AS gigantic as was the fine of &29.
24O, 900 imposed upon the Standard
Oil Co by Judge Lands, it is only a
drop in the bucket compared to the
aggregate amount of fines that would
pile up against John ID IS concern If
it should be found guilty of all the
counts now pending. The Standard
Oil Co. is under indictment on over
3. 900 counts of rebsting. the crimes
charged being in nearly every in
stance identical to those for which
Judge Lands assessed a fine of $780,
900 each. If the Chicago judges fine
should be taken as a standard, and
the oil trust should be found guilty
on each county, the aggregate would
be above the $50. 900. 900 mark.

Let us see what a good printer can
do and does do every working day of
his life. says an exchange. He takes
manuscript, the chirography Of
which would make the lid of Chinese
tea chest blush with envy, translates
it into the vernacular as he goes
along, corrects the spelling and gram
mar, and very often the rhetoric, and
turns it out-not as the author wrote
it, but as he intended 90 write. He
sets up in type better English than
most men write He can detect errors
of facts as well as of style. He can
give the sporting editor points on
horses and the religious editor on
theology. He can appreciate the
merits of discussion on the tariff,
and detect the fallacies in profound
leader on economics; and he can do
more hard and intelligent work, if he
has to, than any other craftsman.

The political sensations of the week
are the publication of letters from
Congressman Robert q. Cousins of the
fifth district and b. f. Birdsell of
the third district declining to stand
for denomination. Mr.. Cousins is
serving his eighth term aud has been
recognized as one of the most bril-
liant orators in congress. Mr.. Bird
sell has served since the retirement of
Col. Henderson and has been cap
able and efficient member. Both re-
tire to give attention to personal bust
ness. In both districts there will be
a lively scramble for the nomination
as their successors.

it may be said that congress is dis.

twelfth census there is hardly any Of
such Importance to the American peo-

gathered with the scrupulous care that
has characterized all the enumerations
of the latest census, it reveals the ex-
lstence of conditions making strongly
against the continued prosperity of the
United States and its continued prog

reference is to the special report on

may be asked, in population exceed

ly assumes another aspect when it Ia
observed that in 1890, the year Of the

that, ten years earlier, the asylum

The Marrying Age.

It has often been said that "a WON.
an is no older than she looks;" and
this Is really true. Some women are
younger at 40, in appearance and man.
ner, than others are at 30. In this
connection 1t is proper to consider the
most suitable age for woman to
marry. This depends upon circum
stances, for the reasons above given.
A generation ago. when 25 was not far
from the average marrying age, a
woman may have been considered
verging on old maidhood at 80. Now.
adays, however, the tendency is to
marry late rather than early in life,
and the sensible woman who at 35
finds herself still unwed by no means
despairs of being led to the altar. AS
q matter of fact, the majority Of men
only consider a woman old when she
Is close to the fifties, ard even then
they often find attractive qualities In
her which younger women lack. Gone
are the days when man regarded
youth and beauty as essential to the
happiness of married life. He looks
for o matured, steady and practical
mind, usually found in the woman OF
35 and 40, and forgets her age. Where
women make the greatest mistake,
however, Is in trying to appear
younger than they generally are, thus
placing themselves in false position
and utterly marring whatever other
charms they may possess, says the
New York Weekly. No woman, Of
course, likes to advertise her age, and
she owes it to herself not to add to
the same by unsuitable or Cowdy
dress, for instance. On the other
hand, 1t is ridiculous for her to en-.
deavor to take five or ten years off her
age by dressing in the garb Of a
younger sister, and striving to cover
telltale wrinkles with powder and
rouge. Men easily see through such
artifices and regard the woman who
practices the same with feeling bor-
dering on contempt.

How Monopolies Are Assisted.

During the past few months, mail
order houses located in the large
cities have been making more than
ordinary efforts to gain trade. These
efforts have been stimulated by the
panicky times. Residents of agricul.
tural communities should understand
that concentration of money in large
financial centers was the main cause
of bringing on the financial depression
They should also understand that the
mail order system is one of the most
potent factors in this concentration !;
that this system draws the life-blood,
the surplus money, from communities
where 1t is earned, taking 1t out OF
local circulation and using 1t to build
up monopolies in the large cities.
