The Tariff Tax.
Wa shing ngton Critic.

"Daniel," remarked the president with sigh this morning, as he stood by the window and watched his wife's two dogs, well blanketed, walking up and down the back yard
 "Yes, sire," responded Daniel, draw ing near tho window.
 "Do you see those two dogs?"
 "Yes, sire"
 "And their blankets, Daniel? Do you see them?"
 "More than I see the dogs, sire"
 "Yes, Daniel; those blankets cost me SIS in cash"
 "Great heavens, sirew gasped Daniel, clutching at his pocket book.
 "Yes, Daniel and that's why Iwrote my message so strongly in favor of tariff reform. Dog blankets are neces- sities of life, Daniel, and they must not be taxed"
 Then the president sat down to his desk and resumed his labors.

In His Element.
Youths Companion.

It is expedient to humor "the twig" that has an inclination-the tree will be all the better for it. Pope expresses but half-truth in his lines |: 'Tis education forms the common mind: Just as the twig IS bent, the trees inclined" 7" for many tree has been distorted by inclining the twig against it's bent.
 The Rev. David Wilkie was much troubled by the fact that David, his son, had tried three schools, and in each of them had shown himself in- different to classical knowledge. The good father was also annoyed at the lads propensity to cover the walls, the kitchen pavement, and the un- carpeted floors of the manse with fig ures of men and beasts drawn in vari- ous attitudes.
 Even in church, when he should have listened to his fathers sermons, the rogue, ignoring the sacredness of the kirk, would draw on the blank leaves of his psalm-book and bible, portraits of the remarkable faces in the congregation.
 Sorrowfully convinced that though the boy would not make a scholar, much less minister, he might make a painter, MT. Wilkie made applica- tion for his admission as pupil of the Edinburg Academy of Fine Art. The secretary looked at the lads drawings, pronounced them worth less, and rejected the application.
 Private influence reversed the sec retary's decision; young Wilkie be- came pupil, gained prize, went to London, where he became "the Raphael of domestic art" and as Sir David Wilkie made name which was hon. ored at home and abroad.
 One day gentleman of culture and taste, while walking in the suburb of Edinburg, stepped into shoemaker's cottage. He was surprised to see on the whitewashed wall several admirable representations of animals drawn with red chalk and charcoal. On commend ing them to the shoemaker's wife, she answered:
 "Hoot! these are bits O drawings O GOT Davie; he was seein' some wild beasts at show, and he's caulked them there to let me see them"
 Indeed," said the gentleman, "and what do you intend to make of that boy?"
 "Deed, he'll jist need to sit doon on the stool aside his father, and learn to mak and mend shoon [shoes]."
 The gentleman, thinking that cob- bling was not exactly the employ ment tor boy who could execute such drawings, persuaded house. painter to take Davie as an appren- tice. Industry and genius made the youth a painter of dramatic scenery then he painted the gothic ruins of Scotland. By these means he obtained the means of making tours in Nor mandy and Spain, from which coun- tries he returned with pictures that brought money and reputation.
 The shoemaker's son was David Roberts, one of the most gifted of British artists.

Two Girls Ways.
London Truth.

Have you ever noticed what an inn mense difference there is in the way some girls finish off their toilets? Some of them have knack of adding just few dctt touches. which com plete the picture, so to speak, working it up to pitch of perfection, while others leave themselves with the raw edges, as it were, though equally de- sirous 10 look well. Now, there are two grown-up Gray girls. The elder is large featured and tight laced. She is always carcssing her waist with her two hands, and pifOuettes before every glass, because, as she says, she has taken such trouble with her tiny waist that she likes to see it as often as possible. She has not the art of neatly finishing off. The loose hlir at the back of her neck hangs rough and untidy, while her sisters curls round in the most natural and taking little rings. When the elder puts on her gown she gen erally tastens it an inch or two to one side, out of pure carelessness: but the younger girls hangs true and straight as die. The other day, when Hilda was playing tennis, huge cushion covered with brown silk suddenly ap- peared among the folds of her blue dress. Such catastrophe would sim ply be impossible with Eva. Yet she takes a shorter time to dress than Hilda.
 But perhaps the greatest difference is to be observed when they are dressed to go and make calls. Eva has way of putting on bonnet which I have never yet seen rivaled. She puts down her hair at the sides, making it lie quite close to her pretty little head, and pulls out the rings of her fringe in way that can only be described by the American signification of the word cunning" And when she wears a veil, which is only on windy days, she manages, by means of two little pleats in the middle of the top part, to make it most ornamental little article, which is neither unduly loose nor yet presses too tightly upon her daintily- waved fringe.
 Now Hilda, though she takes just as much pains with her bonnets, never succeeds in the same degree. Even if her nose were not red from tight lacing, she would never look as trim and smart as Eva. Her dress fuckers, whether ribbon or frills, have way of getting submerged under the collar of her bodices, and partly, if not wholly, disappearing. Now, Eva's are simply perfection. They seem to lie close to her neck, as if they were fond of it. She reminds one of Be- Hnda, in Pope's poem, with the mul- titudinous little fairies arranging her curls, and the hundred and -one details of a pretty woman's toilet.

Not everywhere, of course, but usu- ally, and where they do not and art is necessary, we are at least on a par with our competitors. In the matter of labor, it doesn't concern us. The work on the farms we speak of is done by the family, and is good healthy la- Dor and won't hurt any one. And yet there is choice between six months splashing around in slush, mud, sleet and winds of northern corn fields and barn yards, and three or four months feeding in the sunny valleys and shel- tered feed-lo of Arkansas.
 It cannot be denied that the advan- tages are with the south, and if it pays to raise big short horn and Durham steers in Illinois, it will pay better to raise them here. 1t may be question whether it pays to raise them any where. We only claim that if it pays in any state it will pay here, and we have noticed that men who have nice, big, sleek steers for sale every fall usu- ally ride ill buggies and dress their children well. Does any one ask where is the best part of Arkansas for stock raising? It is hard to tell. Tn the northern counties there are some magnificent opportunities in the val leys and hills. The climate and water cannot he surpassed and the wild grass is knee-high everywhere. In the southwestern counties the same is true. Then there are the prairie lands equal to similar lands in Illinois or Kansas. There are the bottoms of in- numerable rivers and creeks all over the state, where pasture for thousands of cattle may be had for nothing. There are no obstacles which may not be overcome, and we long to see these waste places utilized. Let every man own a few head of cattle, even though he cannot have herd.

SUPERINTENDENT OF THE NEW YORK
STATE FISHERY COM
MISSION.

Seth Green, the famous piscicultur-
ist and superintendent of the New
York State Fishery Commission, is
dead. He was in the seventy-second
year of his age, having been born at
Rochester, New York, on the 10th of
March, 1917. Mr.. Green had world
wide reputation as a sportsman and
pisciculturist. 1t was mainly through
his eXertions that the streams and
lakes of New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and New England
were stocked with shad, bass, trout
and other edible fish, and it is owing
to his efforts that these streams and
lakes today are teeming with fish of
all kinds. Mr.. Green was fisher
man from his earliest bOyhood. AS
soon as he had learned how to bend
pin he began to fish. From the
very first he was most successful
angler. He once said: II used to
catch large strings of fish and the
boys thought there was a charm in
the pin hook. L have many times
had boys while fishing come to me
and want me to spit on their bait so
that they might have luck" AS he
grew older fishing to him became an
intense passion.
He was only about eighteen years
old when he began series of eX-
periments in the waters of lakes On
tario and Erie with the view to de-
wise the most effective methods of
taking fish for market. He opened
fish market in Rochester in the spring
of 1913 and soon became the largest
fish dealer as well as the greatest
fisherman in the state. After having
been twenty-nine years in the bust
ness as fisherman he bought, in the
year 1864, portion of Caledonia
Creek, and began the artificial propa-
CATION of fish. In short time, as the
result of experiments with brook
trout, he discovered the dry method
of the impregnation of spawn. Mr..
Green succeeded in the artificial pro-
pagation of shad in the Connecticut
river in 1867, a feat never before ac-
complished, and which he was in
duced to try by the New England
Fish Commission. A fishery commits
sion was appointed in New York state
in 1868 and Mr.. Green was made one
of the three commissioners. Two
years afterwards he resigned this
position and became superintendent
of the commission, which owns a
hatchery at Caledonia and another at
Cold Spring Harbor.
The sole ambition of his life, as he
himself expressed it, was to make
good fish abundant. This in Ger ain
measure he succeeded in doing, and
he was everywhere regarded as pub
lie benefactOr.

MaggotS in His Ear.

A gentleman named Lord, from
Alabama, had some days ago, says
the Greens bOro, (Ga.) Herald, "a fly
to enter his ear suddenly, but it was
promptly extricated. The insect then
as suddenly disappeared. On that
night Mr.. Lord experienced a sensa-
ton of itching in his ear. This grew
in intensity and pain until it was I'M
bearable. He went to Athens for re-
lief, but remedies applied failed to
afford it. Coming to Woodville, he
stated his case to DIR. Durham. The
acute pain had by this time nearly
thrown the gentleman into convul-
sions. Dr. Durham, after applying an
anaesthetic to the ear, inserted a
cOpiOus drench, which brought out no
less than eleven well-develOped mag
