than that which has to do with the opera
lions of nature. But the latter continues
to be of fundamental Importance, after all,
and that Importance grows men more
and more congregate in large communities.
The earth is largely the council chamber
where the laws Of supply and demand are
regulated. We have had practical evidence
of it the past year. A few cogs We're
slipped in the running of our economic ma
chine, and as a consequence the problem Of
existence has been harder. The corn crop
was a partial failure, and on the basis Of
that fact meat products have become to
many almost unattainable luXuries. Even
If manipulation has also been factor the
shortage of the staple upon which SO much
depends has had its natural effect.
There is no other vegetable that enters
so largely into the living of the American
family as the potato, and It's yield last year
was far below the average, making the
price. Of course, rise in inverse ratio. There
was a deficit in the apple crop and some
other fruits. But 1t is not necessary TO
catalogue all the points at which produc-
ton was reduced. Every householder has
been made familiar with them through
more or less hard experience.

until recently the Indians have used In their
work of agriculture. The government,
however, within the past few months has
supplied the tribe with steel implements
and the old-fashioned kind have been dis

from the limb of tree, and is over twelve
feet in length and about three and a half
inches in diameter. The base of the nipple
ment is about two and a half feet long and

formed by projecting branch. The slop-

Sons Of Poets.

The Lancet. the well-known English med

Of great poets are generally dull dogs.
Poetic fervor is evidently a spiritual fame
that burns itself out in the generation
wherein it is kindled. Indeed, 1t often
seems to burn out the very aptitude for
paternity: or is 1t that the poet is general
ly too Door to permit himself the delight of
fatherhood? However it NAV be, many
eminent English poets can never be ac-
cUsed Of having dull dogs" of sons, be-
cause they never had any sons at all. Cow
ley, Butler, Otway. Prior, Congreve, Gay,
Phillips. Savage, Thomson, Collins, Shen-
stone. Akenside. Goldsmith. Grey, Johnson
and Keats all died without leaving OFF,
spring. and Pope, Swift. Watts and Cowper
were never married. Dryden's, Addison's
and Parnell's descendants did not pass in
to the second generation, and the descend
ants Of Shakespeare and Milton became ex-
tinct in the second and third generations.
Sir Walter Scott's baronetcy expired with
