Public Towels.

The public towel is also never safe to
use, that is, the towel that the public
wipes on. 1t not only removes the moist
ure that is its purpose to do, but 1t rubs
off scales, pieces of dead skin, lymph from
cuts and abrasions, perspiration from the
pores, mucus from the nostrils, pus from
sores and ulcers and any liquid that is
excreted from the surface of the body.
These impurities and disease germs are
retained in the meshes of the towel and
are ready to attach themselves upon sub
sequent users of the towel. A hundred OF

Echoes from the Press,
EMPEROR WILLIAM.

The man who made Germany an
empire is no more. He lacked only
thirteen days of being ninety-one and
preserved his majestic powers until
the last three days of his life.
1t may be doubted if Europe has
ever had more eventiful or success
full reign. lie was with the armies
which overthrow Napoleon the First.
He received the surrender of Napole-
on the Third. Coming to the Prus-
sian throne in 1858, he set his heart
upon the unilicaton of Germany.
After three wars he accomplished the
great purpose, and for nearly twenty
years he has been a practical arbiter
of the peace Of Europe, as wise and
forbearing as he has been bold and
powerful, and no sovereign was ever
more respected and beloved.
A prominent trait Of William was
the faculty of choosing the right men
for the public service and leaving
them great liberty and responsibility.
In the fourth year of his reign as
Kaiser he called Bismarck to the head
of his cabinet. Ever since then that
remarkable man has enjoyed the high
est confidence of his royal and imper-
ial liege, who has been more FRIEND
than master. In the army he called

SIGNING THE FARM AWAY.

Fine old farm, for a hundred years
Kept In the family name;
Corn-helds rich with golden ears
Oft as the havest came;
Crowded barn and crowded bin,
And still the loads kept coming in
Rolling in for hundred years;
And the fourth in the family line appears,
Orchard covered the slope of the hill;
Cider--forty barrels, they say
Sure in season TO come from the mill
To be tasted round Thanksgiving day !!
And they drank as they worked and they
drank as they ate,
Winter and summer, early and late
Counting it as a great mshap
To be found "without barrel ON tap"
But while the season crept along,
And passion into habits grew,
Their appetites became as strong
As ever drunkard knew!
And they labored less and they squander-
ed more,
Chiefly for rum at the village store,
Till called by the sheriff one bitter day
To sign the homestead farm away.
The father, shattered and scented with
rum;
The mother, sick and pale and thin,
Under the weight of her sorrows dumb,
In debt for the bed she was dying in.
| saw the wrecked household round her
stand
And the justice lifted her trembling hand,
Helping her, as in pain she lay,
To sign the homestead farm away
All, how she wept And the food of tears
Swept down her temples bare.
And the father, already bowed with years,
Bowed lower with despair!
Drink Drink 1t had ripened into woe
For them and all they loved below,
And forced them, poor and old and gray,
To sign the homestead farm away.
Oh, many sad scenes have l met in life,
And many a call to pray,
But the saddest of all was the drunkards
wife
Signing the farm away!
Home once richest in all the town,
Home in the fatal cup poured down,
Worse than fires or floods dismay-
Drunkards signing the farm away

Randall, the Democratic protection
list, has made public the provisions
of his tariff or revenue bill. He
would repeal the tobacco tax entirely,
also the tax on spirits distilled from
apples, peaches and other fruits, and
alcohol used in the arts, and reduce
the whiskey tax from 80 to so cents
a gallon. By this means he proposes
to reduce the revenue S7S, 000, 900.
The tariff bill is very complete in its
revision and comes very nearly to Re-
publican ideas. Many articles are
placed upon the free list, but wool is
not one of them. He proposes re-
duction on dutiable articles of about
1000, 900.

Brass SIGNS Extensive.

1t was the custom about five years ago
to have brass signs on doors, and every
merchant invested in bright sheet metal
with name and business painted in in
dented letters. You don't see so many of
them now, and most of those you do see
are dingy and coated with dirty oxidized
covering. Merchants know what these
changes in the styles are, but of all I am
acquainted with this has been the most
expensive. 1t is not like the sign one sets
in his door and allows to remain there
without further concern until it goes to
pieces. It has been cost of $25, and
looked very attractive the first week or
so. Then the variations Of climate
