COSTLY CHRAPNEss.

All the Englishmen are not free traders, and some of those who are not are trying to tell their countrymen that free trade is not the chief blessing. Speaking of the conse- quences of free trade in the matter of work and wages writer in the London Post says: Every free traders must know in his heart that the system means to us in the future in creased foreign competition, and that our laborers will have to be content to earn lower wages or cease to work at ali. G., starve. Do they tell our laborers thisa Do they let them fully understand what that cheap loaf is to cost theml Not bit of it. They can give them the present bribs of oheapness; but take good care not to en1ighten them as to the cost they will have to pay for it.
 The same bribe of eheapness is offered the voters of this country by the advocates of free trade. And 1t would work here very much as 1t has worked in England. How this is let the writer above referred to tell. He says: The great free trade Jumbo that has sent us cheap hairpins, cheap pocketknives, cheap corkscrews, cheap everything is now bringing us cheap wages and cheap foreign labor. We'll, these s0,0O0, 900 seemed to like it at first. They bought cheap and for many years owing to the supremacy which we enjoyed over the whole world, they did not feel the consequences of that system. Ask them now Ask the thousands who have emierated. Ask the ruined agricultur- ists Ask the countless numbers of unem- pleyed in all our large towns how they like their "cheap loaf" Their capital has gone their labor is no longer wanted in this country. Those who have the money which formerly would have given them employment have found that other lands can employ it to better advantage, and the wealth that might have been distilling throughout England into their pockets, is now going abroad to pay the very men who compete with them and crush them. Nine-tenths have only their labor for capital, and yet they refuse to pro- tect that labor. Slowly they arc awakening and let us hope that before it is too late Eng land will realize that she can no longer af- ford to live under 6 system which every other first class country repudiates as lead- ing nations to destruction.
 The people of this country ought to Dc able to learn from the experience of England without going through the experience them selves The lesson is plain enough.

TEACHING DnEssmAKERs.

Things HefeaKter To 8e Learned By
 French Apprentices.
 Parisian dressmakers have always had 8 reputation for taste and skill. They were, however, generally trained in a rather irreg ular fashion, much being left to their intui- tive or their initiative faculties. Nowadays, however, apprentices are educated profess sionaIIy in most methodical manner, and it is predicted confidently on this account that the dressmakers of the future will be the most wonderful products that the world of fashion has ever seen. In all the profession al school of the city of Paris girls are taught not only sewing, but Euclid and drawing. After having mastered the mysteries of the "Bridge of Donkeys," and all the other theo- rems and propositions evolved and elucidated by the famous Greek mathematician, the embryo dressmakers receive elaborate lessons in design. Their teacher is a skillful geo. netrician and designer, as well as a perfect needlewoman and tailoress. She makes her pupils sketch on paper or on cloth with graphic and symmetrical precision the cos- tunes which they have ultimately to con- struct in solid stuffs, and teaches them to transform various articles of feminine sstire by rapid strokes of pencil or chalk from 8 rOLOHuo JO H1SASo4cb, duul AKO0 & cO1neSs0 ON basque into pelerine; but the cultivators of the young dressmaking idea do not stop at drawing and geometry. They also aim at making apprentices water oolorists-not of course for the purpose of enabling them to emulate Turner or Isabey, but In order to help them to combine color with form in the matter of building up dresses. M. Gustaye Congny, who has devoted his time to writing 6 book on this highly interesting subject of the artistic dressmakers of the future, goes into rapture about the remarkable metamor- phosis which fashion is likely to undergo at the hands of the sesthetic dressmakers who are to come. What lovely sartorial sympho- nies he seems to say; what dainty and deli- oious harmonies in founces; what Arcadian poems i I petticoats will be evolved from the brains of the highly trained seamstresses who are on their way to rejoice mankind. A dressmaker will in future be veritable ar- tist, ranking with the doctoresses in medi- cine and physics, and ''distancing" all the members of the minor callings and pursuits which are nowadays taken up by females.

 President Carnot and Mime. Carnot live at Fontainebleau this season in the suite of rooms that were fitted up by the Empress Eugenie for her son against his coming of age. They have the use of all the private and State apartments of the palace, all of which have been carefully kept in order for the past eighteen years, although the palace has been practically deserted. The State rooms are said to be the finest in Europe. Fontaine- bleau was erected for the tallest king of his time, it is said, Francis l., and his height was the unit of measurement which the arch itect took in pitching the ceilings and the crossbeams of the floors. The cabinet makers did the same, and the sofas and carved chairs, which were just right for Francis, are useless for the rulers of the present generation. Neither of the Napo- Icons could sit in them without using 8 couple of steps to mount upon-
 The Afghan Ameer is notable ruler. He is his own high court and his procedure is very prompt aud simple. A postmaster be- ing reported for remissness in the delivery of letters was beaten regularly for three days. This was very light punishment. The or- der in some cases is stCut of his nose," in others stCut off his ears," and the sentence is carried out without any needless delay. One night fifteen individuals were executed, some of them having their throats cut, Afghan fashion, ss they lay in their graves. Others were blown from guns. These unlucky peo- pie seem to have miscalculated in certain recent political movements which did not turn out quite as they expected. One morn. ing a married woman and her lover were brought before his highness by the enraged husband. The tears and prayers of the good looking woman for moment softened the Ameer, and he said he would forgive the wo- man, but moved by 8 sense of the fitness of things, he handed her and the lover over to the husband, who slew them both as they had passed the city gate. People knew what was going to happen and focked out to see the two sinners slaughtered. Torture is sometimes resorted to, either as punish ment or to create strong moral impression.

A New Horse Dodge.

The latest diabolism on race tracks is the use of the hypodermic needle, says the New York Sun. It seems that some men who have had the entry of the best tracks lately have managed to inject morphine into horses that they wanted to disable temporarily. They have done it without exciting suspicion by hiding the injection needle in one hand and seeming to slap the horses on the but tocks with some such natural remark as "Here's the horse for my money.' The drug takes effect in half an hour, and the horse goes around the track with his head down, the wreck of his former self. If not too fre- quently dons 1t does not harm the animals.

done with Nevada? The popuia-
ton Of the state in 1880 was 62,269
and it cast a vote in that year OF
81 $50, or a little less than 80 per cent.
Nearly every vote taken since that
year has shown decreasing popula'
ton. This year the total vote Is
1928, which would make its popu-
lation on the ratio of 1880 about
$4,000. This rotten borough is owned
absolutely by Senator Stewart ana

THE book of fate never presented
a more difficult problem than that
which confronts the future of some
If the Southern States. Two races
rs Numerically different as the
whites and blacks of the South never
did and never can work out their
destinies side by side without many
and serious antagonisms. Conflicts
and disturbances cannot be entirely
avoided. The whites on the one
hand should be wise, liberal and con-
siderate. The blacks on the other
hand should accept the situation as
one that the whites of this generation
at least are not responsible for and
would better if they could. Inc
Moses who can lead the Southern
people, white and black out OF thi'
dilemma will be a prophet indeed.
