THE FARMERS’TRUST.
A convention of farmara met in
Topekit, Kan., on Wednesday last to
organize a Farmer*’ Trnst. It was
well attended, representatives being
present from about all the Western
States. The trust was formed and
will aoon be in operation.
The originators of this trust be
lievo that farmers can, to a very
great extent, control tbe prices of
their products by limiting competi
tion. They will do Ibis by watching
tbo umkets closely tLrough their
agents. When the markets are dull,
and the supply fully equal to the de
manJ, they will withhold their prod
nets, and when it is active, and the
■apply insufficient, they will furnish
wbst is needed in snch quantities as
will not ?ause n break in prices.
They also propose to save cornmis
sions by employing tbe>r own agents
to handle their prodnets. They eeti
mate the earing in commissions alone
at millions of doilais annually.
This trust is certainly a big bnsi
ness undertaking, the snccess of
which is extremely doubtful. The
originator of it is Col. Walter N, A1
len, of Kansas, who has been a lead
ing farmer in that State for many
Yosts. He is very enthusiastic, and
has induced a great many farmers
to believe that tbe trnst is a
feasible business enterprise. He
doubtless got his idea of it from the
numerous trusts which have been
formed within the last year or two
io different parts of the country,
such as tbo Standard Oil Trust, the
Sugar Trust, the Coffee Trust; etc.,
but to make tbe Farmers’ Trust a
success it will reqmro a great deal
more business talent than is nccessa
ry to direct nny one of the other
trnsts.
The Scigur Trust, for instance,
ouly embraces a few sugar refineries,
and tbe Cotton Seed Oil Trust about
ninety cotton seed oil mills, but the
Fanners' Trnst, in order to influ
euce the market in the least, must
coufrol tbe products of tens
of thousands of farmers- How
will it be possible to bring
so many men into an organization so
that they will act harmoniously to
gellier? Of course there will be
agencies in ali ihe cities and larger
towns, and it may be that the trust
will have representatives in every
county in the district within its juris
diction, but will it not be difficult, if
not impossible, to get competent men
for all these positions, and if they
can be obtained, will it not be ex¬
tremely difficult tc so direct them
that they will act in harmony and
secure the objects aimed at.
The other trusts that are now at¬
tracting so large & share of public at¬
tention are no doubt robbing the
farmers, and the farmers feel that
they must do something for self pro
tcclion, but can they get the desired
protection foom this trust? The
chances arc they cannot. The trust
is certain to be unwieldy, and it will
#
be about impossible to bring into it
enough farmers to affect the market
beneficially. The necessities ol lour
fifths of them will compel them to ac
cept whatever prices tbev can
They cancot afford to hold their
crops until they can command .-itis-
faetory prices, anJ, besides, ihe com¬
petition with which they have to ,
contend is not wholly domestic. 1 he
pi ices of their wheat is fixed in I.tver
pool, and there they have to compete I
M-. with a 4 I . I tbe Vt.i wheat n- a A * producers aOV nrtfi ISA? of t India 1 n /v - ..

robbing them arc protected from ccm
petition by the high protective tariff,
and hence they meet »i;h some *ac-

cheaper. If they can can get the
prices of things they hare to buy re
duced they will be just as well off as
it they should get better price s for
what they have toaeii. There s an
other thing they can do. They can
insist upoa legislation tl.at will de¬
stroy the trusts which oppress them*
The development of their trus r
scheme will be watched with great
interest, but it is doabtful if confi¬
dence in ihe success of i! is very
atrong.
The Washington Post states edito
riolly that the President seriously
considered bnt two name*, those of
Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Fuller, in con
nection with the Chief Justiceship.
It was deemed best that the country
should not be deprived of the politi
cal services of Mr. Carlisle, and this
decision gave the pooitiou to Mr,
Foller. It was probably the Goes*
work Club which gave Mr. Phelps
prominence. _
I Is a C arious Fac
That the body is now more susceptible other to
benefit from medicine than at dl anv sea¬
son. Henee the importance taking Hood’*
Sarsaparilla now, when it will do yon the
most rood. It in really wonderful blood, sor puri
fying and enriching the creating an
appetite, and giving a healthy tone to the
whole system- Be sure to get Hood’s Sarsa¬
parilla, which is peculiar lo itself. (a i
The Llama of South America.
The llama is covered with a very fine
silky hair or woo!, which is not shed like
th»7 \A the camel, but when property
cared for grow s to a length of from three
to four inches. The finest is on the legs.
Tito animal rarely produces more than
one young at a time, the period of gesta¬
tion being six months, and it comes to
maturity at three years of age. The In¬
dians are very fond <>f the meat, esteem¬
ing it beyond that of any other animal.
They dry it in quantities, and they regard
the soup made from it as a sovereign
remedy in nearly all cases of sickness.
At ordinary labor the llama will last for
twelve years, but those which are used in
the mines do not live longer than three
or four years, in consequence of infirmity
caused bv the sulphurous exhalations.—

The Coinle Actor.
‘•What comic actor,” writes Aurelien
Scholl in his preface to a volume of re¬
membrances by Galipaux, ‘'does not de¬
pend to a great extent Hvaeinthe up-on some relied gro-
tesqueness of person?
on his nose; Ravel on his curious figure;
Baron had an impediment in his speech,
which was worth 60.000 francs a year;

Death Statement,
Tabulated statements prepared show for
computing rates for life insurance,
the largest per centage of deaths occur
between the ages of 5 au J 18 months,

Whftt I* n I*rofeMlon«l?
I was singing at an afternoon party,
«nd I was the only “professional” there.
A little boy played the violin. I remarked
to my hostess that the boy showed
signs of great promise. “Is he a pro¬
fessional?” I asked. “Oh! no,” said my
hostess; “he's the eon of n gentleman!”
The dear lady meant no offense, she only
meant that the father was a man of
means; but that she should have put it
in the way she did and made the remark
to the only professional in the room was,
perhaps, unfortunate. Nervousness blurt some¬
times causes people to out most in¬
convenient truths, I arrived once at a
house toeing at an “At Home.” My
host was a very nervous, shy man. I
remarked: “You have two grand, pianoa
in your drawing rooms, I see.” Oh'—
oh!—ye—yes!'' said my host. “We
hired the one that's open for this after¬
noon. Sly wife said, ‘We can’t let Cor-
ney Grain play on our llost pian->.’ Ha!
ha! ha!” I laughed a hollow * -ha! ha!
ha!" and went meekly to nay hired com¬
panion for the afternoon. Sometimes
ladies sidle up and say in an undertone :
“Be merciful, Mr. Grain, our piano is a
new one.” “Oh! pray don't apologize,”
1 reply, “it’ll do well enough for my
work.”—Murray's Magazine.

within the limits of etiquette to ask a
visitor to take a Lath; yet many a con*

an imnie' -iun would, for obvious reasons,
be of the most benefit, the statesman
wisely refrains from an im itation par¬

Diseases
In the realm of disease the facts of la.
herisan.-e are most numerous and are daily
•ocumol&tlnf V-we. alas, they become ter-
rible, fateful .-crwhelrnSug. No fact of
nature Is jtv- -natit with awful mean¬
ing than th< f the Inheritance of
disease. It n.- -• physician on his daily
rounds, paralysing his art and filling him
with dismay. The legend of the ancient
Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing
famine* from generation to generation,
rendering them desolate. The Furies still
ply their work of terror and death, but they
are not now clothed in the garb of supersti¬
tion, but appear in the more intelligible but
no less awful form of hereditary disease.
Modern science, which has Illuminated so
many dark corners of nature, has shed a
new light on the ominous words of the
Scripture*, “The sins of the fathers shall be
Tisited Upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation.” Instances of hereditary
disease abound. Fifty per cent, of cases of
consumption, that fearful destroyer of fami¬
lies, of cancer and scrofula, run in families
through inheritance. Insanity is hereditary
In a marked degree, but, fortunately, like
many other hereditary diseases, tends to
wear itself out, the s’--'It becoming extinct.
A distinguished identist truly says: “No
organ or texture of the 1 - ,!y is exempt from
the chance of being the subject of hereditary
disease.” Probably re re chronic diseases,
which permanently modify the structure
an.l functions of the body, are mors or less
liable to lie Inherited. The- important and
rar-reachlng practical deductions from such
facts—affecting so powerfully the happiness
of individuals and families and the collective
welfare of tbe nation—are obvious to reflec¬
ting minds, and tbo best means for prevent¬
ing or curing these diseases is a subject of
Intense interest to all. Fortunately nature
has provided a remedy, which experience
has attested as Infallible, and the remedy is
the world famous Swift's Specific, a pare
vegetable compound—nature's antidote for
all blood poisons. To the afflicted If is a
blessing of inestimable value. An Interest¬
