioration In their condition.
The liberals requested that the Emperor
would notify them Of the progress Of the
agitation. swell, gentlemen, )" said Dom
Pedro, III can satisfy you right here and
now. am evidently more Of liberal
than you are, and propose that the
slaves shall be absolutely emancipated. 4"
That settled the question. Ordinarily,
a monarch like that would be allowed to
serve his term out, 30 to speak.

In the parish of Winfarthing are two
magnificent oak trees, one of which ie
known as the "Winfarthing Oak" the
other is little inferior to it in magni-
tude, put appears to have been generally
passed over in favor of the more cele-
brated tree first mentioned. These trees
were inspected by Robert Mar
sham, F. Il. s., the friend and
correspondent of Gilbert White, and
q great agriculturist in 1744, and
he has lett In his diary accurate measure
ments OF both. The larger tree meas.
ured at that time 3S feet I inches in cir
cumference, and the smaller just 80 feet.
In the year 1874, when these trees were
measured according to Marsham's
method, the larger tree was just 40 feet
IN circumference and the smaller 80 feet.
1t will thus be seen that one tree had in
creased IL inches in 100 years, whereas
the other bad remained in statu q4o.- -

We HAVE seen it estimated that as
high as 200,00 Americans visited
Europe this year, the usual number hav-
ing been greatly increased on account OF
the Worlds Fair in Paris. This vast
number Of pleasure-seekers must neces.
sarily, in the main, belong to the wealthy
classes, for it goes without saying that but
very few wage workers can save enough
money to make the trip. The average
American who visits Europe, and stops at
the hotels, will find, when he comes to
balance his cash account on his return
home, that it has cost him in the
vicinity Of $50 day to make the grand
tour. II we put the sum at half that
amount and say that the visit has averaged
all round three months, or ninety days,
then we have as result the astounding
expenditure abroad of the American
contingent this year OF $3.50. 900 900. Is
it any wonder that there has been a
stringency in the money market this
fall? Every dollar Of that vast amount
was Withdrawn in gold from the circula-
ton Of the country to meet the expenses
of our foreign tourists this season, and
not one dollar in ten is returned by
European tourists visiting this country.
Verify, we are spendthrift people.

Not for Angels.

My father, being scenic artist him

cal, and when the painter asked his opin-
ion OF the dome he replied:
"Well, since you ask me, don't you
think that your angels are little stiff in
their attitudes?"
mo sir; not for angels. When / deal
with NEUROLOGICAL subjects I never put
my figures in natural attitudes; it would
be inharmonious. A natural angel would
be out of keeping with the rest of the
work."
To which nay father replied that it was
quite likely that such would be the case.
"But why have you made Handel and
Beethoven frown at each other? Thew
are not mytological subjects"
mo, no." said the painter. "But
they are musicians, you know; and
great musicians always quarrel, eh /?

FARMERS and landowners in the @

FARMERS and landowners in the Ca
huengs and Ballona districts have Of
fered to plant total acreage OF 1920 to
sugar beets il assurance is given them
that factory will be established at
some convenient point in the section.
II the spreckelses are serious in their
offer to erect refinery plant where they
can be assured of sufficient supply of
beets to keep it going, surely this propo-
sition ought to strike them favorabIy.
Perhaps the speediest way for these
farmers to secure factory would be for
them to plant out q few acres Of sugar
beets each, go as to prove the adaptable
ity Of the soil to this valuable root. That
fact placed beyond controversy, either
the spreckels or the American company
would doubtless see 1t to their interest
to locate factory in the district at once.

THERE has been more or less anxiety
Ia business circles all over the country
on account Of the low status OF the bank
reserves in New York City. This has
been thought the more significant from
the fact that the exports Of specie from
this country for the year past exceeded
the imports by more than 800, 900, 900.
But In spite Of these facts, there does not
seem to be any very great cause for
alarm. People coming here from west.

easy than otherwise In such centers.
