Victor Hugo's Artistic Ability.

IT is said that if Victor Hugo had devoted
himself to pictorial art be would perhaps
have eclipsed every one past and present who
made black and white a speciality. He was
never at a loss for material-a soft quill pep,
with sometimes hard one TO finish up, and
ordinary writing inks washed in with the
feathery end OF the pen, with any paper that
he found at hand, were often what he worked
with. His ink drawings were frequently
finished up with coffee grounds. New York

The system of receiving books will also be
very contenient. This il provided for oppo-

and then go TO the reader. In some libraries
much greater care is taken In cataloguing
than in others The Boston libraries, when
they receive a book giving only the initial
letters OF the authors name on the title page,
send him a note asking for his full name,
and inclose a postal card with space left
for him TO write it, Thus he has only to
write his own name and drop the card in the
mail box. This prevents confusion where
there are books in the library by authors Of

Land and Free Trade.


Henry George, who is now supporting
Cleveland as the first step towards fee
trade. free land and direct taxation, as
he thinks, will doubtless be gratified at
tine way land is becoming cheaper IN
England. The free trade Democrats
are making special effort this fall to
win O. er the farmers to the support of
Cleveland, and they tell them that they
are being taxed heavily for the benefit
of the manufacturers.
Now the intelligent farmer not only
wants that kind of governmental
policy adopted which furnishes him q
home market for all his surplus farm
products, but he wants the price of
land kept up to the highest notch, and
he knows that this can only be done by
that sort of system which makes all
kinds of business prosperous.
In times of general depression in
trade and manufacturing, IN times of
universal bankruptcy and failures IN
business circles, the s'agnation quickly
extends to the farmers and they suffer
in the depreciation of values as much as
any other class.
| f free trade is a good thing for agri-
culture, as the Golden Club advocates
assert it Is, one would expect to see the
land in free trade England held at a
high price and meet with a ready sale.
Such is not the fact, however, and ii is
VIGOROUSLY true that agriculture IS very
much depressed in England at the pres
ent time. When a farm at Purley,
Essex, England, few years $50, sold
for S25 per acre, it was thought that the
bed rock of low prices had been
reached, but land Is still going down.
The other day farm of about 100
| acres in Essex, known as the Beacon
Hill farm, was sold at auction and
brought the incredibly low price OF
$3.50 per acre.
In what county in Wisconsin can an
improved farm be bought for that insig-
niicant figure?

A Wonderful Irish Echo.
From the Savannah News.

Talking about echoes, Col. Ogeechee
claimed that he had one on his place, a
few miles from Savannah, and that it
beat anything he had ever heard or
read about; it was one which would
clearly repeat whole sentences. A
party of gentlemen arranged to accom-
pany Col. Ogeechee home the next
afternoon to test the wonderful echo.
The colonel found, on getting nome,
that in the beat of the discussion he had
claimed more than the facts justified.
Determined not to be beaten, he called
his Irish laborer.
Pat" saws he, ''some gentlemen are
coming home with me tomorrow after
noon to hear the echo. Now, | want
you to 90 across the river before time
for me to arrive, so you can answer
back whatever we may call out"
"9ou name fur me to play ikker,
sor ?" asked Pat, grinning.
That's it exactly said the colonel.
CHOW, do you thoroughly understand
that you are to answer back exactly
what we say
ooh, yis, sor; We can depind on me
entoirely."
Next ternoon the colonel took his
friends to the river bank, and all were
ready for the experiment.
Making a speaking trumpet of his
hands, the colonel roared:
Are YOU there ?"
Back came the echo with startling
distinctness.

Hard Times in the Con federacy.
From the Century


In August, 1864, a private citizens
coat and vest. made of five yards of
coarse homespun cloth, cost $3.50 eXclu-
sive of the price paid for the making.
The trimmings consisted OF old cravats,
and fOr the cutting and putting tOgeth-
err country tailor charged $50. 1t is
safe TO say that the private citizen
looked veritablc guy in his new suit
in spite of its heavy drain upon his
pOcketbook.
In January, 1868, the material for a
lady's dress, which before the war
would have cost $40, could not be
bought for less than $500. The mascu-
line mind is unequal to the task of
guessing how great sum might have
been had for bonnets brought through
the lines" for in spite OF patient SELF
sacrifice and unaltering devotion at the
bedsldes of the wounded in the hos
pital, or in ministering 10 the needs of
relatives and dependents at home, the
Southern women of those days are cred
tied with as keen ali interest IN the
fashions as women everywhere in civil
lied lands are ant to be in times of
peace. 1t was natural that they should
be so interested, even though that in
terest could in the main not reach be-
vond theory. Without il they often
would have had charm the less and a
pang the more Any feminine garment

praise, and reproduced by sharp-eyed
observers, so far as the scarcity of ma
terials would admit.
But fashions rules were necessarily

Squandered a Million a Year

From the New York Mining Journal.
The Calumet 4 Hecla is no doubt the
most valuable NINE in the world. 1t is
supposed to have some six to ten years
ore blocked out in reserve, though this
very important information for the
stock holders is carefully withheld by
the directors, who. were they disposed
to do so, might easily profit by this want
of knowledge, buying when the stock
was low and selling on & boom like the
present. This would, in the case of a
"Comstock management, be the ex-
pected action.
The original assessments were $l5 a
share on the Calumet and $25 a share OH
the Hecla, each of which had 10000
shares. This would account for only
$500, 0a0 paid in, but it is generally stated
that the total amount of money paid in
on the consolidated stock WAS 81 ,20O,000.
The mine has paid in d ividends no less
than $50, $50 ,0C0, or about S25 for every
81 paid in, or about Sl.20 a year on 81
lnye stcd. @-F
This, however, is not all; out of sur
plus earnings immense sums have been
invested in additional property, and in
gigantic Though in great part unsuitable
or Unnecessary machinery. So that
the property to-day is selling at the rate
of about $50, OO0,C COO, which would repre-
sent at least another S25 on the 81 in
vested. An investor who contributed to
the original assessment, held his stock
until the present time, and sold out this
week, would therefore have received $50
for every dollar he originally paid in.
This immense profit might have been
greater but for the wasteful extravaganza
of the management, which for some
years past practically squandered a sum
that has been estimated at 100000 a
year. This, however, promises. to be
cut down; our criticisms and analysis of
the company's accounts having at least
brought the appointment of a oompe-
tent manager at the mines.

the financial distress OF 1887, and over
| threw the Democratic party in 1870.
Again in 1916 and again in 1897, the co..
| ton lords OF the South clamored for a
| low tariff and cheap goods and they got
from the doughiac4 Democracy all that
| they wanted.
The sectionalism of the Mills bill is
nothing new and was to be expected
wber the policy of the present admins
trotion is practi, ally dictated by the
solid South. 1t is the boast OF the Con
federate brigadiers that those who
fought to establish II siave-holdlng con-
iederacv and their sons have now con-
troll of the government, and there Is
more truth than poetry III the remark.
Mr.. Cleveland is an adrolt politician
and IS too much under the thumb OF the
solid conth TO offend its leading politi-
,.;ans Such men as Carlisle, Mills.
Watterson and Tucker have inherited
the old prejudice against free white
labor. aud look upon manual labor OF
all kinds as degrading and beneath the
dignity of a gentleman. They see the
North prosperins Immensely under pro-
lection and theyswould gladly destroy
its prosperity. The old men of The
South saw the North able TO wage the
most expensive war in all history, I'M
der the Morrill, tariff OF 1861, and out of
revenge they would gladly strike it
down.
1t is the old trial of political strength
over again in this campaign between
the North and the South 1t is not the
bloody shirt, or the old quarrel regard
ing the extension or perpetuation of hu-
man slavery; but it is a controversy at
fecting the industrial policy of the
whole country.
TI,he New South" would lie infinitely
better off under suitable protection
than Ia be stillcd by free trade, but the
old regiH.e is again in the saddle and
