Reforms the thing now, and while
jerome is busy in New York, Folk in
Missouri, and Secretaries Cortelou,
Root, Wilson, and Bonaparte in Wash
ington why shouldn't currency reform
come in for some attention. The de-
mand for currency legislation so ext
gent few years ago, is now about as
much of back number as ''Hiawatha"
or Comrades. The Republican
party in its platform of 1900, declared
that the stability of the gold standard
was an accomplished fact, but the dec
laration has not been borne out by the
facts. The meeting of the National
bankers association in Washington
this week will furnish an opportunity
for discussion CT the question though
tits by no means established that dis.
cussion and reform are the same.

The old fashioned American bee who
was anything but sweet tempered for
all that he could produce honey so
freely, is to be displaced by the Cau-
casus bee, which is less controversial
and quite as busy. The COW, Secre-
tary Wilson predicts, will be displaced
by the more economical, if less phleg-
matte milk producer, the goat. Thus
are mans relations to the domestic
animal world maintained in equilibrium
and his barn yard caution in no wise
relaxed.

The latest development of automo-
bile is designed especially for farm
work and is not only suitable for plow-
ing but may be equipped with a cult
vator and reaper. The machine costs
about 81, 500 and may be operated at q
cost of 81 per acre. Unlike the farm
animal it does not have to be fed an6
if it is liable to accidents, are not also
the common pillow, reaper, cultivator
and are not the four legs of each horse
liable to accident?
