The present age is chiefly characterized
by speed. In that respect 1t incompara-

OF the past, which are the models of to-
day. the admiration and the despair or
the people, are amp,e proof of it, on
the Hao.e. the word may be improveing
It's progress, however, Is not wholly gain.
In welnlgh every change there is some
loss as wei as profit. though the balance
may be TO the good. But whatever has
been lost, has been unquestionab.y gain
ed az around In speed. In every respect
this Is rapid age. Educational and in
tehectual processes are spurred to pace

rich as never before. In travel that
steamer Is the favorlte which has made
the fastest run across the Atlantic, and
that railroad which runs the fastest

THE TROUT BROOK.

Half hidden by tall meadow grass t1at
sways with every breeze,
And running through deep, silent pools
and under spreading trees;
Now stealing through the quiet ways OF
solitary wood,
And now beneath a tmDered arch where
once an o,d mill stood;
Across the fields and to the brow where
valleys fall away,
Then over beds of shelving rock its
waters dance and play,
And now and then, as though in joy OF
such delightful fun,
1t springs into a waterfall that gllstens
in the sun,
And eddies round and round about, in
strange, fantastic giee,
Then steadies down and flows away Sc
dately to the sea.

THE BOTTOM CAUSE.

Just in time to explain the outgo OF
gold, the official statement comes that
the merchandise imports in August ex-
ceeded exports by $751; 100, against an
excess of exports in August, 1894, OF
50. .079,O75. difference of over $4,000, 900
in a single month more than explains
the disturbance which threatens again
to increase the bonded debt. The next
exports of god lin August were St5, ,159, ,7S2,
a little less than the difference in mer-
chandise values as officially recorded.
But the differentiation of imports ana
interest due abroad so swell the amount
to be paid that several millions must
have remained to be liquidated in Sep
tember, even after the net exports OF
50. 49,, ,S72 in silver is Included And there
stiM remains the considerable amount
due for government bonds and other Sc
curitles returned from Europe. It is
probably safe to say that, of the foreign
Indebtedness incurred by purchase of
goods and in all other ways in August,
less than half was llquldated, and over
SIS 100000 remained to caN for further
gold exports.
OF the nature of the increase in imports
the latest information is given in the de-
tailed statement for July, just published.
A month ago 1t was shown from the
statement for June that imports of coffee,
tea. wines, precious stones, cocoa and ci-
gars, articles which are tests of the con-
suming ability of the people had been
smaller under the new tariff than in the
same months of 1922, by about N per
cent. Including july, the imports of
these articles for eleven months were
$l16,9n, ,9O7 against $lOS,Ol6,3l6 last year,
and S161, 1852 97 in 1S91-'92-a decrease of
76 per cent. Yet the ability Of the peo-
pie to consume luXuries and comforts
thus diminished, it appears that imports
OF products which most directly compete
with and threaten American Industries
were increased almost quarter in de-
cared or invoice1 value, and owing to
underva,uations under the new ad va
loren duties much more largely in actual
value: As before, imports of woolen goods
are included for The period since new du-
ties went into effect, in this case seven
months, and imports Of other articles are
includedSfor e,even months since August,

Some persons insist that the fact must
not be mentioned that such Imports are
nearly twice as great as last year, be-
cause improving business explains that"
although the increase in articles of lux
ury and comfort compared with last year
is only about s per cent, Very well;
compare with 1899 only, the last year OF
full business, and the increase in these
products is 2i.3 per cent though "near.y
"a per cent" a month ago, and though
the decrease In articles OF consumption
which test general prosperity Is 2I6 per
cent. Imports of gloves, earthenware
and cottons have especially increased,
Notwithstanding the claim that such in
dustries especially the cotton manufac-
ture have abundant protection under the
row tariff In cottons of all kinds the
increase is over 20 per cent, though in
silks 1t is mach less, and also in other
textile fabrics, part of which have been
made free of duty.
Wool waste which Is party manufac-
tured wool in form for use, is included
with wool, and the excess of imports COM
pared with 1892 Is $ll ,267, ,254, or about GU
per cent. The removal of duties has
taken away temptation to underva.ue.
But In woo,en goods, though the apparent
increase for seven months compared with
the same months Of 1892 has been about
52.2 per cent, the undervaluatlons have
been so great under the new al valorem
duties that 70 per cent would probably
be below the increase in actual value of
goods imported. The following gives
quantities of the leading articles i'm
ported in seven months each year, dress
goods being reckoned this year at only
40 yards to the pound:

Girl and Boy PupIla In neston.

The fact that the number of boys in the public schools of Boston exceeds that of the girls by nearly 2,0o0 is ec- casioning considerable comment in out side newspapers, and explanations are called for. It is probably due more par ticularly to the fact that the numerous private schools here are more extensively patronized by the girls than by the boys. A great many well to do parents prefer to send their boys to the public schools for the development of their manhood as well as of their intellects, at the same time preferring the private schools for teaching the polite accom- plishments to their girls. Taking the public and private schools together, there are probably more girls than boys to be found ill the total number of pu- pils in Boston. Boston Herald

A Battalion or One t3undred New 8ork
 Boys Will Try to Stop Its Dealement.
 An interesting experiment is about to be tried on the east side, when a brigade of boys of the neighborhood will take under it's protection the fountain re- gently built in Rutgers square, at the intersection of East Broadway and Ga nal street, by Jacob Schiff and present. ed to the city,
 When the water was turned on, about two weeks ago, the authorities freely predicted that the fountain would quick ly be plugged up with banana peels, waste paper and other refuse deposited therein by the gamins of the neighbor hood. These forebodings were quickly verified. The combined efforts of two policemen did not suffice to keep that unlucky fountain i'll running order
 Upon the suggestion of the Misses Wald and Brewster of the Nurses set clement, i'll Henry street, it was decided to organize the boys of the neighbor- hood into a sort of watchman's league for the purpose of preserving order at the Rutgers square fountain. The boys fell in with the suggestion quite readily, and meeting was held at the Hebrew institute. upon the invitation of Super intendent Speetorsly, at which repre- sentatives of the City Vigilance league and the Good Government clubs were present.
 The result of this meeting was tho formation of the Fountain league, with a. membership of 100 boys oyer 12 years old, and the following officers Presi- dent, Joseph Goldstein; vice president, Morris Frankel; clerk, $. Joseph; treas urer, David Widrowitz; sergeant-at- arms, E. Frank; assistant sergeant at arms, Jacob Wisansky.
 President Roosevelt of the police commission has promised to do all that he can to aid the boys, and Colonel Waring Of the street cleaning depart ment has furnished them with two steels. wherein to deposit the dead cuts, old rags, banana and orange peels and other flotsam and jetsam that has ill the past mysteriously found is way into the recesses of the Rutgers square foun- tain. All the members of the league have pledged themselves to keep both fountain and square clean, which, ac- cording to Colonel Warnings men, is a formidable undertaking.
 The members of the league will wear badges, and it is proposed that some of them shall remain on duty morning, noon and night to see that the fountain is not defiled. The leaguers are also talking of organizing themselves into a uniformed cadet corps, and the outcome of the experiment. Is watched with much interest by the residents of the lower east side.-New York Times

Cause of an Outbreak of Typhoid Fever
 Near Chicagn.

Near Chicago.
 Negligence on the part of an employee i'll the water department, 1t is said Is responsible for q spread of typhoid fever in and around Pullman. Thirty or forty cases have been called to the attention of the health department, and careful investigation brings to light a startling state of affairs. About four weeks ago last Sunday valve ill the pumping sta tion at Hyde Park blew out, and it be- came necessary to shut off the water supply in the West Pullman district. The people were directed to draw such an amount of water as they would need to tide them over until Monday morn ing, which they did.
 Sunday, when the faucets were tried, it was found that water continued to flow, and it was generally thought that the break had been repaired during the night without necessitating the holding of the supply during Sunday or until Monday morning. h consequence of the belief residents of that district used the water for drinking, as well as for ordi= nary purposes.
 Two weeks later evidence of typhoid fever appeared, it taking exactly II days for the germ of the typhoid to ma ture. This is accounted for now by the health department officials by the fact that, us the lake water was shut off ill the residences of the affected locality, Lake Calumet water was turned into the pipes for protection from fire causes. This was done, it is now asserted, with out any notification being given the peo- pie who were to use the water. The wa ter from Lake Calumetis generally cred ited with being infected to great ex- tent with typhoid, and herein lies the cause of the West Pullman epidemic, according to the opinion of the phy sicians of the health department Chi cago Chronicle

Connecticut Leads In Patents.

This is an inventive age. During the year of 1894 thesnnmber of patents is sued was 20,S05. The down east man Is still ahead ill calculating contrivances, for, in proportion to population, more patents were granted to Connecticut than to any other state ill the Union. Massachusetts came second, Rhode ls- land third. Then followed New Jersey. Montana, New York and Colorado. The other states appear to have had fewer wheels within their heads, or perhaps they only lacked the Yankee skill to run them into the patent office. = Wash ington Post.x
