A Free Breakfast Table.

The discussion of the tariff question calls
out one by one the points to which revision
should be directed. One of the latest re-
lates to the relative position which tea,
coffee and sugar hold under the present law.
Judge Bedford, Colorado's single member of
congress, has been looking up the statistics
on these three articles. The first bill intro
duced into the first congress was by Madi-
son, and provided that certain duties should
be imposed upon tea, coffee, sugar, rum and
molasses. In course of time, under the cry
of a free breakfast table, duties were re-
moved from tea and coffee on the ground
that not being raised in this country they
could not come in competition with our
own products. When the United States
admitted these articles free of duty, the
countries producing tea and coffee immedi-
lent to the reduction of duties made by this
country, so that the breakfast table was not
made more "free" by placing those COM
modities on the free list. The case as be-
bWCCh yea anu COhCC VI tuc Out manu- dUu
sugar on the other, stands about as follows
We import, according to the last official re-
turns, about 450,0O0,00O pounds of coffee,
the value of which is about $60.000,000, and
about 75,000,0OO pounds of tea, the value of
which is $19,000,000. On these two items
there are levied no duties. Weimport sugar
to an amount equal in value to the aggregate
importations of tea and coffee, nearly $780,
100000 The government collects on this
sum about S45,000,000 in duties. Now every
housekeeper knows how the amount of her
bills for the first two articles compare with
the latter, and whether sugar is or is not as
important factor in "a free breakfast
table " as are tea and coffee. She knows
that small reduction in the price of sugar,
even if the price of tea and coffee should be
advanced trihe, would reduce living ex-
penses. These are the points on these three
articles OF everyday use as presented by
Judge Bedford, and they show in a very sig
nifcant light one phase of the needs of re-
vision. Tea and coffee could undoubtedly
be made to bear portion of the burden
thrown upon sugar alone, without adding
materially, if any, to the cost Of these ar
ticles, or endangering the reasonable pros
perity of Louisianas sugar-producing inter
ests, and the emancipation of "the break
fast table" from the thralldom of the tariff
be thereby advanced. 1t does not seem to
be necessary for commission of experts to
ponder on this matter a year or two. When
selfish interests are made to bow TO the gen
eral welfare, much of the difficulty besetting
this tariff revision will be removed. If the
disposition to do were in proportion to the
knowledge as to what should be DONE
another great obstacle in the way of equit-
able tariff reform would disappear. Popu-
lar pressure on congress may quicken the
disposition.

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.--A highly import
ant decision has just been rendered by the
United States supreme court in the case of
Ruth Thompson Us. The Knickerbocker Life
Insurance Company of New York. the case
presenting again the question of forfeiture
for non-payment of premium. The court
holds that failure to pay premium pune
tually, when due, forfeits the whole policy.
That If the company accepts a note in part
payment of the premium, with the express
stipulation that the note shall be paid at
maturity, upon penalty of forfeiture, the
penalty must be enforced. That sickness
or incapaoity is not a valid excuse for non.
payment, that the company is not bound to
give the insured notice of the maturity of
the note or the falling due OF the premium
that parol agreement TO waive forfeiture
cannot stand against the express terms of
policy or note, and previous leniency ON the
part of the company cannot be construed az
a permanent waiver of the forfeiture clause.

REFoRMAToRY.-Several years ago, all
the female convicts in the Indiana peniten-
tiary were placed in charge of Sarah Smith,
a philanthropic Quaker, for the purpose of
testing kindness as a means of reformation,
She has two hundred girls and women UNI
der her care, and the change is wonderful
They are required to perform certain work,
from which they earn their own support
and they are kept within an enclosure, but
there are no high stone walls, dark cells,
barred windows nor armed guards. Eight
women assistants are all that she requires To
control these prisoners, and severe punish
ments and deprivations are unknown. 1t
has been proved, says an official report, that
eighty per cent of these convicts are 80 far
reformed that on release they begin to lead
reputable lives.

A GooD BREAKFAsT.-Food and Hedlt.
gives this timely advice The breakfast
we take in winter will determine our eff.
cheney for work during the day, and will so
influence our whole being for that period of
time that no after meal can correct it. 1t
must contain more heterogeneous food than in
summer; it is absolutely needed. You
must store heat TO furnish material for alb
sorption and for maintaining vitality; add
to this heterogeneous food something that will
disengage heat from the blood and keep up
temperature, and you may defy the coolest
day. Your face may feel it, your hands
may feel it, but your body will be impervi-
GUS to it and go on disengaging that inward
heat which can alone withstand the lowered
temperature without. If this first meal has
been properly attended to, we may presume
that vital action can be maintained in full
force for five hours at least before it needs
replenishing."

SoJoURNER TRUTH.-This wonderful col
ored woman, having arrived at the mature
age of lO6, has just made her will. She is
possessed of comfortable home in Battle
Creek, Michigan, and a valuable farm a
short distance from town. These she be-
queaths to her three daughters living in
Battle Creek. She has many other children
born in slavery, whose names and residences
she does not know, and, in reality, she does
not know whether they are alive or not. AS
the Oldest American lecturer cannot read
much less write, the will was dictated to an
