At the thought Of EPSON saltsl
Underneath the pill-box lid

Nature seems to know its busines.
A naturalist says: The alligators OF
the Orinoco, previous to going in search
of prey, always swallow large stones,
that they may acquire additional weight
to aid them in dragging their prey

Between 1860 and 1890 the popula-

81, 900, 900 to $4,000, 900, or just 100

annual expenses of the government
have increased from SG2, ,000,000 to
$500, 200, 900, or nearly 800 per cent.

Weather-Crop Bulletin No. | for
Missouri,

The rainfall has been normal and the
snow which covered the ground in the
northern part of the state has been very
beneficial 10 the wheat crop.
The temperature and sunshine were
normal during the week.
Whcat.-The wheat crop has appar-
emily winlrred well in nj! sections of
the state and the prospect for Il good
crop appear to be much better than nj
this time last year. In some few places
the alternate freezing and thawing dur
ing the last of February and the first of
March did some slight damage but in
other places there has been sufficient
snow to protect the wheat from serious
injury.
Condition of the soil.-The ground
throughout the state is generally too
wet for seeding TO begin.
The northwest section has received
more precipitation than last year and
begins the season with more mOiS-
turc i'll the ground than it has had for
several years.
The conditions for all crops are re-
ported favorable in that section.
The southwest section reports that
spring seeding will he slightly DELAYED
by the wet soil.
The southeast section has not rcceiv-
ed excessive rains like it did last wear
and IN many counties spring seeding is
being pushed with vigor.
The peach crop has been injured hv
frost in many Conntiea of the state.
The greatest damage being reported
from Nodaway, where the prospect is
given as twenty per cent.
The following estimates have been
made mp from reports received up tn
date by the secretary at the board of
agriculture. Condition of small ltnit,
eighty EIGHT per cent; condition of
apples, eighiy-tour per cent: condition
of peaches, SiXty-nine per cent.
Spring plowing began in the southern
counties in February hut has been in
tcrruptcd by wet weather. Very little
oats have been sown,
Stock is healthy and in excellent
condition hut has not yet been turned

Al the White House.

Two little girls of my acquaintance,
writes Il correspondent, were playing
"COme to Sce.'' Each had Il little
play house under the apple trees in the
rear of little Nannie's home, and they
made pleasant but somewhat ccremoni-
ous visits to each other under the names
of Mrs. President Cleveland and Mrs
President Harrison. Their CONVEX
Sation, however, was not always
in harmony with the characters and
positions of the ladies whose names
they had assumed.
The dialogue ran something like this.
Mrs. Harrison said: al must get to
work and make a pie for Benjamin 5
dinner. lie always makes such II fuss
if don't have pie for dinner, and then
| must scrub out the halls. There's II
sight of work to do here in the White

"Oh, know replied Mrs. Clcvc-
land, patronizingly. There was when
we lived here. 1t just kept Grover and
me on the jump all the time to keep
things looking decent. That's one
reason we were glad to move"
at does keep one busy" said Mrs.
Harrison, ''but Benjamin and ! think
it's real pleasant here, and we're not
going to move soon, if we can help :;
but well have to keep girl, | guess. y
"Yes. you'll need one if you give
such big parties us gave replied
Mrs. Cleveland. Zone has to- cook up
so much when it comes to inviting all
of congress to dinner. Congressman
are such awful eaters that Mr.. Cleve-
land often said it would break us up if
we had to have them often. Dear me,
| am glad we don't live here now"
"Well, there's one comfort, and that
is that you amt likely ever TO have TO
live here again." said Mrs Harrison,
consolingly.
"Perhaps not-we shall see about
that" said Mrs Cleveland, stilly, aS
she rose to 90. But before she took
her departure she stated the original
object of her visit, which set the two
concealed listeners off into shouts of
laughter.
~ came over,' she said, s'to see if
you would lend me Mr.. Harrison S

Cleveland pair, and | haven't very

so offended both ladies that they left

A year ago to-day, my love,
My heart was full Of care;
The gathered grief of long, long years,
Seemed more than could bear.
The past was all so fraught with pain,
The present dim with woe,
The future looked so dark to me
One little year ago.

In silence, all alone;
No friend to cheer with kindly word,
No hand to clasp my own;
No dream or hope of light or love
To bless my shadowcd way.

Is Just before the day"
So, when my deepest night had come,
And life was wellnigh gone,

Rent every cloud away,
And heaven swung dazzling down to me

That drove her relations to drink.

HOW NATURE ADJUSTS PRICES.
The price of every leading commodi-
ty of commerce, SO far us il is not
affected by local or temporary inilucn-
ccs, depends upon the quantity of that
article for sale in the world compared
with the demand for il and the quantity
of money in the world which is appli-
cable to the purchase of commodities.
This is as much as to say that prices
are regulated by the relative quantities
of property and of money II, existence
anu ny the demand for each. Though
monopolies, embargoes, and tariffs in
terfere with this general law, yet their
influence being left out of consideration,
LIc 2tucIdlllIlt0 lS IFS StdIcu.
Its supposed by those who have given
investigation to the subject that for
every dollar in the form of money there
ought to be in every country some $50
in the form of other property. If so,
then if the volume of money be doubled
- will perform the service which 81
did before, and the value of property
stated in money will be doubled. II
the volume of money be reduced by half,
then one dollar will have to measure
what two did before and prices will be
reduced q halt. Nature sets men to
work in all the industries of the cart h,
producing things in great quantities
and variety. She also sets them To
work in the mining of the precious
metals.
These operations of nature, exercised
through human industries, produce
property and money in quantities better
ordered and adjusted than human gov
ernment could order them by intcllec-
tual or artificial contrivance So that
The quantity of property and that of
real money being determined automati-
cally by natural causes, certain range
of prices results under the operation of
the laws of trade. Given the quantity
of property in the world, and given the
quantity of money in circulation; their
price is automatically evolved from the
two data by force of the laws of trade;
price being essentially Il mere result
and not factor.
