The fundamental bottom of all de-
preston, except that due to the state of
lie weather is what might be con-
sidered an unwilling willingness on the
part of business men in general to as
SIIble that the times are bad, and to
continue to talk bad times, says Hard
ware. The first man tells the second
man that times are bad, and the second
man. although enjoying good business,
is given the incentive to watch for bad
business, and that which a man ex-
poets he frequently receives, or I'm
| agines he does, which commercially is
the same thing. The second man, who
was not thinking of bad times, begins
to stimulate bad times, because some
one told linn to, and the bad he has
received he hands to the next, and
down the line it goes, a breathing,
speaking epidemic, destroying the suf-
ferer, and carrying the disease to his
neighbor.
Health, which advice, the people as to

grape and the rankest ingratitude to
fiim who made them so easy of cul-
ture, so delicious and palatable, and so
nutritious and healthful"
One of the features of the flag cele-
bration at Monterey, Cal, the other
day was the formation of a United
States flag by arranging 200 girls in
appropriate costume. The red and
white stripes of the living flag were
made of gowns of those colors. The
blue field was similarly secured, and
the white stars were placed on top
of immense fat-topped hats, which the
girls wore. When the 200 girls lifted
their voices to sing ''The Star-Srangled
Banner" the applause awokc the
echoes of the hills surrounding Mon
terey and drowned the music for sew
eral minutes.

more than passing recognition. In his
