WORRYING ABOUT SHOES.

A large proportion of humanity goes barefoot. Another large portion wear sandals or some substitute for leath- CT. and 1t would seem that many more must get into one of the former class es If q Wisconsin shoe dealer is cor rect in his theories and predictions. He reasons that the great increase in the use of vegetables and cereals as human food has brought about corr meats of all kinds. This means that fewer cattle and other food animals are being killed, and as consequence there is less leather. and this, added to the increase in population portends, a time when many who now wear shoes win be compelled to go without or find a substitute fir leather.
 All this looks unfavorable for those who may not be able to pay the higher prices that will follow serious and increasing diminution of the leather output. StiIi we needn't become dis which may intervene before we find ourselves shoeless. The anti-meat fad may wear itself out after while and people will become so meat hungry that they will turn to and raise cat tie enough to shoe all creation. If this does not happen. science and in- vention may find a substitute for leather from which shoes and boots may be made without limit. If the worst comes to the worst we suppose people may go barefoot, as the first did, and as millions now do, or wear sandals, as many other millions do. It is rather early to worry over the foot wear of the distant future.

Some of our contemporaries are in- fact that the Maine Democrats made substantial gains in the local elections just held, but we see no cause for en- couragement in that fact.

The quantity of pension legislation passed through Congress with absurd ease and a pension list of S14o,O00, 900 8 year in this country inspires The Toronto Sun to remark: If Democ- racy means the government of public opinion as contrasted with that of force. hereditary privilege. or class in I. terest. we may hope and believe that it has come to stay.

Speaking of Foraker's bill to ap- propriate money to mark the Confed- crate graves in the North. The Port land oregonian somewhat hippantly asks. why spend the public money for such purpose? Is net the country already sufficiently burdened to pro- vide pensions and monuments for its defenders, without spending anything for the posthumous glory of it's ene- mies?"
 Such questions and intimations are not creditable to a newspaper so gen. orally fair and broad minded as The oregonian. If all the money stolen from the pension fund by grafters and looters, and all the pensions paid to persons who have neither legal nor moral right 10 them could he used for that purpose, 1t would erect a hand some monument over the grave of every Confederate buried in any North ern State. A great newspaper should be above such petty sectionaIism.

PRUDY FORD SUICIDES.
Innocence of the Girl Is Proven-Her
Case Stirs Hartford.

Prudy Ford, who drowned herself
at Hartford, KY, because of charge
made against her that she had stolen
property and money from her room
mate, was unjustly accused. The
watch and clothing she was supposed
to have taken were found later, as
well as $40 that was missing with
them. They were recovered by the
woman with whom she boarded and
who, it now also appears, was really
responsible for the indignity heaped
upon the young schoolgirl.
A letter Of Miss Ford to her sweet
heart told the mental anguish OF
which she was the victim. 1t said in
part: Il will end my life rather than
have false charge brought against
me. | am innocent, as God is my
Judge. have been loyal girl since
| entered school and have been true
to my maker and to myself. 1 die with
this sentiment ringing in my ears

LONDON'S WHEAT MARKET.
Grain Trade Has Two Branches c
EXCHANGES,

Exchanges.
There are two distinct branches of
the grain trade in London, and two
markets or exchanges. Mark Lane, in
Mark Lane street, originally known as
the corn market" is the market for
spot stuff" that is, grain or -four on
the spot, in vessels just arrived or in
warehouses on the docks. The tran
sactions are AL of a jobblng nature
in parcels" consisting of 1000 to TO-
600 or more sacks $3.50 pounds) Of
-four, or 1000 bushels and upward of
grain.
The other market is the Baltic" t..
e., the Baltic Mercantile Il Shipping
Exchange. This is ''the home of float
ing cargoes," and its members buy
grains and other products in the mar
kels of the world for shipment to Lon
don in cargo lots. The entire cargo,
however, is not necessarily all the
property of one house.
There has evolved from the Baltic
grain market, of necessity, the Corn
Trade association, which is probably
one of the most perfect working and
useful trade organizations in the
world. 1t has established uniform con
tracts for use with the different grain
exporting countries, it fixes the stand
ard of grades, except with America ano
Canada, and arbitrates all differences
between buyer and seller.
There is no future" market in Lon
don similar to the pit of the Chicago
Board of Trade, the Minneapolis Cham
Der of commerce and other American
exchanges. Both the Baltic and Mari
Lane had future markets, where hede
ing and speculative trading was done
until some four or five years ago, o
until America ceased to be a large ea
porter of wheat. American wheat wa
at that time the basis for trading. Now

CURE CONSUMPTION BY COLOR.
White Clothing Recommended for the
Patient.


The Practitioner, the favorite organ
of many medical societies in London,
has been making many experiments
which tend to show that color has a
favorable effect on consumption. The
theory is that light has a favorable
effect on sufferers from pulmonary
troubles, and that this presumably is
due to the bactericidal action of the
rays. From this it has been inferred
that the clothing of consumptives
should be of such nature as to al
low the light to penetrate with the
least amount of interference. For this
purpose white stuffs are best, and
therefore it is contended that con-
sumptives should wear clothing Of
white linen, velvet, cotton or silk.
Next to white, garments Of blue and
violet are to be recommended, though
they do not answer the purpose as
well as white.
