WE are sometimes met with the
answer. ''overproduction' as the cause
of the falling price of wheat and cot
ton since 1880. We have taken pains
to compare statistics taken from the
World Almanac, and here it is: In
1880 the United States produced 49,
100000 bushels of wheat In 1890
99.000,000 bushels. But some one
will say 1880 was bad crop year. "
Well, we will take 1889. and there
was 490.000,0O0 bushels. In 1880 the
United States produced 5000, 900 bales
of cotton. In 1890 100000 bales
Now here is an increase of 1000, 900
bales. Let US look at the worlds con-
sumption of cotton in this time. In
1880 the world consumed about 8 .000,-
900 bales. In 1890 it was 1000, 900
bales. Now here we are met with
difference of about 100000 bales of
worlds consumption as against 2,000.-
900 bales of increase of production in
the United States. Anyone can see
that the overproduction theory does
not work. When we take into account
the great increase of our population,
the comparison is still more marked.

THE management of the world
fair is having hard time to persuade
people to give their dollars in exchange
for the souvenir halves. Their lat
est project is to build of the coins a
immature of the United States treas
ury at Washington. It is feet high,
9 wide and about 16 feet long, and
made entirely of souvenir coins. 1t is
inclosed by a heavy wire screen and
we'll guarded, and some attractive girl
clerks sit in the booths about it and
sell the coins. 1t is thought that this
scheme will dispose of all the souve-
Mrs before the fair is over.

A LITTLE thought will show how
vastly your own happiness depends on
the way other people bear themselves
toward you. The looks and tones at
your breakfast table, the conduct of
your fellow workers or employees, the
faithful or unreliable men you deal
with, what people say to you on the
street, the way our cook and house
maid do their work. the letters you
get, the friends or foes you meet
these things make up very much of
the pleasure or misery of the day.
Turn the idea around, and remember
that just so much are you adding 30
the pleasure or misery of other peo-
pies days. And this is the half of the
matter you can control. Whether any
particular day shall bring to you more
of happiness or of suffering is largely
beyond your power to determine.
Whether each day of your life shall
give happiness or suffering rests with
Yourself.

In view of the present financial de-
preston and the many failures of
banks and business houses; we would
refer the people to the doctrine an
nounced by the Republican press and
party of Kansas in answer to what
they were pleased to call the calamity
howl about Indebtedness, viz: ''Our
debts stand for our investments and
not for our losses. They represent our
enterprise and not our misfortune; our
property and not our poverty" But
of this saying of G. 0. p, political pres
todigisators is false, may we not con-
clude that their other sayings are false
likewise. Beware of the leaven of
the Pharisees and Sadisees, which is
hyposgaey. >.

Eighty-fve teachers entered

in Lockport, recently. Their partici-
patton in the contest was compulsory,
although prize, a dictionary, was
given to the winner. OF the entire
eighty-hve only five spelled "Rensse-
laer" correctly. acknowledgment
was misspelled by sixty-three, or
about seventy-four per cent of the en-
tire number Of contestants. "Super-
sede"was misspelled by ffty-eight con
tcstants; "resuscitaten by fifty-four;
"exccllenco" by fifty-six; benefited
by ffty-eight; "business" by fifty;
''medal" and maintenance" by forty
five each; 'millinern by forty-eight;
"pretentiousn and ''gaseous" each by
forty-threc, and "concede" by forty
nine. That is, each of these words
was missed by over one-half the con-
tcstants. In the local columns we
enter more fully into detail as to the
other words misspelled by large
percentage, but the instances noted
above will be sufficient for our pur-
pose and show the general character
of the words propounded and mis-
spelled, says the Lockport Sun.
Now, when so large proportion of
teachers misspcll SO heavy percent

In Rensselaer, county, for instance,

not spell the name of their own coun-
