the most hardy, and dark horses the
best. A square forehead and promi-

But the best indication of superiority
is large and prominent nose, Roman

prepcnderance of boys. Clereymen
appear just to struggle through the
ordeal without incuiring the stigma Of

producing an equal number of girls
and boys. OF course, for the stability
OF tie new law it becomes necessary to
show that musioians, medical men and

oppressive to the poor If that be
true in relation to the poor, how
would direct tax be 20 the property
holdersl 1t seems to me that the
middle ground between the two ex-
tremes. protection and direct taxes, is
the safest. All the people being con-
sumers in the government should
contribute something to its support,
which they would do under a system
of custom duties. If free trade
would prove the boon which is claim
ed for it, we all ought to be free
traders. What would tree trade be
to a people who had but little to
give in exchange for articles made
abroad, when their great dependence
is upon their own country for meat
and bread with which they scantily
supply themselves out of a little cot
ton money which goes to other states
This is all free; no tax being levied
by one state upon the products of an.
other, yet we are still poor. The
great trouble with our people is they
trade too freely In articles which ought
to lie raised and manufactured at
home, and as long as we stick to our
old ways of farming we may expect
to be a poor people. All the ports
of the world may be thrown open to
such people as free from taxation
as the air they breathe, and what ben
eft would it be to them ? The pres
ent tariff, as iniquitous as it is, is
comparatively light, compared to the
drain made upen us to supply the or
binary food of life. 1t cannot be
truly said of us that we are self-sus.
tanning. We can never become a
prosperous people until we are more
independent of others. We must to
great extent, if not entirely, drop
the cultivation of cotton. Those who
rely upon it find themselves in nc
better condition at the end of each
year.
Free trade may be set forth in
high flown language by its advocates,
but it will never clothe the naked OF
feed the hungry. 1t may be possible
we may have in the next presiden,
tial race free trade ticket. Let not
the unsuspecting be led off, believing
that any party will feed and clothe
them, give them riches and prosperi-
ty.
1t is necessary for the good of all,
and it is equally binding upon each
citizen of that government to con-
tribute to its support; and the govern.
ment in return should mete out equal
and exact Justice to all.

Leprosy in the Pacific Coast.

1t is asserted by a San Francisco pa
per that leprosy is becoming more and
more frequent among the Caucasians of
the Pacific coast. 1t used to be held
that leprosy is not contagious, and that
it rarely if ever affected white people,
but the California experience has been
painfully to the contrary. Just now the
case of Erick Erickson, a Swedish sailor,
fig attracting attention. He is lying at
the pest-house, step by step approach
ing a horrible, loathsome death. He
anne from MERGED. A year ago he no.
ticed a peculiar swelling of the hands.
This symptom was followed by the ap-
pearance of large, red blotches and pus-
tules on his arms and legs. They resem-
bled the signs of the tertiary of a vene-
cal disease, aud Erickson was at first
treated for that disorder. But the rene
dies were unavailing. Finally the tell
tale yellow hue came over his skin. The
man now presents a dreadful sight, his
flesh rotting away by inches, with scarce
ly a sound spot on his entire body. It
seems advisable to the authorities OF
coast townsto declare quarantine against
the Hawaiian Islands, which are infect
ed with leprosy. The cholera would
certainly be more welcome than this aw.

till it pines with old age, is a double
loser BY 50 doing. 1t Invariably costs
more in food and car to maintain an
old animal than a young one. AS the
yigot Of life fails. digestion is less per-
feet I. and assimilation slower and
more difficult, and the waste is
greater. As the decline goes on more and
more food is required to produces given
amount of labor, or milk, or meat. Old
animals can seldom be fattened at a pro-
fit, ever if their flesh was as valuable as
that Of younger ones, because it requires
so much more time and feed to do it.
But their flesh is not equal to that of
animals in their prime, so there is a loss
both inthe quality and the cost of pro-

Women and Life Insurance.

DR.. VIM. A. Hammond has caused
something in the nature of a sensation
by a statement in a paper called the
North American, that life insurance
coin. anies refuse to insure women's
lives o.. account of woman's inability
to be exac. . regard to her age, the dis
eases she may ave had, her mode of
life, and other mars in which exact
ness is required" A New York inter-
viewer on reading this promptly sought
out an insurance agent and ascertained
that this was not the precise cas- that
women were less fancied risks than
men. He gave the explanation that it
was because of the difficulty of making q
physical examination, They did not
take a mans word for his physical con-
dition any more than a woman's. They
had his body examined thoroughly bya
surgeon. OF course women, from mo-
tives of delicacy, would not submit to
this. Another agent declared that the
only eason q woman wa disliked for
insurance risks was because of the ex-
traordinary perils to An erican women
in child-bearing, the percentage of
deaths beng far greater than in any
other nation. 1t appears that witnesses
are against DIR. Hammond and that in
ran companies do not doubt wo-
mans ability to state facts.

How Heavy Ordnance is Made.
Interview with President Hunt.
Our gun-workers at South Boston are
the only ones in the country except
those at West Point, but their manufac
ture has been mostly ofParrott guns, and
they have never made q gun weighing
more than ten tons. Ours IS the only
concern that can make large guns, and
We have before now made guns weighing
fifty odd t ns. Our capacity, owing to
the policy of our Government, is no
greater than twenty years ago: Since
the close of the war OF the rebellion we
have had large contracts with the Gov
eminent of Spain, Chill, Peru, the Ar
g%entine Republic, Italy, Turkey, Russia
and China. So long as we had the pat
ronage of the United States Govern
ment we had no difficulty in obtaining
contracts with other governments, but,
when our contracts closed at home, we
very naturally lost a foreign trade. In
the meantime, other governments have
encouraged gun-works by giving them
orders, so that Krupp's establishment in
Germany, Armstrong; at Woolwich, in
England, and S%chneider's at Cruesot, in
France. are to-day overrun with orders.
We could not make the steel guns in
his country till we have better and
largely increased facilities for forging
steel. In Europe, for instance, at
Krupp's works, they have 1O0-ton ham
mers for forging, while the largest we
have in this country is l7-ton. The steel
for the six-inch guns which we made
last year, we had to procure in Europe
