The Red Adam and Eve.

Charles Ellis in American Mag.
azine: Intimately associated with
Manitou's Landing, Gate and Wig
wan, in the legend of creation,
stands one more of these natural
curiosities Of Mackinac island. 1t
is known as Lovers Leap" and
has been the subject of more ro-
mancing than any other Of the
island celebrities. The prettiest
modern conception is that which
represents an Indian girl watching
here for the return of her lover
from the warpath. His comrades
appear without him, saying that he
was slain. His faithful maiden
sings her death song here upon
this pinnacle, and leaps into the
lake to overtake her lover in the
land of spirits.
But the ancient legend Of creation
has the most natural and complete
explanation ever given of the orr
gin of Lovers Leap. The red
Adam was driven from the island
by an evil minded angel, who was
enamored of the red Eve, and she,
having denounced the angel as
"devil," " with whom she could not
be compelled to remain longer than
to express her hate Of him, "fled
like wind as it wantons down from
far Waugoshanee," and leaped
from the cliff. Her banished mate,
who was padding sorrowfully
along the shore and saw her fall,
urged his canoe forward and saved
her life; and Manitou restored
them to the island and banished
the angel from heaven. He fell to
the under world Of bad spirits, and
there became a great leader and
the father of the white race Of
beings called men, who, filled with
the hatred of their father toward
the red Eve, have never ceased to
work for the ruin Of her descend
ants. This remarkable legend o.
creation has made "the Island" a
holy land to me, and shows more
plausibly than anything l have
ever found, a relationship between
the North American Indians and
the ancient inhabitants Of the cast.
ern hemisphere; while Lovers
Leap stands as prehistoric evidence
that love is as old as the human
heart.

Bleached MOustaches.

Philadelphia Times: "The latest
fad is bleaching moustaches," said
a barber. "Barbers don't do il.
Men buy the bleach and apply it
at home. II is done mostly by
young men. You can see lots Of
youg men to-day with dark-brown
hair who have lovely blonde
moustaches. Black moustaches,
even of the simon pure sort, have
lost favor.
Men with fiery red moustaches
use bleach nowadays. Not all men
with red moustaches, but a great
many. You won't see near SO
many red moustaches now as you
could have seen a year ago. You'll
see a man with a head of red hair,
while his moustache will be a love-
ly tint of old gold. The bleach is
as injurious as the black hair dye.
A good many men with red boards
use the bleach too. A blond beard
is very fashionable nowadays. The
ordinary everyday observer isn't
likely to detect bogus blond beard
or moustsche, but barber who
knows his business can tell them

Origin Of the Tariff

Boston Globe: More than 1.UyO
years ago there lived in north Africa
and northern Spain q war-like
Moorish chieftain, named TariC or
Tarick or Tarif, ns the name is
variously spelled. II is from this
half savage chiefs name that We
get the modern idea Of tariff"
which is just now troubling this
country 50 much.
Tarick gave his name to the town
of Tariffa and also to the cliff Of
Gibraltar. "Gibraltar" is q cor
ruption of "Gebal- Tarick" or the
Hill Of Tarick. These places were
in reality the first customhouseS,
where the first tariff was collected.
We regret to say that Tariff was
a pirate. The free traders declare
that the system to which lie gave
his name is still nothing but legaliz-
ed mOdernized piracy, but that we
need not discuss yet.
This was Tarick's little scheme:
He cruised about just inside the
straits of Gibraltar, ''laying for"
the merchant ships that had to pass
through that narrow channel, and
ready to pounce upon them when
ever they came in sight.
At first, after stripping every
captured vessel of its valuables,
Tarick made the crew walk the
plank, and then burned or Scuttled
the vessel like any other pirate
But soon he found that this not
did pay.
Itwas putting prohibitory tariff
on the commerce through the strait,
and his revenues fell of to almost
nothing. He was killing the goose
that laid the golden egg.
ButTarick was man oforiginali.
ty and resource. He saw that he
had overdone the matter, and re-
solvednot to destroy such merchant
ships as might thereafter come
that way.
After that, whenever q merchant
ship ventured through the strait,
Tarick and his pirates, after captur-
ing the vessel, said to the captain,
in substance, "you may goin peace,
provided you give US half of all the
goods you have on board or its value
in money"
The merchants were glad to get
) off 80 easily and readily gave the
pirates half. In the course of time
} the surrender of half the cargo (or
( the money equivalent of half the
cargo) came to be looked up on as
} a regular tax, and merchants made
their calculations accordingly. OF
. course they had to buy their goods
: cheaper and sell them dearer tc
; make up the so per cent. thatTariE
siezed for his share. 1t came to bt
! called the Tarik or Tariff tax anC
this is the origin of the wore
"tariff." For the Governments
now take the place of the pirate
chief and custom-h houses take tht
place of the strait of Gibraltar; only
instead Of seizing the SO per cent
of all that comes in the average il
y the United States is now only 4
= per cent, and the Mills bill woul,
. reduce this to 40 per cent.
" Tariff, then, means in common
use, that share of imported good
;, , (or its equivalent in money! whicl
the government siezes for Its own
Originally this seizure was a
= act Of mere piracy. In our time

Harrison andMorton were elected
President and Vice President.
Harrison carried every Northern
State except New Jersey and Con
nectiCut.
The House of Representatives is
Republican by small majority
from one to six.
After the 4th of March next the
Republicans will have control Of
every department Of the Govern
ment.
Cleveland's majority in Virginia
was only about 5000.
In West Virginia both parties
still claim the State, only the off.
cial returns will decide the matter.
The Delaware Legislature is Re-
publican on joint ballot, and thus
securing a Republican Senator in
place Of a Democrat.
OF the 26 senator's whose terms
expire in March next there will
be II Democrats and 10 Re.
publicans reelected. Riddleberger
of Virginia will make way for a
Democrat and Salisbury Of Della
ware for a Republican.
Martin Van Buren in 1910 and
Cleveland in 1888, both of New
York, were the only two presidents
defeated for reelection, one by the
original General Harrison and the
other by his grandson.
A dispatch of Tuesday last says
the result OF the election in West
Virginia is still in doubt, two coun-
ties being unheard from. The
majority will not be two hundred
either way. Riley, the Democratic
chairman says that Cleveland has
the State by 1875 votes, but that
Goff, Republican, is probably elect
ed Governor.
A Washington dispatch of the
18th says the complexion Of the
next house is not yet settled and
much interest is being manifested
therein by both parties. The Post
admits that the Republicans will
have a majority Of three while they
claim not less than ten.
A Washington special ofthe 18th
to the Times Democrat, says there
have been no returns received here
to-day changing the opinion tha'
the next House will be Republican
by 5 or 6 majority.
Mr.. Breckenridge, Of Kentucky
one of the few Democratic Con
gressmen here, figures out majori
ty of from / to3. This is the resul
reached by nearly all the Demo
Gratis here, officeholders or other
wise. The Republicans, however
put the figures little higher
There, therefore, seems no doub
that the Republicans will organic
the House Of the Fifty.frst Con
gress.
Among other duties the new ap
portionment after the eleventh cen
sus will probably be made by tn
Fifty-frst Congress. This may re
suit in the loss Of one or two Repre-
sentatives to the South. In tn
Northwest there will be increase
representation, and it is expecte
that the electoral college will b
not less than 20 votes stronger fou
