it is fortunate for this country that the
prevailing disposition is to market grain

Like Goldsmith's parson who
Tried eacn art. reproved each dull delay,
Allured to brighter worlds and led the

great preachers throughout the country
have been the most untiring and earnest
in telling the truth about Paine celery

have employed the great remedy in their
own homes with results that have steadily
kept UP their faith in it's health-giving

It is significant that Paine's celery COM

that is freely used in the homes not only
of clergymen, but of all literally as we'll

sicians, lawyers, school teachers and
others. while every other remedy pur-
porting to accomplish equal results, is
promptly shown the door.

so disinterestedly at heart as ~clergymen;
none others see so intimately the affairs
of so many homes. 1t is their business
to know the sad side, sorrows and suffer-

nine admit that there is such a decline.
We confess to almost as much surprise
as pleasure at this showing. 1t is SO much
the habit to decry poetry, and it occupies
so small a place in our idiotic educational
systems, that one is apt to get the idea
that interest in it is becoming extinct.
1t is beyond all doubt hard to get original
poetry published in America. and most of
what is put in print is SO bad as to cause
dependency regarding the future of the
Muses. among those who have only super
fetal appearances to judge from.
Even the figures cited here do not
suffice to remove the impression that the
culture of poetic taste Is far behind other
features of our National civilization. We
rather run to music, with a strong lean
ing to pictorial art, and while not greatly
creative in either field, we may claim
with pride to be both sincere and pro-
gressive. But the most sanguine Ameri-
can cannot claim that either in produc-
ton or in popular appreciation W. can

With a volume of business remarkable
for the time of year, 50 per cent. larger
than a year ago and 1914 per cent. larger
thar in 1892 in payments through clearing
houses, it is not discouraging that one or
two industries are tagging. The demand
for most good is more heavy for the sea-
son. manufacturing works are better en-
ployed, and orders booked and prospects
for the future are more encouraging, than
at this season in any other year of which
equally definite records exist. exports
of products continue surprisingly heavy
in spite of some rise in prices. Treasury
receipts from customs were larger in
twenty days of January, than in the en-
tire month of October or Of November,
and apprehension regarding the monetary
future is no longer felt outsideaof specula-
tive circles. Failures are considerably
smaller than were ever known at this
season. both manufacturing and trading
less than half last years. Railroad earn
ings in January thus far reported have
been 17.6 per cent. larger thar last year,
and 1913 per cent. larger than in 1892. Nor
are misehievous proposals in Congress
supposed to have any chance of success.
The rise of wheat above a dollar In

signs of speculative excitement. In fact,
