PIRATE OF THE WORLD.
What the Democratic New York "Su
Saws of Free Trade,

Says of Free Trade.
Great Britain has ruined every country
in the world which she has persuaded or
forced into free trade. Her commercial
treaties, cozened u of Portugal, Spain
and Turkey, destroyed the industries of
each of these countries and made them
poor. Her cheap goods crushed out the
ancient household manufactures of the In
dian Empire, which she overran, and left
millions Of the conquered people with the
bare subsistence of rice and water. A
British amy of invasion forced China to
admit into her territory the opium which
the British merchant could market only
in the empire, and forced the entry
through the custom houses Of China Of
British merchandise ut the destructive
duty of 2 per cent. adj valorem.
1t was the massacre of the industry Of 9
magnificent and venerable empire, and o.
countless thousands of poor Chinese men
women and children. These cheap goods
pirates in like manner covered Japan with
the guns of their war ships and compelled
her to receive the fiimsy products of Biz.
mingham, Manchester and Sheffield at the
uniform duty of five per cent. ad valorem
That is free trade, and it is strangling the
life out of helpless Japan.
The experience of Ireland is too wei.
known TO need mention here.
England, indeed, is the commercial pi-
rate Of the world. She IS now ~strainine

Still aluays groweth in me the great wonder,
When all the fields are blushing like the dawn,
And only one poor little flower plowed under,
That / can see no flowers, that one being gone,
No flower Of all, because of one being gone.
Ave, ever In me groweth the great wonder,
When all the fields g re shining, white and red,
And My one poor little flower plowed under,
That it were all as one IL all were dead:
Aye, all as one If all the flowers were dead.
I cannot feel the beauty of the roses:
Their scft leaves seem to me but layers OF
dust;
Gu of nay opening hand each blessing closes;
Nothing Is left to me but hope and trust.
Nothing but heavenly hope and heavenly
trust:

Strange somehow, grow the old familiar faces;
For / can nothing have. not having thee;

Yea, drown us in the waters of affection
Breast high, to make us know our treasures

To make US know how much our love is worth.

Breaks, as the wave breaks or the hindering

Even as the sunshine hides the lessening star
And with true love / love thee from afar.

Women to ~ omen.

Women ought to be kinder to each
other-the pretty ones to the plain, be-
cause of what they miss in the gift and
power of beauty; the plain 20 the beauti-
iul, for the certain bitter in their expe-
rience. L have known women to whom
their uncommon beauty was an annoyance,
almost a curse. In my school days a girl
of Southern beauty, with peachy cheeks
and dark, velvety eyes, used to be so an
noyed by the insolent, prosecuting admira-
ton of men on the cars that she gave up
going to Boston for lessons. There was no
afiectation about it. She was a modest,
well-bred girl, and the notice she attracted
would have been odious to any woman.
Extremely beautiful women are not sell
dom genuinely modest and unconcerned
about their looks, far more SO than palmer
ones anxious to Cultivate beauty"
One OF the most charming women of the
Philip Livingston family once told me she
never knew she was at all pretty till she
VEN TO Europe, long past thirty. OF
course, she said, she knew her husband
thought she was ~good-looking, but she sup
posed it was his Partially If you can't
see a kind of simplicity in this, sweeter
than roses and milk compilations, or lew
elry eyes, | am very sorry. To the women
who have their own way to make in the
world, good looks, beyond a decent, unob-
trusiye comeliness, are as much weight to
carry as advantage. In the first place, no
matter how modest, how worthy in them
selves, they run dead against some wo-
mans jealousy, and it will go hard, but she
can embitter life for them.
The malignancy Of women toward wo-
men is something incomprehensible, en-
during and of a iiendish capability. 1t is
the insanity of female natures. They can
not endure or believe in anything frank.
generous and free of spirit. They would
have all women secretive, crafty, calculat-
ing as themselves. We are on the verge
Of times that wall call for more than
beauty in women-more han cleverness
in men. We have but twenty-five years
taken breath from a conflict that was but
preliminary to the wider struggle against
injustice, not to race only, but to all peo-
pie, in all relations in our own right
hands and in our " hearts. If there is
not found with women faith, truth, and
that kindness which is Gods likeness, then
and before then, the striving for place and
rule, the bitterness and jealousy shall in
faded and lusterless womanhoOd fulfill the
word 'for sweet smell, offense; for well set
hair, badness; and burning for beauty

How to on

Take the harness apart wherever it can
be unbuckled give each strap a good
wash, using lukewarm water with a little
washing soda in it. Scrub well with a
%scrubbing brush, and be sure that you get
all the grease and dirt off. Work we'll in
the hands until soft and plant, for it is no
use to apply oil on dry, horny leather-it
will never become soft. After this has
been done hang in a room where they will
not dry too rapidly, until about three
parts dry. Then apply plentifully on both
sides pure cod liver oil-this has more
body and lasting quality than any other
grease for leather tanned with bark. Be
sides. if you use neatsfoot oil, rats and
mice will eat FOUR harness, while that
creased with cod oil they will not touch.
After giving a good coat of this oil hang
up until dry. Then l would go over them
again with the oil, giving them but a light
coat of it this time. After that dries in
wipe off with a dry, coarse cloth. For
common work harness nothing more is
needed, but for carriage harness go over
with a sponge and CASTLE SOAP, and wipe
gith a dry chamois skin, and You NAV de-
pend upon it there will be no black to rub
of on your hands.-Country Gentleman.

sbe wanted ! husband,

GOOD luck seems not to come the wav OF
Agnes Schmidt. Her first matrimonial
adventure was anything but a success, ex-
cept that the man she had called husband
and who recently died had given her $500
not to make a fuss when she learned that
he had another wife.
Buxom grass widows of q, as we'll as
other widows, don't like to take chances at
winning husbands. Agnes Schmidt was
soon weary of donning weeds, for in truth
she had but a fractional interest in the
| widowhood. Last Sunday she advertised
in a local German daily for a correspond
ent, who must be intelligent and respecta-
bic, and Of course blessed with other re-
quisites for a life partnership. The adj
vertisement modestly admitted the youth
and other charms which might under &C
ceptable conditions be considered in the
matrimonial market.
Among the many replies was a letter
from George Stelzer, who seemed to imme-
diately meet with favor in the grass wild
owls estimation. She found that he was
living at 703 Blue Island avenue, and
worked at McCormick's Reaper Works.
He called around early yesterday to
escort the fair charmer to Lincoln Park.
They ate a comfortable lunch in the cool
shades of the Lovers Retreat" and started
on the trip home. On the way she wanted
to test the sincerity of S%telzer's profes-
sions of love and requested him to buy her
some ice cream.
Stelzer was not prepared for this and
was obliged TO decline for want of ready
money.
60" said Agnes, with a cold voice, and
she went into the place of entertainment
and ordered some ice cream, which she ate
with depressed spirits. When she went to
settle her bill she found her pocketbook
empty. 1t had contained 1915 in the
morning, the remnant of that $500 already
mentioned. Stelzer was arrested and
locked up at the Desplaines street station,
but he swears he did not take the money.

cleveland Cannot Avoid His Record

Mr.. Cleveiand's treaty was rejected by
Republican votes exclusively; every Dem
ocratlc vote in the Senate was cast in IA
vor of its ratification. If he had cared to
try retaliation at any time within the last
seventeen months, he had ample authority
to do so; but he turned a deaf ear to Ill
petitions for such action, and left our un-
protected fishermen at the mercy of Can
adam prejudice and hostility. This is not
to be forgotten simply because he chooses
now to affect a miraculous willingness to
resort to arbitrary measures. He will be
held to account for the scandalous treaty
which he caused TO be negotiated the same
as if 1T had not been rejected by a Repub-
can Senate. His message is too obviously
designed to lift him out of a very damag-
ing predicament by observing the real IS
sue, and stealing the thunder Of his p
nents. He cannot separate himself from
his record in that audacious and dishonest
manner. The policy that he would have
enforced but for the patriotic resistance of
the Republicans in only part of the Gov
erment which they controli is one by which
the voters Of the country will insist upon
judging him, and he may as well make up
his mind to that unpleasant and discourage
ing fact in his situation.-St. Louis Globe

Closely connected as mythology and
folklore are shown to have been, saws J. A.
Farrer, it is difficult or impossible 10 say N
any given case whether the superstition is
derived from the myth or the myth from
the superstition. The usual method of in
depreciation deduces superstition from
mythology, making the latter the primary
starting point. But it is often quite as
likely that the custom was there first, and
that the myth made use of already existing
customs; for instance, that the horse
figured conspicuously in legend be-
cause it had long been an object of worship
or superstition, is as likely az that it be-
came an object of worship or superstition
because it figured so couspicuously in
legend. The horse is thickly set in folk
lore. In parts of Germany a horses head
may still be seen over the doors of cattle
stalls or about the liOuse-a custom which
survives among ourselves in the luck at
lacking to a horses hoof. This, perhaps,
dates from the custom of our ancestors.
mentioned by Tacitus, of keeping white
horses in sacred groves at the pub
lie expense and idle, and forecast
ing the future from their neighings.
A horses neighing always presages victory
to a warrior, as his silence presages defeat,
and the French anticipated disaster at
Agincourt from the fact of their horses not
neighing on the eve of battle. A horses
hoof under a child's pillow is supposed to
be a preventive from commissions 4 horses
teeth are a safeguard against toothache,
and houses at which they shy are threat
ened with calamity. There is noreason to
look for any more abstruse explanation for
the part which animals, birds, fishes and
insects play in the tales Of the gods and
heroes than the fact that they were already
accredited in popular superstition with the
powers which they display in the stories.
Seeing how many of the European peas
antry still construct mythologies in an old
fashioned way, and cling to the old views
in spite of science, we should have less
difficulty in believing thae the Greeks and
Hindoos originally proceeded in the same
fashion, without that constant reference to
the struggle between light and darkness

Settling q Railroad Loss.

yesterday, and one day went out to settle

outright, and horses and buggy smashed to
pieces. They had the dead-wood on us for
$4,000 as the engineer did not signal the
crossing. ! went out to make an offer of
about $4,000. The widow was not able
to sit up, and ! stopped at a store in the
village and bought some oranges and
