Ran dali and the TnrlG.

Those free-trade Democrats who have
been harboring the idea that MI Ran
dali would not stand in the way of tariff
reform on the Morrison Carlisle line
of reforming it, will not feel much en-.
couraged by his recent declarations up
on thai subject credited to him by the
" Philadelphia Times" That paper
says Mr.. Randall wants to "scsle the
rates of duty on the basis Of the differ.
snce between European and American
labor" OF course Mr.. Randall means
by this the difference in wages paid.
But according to the "Times Mr..
Randall goes farther and says this ia
not only his but the Presidents position.
Speaking farther for himself, he says:
." think that American labor should
bs upheld, and can see no better way
to accomplish that purpose than by
such q wisely regulated schedule OF du.
ties on imports as will exclude from
competition in American markets this
products Of the undergrad laborers OF
England and the continental countries
of Europe" This will be unwelcome
news to Mr.. Morrison, as Mr.. Randall
can control at least as many Democrat.
~ he did in the last Congress when h,
defeated Mr.. Morrison 8 free-trsde hori
zontal iff.reform bill. There is M
help for Mr. Randall than to be a pro.
teetiopist. /. he Is not he cannot b,
elected to Congress from Pennsylvania
and IL on the other hand he remains
protectionist, he can have no standing
in the party to which he processes t,

EVERY DAY SALT.

Salt in the household has two chief
uses 1t Is food and IL has valuaele
antiseptic properties. Most persons are
aware that common salt, or chloride of
sodium, is one of the many mineral
salts that form constant part of the
human body and therefore is necessary
in human food. Tho others are all
found combined in ordinary articles of
diet. Wanting lime for the children,
we have recourse TO milk, 20 wholemeal
or to oatmeal. We do not eat phosphate
of lime, nor even benefit greatly by
taking TO lime water as beverage
when sailors, and even landsmen, are
Suffering from q short supply of potash
salts 1t is not found at all useful TO buy
\ dry potash at the chemists, but their
health mends when they get fresh
fruits anG green's, potatoes or lime
Ijuice. Common salt is the only mineral
that we habitually consume az food
aud it plays a very important part in
digestion and absorption of all other
foods.
It ia strange that this, as we'll as
maDy peculiarities in the behavior of
salt that the housewife will be inclined
TO regret, are due to its power of taking
Iup water wherever the two meet. There
are incurably damp walls because the
mortar contains salt. Boots and clothing
can never be properly dried after they
have been soaked with sea water, and
the table salt 10 never in good order
lduring damp weather unless 1t Is re-
dried every day In the oven. Moreover,
the salt used as antiseptic acts partly
by ATS ractinR moisture from the meat,
Iand as he moisture is not pure water,
but a solution o. various salts and food
materials, it follows that salt meat is
never so nourishing as fresh.
4 In diet of salt meat 1t Is generally
Iallowed that il Ia not the excess of com
mon salt that is called chiefly Injurious,
but the deprivation OF other matters
that a.e taken from the meal and that
are supplied again in lemon or vege.
tables. An excess of salt is no doubt
bad, because of another effect produced
by the love of salt for water 1t ID pro
vocative of thirst, and an exces sive
amount of even the most harm less
liquids does make up for 1t, while
many popular liquids are not per-
fectly harmless. Quadrupeds are found
to thrive better on moist food than
on dry food and water, and evidence
ends to prove that bipeds resemble
them In this particular as in many

Chinese do NOT Eat RATS.

A young lady interested In the Chi
nese Sunday School connec cited with En-
manuel Church in Baltimore, writes
that 1.-THE Chinese feel very much az.
grieved at the popular idea that they
eat rats A few days ago an intel
lectual Chinaman, who has lived In
this country for a number Of years.
spoke of the annoyance, and said he
would like every one to know shat
the Chinese do not at rats, but SOUR.
rels." The popular delusion that rats
constitute great article OF diet among
the Chinese is duo no doubt 70 the fact
that school reader which was former.

IT IL said that, thsre 10 no foundation
whatsoever for the report that Secretary
BayArd intenfs 70 resign his office, ct
least In no instance In any CONVERSE
ton with his friends has he expressed
his intention Of retiring. Mr.. Bay
ards grief is no doubt very deep as In
always che case with men 30 devoted
as he has been to his family, but to re-
|stgn his office would be but to give
way to melancholy. This Is just the
time when Mr.. Bayard needs some
thing to engross his whole attention,
and there is nothing better calculated
TO keep him busy with all its multi
piled and varied duties than the office
which he holds. Speaking Of Mr..
Bayard's fondness for home joys and
Attractions, 1t Is well known that he is
never more happy than when buried
in the bosom of his own family. His
love and affection for them amounts
almost to alteration.
Whatever his political course has
been, or however open 1t has been to
criticism, Mr.. Bayard has been IN
exalted type Of . true, devoted husband
and affectionate father. Though he has
in two weeks lost two Of the brightest
and dearest jewels Of his heart, he still
has large family to love and cherish,
and 1t 10 the sincere desire OF every
true American heart that silver edgine

ed him may grow speedily and rapidly
until the darkness shall be succeeded
by the cheerful light Of Joy and hop,
