Esthetlc Ruskin's ssROueh" Advice.
Ruskin has very positive opinions about
courtship. He says when q youth is fully
in love with . girl. and feels that he is wise
In loving her, he should at once tell her
so plainly aud take his chance bravely with
other suitors. No lover should have the
insolence to think OF being accepted at
once, nor should any girl have the cruelty
to refuse at once without severe reasons.
II she simply doesn't like him she may
send him away for seven years or so-he
vowing to live on crosses and wear sack
cloth meanwhile, or the like penance; If
she like him . little, or thinks she might
come to like him in time, she may let him
stay near her, putting him always on .
sharp trial to see what stuff be is made OF,
and requiring, fguratively. as many lion
skins or giants heads as she thinks herself
worth. The whole meaning and power OF
true courtship Is probation. and 1t ought
not to be shorter than three years at least;
seven 10 to Ruskin's mind the orthodox
time. And these relations between the
young people should be openly and simply
known, not to their friends only, but to
everybody who has the least interest in
them; and a girl worth anything ought al
ways to have q dozen or 30 Of suitors I'M

TARIFF

Information That IL Interesting
and Useful to Everybody.
The new Tariff law passed last Winter
went into effect as regards a very few arti-
cles more than a month ago, but most of
the changes took place July 1.
In chemical products the duty is lower
in nearly all cases. Borax, boracic acid
and borate Of lime, however, which were
free, will now pay from three to five cents
q pound, and the tax on spirit varnishes
aud preparations Of opium has been almost
doubled. A number Of spices, of which
pepper is the most important, have been
put upon the free list. Crockery and
glassware will pay from 10 to so per cent
more than heretofore, with the exception
Of certain kinds of glass bottles.
Iron and its manufactures make q very
important item in the list. Speaking gen.
orally, the new Tariff upon these articles
is lower than the old one, the exceptions
being iron ore, on which the duty is raised
from 20 cents to Is cents, and cast and
wrought iron, which will pay Sc 70 per
ton, instead of from So to Sc. The prin-
cipal reduction is in railway bars made
partly or wholly Of steel. These have
COlBC uOWH w E1f DCS WI q lall u lIOul
SIS 40 to SIG go.
Sugars will pay from rs to so per cent
less than before; and the tests will be made
by the polariscope-an improvement upon
the present. method. On cigars the change
has already gone into effect, and dealers
and smokers alike rejoice at the lowering
Of rates. Tobacco wrappers, however, pay
double what they did-a change due to the
late immense importation of Sumatra to-
bacco for this purpose.
The duties on cotton and cotton goods
are slightly reduced throughout the whole
list. Those on hemp, jute and fax goods
remain about the same. Those on wool
and wooden goods show a reduction in some
cases quite material. For instance, the
old tariff On woods was 10 cents q pound,
plus ii per cent OF the value, and IL cents,
plus 10 per cent, according to quality.
The new tariff is 10 and II cents a pound.
Silk and silk goods stand about as before.
Two important reductions are those on
manufactures of paper not otherwise
classified, from IS to Is per cent, and on
dried pulp for papermakers' use, from 20
to 10 per cent.
A number of other articles have been
put upon the free list, among which may
be noted unwrought glass plates for opti-
cal instruments, macaroni and vermicelli,
parchment, and engravings, etchings, etc.,
more than 20 years old. Paintings and
sculpture, on the other hand. have ad-
vanced from 10 to 80 per cent. This
change is found to be generally deprecated
by both dealers and artists; but these are
artists who express themselves strongly
the other way.
1t will be remembered also that many
changes in the internal revenue went into
operation after July 1. The tax on checks.
drafts, patent medicines, matches. etc., is
taken off entirely-a change for which
everybody is thankful.

The Breeches Bible.

Mr.. w. r.. Hubbard. of Hamilton,

esting old Bible. The title page of the
Old Testament is torn away; but the
title page of the New Testament reads {:
"The New Testament of our Lord Jesus

expositions upon the hard places by

Bixby, auctioneer, it being the property
of Jacob AveYell, Deceased. This edi-
tion of the Bible is that commonly
called "The Bishops Bible" which was
first published in 1868, forty-three
years before our present version, which
was first published in 1911. 1t has the
distinction also of being called "The
Breeches Bible" on account of the word
"breeches" being used in the 7th verse
of the 3d chapter of Genesis, instead of
the word apron" used in the present

lows: "Then the eyes of them both
were opened, and they knew that they
were naked, and they sewed fgge tree
leaues together and made Themselves
breeches." This is accompanied by a
queer marginal note. The Goth verse
of the same chapter says: "And the
man called his wiues name Heua, be-
cause she was the mother of all liuing."

A Lesson i'm Boxing.

"Pa told my chum and me that it was
no harm to learn to box, cause we could
defend ourselves, and he said he used to
be holy terror with the boxing gloves
when he was boy, and he has been
now / tell you, and handles himself
pretty well for church member. L
read in the paper how Zach Chand er
played it on Conkling by getting lem
Mace, the prize fighter, to knock him
silly, and l asked pa if he wouldn't let
me bring poor boy, who had no father
to teach him boxing, to our house to
learn to box, and pa said certainly,
fetch him along. He said he would be
glad to do anything for poor orphan.
SO / went down in the Third ward and
got an Irish boy by the name of Duffy,
who can knock the socks off of any boy
in the ward. He fit prize fight once.
1t would have made you laugh to see
pa tell him how to hold his hands and
how to guard his face He told Duffy
not to be afraid but TO strike out and
hit for keeps. Duffy said he was afraid
pa would get mad if he hit him, and pa
said, Nonsense, boy, knock me down if
you can, and will laugh ha hap Well,
Duffy he hauled back and gave pa one
in the nose and another in both eyes,
and cuffed him on the ear and punched
him in the stomach, and damned him in

then lie gave him n sidewinder in both

shufYie, the Baby Alligator.

A queer name for babyl But this
baby was an infant alligator-one OF
the "Pike-nose family" and native Of
Florida. Mamma alligators build their
nests among tall trees by the banks Of
rivers or shallow ponds. The nests
look like small tents about four feet
high. First, mamma alligator makes q
circle on the ground about as large
round as wagon-wheel. A mud floor
is smoothed over this circle. AS soon
as it is hard she packs on it as many
eggs as she can crowd together. They
are larger than a hens egg and have
very hard shells. Then comes a second
mud floor, little smaller than the
first, and more eggs. And so on, until
the peak of her house is reached and
there is no more room. Sometimes
100 eggs are in one house. Mamma
alligator keeps careful watch over them.
She fights if enemies come near. Baby
alligators follow the mother in water
just as ducks swim out after their
mothers. When baby alligators lie on
the shore in the sunshine they whine
and whelp like little dogs. At first
they are not very strong. If large
birds peck at them or ugly turtles poke
them, they cry out for the mother.
One day mamma alligator went off
fishing, and black boy caught one of
her babies 1t was about six inches
long. He sold the little creature to q
lady. Master Pike-nose slipped about
the house easily, but was awkward
running on the ground. So, in fun, he
was called Shuttle. He had small
bath-tub for his home. There he was
happy, and every one petted him. One
day Shuttle was missing. Oh, what
hunting there was! All the boarders
looked through closets, and under beds
and sofas. Nothing was heard of Shuttle
all night. Little Daisy Fem, waking
early, peeped through the bars of her
crib.
20 mamma-see, the paper is NOV
ing!" she cried.
I'm the fireplace" added Jack. "See,
see!"
"Ha, ha, 1 see his nose" said mamma,
now wide awake. Master Pike-nose
popped out, quite as much surprised as
any one.
1t did not take long to catch the rogue
and put him into his bath-tub home.
"Just to think of it. said all in breath !;
1--WE all slept in the room with an alli-
gator-a free alligator"
"And nobody was hurt" added Jack.
"That's the funny part of it"
Shuttle was very small eater. A bit
of raw beef the size of pin-head fast
'ened to quill was given him. This
was all he wished for day, and some
times he would not eat even that Old
alligators go whole days without food.
In the spring when Jack returned to his
northern home, he brought Shuttle with
him in box, a present from the land
lady.-Our Little ones.
The true northerner., 1883-03-23
The Use of an Enemy.

Always keep an enemy on hand,
brisk, hearty, active enemy. Remark
the use of an enemy:
l. The having of one IS proof that
you are somebody. Wishy-washy,
empty, worthless people never have
enemies. Men who never move, never
run against anything; and when a man
is thoroughly dead and utterly buried,
nothing ever runs against him.
2. An enemy is, to say the least, not
partial to you. He will not hatter. He
will not exaggerate your virtues. 1t is
very probable that he will slightly mag
nifty your faults. The benefit of that
is two-fold. 1t permits you to know
that you have faults and are, therefore,
not monster; and it makes them of
such size as to be visible and manage
able.
3. In addition your enemy keeps you
wide-awake He does not let you sleep
ways keep watch, namely, the lover and
the hater. Your lover watches that
you may sleep He keeps off noises,
excludes light, adjusts surroundings,
that nothing may disturb you. Your
hater watches that you may not sleep.
He stirs you up when you are mapping.
He keeps your faculties on the alert.
Even when he does nothing, he will
have put you in such state of mind
that YOU cannot tell what he will do
next.
4. He is detective among your
friends. You need to know who your
friends are, and who are not, and who
are your enemies. When your enemy
goes to one who is neither friend nor
enemy, and assails you, the Indifferent
one will have nothing to say or chime
in, not because he is your enemy, but
because it is so much easier to assent
than to oppose and especially than to
refute. But your friend will take up
cudgels for you on the instant. He will
deny everything and insist on proof,
and proving is very hard work-Christ-
ian AdUocate.

Washington In Youth.

Fortunately for himself and his coun-
try, Washington was educated in power
ty, the son of a Virginia farmer. From
in active labors. His father had large
tracts of land that apparently produced
little money. The house in which the
young Washington was born was small,
and built of wood. The country around
was wild and thinly settled. Washington
went to q country school, where the
teaching was very poor. At home in
the plain country farmhouse he could
have learned little. His mother was an
excellent woman, and taught her son
industry and honesty.
His father died when he was child.
and his mother, who WAS his fathers
second wife, was left to support her
self and her children from her farm.
She lived in comparative poverty in
small wooden house. Her son George
was strong, healthy boy, and gave
her, no doubt, all the help he could.
He studied well at school. He was al
ways industrious. Like many useful
men, he educated himself His mother
would no doubt have been glad to have
sent him to college at Princeton or Har
ward but the cost was great, and the
poor widows son could hope for none
of the advantages of higher education.
John Adams and Samuel Adams could
pass through Harvard with success !;
Hamilton was at Columbia College,
Jefferson at William and Mary. But
Washington, the most eminent of the
patriots, was obliged to educate him
self in the midst of his labors on the
farm. Like Franklin and Burns, Shaks-
peare and Virgil, he probably read as
he worked at the harvest or guided his
plow.
Washington had never any leisure to
learn Latin or Greek, or even French.
His object was to make living. He
kept no journal Of his youth. He never
desired to become great man, but he
was resolved to be an honest one, and to
maintain himself. At one moment he
thought of going into the navy, but his
mother opposed it. She said it was q
bad scheme" and kept him at home to
become the founder of the republic.
The warrant for making him O Midship-
man was already signed when she inter
fered 80 happily for all. She would not
part with her eldest son, the stay of the
family. She feared to expose him to
the temptations and dangers Of naval
life. A mothers love saved him to his
