and cannot be expected to help us
make Sunday such an uplifting, soul
strengthening day. We are not like

purpose, larger in spiritual sympathy
on Monday morning for its entrance
into our Sabbaths. 1t is the ally,
consciously or not, of the Continental

into that position. 1t is doubtful

o.,.j.e ana protection.

The New York Post gives the fol.
lowing as n specimen of the benefits Of
protection" THE wholesale price
of quinine in this country is about
$500 an ounce, and in the foreign
market about So an ounce, a price at
which, but for the duty Of twenty per
centum al ValOum, it could be placed
on sale in our own markets. The
difference Of 60 cents an ounce goes,
almost without deduction, into the
markets of the two Philadelphia mo.
nopolists. A fair estimate of the con-
sumption of quinine in this country
is ! 200 600 ounces a year. 1t is prob
ably, therefore, no exaggeration to
say that the American people have for
years been paying $4,000 a year to
two firms, whose estimated wealth is
twenty millions of dollars. If Con-
gress allows this sort of protection to
continue-protection which sustaius
monopoly and overwhelms COMPETE
ton, makes the sick sicker, the poor
pOorer-it deserves every rebuke that
an indignant and wronged people can
heap upon it..

An experiment was tried in Iowa of
sowing in the fall, upon one acre of
land, two bushels of wheat mixed with
one bushel of oats. The oats shot up
rapidly and were, of course, killed by
the frost. But they furnished warm
covering for the earth, and when the
snow fell among the thick stalks and
leaves they kept it from blowing away.
This covering prevented the winter.

oats. leaves, and stalks afforded a rich
top dressing for the crop the following
Spring. The result was an abundant
yield of wheat, while land precisely
similar alongside Of ii, and treated in
the same manner with the exception
of emitting oats, was utterly worth,

Triumphant Lore.

A marriage which took place in

dampen the ardor Of young love has
just been reported TO US. The swain,
stout young farmer Of Pocahontas
county, after the usual course Of

maiden freckled 10 name the day. She
fixed an early one, and he obtained a
license in PocahontSs county. The
girl lived just over the line in Calhoun
county. The evening set for the mar.
riage was a rainy ard dismal one. but
the minister arrived at the brides house
to perform the ceremony. All the
preparations were made, when prelim-
mary to the ceremony the minister
asked to see the license. When il was
shown there was trouble, the minister
refusing to proceed unless they went
over to Pocahontas county. The
house was only few rods from the
line, bat II was as dark as Egypt and
raining by the bucketiul without.
However, every body was anxious
and no body afraid, and out they
went. The pigpen was over the line,
and toward it the party steered. The
minister mounted the fence to get out
of the mud, and wound his legs among
the boards to brace himself up. the
couple grabbed hands, and, while the
brides brother held lantern to illu.

formed. -IFort Dodge Gazette.

that teeth can be transplanted from

has done service for years or decades
being put into a vacant socket in a
jaw and made to grow. The impor-

not have been recently extracted. II
