A Singular Community.

The valley of Gressoney is one Of the
most beautiful localities in the Italian
Alps. 1t also has curious history. In
the Eleventh century it was colonized by
German soldiers, to whom it had been
given by King Otto in recognition of
their valiant services to him. The de.
scendants Of these soldiers, though in a
strange land, have stuck fast to their
German traditions. They still speak
German and keep up the closest connec-
ton with Germany, which they consider
their fatherland. Their daughters are
educated in the best German schools and
seminaries. When the young women
come home from the big cities of the
north, however, they are compelled by
their parents to lay aside their fine Ber-
lin and Frankfort garments to don the
curious customs of their forefathers, and
to learn to bake, and scrub, and wash as
their mothers and grandmothers did be-
fore them. The cleanliness of the
"Gressonari" has made them famous
throughout Italy. It is a proverb that
their barns are cleaner than other peo-
pies houses. German is spoken in the
family, French In the churches, and
Italian in the schools. Consequently all
the Gressonari know at least three Ian
guages.-New York Sun.

Terrible Asian Heat.

The horror of the heat is unknown to
us, or indeed to any part of Europe,
though Naples and Athens are desper-
ately trying sometimes. But to the ma
tive Of Scinde, Central Asia, the shores of
the Persian gulf, the sun Of Greece is but
trif1e. The utter helplessness of man
under this infection adds horror to his
sufferings.
There is no hope and no resource when
the red hot air penetrates to those under
ground chambers in which the summer
is passed in Central Asia. "The inhabi-
tants," we learn, ''are shutting them
selves up to escape"-probably closing
all the apertures Of their subterranean
abodes, except those absolutely necessary
for ventilation. The air down below,
under such circumstances, cannot be
imagined by one who has not a touch Of
experience. Houses of good class are
solidly constructed under ground, with
chambers and doors and corridors, but
the mass Of the people inhabit big holes,
rooted over, with no kind of permanent
convenience. Every winter the frost and
snow and rain play mischief with these
rough pits, and the damage is not always,
nor often, repaired by the following sum-
mer. Fancy thousands of Mongols in
these dens, pursuing their filthy habits In
semi-darkness, suffering the awful tor
ment of heat, children wailing, adults
raving, always in want Of water and gen.
orally of food, in an atmosphere beyond
conceiving.-London Standard.

Vermont, some Years ago entered Bos.

he said, and boasted of his strength.
"Stout as you are" said one of the
clerks, "I'll give you ten dollars if you
will carry that bag Of salt twice across
the store and never lay it down."
The Vermonter stood for a moment,
thoughtfully eying the bag, and then
shouldered it easily enough, carried it
twice backward and forward, walked up
to rope with hook at its end, which
hung through a scuttle, and hung the
bag on the hook.
"Mister," said he, 81 guess I'll trouble
you for that air ten. I didn't lay it
down. hung it up!"
The clerk rather unwillingly Joined in
the laugh which followed, and handed
over the ten dollars.
"That's better than chopping logs"
the young man remarked, as he deposited
the money in his wallet. Youths COM

Partisan Barber Shops,

| Long ago a royal decree compelled
BARRIERS and hairdressers to hang at their
door white basin, so as to distinguish
them from surgeons, who sheltered
themselves behind copper basin, and
these basins are still used for sign pur-
poses.
They are Of oval shape, and small
piece is Clipped out at ,one end. This is
Intended to show that Hhe basin will fit
the neck under the chin.
But nowadays there are no such basins
inside French BARRIERS shops. You must
wash the lather off your own face when
Figaro has finished shaving and cutting
you. Then, if you want your hair
dressed, you get back into the chair
and such uncomfortable chairs as they
are too-again, and the fellow recon-
mences.
There are some hairdressers who are
not BARRIERS, but all BARRIERS are hair
dressers, and most Of them are also wig
makers. They put some very queer
signs over their shop doors sometimes.
There is one old man up by the College
of France who has an oil painting out
side his premises which represents Absa-
lom hanging by his hair to large tree
while his horse is galloping away in the
distance, and below the following words
are written: eff he had worn one Of our
wigs this misfortune would not have
happened him."

We do not argue that the tariff causes
this low and dropping condition of the
farmer g produce, for it is owing to other
causes, but what we point out is that our
present tariff does not help the farmer at
all, and it cannot help him while he has to
seek a foreign market to sell his surplus
products. The people who sell raw mater
ial to foreign country will be poor. This
is the basic principal of the American
SYSTEM" of which Hrnsy Clay was the
great apostle, and the strongest point in his
| argument was that the farmer must have a
home market for his products, and when
the manufacturer has worked the farmers
raw material iuto manufactured goods which
must find purchasers in every market of the
world, then the farmer becomes partici-
pant and beneficiary of a protect We tariff.
In place Of this he has become the victim
Of trusts, monopolies and combinations who
are intent, not in extentending and enlarg-
manufacturing industries, but in restricting
the amount Of produce 10 the demands at
home and choking to death all competition.
The grand "American System" which was
Illuminated by the genius Of Henry Clay
has been turned from its purpose to serve
the soulless greed Of monopoly.
The corn laws Of England helped the
English farmer. but they we're an injury
to the manufacturer and were repealed.
They made food dear, and it required more
of the Profits of the manufacturer and ship
per to pay for the operatives food. 1t must
be remembered that the food of the workers
is as much raw material as the ore, fax,
cotton, etc., they fashion into fabrics.
When the English got our raw material in
the shape of food products and cotton and
her surplus wool from South America,
Australia and other lands, and opened a
market for her goods in India of $50 mil
lion consumers she began to ride roughshod
over the world. And when we gave her
our silver as raw material her triumph
was complete. We have to get back to a
true American SYSTEM" from which we
have strayed to plutocracy, monopoly and
trust system, which is making our farmers
mere bread and meat producers for money
ed aristocracy, and the lower they can force
the price of food, the lower they can secure
workmen and work women, and the greater
the profits they make under the protecting
hand of the government
The English are not slow 10 see the great
advantages our government is holding out
to capital while discriminating against
labor, and they are hocking here and buy
ing up factories, mills, breweries, mines,
ETC., by millions. They have invested a.
million dollars in breweries alone. And
Herr Krupp of Germany is about to estab-
lish branch Of his big gun and iron works
in this country ii is stated.
The gold ring, the manufacturers' ring,
the transportation railroad ring and the
whiskey and beer rings, have filled Congress
with their attorneys and the farmer like his
typical pig is left to suck the hind teat.
How long, oh how Ions will the four and
half million farmers allow this condition If
affairs to last, and the office hunting. pol
ltician to pull the wool over his eyes by
telling them lies about tariffs?
