Well, the first heard about 'cm
Was through some boartrrs we had.

We've lived on tie farm for thirty odd year
And been mddliu healthy, too;
We've raised .,ht good, smart children
Which RS we'll as most of folks do.
But last summer We took some professors.
And they made my blood run cold.
For ghosts and goblins warnt nowhere
Compared to the yarns they told
About microbes that swim in the water
And fly on wings through the air,
That have feet to walk about with
And can stick to your skin md hair.
They pecket over the edge OF the we'll curb
To SOC if the bucket was clean,
And analy zed the pertaters
TO find tho paris green
That put on the tops in early spring.
Afore the pertaters was growetl;
Then how they thought it could lit inside
Was more than ever knowcd.
They wanted oui ,orncat kept TO homo.
Because one Of 'eEi'd heard OF II case
Who're a car brought home a disease In It's fur
Though there warnt ono to ketc.4 in the

They went up into the pastcr,
To bee if the cows eat weeds
For if they did the milk We used
Would DO full of collie sccds.
They peck"i In the sullcr and aired the barn.

of the American market to Europe is cor
respondingly reduced. The fact OF goods
being cheap does pot provide the where

imports of non -du table goods were within

imports of dutiable goods fell OF 30 per
cent. We bought very nearly as much
sugar, tea and coffee as when times were
flush. But we cut down imports OF manu-
factured goods. which people buy or not
as their means suggest The fact that
such goods were cheap did not induce peo-
pie to buy them. Reduced duties on i'm
ports mean reduced wages TO American

ENGLAND'S RENT ROLL.

A writer in the June Forum estimates
the aggregate of rent English farmers pay
at $500, 100000 year. Rents on city prop
etty amount to about $500, ,000,0 900 more.
The saving clause in these rent accounts is
that they are due to EnglishmeD. But
little of the money goes out of the country
except to meet the ordinary expenses of
travelling Englishmen. Foreign money
does not find much OF a field for Invest
ment il England. 1t is estimated that
American securities are held abroad to the
amount of $1,000, 0O0 900. The annual inter-
est on this sum of per cent is 500, 900, 900.
This is One-third of The amount English
farmers have to pay to English land
owners. 1t goes out of the country
whether the securities in which the
foreign capital is invested 9re at the time
productive or not 1t has to be paid in gold,
and this fact is made an argument why the
gold standard should be maintained in
this country. If the industrial enterprises
in which this foreign money is invested
should have to buy gold to pay interest
with the burden would be felt more
severely than it is now. In most cases
foreigners have been wise enough to pre-
fer b. nds with fixed interest to stocks
which pay dividends according to TIE
profits of the business.

THE WAR IN THE EAST.

Japan had her innings in the recent sea
fight, and now China takes her turn at the
bat and hits her opponent hard on land.
The repulse of the japanese at Yashan
seems to have been an engagement OF
some Importance. costing the lives OF 2OOO
of the assailants. Seoul has been almost
denuded of japanese troops for the opera
tions against Yashan. Another report Is
than 10000 Manchurian troops have
crossed the Korean border and are march
ing on Seoul.
1t has been somewhat hastily concluded
by some observers of this Asiatic conflict
that it must be essentially naval war,
and that consequently the advantage will
be with Japan. It is evident from what
has thus far occurred that the Japanese
handle their ships better than the Chinese
Most of the naval vessels OF both cOun-
tries bave been built in Europe. Now
that war has broken out foreign Ountries
will probably observe the rule laid down
in the Alabama case prohibiting the fitting
out of ships of war in neutral ports for
belligerent servics. That will throw
both parties to the war on their own re-
sources in that respect. Both of them
have facilities for modern shipbuilding.
and have turned out some excellent craft
from their own dockyards. But the Chi
nese haveye to learn TO fight their ships.
But land operations must also be taken
into consideration. The Chinese army of
Manchuria is said to be about 10000 strong.
composed of good fighting material and
provided with modern weapons. 1t is
mostly stationed within striking distance
of the Korean frontier. 1t is probably
part of this army that is reported to be
marching on Seoul Furthermore, from
the present terminus of the railroad in
Northern China to the Korean boundary is
a no longer march than from san Fran
cisco to Bakersfield, and this through
more populous country whence supplies
may be drawn. A movement from this
railroad terminus to Seoul, the capital of
Korea, would be about equal TO march
from San Francisco to San Bernardino.
1t is therefore evident that China can carry
on a war by land if she finds it necessary.
With her great resources in population,
wealth. ETC., it is not so apparent that
Japan has the whip hand in struggle for
Korea. although she may make things
very lively for her big antagonist.
