Saturday Evening Post: Mr.. ingalls,,
formerly president of the Big Four,
sees a condition of danger in the fact
that low income bearing securities of
gilt-edge quality are less easily absorb
investor. according to Mr. ingalls,, is
taking larger risks. and feels that he
must make his money yield or per
cent instead of , or 4. 1t costs him
more to live. and hence he is now
tempted by speculative investments.
AS a people. we are speeding up. and
the pace affects the small people as
well as the rich and great. Prosperity
is hard on the prudent, small investor.
High prices don't hurt the wage-earner,
so long as he can force up his wages;
the increase goes to the store and he
comes out even; nor do they hurt the
farmer. who sells his crops; nor are
the rich made to suffer. But high
prices squeeze the little salaried peo-
pie and persons who live on savings
and small Iegacies.
Nothing is palmer in the queer social
mix-up of the present than the decline
of the last class. of the prudent small"
people. They are being showed down
the social scale into the class of I'M
skilled labor, with all the misery of
precarious living. For they can't save.
as they once did. There was a time
when a family income from invest
ments of three or four thousand dollars
a year meant comfort, position in the
community-almost wealth. Industrious
persons on small salaries might hope
to save the capital that would lift them
to that class. But the necessities cost
less then. and the standard of living
was lower.
The country was never so prosper
Gus; il is speeding up all the time.
But the little fellows" can't hold the
pace; it kills them materially and
morally. Will something break? Or
shall we have only two classes-the
rich. who live on the surplus.and the
wage-earners. who live from day to
day and never look beyond?

EngIand's New Coal Fields.

England is now cOngratulating itself
on a discovery that is second only in
importance to the Norman conquest.
A new coal field has been unearthed
about seven miles from Dover and is
said TO be 100 square miles in area. The
coal is estimated to be worth C ,000,-
100000 The Wall Street Summary
says the coal seams were discovered
at a depth of 1.S00 feet, and comprise
20-inch, a 3-foot-4-inch and a 2-foot-G-
inch seam. The coal has been analyz-
ed and is found To be well suited TO
household use 1t is said TO contain
G3 per cent carbon. 50 per cent volatile
matter and only 81 per cent of ash.
Moreover. two important seams of
fire clay, one of four feet and the other
of 2S inches. have also been found
which will make the mining easier and
add to the value of the discovery.

A Small Greenhouse.

To speak of greenhouse suggests
the idea of an expensive building that
requires much labor on the part of
some person to keep in order. While
it Is possible to spend almost any
amount, a very practical house can be
made of hot-bed sash, using the south
piazza as basis for operations. Hot
bed sash, all ready for use, costs from
$325 to $3.50 each, and measures 3x6
feet; the glass in these frames meas
ures 10X12 inches.
Buy the sash first, and then build
according to the number of sash. This
little greenhouse can be heated by a
smokeless blue-fame oil stove without
injury to the flowers.
For a beginner some Of the bulb
family will be best. OF late years,

kinds, freesias and tulips have had a

one that can be well utilized in ordi-

also do the limited amount Of road

This kind of a horse has a place on
farms, and we say is the most val.

concerned. You will note that he par

A huge, finely mounted antlered head
hung just above the sideboard In the
dining-room. This trophy of some
huntsman's skill was fastened so firm

1t with lively curiosity and very evident
uneasiness. 1t looked almost too life
like for comfort.
