The Ready-Made Age.

trOm the AllduLiC olOHtnlys
Though we, the people of the United
States, boast of our individuality, we are
regarded today by those who cater to
our wants as an absorbent mass rather
than as discriminating units. Great
agencies OF supply give US a range Of
selection. 1t is true. But each differen-
tiation is the standard choice Of SO large
number that 1t becomes class by it
self. Take. for example, those commodi-
ties and needs concerning which our per-
sonal taste is naturally selective. and we
see that they are supplied-but to a mil
lion or so others as well.
In foods, we are shipped trainloads Of
ready -to-eat, sometimes predigested break
fast foods, biscuits. meats, soups and des-
serts In clothes, all of us who are not
museum freaks are offered ready-to-wear,
uniformly designed suits. shirts, under
wear collars, hosiery and shoes. In med
icines, ready-to- alleviate dopes cure all
diseases and produce a host of rural GEN.
tenarians. In travel. we are urged to
join ready-to-start excursions and parties
to every quarter of the habitable globe.
In music the ready-to-grind monographs
and pianolas have given the art of the
few to the mob. In education, the
ready-to-ft curriculums of our great col
leges, business and correspondence
schools are adapted to every youth in the
land who is not an idiot In dwellings,
the ready-for-anybody fiat is making a
whirlwind obliteration Of the American
home.
All, all is ready prepared. But these
are only an indication. Everywhere we
seem to be credited with an appetite for
uniformties in bulk. In the industrial
sphere the urgency OF making standard
articles for the multitude has forced the
hurried and ill-favored growth of vast
corporations trust and "monopolies.
In the dramatic, the combines. supplying
the whole country with it's run of melo-
| dramas, farces, comedies and vaudeville
| performances, plead the generality Of our
! taste. Sameness in our food. clothing.
| medicine and musical performance, for
! illustration, need not be, but 1t may be,
| a sign Of enslavement in more senses
than one.

Led by the Nose.
From the Dundee Advertiser.

An analytical chemist was retained az
a skilled witness some years ago, where
there were questions of analytical chem
istry. There was one case where farm
er had bought some artificial manure. and
he was being sued for the price of 1t.
He resisted payment on the ground that
the material had none of the qualities OF
manure at all. The expert chemist was
one of the witnesses, and had stated that
although the substance had the smell, II
had none OF the chemical qualities OF
manure. Under cross-examination he was
asked. If that was SO. how did he &C
count for hundreds of the best farmers
having taken the manure for many years.
They must have been led by the nose.
