Peculiar Business Methods.

1t is a popularity of the Indian of
Ecuador that he will sell nothing at
wholesale, nor will he trade anywhere
but in the market place, in a spot where
he and his forefathers have sold garden
truck" for three centuries. Although
travellers on the highways meet armies of
Indians bearing heavy burdens of vege-
tables and other supplies upon their
backs, they can purchase nothing from
them, as the native will not sell his
goods until he gets to the place where he
is in the habit of selling them. He will
carry them ten miles, and dispose of
them for less than he was offered for
them at home. We met one day an old
woman trudging along with a heavy
basket of pineapples and other fruits,
and tried to relieve her of part of her
load, offering ten cents for ~pineapples
which could be obtained for q quartilo
two and a half cents in market. She
was polite, but firm, and declined to sell
anything until she got to town, although
there was a weary, dusty journey of w
leagues ahead Of her.-American Maya

The common sense idea of dressing
children with a view to their health
rather han their looks has received a
noteworthy exemplifcation at the hands
of their h~ighnesses of Spain. Some
dresses recently made for the young
princesses were simple little frocks of
French muslin, pure white, with tucks
above the hem and rows of perpendicular
insertion above that. The bodices were
of a piece with the skirts, which were
provided with invisible tucks to let them
down as the children grow.-Chicago

plsposinr of House WASTE.

City sewage ehould be burned to be got
rid of. There Is no other safe method. 1
shall startle country people by adding
that they, too, must come to the same
method. Ordinary kitchen Stops should
be caught in pals and carried out at
once, to be poured into gardens or about
trees, and not repeatedly in or about one
place or tree. But the garbage that ami
mails will not eat should be promptly
cremated. Burn all decaying substances,
even old weed heaps, unless they can be
used in small quantities as mulching
about trees. A house drain to carry off
impure water and slops is unnecessary
and dangerous in the country.
A certain amount of house waste may
safely be composted with the ashes, and
frequently either plowed under or other
wise used on the crops. Privy waste is
safe nowhere, except when thoroughly
and daily mingled with dry dirt-very
dry-and then either use as land fertil-
izer to be plowed in or else cremated,
burned to a roast. The danger from
sewage when u into brooks and
streams is imminent. We have above
all to guard against polluting the water
supply of our families or our neighbors.
Most of the large streams that seem too
large to seriously be affected with the
waste from above are found t o be alive
with bacteria, that even do not die with
freezing. The water in summer and
the ice in winter, of our large rivers is
unsafe. But it must even be borne in
mind hat our soils are underneath us,
out of sight, full of small water courses
running everywhere, and carrying what
is allowed to saturate the soil.-M. Maui

The Peters Cartridse Company

Has the sole control in the United States of the Peters Patents, both
as pertaining to Loading Machines and the fluctuations for securing
the load in the shell. The machines are run by steam and are auto
matte throughout. The wads are of elastic wood felt, perfectly
fabricated. They are cut several sizes larger and compressed into
shell in the act Of loading The The extra size ana quality Of the wads
especial Smith or Parker" loads unnecessary. Each machine has a
regular working capacity of sixty cartridges per minute, and may
even be'run at a much greater speed and do good work. Having a
steady and powerful. movement, the wads are seated level, and with
proper pressure, while the charges are uniform. The fluctuations
for holding the load are made at the moment of greatest compression
The superiority of this method of fastening over the ordinary crmp
has been proven by searching tests. 1t has been found to improve
pattern, increase penetration and prevent fouling of shell chamber
and leading of shoulder. The recol is greatly diminished. Indeed,
the method of fastening and the whole work of the machine produces
the very perfection of Shotgun Ammunition. The most fattering
testimonials are coming in from all parts of the country. Amateur
and Professional Sportsmen are alike delighted. For sale by

TARIFF RFTTSJOV.

Hon. John II. Resgan takes decidedly
gloomy view Of the subject Of tariff re-
form, In letter to Dallas gentleman
he says: az do not know whether the
present Congress will be able TO revise
he tariff Or not. Public opinion demands
il think, though the Republican psrty If
committed against tsrih reform with sn
the strength Of its political association,
and this is aided by every clsss interest
that desires to be enriched Of Of
the labor Of other people. These
class interests have become &C
powerful that it Is serious ques-
tlon whether they csn ever be cen
trOiled again IL the interest of the people.
The great body Of the Democrats are
for revision of the tariff, but, un-oftun-
a!ely, we have few, iear enough, to
turn the scale in favor OF the Republicans
on the question of the revision OF the
tariff"
The grest trouble is that the party Of
which Senator R 3sgsn is an honored mem.
Der has never been united on the question
and has never had the neral courage to
boldly announce it's position definitely
The Republicans have been equally cow
srdly snd equiVocal, and the only differ
ence is that Republicans Interpreted theI
platforms one way and Democrats an
other. n the coming presidential
contest the isaue must be decided. AS
the Courit r-JourDsl says, the message
sent to Congress by President Cleveland
will be the platform in so far as the tariff
is concerned aud the party must rise or
fall with it. II is not likely that anything
Will be done this session. The Republl-
Cans, and what is greater thsn the Repub-
licsns, the "class interests" come OF

it hope to succeed. The pruning hook

recompensed by scceesions from tbs Re-

Congress to authorize the government to
lend out the Treasury surplus at % pei
cent, taking security therefor govern
ment bonds One firm has sgreed to take
the entire surplus. When it Is consider
ed that government bonds are drawing
or per cent. it is easy to see how a
profit can be made on the transaction.
The interest on the bonds would more
than pay the interest on the money, and
the borrowers could lend the latter GU
say or 10 per cent, and realize hard

urY are numerous, and come in all guises.
The only safeguard is in wipipg out the

"BETREEN TWO MYSTERIES.


Sunset Cox is famous for giving ex-
preston to iorcible and pregnant cpl
grams, and wheE he says that the Demo-
Gratis VINO favor Mr. Clevelsnd's renom-
inaston are standing "between two mys-
teries," he explains tee attitude OF only
the uniaitiated and cot his own. Mr.
Cox knows IS well as anyone What these
mysterious mysteries mean, though it is
not prudent for him to tell just now.
The country and the Democratic pErty
know what they are aud what they mean.
On the one side ls Tammnny, q Demo
cratic organization, for revenue only,
that has long been a power in New York
and bitter enemy OF Clevelsnd's, TOR the
reason that it cannot use him in its own
interest. Tsmmsny knew Cleveland be,
fore his nomination and opposed him
with all the fire and force st It's CON-
msnd. John Kelly, then its chief, and
one Of the ablest politicians the country
has ever seen; resorted to every method
within his power to prevent his nomina.
ton, and bis lieutenant, the brilliant and
eloquent Grady, fought him like a
tiger, and poured out upon Mr..
ClevelaDd's supporters all the Vltriol
aud vIrulence of his mAtchless oratory.
This organization hates Cleveland and
hates reform with an undying, an uncom-
promising hste, and while it gave him an
ostensible support during the election, 1t
would have reIoiced over his defest. This
confederation Of political buzzsrds has
never forgiven or forgotten the President
and is now laying its plans to secure his
defeat before the next Democratic con-
vention. In order to do this IT has Sc
lected Hon. D. B. Hill, who is willing
tool IN its hands. mr. Hill hiss the an
hition born In all American politicians to
be President, and he has permitted Tam
many to use his name, snd he himself is
using the great influence in his hands ss
Governor CT New York to secure the New
York delegation. he is an sble man,
ambitious and heuest, but he is unfortu-
nSteJy ia The hands Of men who, while
able and ambitious likewise, do not pos
sess the other requisite. Tsmmsny does
not care whether Mr, Hill Is nominated
or not, SO long as it can secure Cleve-
lands defeat. If It can arouse
fsctional wsr in the party
which will appear irreconcilsble IN
less dark horse Is selected,
the object which it seeks will be accom-
plished. The Tammsny fight is not for
the love of Hill, but for the love OF de-
feating Cleveland. On the other hand
are msTshaled the "cISss interests"-those
tsrlf bsrons and their poems, the "pro-
tected" laborers IN the mines and work
shops. Some OF these clsim to be
Democrats and some Republicans, bur
they, like Tsmmany, csre little for party
or principle SO long ss their OWL interests
are subserVed. They are opposed TO Mr.,
Cleveland On account of his expressed
desire for tariff reduction and revenue
reform, and nothing will be left undone
TO secure his defeat. When the question
