REGGlNG OF EDMUNpS.


He,v the Vermont Senator Ascertafned
tho vcracity of a Visitor.
Senator Edmunds was evidently out Of
sorts whom the card was handed TO him,
writes Washington correspondent. He
glanced at it in don't bother-me kind Of
way that made the little page who
brought 1t glad to escape from his pres
ence. The square piece of paper which lay
before the Senator--for II could scarcely
be called a card--bore the name, willis
Howe.u The letters were angular and
awkwardIy scrawled. 1t was apparently
the work Of boy or halfgrown lad.
The Senator arose from his seat. and
crossing the corridor, entered the marble
room, where his visitor awaited him. He
found the latter in convers alton with his
committee clerk aWhat does he wantf"
queried the. Senator, gruffiy, and, adj
dressing the clerk.
ssHe wants some money TO take him
home. He says he lives in Vermont"

asked the Senator, studying the charac-
ters on the card.
"Willis Howe" was the boys reply.

The boy replied that the people he
didn't know were not worth knowing.

the name of the fat old man who peddles
milk about town"
"He isn't fat and he isn't DID," an
swered the youngster doggedly. "His
name Is skinny Eccles."
The faintest sort of a smile lit up the
Vermont Senator's stern features. Turn

money. There's no doubling the boys

chuckle as he turned to re-enter the cham

Its Great Public as WeN as Personal Adj
vantaSes Plainly Apparent.
In Germany and IN England. partic-
ularly in the former country, dyspepsia
has been almost an unknown COM
plant, although those who have ever
lived in Germany must be aware that
the demands upon the digestive organs
imposed by the food regularly con-
sumel by the people have been. and
are. quite rs exacting as similar de-
lands made upon the people of the
United States. But among those in
Germany who lead sedentary life the
physical force acquired by the gym
naslic training of their early days has
remained with them throughout life;
WHILE in the absence of such prepare
ton, our American professional and
stand the tests which ordinary modes
of living have imposed upon
their physical structure Fortunate
ly for rs. n great and benefcent
change has taken place, and
with n continuance of the present
popular feeling in favor of physica
eX 'rcise, The coming generations of
Americans are likely to be healthy,
robust and active in their bodies, as
well as energetic and persistent in
their mental work. That this will be
of great public as well as personal
advantage seems TO ms plainly APP
parent There have been instances in
which men suffering from physical
diseases of an exceedingly painful
character have been able to perform
admirable mental work; but this is
the exception rather than the rule.
for it is ordinarily the case that
man can not think in clear and
healthy manner when tho physical
basis Of thought is in diseased con-
dition. We know that the greatest
national successes have been won by
those people with whom physical and
mental development went hand in
hand; hence, change in our own
system which brings it into con-
f rmily with past and present expert
euce elsewhere is in every respect
to be applaudel. But what ought
to be impressed upon the public mind
is the advantage to be gained by a
reasonable amount of physical exer-
else during the whole period of life.

A CLOSE THRUST.
How Bright Youngster Embarrassed .
Charity Worker.

How n Bright YounGster Embarrassed Q
Charity Worker.
A certain charitable mission enterprise,
connected with an important church,
says the Boston Transcript, is presided
over by the young assistant minister OF
the church, who is much admired Tor his
personal graces as well as for his riety
and zeal in good work. He has been as
sisted in the work of instructing, elevat-
ing and amusing the boys who resort to
the mission by some good ladies of the
parish, and particul arly by young WON
an whose benevolent interest in tho mis-
sion work has been supposed to include
the clergyman at its head. She had been
indefatigable in her endeayors to teach
and entertain the boys, and Often nd
dresses them in little speeches.
The other Sunday this young lady was
speaking to the boys in the presence OF
the clergyman. She had exhorted them
company, profanity and other demoralz-
ing things, and closed her little exhorta-
ton with these words.
~ want you to be good boys, and do all
these things that have asked you to, be-
cause l love you all.
Il know who you love mostp small
boy in the front row called out.
"Well, who is it, johnny" asked the
ady. No doubt she expected some accu-
sation of partiality among the boys, which
she would have been glad of an opportu-
nifty to deny.
The boy pointed his small, grimy finger
at the young clergyman.
"Him!" he shouted.
The young lady's interest in charitable
work is said to have de clined visibly for
some little time.

Suffering Mother.
Some one has decl AIRED that there are
few sadder sights than that OF family
Bible in a pawnbroker's window. Still
another person says that the story told
BY such a mute witness Is rivaled by that
to be read from seeing a set of carpenters
tools in the same place. Both are tokens
Of downfali-the one OF religious feeling,
and the other OF industrial and domestic
life. A teacher in the city school at :
tended largely by the poor tells the FOL
lowing story to the YOUTHS Conpduton:
Twas going home late from school on
a cold night, when | met one OF my
scholarship brightest girl of all. She
was trotting along, clasping something
tightly to her breast under her great
shawi--the garment, which was her
mothers, making her little figure look
strangely grotesque and forlorn. The
tears were running, disregarded, down
her cheeks.
aWhy, what can be the matter"
asked, putting my hand on her shoulder.
ooh, nothing, ma'am," she said, as
soon as she recognized me; but the -
of speaking was too gree, an1ss sne burst
into sobs.
ct rnust be something" / insisted.
"Step inside this doorway and tell me.
What is that under your shawl!'
Then her sobs redoubled, and she al
lowed me to draw forth the concealed
package fellows poems, which
had given her at Christmas.
"Ive got to pawn it." she whispered
holding her head low in shame.
"Why? Who wants the money!
"Mother; there's nothing to eat in the
house. She meant to fin sh her sewing
to-day and get the pay for it; but last
night father was gone TIL tweivs, and
when he came home he wasn't just right.
So, being kept awake all night, mother
had blind headache to-day, and couldn't
do her work l don't suppose / on yit to
feel so about my book can get it back
again; but it's hard to think Of its lying
round in the shop"
Suppose you make me the pawDbro-
ker?n said /, giving her som money. "And
when you have had twelve perfect days at
school, you shall have 1t back again"
How / = eyes sparkledf
"May L2' she cried. MAY l, truly
Oh, how good you arel Oh, am glad"
She could not thank me in words, and so
she impulsively kissed my hand. as she
aid the book in it, and darted away with
the money.
It is needless to say that she was per
fectn for more than the next twelve days
and 1t is only safe to prophesy that when
she grows up, my sturdy little maid will
try to carry all the family burdens on her
own shoulders.

Free Trade as Seen in England and
Germany.

1t may be timely, just at present To
give the views of able men who have
studied the workings Of Free trade and
OF Protection, from different Standp liuts
of observation, on the other side of the
Atlantic. For instance, in England.
where the Free Traders are getting scarce
and the Fair Traders" are null plying,
Sir Edward sullivan, in recent article
in the London Post, makes these suggeS-
tive comparisons.
Under free trade the MASSES must get poorer,
because they get less employment. \ wei
known statistical work gives comparison OF
the material progress of France under protect
ton and England under free trade. If there is
any truth in figures it ought to starte Is from
our free trade dreams.
TIE comparison is based on the returns Of
legacy duty
In IS26 England was los. head richer than
France.
In ls5o England was lbs. head richer than
France.
In 1871 England was Us. head poorer than
France
France has ~ per cent, Of her land under till
age and IS increasing every year.
The United Kingdom La, 30 per cent Of land
under tillagc and it Is diminishing every year
but the population Of England increases much
more rapidly than the population Of France.
The commerce Of England has increased n
per cent. IN ten years.
The commerce Of France has increased 81 per
cent. i'll ten years.
The commerce Of the United states has in
creased IS per cent. III ten years
The commerce Of the whole world has incrca,-
ed 26 per cent. in ten years.
So much for the blasting effects Of free trade.
In Germany, SO long ago as the l4th of
May, lsS2, Bismarck, in Il speech before
the German Rcichstag, paid to the Repub-
lican Tariff these tremendous compli-
mentS
The success of the United States in material
development is the most illuslruus of modern
time. The American nation has not only sue
ccssfully horne and suppressed the most gjgan-
tic and expensive war Of all history but immo-
diately aiterward disbandcd its army, found en-
ployment for all its soldiers and marines, paid
off most of its debt, given labor and homes To
all the unemployed of Europe as fast as they
could arrive within lis territory, and still by a
system of taxation 50 indirect as not to be per-
