The White Woman's Burden.

Take up the White Woman's burden
AS We cross nasty street,
Then look to see portion
Still dangling round your feet;
And the skirt that you have treasured,
And tried to keep unsoiled.
Should now be quickly sterilized
BY being washed and boiled.
Take up the White Woman's burden
And dare not lay it down.
AS we go about your shopping
All over the busy town.
Endure the awful moment.
And restrain a desire to curse,
When you want to pay the waiter
And cannot find your purse.
Take up a Woman's White burden
And carry it in your hand,
There is no other receptacle ~
In all this broad, broad land;
Not even the smallest pocket ~
Will fashion stern allow
For the tiniest bit of muslin
To wipe your weary brow.
Take up the White Woman's BURDEN
Give teas, receptions, balls,
And stand for hours receiving
In cold and draughty halls.
Support the church and missions
By selling from door to door,
The tickets for some performance
That all will vote a bore.
Take up the White Woman's burdens
To explain the half to men
Would take the life of Methuselah
And Marion Crawford's pen.
You will need the strength of Sampson
And the patience of a Job
and the wisdom of a Solomon
Ere you don your ascension robe.

Hay and Feedstnfs.

Receipts of Hay continue too large and the
market is depressed though there is de-
cline except in Alfalfa, which is coming in
more freely. The circular of Somers Co.
says:
I'VE report no change In the situation
in any way; there is large quantity of Hay
in all the hay districts yet to be marketed.
and the general idea is that If we any
change in prices before winter 1t will be for the
worse rather than for the better: The weather
has been threatening somewhat of late, and
the general opinion is that we will have early
rains. Should this be true there Will be much
Hay damaged for at the rate Ii Is now be-
ing pressed il will be well into the rainy sea-
son before it is all out of the fields.
The southern market has been investigated
more thoroughly of late, and the report comes
to us that their crop is by no means short
as was originally expected. There seems TO be
a. general idea down south that should they
have to go elsewhere for portion of their
supply they will naturally turn toward Ari-
zona freigffts being considerably cheaper from
that State than from our section Of country

The supply has been reduced forty cars by a

Boston Wool Market.

BOSTON, Aug. 1s.-The American Wool and
Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow! The wool
market has slowed up somewhat during the
past week, although the volume Of business has
reached a very good figure. Two factors have
been at work. The wool merchants have been
busily engaged in receiving, grading and de-
liverlng wool and have had less time than usual
to think about effecting new transactions. On
the other hand manufacturers have been more
intent on their vacations than upon charging
their holdings of the raw material. Travelling
statesmen for the wool houses report that In in
Vulnerable instances they have been unable to
find mill proprietors, the latter being away at
the seashore or mountains. The buying has
lately been largely of hand-to-mouth char
acter. although there have been several in
stances of transactions of considerable magni-
tude.
The sales of the week In Boston amounted to
5,366, 600 pounds domestic and 1870 600 pounds for
eign, making total of 54s6, COO. against a total
of 6,S91,9 for the previous week and total
Of 1855 coo for the corresponding week last year
Sales since January l. 1899, amounted to l75
