Beginning with the increase of cent
a pound on the wholesale price of beef,
within the past fortnight there has been
\ general advance in the prices of nearly
all the necessities of lfe--milk, butter,
eggs bread, fruit, canned goods, etc The
increased price Of fruit and vegetables is
credited to a short crop in nearly all sea-
tions, due to an exceptionally dry SUM-
mer The price of milk has been advanc-
ed in several cities to 8 cents a quart,
retail. During the season there has been
a 20 per cent advance in the price OF
canned goods of the best quality, and it is
said that the pure food law is partly re-
sponsible for this by compelling the re
trement OF many cheap mad adulteratea
articles. The tomato crop is said TO he 90
per cent short, and this. too, will figure
in the increased price OF canned Tomatoes,
which are expected 10 20 from 81 cents to
81 a dozen, wholesale. Sweet corn in
the can has already gone from 40 10 %
cents a dozen. Prnnes are expected to
advance ope-third over the average price
for the past five years. as the crop is only
little more than onc-tbird of last years
Peas and beans will share in the general
upward trend.

MISSOURI RIVER IN 1857.

In that Year q Boat Made $50 Miles
I'm sixty Hours.
For instance: The fastest time that
has ever been made on the Missouri
River was made In 1857 by the steamer
James II. Lucas, which made the run
between ST. Louis and ST. Joseph in
two days and twelve hours, running day
and night. says the Kansas City Star.
In 1856 the steamer Polar Star, own
ed by Capt. Thomas Briefly, made the
run from ST. Louis to st Joseph in
two days and twenty hours, breaking
all previous records. So proud were the
citizens of st. Joseph that they. gave
Capt. Briefly a magnificent pair of elk
horns, silver mounted, bearing plate
telling of the feat. The understand
ing was that Capt. Briefly was in turn
to give the horns to the captain of any
boat which beat his record. Immedi-
ateiy there was the tiercest kind Of
rivalry to beat the Polar Stars rec
ord.
The Martha Jewett tried it as soon
as navigation opened in the spring OF
1857, but could not make it in less than
three days That spring the fine side
wheel boat, James III. Lucas, appeared
on the river, and Capt Andy Wineland
of Lexington, who owned the Lucas,
decided to take the horns away from
Capt. Brieriy. Accordingly, with pick
ed crew, picked fuel and everything fit
he started from st. Louis and arrived
at St Joseph in exactly two days and
twelve hours, beating the Polar Stars
record by eight hours.
The news of the quick time the Lu-
cas- was making attracted big crowd
to the levee. The demonstration that
greeted the Lucas was one the like of
which will never be seen along the riv-
err again. 1t happened that the Polar
Star was at st. Louis at the time and
Capt Briefly gave the silver-mounted
elk horns, emblematic of victory, to
Capt. Wineland. The formal presen-
tation was made by a Miss Fox of St.
Joseph, who read a poem especially
written for the occasion.
Several other boats tried to beat the
record of the Lucas, but none has ever
been successful. One boat, the Lucy
Bertram, was ahead of the time of the
Lucas to Boonville, but there the boil-
ers burned out.
The distance travelled by the Lucas
from st. Louis to st. Joseph was ap-
proximately $50 miles and the average
speed made was eight miles an hour.
The Chester might beat that record DS-
an hour or two running with a light
cargo, but no boat has beaten 1t in fifty
years and 1t may always stand as the
record for the river.
With all the progress made in me-
chanics in fifty years, this fact is a
comment on the neglect OF river navi-
cation.

An American woman writing in the
London Telegraph says that there are
about a half million farm laborers
among the women of the United States,
and yet, she says, we grow very indig-
nant when we see women working in
the fields in Europe. One woman in
every five in the United States earns
her own living, ard yet it is supposed
to be very chivalrous nation, and
much sympathy is given to the poor
foreign woman who must do the things
that have to be done in her particular
environment.

DR.. Albert Murphy, of Rochester,
says soup is one of the worst things
known for the digestion, and should
never be given to children. Germans,
who seldom sit down to the dinner
table without soup, will scarcely agree
with him. He is also opposed to
spaghetti, which he says is without nu-
tritiye qualities and indigestible, and
attributes the poor health of the Ital-
ians to their love for this dish.

MOfheFs.

Bor several years past in families
of all grades the old-time respect, con-
sideration and difference due from
daughters to their mothers has been
noticeably diminishing, says the New
York Sun. This fact remains urcon-
tradicted, whether the mother as a
woman represents the highest social
position or happens to be an humble
working woman. Mothers are frankly
willing to admit their personal mortifi-
cations over this matter, and quite as
frankly express their Indignation at
the position their daughters have plac-
ed them in, and are aghast at the
progress made in the evolution Of this
unlovely and unnatural characteristic.
