Overproduction.

There Is an overproducti0n Of cotton,
An overproducton of corn,
Too much of everything Is grown,
Too many people are born;
A surplus yield of wheat and bread,
OF potatoes, oats, and rye,
Hog and hominy, ham and eggs,
And homemade pumpkin pie,
Too much to eat. too much to wear,
And cattle on too many hills,
Too many agricultural tools,
Too many plows and drills;
There's surplus now of clothing,
Of every grade and kind.
Too many books and papers,
Too much of thought and mind.
Too many men TO do the work,
Too many women to weep.
More daylight than the people need,
Too much night for slec
OF Benedicts a surplus,
An oyersupply of wives,
Too many buds and blossoms,
More bees than there are hives.
More sunshine and more shadow
Than is needed for the dell;
An oyerproduction Of gravestones,
More collins than will sell;
All overproduction of ignorance,
A sight too many schools,
Too many poor, too many rich
And lots too many fools.

colors appear to better advantage in
silks than in wash stuffs But in silk
there is a richness that makes up in
good degree for the lack of color, which
in the simpler materials stands at full
force. This may not be endorsed by all
women, nevertheless there are many
who do not find in Il white duck waist,
for instance, the attractive freshness
that is the best recommendation for a
skirt of the same material. In the new
est white silk waists embroidery Is
freely used as a trimming, but only a
wee bit of very faint color is permitted
The woman who expresses a preference
for colored embroidery is pretty sure to
hear a discourse on the desirability of
maintaining sharply the distinction be-
tween shirt waists and fancy bodces.
One of these new garments appears
here 1t was white taffeta, made with
three box-pleats and trimmed with
white null embroidery. White satin is
usually worn for collar and belt with
such waists.
The starched duck skirt is not IN as
high favor this season as 1t was last
summer The reason is not hard to UNI
derstand. When made according to
current fashion, spreading at the foot
and sweeping behind, 1t is pretty to look
at, but difficult thing to wear. 1t is
horribly awkward when one tries to
hold it up, because it spreads in all di-
rections and in no direction gracefully.
Then it is soiled in a half block walk,
whether that distance is in the city or
the country. Most women perceived
these difficulties without experimenting
for themselves, so white duck skirts are
far fewer than is usual in July.

4 SIMPLE QUESTION,

A rather interesting question in COM
mon honesty is agitating Racine, Wis
consin. 1T appears that a woman in
Racine, Wisconsin, gave to 4 clerk a
dollar to pay for few things she
bought. The dollar was one of rare
date. The clerk sent dollar of his own
change and sold the dollar which he re-
ceived from her for $1,000, Now the
firm claims that it was it's dollar, and
the woman thinks she should have the
profit on it.
This matter is making great deal Of
talk in Racine, and it is likely to make
some elsewhere. Most people will, we
suppose, say that the dollar ought to
be given back to the woman and that
the clerk took advantage of the woman's
ignorance in a way that wasn't kind or
honest. They will also say that the
claim of the firm to the dollar is as
good, or as bad as that of the clerk. he
being the firms agent. few Will say
that the clerk ought to have kept his
mouth shut. But would the woman be
strictly honest in claiming the dollar
and keeping it? Where did she get 1t?
And SO forth and so on. AS it is not so
very warm this morning perhaps some
of our readers can proftably spend
little time in getting mad with them
selves and each other over this appar-
emily simple question.

All the Yankees aren't in New Eng
land. Fourteen months ago four Balti-
more young men made up their minds
there was going to be a demand for
tents. They went into business In a
modest way, as tent makers. One Of
them tells Baltimore reporter: During
the past year our weekly payroll some
times ran as high as $500 week. Wo-
men in this city who had been doing
ordinary sewing work and making only
$3.50 or SO a week when working for us
on the government contracts made IS or
SO a week regularly. On an average
during the first six months after the
declaration of war we paid $4,000 week
for labor in Baltimore. We have turn
ed out as high as 300 common tents in
a day, $50 hospital tents in day, 200 fly
tents in the same time / remember one
day in which we turned out 1900 bed
sacks on a rush order We have cut up
in our factory as much as $4,000 yards
of cotton between sunrise and shutdown.

1t has been decided to abandon the
trials of oil fuel on the torpedo-boat
destroyer Surly of the British navy on
the ground that it is impracticable I'M
less some special arrangements are
made for consuming the smoke produce
ed by the oil. The experiments have
been in progress about d year, and I'M
portant results We're anticipated by be-
levers in the system, who argued that
the LIQUID fuel not only would be cheap
err and cleaner, but would also save la
Dor in stocking. In the course of the
tests the Surly went to sea but once,
when it was found that the speed and
mower developed were far less than
when coal was used, owing to the low
evaporative qualities of the oil fuel
Various appliances were tried to pre-
vent the escape of heat with the smoke,
hut no solution to the difficulty was
found, and, owing to the density, dirti-
nass and nauseous smell of the smoke,
if became a positive nuisance. The

ate fluctuations either way, slid OIL
below Yesterdays prices. There were
adyices of crop damage, sterling eX-
change was strong at higher figures ana
call money was at a legal rate, six per
cent in the afternoon, all of which com
bined to send prices off with a rush and
the market closed weak under pressure.
The demand for money was incidental
to the preparations of corporations to
meet May disbursements, and then
there was a disposition among traders
to anticipate a possible squeeze in call
money tomorrow, when loans carry over
TO Monday. There was moderate arbl-
TRACE buying for London account early
and the traders also were prominent
buyers, but the diminishing commission
house business prompted them to switch
their position and sell for a turn. The
trading in half million shares was
practically all for professional opera
tors.
Silver certificates representing lO0,OOu
ounces changed hands at from 63H to
G4A, the latter being the highest figure
in over two years. The bull speculation
in silver. as well as dividend gossip inn
parted strength to Denver and Rio
Grande issues.
Anaconda Mining had over 3 points
knocked off from its recent advance on
liquidation induced by the denial of
large interest that the proposed copper
trust had control of the property. Man
haitian Beach dropped points with lit
tie recovery on stop loss orders being
reached. New York Air Brake sold up
IA points. the greater part of which IT
held on the approach of the judicial de-
cision which friends of the property
hope will be favorable. Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western recovered from
yesterdays depression which was con
nected with rumors of impending labor
difficulties. The heaviness of the mark
ct was accentuated by free selling of
Brooklyn Transit and Sugar although
an earlier rise in Sugar was on an in
tangible rumor that the company would
offer rights to subscribe for Il new issue
of stock at par, to be used in connection
with some deal with rival interests.
Further improvements were made in all
the standard railroad mortgages to-day
and some new tiotati0ns were also taken
at improved figures. Total sales 81, 1885,
