A CHANGE OF TUNE.

After heaping all Of ridicule,
false accusations and abuse on the Tariff
bill prepared by the Democratic members
of the Ways and Means Committee and
fairly shaking their sides in uncomfortable
merriment at the mere idea Of the bill be-
coming a law, the New York Tribune and
other party organs have, with the swift
turn OF the organ grinder, changed their
tune and are now seeking 10 rally their
scattered forces to save the grand old party
from SYNONYMOUS route. They have
Awakened 10 the fact that the work of the
Democratic members has been done with
a fairness and moderation that are steadily
gathering strength to their bill; that as the
country gets more familiar with its
provisions and their effect it IL be-
coming better satisfied with them;
that the President is heartily in favor OF
the bill aud fully prepared to adopt it as
an administration measure; that Mr.. RAN
DAIL's bill, offered with such a d9Urish Of
trumpets, is satisfactory to nobody; that
his alleged following are falling away
from him, until but a single member from
Pennsylvania remains, as against its full
Democratic membership in the fight with
the first MORRISON bill, and all but three
in his fight with the second MORRISON
bill.
All these things sud more Of the same
kind have put the Tribune and other high
tariff organs in a state OF mind, and the
Republican members of the Ways and
Means Committee have all at once dropped
their do-nOthing tactics, and their obstruc'
ton, and set to work like beavers, to pre-
pare some proposition which will 90 be-
fore the country as their policy in the ex'
isting crisis.
And here comes the difficulty. As long
rs mere obstruction would do it was plain
sailing. When, however, they set to work
to formulate a tariff policy of their own
and materialize it into a bill, the trouble
begins.
The farmers of the Northwest, Of Iowa,
Michigan and Minnesota, are clamoring for
reduced taxation. Leading Republican
papers OF that section are daily yOicing this
demand, notably the Chicago Tribune, the
Omaha Bee, the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
In tie East the trusts and mOnopOlies
gEow furious at the very suggestion of
reduced taxation of which they are so
largely the benefciaries, and their organs,
the Tribune, Of New York, and the Press of
Philadelphia are cursing with fearful NAL
edictions any recreant Republican who
would touch a hair Of the head Of the
sacred tariff. Truly a harmonious house
hold! 1t is clearly our time to laugh.

STRANGE stories come from across the
ocean about the German Imperial family.
The crown prince, who in all probability
will ascend the throne before the present
year is at an end, ia OF strong German pro-
c~livitiss and bitterly hates his mother and
his mother speOple. The Empress Victoria,
in addition to a thanklsss child, has a
powerful enemy in the person of the Iron
Chancellor. Yet despite this strong com
bination, her great influence over her hus-
band assures her an important place in
German politics and makes her dangerous
Toe.
The conservative course of the present
Emperor has been extremely distasteful
to Prince William and his dissatisfaction
Is expressed openly. The Prince represents
the warlike spirit of the nation,
a spirit which Bismarck voiced in
the memorable words I'VE Germans
fear God. We fear naught else" lie is
the idol Of the great German army, which
believes that when be comes to the throne,
he will give it stern work to do. The
whole military element OF the nation is en-
tbusiastic IN his behalf, and looks with
angry distrust on the peaceful i~uclinations
of his father.
To add TO all these sources of danger, the
soldiers idol and the heir to the throne is
afflicted with an iGcurable disease, which
eycn now threatens his life. II is not i'm
probable that the doomed Emperor may
outlive both father and son. Iu such a
contingency the headship OF the German
nation would fall on infant shoulders.
Amid so many threatening complications
the outlook for the fatherland is not q
bright one

AT SCHOOL,

We are all at school In this world of ours,
And our lessons lie plain before us;
But we will not learn, and the flying hours
And the days and the years pass DER us.
And then we grumble and mourn and say
That our school is so tiresome and weary,
And we ask for long bright holiday
That will Danish our lessons dreary.
But what is it God is trying to teach?
Is patience or faith, or kindness?
Is the lesson really beyond our reach,
Or made hard through our willful dizziness
II we were in earnest, and tried to learn,
II our listless study we Inended
Who knows but our holiday we would earn,
And our school days be gladly ended
Who. knows but we make our lessons long,
And hinder their meaning from reaching
The hearts that would be full of joyous song
II we knew what our God was teaching?
Then let US study His will while we may;
There's warning for us in the rule
That the scholar who will not learn all day
Is the one that is kept after school.

a New York newspaper lately con-
tanned an account of a young girl in
that city who, in attempting to give
her hair, which was of dull hue, a
golden luster, burned the flesh of her
head with acid, and injured her sight
for life. Another young woman, in
New Orleans, following the directions
of some flash society paper, in endeav-
oring to remove the mOles upon her
face, poisoned the flesh, and died in
great agony.
The use of certain hair dyes, con-
tanning lead, in many instances has
brought on affections of the brain. A
well-known American writer attributes
an obstinate attack of typhoid-fever,
which left her an invalid for years, to
her use of popular anti-fat system of
diet and violent exercise. She lost
sixty pounds of flesh in few weeks,
but the sudden weakening of the tis-
sues rendered her susceptible to the
poison Of typhoid, and unable to re-
sist it.
How many of girl readers have
pored eagerly over the remedies
prescribed by INSCRIPTIONS writer's,
for ugly young women, and have been
tempted to try the lotions, the severe
protracted HASTINGS, the bandages.
medicines, or screws which are
to remove their defects or large
bones, leanness, fairness, pimples,
moles, crooked eyes, Or wide
mouths? In no case Is it neces-
sary, according to the advertisements,
to seek the advice of a physician; yet
most of the remedies suggested are of
the most dangerous kind in unskillful
hands, and likely to increase deform-
ity, and to produce i'll health.
But putting aside the question of
the utility of remedies to remove nat
ural personal defects, an ugly girl
should know that the surest way to
keep her homely features or awkward

them herself. Self-consciousness is
disagreeable in beautiful woman; in
an ugly one it is intolerable.
Are these girls with dull eyes and
large noses, then, to give up all hope
of pleasing their companions? By no
means. A woman, who for MANY
years, led the highest social life of
Pennsylvania, had neither fortune nor
a remarkable intellect. She was
stout, red-haired, small-featured and |
freckled; but her voice was sweet and
low, her heart big enough to take in
all the world; her sympathies wide, her
tact infinite. She was simple, genuine, |
