Certainly If the government takes pains

attempts to deceive as to the quality Of

health and life of it's citizens. The De-
partment Of Agriculture, by direction
of Congress, is investigating the char
acter and extent of adulteration. Many
of the States have enacted laws to pre-
vent such practices, and it is very de-
sirable to know how these laws have
been enforced, and with what results.

A Fatherly Assurance.

! Mrs. CumrOX's son was studying his
Latin lesson. There was the tremolo
Of encouragement in his voice as he
remarked:
II don't seem to get along with this
lesson very well, father"
Cant you say any Of it?'
Eyes; I can say 'amo, amas, amat, !;
and then I always forget what comes
next"
what does those words mean, John
nyY asked Mr.. Cumrox, who deserves
credit for being always ready to add
to a somewhat deficient early educa-
ton.
'They mean 4 love, thou lowest, he
loves"
'It does seem too bad to see you
starting in so soon," the old gentleman
unused, with the difficulties that has
always surrounded that verb. But
you might as well commence young to
learn that them words in one way or
another causes two-thirds Of the both
GRAFTON that occurs in this life." ~
"Please can I quit school, thenT'
"No; it wouldn't be any use. You
couldn't dodge 'em, and you might as
well go right along and get as familiar
with them as possible. You'll find that
learnin' 'em amt half the worry that
handlin' 'em is after We know 'em.

most Of your trouble is still ahead of
you."-Washingto Star.

It is not well to let a misguided spirit
of compassion interfere with the proper
disciplining Of the hobo. In the great
majority of cases the tramp is tramp
because he prefers tramping to work
ing. Mendicancy and theft are more
eongenial to him than labor. He must
be dealt with accordingly. The best
thing to do with the hobo is to keep
him moving. If he is willing to work,
that Is different thing. If he won't
work he should be driven out of town
and kept out.

The rest of the world is in very bad
humor just now. Europe is in bad
way. Great Britain is growing at the
United States on account Of those tire
some seals and Secretary Sherman; also
because she holds us in some way re-
sponsible for the proposition to have
the Bank Of England carry one-fifth Of
its reserve in silver. The continent Of
Europe has not yet recovered from the
adjustment Of the treaty between Tur-
key and Greece, which is now supposed
to be finally settled. That treaty is as
frankly commercial as was the agree
ment under which Egypt is now con-
trolled. The Overwhelming debt of
Greece was the important thing in the
settlement; national rights, Turkish in
justice, former treaties, had little to do
with the matter. For an indefinite
time to come Greece will be largely
ruled, by a debt commission. AS for
France and Russia, they are certainly
in a good temper towards each other,
and the visit of M. Faure to his imperial
ally has had more than a spectacular
Importance. But whether the alliance
is one that makes for peace is another
question. Spain is in a turmoil with
the change Of administration, and no
one can tell what week may bring

uprising on the northwestern borders
of the Indian empire appears not to
have been exaggerated. In Africa,

There is no more remarkable feature

There is no more remarkable feature
In the development of the new South
than the rapid growth of cotton manu-
featuring. Before the war there was
scarcely cotton mill in the South;
now there are 4S2, and they use more
than a million bales of cotton a year.
During the last ten years the South
has made much more rapid progress in
cotton manufacturing, relatively, than
the North has. In 1887 Southern mills
used 4O1, 452 bales of cotton and North
ern mills 1,710,08O, while in the year
ended Aug. 81, 1897, Southern mills
used ], 042 ,671 bales and Northern mills
1904, $50. At this rate cotton manu-
featuring in the South will soon sur
pass that Of the North.

Much surprise has been expressed
that while the price of first-class BIZ
cycles has fallen from 500 to $65 or
So the price Of typewriters remains
the same: In first hands a 500 type
writer still costs 500. The question
possesses practical interest, because
there ought to be corresponding de-
crease in the price of articles manu-
featured under similar circumstances.
Actually the same machinery is used
is producing large portion of the
framework, the wire. parts and some Of
the movements of both machines.
Within a year or two typewriter man.
ufacturies have been turned into BIZ
cycle factories with but little expense.
As the bicycle demand fell off and the
typewriter demand increased the fac
tories were changed back to the origi-
nal plan. The same might be said of
the price of watch. movements, the
cost Of which constitutes the principal
cost Of watch. The machinery in a
watch factory can be adapted at little
cost to the manufacture Of either BIZ
cycles or typewriters. The cost Of
watch movements has decreased SO
that one of the best of watches can be
bought now for one-half what it would
have cost ten years ago. An intelli-
gent person explains why the price. Of
the writing machines is as high now
as ever, If not higher, as to equal
grades. 1t is the everlasting trust and
combination Of interests among manu-
facturers that keeps up, the price Of
typewriters. The trust markets all the
standard machines and controls the
trade. The trust must pay enormous
dividends. That IS why the cost of
typewriters is maintained at the top
notch Of prices, Notwithstanding the
great reduction in the cost Of manu-
facture.
