THERE IS A FREE LIST.

There is tariff and there is free list. On many of the necessaries of life, articles that enter into the daily needs of the poor man and wage earner, there is a solid tax, tax that makes fat for the rich men, the capitalists, monopolists and bondholders. But there are other goods that come in free, and good many of them don't find their way into the cabin of the toiler. A glance through the tariff schedules will show the following articles that come in free. They are not all, but they will serve to give an idea of what the republicans believe in letting in without paying the freight" Uncut diamonds Free Altar of roses Free Skeletons Free stuffed birds Free Tortoise shells Free Cocoa Free Meerschaum Free Mother of pearl Free Regalia and gems Free Quoits Free Ebony Free Rosewood Free Raw Silk Free Mahogany Free l lrOplCal plstnlS Hlco Cabinets of coins, m edals etc Free Agates Free Snails Free Turtles Free When the wage-earner goes to his work with a diamond pin on his shirt front he may feel easy that he is not taxed for it.. l When he scents his lace handkerchief with the delicate altar of roses he has no tax to worry over. When he wants to decorate his mansion with stuffed birds and take his post-prandial smoke from a lovely meerchaum, or set up cabinet of coins and medals for the study of his mumis- matist friends, he does'nt need to bother about the tax-all these things come in free. The wage-earner may not need them, but it is consoling to know that after he has paid for his taxed necessaries he car get his luxuries free of tax. If he cant have luxuries, why that's his misfortune
 That the republicans give him free lux
 uries, while he must pay heavy tax or
 his necessaries, is probably the reason why
 he will vote the republican ticket 1T
 November. But perhaps he won't see i
 that way.

A Bitter Illustration.

About ten years agoa bill rushed
through congress placing quinine on
the free list. Was the country ruin
ed? Did wages fall? Did any catas-
throphe overtake the pill industry?
AT that time, we believe, single
Philadelphia firm had the monopoly
of the quinine business. There was
no lack of direful threats that this
firm would transfer its business to
Germany and enormously increase
the price relief from the Shakes" as
a penalty for popular contumacy,
but the transfer did not seem to take
place. The price of quinine went
down, but the business of manufac-
turing it increased. The monopoly
was broken, and now six firms are
engaged in the industry. An ounce
ofpractice is worth a pound cftheory.

What is Rosewood?
S.. Nicholas for August.

s.. Nicholas for August.
1t has been a great mystery to
many young persons why the dark,
rich-colored wood so much used for
furniture should be called "rose-
wood" Its deep-tinted, ruddy-
streaked surface certainly does not
resemble the rose, so we must seek
some other reasons for the name.
Here it is When the tree is first cut,
the fresh wood exhales very strong,
rose-like fragrance, which soon pass
es away, leaving no trace of the pc
culiar odor. There are several varie-
ties of rosewood trees; the best, how
ever, are those found in South Amer
lea and the East Indies, and neigh
boring islands.

The Eyes.

A ground-glass over the chimney
of the lamp will soften the glare and
give a much pleasanter light than
when left unshaded. Paper shades
are better than none, but the greater
benefit derived from them is simply
that the light does not shine right in
to the eyes. Another and better
way is to turn the back towards the
light, and not have it strike the face
and eyes, but throw it upon the work,
or book: by this means it saves the
strain that Injuries the eyes so serious
ly.
Another thing that is worthy of
mention, for it affects the endurance
of the eyesight very essentially, and
it is a simple thing too-in washing
or rubbing the eyes always remem-
Der and rub them out, that is, from
the nose. If they are rubbed toward
the nose it causes a contraction OF the
optic nerve that is injurious and
shortens the sight, while contrary
motion strengthens and preserves
the nerves. The preservation of the
eyesight is of great Importance to
every individual, for weak eyes or
the loss of the sight is one of the
greatest calamities that can befall
any one. Many people, as soon as
they have the slightest trouble with
their eyes, will put on spectacles,
little thinking that it is a source of
veXation for the rest of their lives; for
after beginning to use them there is
no laying them aside as long as one
lives. Therefore it is much wiser to
take prudent care of the eyes while
they are good and strong than to
neglect them till they are past saving.

The president was satisfied with his

cross examination.
Suppose, now, man was to come

how would'you count them?"
"Pd wet my fingers and pick up
each bill until came to the last one"
"Why would you not lift up the
last one"
because there might possibly be
one more under it, and if the deposit
tor was to see it he would want it
back, but if the twentieth bill is not
lifted, and there should be another
bill in the pile the bank makes it,

dent. "You have been in the bust
ness before, but didn't suppose you
knew that trick"

How to Dry Fruit.

The Nashville American says the
fruit crop this year. is really the first
we have had for ten years, and, as
the reasons why it should be taken
care of are being agitated, it is not
out of order to give the various pro-
cesses by which it may be preserved.
The simplest and best method is
the old sun-drying process. The first
step is to peel and core the fruit, then
divide it in halves, quarters and
slices-the larger the pieces the better
price they command; then spread
them on scaffold and the sun evap-
crates the water from them in the
course of ten hours, and they are
ready for market.
The next method, which until last
year was the most in favor, is to use
an evaporation, an invention compos-
ed of two parts one of the furnace,
where the air is heated, and the receiv-
err, in which perforated trays filled
with the cut up fruit are placed.
Around these the hot air from the
furnace rises and evaporates the wa
ter, drying the fruit, over which sui
phur is sprinkled for bleaching pur-
poses.i Fruit prepared this way is
more pleasing to the eye than any
other grade, but the sulphur is to a
certain extent absorbed and also has
tendency to destroy the flavor of
the fruit. Thus prepared, it is ship
ped very extensively to Europe, but
here, after the process became known,
the defects in it were noticed, and
the fruit for which imagination sup
piled the flavor is no longer salable.
The next process is called steam dry
ing. The fruit is placed in perforated
trays with a system of steam-pipes
under them, the hot air from which
drives the water from them, and they
are sprinkled with sulphur to be
bleached. This grade also, is COM
paratively unsaleable.
The method least in use is the kiln
drying process. A fire is built in a
kiln under the trays containing the
fruit and the water driven out.
The object in drying fruit is solely
to get rid of the water, and the pro-
cesses are essentially the same.
All that is required to successfully
dry fruit is good judgment. The
process of bleaching by sulphur may
be done away with or used in any OF
the methods as fancy suits, but to
make the best quality it is not neces'
Sary.

And the cheerful light aud warmth of the

A snatch of pleasure, a taste OF pain,
A little knowledge of right and wrong,
And the vision is over-comes not again.

And ever be ready to answer the summons,

Among the books of record filed
away in the registers office of this
county is one marked as the "minutes
of the superior court of the district of
Nero" This old book is yellow with
age.
In looking over the record today a
Banner reporter came across the fol-
lowing remarkable entry in the case
of the government VS.. Phelty Hurst,
charged with horse stealing:
"The prisoner, Phelty Hurst, hav-
ing been found guilty of horse-steal-
ing, and being called to the bar and
asked if he had anything tosay why
the sentence of the law should not be
pronounced against him saith moth
ing. 1t is, therefore, ordered and de-
creed by the court that Phelty Hurst
be taken to the public whipping post
and there receive on your bare back
thirty-nine lashes well laid on and
stand in the pillowry one hour and
have both of your ears nailed thereto
and cut of, and shall be branded on
the right cheek with the letter "H"
of the length of three-fourths of an
inch and of the breadth of an inch,
and on the left by the letter "T' of
the same dimensions in a plain and
visible manner, and the sheriff of
Davidson put this sentence in execu-
ton on the 18th of November, 1876,
between the hours of 10 and - q. m.
The liver and kidneys must be
kept in good condition. Hoods Sar-

has many enemies you cannot be
quite sure that he is a man of strong
character.

twelve tribes of Israel, twelve stones

The Social Fine Art.


Not the least of the graces Of social
life is the swift conversational "touch
and go" unconsciously acquired in
charming social currents. The art of
expressing thought in sentence, of
stating a fact in a word, is a social art
of the highest value. 1t may be set
down as an axiom that nobody cares
for details; no one wants praise and
faithful biographical accounts sprung
upon their defenseless heads no
one cares a straw for minute ex-
periences. For one person in group
to insist on detailing some long story
is to De bore of the first magnitude.

Those Water Sprinklers.

The LIGHT has been at some little
pains to enquire into the causes of the
complaints made of the undue sprink-
ling of Houston street on week days,
a ID it's dusty condition on Sundays,
as mentioned in yesterday evenings
Times. The contract of r. J. Hand,
which holds good until April 2, 1899,
and which is now in force for the sixth
year, shows the names of nearly every
resident on Houston street from the
ice factory to the bridge below Gala
gher's on the east of Alamo plaza. Mr..
Hand says the unnecessary wetting
complained Off caused by Santleben's
sprinkler which goes over the street
after him, and floods the same; that
Alamo plaza with the exception of a
small section is not under his contract
End that the Sunday sprinkling has
not been called for until recently; that
the street was sprinkled last Sunday
and will be hereafter. The trouble
seems to be caused by an attempt of
the old sprinkler Santleben, who
sprinkled Houston street five years
ago, to recover his old ground which
Hand has satisfactorily held since
then.

This Mornings Fire.

About 8 o'clock this morning q
frame building at the corner of Burle-
son and Cherry street owned by Mr..
Briggs and rented as a grocery store
to man named White was discover
ed to be on fire. A prompt alarm was
given and the fire department was
soon on hand, but owing to the inflam-
mable nature of the contents, the
store was very quickly burned out.
Mr.. Briggs has the house insured for
about half its value, but White had
no insurance upon his stock and he is
therefore great loser by the fire.
