WHAT IT SAYS. Some Financial and Social Views of a Well Posted New York . House. 1 FRIDAY, June 28, 1893-Clapp & Co's weekly letter says : That-The undeveloped pro blems of humanity appeal power ly to all constructive instincts, the fact that vessels carrying 'e British flag cleared in 1892 rom United States " ports a ton nage four times as great as that of American vessels on all our rivers, lakes, and harbors, suggest im perative demand for a revival of our American merchant marine. That-The South appears" gridironed with railroads, that start howhere and .end nowhere, and unless constructive, ] con centrating^ and consolidating pro cesses can go on, they may pos sibly go into liquidation and prove . a blanket on all efforts to reinstate ^ finances. That-It is too early for es timates of the cotton erop to be of value, but if present crop estimate of 7,150,000 bales is verified, 9 cent cotton may seem cheap in October. That-The bulls' argument of a -10 per cent, shortage in the world's crop of wheat may have sufficient merit to offset financial pressure on the carriers of large stocks in sight in America, and wheat may & follow the course of cotton which > was apparently in a- similar posi tion about a year ago. That-Vigorous selling of Octo ber, November and January provisions may reduce the bull clique's nerve, and release their hold on values. That-It is said 8 cents cash last yearrepresented the money in every dollar's worth of business done, and 92 cents, represented the credit used. We believe there ie no reason to think there is any less money now, but being at a loss to estimate the depreciation in credit we cannot well predict future prices. Yours truly, ' CLAPP & COMPANY. A naturalist's paper relates an interesting instance of a toad's cunning. A brood of chickens was fed with moistened meal in sau cers, and when the dough soured a little it attracted large numbers of flies. An observant toad had evidently noticed this, and every day toward evening he would make his appearance in the yurd, hop to a Va?c^c?4iiif3-in--- and - rolL-ovar. over until he . was covered with meal, having done which he await ed developments. The flie3, en ticed by the smell, soon swarmed around the scheming batrechian, and whenever one passed within two inches or so of his nose his tongue darted out and the fly dis appeared. The plan worked so well that the toad made a regular busi ness of it. A Western editor apologizes to his readers somewhat after this fashion : "We expected to have a death and a marriage to .publish this week, but a violent storm prevented the wedding and, the doctor being taken sick himself, the patient recovered, and we are accordingly cheated out of both." In the United States there are, it is said, but three women who own, publish, and edit political newspapers. One of the three is Mrs. Mary Virginia Proctor of Lebanon. "?., editor, propietor and business manager of the Lebanon Patriot, the Democratic organ of Warren County. A great deal of unpleasent odor from boiling vegetables may be may be avoided by putting a piece of bread into the water with the) vegetables. Elmer James committed suicide i n'a peculiar way, at Atlantic City N. J., on Monday. He tied weights to his feet and jumped out of a boat into the occean, sinking im mediately. Six brothers were standing un der a tree near Adrian, Mo., .dur ing a storm on Thursday. A stroke of lightning instantantly killed four of them and seriously injured the other two.

Happy and content is a home with "The Re .ichester;'* a lamp with the light of the morning Tor Catalogne, write Rochc?ter Lamp CO.,New otic. I The Too Cute Opossum. A railroad train on the West Shore Railroad recently ran over an opossum. The suicide occurred directly in front of a small station. How the little animal happened to be caught was a mystery .which was debated by the commuters who gathered to catch an early morning train. ; No satisfactory explanation was evolved until an old darky came along en route'to work. When he saw the mangled corpse his eyes began to bulge and his lips to water. "How did that 'possum get kill |ed? uncle?" asked one of the by tstanders. "Why youse oughter know dat," I cried Uncle JToe. "You sees he was comm* ober de tr ak and when he sees de light of de engine he gets scared arid he done goes and plays 'possum and pretends he is dead, [and zipl along comes de engine and he is dead fo' sure," and Uncle Joe gathered up tho remnants and carefully wrapped them in an old newspaper, and went off softly humming "When de corn is in de tassel, den de'possums in de corn." Whatever convenience may be thought. to be in falsehood and dis simulation, it is soon over ; but the inconvenience of it is perpetual be cause it brings a man under ever lasting jealousy and suspicion so that he is not believed when he [speaks the troth, nor.trusted when [perhaps he means honestly.

PARTICULARS PATEN T S, For lnventions]Procured^by the PRESS CLAIM COMPANY, Equal with the interest of those having claims against the Gov- j ernment is that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit ef valua ble inventions because of the incompetency or inattention of the at- j torneys employed to obtain their patents. Too much care cannot be | exercised in employing competent and reliable solicitors to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney.
