Says Colman's Rural World: "Thc
independent farmer should be the most
cheerful man in the country during a
general financial crash. BY indcpen-
dent farmer we mean he who owns a
quarter section of land unencumbcrel
by mortgage. He may snap his fingers
ut failing banks, Mt silent mills and
manufactures, Mt merchants without
customers, at the world at large; and
gathering his family about him he m "
proudly realize that on no one is he
dependent, and that so far rs their
limited means will allow thu people o.;

tho farmer who is free from debt tbs
ebb aud flow of finance is matter OF
small consequence. He has no sleep
less nights i'll vain endeavor to for
mnlate plan by which he can raise
the mortgage from the home. VIVA;

Hook-Swinglng in India.

The suppression of 'hook- swinging"
in Madras lately did not seem reason
able or necessary to all thinking
Britons. But, Mt least, we took it for
granted that the exercise was painful.
Here is n witness, however, RESPONSE
BILE person, doubtless, since the
Pioneer accepts his testimony---who
declares that the business is humbug
from end to end. French common
sense has not yet forbidden hook
swinging, and this correspondent has
been observing the process ut leisure in
Parana Balasore. He finds that
swingers are brought up to the pro-
fession rs to any other means of earn
ing livelihood. Thoughtful parents
give them n start in youth by piercing
hole or tunnel beneath the great
muscles of the back, just MS n good
European mother pierces her little
daughters ears. And the passage is
kept open in the same way, by wearJ
ing ring in it. Provided thus with
means to edify the public at the short.
est notice, and without Inconvenience,
q swinger goes round in search of EN- i.
ployment. The hooks arc passed
through these holes, and they cause no
pain whatever; as for the swinging,
doubtless that is practised like any
other exercise of the muscles. WI
may ask, has it always been so? Wer ,
those gruesome tales of blood an
bowling which distressed orr youth
professedly. told by eye-w;tnasses, q
hysteric delusion or falsehood? Or
it that in this age OF decaying F,i

LATEST LONDON QUOTATIONS..
SATURDAY. Aug, 8.


A series OF extraordinary occurrences will
make this week a memorable one In the COM
mercial and financial history Of the country.
And 1t is possible that time may prove 1t
to have been even more important
period than now appears: for Indications are
not wanting that turning point In business
affairs has been reached. The fact that wheat
sold this week at tho lowest price ever known
is OF itself a noteworthy occurrence. and ad-
dItional interest is impaired to the event by
the unusually heavy export movement Of
that cereal and tho certainty OF an
enormous demand for IL from abroad. OF
course. tho depression In the grain market
was due in part to heavy liquidation by specu-
lative holders. but other causes. far reaching
In thcis character. have contributed to the alb
normally low price for one OF tho principal
products OF tho country.
It is believed that those whose wealth 10
largely measured in that product are begin
ming to understand the nature OF the causes
referred to. and will. therefore. use their
influence to help bring about much-needed
reform In the monetary system OF tho
United States. Tho liquidation OF the Wild
speculation In grain and provisions ut Chicago
has been only an incident in the destruction
and contraction OF credits from one end
OF tho country TO the other. The
