An old machinist of Pltnbure, In
response to request from represen-
tative Of the American People, peri.
odical published In that city, for some
recollections Of low tariff times, said;
81 remember when the Polk and
Dallas tariff Of 1916 shut down the
mills Of Pittsburg and all the blast fur.
! naces of Pennsylvania. That was
when Dallas cast the deciding vote In
the United States Senate, that for a
time killed the industries of this coun.
try. / used to be on the old Pennsyl.
vania canal some In those days, and i
mind two furnaces built on the Como.
maugh-onc at Lockport, Westmore-
land County, and another near Johns
town. This Polk and Dallas tariff
knocked out all the furnaces. The
one at Lockport had been built by a
man named McGill, who was well.
known along the canal. He was swept
tout of business, and took things so
hard that he died soon after. That's
what tariff reform did for Pennsyl-
vania. Have you ever seen the ruins
| of those old blast furnaces up through
Clarion County, Well, the tariff OF
1916 closed them down, and they were
never lighted again.

chanics tramped the streets looking for
work. was working in a shop at First
and Ferry streets then, and l will
never forget the droves OF weary and
discouraged machinists that came in
there to ask for work.
"A man who had job them days
stuck to it mighty close. Laborers
were glad to get work at almost any
rate of wages.
Talk about cheap goodsl We had
'em then. We could buy English
calico at levy yard, but not an inch
Of Massachusetts prints could be got in

calico now for eight cents a yard, but

they were giving lis cheap goods.

less than they do now. The old chaps
can remember what kind of wages we
got then. Good workmen OF my trade
could be hired for q dollar q day, and
even at tnAt Q man often had to take
the biggest part Of his wages out in
store orders. The generation of &C.
tive men In Pittsburg to-day know
mighty little about the practical effect
\ of tariff reduction, but older men have
had the experience. You just mind,
( II the tariff is meddled with too much,
Pittsburg workingmen will be aston

What Becomes of Antlers,

1t has been observed that in a dis.
trict where several thousand deer are
kept, and where, consequently, there
must be hundreds OF stays who every
year cast off couple of horns each.
only now and then is specimen OF
these horns met with. The author OF
"Forays Among Salmon and Deer"
accounts for TINS fact upon the au.
thority OF one familiar with the habits
OF the animal.
They either bury their horns, or
destroy them with their teeth. He
says that lie has himself seen deer at
the period OF spring. when they cast
their horns, tramping them down in
the moist soil OF the peat-bogs which
are SO numerous among the hills.
That they were so employed he has
abundant proof. for more than once,
after thus disturbing the deer, he has
gone to the spot and discovered the
remains OF horns half-buried and
broken up, the fragments having the
marks of teeth upon them.
Though it may be thought that the
horns are OF substance too hard for
this, yet the jaws OF the deer are so
very powerful. Another considera-
tion which makes this more probable
is that scarcely ever are the horns OF
II young stag discovered, being, OF
course, from their size, more easy Of
destruction than the antlers of q full.
grown one.

but they grow weary after q time

Who ls Never craxy,

There are many firm believers in the

mind u number of our readers OF some
incident in their experience. which at
the time OF it's occurrence seemed to
them most unaccountabie:

philosopher will hunt for the specks

stupor with one hand gone. For q
few seconds her mind failed, and she
sat by her machine u temporary luna

The Great Enternrises.

There Is nothing in the recent his.
tory OF the world that is more re.
markable than the formidable and
costly works that nave been under
taken in our age to annihilate
space and time and promote ease and
economy OF transport. Every modern
nation has contributed its quota to
this movement. Great Britain has
been the pioneer OF the railway sys-
tenn. and has, besides, constructed a
system OF canals, some 4, 900 miles in
extent, and involving an expenditure
OF ego, 900, OO0lto ETC, 900, 900, which,
though far from being as useful as it
might be made, and greatly over shad-
owed by the omnipotent and omnipres-
emit iron way, is still found ofgreat nd.
vantage in the transport of heavy
commodities. In France canal navi.
CATION is much more valued and
utilized than in England, and the wa.
terways are especially looked aft,
er by the government, which
has recently undertaken a large
expenditure for their further
development. Germany, like France,
has canal system of considerable
extent, and has in hand at the pres.
emit time two important links in the
chain of such communications-,l Gu
nal 1853 miles long, from Dortmund to
Emden harbor, which is to cost g..
233, 900, and the improvement of the
navigation from the Oder at Furs-
tenbnrg to the Upper Spree at Berlin,
a distance OF 81 miles, at an estimat-
ed cost of 100000. Further east,
the Isthmus of Corinth has almost
been pierced by a canal which con.
meets the Mediterranean and the
Adriatic with the Archipelago and the
Black Sea, thus shortening the dis.
tance between the Pirpeus and Mar
settles by II per cent, while Genoa
is brought nearer by ~, Venice and
Trieste by IS, and Brindisi by 80 per
cent. The length OF this canal is, how.
ever, only 4 miles. the greatest depth
OF cutting being 2S5 feet, and the to.
tai amount of excavation being es-
timated at 100000 cubic yards.
Russia, again, has recently completed
u maritime canal between Cronstadt
and St. Petersburg 1s miles in length
and 90 miles Ill depth, over floor
216 feet in width. This, canal, howev-
er, was a comparatively easy under
taking. 1t was cut through the sub.
merged Delta OF the Neva. in u depth
OF water varying from feet near st.
Petersburg to 20 feet near Cron-
stadt.-The Fortnightly Review.
