Better Known In England.

1t is said that the late Daniel Green
leaf Thompson of this city had his
books published in England not from
any lack of patriotism, but because the
serious works that he produced found a
much better market in England. Like
General Walker, he was much better
known as an author in England than he
was i'll hisow country. He belonged
to the individualist school, and it is
perhaps Il curious fact that, while
Americans are instinctively rs individ-
ualistic rs any people i'll the world,
their controversial literature affords
few good examples of the expression of
individualistic social or economic theo-
ries. boston Transcript.

to directions, and after he had sold his
corn he went to the bank and asked for
tho 1000. Mr.. II. Il. Anderson, one
OF the directors, was present and with

The fancy for Chinese and Japanese silk
underwear has waDcd, and il is we'll that
1t has done so, for silk does not wash well,
and tho first requisite of underwear Is that
