8 nipple Joys Undreamed of by the
Wealthy and Worldly,
When husband and wife are true
hearted, there is no greater aid to
happiness than few deprivations and
their married life. 1t is great thing
for each to realize that he or she is
sacrificing something for the other.
The wife came with empty hands to
the husband who had no rich gifts to
bestow; but while she is struggling
and saving, and he is toiling and de-
nying himself. the consciousness
of doing it for the others sake
confers happiness nothing can
equal It will be in more prosperous
days alone, perhaps, that both will
realize the pleasures of the poverty
they endured in youth. In that grand
new house there is nothing lacking
that taste can devise or wealth pro-
cure. Yet amidst the splendors and
delights, the hearts of oth-the wife's
oftenest, without doubt-will turn
with wistful affection to the little home
of old times. poverty stricken and
inconvenient rs it was. The hardships
and discomforts endured within its
walls have passed away like mist be-
fore The sunshine. and memory only
recalls the delights of contriving.
managing and arranging. The fun
enjoyed over amateur attempts at
carpeting and surprises IN cookery.
The brief, sweet holidays stolen from
weeks of toll. saved for SO anxiously
and looked for SO eagerly. These and
hundred other simple joys are the
pleasures OF poverty. in fact, un-

SLAVERY IN BRAZIL.
How aiBody of Masonic Slave-Owners Were
Affected by American Visitors.


Affected by American Visitors.
Slavery still exists i'll Brazil. A
curious event in this connection was
brought about by the recent visit Of
two New York Freemasons to Pernam-
buco, maritime province of Brazil,
containing 100000 inhabitants. The
Masons i'll question were officers of the
United States steamer Alliance, which
vessel, after an African cruise, put into
Pernambuco. These officers were pos
sessed of the thirty-second degree, and
as such signifed their intention of visit
ing '.Cavalhierres de Cruz" lodge and
chapter Of that place. After being
duly examined as to their masonic
qualifications. the Freemasons of that
place extended to them fraternal
welcome. The brethren OF the differ
ent degrees met in their large hall to-
gether, the business being transacted
in the, first or lowest degree. But
before admitting the American
brethren the Brazilians discussed
the masonic teachings and the
practice of holding slaves or traffick-
ing in bonded humanity, showing
that they were inconsistent with each
other. 1t was argued that they could
hardly receive and entertain Masons
who were absolutely free in thought
and possessions while they themselves
were holders of slaves and evidently
violating the law Of universal human
freedom.
In honor Of the Americans thirty
two members at once signed an edict
that after November Z, 1887, no broth
er of that order should purchase any
slaves, but should liherate those he
might possess on that day; but before
any new member could be admitted he
must liberate every slave he might pos
sess; but no member, under pain OF ex-
pulsion, should expose the place of re-
fuge Of a slave, do any thing to punish
a slave or allow any one under his or
ders to do so, and lastly, he was for
hidden to practice any act which should
give authority or right to any man over
the body of another. The American
brethren were then admitted and told
Of the action Of the assemblage. ~

PATENT MAPLE SUGAR.
1t Is Made by Mixing Extract of Hickory
with Amy Ordinary Sirup.

1t Is Made by Mixing Extract of Hickory
with Amy Ordinary sirup.
Among the curious inventions for
which a patent has been granted is
one to Josiah Daily, of Madison. Ind.
by which any body who likes maple
sugar and maple sirup may readily
supply himself at a small cost If the
patentee's statement is correct. it is no
longer necessary to go through the
tedious and exhausting labors of tree
tapping and sirup-boiling in order to
obtain maple sugar. If it should be
found that the patent process will also
convert into maple sirup solution OF
the newly discovered chemical sweet
known as ..saccharine, " which is said
to be three hundred times sweeter
than cane sugar. or the more
recent artificial sugar of Drs.
Fischer and Tafel, then the very acme
of transformation will have been
reached. and the interposition of Con-
gress will be necessary to save the
genuine maple sugar industry from
going to destruction. The patent
maple sugar is made by simply mixing
an extract of hickory with an ordinary
sirup such as cane sugar sirup or
sorghum. The patentee says: 1.-The
extract is to be obtained in any con-
venient manner, such as making de-
coction of the hickory bark OF wood,
or percolating liquid through the
same, or drawing off the sap from the
tree. The bark or wood of the hickory
tree may be ground to facilitate the
extraction of its principle, and the
extract may be made more OF less
strong by increasing or diminishing
the guam tity of bark or wood, or
by boiling the extract for longer or
shorter time. In prepari ng sirups l
ordinarily add about three tablespoon
fuls of the decoction to gallon OF
heated or boiling sirup. OF course
the stronger the extract the less the
quantity required for favoring given
amount of sirup. The sirup may be
manufactured from any kind of sac
charine matter or mixture OF sac
charine matters, or the sirups ordi-
narily found in the market may be
used. The effect of the extract or de-
coction is to give to the sirup the
flavor of the maple, producing a
strip which can not be distinguished
from genuine maple sirup. 1t is evil
dent that the favored sirup may be
boiled down and a sugar resembling
maple sugar in taste may be pro.
duced. "-Scientifc american.

LEGAL RUFFIANtSM.

Why Lawyers Should Be Compelled to
Treat Witnesses DecentIy.
A lawyer who is proficient in the art
of badgering witness seldom lacks
clients. He is considered smart
and if, by dint of insolent and exas-
perating cross-questioning, he can
goad a man into such a state of excite
ment that he contradicts himself, and
involuntarily commits perjury, the
feat is looked upon as q "great legal
triumph" Occasionally, however, an
abusive counsel is confronted, out of
court, by an enraged witness, and re-
ceives lesson in civility too impress
i've to be readily forgotten. Not long
ago a somewhat notorious men,
Der of the bar in q Southern
city was tremendously pounded by
witness in divorce case, against
whom, in summing up for the defense,
he had insinuated nearly all the crimes
enumerated in the 1ecalogue. The
libeled citizen, who was person of
irreproachable character, met the pro-
fessional traducer at the courthouse
door after the conclusion Of the days
proceedings and thrashed him without
stint or pity. The lagellant was az

ty the law might inflict for the enjoy

We have never been able to see why
lawyer should be permitted to adj
dress respectable member Of society
in the witness box. or to refer to him
after he has left it, in terms as
opprobrious as if he were burglar or
a pickpocket. 1t is. or should be, the
business of a court to protect from in
suit persons who are summoned before
it-often to their own great incon.
yenience-to further the ends OF
justice; and if such protection is not
extended, we hold it to be natural
right Of the outraged parties to
chastise at the first convenient OPP
portunity the maligners and SANDER
ers. Let the privileges Of the legal
profession be respected; but why
should men who play the ruffian at
the bar be exempted from the punish
ment which we all delight to see in

BLEST IN BLESSING.


The uttered wish, or beaming look,
More than the wish revealing
On that glad morn when rill and brook
Were singing while congealing;
And into every shady nook
Some sunbeam would be stealing
The busy hours so blythely spent
On souvenir and token,
Perchance across the wide sea sent
To prove old vows unbroken.
With this new test sweet toll had ieht
When no word could be spoken
Ali this was prelude to the song
OF bliss in blessing others,
So strange unto the selfish throng
Whose greed its music smothers--
But by the cradle lingering long
In lullaby of mothers.
Grand noble lives the song have sung
Who found its glad fruition
The poor and lowly ones among,
Though regal their condition;
While sweet as roses lavish flung
Came thanks for their loved mission.
There is bliss which gold doth buy,
Though from the rock hard rlven-
The prize for which, meath every sky,
Men have through ages striven;
But bliss in blessing bringeth nigh
The blessedness of Heaven!

The greatest suffering the Eskimo
endures is from starvation, or long
sieges of fasting, that reduce them
sometimes to mere skeletons, although
my experience among them goes to
show that the popular accounts that
they were every winter threatened with
this dire calamity to greater or less
extent are grossly exaggerated. They
may have a "pinch' or two each win
ter during the prevalence Of lcng-con-
tinued stormy weather, and every five
OF six years they have to go through a
siege of real hardship, which most ac-
counts would make us believe to be the
usual state of affairs in the arctic Win
ter. Another error is that the Eskimo
make no provision for winter; and
while they are far from provident they
are not wholly wanting in this virtue,
and doubt not in the least that if we
were to have the siege of weather that
usually bring on such calamities with
them we would fare but little better.
Unite about four Dakota billiards. with
a couple of Kansas cyclones, and then
give it the persistency of the American
office-seeker, and one can have faint
idea of the weather the Eskimos some
times have to deal with. ALI their
cases of privation arise from protracted
stormy winter weather, and stormy
winter weather here would be balmy
zephyr there. When the food supply
of an Eskimo village is reduced to that
point where physical weakness ensues
among the members the distribution of
it among the people is no longer
equal. The good, able-bodied hunt
ers among them still receive from
the amount enough to keep them
in strength, and when this is no
longer sufficient to go around among
all of them the better of these even yet
are on full rations until it gets down to
the best hunter, who is kept in good
physical condition until the last NOR
sci disappears. I do not want the read
er to infer that, with the beginning OF
this arrangement of distributing food,
all issues to the weaker people, as the
women and children, are stopped; they
are only proportionally curtailed.
Cruel as it may seem at first sight to
take the food from the mouths of weak
women and crying children and give it
to strong men, there is undoubtedly
much to be said in it's favor from a
strictly practical, unsentimental point,
as there are very few persons, or at
least one person-and that person the
best one-fully ready to take advantage
of the weather's change and procure
food fit be at all procurable, when,i if all
were physically weak with the equal
but small amounts given them, the best
hunters might not be able to procure
food at once, and this would be fatal if
the cessation of the storm were only a
temporary one. All Of the Eskimo of
my acquaintance could narrate in
stances where this plan had saved viii
lagos or parts of them that would have
wholly persisted by any other. -Freder

THE republican county ticket grows
stronger as the contest approaches.
The enemies who have circulated false
stories in regard to one of the candi-
dates have found that their tactics are
damaging their own cause. When the
honest and thinking voters find that
charges are not true, that they are cir
culated maliciously, they Immediately
condemn the perpetrators. The fact
that all of the republican candidates
are exceptionally efficient and worthy
men is generally accepted and appears
in stronger light when investigation is
made. It's a good ticket and will be
elected.

free traders at home and abroad for
Cleveland and his policy, and to refute
the protests of democratic speakers and
press that free trade is not the issue.
The burden of their campaign for four
weeks has been to disproye the presi-

not so near to the president as the

be readily believed that the latter have

fulfillment of their views than those of,
fering denials and apologies. "The

The senate tariff bill has been made
public and is in harmony with the re-
publican principle of protection, at the
same time proposing reduction il the
revenues greater than is contemplated
by the democratic measure known as
the Mills bill. The difference between
the two is in that the former removes
or reduces the tariff on goods not man
ufactured in this country and is thus
protective of native industries, while
the Mills measure makes no diScrimi-
nation, but in many instances threatens
the life of American manufactures.

THE issue of Udrper's Weekly OF
Oct. 9th has the boldness to say that
the wholesale levying of assessments
upon Office holders by the democratic
committee is shameful spectacle and
thinks the demand for voluntary con-
tributions in no wise mitigates the
abuse. They have reports from many
of the states, showing that the abuse is
general and wide spread. The very
polite request for voluntary contribu-
ton is novel, but the only alternative
for the party addressed is a voluntary
retirement from office. Such a bare
faced abandonment of all pretensiOns
of fulfillment of the civil service law
will lose a great many votes to the
democratic ticket in New York, indeed
will ALLEVIATE the faction which elected
Grover Cleveland in 1884. Under the
circumstances it is important that the
party should court popularity with a
new issue, but the stupidity of their
tactics appears in their adoption of a
theory which practice has thrice proven
failure. involving both capital and
labor in disaster and ruin.

lists would unite with the republican

TIE state W. G. r. L. held a four
DAYS session last week, which was the
most largely attended and interesting
meeting of the organization ever held
in Iowa. 1t was sufficiently protracted
to admit of thorough and exhaustive
discussion of subjects, resulting in de-
liberate ami wise action. The state
meeting addressed a memorial to the
national organization imploriug the
superior body TO desist from partisan
methods Of bringing about the great re-
form which all are so ardently, sincerely
and conScientiously engaged in securing.
The voice Of the Iowa women is entitled
10 respectful and thoughtful hearing,
for the results obtained by their efforts
have been as great as those accomplish
ed in any part OF the nation. Their
work in the state ante-datcS the laws
which have brought about such great
reform and placed Iowa at the front as
a temperance state. The influence of
the women's organization upon the law
makers has given US TIE law we have.
1t is needless to dwell upon the fact
that had the union acted independently
and encouraged third party the state
would still be under saloon rule, and
the temperance legion divided into
weak and warning factions, y hNr-
monious union has created potent
power, resulting in a prohiDitory law
quite as well enforced as some other
criminal laws. Then the advice Of the
Iowa women has the prestige Of results
accomplished and is entitled to inhu encg
and weight.
