united on tariff reform, and under its
flag they will be led to victory in the
next contest The campaign of educa-
ton on the subject is constantly going
on. Reduction of wages. increase of
business failures, multiplication OF

production are the results of the re-
turn of the Republicans to power. The
boosted protection to American labor
has been shown in its true colors, and
the American working-mau has had
ample opportunity to study the differ
ence between the principles of the two
parties on this vital question. Colonel
Brice is just the man to secure har-
monious action and preserve intact the
prestige of the party. His zeal. single

ests, rare judgment and unconquerable
spirit, gave a strong impetus to the

Democratic Devotion to Principle.
The action of the Democratic

Calvin S. Brice as chairman and sue
cessor of the lamented William H.
Barnum is cheering evidence
of the mistaken loyalty of the
leaders of the party to principle, as
well as deserved tribute to faith
full worker and capable organizer.
The position of Colonel Brice on the
question which rallied the Democracy
to their cOlOrS in the last campaign is
unequivocaL He is known as an
ardent advocate of tariff reform, and
his election as chairman of the
National Committee is an unmistak-
able evidence that the party has not
the slightest intention of taking one
step backward from the impregnable
position assumed during the Presiden-
tial campaign. The advice and pre-
dictions of traitors have come to
naught The party is immovable on
the subject of lower taxes and no dis
ordinations, and it will be found as

important of National questions, as
sumed by the party last year, would
be political suicide. The principle of
tariff reform demonstrated its
strength. even when imperfectly
understood in many quarters. by
popular majority of 100, 200 through
out the country. Only through the
employment Of the vilest agencies were
its enemies enabled to secure a major

He Allows Curiosity Seekers to Break
Cobble stones on His Head.
There is live novelty in an uptown
dime museum that is attracting gen.
eral attention. This drawing card"
is man who glories in the exclusive
possession of the power to let immense
cobble stones be broken on his head.
The customary grain of salt does not
accompany this museum statement.
The man is as large as life and as plain
to the sight as day-if the established
admission fee is paid. While doing
his ''act" he wears a large but frailly-
constructed helmet of iron. This is a
sixteenth of an inch in thickness, and
is placed over his head. the base or
lowest extremity resting on his shout
ders. There is an opening for the eyes
and nose. On the top is a square groove
in which an ordinary cobble stone is
placed. Then one of the audience is
requested to break the stone. A
common, large-sized sledge hammer is
used in the work of destruction. The
object of the helmet is to offset the eff
feet of any blow that might miscarry
and land about the face or shoulders.
The man shows twelve tim es a day
twelve new and perfectly constructed
stones being used. There is no flake"
about the hammer, the stones or the
destroying blows. The enemy to the
cobble told reporter that he first dis
covered that it was impossible to
break his skull when. on shipboard,
he fell from aloft to the deck. a dis
lance of one hundred and ten feet. He
landed. according to his story, fat on
the top of his head, and got up smil-
ing. This fall was the means of put
ting him into an easy livelihood. he
says, and he has become so accustomed
to cobbles that be actually believes the
biggest steam pile driver of the land
would have a large contract on hand
if it attempted to smash his upper
Y. Mail and Express.

Laying Brick in Winter.

The singular fact is mentioned that
while in Great Britain building opera
tons are suspended on the slightest
approach of frost, bricklaying is car
ried on in Norway during almost the
coolest weather that prevails for any
time. Thus, in Christiana, building
during the winter months, it is stated,
has now been practiced for at least
twelve years, but more frequently dur
ing the last five, all the buildings thus
erected having stood remarkably WELL
Experience has not shown that walls
built in winter exhibit, subsequently.
more dampness than those erected in
summer. The reverse may be the
case. since the difference between the
temperature of the air and of the NOR
tar cools the latter by evaporation and
takes away great part OF the moist
ure. According to the opinion OF the
principal builders in Christiana. brick
layers work, executed with due care
in winter is really superior TO similar

sisting simply in the use OF unslacked

mediately before use, the proportion
of lime being increased as the Their
mometer falls; the only care required
is to utilize the unslacked lime so
handily and quickly as to enable the

it cools. Another very important con-
dition is that the bricks be always kept

The fatty matter floats to the top, and
the dirt goes to the bottom. The but

this jar it absorbs certain amount of
water, and to get rid of this it is taken

per cent. of the butter can be saved.

which is produced by its combustion is
said to be very efficacious in the cure

for soap-making; for this latter pur-
pose it has more than once been intro

but up to the present has
never been utilized on an ex-

The Indian representative of the
family, the Bassta latyolia, is very
abundant in all parts of India, and the
butter expressed from the seed is used
in much the same way by the native
Indians as that of the BassiG Parkit is
