Profanity Among the English.

heard an Englishman say, not long
ago, that the reason he liked to be asso.
ciated with certain man in business, al
though that man was not very prompt in
paying him his salary, was, that he
always spoke to him as gentleman, and
never swore at him. Another man who
offered him better position, he hesitated
to go with because he peppered his con-
versation with oaths. Not that the
Englishman was such tenderfoot. but
he did not like such rough language. He
said that it irritated him to have a man
say to him, even though he meant to be
perfectly amiable, Where the h have
you been all this timer" 1t was form Of
greeting which. while intended to be cor
dial. was unpleasant.
He did not deny that Englishmen swore.
but he said he never heard oaths among
the same class of Englishmeu as were
used by Americans Of the same set. Of
course You do not expect to hear woman
use profane expressions. but an English
woman will not use any of the violent
words that even an American lady has in
her vocabulary. You may offend an Eng
fish woman to the last point of her en-
durance. but she will only be "vexed, " or,
under unusually strong emotion, very
vexed." | notice that the young Ameri

English manners are very soft spoken

The city cousin had gone down to the
farm to spend month, and appeared on
the morning after his arrival, ready for
action, at the picnic which stood first in
the order of events. He carried cane

wagon; his hat was attached by ribbon
to his buttonhole, another cord secured
his colored glasses, and a field glassNwas
slung upon his back.

The Pig Headed Passenger.

A correspondent wants to know why
railway companies do not arrange to have
all passengers go out at the front end and
enter at the rear end of a car. He doesn't
know the perversity of the average pas-

United States Army Scouts.

United States army scouts may be d.
vided into two classes: white men, who
rank as chief of scouts, and Indian scouts,
who are organized as military companies.
The white scouts are usually men who
have been employees Of the San Carlos and
Mescalero Apache reservations, or Indian
agencies. They are, from constant associ-
alton with the Indians, we'll acquainted
with their character and habits, and fire.

He Revolts Against Cruelty.

1t is rather in others and for others that
the modern civilized man breads pain. He
finds it harder to know that other men are
suffering the pains of cold or hunger in
Kansas or Ireland or India; or that "pris-
oners of poverty" are working for pit
tances in the great cities; or that laboring
men are driven TO work sixteen hours q
day; or that criminals are tortured or mis-
treated in the chain gang; or that "politi-
calls" are driven to insanity in the Russian
state prisons. He resents and Furnishes
cruelty to animals where his great grand
father, perhaps, thought nothing of send
ing slave to the whipping post. He re-
volts even against harshness In just
punishment, and desires to alleviate some
Of the horrors of hanging. If he ignores
a case of cruelty, it is from lack of ON
niscience; let him know about it. and the
world shall know his feelings about it.
Wherefore and Copley might go on for
years telling Englishmen of the horrors

Just come to our knowledge. A man and

opium for years, and one of their chief de-
lights was in indulging themselves over
the pipe in each others company, each TAX

In despair they took their pipe to
solace themselves, and behold as they
pulled at the pipe the smoke was waited
to the child's nostrls, and. giving .
sneeze, he instantly revived and began to
cry. Upon inhaling more Of the smoke
he changed his crying into laughing and
became exceedingly lively. After that he
was all right as long as he inhaled the
smoke at regular periods Of the day.
One day, however, his parents neglected

AN INDIAN LOVE SONG. /:

His winter home the bear forsakes,
The red deer swims the shining lakes, 4
Up foaming falls the salmon leaps, -.
The wild sheep halts on dizzy sleeps
The swans are northward flying.
With laughing voice the rivers run, -
Their pillows flashing in thesun;
1t is the moon Of sprouting grass,
A thousand warm sweet breezes pass,
Through lofty pine tops signing.
With bounding steps the antelope
Springs lightly down the mountain slope;
To verdant plains the bison HES
The eagle mounts the morning skies,
And all the birds are mating.
With life and joy all things are bright,
Come forth, my Lowell my souls delight,
Thy wigwam's folds throw wide apart,
For thee, oh dear and tender heart,
Thy lover true is waiting.

The tariff organs have labored hard
to influence public opinion against the
Mills bill by quoting forged extracts
from a recent article in the London
Engineer on Japan as a market for
British Manufacturers:
"Of American competition in Japan
we have little to fear. 1t is well known
that America, in consequence of its
protective tariff, cannot compete with
us in iron and steel manufactures in
outside markets, and it is obstructed in
Japan, SO far as heavy goods are con-
cerned, by high freights, because such
goods. most of which comes from
eastern States, must pass through the
Suez Canal, as railroad freights across
the continent are too high"
Still, the tariff organs try TO make
American voters believe that the
English manufacturers are longing for
a reduction of our high tariff.

A Few Pointers TO Think Over.
Irran 8. shll cam, p.posIl.I 4 Z

ITron he sArk copnsy pemoertt { A
FIRsT-Atarifi Is d tax, that Is paid
In every case by the party who finally
uses or consumes the goods.
SECoND-Ouf present tariff taxes
were levied, not for the purpose of pros
teetl0n, either to capital OF labor, but to
raise money 10 equip q great army to
fight the most gigantic and longest en-
during war Of modern times.
THIRD-The war closed over twenty
three years ago, and now, when 1t is
proposed to lift the great burden of
war taxes from the shoulders of the
American people, the advocates of the
relief policy are held up as the enc
mics of the American system of protec-
ton.
FoURTH-The statistics on every
article that is covered by a tariff show
that wages are no higher in that In
dustry than in other branches of labor
that are not protected. This evidence
is conclusive, extending over q genera
ton of men, that q tariff does not even
tend to raise wages on the article pro-
tected.
To illustrate: Lumber is protected.
The men who work in the lumber
camps of northern Michigan and Wis
consin, get no better pay than farm
hands in the same localities. Salt is
protected. The men who work in the
salt mines of Saginaw get no better pay
than the men who dig bitches on the
adjoining farms.
Pottery ware is highly protected
The men who work In the potteries of
East Liverpool have had their wages
reduced 40 per cent. during the past IA
years and they get no more pay than
the unprotected artisans that work by
their side in East Liverpool. Iron ore
is highly protected. The men who dig
ore in the mines of Pennsylvania, get
no more pay than the men who clean
up the streets of Philadelphia; in fact
they get less.
This is not theory.
This is not speculation.
This is the practical demonstration
of the theory of protection.
This is the logic of facts.
FIFTH-In two countries in Europe
side by side, with equal advantages
England and Germany-one revenue
tariff, the other protection, wages are
higher in England.
SIXTH-All the paupers that come
to the United States to crowd out the
American laborer and bear down prices,
come from highly protected countries
like italy. None come from England.
SEvENTH-The lowest wage country,
in Europe or Asia, is the most highly
protected, and the highest wage coun-
try is free trade England.
EIGHTH-The tariff tax is the most
unjust tax in the world, because it is
tax on labor and does not rest on capi-
tai. A poor man pays more of it than
a rich man, because he usually wears
out more clothes and has the most chill
dren to support.
NINTH-An experience of twenty
years with high tariff tax in this
country has made more millionaires
of capitalists and more tramps and
paupers of laboring men; has inaugur-
ated more strikes and lockouts than
any other country, for the same length
of time, on either side of the Atlantic.
Think over these propositions seri-
ously and without prejudice, and see if
we are not right. Ifso, don't vote for
Ben Harrison, who is nothing but a
representative of monopoly, and the
tool of trusts and money sharks.

The breath of a chronic catarrh
patient is often so offensive that he be-
comes an object of disgust. After a
time liberation sets in, the spongy
bones are attacked, and frequently en-
tirely destroyed. A constant source of
discomfort is the dripping of the puru-
let secretions into the throat, some
times producing inveterate bronchitis,
which in its turn has been the exciting
cause of pulmonary disease. The brill
liants results which have attended its
