Timothy Prim has never been the
recipient OF much sympathy. even from
his own people. He lives all alone
with his cats and fowls In a low
thatched house that has been the Prim's
from time immemorisl. At times he
suffers from provincial kind OF
rheumatism known as "oriok-in-the-
back" and this often incspaoitates
him for work. At such times he is
wholly dependent upon the kindness Of
some nearby neighbors
Il may be pathetic to see him, after

is strong toward him and IL fails to

that Timothy visits to Parmelia ceased

they were regularly continued. Timo-

old calling nights--Wednesday and
Sundays.
OF late years the rheumatism forbids
his going out on damp or inclement
nights. He has also changed his hours
from eight TO seven and leaves promptly

Psrmelia feel the need Of longer rest

have been sharers.

The following paragraph came from
the head OF the leading article in Dun's
Review for the 12th of May:
with wholesome promptness the
country Is recovering from the embar-
rassment OF unnaturslly high prices. III
some lines the great manufacturing
associations have taken the lead; in
others reduction is still deferred be-
cause the entire producing capacity is
engaged at high prices for some
months to come: in others IL comes in
spite OF resistance because buyers hold
back orders for their own protection
until material concessions are made.
No disturbance nor stringency OF cred
It's results. nor any sign Of alarm. and
the movement is perhaps more healthy
than it could have been IL entirely
controlled by the competition OF many
small concerns. The proportion OF works
and of hands unemployed is as yet
quite small. and the volume of busi-
ness transacted. though less than last
year in New England and in Middle
State cities, is larger than ever before
at fifty-four out of sixty-three clearing
houses In the entire region west of
Pennsylvania and south of the Poto-
mac" -A
Natural prices are only those fixed by
the actual volume OF real money. and
by the laws Of supply and demand. But
how do we get 'unnaturally high
prices?'y Solely now by the trusts. Now
this Review writer says the shrinkage
OF these unnaturally high prices to a
lower level is "a wholesome recovery"
that is, when all holders of merchan-
disc, and all consumers of merchandise
already bought are daily losing money
upon Il. II is "a wholesome recovery"
or. when men under long contracts,
are obliged to take immense products
OF mills. always upon a declining mar
ket, the process is "a wholesome recov-
cry" We confess We do not see the
logic Of the article. nor can we see how
Nhe condition now Is more healthy"
than IL could have been had IL been
controlled by the competition of many
small concerns. Such logic is positively
rotten.

The United States government pub
fishes certain statistics concerning the
export and import trade OF the Philip
pine islands. For the four months pre-
ceding the 3ist of October last, the i'm
ports amounted TO ss.912,52i. OF this
sum there came from the United
States only s635,i9o. This was, OF
course nearly ten months since. and
the war was then in progress. 1t is to
be expected that once the current sets
fairly in. the flow of goods from this
country will be very large. The Unit
ed States actually bought si,51s,14S from
these islands. while selling them only
the paltry sum above mentioned.
