An eastern paper says that the high
price of meat is due, in part, to the ex-
tensive drought of year ago. Will
someone please diagnose the cause of
the low price of beef cattle at the pres
ent time? 1t would be OF interest to a
large number of cattlemen. Those
eminent specialists, Messrs. Armour,
Morris, Swift, ct al, have the floor.

THE GROWTH OF VENICE.
Old Palaces Converted to Business
PurpOses-New Buildings.

William E. Curtis in the Chicago Record Herald.
1t is the prevailing impression that Ven
ice got its growth centuries ago; reached
the zenith Of it's power, wealth and pros
perity in the fifteenth century, and since
that time has been in a state of gradual
decline. l have heard people who ought to
know better assert that the latest new
building was erected 900 years ago, and
J that since then there has been no work in
Venice for carpenters, masons and men,
bers of the other building trades except to
repair adaptations and restore the crum-
bled walls. That is a great mistake. Ven
ice is growing, like other European cities,
in population, wealth, industry and COM
merce, and three of the most beautiful pal
aces on the Grand canal have been erected
within the last two years. One Of them
remains unfinished.
There has been large amount Of other
building also, much to the regret of the
aesthetic cult, who fear the revival of COM
merce and industry will njure and perhaps
destroy the artistic beauty of the city.
Similar complaints have been made in Flor
ence Apostles Of the picturesque win tell
you that modern enterprise has ruined
some OF the most admirable spots in the
old capital Of the Medicis; that palaces Of
Wondrous beauty have been torn down to
give place to ugly edificeS, in the designs
of which utility alone has been considered,
and that the quaint old narrow streets
have had their attra ctons destroyed by the
municipal council, which insisted upon
tearing down facades that were erected 500
years ago in order to make room for ON
nlbuSeS to pass
Doubtless there is more or less ground for
these criticisms, and perhaps the fears con-
cerning Venice are well founded. The
smoke from the tall chimneys of the new
factories will no doubt pollute the atmos-
phere and injure the beautiful tints which
age has given to the marble carvings; and,
OF course, alterations will be necessary to
make any of the old palaces convenient for
business purposes. Many people believe
that Venice should be preserved untouched
as great international museum and school
OF architecture and art; that commerce
should be suppressed. and that no one
should be allowed to live here's people
OF leisure and refined tastes. Grain eleva-
tors, Haur mills, iron foundries and other
practical enterprises which are being intro
duced into Venice are certainly obstacles
TO artistic growth, but the people of this
city are actuated by mercenary motives
like the rest of mankind and are, not con-
tent with the income they derive from

Women,
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun. ~ 81
There are but few states in the Union
that do not now offer to women the best
they have in educational opportunities. In
the majority of states there have been rad
ical changes for the better, during the past
forty years. in the laws affecting women.
In over half of the states no occupations
are legally forbidden to them. While these
facts do not prove by any means that all
INEQUALITIES have been removed and that
tneir chances are equal with those of men,
they 90 show the wonderful results of the
years of agitation, and they leave no
doubt that ultimately the existing discrim-
nations will be removed and the back
ward states will be brought into line.

The face value of the Pan-Americau
stamps to be destroyed will be from a
million to a million and half dollars. New
York alone returned stamps of this series
to the value of 100000, and the Washington
city Office returned about half that value.
Notwithstanding that it was known TO
stamp collectors from the first that no
more stamps could be purchased after Oc-
tober 81, the department Is daily in re-
ceipt of letters from philstelists begging
for sets, sheets and blocks of the Pan
American stamps. They already sell at a
premium of from ten TO twenty-five per
cent over face value.

Within a few weeks a force Of a score or

tion division and the stupendous work of
accounting will begin. There Will be 10000

stamp in every box and package must be
counted several times, records made, Veri-
fed, checked off, compared with the state

filed in and preserved for reference, copies
made and forwarded to postmasters. Then

stamps scheduled for the sacrifice usually
being in bags or boxes. There is no cere-
nlony; the big upper iron door is opened, n
| few sheets of stamps are lighted and
thrown into the caveruous opening, then
| the bundles and packages are torn open
and the sheets thrown into the furnace,
helter skelter, and soon thousands of dol
lars worth of stamps, face value, are roar
ing merrily- The iron door is then closed
and sealed by means of big paddock, and
the task is completed.
These burnings occur every few days.

The excessively hot wea her resulted in the

ed to the department by postmasters and
new supplies forwarded in their place. The
department makes no effort to utilize re-
turned stamps. No matter how slight the
imperfection or small the damage the
stamps go to the incinerator and the post
master is given full credit.
The Periodical stamp Holocaust.
Chief Scott says the greatest burning
| hitherto was at the time the newspaper
and periodical stamps were destroyed. For
many years 1T was the custom TO affix TO
| the stubs of receipts given newspaper pub
! fishers on account of second-class postage
stamps of special design, known as period
! ical stamps, these stamps being issued In
| denominations from one cent to one hum
| dred dollars. Three years ago an order
was issued abolishing the stamps and post
masters were ordered to return all stamps
of this kind in their possession to the re-
demption division. Large stocks of these
stamps were carried and the redemption
! division was overwhelmed with the ava
| lanche OF stamps that came in. Many
| months were required in checking up the
stamps and making necessary entries, and
| three months were actually consumed in
/ the process of burning the stamps.
Chief Scott asserts that the accumula-
| tions of Pan-Americans even eclipses the
| periodicals, and that this will be record
breaker in the history OF the department.

Mrs. Collins was very pretty and
popular woman. and the marks upon
