 Every unmarried man is considered 6 boy in Corea, though he should live to be 100. This Is reasonable. A man who is unmarried can feel young where one who Is married can't.
 It has long bssn said that every man has his price, but occasionally something happens which indicates that there may be men who at least are not for sale cheap. An offer of s30, 900 year will not induce General Dsbney H. Msury of Virginia to lend his name to the directory of lottery company.
 The latest device to help cut down the trotting record is a one-wheelsd sulky. It Is practically a bicycle wheel with the fork bent forward, prolonged and split in two, thus furnishing place for the seat and places for attachment for the shafts. It Is thought that the reduction in friction will be enough to cut of another small tlice from the record.
 A society organ which professes to keep track of the prominent families of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Chicago, finds that the number who have gone to Europe this summer is only 55 per cent. of what 1t was at this time a year ago. There Is also an increase of 30 per cent. in the return arrivals from Europe. It also shows that 367 promi- nent families are summering abroad. Two thousand three hundred and forty eight are residing inland, and 2,162 are at the sesshore.
 It seems little queer to read that there is sharp contest in Toronto over a propo- sition to allow street cars to run on Sun day.

Since his death it has gone into the hands of his heirs, and the board of ss- sessors has placed its value at the sum of $1O, ,0O0, 900. The heirs object to this as sessment upon the ground that 1t Is ex- csseive, and make the extraordinary plea that they should pay nothing, since the property was not In their possession at the time the assessment was made. Probably they are not going to keep 1t.
 The cheering report comes from Eng lands annual agricultural show that Amer ican implements are preferred over those of any other country. The binders and reapers made In this country are superior in every way. Hay rakes are heater, lighter and cheaper. The blows have bet ter iron and turn the furrow in e much more satisfactory way. Wooden-besmed blows cannot be disposed of in some lccAl- itiss, though F, 900 of a South Bend, In- diana, make are sold annually. The Eng fish try to initiate our workmanship with poor results With a little more attention to the local needs, there would also be great demand for American farm wagons and carts there, but they must all have the "under-cut," go that they can turn readily
