ShreWd Observations.


1t is my observation that lawyers are more
deficient in observing the ordinary civilities
of life than doctors; that men of forty and
over are less given to politeness than those
of thirty and under; that women walking
in pairs keep both crossings that farmers
maintain the center of the pike, and that
little more politeness all along the line would
be better for us all.

location of this giant structure is at Queens

estimated that it will take five years to COM

What Becomes of Our bodies.

With very near approach to truth, the
human family inhabiting the earth has been
estimated at 7,OOO,OOOOOO; the annual loss
by death is 100000. Now, the weight of
the animal matter of this immense body cast
into the grave is no less than 634 900 tons,
and by its decomposition produces 5000, O,OOO,-
100000 cubic feet of gaseous matter. The
vegetable productions of the earth clear
away from the atmosphere the gases thus
generated, decomposing and assimilating
them for their own increase. This cycle of
changes has been going on ever since man
became an occupier of the earth. He feeds
on the lower animals and on the seeds of
plants, which in due time become part of
himself. The lower animals feed upon the
herbs and grasses, which, in their turn, be-
come the animal, then, by its death, again
pass into the atmosphere and are ready once
more to be assimilated by plants, the earthly
or bony substance alone remaining where it
is deposited, and not even there unless sufi-
GENTLY deep in the soil to be out Of the in
sorbent reach of the roots of plants and
trees. 1t is not at all difficult to prove that
the elements of which the living bodies of
the present generation are composed have
passed through millions of mutilations and
formed parts of all kinds of animal and
vegetable bodies, and consequently it may
be said that fractions Of the elements of our
ancestors form portions of ourselves.

Charming Girls.

DR.. Stewart, the pastor of one of
our uptown churches, has been painting
the portrait of the charming young
woman" of the period. He says that
her "sweet eyes weep in sympathies"
and that she has beautiful hands for
charity" All this is very nice; but the
charming young woman whom every
young man is anxious to take some day
or another before DIR. Stewart for the
purpose of having her name changed is
expected to do something else with her
eyes besides sympathetic weeping. He
thinks that If she were to employ them
in finding out the exact moment when q
beef steak is done to nicely, or when
button shows symptoms of going of
on an excursion from the shirt bosom,
they would be more useful and attrac-
tive. "Hands for charity" are to be
priced, indeed, but the hands that can
make their owners sweet things in dres-
ses as we'll as hot rolls are invaluable.
II they haye thorough acquaintance
with the broom corn brush they are still
moro estimable. Hands and eyes with
these recommendations are in constant
demand. -NcD York Journal.

Speaking of the late Republican
conference at Detroit, The Lever
says: "lt has been stated, however,
and that, too, OIL good authority,
that the drift Of sentiment in that
conference was in favor of keeping
temperance entirely out of politics
during the next campaign, and we
challenge the editor of the Republi-
can to deny it,
The editor of The TIMES attended
that conference, and we affirm that
the Lever has been misinformed.
The "drift of sentiment in that con-
ference was in favor Of the policy
adopted at Kalamazoo. If we re-
member correctly only two gentle
men gave utterance to any sentiment
that could be construed into any
such a policy as is indicated in the
above extract, and in that they had
no following in the conference.
The Lever ought to know by this
time that the Republican party is
committed to the policy of the SUBJ
mission of the constitutional amend
ment prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of liquors, and he does
know If he is half as we'll informed
as we believe he is, that a large
majority of the Republicans of Mich
igan are for constitutional prohibit
ton.

HOW ARE THE FARMERS
PROTECTED.

In protected countries the work
ing man has always received more
pay than in free trade countries.
The workingman in the United
States not only gets from 20 to 60
per cent. more wages than his Euro
pean congener, but he can buy
more with his money than his Euro
pean fellow can. This is very easy
to see and illustrates one previous
statement of the waste and costliness
of foreign commerce. Much the
largest part of a workingman's ex.
penditures is for food and shelter.
He gets both much cheaper than he
would in Europe, because he is
nearer the source of supply, and has
to bear very little of the expense of
transportation. The rate of wages
depends upon the proportion OF
laborers to the amount of capital de-
voted to the employment of labor.
Protection undoubtedly tends to in
crease the amount of capital devoted

to the employment Of labor, and in
this, as in other ways, raises the rate
of wages.
Finally, as to the old and oft-an-
swered question "How are the
farmers protected ?" In the first
place they are directly protected by
the tariff on sundry articles as fol-
lows:
Animals 10 per cent.
Barley Is cents bushel.
Barley malt 20 per cent.
Oats 10 cents 4 bushel.
Peas, beans, ETC., 10 per cent.
Bristlcs Is cents a pound.
Currants cent a pound.
Lemons and oranges 20 per cent.
Hay 20 per cent.
Hemp $40 ton.
Jute SIS a ton.
Jute Butts SO ton.
Sisa!-$r5 ton.
Olive oil 81 gallon.
Butter 4 cents pound.
Cheese IS per cent.
Pickles, capers, etc., IS per cent.
Potatoes IS cents 4 bushel.
Rice ? ~ cents a pound.
Flaxseed 20 cents bushel.
Tobacco IS cents pound.
Lumber So per M feet.
Wheat 20 cents per bushel.
Woods, raw, 10 cents pound and
IL per cent.
There is, in addition the vast
amount of incidental protection.
Thus the duty on sugar is a protec-
ton to sorghum, maple sugar and
glucose; the duty on olive oil is a
protection to the, rapidly growing
peanut and cotton seed oil industries,
etc. But far exceeding all these is
the one important fact that pro-
lection is continually cheapening to
the farmer all manufactured articles.
With the deyelopement of factories
on this side of the Atlantic he is not
only getting a better price for his
products, but he is getting those of
other producers cheaper. He is
now getting an average price of
dollar .bushel for his wheat, where
SO years ago 37% cents was good
price, and he is buying calico at five
and six cents yard, when then he
had to pay 20 and thirty cents.
Everything else that he has to buy
or sell follows the same rule. This
is mainly because producers and con-
sumers are much closer together,
and they both save the great amount
that used to be paid to the go be-
tweens.-Toledo Blade.

The policy adopted by some of
the papers to agitate for reduction
on newspaper postage is suicidal.
The reductions already made have
seriously crippled the country press.
All the benefit Of the reduction of
postage on newspapers rebounds to
publishers of The weeklies issued gen.
orally in large daily offices, all of
them in the large cities. If the post
age on newspapers could be placed
right back where it was 20 years ago,
it would largely benefit the local
press of the country and do no large
amount of damage to the great pa
pers at the commercial cepters. We
know by experience what we are
talking about and cannot be induced
to join in any movement for still
greater reduction of the postage on
newspapers.
