and AZ 400 the corresponding week last
year This was one OF the few weeks this
year showing larger receipts than the cor

on account Of the heavy supply of quar-

No fancy cattle have been marketed dur

AR1sTocRACY OF THE SUN.
singular Line of Demarkatfon That
IL Established by 1t In Swift
zer1and.

There is an aristocracy of the sun.
NJ. Lugeon, professor in the Univer-
sity of Lausanne, has been making an
investigation in the great valleys of
Switzerland, and finds that the edge
of the daylong shadow that winds amid
the high mountains is a most remark
able boundary. 1t is not onlya bound
airy between sunlit slopes and hills in
the shadow, but it is line that divides
aristocratsin intelligence and prosper
ity from plebeians of ignorance and
poverty, says the New York Herald.
Prof. Lugeon has made special
study of the great valleys of the can
ton between Martigny and the Rhone
glacier, and finds that where both sides
are equally steep preference is given
to the sunny side as place of resi-
dence, there being three persons there
to one on the side in the shade :. This
is not rema rka BILE, but it is rema rkable
that the jewellers in the sunlight are
far superior to those who live in the
shadow in intelligence, education and
general prosperity.
Sunlight has developed ambition and
energy, and it's effect is seen in the
homes, fields, dress and conversation
of those people of the sun, who look
with contempt on the people of the
shade, across the valley.
