A Village DESTROYED by Ice.

Advices from the fishing village Of
kerschkaranza, in Kola, a peninsula
on the White sea, describe wonder
full phenomenon, new in Arctic annals,
which took place on January 5th last.
At 4 O'Clock in the morning the in
habitants were awakened by a series
of heavy, dull detonations like heavy
artillery. Shortly afterward a great
ice wall to the northwest, several
hundred feet high, was seen to be
moving toward the village, doubtless
in consequence of the pressure of the
ocean of ice outside. The ice hills
came slowly but irresistibly onward,
and passed over the village, which
they completely erased, and kept on
ward for mile inland. The ice trav-
eled a mile and half in four hours.
The villagers saved their lives, but
little else.-Philadelphia Press,

Turner, saying that he had been ar

imploring his father to get him out of
the scrape. Young Turner answers to
the description of Tascott, and carries

supposed the inscription has been

wOMAN's WEIGHT AND HEIGHT.

From the Rochester Educational Gazette. !
For a woman of 8 feet 5 inches, l3S
pounds is the weight, and if she be
well.formed she can stand another ten
pounds without greatly showing it.
When her arms are extended she should
measure from tip of middle finger to
tip of middle finger just 5 feet 5
inches, exactly her W height. The
length of her hand should be inst one
tenth of that and her feet just a seventh,
and the diameter OF her chest Il fifth.
From her thighs TO the ground she
should measure just what she measures
from the thighs TO the top of the head.
The knee should come exactly midway
between the thigh and heel. The dis
lance from the elbow TO the middle
finger should be the same as the dis
lance from the elbow to the middle of
the chest. From the top Of the head to
the chin should be just the length of
the foot, and there should be the same
distance between the chin and the arm
pits. A woman of this height should
measure "a inches about the waist and
81 inches about the bust, if measured
from under the arms, and 43 inches if
v them. The, upper arm should
measure IL inches and the wrist 6. The
calf of the leg should measure 141
inches, the thigh % and the ankle 3.
There is another system OF measure
ments which says the distance twice
around the thumb should go once
around the wrist; twice around the
wrist once around the throat; twice
around the throat once around the
waist, and SO on; but the first is the
measure used by sculptors, who have
gained them by measurements of the
Greek statues.

house, as well as being interested in
nearly all our local industries, is IL in

change are the most cogent and con-
vincing of any that have ever been
advanced in this part Of the state. The
announcement of DIR. Bennet'd change
OF politics was wholly unexpected by
the republican leaders in this part of
Ohio, who had been expecting him to
contribute his money and make repub-
lican speeches as usual. The striking
points made by DIR. Bennett in favor
of tariff reform have dnmbfounded his
former political associates. He says
that there are thousands of republicans
IN Ohio who hold his views and Wh)
will vote as he does, but who will not
care to create personal and business
antagonisms by publicly announcing
their intention. DR.. Bennett will take

KEEP Y0UR EYES ON OHIO.
,Isedalia Democrat, Sept. OIL

T. A. Leckliter, sheriff of Darke
county, o was in the city yesterday,
en- route TO Allen county, Kas. Darke
county is in Congressman Yoder's dis
trict, and never fails to roll up 1900
majority for the democratic ticket.
"We're keeping the republicans busy

Democrat reporter, "and don't you for

workingmen are deserving the republl-
o party by the hundreds. The labor
records of Harrison and Morton cannot
be choked down the throats of Amsri-

favors prohibition; in the cities where
the Germans are largely represented,

throw a large projectile nine miles.

EFFECT OF THE TARIFF ON WAGES.

PROF. F. W. Tsussig In the October Forum.l
Protective duties, so far as they affect
general wages at all, tend to lower
them by lessening the productiveness
of industry, and the workmen in the
protected industries themselves are not
helped in the long run. There is a
possible exception to this, III cases
were groups of workmen possess a
monopoly. Some of theB labor and
capital of the country is turned from
more productive channels TO less pro-
ductive. This, and this only, is the
usual and normal effect of a protective
duty. The labor and capital produce
less earthenware than they would yield
If turned to raising wheat or making
axes, and sending the wheat and axes
abroad to be exchanged for crockery.
AS consumers Of protected articles, the
members of the community are worse
off. Their industry produces less. and
they have less material commodities
and, to the extent that the product is
less, wages also are less. The real
effect of protective duties OH general
wages is to lower them by making the
return in labor smaller; and this low
ering of wages takes the concrete shape
of higher prices of the protected COM
modities.

had ''Hyed away" He gathered his
neighbors and they searched all night
for the child, and found the remains
this morning. The eagle, sitting near
by, was fred at by m OF the men and
struck in the wing, but attacked them
before it could be dispatched. Two
OF the searching party were badly torn
aud lacerated by the eagles talons.

ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS CONFIDENT.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, September
29.-Sate Superintendent of Schools

burg, Ill Mr.. Coleman reports the
democracy of the Sucker State alive
with enthusiasm. They confidently
believe that they will elect Gov. Palm
er and a majority of the Legislature on
join ballot, which will choose Senator
Cullom's successor. They also expect
to gain about three congressman and
have fair hopes of carrying the state
for Cleveland. The tariff agitation
is helping the democrats among the
farmers and laboring men beyond
question. Mr.. Coleman converted with
many leading democrats during his
visit and found them all of one senti-
ment and belief touching the prospect
of electiDg Palmer and a democratic
legislature. Palmer, it is thought, will
lead the national ticket several thous.

FREE RAW MATERIALS.
what The Philadelphia NnnufRc-
lurers Would Like to Have.

From the Philadelphia Times.l
Mr.. Bullock, one of The largest of
our woollen manufacturers and IA re-
publican, declares that without free
wool the woollen industries can'l DO
American market cant be supplied by
American mills and labor.
Mr.. Singerly, a democrat, who has
nearly half a million invested in wool
len nills, declares that he can't operate
his mills and employ labor AT fair wages
without free wool and chemicals
Mr.. Rhoads, of Secane, Delaware
county, Il republican woJllen manutac.
turer, says his woollen mills are idle
because they are taxed to idlenesS by
tariff taxes on raw materials.
Mr.. DObsOn, one ot the leading car
pet manufacturers of the country and
a republican, stated The exact truth
when he declared to II congressional
committee that with free raw materials
and rs per cent tariff OH his products
he could manufacture protitably. The
present average tariff tax on carpets is
1881 per cent, ranging from 2i.76 on
hemp TO GLIB on tapestry Brussels and
1892 on druggets.
Mr.. Drexel, the most succeasful and
conservative of N American bankers,
and specially interested in the business
and industrial! prosperity OF the coun-
try, speaks for intelligent and honest
republicans like himself when he de-
clares that free raw materials are a
necessity to successful industries in the
United States.
Does Mr.. Singerly seek to destroy
his half-milliOn WOOL, n mill to serve a
party purpose? DO Messrs. Drexel,
Bullock, Dobson and Rhoades testify
against the mistaken policy OF their
party from other motives than a sincere
desire to prosper industry and protect
labor?
A large majority OF tho wool con
sumed in this country is imported from
other countries either in raw materials
or in manufactured goods. and even
under the high tariff tax of IL per
cent to protect wool, the wool industry
is steadily declining in the Older states.
The battles for free raw materials
used by our general productive indus
tries is the great battle Tor the disin-
tralment of the workingmen of the
country. 1t is a battle for enlarging
our products; for enlarging wages by
increased demand for wOrkingmen; for
reduction in the cost of the neCessaries
of life and for cheapening our Ameri-
peting in foreign markets.

MAKE IT UNANIMOUS.

Editor Siugerly, of Philadelphia, de-
clares that a remarkable change has
taken place in the political situation in
Pennsylvania. He asserts that the
growth of a sentiment in favor of tariff
reform has been wonderful, not only
among the laboring people but among
the wealthy men who have profited in
the past through high protection. The
fact that an intimate friend of Chairman
Quay puts down the expectation of the
republican majority in the state at 3d.,
900 shows that Mr.. Singerly is not
alone in his opinion. If the predicted
change in Pennsylvania is an index of
the situation in the rest Of the country
the popular majority of Cleveland and
Thu man will be enormous.
