be challenged that the tariff high or
low ever caused any panic. There
was one in 1857 under a low tariff.
Another in 1873 under high tariff.
They have financial cause. Our
high-tariff friends are undertaking
hard task. The war tariff which was
accepted by the country as a burden
promised to be removed as early as
practicable because it was unjust to
other interests, expected to be re-
moved and afford relief-is now dis
covered by the protected interests to
be a good thing! They are up in arms
to convince the people that what was
thought a burden is really blessing!

in view, stop at no absurdity.-L. d.

A Bloody Shirt Story.

A negro at Memphis was assailed in
his own house by two offended white
men. They had attempted to ride his
mule and he had expressed his disap-
proval of their act. While kicking
down his door, predatory to his MUIR
der, the assailants were shot dead from
a window. Before justice the negro
was discharged, as one who took life
in undoubted self-defense What
Chandler, Hoar. Blair and other
shriekers will do with this episode
when they come to number it among
their Southern outrages can not be
foreseen. In their philosophy it has
been undreamed of. Two white men
dead and the negro at liberty under
the law-such contamination will
bring discredit on the product of every
New England outrage-mill. These be
perilous times for the bloody shirt

of an immense amount Of work.
It is said that watch, If expected to X sep

It is claimed by physicians that few men

ANOTHER WRECK.

Disastrous Collision on the Cleveland Lu-
rain g. Wheeling Road Near Massilon, o.,
Caused by Trainmen's Negligence.
CINCINNATI, Oct ia Post special
from Massilon, o., says that disas-
trous collision occurred this morn
ing ON the Cleveland, Lorain &
Wheeling road, near that city,
between an accommodation train and a
freight train. A number of passengers
were injured. Both engines and seven
coal cars were wrecked. The engineers
and fremen of both trains escaped in
jury by jumping.
Raub Whitman, baggage master, was
damned in behind the stove, burned on
the neck, cut on the head, and his leg
badly injured.
Warren Richards, boy passenger.
was thrown against stove, and cut on
the head.
George B. Clyde, a freight brakeman
was thrown under the cars and badly
hurt
Condu ctor Joseph Davy and Engineer
Harry Hunt of the coal train are respon-
sible. new time -card went into effect
Monday. The brakeman neglected to put
one into his caboose rack, the conductor
looked at the old one and thought he had
thirty minutes to run to Massilon. The
accommodation, under the new card, left
here thirty-fve minutes earlier, hence
the meeting. Loss, about $4,000.

place OF the lost mate is acknowledged
to be a great assistance to the persons
who had the patience to accomplish it.
There are telegraph operators who can
handle the key or write with either
hand, and who in sending or receiving
messages rest one hand while the other
is working. In that way they avoid
the great and protracted fatigue OF one
hand that sometimes results in paraly-
sis, and forces them into some other
kind of business. There are women
who can darn stockings, beat eggs, cut
with scissors, and do many other useful
things with either hand, mechanics who
are even-handed, and men who are am
bidextrous in numerous other ways.
Among my acquaintance in the coun-
try is man who, like Captain Cutie,
has an iron hook in the place of right
hand, but this does not prevent him
from padding up and down the lake
near which he lives, and catching more
fish in day than any other two fisher
men in the vicinity. Besides this, he is
capital wing shot, and last fall brought
down seven woodcock in succession with
his muzzle-loader, which weighs nearly
T as much as an old-fashioned army mus
ket.
When I was up in the Adirondacks
several summers ago I found, after a
little practice, that could cast a trout
fly almost as well with my left as with
my right hand, thus avoiding the in
- 81,
position in the narrow and cranky
canoe. Now I am learning to write
with my left hand, as my right hand be-
comes very tired sometimes; but the
task is much harder, imagine, than it
would have been had begun when /
was school-boy.
In the face of these many instances
can any boy or girl say that uneven
hands can not become even hands
Each one must decide for himself or
herself whether it is worth while to try
to cure the bad habit while the muscles
and inclinations are young and plant,
instead of waiting till some sad emery
ency forces struggle with, inflexible
muscles and fixed ways. The boy who
plays baseball understands how valu-
able in the game it is to be able to bat,
catch, or throw with either hand, and
if he reads the baseball news in the
papers he has learned that left-handed
pitchers are sought for. If he fences
and boxes, he knows that the fencer
who is skillful with his left hand, or the
boxer who can strike a quick, strong
left-handed blow, has a tremendous adj
vantage over the opponent who depends
only on his right hand. One of the
greatest difficulties a young oarsman
has to contend with after he has learned
the action of rowing is the tendency of
the stronger arm to pull the boat out of
its course. In tennis, croquet, and
other sports in which they participate,
girls can discern the advantage of being
able to play with either hand.
First attempts to use heleft hand are
always awkward and discouraging, but
in ordinary cases persistency will grad
ually strengthen the Ieast-used member
and teach it to act as ably and sturdidly
as the right, till finally there will be
two perfect hands instead of one to
answer promptly the call of the master
of all our powers-the will--. r. Her.

How Houses Are Furnished and Adorned
in the French Capital.

How Houses Are Furnished and Adorned
in the French Capital.
Until last year it was the custom to
employ to profusion pushes and heavy
stuffs in the decoration of bed-chambers
and the petit salon, while the parlors
were filed with furniture and the tables
covered with knicknacks. Finally il
began to be admitted that 1t was next to
impossible to breathe in such a crowded
center. Amateur singers also COM
planned, for tapestry, curtains, carpets
and mass of furniture. destroy all the
effects of music. So the tendency now
is to go almost to the other extreme.
The walls are left almost bare, and if
you possess fine large rooms it is Gus
tomary not to have them carpeted, it
being felt that the pretty legs of an
artistic piece of furniture stand out in
all their beauty only on highly pol
ished hard wood floor
But those who go to the other ex-
IRENE and leave their drawing-room al
most empty must leave at least a sofa,
four arm-chairs and four reception
chairs. 1t is the rule to have this fur
niture upholstered in ancient tapestry.
Although this material is often costly
and there seems to be no prospect of
getting it any cheaper, the use of this
stuff has these advantages; it is always
in fashion, it does not wear out and
harmonizes with all colors.
To these necessary articles of furni-
ture should be added two or three round
tables holding knicknaeks, flowers,
vases, etc. In one corner may be placed
a card table half hidden under a cover
of some ancient stuff, and in another
corner an ottoman. The French draw
ing-room used to be famous for its fine
appearing, and marble or bronze
statue or bust occupies the central po-
sition ON the mantelpiece, supported by
candelabra, or lamps half hidden in fine
japanese or Chinese vases
Some clever ladies amuse themselves
by making their own shades out of col
ored tissue paper. but fine lace lined
with light colored silk, is the favorite
lamp shade. These shades put on the
artistic colored glass lamps of Ameri-
can origin, are now, especially in the
evening, often the prettiest objects In
Partisan drawing rooms.
There is also a growing tendency to
do away with curtains, even when made
of rich guipure or when adorned with
middle-aged embroidery, both of which
styles have long been held in high IA
vor. This change is due to the fact
that curtains hide windows and the
panes which are worth seeing to-day,
because of the vogue of small middle
age panes or of the large fine crystal
glass ones that fill the whole window.
Shades, which are taking the place OF
curtains, are made of silk in light tints
or of gauze artistically looped up

AMERICAN MINERALS.


Il Extracts from tho Annual Report 81 the
Bureau of Mining statistics.
According to the first series OF ad-
vance sheets of report from the chieI
Of division Of Mining Statistics and
Technology, the Manu- ctures's' Gdsetse
is informed that II, 800, 900 tons OF do
nestle iron was consumed in 1851.
That /. 194, 301 long tons OF imported
iron was consumed. and this amounts
to about !. 454. 1868 tons more than In
1886, GAIT, 148 long tons OF pig iron
was made in the year ending Decem-
Der 81, and 8. 1883, OIL long tons OF steel
was produced in the same time. Over
5000, 900 tons of limestone was con-
sumed as flux in the productions OF the
above metals.
The report also stated that S33, 100, :
600 of gold was produced. Also, $685.
Al, 800 of silver. The production OF
copper has increased to 1S4, 67O,524
pounds. The increase of production Is
largely shown in the amount OF lead.
which was 100, 700 short tons, an In
crease of over 80, 600 tons for the year.
The zinc product was 5O,34O tons.
Quicksilver being measured by the
number of TASKS, it is not easy to esti-
mate the amount. The increase was.
however, about 1000 TASKS, making
the amount for 1887 about 33,S25. The
nickel mining report shows 1873. 10
pounds. Anthony, about IS tons.
Aluminium bronze, as now made,
contains 10 per cent. of aluminium, and
production is stated to be about 144,-
764 pounds. The amount of platinum
produced during the year is 44S ounces,
but part of this came from British
Columbia
The estimation of the entire amount
of commercial coal in 1887 was 123,-
965, 255 short tons. This also includes
bituminous and brown coal, Ignite,
small lots of anthracite, produced in
Colorado and in Arkansas. Also 5000
tons of graphite coal mined in Rhode
Island.
The product of asbestos hardly ex-
ceeds $50 tons. There was mined TO-
600 long tons of mineral paints, includ-
ing ochre, and small quantities of UNI
Der and sienna. The production of
graphite has not changed from the re-
port of 1886, the total production being
416, 900 pounds. This does not include
about 5000 tons of impure graphite,
mined in Rhode Island for foundry fac
ings.
Fluorspar has been mined to tho
amount of 5000 tons, and mineral wa
tiers have been sold to the amount Of
8, 259, 600 gallons. To this statement
might be added 1927, 4S7 short tons of,
coke. Also %, 249, 543 barrels of petro-
leum, each barrel holding AZ galons.
The production of natural gas is esti-
mated as equivalent to 9,055,O0 short
tons of coal. In making this estimate:
the gas is regarded as displacing so
much coal.
Over 1926, 100000 worth of building
stone has been produced, according to
direct returns from the producers;
e40, 900, 600 of brick and tile has been
Also 6,692, 744 barrels
Of cement, with an average value of
fifty cents per barrel.
Some 600 short tons of corundum has
been produced from North Carolina
and Georgia; 374,OO tons of grind
stones have been sent out from Ohio
and Michigan, also 5000, 900 of Buhr
stones; $4,000 tons of gypsum has
been disposed OF in the markets.

cupidity of capitalists whose interests
are protected at the expense of the
people.
1t is proposed to reduce the rev.
enue of the Government S75, 100000.
Democrats insist that this be done
so as to reduce the burden of taxation
at the same time. They propose to do
this by reducing taxes on articles en-
tering into manufactured products and
which multiply themselves five-fold.
The total reduction of the tariff on
imports by the Mills bill is, in round
numbers, $50, 900, 900. one fifth sugar.
Of the remaining $4O,OOO.OOO it is
safe to say the manufacturers collect
5000, 100000 to the $40, 900. 900 which
goes to the Government.
The sugar tax is almost as much a
revenue tax as the tax on tobacco.

duces the taxes after this fashion:

the reduction of taxation by the SEN
ate bill:

In other words, the Democrats con-
slider first the taxpayers; the Repub-
icans protect those who are contribut-
ing of their fat for the election of
Harrison.
1t will be noticed that the reduction
of revenue is the same in each case,
the Republicans thus confessing that
the revenues are redundant and ex-
cessive; that a surplus does exist, and
should be reduced.
But they propose to reduce the rev.
enues and continue to the utmost the
robbery of the consumer under the
forms of law.
By the adoption of the Mills bill the
indirect taxes collected by Carnegie
and Jones, by the steel-rail trusts and
all other trusts, are reduced $780,
600. 900.
By the Senate bill they are reduced
at high estimate $40, 900, 900.
The people will have no difficulty in
deciding between these two bills
