cussiOn.
Gesrge ". Elliott, A. NJ, Rochester, N. Y,
has just published in book form, through
MOulton, Wenborne & Co., Buffalo, N. Y, the
very original and interesting dialogue dis
cussion between Paul "a young graduate)
and his Father" an American farmer, which
appeared serially three years ago in the
American Rural Home, and attracted wide at
tention. The father is a thoroughly well
posted MAJ OF affairs, who Is theoretically a
free trader, but practically, as an American,
a strong defender Of q judicious tariff. He
thus treats both sides very fairly and gives
each, In b dialogue, a chance to be heard.
He discusses general principles and under his
theory that sclfishness must be the secret of
success OF international commercial policy,
and self-sacrifice the secret of success In ma
tional commercial policy, he makes out a
strong defense of simple protection. In the
matter OF wages, he holds that wages begins
and ends with production, and hence IL iudic-
io1s protection stimulates production, as he
holds, then q judicious tariff maintains the
the source OF wages. This book makes men
and boys think. 1t unfolds the dark myster-
les OF the tariff simply and should have a
wide reading. MIR: Elliott, as advertising
manager Of Il. H. Warner zoos safe cure

portunities to see the effects of different com

Jnpnnc.e sncred Nuts.

A quantity Of japanese sacred nuts,
the first ever brought TO this country, has
lately been received at a Broadway fruit
store. They are called sacred from the
fact that they are used in certain forms
Of japanese worship. The nuts are
placed on the altar and ignitod. They
burn with a blush flame and give of a
peculiar odor. They are rich ia OIL and
tho fumes are supposed TO rise as incense
to the gods. They grow under water,
have a leaf like a pond lily, and are
shaped like n steers head, with two pro-
jecting horns. This resemblance Is so
great that il is difficult TO believe that
they are not carved. In the raw state
they are hard and tasteless, but when
cooked they have the flavor Of boiled
chestnuts. They retain their qualities
ten or fifteen years, and are fit for food
when even twenty years old.-New York
