IN THE YEAR 100000.
The Last Man on Earth VIVA BE Smalie
Than Fly.

The Last Man on Earth Wili BE Smaller
Than IA Fly.
The surface of the earth is slowly but
surely diminishing, says the scientists.
All the landed portion will be sub
merged and the last man will be
drowned.
The ice is gradually accommodating at
the north pole and slowly melting away
at the south. Eventually the earth's
center of gravity will suddenly change,
and the last man will be crushed by the
rush of movables that will quickly
glide over its surface.
There is a rctarding medium in space
causing n gradual loss in velocity in all
of the planets. The earth, when her
revolutions finally cease will be drawn
nearer and nearer TO the sun until the
last man will be literally roasted off the
face of the earth
Beginning with the year 5000 A. d..
humanity will commence TO retrograde,
and by the end of the year / 900. 900 man
will be no larger and have no more in
telligcnce than a plant louise. In that
event there win he no last man" re-
marks the st. Louis Republic.
The suns fires will gradually burn
ont and the temperature cool; in conse-
Quence the 'earths glacial zones will
enlarge. driving shivering humanity
toward the equator. At last the habi t.
able space will lessen 10 nothing and
overcrowded humanity will be frozen
in a heap

That Yarn of Meelxer.s.

Hon. Claude Meeker, United States
consul at Bradford, England, is said to
have sent "A report To the state depart
ment showing that exports of Ameri-
can manufactured woolens have been
made to Bradford, and are being sold
in that market which is the center of
the English wooden trade. We have
applied to the state department for
copy of this report, but at the present
writing il has not been forwarded to
US We have, however, received from
the bureau of statistics of the treasury
department statement showing in
detail the exports of wooden manufac-
turers to Great Britain during the tis-
cal year ending June 80, 1894, also dur
ing the subsequent six months ending
December 81, 1894.
During full year we shipped 10 the
United Kingdom wooden goods worth
$3.50, 30l, including S232, PIG of carpets,
leaving S5l. 900 a. the value of flannels,
blankets. wearing apparel and all
other WOODEN manufactures. During
the subsequent six months, no To the
close of 1894, our total exports of
woolens amounted To Sl02,4lS, includ-
ing So, 900 of carpets. leaving $50, 200
as the value Of all other wooden manu-
features, or at the rate of 100000 a
year an amount that must be very Sc
riously felt, indeed, by the wooden
manufacturers of the United Kingdom.
II is interesting tn note that during
the last half of 1894 our exports of car
pets were only at the rate Of $4,000
year, which was SIPS, 200 less than in
the fiscal year immediately preceding
the enactment of the German tariff.
This point we commend TO the atten-
ton Of the kidderminSter carpet
manufacturers who are now in such
urgent need Of protection from the
cheap labor competition in their own
country.

What do you do with kleptomani-

the proprietor of a large shop.
1--WE send them bills for what they
take when we know them. If they are
strangers, we act according TO circum-
stances.
"A few days ago lady was in the
shop with her daughter-a beautiful
little girl of twelve years.
THE girl was seen slipping roll
of costly ribbon into her satchel. We
spoke to the mother, who became in
dignant.
"She opened the satchel TO convince
us that we were mistaken, when ii was
found to contain three lace handker-
chiefs, two pairs of gloves and the rib
bon.
wv ell, we took the things back and
said nothing. We can't afford TO In
jure our trade by making enemies
among our rich customers"
You were speaking of sending out
bills for stolen goods" asked a writer
for the Boston Globe; ARE they ever
paid?"
Always, where the person is lSlep-

which kept a regular list of kleptomani-
acs. Whenever they lost anything they
sent bills 70 all of them. AS they all
settled for the stolen goods, you can

rumor of discomfort was going up in
every agricultural county on account
OF railway rates To this the Pail

Lord Darlington may proclaim, and
even think himself free trader but
him if he is dissatisfied with the high
freight rates charged by British rail
ways. These high rates are charged
that invested capital may have larger
gains. They are against the interests
of farmers, manufacturers and work
men They are destroying the pros
perity Of England. They are higher
than in any other manufacturing
country, as our freight rates are lower
than anywhere else in the world.
II will be noticed that we. the in
carnation of the protectionist idea for
thirty years, have the lowest freight
rates: that England, the great apostle
OF free trade for fifty years, has the
highest and the freight rates of the
various manufacturing countries are
a fair measure of their adhesion to
the teachings of Golden.
