The Engineering and Building Record
discusses seriously, albeit with Just an
inkling Of sarcasm, the tariff taxation of
electricity generated on the Canadian
side of Niagara Falls. The journal in
question holds that electricity as
furnished for lighting aud power pur-
poses should be considered manutac-
tured article, and as such the Treasury
Department could consistently and log
ically procesd, "by the imposition o;
suitable tariff, to protect this product Of
certainly very infant industry from any
competition with the pauper lighting of
foreign and less favored countries" Here
is delicious and double barreled sarcasm.
Hithsrto,in Difference to the provisions Of
certain instrument known as the con-
stitution OF the United States, tariff
duties on imports have bsen imposed by
Congress. But the higher law" for
which the centrslizing genius Of Republi-
canism has such prediction has, with
the Harrison administration, been re-
sorted to by the Treasury Department in
in this very direction OF usurpRtion, 40
illustrated by the recent wors,ed deoi-
sion With that encroachmen, so fresh
in memory, the Engineering Record is ex.
cusable Tor getting little mixed and
speaking of the imposition Of suitable
tariff" by the department, instead OF by
Congress. But Pennsylvania court has
decided that electricity is not manu-.
featured article, and this might con-
strain the department to class it
among raw materials and TO hesitate
to impose" an import duty; for there
are presumably limits to the arbitrary
assumption OF legislative power by even
o Republican Secretary. 1.-The current, :"
continues the Engineering RecJrd, TAX
ing it for granted that some excuse will
be found for taxing it, would, OF
course, be metered out. the matter
might become complicated in the case of
storage batteries, for though the prinoi-
Piles OF political economy might be
equally applicable, the determination by
the average custom house inspector OF
the eIac: amount of electrical energy
contained in given battery would be
likely to prove delicate and difficult
operation for which no ordinary weigh
ing or gsuging would suffice" Query-
II an American citizen should set up a
windmill Just inside the line, would it be
in order TO tax ouch pauper Canadian
breezes as might inpinge on the sails of
such mill?

much TO be derlored, the Press admits,
that men are to be found so utterly de-

E. W. Halford, the Private Secretary of
President-elect Harrison, has been most at
tentive to the calls of his church and zeal
GUS in its Sunday school work. His Bible
class has been a noticeable one, and a Sunday
was rare when he was not there to give the
class the benefit of his thorough Biblical
knowledge. Yesterday he was with the class
for the last time, and at the close of the
exercises of the school, W. G. Van Arsdel
of the Bible class read an expression of high
regard for the teacher and sorrow for the
parting. To this were added brief speeches
of esteem and affection by Captain Ritter,
John B. Connor, J. Hereth, W. T. Brown
and DIR. Ford. Mr.. Halford responded, and
the emotion he felt now and then showed
the strong attachment that existed between
him and the school. At the close the beau
tiful hymn, "God be With You Till We
Meet Again." was sung. Mr.. Halford, as
the school passed out, shook hands with
each member. receiving from him and her
Godspeed.

one sore. 1t covered my entire body, my face,
head, and shoulders being the worst. The
white scabs fell constantly from my head,
shoulders, and arms; the skin would thicken
and be red and very itchy, and would crack
and bleed if scratched. After spending hun
dreds of dollars, was pronounced incurable.

When he gets started he can write for
hours at time, and it seems pleasure to
him. ALI he wants is to be let alone. He
will occasionally stop, take walk around
his Office, whistle few notes of 'Home,
Sweet Home" and other kindred airs, and
then sit down at his writing again. He
also possesses the faculty of conversing and
writing at the same time, and when he be-
comes intensely interested in his writing, or
deeply absorbed, in sudden inspiration or
sentiment, he will get up on his feet and
lean over his desk and continue his writing
with increased rapidity.
When he does this those around him

Here let me hint that taste goes farther
than money in remedying this defect. You
may not be able to afford pictures and new
carpets end furniture, but you can fill the
windows with house plants, and keep few

their young owners. Don't complain the
dog is in the way, or grudge the seed bill

ion on modern evangelism:
We need no special evangelism in
the Methodist Church, of the modern
type. We say of the modern type. Nor
modern evangelists are very unlike
those of other days. st Paul was an
evangelist. He would not build on
another mans foundation. He went
into the regions beyond and blazed cut
a new track in the wilderness. But
our modern evangelists, for the most
part, operate only in large towns and
cities, where well-organized churches
abound and there is an army of organ
lied Christian workers. The early
Methodist preachers were evangelists
of the Pauline type. They carried the
gospel to destitute places. They
preached the Gospel where it was most
needed. They delighted in enduring
hardness to open up the Gospel mission
and establish church in some desti-
tute community, the poverty of which
caused it to be passed by and overlook
ed by others. This Is scriptural evan
gelism. To such evangelists the Mas
ter will say, "Well done.n But the
evangelism which must have large.
wealthy churches and cushioned pews

lament type. The commercial spirit Is
conspicuously absent both from the
evangelism Of the Apostles and that OF
early Methodism.

Failing Hair.

The hair, like the nails, is very much
affected by the various conditions of
: the physical frame. One of the first
indications of failing vigor is the dry
ness of the hair, its falling off, or its
turning gray. 1t is said that washing
the head with sage tea will prevent its
falling; some recommend water with q
little ammonia in it a diet Of coarse
food, of bread made Of the whole
grain, and of the great variety of
mushes, is said to improve the color of
the hair. Iron and sulphur, which
give the hair it's color, iron predomina-
ting in black hair, and sulphur in red
and chestnut, are found in the husk Of
the grain, the part rejected by those
no eat only fine flour.
Unventilated hats and head-gear,

So to make the hair fall. Italian,
Greek, and Spanish women, who nev-
er wear hats and are much in the open
air, have an abundant and luXuriant
growth of this much priced ornament
of woman.
But we warn our readers against all
patent nostrums that pretend to restore
or stimulate the growth of the hair.
They contain Spanish flies, or bis
muth, or lead, which are poisons-the
minerals producing paralysis and
sometimes death, and the cantharidcs
raising minute blisters or irritating the
surface, and ultimately doing more
harm than good.
