"UNMITIGATED HUMBUG. u

There are some manufacturers who
are wise enough to understand that a
protective tariff is Injurious to their
business, as well as being oppressive to
the consumer and hurtfuI to the
American community. Among them
are the great reaper and mower works
of the McCormicks, of Chicago, and
the Aultman d Taylor Company, of
Ohio, manufacturers of thresh-
ers. Some time ago the reli-
able New York EUeping Post men
toned that these, among other
AGRICULTURAL implement manufac cries,
were nurseries of free trade. a truthful
statement, but one which called forth
the insulting denial of the solid protec-
ZIONIST organs. One Harrison paper,
the Indianapolis Reporter, said: When
the New York Evening Post prints in
it's columns the statements that the
great reaper and mower works of the
McCormicks, of Chicago, and of the
Aultman q Taylor Company, of Ohio,
are nurseries of free trade, the New
York Evening Post deliberately lies. 3"
TIE Post thereupon called the attention
of the works named below to the black

the following intelligent and emphatic

WELL-iMPROvED FARMS.
The Importance OF Keeping Up Appear
ances OF n Country Place.

The Importance OF Keeping Up Appear
ances Of n Country Place.
The farm which is most valuable TO
its owner and most appreciated by his
fellow citizens is not necessarily that
which includes the most acres. or has
the most pretentious buildings, or even
the finest pcdigreed stock. The farm
that attracts the traveller as he passes
through the town, the one which il
pointed out with pride to the stranger,
and the one which would meet the
readiest sale il put on the market to-
day. is the one that Is kept up. There
is an mir of thrift about the place that
tells. The house has all its clapboards
and shingles; it is neatly painted; the
blinds are in good order. Wherever
there is hinge about the house. build
ings or fences. it is kept in order; it
does not sag or creak when turned;
the barn has the same air Of ncatness;
there is place for each animal, and 1t
is clean and tight. 50 that colds are not
invited nor disease germs fostered; the
products OF the farm are carefully
gathered and appropriated; nothing is
allowed 10 waste. Whatever can be
used To advantage is used, and all rub
bish that can be converted into fertil-
izer is carried 20 the manure heap,
while all the rest is burned. The fields
are cleaned up when harvest Is over,
and the garden is divested Of
its monumental stalks. and vines
that mark the graves where beauty
sleeps The walks arc clear from weeds
and well raked and even. Stone walls
are Of the same height throughout and
have an even. finished look. Bars are
not lacking from their proper place.
and the posts do not lean like the tower
Of Pisa. Cattle. when pastured. will
stay there because the fences are In
order. The tools are cared for scrupu-
lousy. Whenever any thing is used IL
is properly cleaned. IL need be oiled,
and stored in It's place under cover II
any thing is broken il is mended on the
spot, il possible.
All this Is not accomplished by rush
Of work on one day and neglect the
rest. II is only by constant vigilance
that IL il secured. without haste.
without rest, " is the motto Of the thrifty
farmer. lie realizes that delays are
dangerous. aud waits for no more
convenient season. He takes the timely
stitch and saves nine times the work
and money otherwise occasioned.
The man who j. most pushed for time
il he who is goaded on by the constant
presence Of neglected duties. Any
farmer may possess the coveted valua-
bic farm IL he takes the best care pos
sibIe ~ that which is his Massactt-
sefis P0ughman.

In youth, or later, whether they were

How the Egyptians Cool Water.

| need only state three facts to show
the rapidity Of evaporation in upper
Egypt. Water too warm to- drink is put
into 4 porous jar and placed in the wind,
though in the sun; in a bali hour it is
as cool rs good spring water.
At night. exposed to a breeze, even
when the breeze is rather warm, before
morning it becomes ice cold. The night
Of my arrival here I took a pouring bath
on a balcony. The wind was balmy but
fresh. The rapid evaporation so chilled
me that Icould not stay out long enough
for my bath. At the foot of the cataract
we took swim in the Nile. We wore
our underclothes for bathing suits. We
hung thela up before our stateroOms to
dry. In ten minutes they were dry
enough to be worn.
We have all heard of the universal
habits OF all Africans to anoint them
selves with oil, and travellers speak OF it
as nasty habit. 1t is, however, neces-
sary in very hot and very dry climates to
prevent the cracking Of the skin. An En-
glish officer told me that during the hot
winds Oh the upper Nile his hands and
face chapped wors, than they ever did
in a cold climate-chappel even to
bleeding badly. 1 have found fresh,
white butter quite as pleasant on my
hand as on my toast. The boys have
felt no inconvenience from the winds.
My hands are very sensitive to the effect

hats being quite comfortable and yet we

Justice Matthew'S New Servant.

Every Justice selects his own clerk,
but he must take the messenger be-
queathed to him by his predecessor.
The other Justices all feel that it is due
to them that a new and untried mes
senger should not be brought into their
confidential circle every time there is a
change upon the bench.
When Mr.. Waite died his messenger
continued in his old place, serving the
bereaved family and making himself
handy around the court. As soon as the
next Chief Justice qualities this man
will go to the apartments of his new
master with his shaving, brushing and
backing outfit, and will proceed to do
his duty in spite of any pnrtia]ity that
the new fedged jurist may entertain for
an old servant.
Justice Matthews did not understand
this rule and precedent when he first
came to sit on the bench. He arrived
in Washington late in the evening and
took lodgings temporarily at n hotel.
The moment he stirred in his chamber
the next morning he heard rap at his
door. On responding a very respectful
but busnesslike darkey walked in with
his arms full of toilet tools.
81 didn't ring, the new Justice said,
installing the intruder for an employee
OF the house.
"No, sab but thought you might
need some barbering. I'll brush your
clothes, sab, and shine your boots
"You needn't mind, SIR the Justice
said. severely, as he still held the door
open, "My valet will attend to that"
"'Scuse me, Mr.. Justice. but I'm
your man."
"What is the matter with you? Leave.
the ROOM
'Scuse me. Mr.. Justice, but L was
left to you by Mr.. Justice Swayne, and
the clerk of the cote ordered me to re-
pote to you this mawnin.'
He knew his duty and the traditions
of his place, and he stuck to them and to
the reluctant Mr.. Matthews. He is with
him to this day.

General Mike Ryan, in talking Of the
Metropolitan Bank failure, recently told

tratlng the power of bluff. 1t was in
connection with this assertion that with
little further aid from other banks in
the city the Metropolitan might have
been saved. lie said II have Il brother
connected with bank in Leavenworth,
Kan. There are two banks there, and
the rival to that of my brother was in Il
shaky condition. The president came
to Matt and told him the circumstances,
and that if there was run the bank
would be unable to stand it, Matt told
him to keep stiff upper lip, for he
knew that the failure of the other bank
meant the failure Of his own. He
jumped on the train, went to Kansas
City, got SAC, 900 in coin-gold and sill
ver-in barrels, ran back to Leaven-
worth with the specie, and got half
dozen drays to the depot to take the
barrels to the bank Meantime the
crowd of depositors had begun to gather
ut the bank, demanding their money,
and the old man was talking to them to
gain time. All at once they saw the
drays coming up, loaded down with
these barrels. Matt was with the treas
ure, and shouted to the crowd to wait
about five minutes and they'd get their
money, as it was there in the barrels.
''In unloading the barrels one of them
dropped and broke, SO that, through
crack, the anxious depositors could see
the shining gold, and, as it rolled up the
steps of the bank, So gold pieces kept
dropping out and were picked up by the
ianitor. When the coin was all rolled
in Matt came out again and told all who
had money there to go in and get it, as
the bank proposed to pay them off and
start fresh, and didn't want such
cowardly lot of depositors anyway. All
the time he WAS piIing on the indigDa-
ton he didn want to be taken ut his
word, as the bank had only $4,000 cash
on hand, against 500, 900 Of deposits
made. He had brought $4,000, but
there was still a shortage of $4,000.
However, the game worked. The people
were reassured by the sight of the bar
