The Benefit of Protection.

A forcible example Of the benefit
resulting from protection is afford
ed by the statistics of the manufac-
ture and consumption of wooden
goods in tho United States. The
yearly value Of such manufactures,
including those in which wool is
a component part, is said to be not
less than S175,000,000. OF these
goods more than four-ffths are made
from American woods. The coarse
carpet woods, which are not grown
here at all, the worsted combing
woods, and the fine clothing woods,
which are only grown by us in limit
ed quantities, go to make up the
rest. The annual consumption Of
goods In the United States is estima-
ted to equal S240,OOO,O0O. In 1868
more than S10,OO0,O00 were spent
by US for imported dress goods, while
for imported eassimeres we paid out
nearly 100000. The value of the
worsted manufactures Of England
probably exceeds $100,000,000 1t
was S9U,UUO,UOO IN 1891, and has
since increased largely, being in fact
the great wooden manufacture of the
Kingdom. Thus it may be seen that
of all the $40, 900, 900 worth Of wool
EN- goods consumed in this country,
only S65, 100000 are imported, while
but for protection nearly all must be
made abroad. The st. Louis Journal
Of Commerce, referring to these stats
tics, truly says; of the protective
principle should continue to be the
policy of the Government, this S65,.
100000 that we now pay for foreign
goods will, in all probability, go into
the pockets Of the manufacturer:
here NTH West, and also in the South
where it properly belongs, and where
it should be kept to enrich the coun
try, by assisting in liquidating oul
national debt, and otherwise tighten
ing the burdens Of the American
people, instead of going to support
pampered nobility across the waters.

STRAY LAW AND FORMS.

The Laws of Wisconsin for dis
posing Of stray animals are plain
and comprehensive, and when COM
piled with are alike just to owners
and to those who take up animals, -
The Legislature in 1868-'69 codified
the laws relating to stravs (See
Chapter 81, General Laws of 1869, J
as follows:
SECTION l. No person shall take
up any stray except horses and
mules, unless such person shall be at
the time a resident of the same town
wherein such stray shall be found.
nor unless such stray shall be found
upon tho lands owned or occupied by
the finder.
SEC. 2. Any person taking up a
stray, shall, within seven days
thereafter, notify the owner thereof,
if to him known, and request such
owner to pay all reasonable charges
and take such stray away.
SEC 3. If the owner Of any stray
be unkn own, the finder shall within
ten days after taking up the same,
file notice thereof with the town
clerk of the town, and if the stray or
strays so taken up are of the value
Of less than five dollars, he shall also
post up notices of the taking up of
such stray in two or more public
places in such town; but if the stray
or strays so taken up are Of the value
of more than five dollars, he shall
cause such notice to be published for
four.weeks successfully in some news
paper in the county in which he re-
sides, unless there shall be one
printed still nearer his place of resi-
dence in an adjoining county, in
which case he may publish it in eth
err paper ct his option and in case
there shall be no newspaper print
ed within twenty miles of the resi-
dence Of the finder Of such stray or
strays, he shall post up written no
tees in three of the most public
places in the county in which he re-
sides. All said notices shall contain
q brief description of the stray, de-
scribing the same by giving marks,
natural and artificial, and as near as
practicable, the name and residence
of the finder, and as near as may be
the time at which the same was ia
ken up. The said town clerk shall
transmit a copy of such notice to the
clerk of the board Of county super
visors and any person taking up OF
finding any such stray or strays
who shall neglect or refuse to post
up and publish such notices as pro
vided in this section, shall be liable

SOME FEATURES OF A JEWISH
SABBATH.

Let us accompany a good orthodox
Jewish family through their calm
and cheerful Sabbath, and see how
they keep it and enjoy it. select
orthodox family, instead of A" Re.
formed" merely because the ortho-
dox Jew is an historical person; as
he keeps his Sabbath, his fathers have
kept it for many centuries. The
jewish Sabbath begins on Frid ay
evening half an hour before sunset,
and ends on Saturday evening half
an hour after sunset, or when a star
is visible in the sky. On Friday, the
day Of preparation, the women and
girls of the family are busy in pro-
viding for the morrow the best food
Of the week; for what ever is eaten
or drank during the joyous sacred
hours must be the worry best the fam
lily can afford. Poor Jews will pinch
all the week in order that their wives
and children may have something de-
licious to eat on the Sabbath, but
that savory food must be cooked or
prepared for cooking before the Sab
bath begins; for our Israelitish breth-
rem observe with just strictness the
law which gives rest on the Day of
Rest to their servants. They shame
US in this particular. They will not
use even their horses on their Sab
bath. On a Sunday, about twelve,
NJ, you may see in front of DR..
Adams fashionable Presbyterian
church in Madison Square, New York,
or around DR.. Tying's fashionable
Episcopal church, in st. Georges
Square of the same city, from twenty
to forty wcll-appointed 'equipages
waiting for the last hymn to be fin
ished; but you will never see a vehicle
before the superb Temple Emmanuel,
a jewish synagogue in the Fifth
Avenue, although there are many
families within who could ride home,
if they would, in their own carriages.
| do not say that the christians are
wrong or the Jews right in this. 1t
is no ones business but their own.
But if we borrow the Hebrews word
" Sabbath" and adopt, verbally,
their Sabbatical law, our practice
perhaps ought to conform in some
degree to our profession. 1t proba-
bly, does not severely tax those coach
men and footmen to show off their
gay turnouts and brilliant liveries
OH q fine Sunday morning in the
Fifth Avenue. But for the heavy
laden drudges of the clearinghouse
kitchen, ana the maid-of-all work
average families, | could wish we
were all Jews from Saturday night
till Monday morning. 1t is a das-
tardly shame to compel or permit
women, who have faithfully toiled
for us from Mondays tub to Satur-
days scrub, to work hard all through
the best hours of Sunday merely
that we may gorge ourselves with
dainty food. The Jews avoid this
barbarous meanness. Their servants
rest on their abbath.-From Ar
LANTIC MONTHLY for October.

kD>Public schools are making en-
couraging progress in the capital of
Italy. In 1865 Florence had but
four public schools for boys, and they
had but $50 pupils. Since then the
increase Of attendance has been as
follows In 1866 there were 1888
pupils in 1867, 3,13G; and in 1869
5000. At the present date, there
are in Florence twenty-five public
schools, which are equally divided be-
tween the two sexes, eleven for boys
and eleven for girls. The pupils arc
instructed in reading, writing, arith-
metic, and Italian history, to an ex-
tent which is fixed by law and the
mex year it isproposed to add gcom-
etry to the above. These schools are
in every way gratuitous as regards
instruction, and the city gives to the
poor pupils the necessary books free
of charge.-Aduance.

FACTS AND OpINIoys.--I hate the
shallow Americanism which hopes
to get rich by credit, to get knowl-
edge by raps on midnight tables,
skill witbought study, mastery with
ont apprenticeship, power through
q hacked jury or caucus, or wealth
by fraud. They think they have
got it but they have got something
elsa crime, which calls for another
crime, and another devil behind that !;
these are steps to suicide, infamy,
and the harming OF mankind. In
this life of show, putting, advertise
ment, and manufacture of public
opinion, all excellence is lost sight
OF in the hunger for sudden perform
ance and unearned praise. -Rdtph

pG- Commodore Vanderbilt deserv-
es the thanks Of all Christians. I'm
solicited and without 3 flourish Of
trumpets he has given the handsome
sum of $50, 600 for the endowment
of a free church in New York, based
upon the broadcast eatholicity. A
more iudieiousinvestmenti in heavenly
treasures could hardly be made. The
worst feature of our latter-day Chris
tianity is its expensiveness. When
the Church was founded, religion was
without price now it is the most
costly luxury of the day. Operas
tax the purse less severely. 1t is fast
becoming true that instead of "the
poor ye always have with you" it is
the poor We never have with you
The Commodore has initiated q form
of Christian charity that has in il the
promise of better things.

SrRAcHAN.-The Darlington Re
publican has the following notice Of
John Strachan the democratic nom
inee for Congress from this district :
"Mr. Strachan is white, and q
good business man. He has succeed
ed well in agricultural implement bu-
siness, which he will not be called on
to abandon. The mystery to me-"
as the Widow Bedott would say, is,
that man of his natural shrewdness
should be duped into accepting an
empty compliment from men who
knew and know full we'll that there
was and is no chance for his success,
and who had an eye to grecnbacks,
more than to the style of men they
took in. Keep close hand on your
purse strings, John, or the Congress-
ional fzzle will cost you more than
the MCCormic reaper war. Every
cent you use in the canvass will only
| be to the advantage of men who pity
while they use you. 1t is strange
you can't see what is patent to every
| disintercsted outsider in both parties.
No Democrat Of intelligence will
vote far Mr.. Strachan, except upon
the hypothesis that there is no DAN
ger Of electing him, because, tower
ing tar above even party considera-
tons. is the plain, unmistakable FACT
that John Strachdn is ,uholly incom-
| petent and UNIT for the high ONCE 10
lchjch he has been nominated.
That he will be badly beaten il in.
evitable as the election itself Let
no Democrat who is worthy of the
name, throw away a vote on him"

s@-In Austria, according to the
Imperial Patent of 1864, women as
well as men vote in the class oflanded
proprietors, and in Sweden women
also take part in the elections. In
Russia, where every household is
entitled to send a communal voter,
women are often sent to vote as rep
resentatives of the family.
