The Unsettled Condition

The conditions in this country
are anomalous. The cost of living
has reached dizzy heights and many
wonder how they can meet expenses,
and yet there are thousands upon
thousands of men out on strikes
not working-and yet live. There
are profiteers and yet the demands
of the profiteers are met and nobody
able and willing to work is poor
house bound. Everybody appears
to be restless and dissatisfied and
yet the banks have more money on
deposit than eyer before. Every
body appears ready to grab all in
sight and then to give with liberal
hand. 1t is a peculiar. "A contra
dictory situation. Most everybody
Is prosperous and most everybody
complaining at the unsettled, I'M
satisfactory business conditions.
Everybody seems anxious for more
settled business conditions and yet
grab feyerishly at what is in sight
in apparent fear that when normal
conditions return opportunity will
have passed forever.
1t is allso funny in a way and
yet so Observation-Disclosures.

turn. What pleasure l have experience
ed in your company, what delight in
the exchange of sentiment, what
transport in the testimonies of mutual
love! In a short time this, with the
permission of Heaven, will be renew
ed, and / shall be happy. To be united
in mutual, virtuous love is the first
and best bliss God has permitted to
our natures. Ny dearest one, may our
love strengthen with each returning
day, may it ripen and mellow with
our years, and may it end in immortal
joys. It gives me much satisfaction
that time and absence make no i'm
preston on my love for you; it glows
with no less ardor than at the moment
of parting, which must ba a happy
omen of its permanent nature. When
mere personal charms attract, the
impression may be violent but cannot
be lasting, and it requires the perpet-
ual presence of the object to keep it
alive; but when the beauty of mind,
the soft and sweet disposition, the
amiable and lovable character embel-
lished with innocence and cheerful
ness are united to the attractions OF
personal beauty, it bids defiance to
time. Such, my dear Floride, are the
arms by which you have conquered,
and it is by these the durability Of
your sovereignty is established over
your subject whom you hold in will
ing servitude.

Machine Eradicates Weeds

A machine which exterminates
weeds in cultivated fields by taking
up strips of soil, pulverizing it, and
returning it through sive, is des-
cribed, with illustration, in the De-
cember Popular Mechanics Magazine,
as a late addition to the implements
of farming. A fiat plowshare cuts a
ribbon of soil which passes over the
plow onto toothed drum that shreds
it and returns about 60 per cent OF
the earth to the field. The rest goes to
a separating device, where 20 per
cent. more soil is reclaimed, and the
residue then passes into abig revolv-
ing sieve, through which all the dirt
falls, while the weeds are hoisted in
to a conveyor and elevated to wa
gon.
