THE DAY OF BARTER AND SALE.

mamma, my sisters and | borrowed
from each other as a matter of course.
There were four of us, and as we had
not much money to dress on we con-
tinually helped or were helped, as the
case might be, to meet unexpected con-
tingencies. Whether there is less
affection nowadays or whether it is the
mercenary spirit of the age | do not
know, but the generous and ever-ready
assistance that we were always delight
ed to give, and expected in our turn to
receive, seems to be obsolete in the
families with whom / am brought in
contact now.

with flow of language that could not
be surpassed by any professional vender,
and the clever way she disposed of a
lot of trash was worthy OF a better
cause. The merchandise consisted of
dresses, hats and chiffons that their
owners had no further use for, and the
buyers were all girls in the same set of
society. OF course, there was no end
OF fun, and as an entertainment it was
a great success. but 1t did seem to me
a very odd performance on the part of
young ladies.
The way my granddaughters have Of
hiring out there clothes to each other
also strikes me as most extraordinary,
and the percentage these little Shy
locks exact is enormous. L will pay

your black stockings with yellow dots

one OF my youngest granddaughters

worldly wisdom at all. New York

tuberculosis is contagious disease.
The experiment will not be without

doubtful utility. tuberculosis is
ordinarily a disease of slow course.
Isolating for sufferers from this
malady means separation from friends
and relatives for years-not for few
weeks, as with cases of smallpox or
diphtheria. 1t means the breaking up
OF family ties and the interruption OF
life work. These are very serious
things to do without the most absolute
assurance that they are necessary to

Within the last six months a writer
in Locomotive Engineering has been
engaged in looking up information
concerning the genesis of our railroad
system, and he has Naturally examined
great many of the pioneer locomo-
tiyes and cars. There is one thing con-
nected with the pictures of early rail-
roadlng, which Is the persistent fond
ness of trainmen for plug hats. No
matter under what circumstances they
may be found at work-conductor

but no matter, rain or shine, there
stands forth all the trainmen. holding
up their defiant hats to show how far
the wearer stands above the discomforts

covering railway men with silk hats
was not confined TO America. In old
prints of railway officials performing
their responsible duties on European

THE PROPER TENURE OF CON-
SULAR OFFICE.


Having provided for appointment
upon pratical lines, it would remain to
decide on some principle, the matter of
tenure, says George F. Parker in the
Atlantic. Nothing is clearer to the
student of our conditions than that a
system of life tenure, or assurance O.
1t, has not been accepted by the people
OF the United States, and not likely to
be until there has been a revolution in
institutions as well as ideas. Before
vice consuls are accepted or become
eligible for promotion they should go
into actual service for one year. After
that, limit their terms to six additional
years in the various grades through
which they may pass, leaving neither
the president nor the department any
power to reappoint. During this term
the official should return home for two
visits, of at least three months each,
not for his own pleasure, but in the
performance of his official duties.
Under the direction both of the de-
partment and his immediate superior.
the consul general, he would go into
all the domestic districts having in
destries akin to those with which he
was called upon to deal in his group.
His usefulness at his post would be
greatly Increased. while he would
maintain the closest touch with his
own country. In like manner, he
should be required to visit the princi.
pal places of his group of district each
yeas, for the purpose of studying with
care its manufacturing. commercial,
and agricultural interests, so that he
might report them, when necessary.
in no chance or haphazard way. Ac-
curing, in this way, a knowledge of
the industries of two countries, the
consul, at the eud of the term, would
return home in order to retire. to en-
gage in business or public life. fitted
to teach others, by speech and writing,
what he had learned, for their advan-
tage and for his own. He might be
preferred again for consular service
after a retirement of some years.-or
for the diplomatic service, or for home
offices.

WHEAT LANDS TO BE OPENED.
From This There Is No Danger That
the Worlds supply VIII Soon
De Exhausted.

The alarm about the early exhaus-
tion or insuficiency of the worlds
wheat supply may be somewhat abated
by the facts in connection with an ap-
plication for charter of a new Canadian
railroad. The title Of the proposed road
is the Quebec g. Lake Huron, and its
route Is from the mouth of French riv-
er, on Georgian bay, across the ottawa
at Mattana and the st. Maurice at
Grandes Piles, to Quebec. The distance
is 40 miles, or 1875 miles shorter than
from Parry sound. Included in the
line is great plateau, embracing 3 5,Oo0,
600 acres of forest and farming lands,
now out Of reach Of railroads, and said
to be capable of easily supporting a
population of 100000, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch.
The region through which the new
road viii pass is well adapted to wheat
growing, and the plan includes great
grain elevators for the accommodation
of this resource. Incidentally the
project calls attention to the fact that
Canada has other large tracts of unde-
veloped territory adapted to the grow
ing spring wheat This area, added to
that about TO be opened by the Trans
Siberian railroad, viii certainly post
pone for some years the shortage pre-
dicted by Sir William Crookes. Mean
time the wheat farmer is not receiving
price for his product indicative of any
popular fear or speculative belief in
the failure Of the supply.

not to the liking Of the Marcum
men, who said the convention
would be packed with citizens of
Ardmore, not delegates, who
would take part in the vive voce
vote and give victory to Wolver-
ton. The Marcum men contended
that the precedent required the
vote on temporary organization to
be taken by the executive COM
mittee.
Both factions are preparing for
contest at Kansas City. The VOL
verton men have the support of
the chairman of the executive
committee and majority of its
members. Col. Marcum will be
able TO exert influence as national
and as a friend of
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, chair
man of the national committee.
The general belief is that both
factions will be seated in Kansas

presidential nomination

tain. The national convention
