PROGRESS TOWARDS PROS
PERITY.

Practical business is as much subject to
evolution as is any other department of Ii o
or OF thought, and it is entirely natural that
manufacturing and industrial enterprises
should share this experience.
The organization a year ago, OF The
American Agricultural Chemical Company,
was in response to demand for better sys-
TENS and greater economy, and years ex-
perience has proved that the enterprise was
wisely conceived, and has been honestly
carried forward.
AS result Notwithstanding the general
and very considerable advance in the cost
of raw materials during the last year, the
farmers find that this years prices of fer
tilizers are not advanced.
We are confident that the company is
striving to make economies which will en-
able it to market its productions at lowest
prices.

VICE In TENEMENT HOUSES.
Proposed Legislation in New York that
Will Separate Children from
Pollution.

New York, March 25.-The commit
teeof fifteen yesterday sent l%etterto
Gov. Odell warmly indorsing the rec
concentrations of the tenement house
committee i'll regard to the driving
out OF vice from the tenement houses.
The committee has devoted considera-
BILE time to this question, which wa
one of the things which called it into
the field, and it is expected the full
committee will go to Albany, on
Tuesday. when a hearing on the re-
port of the tenement house commit
tee will be had before the cities COM
mittee of the legislature. The letter
reads in part rs follows:
1.-THE greatest of existing evils Is
the intrusion and wide extension of
prostitution in the tenement houses,
the houses in which the great mass OF
wage earners are compelled to live.
There will probably for a long time 20
come, continue to be differences of
opinion as to the degree in which it is
possible to check social vice in our
great cities, but there can be no two
opinions as to the necessity of pro-
tecing children of tender years from
close contact with depravity. An in
innate acquaintance with adult vice
should, at least, not be forced upon
young children by permitting suci
vice to penetrate into the very houses
in which they live. The cry of parents
when they ask merely for the oppor.
tunity of bringing up their children in
an atmosphere free from the pollu-
ton of the most degrading form OF
moral evils should surely be needed"
The letter says that the law on the
statute book has not met the situa-
ton, and what is needed is a law that
will place the responsibility for the
existence of vice in the tenements on
the shoulders of the landlords. This,
the committee says, the legislation
proposed by the tenement house COM
mittee will do.

When George III. went to Ireland

his affability to the crowd OF land

king passed through:
Och, now! and his majesty, God
bless him, never paid the turnpike!

"Oh, kings never does; we let's EN-
go free" was the answer.
Then, there is the dirty money fer
ye," says pat: sit shall never be said
hat the king came here and found
nobody to pay the turnpike for him.

told this story to Sir Walter Scott
when they were comparing notes as
to the two royal visits.

of us. There was no want of enthusi-
asm here; the Scotch folk would have
done anythin" in the world for his

A Yankee Notion Abroad.

Congressman Weymouth, of Massa-
chusetts, recently received some m
pressive information on the spread of
American manufacturers to all parts
of the world. Mr.. Weymouth is at the
head of a New England concern,
which has for nearly a century been
making and selling tacks. Moved by
the general spirit of expansion, the
company started a man on his travels
in the orient to study opportunities
for the introduction of the goods.
From the Hawaiian islands this COM
mercial explorer has just reported
that he visited the IL stores which
handle such things for the Hawaiiars
and found the particular kind of tacks
or sale in every one of them.-Wash-

TIE ECHO OF A BANK WRECK
Suicide of Former Mayor w. j. Gilbert. o.
Niles. Mich. Bosom Friend of
Charles A. johnson.

Niles, Mich, March 25.-W. j. Gil.
bert, former mayor of this town.
reputed to be wealthy and one of the
best-known and most respected resi-.
dents of Berrien county, was found
dead, yesterday, in a 81 orehouse in the
rear OF residence, where he had end
ed his life with "A bullet. Grief over
, the misfortune of a bosom friend is
believed to have caused the suicide.
Warm personal relations existed be-
tween Mr.. Gilbert and Charles A.
| Johnson, cashier of the First national
bank, who fed a few hours before the
failure of that institution, and who
was brought back under arrest from
Ohio, a few days ago, charged with
wrecking the bank.
Mr.. Gilbert was Johnson's legal adj
| wiser and trusted him unreservedly.
The two were much together and
their regard for eacn other was a
! matter of common knowledge among
their associates. They were engaged
in many enterprises together and
both, for nearly thirty years, had
taken a leading part, commercially
and politically, in the development of
the town.
How far Mr.. Gilbert's business af-
fairs were affected by Johnson's OPP
erations, and the collapse of the First
national bank, only a full investigation
of that institutions condition can dis
close. Mr.. Gilbert, aside from his
w possessions, held many estates in
trust, acted as guardian in several in
stances, and acted as loan agen for
considerable eastern capital. He did
much business through Johnson's
bank, and it is thought was a large
loser through the failure.
Mr.. Gilbert had been missing since
Friday morning, when, after break
fast, he started toward town. Every
thing was found in perfect order in
his law office, but unfinished business
and the unlocked safe showed that he
had been there Friday morning.
Friday evening the republican
primaries of the Second ward were to
have been held in Mr.. Gilbert's office,
but he failed to put in an appearance.
His only daughter, Miss Julia, was of
the opinion he had gone out of town.
Yesterday a search by his friends dis
closed the suicide.

The Shrinking SUN.

The usual Christmas course of lee
lures was begun at the Royal institu-
ton by Sir Robert Ball. The sun, he
pointed out, was the source of all the
heat received BY this earth. Now, it
was a w~eil-known fact hat most
things in cooling became smaller; a
poker, for example. was shorter when
it was cold than when it was red hot.
The sun. TOO, must obey this funda-
mental law, and must, therefore, be
getting smaller. If we could measure
it's diameter on two successive days
we should ind it had decreased by
nine inches-that was to say, it was
shrinking at the rate, roughly, five
| feet a week, or a mile in every 20
wears. In view of this shrinkage,
some of the younger members of his
audience might feel anxious lest the
sun should not last their time. Such
anxiety, however, was groundles; he
was $4,000 miles in diameter. so it
would take 10000 years for him to be
reduced by 1000 miles to S5S,000, and
the lecturer was sure that if there
were two suns in the sky, n of $780,
900 miles in diameter me the other
$4,000. no one would be able to tell
hy looking at them which of the two
was the smaller. But as the sun was
shrinking nine inches every day, and
had been doing So for ages. it fol-
lowed that in the past he was very
much greater than he was now. But
he always had the same amount of
material in him and weighed no
heavier that at present; hence the in
ference was that he vas once a huge
mass of rarified CASA great, glow
ing nebula.-LondCl. Times.

The "Habit, of Fruit Bearing.

Fruit-bearing in trees is merely a
habit, for q young tree, taken in hand
at the commencement, need only be
pruned during the first three or four
years, after which it win continue to
produce fruit spurs of itself. For it
must be remembered that fruit-bear-

aged in trees, and when once they are
well trained to do it they Will not
