A HINT no INVESTORS.

An English capitalist named Hooley
is doing something in England which
an American capitalist might find profit
in doing in this country. He is invest
ing largely in farming lands in Eng
land in the counties of Cambridgeshire,
Derbyshire, Norfolk, Wiltshire, Essex,
Motifs and Hunts. He has put nearly
five million dollars into farming lands
scattered throughout this region, and
he argues that it will pay him every
time as we'll as consols which average
three per cent. while he looks for an
inevitable rise in the value of land for
farming purposes. He requires certain
that he selects, these being nearness to
railroad station and a market, and
also nearness to some good manure
supply. He thinks that farming lands
in England have struck bed rock in the
decline and that there must be an adj
vance in prices, and this he argues and
illustrates from his own experience in
the business. While all the lands that
he has bought pay him a fair interest
on the investment, some of them, which
he has bought for ten pounds per acre,
he has sold already at thirty pounds
per acre. That illustrates the present
tendency to increase in price, while the
unnatural lowness of prices in the past
is shown by lands which he bought for
ten pounds per acre that were held at
sixty pounds twenty years ago. Some
of his land he has bought as low as FIVE
pounds per acre.
1t looks as If Mr.. Hooley had struck
a good idea. How farming lands can
be much cheaper than they now are in
England and this country is hard to
tell. On the principle of buying af-
ter a big decline and when others are
anxious to sell Mr. Hooley is right.
Imitators ofshim in this country might
also be right.

has discovered that the cost Of funerals
in his city is excessive and has address,
ed u vigorously worded petition to the
municipal council, calling upon 1t to
limit the extortions Of the undertakers,
or better still, to suppress the entire
trade. Mr. Plotitsen feellngly calls at
tentlon to the fact that a flrst-class
burial in Moscow costs not less than 200
rubles, whereas it Is we'll known that
the actual cost of such an accommoda-
ton does not exceed forty rubles. A
profit of 500 per cent, in his opinion, is
not only an injustice to the family of
the deceased, but to the whole city. If
the Moscow undertakers earn on an
average 100000 rubles per annum, how
much better would 1t be, he asks, were
the large sum to go to the municipal
ity? In word, Mr.. Plotitsen is in ia
vor of the municipal councils taking
over the undertaking business to itself.
1t has been suggested that the income
derived from the business might APP
propriately be used in erecting monu-
ments symbolizing the character of the
departed.

CuRSRTS IN KANSAS.

What Is kept out of the messages of
governors is frequently as interesting
and important as that which goes in
A woman. living In Melvern county,
Kansas, wrote to Governor Leedy of
that State and "implored" him to rec
ommend "the passage of law to pro-
use of corsets in Kansas" This adj
vanced woman stated that "corsets,
like cigarettes, are injurious and that
the only way to suppress them is by
legislative enactment" But the COVER
nor, being in doubt as to what should
be done in this matter, consulted his
stenographers, who decided for him
that this was not proper material to
go into the message"
These stenographers and the COVER
nor have made mistake. The mes
sage of the governor of Kansas would
have been more interesting and inn
portant than it is if it had contained a
strong paragraph about the wearing of
eorsets, and especially the wearing of
them by Mrs. Lease and other women
reformers of Kansas. Kansas is usual
ly very hospitable to all kinds of
notions, and it is quite possible that an
| anti-corset movement would sweep the
State in the same way that many other
| movements have swept it. It is a pity
that such movement did not receive
| gubernatorial Endorsement and impetus.
Kansas without corsets, rum, or east
ern money would be all right.
