A Dead business.

Undertakes in many parts of the coun-
try are complaining that their business is
dead. If the embalming business does not
revive shortly. they say, they may be I'M

business. The pace that kills makes the
undertaken fat and happy, but many peo-
pie are not going that pace now. They are
economizing; eating plain food. working
hard, going to bed early, sleeping the
sound sleep of WEAKNESS, taking care of
themselves, and growing as sound as nails.
There are lots of people dying, of course;
but statistics show that the death rate is
decreasing. And just about this time not

Does Mr.. Bryan or any other man ex-
pect that prosperity is coming like a cy-
clone comes? No sensible man looks for
big boom throughout the country. with
its wild speculations in real estate and
stocks. and prosperity of that kind is not
desirable because it would be only tenn
porary, and would leave wrecks behind
1t. Prosperity to be lasting must come
gradually. New openings for the energies
of the people must be found.
All the great trunk railway lines which
viii be needed for many years are already
constructed, and there will not be much
railroad building for a long time. The
home demand for cars, rails, locomotives
and railroad supplies generally win be

for these and other products of our fac
tories greater than ever before In fact.
it looks as if we must turn our attention
to a greater extent than heretofore to
manufacturing for foreign markets.
AS a matter of fact our exports of man
ufactured products are increasing rapidly
in volume. In 1895 our exports of this
kind of products amounted to SOL ,l5S, 663
and in 1896 $25S, 6SS. 527-a remarkable in
crease.
There are signs OF better times, and
therezare reasons for thinking that they
will increase in number For instance,
last Thursday, at Abbeville, S. c., the
engine of new cotton mill-one of the
finest mills of the kind in the south-was
fired up for the first time and dispatch
from Huntsville, Ala, says that eastern
capitalists have just selected a site in
that town for a 100000 cotton mill. The
mill is to manufacture fine fabrics, such
as are not now manufactured in the
south.
There are many signs OF better times.
Some of those who assume they do not
exist do not look for them-they don't
want TO see them. Mr.. Bryan is one of
the last men who ought TO be inquiring
for general prosperity. lie has made
more money in the four months since the
election than he made in all the previous
years of his manhood. lie has no ground

Although Gen. Beauregard allowed the
use of his name to a lottery company, he
didn't think much of lotteries according
to a writer in the Chicago Times-Herald.
One day he received a long letter and a
dollar from a man living in Mississippi,
who wanted a ticket that would be certain
to win. He reminded the general that he
had faithfully served the conf91eracy
four years, and that at times he had fought
under him. He stated, moreover, that
when he returned to his home after the
war he didn't have clothes enough to wad

confederate friend a ticket and in the

prize. One as poor as you say you are

From Judge.
When lights are lit and evening blazes
dance,
And daytime cares forgotten for the
none,
My husband lights his pipe.
No protest do I make of curtains rare,
Or that old plant, tobacco in the hair"
My husbands soul is ripe
And mellow as a pppin that has hung,
Sun-kissed, where happy honey bees have
sung
Whene'er he lights his pipe.
With slippered feet and homemade dress
ing gown
He strides along; ofttimes a smile, a
frown,
Perchance may cross his face.
His thoughts on things of moment some
time turning,
He nothing says, but with his pipe a-burn-
Keeps up mis- measured pace
Through hall and dining room and library
And back again, where he can smile at
me
Whene'er he lights his pipe.
Sometimes he whifs and sings Lead,
kindly light"
Fine taste has he-he wants no ballads
trite,
No Bow'ry minstrelsy.
He clears his throat and sings another
verse,
And then calls out to me in accents
terse,
That's pretty good for me-"
And then mayhap he catches me a-smil-
ing
over that way he has of care beguiling
Whene'er he lights his pipe.
Sometimes he looks through half-closed
lids at me
Until | lay my sewing down, while he
Blows the blue smoke about
And on the arm of his great chair 1 sit
And in his hand my own l gently knit
And then old Time we ficut
And live again in young loves paradise,
Silent with joy, until he sudden cries,
by Jove! my pipe is out"
Oh. happy meerschaum! and oh, happy

Yet naught in my horizon do scan

Republican Harmony.

The impression is growing among close
observers of the political situation at
Washington that harmony among the re-
publican leaders will not continue very
long. Already there are signs which In
dictate a rupture of their friendly relations.
The President is doing all he can to pro-
mote a kindly feeling among them, be-
cause 4 quarrel would seriously interfere
with his plans.
One cause of dissatisfaction is the small
number of offices to be disposed Of. In the
departments nearly all the places are I'M
der the civil service rules. The heads of
the different departments have literally
nothing with which to reward their
friends. Even the places which pay big
salaries-salaries which range from $500
to S6,OO0-have to be filled in accordance
with the civil service rules. No removals
can be made except for good and sufficient
cause. The President has few places at
his disposal, but there are ten times as
many applicants as there are places to fll
This condition of affairs causes ill-feelng.
The President can satisfy only very
limited number of his friends. The sena-
tors and representatives who get nothing
for their constituents are not going to be
very jealous in the support of the admins
tration.
Another cause of dissatisfaction is Mr..
Hanna. A good many of the leaders don't
like his patronizing manner. The infer
ence from his actions is that he thinks
he is the power which controls the gov
eminent Because he paid Mr.. McEinley's
debts and was the chief factor in bringing
about Mr. McKinleys nomination and
election it is thought that he proposes that
the administration shall be conducted on
lines which he suggests.
All of this is, of course, very CALLING to
men who have looked upon themselves as
the wise men of the party for many years,
and they don't hesitate to say that Mr..
Hanna has been fully repaid for all that he
has done for Mr. Mckinley and the repub-
lican party. He has been given a senator
ship from Ohio, and they think he ought
to be satisfied with that 1t
is doubtful If Mr.. Sherman wanted
to leave the Senate, and 1t is also doubt
full If Mr.. Mckinley wanted MIR. Sherman
for his Secretary of State. Mr.. Sherman,
however, was transferred from the Senate
to the state department in order that Mr.
Hanna might have what he wanted. 1t is
thought. therefore. that Mr.. Hanna has
been paid in full both by Mr.. Mckinley
and the republican party
But Mr.. Hanna isn't going to take a
back seat. That Is so evident that 1t helps
to strengthen the belief in the prediction
that before many months the republican
leaders will be fighting among themselves.

ConIdn,t Henr the Mnnic.

Col Brown was a mighty fox-hunter,
and loved the sport beyond words, says
Harper's Round Table. He owned a fine
pack of hounds. and. during the season,
thought Of nothing but his hunters, his
dogs and the weather. He was once en-
pertaining a friend from America, whose
ideas of hunting any animal involved the
use of firearms, and who had never seen
a foX-hound. He had been with difficulty
persuaded to go forth one morning with
the colonel and some friends to meet,
and they were waiting impatiently for the
hounds to take the scent Presently there
burst upon their listening ears the din Of
thirty canine voices in fun cry. The colo
nels eyes CLEANED, and as he settled his
feet in the stirrups and stretched his arm
towards the yelping pack, he cried:
Major, listen to that heavenly musicr'
The major pricked up his ears for a sec
ond or two and then replied:
II can't hear a thing, those dogs are
making such a noise"
The colonel put his spur savagely into
his horses side, and dashed away, leaving
his guest 90 his own devices.

Killings Versus HondIr.


Billings was tall. very tall, with an ex-
quisite crop of red hair, whereas Hoadly
was short and corpulent, says FIarper's
Bazaar. On the train home the other eve
ming they became involved in an argu-
ment over the respective abilities of their
wives as marketers.
"Mr. Hoadly," Billings said, 'Iet me as
sure you, sir, that l fully concur with
you regarding the ability of Mrs. Hoadly
to market; but, sir, Mrs. Billings displays
such remarkable sagacity in her pur-
chases that 1 have never yet had an oc-
casion to question the advisability of
one"
Hoadlys cheeks pulled out for mo-
ment before he replied: well, Billings,
l would not for the world question such
excellent Judgment as that of Mrs. Bill
ings, especially when think of her tasty
little dinners, but did ever tell you Mrs.
Hoadly's experience with a Washington
market butcher? 1 have always thought
it the smartest bit of marketing / ever
encountered. You remember Porksides,
the butcher, who keeps a stall near the
lower end of the market?"
81 have heard Mrs. Billings comment
upon that person"
yes. 1t was Mrs. Billings that recon-
mended him to Mrs. Hoadly, and this day,
wishing to buy some spring chickens, 1t
occurred to her to try Porksides, so she
inquired:
How many spring chickens have you
got to-day, Mr.. POrksides"
- have Just six left Of the batch
said he; there they are hanging on the
hooks
Now, here is where Mrs. Hoadly ex-
celled in astuteness," and Hoadly's face
beamed proudly as he told it.
"I'll take three of them she said, but
as l keep a boarding house, l want you
to pick out the three toughest. Possibly,
you can let me have them little less"
"Bahr exclaimed Billings. you don't
call that astuteness, do your
wait a minute, my dear Billings. Pork
sides went to work punching those chicks
till he had selected the three toughest.
Just as he finished in walked your wife,
Mrs. Billings.
After the two ladies had greeted each
other, my wife turned, and, to the utter
astonishment of -Porksides, totally diser-
garding the three tough chickens he had
selected for her, coolly Informed him that
she would take the other three. Now,
what do you think of that method of Sc
curing tender chickenS2"
"A smart one, Hoadly; yes, indeed, quite
clever; in fact, almost as clever thing
as Mrs. Billings would do. But then it
would be difficult for any butcher to fool
her on chickens"
Hoadly had been laughing so hard over
his story that it was a moment or two
before he realized what Billings had said.
When he did he sadly shook his head and
relapsed into thought for moment
Billings he finally said, there was
only one person in that transaction I felt
sorry for"
who? Porksides"
mo, old man, it was you"
Me! What on earth did have to do
with it?'
'Well, you see, Billings, your wife
bought the three tough chickens"
