POwDERLY FOR PROTECTION. His COIOrs a PrOtectioR1st-He Never Uses q Foreign made Article He Denies Sympathy for she Demo. cratic Party.
 PITTsBURG, Oct. 26.-Secretary Cake of the Window Glass Workers association to- day gave out portion of the private letter he received from Terrence v. PowderIy, in
 which the latter declares himself "a protec- tionist. Mir. Cake says that the letter was written in answer to one which the National district No. 300 had sent to the general mas ter workman asking for an opinion as to the legality of their course in placing speakers in the field to advocate the cause of protection during the present campaign. The follow are the extracts from the letter which are given out:
 'tNo explanation is necessary as to the course taken by L. A. Mo- 300. If the mem- bers think they are right, that is sufficient for me, so long as the action does not inter- fere with the working of the assembly. I have not questioned the counsel taken by your members, and regret that they should deem an election necessary after all have written on this question. Let me say an as- surfing word as to my course in this cams paign. I am free to advocate either party, and have not done 50 by word, act, art or in timation. You are at perfect liberty to de- nounce me through the press of this country the moment you catch any trace of my fingers in this campaign, except 1t be for some well known friend of labor.
 I BELIEVE IN PROTECTION AND HAVE NEVER BOUGHT A SINGLE ARTICLE MADE ACROSS
 THE OCEAN.
 It is my invariable practice to ask where the article was manufactured before pur- chasing. If cannot get the home market article will wait until I can. If protection is what is aimed at, why are steps being talk. en to lower the tariff by both parties? Why is the difference between the two bills now before the national legislature but little over five or six million dollars? I may be wrong as to the figure, as have to depend upon reports, not having seen the Senate bill.
 THE ESSENCE OF PROTECTION. would not allow single article to land that we can manufacture ourselves. would not allow any workmen to come over and take the place of our own men. I am a pro- tectionist and in many respects differ from those who are preaching protection in this campaign. Were it not for the labor organi- cations there would be no protection for the man who works. Were it not for the grand and well disciplined L. A. No. 400 the wages they get as workers and so proudly and just ly boast of would not be known. These things are facts, and yet am accused of partiality for the Democratic party. l am neutral in this campaign and intend to re- main so until election day.

THE MENTAL "sLlND SPOT"
DR.. Holmes Theory of the "Idiotic Area"
In the Organ of Intellect.


The analogy between the organ of Wis
ion and that of thought is so obvious and
familiar that it does not require illustra-
ton. Now, just at the entrance of the
optic nerve is a small circular area, known
as the blind spot. Certain essential ana
tomical elements are wanting in this little
space, and though the visual image is
painted on it, the picture is blank to
the perception. Is there not blind spot
in the organ of intellect as well as in that
of vision-an idiotic area, where ideas
are represented, but not transmitted to
the intelligent center2 "Think a mo-
ment, we say to friend who is enter
tanning some Ito us) self evident absurd
ity. Paraphrased this would be: You
have got bit of nonsense on your men,
tai blind spot your idiotic area. Shift it
if you can into a place where the mental
elements are not deficient, as in that
empty region.
l must appeal to the experience of
others if they are not conscious of such a
blind spot in their intelligence. If they
recognize it as fact that they have such
a spot, they can account for many alb
surdities and contradictions in their own
field of thought and that Of others. For
this idiotic area is the vacant lot where
inconsistent incoherent, unrelated ideas
come together and disport themselves, or
lie loose, scattered over it. Many simple
puzzles and idle fancies find their way
there and claim right of domicie, until
awakened reflections drives them away.
Let me give an instance or two. "Ex-
cuse me-" said the barber to the lantern
jawed man, eff l put my finger in your
mouth to press your cheek out" "No,
no" said the man he was shaving. 81
am afraid you'll bite me-" Dean Swift
mentions in one of his letters to Stella an
odd whim of his own: Il had my mouth
full of water, and was going to spit it
out, because 1 reasoned with myself,
how could l write when my mouth was
fullP" In the persons we call 'absent
minded, the idiotic area extends over
wider space than it covers in most indi-
viduals.
This theory-for dare not announce
it as positive discovery-is a very con-
venient application to cover ones own
mental slips and to account for those of
ones neighbor. No person of good tenn
per and philosophic habit of mind could
take offense at the question, politely
asked, docs not that view or that argu-
ment come from your idiotic area?"
When John Stuart Mill suggested the
possibility of universe where two and
two would make five, 1 should have
wished to hint in a modest and civil way
that this supposition had the idiotic area
as its natural habitat. oliver Wendell

GOOD FENCES ON THE FARM.

Many an animal becomes breachy be-
cause of the careles>ness of the farmer in
looking after his fences. A board gets
loose or broken, and this not having been
attended to at once, the animal gets out
of the enclosure. Having once done this
the beast is more apt to try again, and
finally good strong fence will not re-
strain it. The cheapest and best way is
to build good fence in the beginning,
and then see that it is kept in good repair
so none of the stock will be tempted to
get over it or break it down. Animals
kept in lots surrounded by good fences
are not likely to become unruly, and if
one is found that has acquired this habit,
it will be found better to dispose of it,
lest it not only prove source of con-
slant annoyance, but also be the means
of making others in his herd troublesome.

IMPROVEMENT IN BREEDING.

Of all the departments of learning
through which proficiency in stock-breed-
ng is to be reached, none, probably, re-
buires more superior knowledge or
more careful study than that branch
which relates to the proper crossing of
Eires and dams to produce the most salts
Factory results. This is most apparent
TO those who have given it any attention.
The rapid strides made in the improve
ment of our Spanish Merino sheep as
compared with the original importations

ment and cautious consideration of

In reaching the present degree of per-
Election. breeders in some sections of the
country have developed large amount
|Of oil in the fleece, and encouraged an in
crease of the looseness of the skin, and
consequent development of wrinkles.
The gale of popular opinion is so vary
ing, regarding the desrability of these
Qualities, that it is useless to advocate
any stated opinion as to the most profit
able breeding lines to follow. Suffice it
to say that our best breeders do not be-
lieve we can dispense with any of the av-
erage amount of oil without hazarding a
serious loss from the deterioration of the
amount OF wool as well as the firmness,
evenness and strength of fibre. Certain
ly, flockmasters regard it far more diff
cult matter to produce sheep with a
dense oily fleece than one with dry
fleece, with dead ends and an uneven
fibre that will not shrink so much in the
securing process as in the cards. We are
aware that share of our breeders advO-
cate an almost complete discarding of
wrinkles and grease and adopting the de-
laine type. The more recent demands
have not been for this class of sheep.
South America and Australia call for the
wrinkly and greasy representatives of
the breed; and, after all the years that
we have spent in reaching the goal we
have now gained, it is not consistent that

sheep.
In reviewing the past, let us ever re-
member the present; for there is always
chance for improvement, and the enter
prising shepherd will always keep before
him an imaginary standard of absolute
perfection. Let larger size be attained,
and still better balanced form and con-
tour, fieeces more dense and even and of
still higher quality. The best shall then
rival all good points in breeding yet eff
fected.-[ American Wool Reporter.

liciousness from any distant lofty pastur-
age. But in place of these one looks
upon mountains cutting the sky with
lofty cones green to the very summit,
and clothed in wealth of forests far up
the sloping sides-ranges of hills from
1000 to 5000 feet high, not stretching
in fatiguing sameness, but notched, bro
ken, bent, in short, graceful curves, then
lifting into sharp points never the same
in any direction, and never hurting the
eye by rocky GOODNESS or sandy or
brown barrenness. But few peaks exist
in the land so lofty as to reach beyond
the line of vegetation. When the tree
line is passed there comes grassy verdure
so luxuriant that the tallest heights
seemed clothed in emerald velvet. One
looks far up narrow valleys, which else
where would be wild gorges, and sees
them terraced far into their depths and
variegated with various crops in all
stages of maturity, from those but lately
planted and freshly green to others
golden and ready for the sickle. Every
mountain slope, every mountain gorge,
is thus terraced as far up as streams
offer opportunity for the irrigation.-Car-

CALIFORNIA SENTIMENT.

A recent San Francisco dispatch says: :
"The people of California, because of
their States annual wool clip of 80 ,000,-
600 pounds and more. are deeply interest
ed in the changes in the wool tariff rec
commended by President Cleveland. The
opinions of those most concerned are di-
vided, and many think that it would be
beneficial to the State if the industry
should continue to decline even more rap
idly than it has for the last few years.
They think that the vast number of acres
DEVOTED to sheep ranches would be more
profitable if turned into small farms.
The Examiner has interviewed number
of men, representative of both the WOOL
growing and the woOl-manufacturing in
terests, and has found that the division
of sentiment does not follow the class
line. OF the wool merchants some OPP
pose any change on the ground that If
the tariff is taken off the markets will be
flooded with Australian wool. Others
say that a change would result as did the
reduction of the tariff on Hawaiian
sugars, and that wool growers would be
benefited. OF the manufacturers, some
favor the admission of wool free on the
ground that large quantity of Austria

HOW TO CURE A GOLD.

Mark Twain in his peculiar vein of hui
NOR, has said many funny things illus
trative of the "hobbies" of mankind but
none of them surpass the story of how
he treated cold.
Every friend he met for weeks had a
'sure cure" to suggest, until finally the
cold wore itself out and,as usual, the last
remedy used got the credit for the cure.
Experimenting with severe cold how
ever-nOw trying this remedy and then
that, is dangerous business for like light
ming one can never tell where cold may
strike or finally settle. 1t may locate in
the head and cause severe nasal catarrh
it may locate in the throat or large bron-
chial tubes, causing sore throat, laryng-
tits, bronchitis and consumption, it ma v
locate in the pleura, producing dangerous
pleuro-pneumOnia: it may locate in the
muscles, causing pains and aches only
equalled by rheumatism, or it may locate
in the small bronchial tubes or air cells
of the lungs, causing lobar-pneumonia,
the most to be dreaded of all results from
cold.
There is right way to do everything
so there is rational treatment for cold,
which must be cured promptly. The first
result from a cold is the retardation of
every secretive function in the body
Skin, lungs, kidneys and bowels, sever
ally or all, are affected. Therefore. the
first thing to be done is to restore the
functions of these organs. Because of
its effect upon the skin, the old-fashioned
rum sweat" was an excellent method to
restore the action of the pores of the
skin. But it is Il dangerous method to
use, because so few people are willing t.
contine themselves to the house long
enough to recover; and to expose ones
self Immediately after sweat or warm
bath, is risking your life.
In treating "A cold among our active
New England people, some method must
be used that will admit of person at
tending to their daily labor as usual.
Among such people, probably more
colds, more cases of catarrh, bronchitis
sore throat, cough and hoarseness have
been cured by the use of JohnsOn's AnO
dyne Liniment than any other remedy
known. The large circular wrapper
around each bottle contains simple anC

subject of hereditary deafness. He has
conducted wonderfully large CORE

world to hunt up every scintilla of evil

He will eventually make public his dis

the same line of descent for 200 years.
