PEOPLE WILL TALK.

You may get through the world, but
twill be very slow
If you listen to all that is said as
you go;
You'll be worried and fretted, and
kept in stew,
For meddlesom tongues must have
something to do
And people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it
presumed
That your humble position is only
assumed;
You're a wolf in sleeps clothing,
or else you're a fool;
But don't get excited, keep perfectly
COOL
For people will talk.
If threadbare your dress and old
fashioned your hat,
Some one will surely take notice of
that,
And hint rather strong that you
can't pay your way;
But don't get excited, whatever you
say
For people will talk.
If your dress is in fashion, don't
think to escape,
For they criticize then in different
shape
You're ahead of your means, or
your tailor's unpaid;
But mind your own business there's
naught to be made
For people will talk.
Now the best way to do is to do as
you please,
For your mind, if you have one, will
then be at ease.
OF course, you will meet with all
sorts of abuse;
But don't think to stop them-it's
not any use
For people will talk.

A curious instance OF the "round-a-
bout" channels OF commerce is given
in the report Of an American consul
stationed in the Malay peninsula.
The Malay peninsula. he states, pro-
duced about 65 per cent Of the wcrlc's
output Of tin. The total production IS
valued at some s4i.O0os0oc
The Unite5 S.ates consumes one
fourth Of this. Now nearly one-half OF
the total exports OF the country to the
Malay peninsula are contained in tin
cans, the same tia sent from them in
the crude form. A great part OF this
export is in one gallon tin buckets con
tanning petroleum. After the contents
Of these cans have been used the ma
tiyes convert them into every conceiv-
able household utensil The interior
OF any Malay or Chinese home in the
peninsula, says the consul, is filed
with American tin cans OF every size
and shape Holes are punched in them
for sleeves, they are fashioned into dust
pans, baking and cooking utensils and
water buckets.
Indeed the demand has become 50
great that it is branching into an in
dustry and many men are employed
in making household utensils out OF
second hand American tin cans, the tin
for which was mined at their very
feet.
