What queer theories some people
have. A few days ago a man told one
of the Journal reporters that there was
every indication of an early spring
that on account of the snow coming
so carly in November, there was hut
little frost in the ground, etc, which
cheerful forecast might give the i'm
preston that the season was away
ahead of anything yet recorded, and
that instead of having our first mess
of green peas from the garden on the
18th of July. we might be able to pick
them for the 18th Of June, or possibly.
Memorial day. II is cruel to dispel
fond hopes, but the fact remains that
there is more frost in the ground. this
spring than has been found for Il
number of years. Supt. Williams men,
in working on the water pipes, have
found the ground frozen very deep, in
some places to the depth of 6 feet.

Glasses In China.

The Chinese standard division Of all
men is into four ella sses, VIZ, scholars,
farmers, artisans and merchants. On
principles of justice one class should
not rank above another. Yet the inva-
above is practically significant of our
estimation of the class. Thus scholars
are named first, and we honor them as
the highest class in the state, and mer-
chants come last and are generally
looked upon with disdain by the edu-
Gated. And yet the fiourishing of COM
merce is essential to the happiness OF
all.
If our trade is absorbed by foreign
ers the whole state from top to bot
tom becomes weak. We must not de-
spise the "shopkeeperS." In the west,
if any merchants desire to rescue from
the clutches Of an alien nation any
profit which rightly belong to them
selves, the Government annually as
sists those merchants with subsidies,
SO that they can drive the foreigner
out Of their markets. At the end of
each year accurate statistics of the
trade of each city are published. We
have never heard of this plan being
used Ia China. The reason is that IN
China the officials and merchants are
at opposite ends of the scale ana
hence are not in harmony. What the
officials order is usually detrimental
to trade. Any official acts which are
designed as help to trade are exceed
ingly rare.-Translation in Shanghai
Mercury.

Improvement Of Country Life.

In the golden age country life was all
that could be demanded even by the
most eXacting critic, and the glorious
fellowships of shepherds and shepherd
esses. the Corydons the Chloes and
all that set, knowing none of the as
pirations of modern life toward libra
ries, telephones and free deliveries,
We're exceedingly happy all the time.
1t is not SO now. Country life now
has certain awkward and eXasperating
disadvantages. Isolation and the want
of good means of communication lie at
the root of the difficulty.
Farming is, no doubt, one of the most
normal and healthful of occupations.
At the same time it is, to q certain de-
gree, narrowing and deadening. If to
the pleasurable and profitable features
Of the country there could be added
some of the pleasurable and profitable
features Of the city great good would
have been accomplished. If, besides
fresh air, good food and excellent
health, the farmer could have the H.
braries. telephones and free deliver
les before mentioned. as well as the
concerts, the lectures, the theatres, the
museums and the constant and easy
intercourse which are possible in
urban communities, the change in the
tone of rural life would bring with it
important and far-reaching conse-
quences.-Chicago Tribune.

roots, herbs and plants for the botanic
druggists, and there is much care and
expense put upon the culture of such
things.
Prices vary from season to season,
and quotations cannot be long de-
pended upon. Many of these raw ma
terials are expensive. Larkspur seed
sells at So per ounce. and sassafras
pith, quantity recommended in an in
fusion of rose water for sore eyes,
fetches 81 an ounce. Many of the
herbs that go to make familiar medi-
cines seem very cheap.
The botanic druggists keep also many
extracts worth from 81 to $3.50 per
pound. and scores of essential oils, as
of anise, of catnip, of goldenrod. of
horseradish, of rue, of sage, of Gala
mus, of parsley and of pennyroyal. The
art of extracting these oils is part of
the herb doctors knowledge. and as
well of the manufacturing druggists.
