TO 4 CHILD.

Kathleen of the glad blue eyes,
Elf-locks dark and curling
Kathleen of the laughing voice,
Like wild stream whirlng:
When gaze into those eyes,
Deep read the story
OF long-lost Paradise
And the young worlds glory.
Many a tale of fairyand
Have we dreamed together,
BY the hearth in shadow-time,
out on wind-swept heather.
Tired, told of prince and fay,
Court and castle hoary;
Give me, sweet, my turn to-day
], too, crave story.
Blue eyes telling tales to mine
Darkly raise their frnges:
Earth had doors to Heaven once,
Wide on golden hinges.
From beyond, the timeless light
Banished time and sorrow;
Child-world had no yesterday,
Heaven was tomorrow.
Eought was there of languid bloom,
Frail and feVered splendor,
Kisses like the daisies thronged,
Love made grecnsward tender,
Truth was sunny as the sky,
Branching care spread DER us,
All that warbled ecstasy
MADE the garden chorus.
O thou Eden of the past
If could but find thee,
All ! have, for thee, I'd cast,
Worthless, vain, behind me-
When the Heaven-gates stood wide,
And all the air was ringing
With mingled voices of our home
And sound of angels singing!
Am sad2 How startled shine
Those blue eyes in wonder
Child, whose heart beats close to mine,
Far are we asunder.
Yet, if | would follow thee,
Oft marvel whether
Thou couldst lead me in, TO see
Eden-land together.

The Tariff Question.
IN. Y. Indel endent. |

Most persons who declaim against
tariff duties, so imposed as to be pro-
tective to home production, usually
concede the necessity of revenue
tariff, meaning thereby duties levied 10
raise the means, either in whole or in
part, of supporting the Government.
Unless they are absolute free traders,
and opposed to all tariff duties, they
find no fault with what they call rev.
enue tariff, while they protest loudly
against one that is protective. This
feature is sure to cali forth their OBJ
lection.
Now, it is well to remember, as a
first answer to this objection, that a
protective tariff is always a revenue
tariff. The raising OF revenue is one
of its fixed purposes and invariable re-
suits. If duty be imposed on foreign
iron, one object is to raise a revenue,
and every dollar collected is just so
much revenue paid to the Govern
ment. Suppose it to be true that one
effect of the duty on iron IS to protect
the home production oflron against the
cheaper production of tile same article
in other countries. and that, in this
aspect of the case, the duty is protec-
tive; and it will not be the less true
that the same duty has all the qualities
of a revenue tariff. 1t yields a reve-
nue., and in this way helps to supply
the means of defraying the expenses of
the Government. The fact that it is
protective in respect to the home man.
ufacture of iron does not, in the Slight.
est degree, impair its revenue charac-
ter. In the case as supposed it serves
both purposes. and neither In any way
to interfere with the other. Its two
characters are not antagonistical, bu,
coincident and harmonious.
Let it be remembered, in the next
place, that the direct and immediate
effect of every tariff duty, whether
levied Tor revenue or protection, is to
increase the cost in this market of the
imported article or articles upon which
it is levied This is inevitable. If, for
example, a duty of ten cents be levied
upon every pound of imported tea,
then this will be added by the import
or to the price of tea, and must be ulti.

THE SCIENCE OF PHYSIoGNoMY.
As PraCtiCed by the Hotel Employees
al Saratoga.
C"Uncle Bill" in Chicago Herald J


The science of physiognomy is prac.
ticed at the hotel here which does not
intendio admit Jews. Employees are
expected to be expert in detecting
Judaism in faces. Nomenclature is
also made a special study. However.
the proficiency is not SO great in every
case as to save the establishment from
Isreiitish invasion. A man with
neither the nose nor name of n Jew
may become a guest. On the other
hand, a Christian may be mistaken for
Jew under some circumstances.
There is a summer resident here who
by nasal breakage has been made to
resemble a member of the chosen peo-
pie, though he is born and bred YAM
kee from Boston. His daughter was
taken i'll, and he fastened to the hotel
in question to call DR.. Bennett who
was boarding there. A doorman stop
ped him on the threshold with the
question, "Are you a guest?'
"No, but I'm going for doctor"
was the reply.
II can't let you IN
but I'm not Jew, sir"
The guard scrutinized the suspicious
nose and refused to admit it. Then
its owner took it to the office and SUBJ
mitted il to the clerk, who reluctantly
became convinced of the truth, and
wrote an order letting it in.
Florence, the actor, got little fun out
of this antl-J ewish crusade. His jovial
face has Irish lines in It, but no Inca
ment that could be construed as Jew
ish. He had read what l wrote last
week about the situation, and it came
into his mind as he walked up to the
registry. He wrote IN the book: SIS.
Isaacs, New York" The clerk looked
at the signature in sudden alarm. and
then gazed earnestly into the CONNIE
dams anything but Semitic face.
rs that your name, sir!" he SIAM
mered, quite thrown out OF his usually
steady balance.
'Dot lsh my name, yes" was the re-
ply in excellent dialect; "I-socks-
Solomon I-socks."
Then l am sorry to say that We can't
give you room"
At this point the bystanders laughed
and the actors joke was duly noted
for publication.
1t is hard to tell just what, in bust
ness way, has been the effect of exclud-
ing Jews from this hotel. 1t is full of
guests this month; but SO is the larger
house, in which Jews and Christians
are mixed Unfortunately. and SO is
the mailer one, IN which Jews are al
most in monopoly.
