Mistakes OF preiudice.

Popular feeling against anything
like a spurious article is always
remarkable, though it is not al
ways ratiofal. A few years ago,
when glucose began to be nsca
in the manufacture of candies and
and sweet stuffs, firms Which made
no secret of the fact that they
were using it, lost quite a large
quantity of trade III consequence.
The wiser ones had their cans la
beled, italian sirups, and no one
was any the wiser. Ask any
physician to-day why children
suffer less from excessive indul-
gence III candies than formerly,
and he will tell You that the sub
stitution of glucose for what
might be called more orthodox
commodities is the cause. So
much for the common sense of
prejudice.

The pleasures of Eating.

Editing a paper, says provIn-
cial editor, is a pleasant thing.
If it contains too much political
matter, people won't have it; if it
contains too little, they won't
have it. If the type is too large,
it doesn't contain enough reading
matter; if the type is too small,
they can't read it. If telegraphic
reports are published, some folks
say they are nothing but hashes
up; if they are omitted, they say
there is want of enterprise. If
we put in few jokes, folks say
we are nothing but rattle-head;
if we omit jokes, they say we are
an old fossil. If we we publish
original matter, they condemn us
for not giving them selections; if
we publish selections, folks say
we are lazy for not giving them
what they have not read in some
other paper. If we give man
complimentary notices we are
censured for being partial; if we
do not, all hands says we are a
great boor. If we insert an arti-
Gle which pleases the. ladies, men
become Jealous; if we do not cater
to their wishes. the paper is not
fit to be In their houses. If we
attend church, they say it is only
for effect; if we DO not, they de
nounce us as deceitful and des-
perateiy wicked. IF we speak
well of any act, folks say we dare
not do otherwise; if we censure,
they call us traitor. IF we re-
main in our office and attend to
business. folks say we are too
proud tomingle with our fellows;
if we go about bit, they say we
had better stay at home and get
on with our work If we do not
pay all bills promptly, folks say
we are not to be trusted; if we do
pay promptly. they say we stole
the money.

The tariff on sugar averages
over two cents pound. II was
the same one year ago. Thcn
sugar sold for three cents a pound
less than it does NOW. The sugar
trust brought about the increase
in prices. Without protective
tariff there could be no sugar
trust. The farmer that votes for
protection merely votes to in
crease his own cost of living.

The case of the Florida man
who had his love letters produced
and read in court, should teach
other lovers moderation in the.
making of osculatory contracts.
In a single poscript the Florida
man undertook to deliver TO the
lady of his choice no less than.
/ ,000, 600, ,000, 600 kisses. And as
such contracts are not infreqnent-
ly made in love letters it may be.
well to give a thought TO the
magnitude of the undertaking.
Whoever will take the trouble
to figure it out viii ind that even
il, this amorous Southerner should
give the lady 5000 kisses a
minute land we affirm that no
person could hope to do more
than that, and even if he could
keep up. at this rate of OSCILLATION
twenty four hours a day, never
pausing to eat, sleep or take
breath, working sos days every
year, it would take him more
than 100 years TO complete the
contract. And by that time, it is
painful to reflect, the ardor of
his love may have cooled. Even
at the end of 100 years, counting
$4,000 kisses a minute, there.
would remain an undelivered
balance of more than 200,000,-
100000, number which In.
itself might well appall the most
industrious.
We therefore feel constrained
to advise writers of love letters
not to undertake contracts of the
magnitude of that reported from
Florida.-Boston Globe.

which now. is felt in every part of the
country, should circumstances con-

The present excitement in regard
to the discovery of gold in Lower
California would seem to indicate
that these reports, increased by travel
and colored Imagination, still have
power to dethrone reasons and good
Judgment. If the fabulous state
ments are true, there is plenty of gold
for all, so there is no necessity for
undue haste; and ii by any chance the
picture should be too lightly colored
little delay until the truth is known

THE OUTLOOK FOR CATTLE.
Better Prices Expected During the Next
Few Years.

The Eastern stock journals are
beginning to exhibit some alarm at
the outlook of the cattle market
They claim to be in possession OF in
formation showing that the production
of cattle on the range has fallen off
over 60 per cent. during the past
three years. This is owing to the
rapid settlement of the western plains
the cutting up of ranges, the removal
of unlawful fences, and the many
other causes which combined to make
beef-cattle so cheap that many of the
heaviest raisers have been compelled
to retire from the business. The
result, these newspapers state, will be
that within couple of years the
country will begin to suffer from a
beef famine which will last for a few
years, or until the farmers in the great
corn and grass producing regions OF
the West resume the growing and
feeding of cattle on the farm, which
has been well-nigh abandoned owing
to the ruinous competition Of range
cattle.

Chicago Mining Review.
For some time predictions have
been made concerning the probable
activity in mining matters in 1889,
in harmony with the belief which has
obtained such general recognition,
that the beginning of each decade
will be marked by unusual activity
in the precious mineral fields. There
was no evidence that this confidence,
which has been shown since 1S49,
would be realized, but the year
scarcely begins before the intense ex-
element in Lower California brought
into prominence and confirmed the
popular belief. This exciting dis
covery of gold in Lower California
seems to lose none of its interest, al
though the reports are conflicting, as
they always are in regard to such
matters, and the interest shown indi-
Gates the general feeling and readi-
ness of the people to improve what
may be demonstrated to be valuable
in the mining fields. In addition to
this discovery in California, report
comes from Montana of very rich dis
covery of gold, which is attracting
more than ordinary attention.; and
Colorado and Idaho also announce
important movements already SEEM
ing to offer new fields, which are
opening with attractive features.
1t is said that the old miners, who
were superstitious, believe that the
charm number nine is the multiple of
the Trinity. The discovery Of gold
in lS49, in California, marked a new
era in the history of the Pacific Coast,
and the settlement Of this portion of
the country, and the establishment OF
important industrial and commercial
industries was probably made per-
manent more than hundred years in
advance of the natural movement OF
the border line of civilization, by this
gold fever, which drew from the pop
ulation of the whole country quota
which became the founders and build
ers of this great State. In 1859 Ne
vada came to the front with the
Comstock mines, which made million.
aires of many men, and contributed
also largely to the advancement o.
California. This was followed by
another revival in 1869, and Lead
vile in 1879 became nearer center
of attraction, which did much for the
prosperity and rapid growth of this
Centennial State. Now in 1889 the
| discovery of the Santa Clara mine il
Lower California, and the rumors o
rich ore and attractive mines in othe
portions of the country indicate a re
vival of the scenes and histories o
the past, but in many respects, unde
much more favorable conditions, will
better experience in mining, witt
better facilities, and more EXTENDED
traffic lines, the result promises to b.
more permanent and satisfactory, es
pecially as the element of stock spec
ulation appears to be secondary in
stead of most prominent, and bust
ness methods more generally prevail
as the result of the experience of tn
past.
