The Way OF the World.

1t works about like this most of
the time-when one mar or one line
of business is very prosperous some
other man or line of business is apt
to be catching it. When potatoes.
are worth $3.50 a bushel it is a good
thing for the mar who raises them,
but hard on the nan who has to
buy them. When the salaried man
can buy a barrel of good apples for
$I.5o the man with the orchard is
lodging the sheriff. The rain
which makes n mans pasture
green spoils his neighbours hay.
and when wheat men are buying
pianos and Surveys and starting
national banks the day laborer
grunts at the price of -four. A pc.
Rod of hard times makes work and
prosperity for lawyers, and a set Of
aching molars a paying job for the
dentist; the undertaken thrives dur
ing epidemics and fatalities to hui
man life, while sickness and super
stition of people make millionaires
of the patent medicine men. The
intensely cold weather builds up
the fortune Of the coal man, and
when people are dying Of sun stroke
the iceman is charging his bank
account, and so it goes, the mis-
fortunes and dire needs of some
insuring good times and prosperi-
ty for others.
