A Solid Plntform.

We favor such economic legislation as
will protect all American industries that
can be proftably pursued by American
citizens. We insist that our producers
are entitled to the control of their own
markets to the extent of their ability to
supply them. We denounce all efforts to
open those markets to competition With
the cheap labor and abundant cspital of
foreign nations as hostile to the interests
of labor and destructive to national and
individual prosperity. We regard the
last annual message OF the president and
the recent action of the majority of the
ways and means committee as a direct
and open assault upon these industries,
which will. if unresisted, result in intro
ducing a policy of free trade that in the
near future will paralyze or destroy our
own industries. reduce the compensation
for labor and inpoverish the nation

Miss Alcott's Fascinating aIanuscrips.

Miss Aicott's Fascinating Manuscript
Three years later MI. Alcott received
from his daughter the manuscript of a
book which Louisa had written according
to tho inspiration which.was always her
best, /. g., that which came from actual
observation, and what may be called the
a~dealization of facts. Miss Alcott said
once that she wrote The book ito prove
she could not write IT." In other words,
having been asked by Roberts Bros. to
prepare ga good girls story" she declared
she could not do it, caring so much moro
for .'boys" than shedid for girls; but, If
she attempted It, it must be about her
own sisters and herself.
Accordingly. o book was written on this
charming principle. On its receipt n of
the firm took the manuscript home, and,
without mentioning the author, handed
it to his daughter, a girlo about 12 years,
to read. Intrenching himself behind q
newspaper, / was told he watched the
effect Of the story upon this unconscious
critic. Page after page was turned, and
every variety of expression showed itself
on the young face bending above the book.
What would she have said, l wonder, had
she known her proud distinction-the first
child in America who read 'tLittle
Womenl" But such was the case. Find.
ing it impossible to induce her to leave
this fascinating manuscript, the publisher
wisely decided that a book which could
in manuscript, SO captivate n girl
would, in print, reach the hearts Of many
and accordingly this first little bari
frcighted with success and fame wa,
launched.-Lucy @. Lille. in Tho Cosmo

"What impressions did you form Of the

"WeH, suppose we start with American
women. What are their National charac-

Every American woman has rage for the
former, and the latter, owing greatly to
the system Of living practiced by the United
states, Is inevitable. But, besides this, all
American women, generally speaking. are
afflicted with would-bc smartness, and
speak through the nose. They have all,
more or less, a nasal twaug, owing TO what,

tho air that affects some vessel in the nose,

Americans undoubtedly, however, suffer
from National catarrh, as is most evident
IN the peculiar tone in which nearly all Of
them speak.
"Thero is another thing about American
women, too. They don't make up as the

get gray ut thirty, this is the more peculiar.

AN ASTONISHING CASE.
Why 1t Gave Rise to Great Perturbation
in Dublin Society.

There reside in a fashionable part Of
Rathmines, Dublin, family, consisting of
mother, who is a widow, two or three
sons and three young ladies', sisters. At
all events, says the Freemdn's Journal, they
were supposed to be so. The family
were held in the highest respect, and, un-
til an incident we are about to relate oc-
CURED, the household was undisturbed by
any out-of-the-way occurrence. Two of the
young ladies were progressing in appear
ance, and gifted with many accomplish
ments. The thIrd-the eldest, we believe
was not devoid of good looks either, and
possessed certain amount of musical
culture, which was displayed effectively at
numerous reunions, parties and evening as
semblies about their neighborhood She
also developed a remarkable talent for
drawing. She was frequently met with at
social assemblies and places of entertain
ment, and was admired everywhere for her
good looks and accomplishments. She was
an admirable tennis player, and was alto
gether an agreeable figure in the set in
which she moved. About a couple of
months ago it was announced that she was
about to proceed to London to complete her
studies in the South Kensington School of
Art, and naturally the news caused some
interest among her acquaintances. She
came back at Christmas, and MANY ladies'
who were acquainted with the family called
at their house to see her. What was the
establishment Of the visitors when the mother
calmly announced that her "daughter
was boy; and then the quondam miss en-
tered the room, dressed in masculine at
tire, having completely abandoned the char
acter which she or he (as we must now call
him) had been so long assuming of a girl
The incident gave rise to great perturbation
among the acquaintances of the family, and,
as result, no little unpleasantness oc-
CURED. Those who knew the young gen
tleman as Miss-are extremely astonished
at the turn affairs have taken. They find
1t hard to believe that such a deception
could have gone on for years without any
suspicion of the real circumstances being
entertained. The young man has been re-
garded as girl from infancy. He went to
school as girl, entered society as a girl,
dressed as a girl and behaved as girl, so
that the sudden announcement of his true
position in society has naturally caused
some commotion among the acquaintance
of the young man.

Ding movement around and In front Of HIM.
The lion now began to make feints to
draw his adversary within range At last,
stopping In mad rush, the gorilla struck
short, the lion rushed In, turned upon his
back, and received the gorilla with teeth
and claws. Growls, snarles and roars
pealed forth from a whirling mass of leaves
and dust; limbs and bodies strangely
mingled were dimly seen through il, as
though twenty beasts instead Of two were
engaged IN one conglOmerate death-strug-
gle. At hast there was a sickening crash, q
horrible crunching Of bones, a demoniacal
ycn Of pain, faster and faster whirled the
mass, then followed pause, and saw the
lion was upperInost, with the left arm of
the gorilla in his powerful jaws his claws
were fixed in the apes shoulder, and he
himself was one mass Of gashes and rents.
The right hand Of the gorilla was fixed in
the hons side, and both his hinder hands
were drawn up and seemingly imbedded in
the lions ribs.
There was moments pause, as II for
breath, and then the gorilla suddenly
twisted his head under the lions throat, the
hinder hands Strengthened out with a
nauseating sound OF rending flesh. as with
one swift stroke he completely disemboweled
the lion. There arose terrible cry Of an
guish, sudden swirl around, several
strokes Of brown paws and dark, hairy
arms through the cloud Of dust, and then
al was over. The whirling leaves settled,
and there in a death grip lay the two
mighty monarchs Of the wilds. The lion
was utterly disembOweled, his entrails hav-
ing been seized by the prehensile hinder
hands and literally dragged out by the very
roots; while the lion by last dying effort
had succeeded ip getting his throat freed
from The gorilla's teeth, and, with one pow
orful blow, had smashed the apes head, as
q hammer does hiclSory-nut. There they
lay, mOtionless, and there we lay, too, fas-
cinated, enthrallcd, at the strange spec
tacle we had just witnessed.
Presently figure moving on the edge Of
the clearing attracted our notice, and we
saw the female gorilla pcering out between
the bushes, with an agOnizingly human look
! upon her face that was dreadful TO see.
/ Slowly and cautiously she advanced across
/ the open space until she reached the bodies
then she touched first one and then the
other, uttering plaintive cries of grief that
were touching in the extreme. At last she
managed 10 disentangle the body Of her
mate, looked into the eyes, examined the
wounds, and still crying, took it into her
arms, and, laboriously dragging it across
the open space, disappeared in the forest
beyond. She was safe from my rife
would not have shot her for a million dol
lars, and IL was with strange feeling Of
depression that turned my back upon the
clearing, and, following my guide, left behind
the scene Of one of the most interesting and
vivid experiences Of my not uneventful
