FARM MORTGAGES,
FACTS OVERLOOKED BY TIVE
DEMOCRATIC ROMANCERS.
Census Figures Knock Some Holes in
the Statements Of "Reforme rs,,-Rc-

False Statements Refuted.

Free-traders have particular lean
Ing toward making false statements
which are not susceptible of absolute
refutation until weeks, months, and Of
ten years afterward, by which time the
statements will in all probability have
been dropped by the free trade papers
and orators. Western farm mortgages
have formed fayorite subject for
them, and before the publication Of the
census figures on Indebtedness, they
kept repeating their wild assertions
with such vchemence and persistency
that some farmers were inclined to he
lieve them. Here is sample from the
Louisville Times, published in the fail
of 1889:
Bankers know more about money
and debts than any other class of men
in the country, and the Bankers
Monthly is authority is authority for
the statement that the farm mortgages
of Kansas amount to $235, 900 900; of
Indiana, 100000; of Iowa. TO
$567 900 900; of Michigan. to S5o6, 6,0oO,-
0o0;of Wisconsin, to S357 100000. Upon
this immense debt the farmers are
charged exorbitant interest, besides
paying most of the State taxes, and con-
tributing, greatly in excess of their just
share, to the tariff taxes levied by the
federal government. Is it not
strange that the grangers Of the West
continue to support a party and sustain
a policy that have heaped these bur
dens on them"
Since then the census figures have
been issued. They show that the total
mortgage Indebtedness of the above
States amounted to only $3.50, ,9i2,5os
In 1890, and that of this amount $243.-
943,3S6 was on lots in cities and towns,
and had nothing to do with the farm

For Thin Neck.

The most effective way of hiding a
thin neck Is not only to have an orna-
mental band Of some kind round the
throat, but festoons of beads or pearls
or diamonds falling over the collar
bone. 1t is easy to get these and it is
rot difficult to arrange them. always
provided that you can obtain the bars,
which ought to keep the festoons In
place. These necklaces vary from
three to six rows. Some new bands for
the neck take the form of straight
piece of tulle. black or white, gathered
to the depth Of about two inches, and
caught down at intervals by bars OF
diamonds or jet. These are singularly
soft and becoming.

To Reduce Flesh.

An authority on foods prescribes for
those women who take little exercise
and accumulate flesh rapidly green
vegetables growing above the ground,
like peas, spinach, and asparagus, and
plain green salads, unmixed with poul-
try, meat, or fish, such as lettuce, celery
and crosses, with French dressing.
Very little starchy food and white
meats should be eaten, as chicken,
lamb, or mutton, but there should be
consumed a great deal of fruit, toast,
and whole wheat bread. Avoid sweets,
1t is further advised, and use few
stimulants, the best being Sauterne
aad Rhine wine in moderation. For
brain workers the same authority ad.
vised red meats, particularly beef, with
starchy foods taken In the form OF ric,
and whole wheat bread, all green veg
etables that grow above the ground.

dressing. containing plenty OF oil,

he will henceforth leave Navarro severely
alone and expects the Italian maestro to do
the same by him. To all intents and pur-
poses, therefore, the Ansot-Navarra incl.
dent has passed, and the threatened inter-
national complication between France and
Italy will not cOmplicate any more, so far
as the duel is concerned. But at an early
opportunity Ansot will have to answer 10
V. Mont, president of the Masaniello
Parish Club, for saying that Mont learned
his fencing by rooming with a Frenchmap.
"In the first place / never taught fencing
for living" said Mr.. Mont, yesterday,
''and in the second l don't want TO learn
the French style as exemplifrd by from
Chef and Ansoi. The Italian school is good
enough for me-"
Mnnti visited the California Fencers'
Club on the invitation of Signor Bellani,
but there was no blood shed as it was sup
posed might have been under the circum-
stances.
Professor Ansot was distant, very dis
tant. President Mont was very dignIfied,
and none of the visitors would have sup
posed that the two were at heart opposed
TO each other.
Professor Navarro has made no replv to
Ironcnets ccallenge Tor matcn at $500
side. Tronchet deposited $40. for three
days. but as he received no answer within
that time il is too late now for the Italian
to reply.
When spoken to yesterday Tronchet
said his challenge was no longer open, and
so far as he was concerned the matter was
ended. He smiled when the names OF
Ansot and Navarro were mentioned, as If
the chances of duel amused him greatly.
Navarra's letter as published will be his
last literary effort. Il have nothing more
to say or do" he said. 81 have challeng ed
Ansot; he refused my challenge. / called
him a coward. and he has shown no dis
position to wipe out the epithet. / can do
no more. l shall not answer for what
may happen, however. If he comes in
my way. l shall then wipe him out
probably" The maestro illustrated
the wiping-out process by mighty sweep
of his good right arm, and had his adver-
sary been within reach of 1t at that time
the elimination of him from the next CEN
sus would certainly have occurred on he
spot. AS AnsoI has expressed his inten-
ton of throwing foils to the dogs and
