The attempt to place wool

was all South. The attempt to place wool on the free list would injure one-ffteenth of the population of the country interested in wool growing.
 F Mr. Mckinney, of New Hampshire, spoke of the value of sheep growing for the pur- pose of improving poor land. There were three profits from sheep; first, from their wool; second, from their mutton, and third from their fertilizing properties. In the face of this fact the House was asked to place high protective tariff on wool in order that the Ohio farmer might have better profit, although he had three profits from sheep already. Would there be less fertil- izing qualities in sheep under free trade than under protection? It was his impression that the sheep would know nothing about it and would go on fertilizing the ground as before. He did not think that the placing of wool on the free list would decrease the price of wool in this country, but 1t would secure cheaper clothes, because it would enable American manufacturers to compete on an equality with the foreign manufacturers.
 Messrs. Caswell of Wisconsin, Boothnan of Ohio ard Brewer of Michigan protested against placing wool on the free list and claimed it would destroy the industry.
 Mir. Dockery, of Missouri, asserted that there was no political party in the country which was hostile to American interests, and he questioned the sincerity of gentlemen when they charged the Democratic party with desiring to inaagurate English systems in this republic. When the interests of this country were arrayed against those of foreign nations the people would be found as one man in support of their land He contro. verted the argument that free wool would destroy the wool growing industries. Dur ing the high tariff period from 1867 to 1883 there were varying degrees of wool produce tion depending not upon the tariff, but up- A1no<~ 1a-1 aE !
 MT. Allen, of Michigan, said that this country could and would produce all the wool it needed if it were given the chance. The Democrats had protected all of the pro- ducts south of Mason's and Dixon's line and in the same breath charged the Republicans with seetionalism. If they believed they strike at Michigan through her great staples, salt, lumber and wool, with impunity, they would learn differently at the coming election.
 Mir. Lanham, of Texas, said he had seme doubt as te the propriety of the wool sehed- ule, but as the bill was party measure he should support it.
 Mir. DingIey, of Maine, said if under free trade there would be reduction in the cost of the material the farmer must suffer by it. If free wool made clothing cheaper it was because it made wool cheaper and gave the farmer less return for his wool. If it did not reduce the price of wool it could not reduce the price of clothing. Which horn of the dilemma would gentlemen on the other side take! Even should the price of wool be reduced for 8 time it would not be long after free wool had crushed out the wool producing industry in the United States be- fore the foreign growers would take advan- tage of the situation and increase the price. Every woolen manufacturer in his district had said to him that free wool would in the end be curse to the manufacturing interest of the country. Since the Mills bill had been 1ov aIoI S,,4 4l,o seven cents pound. If the discussion of the bill had done this what would the bill it- self do to the injury of the farmer!
 Pending further debate the committee rose and the House at o'clock took recess until o'clock.

 Worldwide Beauties.
 From The Roseleaf.
 The Circassian beauty is young woman with dark, piercing eyes and kinky hair, standing out straight around her head like an electrified mop. Such a beauty may do very we'll for side-show, but she would soon OIOp OOWu tO GnS OEOkHdEy were Su6 GO OaHS her hair in front and do it up in a pug be- hind.
 Cleopatra's Ioveliness doubtedly made 8 greal impreeion upon both Marc Anthony and Cesar, but if the Queen of Egypt was like the rest of her race, as shown on tablets, tomb and monolith, she was 8 1.-the, brown feature, with slits for eyes, decidedly pen- dulons nose aud thick out turned lips.
 According to Flaxham's designs-and he was a most conscientious student-Helen of Troy had long nose, ending in good deal of tip, and running down in straight line from her forehead. Yet both Menelaus and Paris, and indeed by the entire Trojan and Greek nations, she was considered one of the handsomest women of the age.
 Queen Elizabeth had red hair-not the gorgeous Titan red, but an out and out car roty red; Catherine of Russia had green eyes; Lady Jane Grey had long, thin neck, while Lucretia Borgia had scarcely any neck at all. Even such an expert as burly King Harry seemed to have no fixed standard. Look, for instance, at his various choices. Annie Boleyn was a simpering girl, while Catherine Parr was a mature, strongly -fea- tured woman. and both Jane Seymour and Katherine of Aragon appear to have been ladies of commonplace appearance.
