Difficult to Answer.

The most ingeEiOus and talented free
trader will have trouble to answer the
convincing argument which Congress.
man Stone made last week before the
Changers at Williams Grove, Pa.
No one, for example, can cOntrOvert
the assertion made by Mr.. Stone that
the decade between 1880 and 1890 was
most prosperous in our history.
The population increased at a re-
markable rate, but the increase in the
aggregate of wages was double the in
crease in population.
The increase in the assessed valuation
of property was also large; but it was
not equal to the percentage increase of
deposits in the savings banks.
Equally calm, and perhaps still more
logical, was his description of the
change, although no war, famine or
destruction of property had operated
to cause change.
We cannot believe, either, that there
is any satisfactory answer to his insis-
tence that it is national error to
import $500, 100000 or 100000, 600
worth of goods which could be manu-
factured here with good wages to labor
and fair return to capital. The farmer
does not purchase what be can raise
upon his own land nor the mechanic
buy for his own house what he can
make with his own hands, and nations
are after all, only aggregatiOns of indi-
viduals acting largely upon principles
which prompt or govern the latter.

Concerning Buckles.
POPULAR FLANCIEs WHICH ARE
ADOPTED BY BOTH sexes.

The world has gone daft on the sub
Ject of buckles. 1t would be no great
surprise if knee buckles were to be re-
vived: Indeed, the bicycle rider has
already begun to ornament his suit
with small buckles and it will not take
long for the fad to become popular if
some one in high circles gives it a little
impetus.
Silver belt buckles are amazingly
popular with sexes, and all possible
variations are being devised by silver
fanciers. The girl with the fetching
shirt waist and well hanging shirt is
not quite au fait without white can
vas belts with buckle of recent design.
Extravagant girls wear them on the
belts of their bathing suits, notwith-
standing the fact that salt water
furnishes the silver in on dipping.
The young man who lives in tennis
shirt, and dislikes to have the contour
of his well-developed chest broken bv
suspenders, wears belt which glories
in a beautiful buckle, and bitches up
the unruly trousers with a muir
mur.
Another feminine fad which the
young gentlemen have adopted is the
silver buckle for the band of straw
hat. A young man recently showed
me his palmetto with an o pen work
buckle which he said be had made to
order. Then, turning the hat upside
down, he showed me a long silver pin
with his name engraved upon its fiat
surface; this was pinned to the sweat
band.
However, the young men do not
mOnopOlize this fashiOn-that is some
thing which they are powerless to do
in matters of dress. And though silver
is preferred, many buckles are made of
pearl and steel, especially when used
in trimming.

Extraordinary.

Cutting a crop of clover for hay the
last week in August and first week in
September, grown from seed sown dur
ing the middle of last March, is one
event the writer in his long experience
in farming has no recollection of ever
having done before on Meadow Lawn
farm, or elsewhere. And yet such is
being done at this time. A crop of
good clover hay long staple, thoroughly
and well cured, about ton to the acre
equal to the quantity usually cut from
many fields after being seeded a whole
year and being housed in good con :
dtion. 1t is unlike the seeded growth
of clover which is usually sOwn for the
seed, but is very similar and seems to
possess the same conditions and nu-
tricious quality as that Cutin the month
of June. r. H. G.

While in Chicago, Mr.. Charles l..
Kahler, a prominent shoe merchant of
Des Moines, Iowa, had quite serious
time of it. He took such severe cold
that he could hardly talk or navigate,
but the prompt use of Chamberlain g
Cough Remedy cured him of his cold
so quickly that others at the hotel who
had bad colds followed his example
and a half dozen persons ordered 1t
from the nearest drug store. They
were profuse in their thanks to Mr..
Kahler for telling them how to cure
bad cold so quickly. For sale by J. w.

SUGGESTED PLOT AGAINST FLIES
One thing is a common remark this sea-
son among butchers and housewives,
says the Morning NelCs. and that is
that the American fly is fast dying out.
Several things have cOnspired to bring
about the result In the first place the
screen door and window have done
much to kill off the nuisance. 1t is a
common thing even in the parts of
towns inhabited by people with small
incomes to see every door fitted with
the screens. This is hard on flies and
they are compelled to stay out and be
killed by sun-stroke or exposure to
the night air.

One by One.

The maple does not shed its leaves
In one tempestuOus scarlet rain.
But softly, when the south wind grieves.
Slow, wandering over wood and plain.
One by one they waver through
The Indian summers haZy blue
And drop at last on the forest mould.
Coral and ruby and burning gold.
Our death is gradual like these;
We die with every waning day:
There is no wait of sorrows breeze
But bears some heartbeat slow aWayi
Up and on the vast To Be,
Our life is going eternally!
Less of life than we had last year
Throbs in your veins, and throbs in mine.
But the way to heaven is growing clear,
And the gates of the city fairer shine.
And the day that our latest treasures flee
Wide they will open for you and me.
