cAuees for lack Of labor IL thu reduo-
ton Of protection duties four years

yeArs ago 10 still farther reduce them, and
the present equally determined effort
for the same purpose. The reduction
Of these impost duties biotted ont
the tin manufacturing trade-we are
now using only British tin-crippled

Iron and steel trade
Lat the hundreds OF Thousands Of

moment and ask themselves Why $50.
OO0, 900 u6rth Of steel and iron should

Of the world while there IL no outlet for
our own markets. The markets that
supply rs with goods cheaper than We

supply all the other markets Of the
world and leave none for the United

to compete with these opened markets
Of the world have been compelled TO
reduce the wage prices and in many In
stances TO import cheap labor. 1t 10
all nonsense to talk Of the United States
competing with Europe, everything else
being equal, with wages In this country
nearly one hundred per cent. higher
than In European countries and labor
comprising about ninety per cent. OF
the cost Of the manufactured article.
What then should be done to allay
the labor excitement Of the country are
we asked? We are ready 20 answer.
Let Congress, instead 81 trying 70 re-

let us illustrate the generous
handing we mean to practice
all round by the little item Of
braids.
You ask to see braids in
the nearest store wherever
you happen to De; the girl
behind the counter opens a
drawer or box. The stock
of braids is q bushel or two.
We couldn't better show
in the paper what we have
in the store than by such
comparison.
Our fringe counteris eighty
feet long; our buttons oc-
cupy one = hundred and
twenty-five feet; braids forty
feet-forty feet Of length Of
counter; and behind the
counter braids Gil many rows
of shelves.
Shall we mention the sorts?
Begin with the commonest.
Alpaca, 1 to a-inch. black,
white and colors.
Worsted Commonly spoken
of as mohair; but real mohair
is a very different stuff of
many grades, the finer ap-
preaching mohair; 4-inch to
| 3-inch; black, white, plain
and mixed colors.
Mohair, which pure is
richer in braid than silk; !.
inch to 3i-inch; black, white
and colors.
Silk of plain texture only,
J to 5-inch, black, white and
colors.
This simple classification
states the whole stock in
brief; but, unless the imagin.
alton helps the eye, it
scarcely shows how forty
feet Of counter and the
shelves behind it are occu-
pied with braids and buyers
All we care to show, how
ever, is the fact that when
you think of a braid, what
ever the material, color,
width or pattern, here it is
likely to be.
We may, perhaps with
advantage, add a list of the
patterns. The simplest is
pain binding; next comes
Hercules, diamond, basket,
honeycomb, soutache, tubu-
lar, and many fancy braids.
Our foreign braids have
come. These hints are out
of them. White abounds in
all materials and textures.
Honeycomb in plain and
mixed colors is a favorite.

moderation Needed.

The Knights OF Labor should move
carefully in their conferences with the
morocco manufacturers OF our city.
Here are fifteen hundred lAborers ut
least in the seventeen morocco manu-
factories, and not less than four thou
sand Ave hundred men, women and
children are living from the wages
paid by these manufacturers to their
workmen. 1t lie very evident that
these manufacturers are Indifferent
whether they keep their manufactures
open, or whether they shut them for o
few months. Were 1t not for the dis
ruption TO their business they would
probably prefer shutting up for three
or four months, or until such time rs
their surplus manufactured stock
should be disposed of. No doubt the
wages Of the workmen are too low,
but the question is will the business
bear higher wages? Some of the lead
ing manufacturers say that II they
adopt the schedule Of prices offered by
the committee from the Knights OF
Labor they might - well shut down
In fact, Mr.. Baker said that unless
there should be Q corresponding rise in

A Cats Tender Mercies.

Did you ever see anything so desc
late and helpless as family of young
pups when the mother dog is dead?
There is a supplication in their condi-
ton that even the family cat can't re-
sist. A Lewiston physician, who keeps
his horse in a stable not far from Lis
bon street, relates the following true
story of an occurrence of the past fort
night: 1.-TWO families were growing up
in the stable-one canine, the other fe-
line. The cats family was trifle the
older, but not old enough to open its
eyes. Everything was fortunate in both
families until, the other morning, there
was dead dog on the stable floor and
three whining pups shivering in the
straw. The next day they attracted the
attention of the cat. She was seen to
walk into the stall whence the whining
came and to approach the bed on the
straw. She surveyed, apparently in a
thoughtful way, the desolate family.
They seemed to strike her favorably.
She lifted one by the nape of the neck
and bore it home, and returned for an
other, and then the last. She evidently
couldn't, in her motherly heart, refuse
bed and board to the suffering, and
the mixed-up family is said to be now
rapidly approaching condition of self
help. As proof in instructive mercy,
the incident is certainly valuable. y

Drinking and ApOplexy.

1t is the essential nature of all wines
and spirits to send an increased amount
of blood to the brain. The first effect
of taking a glass of wine or stronger
form of alcohol is to send the blood
there faster than common. Hence the
circulation that gives the red face. 1t
increases the activity of the brain and
it works faster, and so does the tongue
but as the blood goes faster than COM
mon to the brain, it returns faster, and
no immediate harm may result. But
suppose man keep on drinking; the
blood is sent to the brain so fast in
large quantities that in order to make
room for it the arteries have to charge
themselves. They increase in size,
and, in doing so, they press against the
more yielding flaccid veins which carry
the blood out of the brain, and dimin-
ish the sizes of the pores, the result
being that the blood is not only carried
to the arteries of the brain faster than
is natural or healthful, but is prevented
from leaving it as fast as usual. Hence
a double set of causes of death are in
operation. Hence man may drink
enough brandy or other spirits in a few
hours or even minutes to bring on a
fatal attack of apopleXy. This is being
literally dead drunk.-Irish World.

" A Bride of Gold"

Temperance has been defined as
bride Of gold; it is a help in spiritual
work, moral safeguard and shield
against dangers, for both sexes, that
rush in to destroy the soul. There are
various societies busily spreading the
knowledge of scientific truths that ex-
hort to temperance, and to their honor
be it said the names of some of our
chief temperance workers are those
who have been set in high places, and
whose example and influence are evil
IDENTIFY important and far-reaching.
(Euidently we say, being thankful to
know that the lowest laborer for Christ's
sake has his sphere of influence, though
not apparent below.) The Bishop of
London and Canon Wherefore have
long been stalwart warriors in the tenn
perance crusade, lifting up their voices
against that which has come to be
acknowledged as our national vice.
The New York State Temperance So
ciety now includes new organization
the +" Knights of Temperance" league
composed of youths and boys, whose
principles are expressed by three words
=" Soberness, Purity, Reverence" We
wish the new order God-speed. There
is room for every kind of movement
that can help forward public sobriety,
which in large measure must depend
upon the young. Opinions may differ
as to the right of taking away the "poor
mans glass" or the soundness of the
argument that tells the adult he would
realize the benefit of alcohol as a medi-
cine if he dispensed with it as bever-
age, but no one can look on a bright
young face and oppose the yearning
that would save that dawning life from
drink. The Christian era has been the
one to care for the children, to think of
their future, and to give them the best
chances of health and virtue: to those
who have to deal with the little ones,
and yet are reckless to the perils and
possibilities that may lie before them,
we commend an anecdote told by Arch
deacon Farrar, in addressing temper
ance workers: g a prisoner" said he,
"who, in the French revolution, was
every moment expecting the guillotine,
wrote these words: If | were being
taken to the guillotine, on the fatal
tumbril, with nothing free but my
voice, could still say, Take care, to any
child too near the wheels. My words,
Take care, might save his life, and who
knows whether he might not live to
save his country?' "-Selected.

Eskimo Baby-Life.

When baby Eskimo's mother makes
he hood for her reindeer suit she
stretches it into long sack or bag, that
hangs down behind and is supported by
her shoulders, and this bag of reindeer's
kin is his cradle and home, where he
ives until he knows how to walk,
when he gets his own first suit of
Elothing. This, however, is while the
baby Eskimo is outdoors or his mother
s making a social visit. When at home,
n order not to disturb his mother while
he is sewing or cooking or doing such
bther work, the little baby is allowed to
Toll around, almost without clothing,
[mong the reindeer skins that make the
bed, where it amuses itself with any
hing it lays its hands on, from Ratchet
10 snow-stick.
You doubtless think little Boreas
hould have nice time rolling around
o his hearts content on the soft, warm
eindeer-skins; but when | tell YOU
more about his little home, you may
lot then think so. For his winter home
built of snow.
But won't that snow melt and the
ouse tumble in?" you will ask. OF
curse it will, if you get it warmer than
ust the GOODNESS at which water freezes;
tut during the greater part of the year
is so cold that the snow will not melt,
ven when the Eskimo burn fires in
heir stone lamps inside these snow
mount of fire, they can just keep the
now from melting. In short, it must
lways be cold enough in their homes to
reeze. So you can see that the little
Eskimo cannot have such very nice
lime, and you can't see how in the
Eorld he can be almost naked nearly all
ay long when it is so cold. But such
the fact.
Yet, in spite of all this, the little fell
ow really enjoys himself. He gets
sed to the cold, and has great fun frol-
cking around on the memberships
nd playing with his toys; and when l
ave told you some other stories about
he cold these little folks can endure,
on can understand how they can en-
by themselves in the snow-huts, or
gloos, as they call them, when it is
My little colder than freezing.
AT times the fire will get too warm
the snow-house, and then the ceiling
Fill commence melting-for you all
erhaps have learned at school that
Fhen room becomes warm it is
FARMER at the ceiling and cooler near
he floor. So with the hut of snow; it
pmmences melting at the top, because
is warmer there-and when two or
hree drops of cold water have fallen on
be baby's bare shoulders, his father or
bother finds that it is getting too warm,
nd cuts down the fire.
When the water commences dropping
he mother will often take a SNOWFALL
rom the floor, where it is colder than
reezing, and stick it against the point
here the water is dripping. There it
reezes fast and soaks up the water just
Ike sponge, until it becomes full; and
hen she removes it and puts on
Mother as soon as it commences to
rip again. Sometimes she will forget
remove it, and when it gets soaked
md heavy with water and warm enough
lose its freezing hold, down it comes,
erhaps right on the baby's bare back,
here it flattens out like slushy pan
hke-or into his face, as it once served
be.-St. Nicholas.
