If man boards his flour in famine times and charges exhol bitant prices to the starving people. he is cruel miser. If man who owned boat were to refuse to permit it's use to rescue a shipwrecked crew unless he were paid for it he would be denounced as little else than a murderer. But when a combination of f1nanciers takes advantage of a low supply of coal (which it has brought about by it's own evil machinations) to transform the sufferings of the poor into pro- fits, it is-a Trust! Was ever an hon est English word so basely mjsused.

CARRYING MONEY.

It is amusing to notice the various methods in which men of different na- tionalities carry their worldly wealth. The Englishman carries his change loose in his right hand trousers pocket gold, silver, and copper all mixed up together. He pulls a handful Of the mixture out of his pocket in a large, opulent way and selects the coins he has need of.
 The American carries his 'wad oi bills in peculiar, long, narrow pock- etbook, in which the greenbaeks lie fiat; the Frenchman makes use of a leather purse with no distinguishing characteristics, while the German uses one gayly embroidered in silks by the fair hands of some Lottchen or Nina.
 The half-ciyilized capitalist from some torrid South American city car ries his dollars in a belt, with cun. ningly devised pockets to baffle the gentlemen with the light fingers. Some of these belts are very expensive.
 The Italian of the poorer classes ties up his little fortune in a gayly colored handkerchief secured with many knots, which he secrets in some mysterious manner about his clothes. A similar course has charms for the Spaniard; while the lower class Rus sian exhibits a preference for his boots or the lining of his clothes as hid Ing place tor his savings.
