His Idea of DISTANCE.

A Windham county Conn, man, who
rounded out 70 years of his life without
ever going more than 20 miles from his
birthplace, was one day answering the
questions of a distinguished western
visitor, who had come on to the old
town from far beyond the Mississippi
valley to learn of the childhood of his
father and mother, who were born in
Windham county. The old native gave
the westerner just the details the latter
was seeking.
And 1 suppose you have always lived
around here" said the man from be-
yond the Mississippi
"oh, no" replied the native, 7 was
born two miles from here. '--Philadei-

BICYCLES, WOMEN. INSURANCE.


The Wheel More Eligible to Policies than
Their Brave Riders.
The bicycle that has let down the
bars OF conventionality in attire for
women has superseded her, believe.
in eligibility to insurance. You can
insure your bicycle and collect indem-
nifty that will pay for repairs, and in
case of wreckage the wheel win be re-
placed, writes Hargot Cabeon THIS is
more than can be said for women as
far as accident insurance is concerned.
The accident insurance company looks
with disfavor upon the female appH-
cant for insurance to the extent that it
agrees to no indemnity in case of acct
dent, but pays up quite cordially to the
heirs in the case of a woman being
killed. They have their own reasons
for this. We are a nervous kind, we
women, and we are not only in greater
danger of getting under the wheels
than men, on account of our excitable,
temperaments, but they also say of us
that if we should get hurt we would
never get well, but keep the company
paying up till time immemoriaI. We
like to know in just what estimation
we are held. 1t makes a new woman
writhe and smart to happen on to facts
like this one.
However, the reputable insurance
companies, or one of them, at least, has
recently dropped the extra rate they
have always claimed from women,
thereby placing them on the same level
as the male risk. The new woman will
regard this as interesting news

BUT TO STAND BY OURSELVES.

Over two years ago the president
convened congress in extra session for
the purpose of saving the country. At
no time since has the benefits of the
extra or regular sessions of congress
saved anything, but on the other hand
has increased the depression and adj
ded velocity to the downward slide in
prices of all the staple products of this
country Since the adjournment OF
congress, Oh the 4th of March. there
has been greater activity in trade and
larger increases in the clearingS than
at any time since the panic That lack
Of confidence is the principle factor i'll
bringing about the present condition of
things, is conceded by all thinking feo-
pie This lack of confidence has only
been increased instead of decreased by
the acts of the present administration.
and a temporary respite from their I'M
tit legislation is enough to give n cheer
full aspect to the trace ana commerce
of the country. There is Il world of
idle money only waiting profitable en-
ployment, and an army of idle men
waiting TO work the money, and depict
ed stocks all over the country waiting
TO be replenished. In fact the country
is barren Of stocks and the individuals
barren of supplies, and to put affairs
in normal condition Will cause the
wheels of commerce TO hum for a long
time to come. The start will be made
just as soon as the manufacturer feels
safe in yenturing his capital IN legiti-
mate business. This country * too
rich in resources to long be kept down,
unless Il systematic effort is made by
the money power and the lawmaking
power To that end. The judgement
of the three most successful and
brightest business men in this country
is that the next five years ought TO be
the brightest in the history of the Unit
ed States, and will be unless mistakes
are made and if the people of the Unit
ed States stand for the United States
as against the world in all matters re-
lating To our trade and commerce and
monetary affairs. In other words. If
we have the good sense 10 manage our
affairs properly, we Will come out on
top and it has been fully demonstrated
that Wall Street is not all of this coun-
try, and that other interests ought not
10 be Stifllled that few may grow
rich at the expense of the many.

would imply that total stocks. includ-
ing the present visible supply. do not
now exceed 153.OOO.OOO bushels, from
which the country will have to supply
the demand for spring seeding. do
nestle food consumption and for ex-
port during the next four months. The
figures are surprisingly lOw.. and will
doubtless be discredited by beariSh
spectators, as well as widely criticised
by the staticians outside of the employ
of the government; but they are not
greatly inconsistent with the known
data of distribution and the depart
mentS reports of stocks available
year ago and the subsequent produc-
ton. The report states that the ex-
haustion of wheat stocks in North and
South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas
has been unprecedented, and some cor
respondents claim that there is not
enough wheat on hand for spring seed
ing and Necessary food supplies.
The farm stocks of corn on March i,
were reduced 10 1864, 40 bushels, or
392 per cent of the yield Of 1894. The
proportion is unusually large, although
the actual supply is exceptionally
small. To have this stock remaining
from crop Of /. 121, 10000 bushels in
dicates that consumption has been
much restricted by the high prices of
corn and by the larger use OF wheat for
animal food.
