PROFESSOR BONANY PRICE, who
IL leading free-tradeT, and one Of
their greatest authorities, says:
"ShOrter hours Of labor do not, and
can not, compensate 20 q nation for

munIty with dearer goods In order
TO confer special advantages on the

Ingmen Of America want, shorter
hours Of labor or longer hours-prO-
lection or free trade?
This IL the definition Of free trade
given by Professor w. ID. Wilson, Of
Cornell university: "Free trade be-
tween nations will sooner or later
bring the price Of labOT-wAg es-tO
the same level the world over, and
that level will be the lowest figure 20
which tyrrany and mls-government
can reduce the lAbOrers."

SURE CURE FOR DUDES.

The Effect of Courtship and Marriage Oh
Young Mans Dress.
A well-to-do citizen, who has reached
his present prosperous condition by the
route cut out by his own strong hands
and sturdy principles, had words of wis
dom on his tongue when 1 ran across him
this morning. ''Do you KNOW" said he,
''that courtship and marriage have ev-
cry thing in the world to do with the
way in which young man dresses him
self? My eldest son, Tom, is a good
boy. He always was, and I am con-
fident always will be. He never ran
wild, gambled or drank, and was al
ways dutiful and obedient. The only
thing I had against him was that he
was an awful dude, SO far as clothes
went. Extravaganza isn't the word to
describe his mode of dressing. 1t was
simply awful, but l never grumbled, be-
cause 1 thought as good boy as he was
entitled to one harmless weakness.
About a year ago 1 took Tom into my
Office at a liberal salary. Six months
ago he got married, and to-day he is no
more dude than you are. While he
was counting his sweet little wife his
extravaganza in clothes was redoubled.
He was the most splendid pocket edi-
ton OF full-length faSh1on-pIate you
ever saw in your life, but his mother
was proud of his appearance, and all I
could do was to occasionally guy
him bit and ask him to
lend me a quarter. Well, Tom
got married, and for couple of months
it was worse than ever. During his
honeymoon he had his dress suit on
every evening and changed his other
clothes two or three times day. The
rapidity with which married life cured
him of this was simply marvellous. To-
day he absolutely cares nothing about
clothes. He always looks decent, but he
is never seen with an outlandish hat or
a crease down the legs of his trousers.
What has accomplished the change 1 do
not know, but it is there. With my be-
loved son Tom in view, can only de-
clare it to be my unalterable opinion
that marriage is sure cure for dudes"

POOR BUT HONEST.

He Tried Hard to Keep His Promise, and
Nobody Kicked.
The other forenoon a young man with
a forlorn-looking countenance, and a
suit of clothes which seemed to have
run all together and consolidated to save
expense, mounted a salt barrel on the
sidewalk on Michigan avenue, and start
ed off with:
my dear friends, pause for moment
and hear my narrative. 1 am poor but
honest young man. My motto is Excel
sior.' My parents are dead and I am a
poor lone orphan"
He added considerable to the above,
and in few minutes he had crowd of
fifty people around him. Then he an
nounced:
''My dear friends, I do not ask for
charity. ALI I want is fair show to
make my way in life. / shall now ask
you to chip in a nickel apiece, and will
endeavor to do something never yet done
turn quadruple somersault in the air.
The crowd seemed to like the idea,
and the small change ratified in until the
gross amount was about three dollars.
The young man got down off the barrel,
spit on his hands, picked out his ground,
and turned pretty fair somersault. He
turned another and another and then re-
mounted the barrel and said:
s'Kind friends, have tried to, but L
can't do it. Assuring you of my heart
felt thanks for your kindness, remain
yours truly"
And not man uttered a word Of COM

HOW IT CAME ABOUT.

Tao grand old party organs now are trying to
explain
The many why's and wherefores o. defeat;
Meanwhile the very potent facts conclusiyely
remain
The landslide was most thorough and com
plete.
They'll talk Of fraud and bribery, of tricks and
counting out,
Repeating votes and all that sort Of stun,
But all well know the voters put their banded
hosts to rout
Because they didn't give them votes enough.
They'll say the Local Issues were not clearly
understood,
And try to patch up something to suffice
The farmer voters were at home, preparing
winter wood
While the Democrats in town all voted twice.
But the ancient ''off year, chestnut which they
now parade to view
Is the one with greatest pleasure they recall,
But the present indications are that eighteen
ninety-two
VIII be to them the ''oi ulest'' year of all.

up, counted, and examined again, cars
fully put up in packages of a thousand
sheets each, with slip between each
hundred sheets, tied up, and sent to the
Treasury. At the Treasury they are
counted as soon as they are received, the
seal is put on, the notes are separated,
put in packages of hundred each, and
are ready to start out on their career Of
adventure in the busy world.
Altogether they are counted some
thirty or forty times; each counted puts
private mark on every package that
passes through her hands, and the sys-
tenn is SO perfect that If an error is dis
covered it is matter of but a few min
utes to trace it.
The revenue stamps go through quite
as elaborate process, and are as care
fully counted as the money. Certain
kinds have to be gummed. On these the
mucilage is quickly spread with large
brush while they are in case that
holds the edges firmly, and are laid
singly on crates to dry. The perfora-
lions are made by machinery, similar to
the perforations in heets of postage
stamps.
All the money that is made in the
bureau, except the National bank-notes,
generally finds its way back to be ground
into pulp. In the basement there is a
great cylinder into which the redeemed
notes are put in the presence of a COM
mittee; there are three locks to this
cylinder, the keys held by different men,
and there is no danger of a single
dollar coming out whole after the keys
have been turned and the macerati
process begins. When the pulp is taken
out of the cylinder it is a dirty mass,
and is subjected to cleansing to get
the ink out of it. Then it is pressed
into thick sheets, dried, and sold to pa
permits, which use 1T in making a
coarse grade of paper. A small quantity
of it is used in making souvenirs of
Washington. In the basement is also
the laundry where the cloths that the
plate-printers use in wiping the plates
are washed. This washing is all done
by machinery, because the acids in the
inks eat the hands.
Before the employees leave this great
workshop in the evening, all the mon
eyS, unfinished and otherwise, and
stamps, etc., that have not been sent to
the Treasury are put in the money
vault, and all the pieces of engraved
steel used in printing notes, bonds and
stamps are placed in the plate-vault.
These vaults are burglar-proof and fire.
proof, and the doors have combina ton
and time-lockS, the secrets of which are
never known by one man. The engrav-
ers, and, I think, even the counters, are
supervised by special officers. With all
these safeguards it is no wonder that
there is nothing but CONSERVATION when
a successful robbery is perpetrated on

A Hundred Days Vengeance.

An Afghan correspondent sends to the
Civil and Military Gazette weird story
Of the Ameer's vengeance on his rebel
prisoners 1t appears that three hun
dred prisoners, under the charge of Jan
Mohamed Khan, Khaztnchi, have ar
rived from Turkestan at CabuL Three
of these were put to death each day.
One is hanged in yellow or green APP
pareI; one is dressed in black and blown
from a gun; and the third, who is put to
death by the sword, is given red clothes.
The executions will, we suppose, last
one hundred days. If the Afghan cor
respondent is to be trusted in this par
ticular, it would seem that the revolt in
Badakshan is not yet over; for we are
informed that Ghulam Haider Khan.
Orakzai, has been ordered by the Ameer
to hold himself in readiness 70 pro-
coed to Badakshan with two regiments
of infantry and one Of cavalry on receipt
Of second orders.

AN oLp-TuME QUILTING BEE.

Yes,we held grand reception and had every
thing in style,
with flowers everywhere and fruit as high az
could pile
The aristocracy was there, all gOrgeOusly mr.
rayed,
And every body acted just as if twas dress
parade.
Iuc:nda-She's my wife-appeared in dresses
rich and rare,
with furbelows and founces and with flowers
in her hair;
But somehow as looked at herI couldn't help
buC see
The scene when first met her at an old time
quilting bee.
How mem'ry will keep running back to other
Gays and scenes,
sometimes quite forget that part OF life
which intervenes
Between the years when all 1 owned was
youthful hope and health,
And later times which brought me more OF
worriment and wealth.
And so at the reception in the midst of beau
TVS glare,
Her face, though old and wrinkled, was the
sweetest picture there
The one whose smile of friendship has for
ever welcomed me
Lince first met her glances at an old-time
quilting bee.
In those days which we old folks call the
"happy long ago.
The girls would in the morning meet and
gaily chat and sew;
They'd keep it up till evening, when the
neghbor boys would come,
And hold party or a dance before they left
for home.
And when the quilt was finished then they'd
take the old house cat
And place it in the middle while they loudly
hOlloed "Scat"
The two the cat would jump between, twas
said that she and he
Would be the first to marry who were at the
quilting bee.
And so that night speak of when the quilt
ing all was done
The girls were eager then to see which way
the cat would run.
won't forget Lucinda as she stood there by
my side,
Nor how we blushed a crimson as they called
groom and bride.
I said it was an accident, and SO I've always
said,
But anyhow before the year had passed we
two were wed.
And to this very day there are no scenes so
fair to me
As mem'ries of that evening at an old time
quilting bee.

SCENES IN TOXIC.

The Motley Crowd to BE Seen on thu
Streets Of Japan's Capital.
The scenes upon the streets are as
mixed as the signs. American street
cars, drawn by scraggy Japanese horses,
trot by your jinrikisha pulled by bare
legged cody, and foreign carriages, with
coachman and footman in livery, dash by
rude ox-carts, the beasts of which, with
great straw mats stretched above them,
move lazily along, led by bowl-hatted
farmer dressed in blue japanese gown,
and wearing upon his feet sandals of the
same straw with which his OK is shod.
Here a gang of half-naked men push
great carts of merchandise through the
streets of the great city, and their
chorus of gruntS at each turn of the
wheels is broken in upon by the whistle
of the railroad locomotive at the sta
ton. On the sidewalks the MKT
ure grows worse than ever. The colors
of the clothes are as many as those OF
the coat of Joseph, and the blue-gowne1
man of old Japan, with his head shaved
at the top, and with the back hair done
up in a short door-knocker cue, walks
side by side with his almond-eyed
brother in modern clothes. The old
mans -mittened feet clatter along
on sandals, while those of his brother
creak in patent feathers. The European
outfit, however, of the younger brother
is often one of rare combinations.
