Where Blaine is Weak.
tsan Franrisco CHRONICLE +. J

Blaine is especially weak in England
and on the Continent Of Europe. An
exchange expresses it exactly in these
words: Every day 1t is becoming
more painfully evidest that Blaine will
not carry single European State"
The Pail Mall Gazette more definitely
explains the causes Of his great unpop-
ularity in England Il says:
We (Enl land) own nearly one-half
of the North American continent, We
do an immense trade with South
America; our treaty obligations in
South America are considerable, and
the intervening seas are sprinkled with
British possessions. On Mr.. Blaine's
theory Of the universe. all this Is wrong.
The Old World has no business in the
New. He does not intend to drive US
out at the point of the bayonet. He
is not a lunatic, but very shrewd
Yankee. Wherever an opportunity
occurs he will use It to the uttermost
to replace our influence and trade by
the influence and trade OF the United
States. He will regard it as chief
object to promote great American
Confederacy, under the egis Of the
Government at Washington, which
would tend to increase the exports OF
the United Stares at the expense OF
the trade OF Great Britain.

We Buy With Labor.

The labor argument in favor of Pro-
lection has never been stated better
than by Horace Greeley. After COM
pairing the inequality of wages in the
United States and Europe he says:
ave thus have our choice between
importing most Of our iron or protect
ing the home production. Now
never had any interest in iron making,
though l have bought and used many
thousand dollars worth IN the shape
Of boilers, printing presses, engines,
etc. 1t is my interest. you say. to
have cheap iron. Certainly, but buy
iron not, ultimately and really, with
money. but with the product of my
labor-that is, with newspapers, and /
can better afford TO pay $40 per ton
for iron made by men who can and do
buy American newspapers than take it
for $50 from those who never buy one
of my products. The money price of
the American iron may be higher, but
its real cost to me is less than that of
the British iron. "-MembAis Aua-

Mexico IS a country of broad con-

poor and squalid are side by side, in

In its 1000 miles of latitude and Its

clo,hing-wool in endless abundance !;
leather, cotton OF every grade, hemp,
linen, felt, ramie and even silk-yet
her peasantry are arrayed in soiled and
tattered bagging. sufficient for the
most primitive modesty. Upon her
plains sleeps eternal summer, guaran-
teeing two and often three crops Of the
cereals every year, and both highland
and lowland swarm with poems eager
to work for eighteen to thirty cents a
day. And yet food OF all sorts is so
high here as to well nigh to bankrupt a
visitor.
Mexico could grow more wheat than
Minnesota, Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska
ana Missouri. and in the terra tenn
piada on the central table lands two
crops Of wheat are grown every twelve
months /; yet wheat flour is $50 bar

in Mexico in all seasons to support

Potatoes can be grown in Mexico for

Breaking up Setting Hens.

Mr.. Geo. Mason, of Montgomery
Co., Iowa, writes the Prairie Farmer
that he succeeds in accomplishing this
sometimes difficult thing as follows :
He has two movable coops with Slated
sides and ends, tight roofs and ground
for floor. These afford light, air and
shade, all necessary in summer. In
the evening he catches the broody
hens and puts them in one of these
coops for four nights and days. giving
them all they will eat and drink. On
the 4th day. toward evening. he lets
them out; at dusk they will hurry to
the roost, forgetting all about the nest.
Two nights after catch them again,
using the other coop. and repeat alter.
nate nights-four times. Move the
coop each day. He wabts our readers
to try this and report results.

The Quilt.
For the Weekly Graphic.

At railway station I saw = man
gathering up the scattered contents Of

man Of culture and well along in years.
As he picked up the articles one at a
time. he came to = small quilt which
bore the marks of long use. 1t was
one Of the old fashioned kind made Of
goods of different ::pattems--pstch
work if you please. This he folded
nicely and placed with the other arti-
cles. He stopped for moment and
gazed at the folded parcel. Hastily
he took up the quilt, pressed 1t to his
bps and kissed the make Up of years
ago. Undoubtedly the quilt had a
history. Perhaps each little piece
which composed it was a legend OF
itself to him. He may have heard
sometime back in liie.. as they we're
talking over their history, his wife say ::
That quilt reminos .>- nj when was
agirl." We thought how in memor, .a
went back with her to days of girlhood
and listened to her story as she told
him how the quilt was made. She
told OF saving the pieces as they were
given to her by neighbors, schoolmates,
friends and loved ones. He was told
how the colors were selected so they
might harmonic, she explained the
way each piece was cut. shaped and
sewed together to form the design and
make 1t beautiful, she told HIM who
was at her home when the quilt was
finished. All brought to their minds
pleasant thoughts of the past and those
persons they delighted to think about.
Probably as his memory returned from
her sirlhood days, he saw along the
path of life where many barren places
had been, 10y her skillful hands, made
to bloom with beautiful flowers. He
saw where many dark leaves had been
turned and a bright page developed
by her constancy and love. He saw
days of sickness when she bathed his
aching head and panied limbs, then
he realized the magic power of her
presence; the better part of his life was
was made and sustained by her kind
criticism anG wise council.
What hand is so gentle, what voice is So
low,
As it whispers In love tokens she touches
your brow,
And OIL with what fervor she earnestly
praye
That God, in his mercy. may lengthen your
days"
Yes, he keeps the little quilt sacred
and kissed it in memory ofhis wife.
