The Pasture on the Other Side of the Fence. Two foolish horses. I ?n< %? saw a picture of two horses standing/ on the opposite side of a fence that separated two quite sim ilar pastures- thinking" it better than his own pasture. There is a great deal of unrest to day in our agriculture, more than feny other profession, in fact does our agriculture conceive that it getting the worst end of these untoward postwar conditions. This agricultural unrest in the north is as great as it is in the south for the high freight rates have acted especially heavily upon northern agriculture, and "moreover northern agriculture has been largely selling its products to the South and thereby living on the South and this trade has been wholly lost to them, I! "* A General Unrest. The .fact, however, is that untest today extends through all conditions of society, not only in this country hut elsewhere. The manner every where thinks that the merchant is in j better shape and the merchant thinks j than he is and the m?rchant thinks that the manufacturer's condition is i the better; labor thinks that capital | is better off and capital is pretty sure that labor is getting the better end of things. The condition, how ever of capital and labor illustrates quite well the whole situation. The "bonds and stocks of capital are sell ing at lowest levels and losses in all v. these things have been simply infinite On the other hand there are more than five millions of idle laborers today--men with families to support and men who have been without jobs possibly for months and months. Many of these men, indeed, are get ting their food largely in bread lines. The fact is that there is no safe place and no safe profession to day in the land which carries a guar antee against loss. As to southern agriculture, its position and its future is a better one than is northern ag_ \ riculture for the southern farmer can live at home while the northern farmer cannot do so and northern farmer's land costs from five to ten times more dollars per acre than does the land of the southern far mer.

A thorough 'business man, a friend bf mind,''-has just returned from a trip to northern New York, the middlewest and the northwest. He told me yesterday . that the weevil cotton south was in no worse condition than were the states which he visited. "I saw there just as much frozen credits and past '*j\ve debtSj just as many pecuniary losses and just as much dishearten ing conditions as obtained Jrere. "Moreover," said he, "I found there | possibler ten times the idleness that exists here." Said he, "The North, in every way, is just as hard hit, and possibly more so than is the South arid I believe there are more factors of safety and recovery here than exists there. Migration, for example on the part of anyone of any pro fession and black or white from the South to the North just now would "in my opinion be foolish." Stick to Your Job. The moral of all this is that if you have got a job ?hen stick to it and work out your salvation as best you can just where you are. If you are in some present work then you have a niche and a place and there may not be a niche and a place for you somewhere else. You know the "habitat and enviroment in which you live. You do not know the habitat and enviroment of other places. You have your circle of friends about you, You have no friends, in yonder place. Gets Us Nowhere. This general unrest in peoples' minds really gets us nowhere. It is all simply like the wear and tear of a grindstone on our souls. The truth is too, that life was not intended to be an easy thing-life was intended to be a struggle. The unrest of the Russian people got them nowhere nor did the recent unrest and up risings of Italy do them, too, any thing but harm. Social unrest in the world is largely giving away to so^ berer thought and it is time for our financial unrest and economic unrest too follow suit. And whether we be lieve it or not and whether we ac cept it or not the fact is that the very hest thing for all of us to do today is to graze in our own pastures and to give the best genius and the best devotion that is in us to the work at hand.

Textile Chemist in London Daily Mall. Most people consider the "wearing out" of clothes as something which is unavoidable, inconvenient, but not worthy_of attention. Yet the why and wherefore of this "wearing out" are full of interest. All clothes wear out through expo sure to sunlight, air, rain, mechanical strain and bacterial action. Of these sunlight is by far the most harmful. Hence clothes not in use should be stored in the dark. But light is selective in the ac tion. A dark fabric is less affected than one which is highly colored. So that a Briton's love for drab-colored clothing cannot entirely be condemn ed. Moreover, red and yellow light are less destructive' than the blue, violet and ultraviolet light. Not all fabrics are affected alike, for while wool and silk rapidly de teriorate in strong sunlight, cotton and linen are much more resistant. In spite of this, however, it would not be economical to use all cotton clothing, since colors fade more rap idly on cotton than wool. When .1 ! dyed woolen fabric is exposed ^to j sunlight, the fabric is attacked first, and the dye is thereby partly pro tected. In the cotton fabric the dye protects the cotton. Acourse dress material is more resistant than a fin?"*one to sunlight. Clothes are not much affected by pure rain and air. In manufacturing towns, however, the atmosphere is often slightly acid, and it is then practically destructive to- wool. Cotton and woolen fibres are very elastic and strong. They can with stand a' great deal of rubbing. So that generally is it not until clothes have suffered from exposure to sun light that fail to resist the strains caused by ordinary wear. It pays most people to notice how their clothes wear. But dyers are more concerned, since the fastness of the dyes used must be appropri ate to the life of the fabric.
