for working women the world, masculine

rule that home. No pictures. no birds,
no beaux and no privacy, in fact no will
or liberty at all, was to be the order
thereof No woman that was not re-
spectacle was to be admitted, and as they
thought no woman was respectable who
did not prefer a bare cllbby hole in a
magnificent building to a home of her
own in cheaper erection, it followed
that none but sticks and stones Of women
were expected or desired therein. As
shere are few women in this world of
ours. God be thanked, SO oppressed and

ENGLAND AND OUR TARIFF LAWS

The Providence Journal says: There
is a good deal of misrepresentation in
the current talk about England being
delighted at the proposed changes in our
tariff laws. The fact is that intelligent
English merchants and manufacturers
see with perfect clearness that If our
restrictions on foreign trade are mod
erately and wisely relieved, their own
business is likely to be seriously injured
by American competition. y recent
Royal Commission, for example, re-
ported that nothing except the peculiar
tariff arrangements of the United
States kept England from losing to us
the greater portion of her foreign trade
in wOolen goods.

They Ate Raw Meat.

family named Taylor, consisting OF
seven persons living seven miles west
of here. are all sick from the effects OF
trichine found in raw and rare cooked
hams. The family is by no means OF
the kind that eats raw meat ana int
manner of their acquiring the disease
will serve as a pointer to others. They
had a fine lot of smoked hams, and one
of the girls in slicing it for meals had a
habit of eating the small raw pieces
which fell from the knife. Others OF
the family soon took up the habit, and
without knowing it, a considerable
quantity of nicely smoked raw ham
was daily disposed of. They all pre-
ferred it rare done when frying, ana
in that way they got well loaded with
trichine. At all events the entire
family was taken down. The meat was
examined under microscope and was
found to be full of trichine. The meat
was from healthy hogs and had been
cared for as we'll as possible.
