AIden's Manifold Cyctopedia.

Careful examination shows that in mapy
respects this remarkable wo-k Is superior to
any of its competitors, especially In its adap-
ton to popular use; its combination of an
| unabridged dictionary with the ordinary
features of a cyclopedia of universal knowl-
edge is unique. The definitions ana pro-
nunciation of the words are clear and accu-
rate, the illustrations are excellent. the
topics are thoroughly treated and embrace
the results of the most recent Investigation
and discoveries. Then, too, the extremely
low price places it within the reach of all.
The eighteenth volume is fully up to the
high water mark Of its predecessors. 1t is
especially rich in its biographies. We find
sketches of Hall and Hayes, the Arctic ex-
plorers; John Hall and Robert Hall, cele-
brated clergymen; Hallam and Herodotus,
great historians; taller, the philologist;
Alexander Hamilton, the statesman, and Sir
William Hamilton, the scientist; Handel and
Hadyn, the musical composers; Hannibal,
the foe OF Rome: Hegel, the philosopher;
Heine, the poet, and Hengstenberg, the
theoogian: Herschel, the astronomer, and
many other men of renown. Among im-
portant articles in other lines are Hallucin-
alton; hand; Hanseatic League, the famous
trade union Of the Middle Ages; Harbor;
Hartford Convention, unique and famous in
our political history; Harvard University;
Hay;' Hayti; Heat; Heart; Heaven; ,HelIs
Heredity; Heresy; aud Hieroglyphics. The
forty volumesiin which this great work win

"Party Foot Balls"

The woollen manufacturers whose
executive committee is in session at
Boston have adopted a serious of reso-
lutions fulsef the most ludicrous in
constituencies. They say that the car
pet business would be ruined by higher
taxes and they demand free trade in
carpet wools as right. Equally as q
right, they demand higher, or as they
express it, "eompensating" taxes ON
their products.
This sort Of political economy will
not do ar all. The maxim of the Ohio
school is that "what is sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander, !" and the
Republican party can no more help ap-
plying this rule to raising taxation than
the Democratic party can help cutting
taxes when it gets the opportunity.
The manufacturers declare that they
will not be fused as foot ball between
the parties," but they cannot help it as
long as they insist on their present de-
mands. they demand taxes on other
people for their benefit they must sub
init to taxes on them for other peoples
benefit. This is, in fact, the theory
they indorse when they use tn phrase
"compensatiug duty" They deny
that the tax on their products compen-
satys them for the tax they pay on raw
wool. They want the tax on their pro-
duct raised and the tax on their mate
rial lowered. but the Protectionists of
Ohio have the logic of the unjust and
runious system on their side in demand
ing higher taxes OH raw wool. If any,
one has o right to have taxes imposed
on the people for his profit, surely no
one has that right more than the pro-
ducer OF raw wool. Consistency re-
quires the Republican party to raise
this tax every time demand is made

turers make themselves q partvk =

Gus folly. they reap what they have.
sown in the shape of staguation, loss
aad bankruptcy. From the Democrats
ic party they can expect justice which
will remove from trade every tax rot
absolutely reduired to maintain the
government. From the Republican
party they have o-hing to expect but
fraudulent jugglery of compensatory
protectionn which seeks to rob them
for the benefit Of Mr.. Columbus Dela-
nos Sheep Association, and 10 rob the
consumer for the benefit CT both. That
system Is running WOODEN manufactur-
ing. AS long as it continues, wooleu
factories will continue to shut down.
But. even here there is "compensa-

ing made party foot balln have leis-
ure thus given them for reflection on

SIGNS of the Times.

II is said that there is no surer test Of
hard times than can be found in the adj
vertisements of the newspapers. When
the columns are filed with advertise
ments offering expensive articles for sale
1t is to be considered ominous, because
the rich are the first to feel the pressure
and begin retrenchment by getting rid Of
some of their luxuries. II there is any
thing IN this rule. hard times are in the
neal future, for the papers during the
past two or three weeks have been liter
ally crowded with the offers of gentle
men who are in apparent distress and are
offering dog carts, broughams, victorias,
horses and all the other accessories of
private stables. as well as bronzes and
bits of bric-a-brac, to the highest bidder.
1t does not SEEM, from casual observa-
ton, that anybody in New York can be
very hard pushed for money. The dis
play which is made in the streets and at
the theatre indicates boundless wealth.
Wall street, however, shows some signs
of distress. Money has been very tight
during the past three months. A few
days ago it had got up to 10 per cent.
though in the early part of the summer.
and when business is usually supposed to
be stagnant, 2 and 4 per cent. ruled
easily.-Once a Week.

"A marriage which was to have taken
place at Campden the other night, was
interrupted in an unexpected way. The
contracting parties, Henry Brown and
Miss Mary Morgan, stood before Rev. Mr..
Clayton. preparatory to becoming man
and wife. A portion of the service had
been already read, about ifty witnesses
being present. when the bride uttered a
loud scream. All eyes were Immediately
fixed upon her. She was sesn 70 raise
her hind and point toward q corner OF
the church. The next moment she fell
on the floor In a swoon and had to be
carried out. Physicians worked with
her for nearly an hour before she was
restored to consciousness. When fully
recovered she gave a curious explanation
Of her conduct Her mother, who died
four months ago. was opposed TO her
marriage with Brown. The marriage
was for . time delayed. but after Mrs.
Morgan's death arrangements forit were
pushed. Miss Morgan says that just
when she was about to pronounce the
binding words she raised her eyes and
raw her mothers ghost; then she tainted.

days.-New York Journal.

Everybody who travels on the Pitts.
burg division of the Pennsy ivania rail
road knows Conductor John Dinges.
He is one of the greatest jokegs in the
service, and when not punching tickets
is busy telling stories or perpetrating a
joke. Conductor Dinges' ears are his.
torical- They are remarkable. not for
their size. but for their wonderful pill
ability. His favorite trick is to double
up his ears and then stuff them far into
the orifce. This makes them look as ii
they had been mashed with a crowbar.
The other night. while the train was
speeding along toward Altoona at the
rate Of ffty-ivc miles an hour, Dinges
doubled his ears and passed through the
fourth car. Nearly all the passengers
were ladies. They regarded Dinges with
amazement. The conductors face wore
a look Of superb unconsciousness. One
old lady with iron-gray curis and a pug
nose could not take her eyes from the
ears. When Dinges passed through the
car again her curiosity was 40 great that
she could not resist the temptation to
stop him.
whats the matter with your ears,
conductor she asked.
"Nothing, he replied, innocently, as ne
elevated his eyebrows. and the ears flew
back II their normal position.
The old lady nearly fainted.-Philar

A Little BIT of Altruism Has Power to
Bestow Unpurchasable Happiness.

BestoW GupurCuacaDio happiness
An organization has recently been
formed in this country, formed Of men
and wonen-the latter preponderating-
whose motive and creed are as simple as
they are lofty. To become a member and
subscribe to the tenets of this organiza-
zion, it is necessary to agree to n thing,
TO be pledged to one act. II is that each
member shall. each and every day of his
life, perform at least one act for the good
Of a fellow being.
In this age Of selfshness It Is refresh
ing to learn that an assemhlage Of hui
man beings a be found whose watch
word is altruism, and who bind them
selves to forget self at least once every
twenty-four hours. The age in which
we live seems one in which the plant I'M
selfishness finds a poor soil indeed. 1t
grows sporadically, not generally, and is
And yet the need of altruism, of self for
getting, is more widespread every year.
The rich grow richer, and, vice versa,
the poor grow poorer. Selishness. on
the one hand, and sorrow on the other
are growing quantities. Amy measure
that will lead toward warming into life
the chilling embers of altruism must
have the sanction and support of all
right minded men and women. 1t is a
small thing, indeed, to devote one inn
pulse. one act each day. to the tightening
Of some other mortal's life burdens. OPP
portunities offer to all of US &C home and
la the hustle and whirl of business life.
There are heavy hearts all about us
that w may make brighter: there are
gloom and despair, and there are ''gray
days" that we can render more endura-
BILE by the sunshine of a kindly deed or
sincerely spoken words. 1t Is not neces-
sary to bear the badge of the Red Cross
society to bind upthe wounded or allevi-
ate pain. The keenest hurts do no flow
blood. and the sorest bruises are not
those of the flesh. They can be reached
and cured by the exercise Of the divine
qualities of sympathy and unselfshness,
and can be healed by those that never
graduated in a school for trained nurses.
In every eighteen hours of waking life
there are at least as many opportunities
for the display of a practical, unostenta-
tious bit of unselfishness that will make
the recipient happier and the bestower
happy as well. The organization re-
ferred TO is one that should find encour-
agement from all that can realize what
it is to be poor and friendless and hope
less. And even il they can not, it will
at least be possible to give intelligent
sympathy, to perform a small act of
( pure unseliishness for the mere pleasure
which such doing confers. They will
find that a little bit of altruism has pow
er to bestow a happiness not purchasable
and a delight beyond the scope of a
bank note or a check to bestow. The
sum of human happiness is not so great
that individuals may not add thereto,
and il is far easier TO do this than most
people imagine. -Pittsburg Bulletin.

An Effort Made to Secure Government Help
for the Canal.
PARIS, March I'm the Chamber of
Deputies to-day NJ. Villain urged that the
canal scheme should not be abandoned, and
that meeting of the shareholders of the
company should be convened for the pur-
pose of discussing means for the continua-
tion of work on the canal. NJ. Villain said
that if the savings of France were INSULT
cient to build the canal assistance should be
invoked from other countries. He suggest
ed that an international conference of engi-
neers be summoned. He moved an order of
the day appealing to the Government to
safeguard the interests of the shareholders.
NJ. Bouvier, Minister of Finance, dis
claimed any responsibility on the part of
the Government. He said the Government
had no means of interfering, although it
approved of every effort made by capitalists
and companies to prevent the collapse of
the undertaking. Prime Minister Tirard,
replying to NJ. De Cassagnac, said the Gov
ernment would do its utmost for the success
of the canal, but he could say no more.
