Is not less the victim of the steel trust,
the barbed-wire trust, the oil trust
the impending salt trust, the coal ring
and the rest of the robbers who are en-
trenched behind our blessed high-tariff
wall, but he is used to their exactions
and rather likes them; in fact, he
doesn't see how his grain could grow
and his focks multiply without the
glorious stimulus of protection to the
infant industries OF Pennsylvania. But
this Irvine trust in some mysterious
way has chafed his sensibilities; it has
CALLED him until he winces; it has got
him as mad as wet hen, and he is
indignating and resoluting with fire
and q copiousness which show that his
spirit is not wholly broken, however
much it may have been cowed by long
standing abuses not the less effective
because they were unperceived by the
deluded victim. For wonder he has
discovered that higl,-priccd Irvine
doesn't mean high-priced wheat;
no, not by jugful. He might have
found out some time ago, if he had
pleased to inquire, that high-priced
lumber, iron, steel, woolens add cot
:. were equally Intellectual in MAX
ing high priced grain, but he has been
so busy preserving his country from
the hated rebel and the accused Brit
Usher that he really hasn't time to ex
anime the facts. He has just voted to
keep up his 'home market and to
''enable" Mr.. Carnegie to pay high
wages, sweetly trustful in the gilded
promises of the prophets OF high taxes.
1t is a hopeful sign that he has at last

They have just discovered that
trusts are the outgrowth of high

detrimental to their interest.

Europe. These surprised him beyond
measure Thus the notion of husband
and wife walking arm in arm in public

a husband may perform any mental
task in his wife's presence, yet no one
will laugh at him. Then, again, the
notion OF men standing aside to let u
woman pass, and the code of politeness
which requires men to make way for
woman, are to him ihcomprehensible.
In China when the men are gorged
he women dine off the scraps. but in
Che West "at meal-time the men must
wait until the women are seated, and
then take one after another their
places, and the same rule must be OBJ
served when the meal is finished"
Western women have curious notions
about dress and appearance. They
set store by large bust and slender
waist, but while the waist can be COM
pressed, the bust can not naturally be
enlarged; the majority have a wicker
continuance made which is con-
cealed under the bodice on either
side, and is considered an adorn-
ment If woman is short
sighted, she will publicly mount spec
tacles. Even young girls in their
teens pass thus along the streets,
and it is not regarded as strange"
AS for low dresses, he observes
in bewilderment that women going
to court regard bare skin as a mark
of respect. He is greatly exercised
how to describe kissing; the thing or
word does not exist among Chinese.
and accordingly he is driven to describe
it. 1T is" he says, "a form of cour-

Female Farmers.

Will the coming young woman be
farmer!
Scattered over all the broad prairies Of
the Northwest arc hundreds of self-reliant,
true blue young herones, living in small,
isolated cabins called shacks, proving up
claims, entering homesteads and making
money.
1t is lonesome, dreary business, this liv-
ing alone on wild, unsettled prairie, with
out face or human form to welcome one or
cheer ones sonJude, but there seems to be
good many young women who have the
grit to hang to this solitary life long
enough to prove up a claim at least.
Four young ladies in Dakota last year put
their heads together and hit upon an ingen-
ious plan, whereby they could each secure
claim and yet all live comfortably together
in one house and each be upon her own land.
Instead of building four shacks with one
room each, they constructed one shack with
four rooms, but so nicely planned that each
room of the square building was on differ
ent quarter section. Each had her own bed
in her own room and in that way each claim
ant at night slept upon her own land.
Society ladies Of the city will wonder, not
so much how these young lady settlers got
along without social privileges, as how they
dared live so far away from the doctors.
Why, bless you they never thought OF be-
ing sick. Doctors are not half SO much of
household necessity as city people are in the
habit of thinking.
For all the ordinary ills Of life, the old
fashioned roots and herbs remedies are
more effective, and much safer in results,
than modern doctors pills and potions.
These latter are so radical in their effects
that, while they may better meet the
modern desire for quick results, they
frequently permanently injure the system,
nature rebelling against the unnatural
methods employed.
1t is always safest to follow natural
methods in treating disease. The old time
roots and herbs remedies, which our good
old log-cabln grandmothers knew so well
how to prepare, were the best medicines
the world ever knew, because they were
natures remedies.
The modern world needs them. In War
ners Log Cabin Remedies, and especially
such as Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla
and Warmers Log Cabin Cough and Con-
sumption Remedy, the people of to-day
have an opportunity to secure the healthy
medicines which our rugged ancestors used
with such splendid results.

 NIT. FOote-Love and Affection.
 Although a verdict was rendered in the Card-Foote case in the Superior court yes- terday afternoon for the plaintiff to recover $4, 200. .S6, the case is not finished yet. Mrs. Lama L. Foote, wife of Enos Foote. the de- fendant in the first suit, has decided to take hand in the pie.
 The jury had just decided for Mrs. Card, and with smile and toss of the head she had left her counsel, Attorney Hamilton,
 when she was met at the head of the stairs leading to the court room by Deputy Sheriff Catlin. He told her he wonld trouble her to
 wait moment, and then handed her @ paper.
 It was very mysterious proceeding to
 the writing on the outside, and then with her
 oloved hands nonchalently unfolded it.
 When she had finished reading she looked at
 the deputy sheriff and gave @ hearty, dash
 ing laugh, which rang thro ughout the corri- dor.
 The paper was writ of attachment on Mrs. Cards judgment of $4,20o.S6 and on some of her property, as Mrs. Foote had brought suit against her to recover $10,000. The plaintiff claims that in 1872, and for years previous thereto, she had been living happily with her husband, but in that year the defendant, Mir. Card, came to New Ha- ven, and by her arts of blandishments and seduction alienated the love and affection ot her husband.
 The plaintiff also states in the writ that at various times between 1872 and 1888 Mrs. Card committed adultery with the plaintiffs husband and obtained large sums of money from him. She says she suffered great dis tress of mind over this lost love and affec- ton of her husband.
 ! Mrs. Card had no sooner read the writ than she tripped lightly back into the court room and handed it over to her counsel, who ! were just starting another trial. The case is 8 most peculiar one, and Judge Andrews says it is the first of the kind ever brought in this State.
 Mrs. Foote's lawyer is Charles H. Fowler ! Attorney Charles H. Hamilton, who is one of Mrs. Cards counsel, laughed when asked about the suit last night. He said it was toe | Imaginable for really serious consideration. He couldn't see what Mrs. Foote hoped to gain by any such actions. Her object, he said, is probably to annoy Mrs. Card and cause her ali the trouble she can. The case is returnable to the Superior court the first Tuesday in March.
