Baltimore's Exposition this

Baltimore's Exposition this week
was a great success, though the rain
interfered several times with the ex
erciSes. There were crowds in at
tendance, immense parades and dis
plays fine exhibitions of the trades
the military and labor organizations;
speeches by eminent men. the dedica
ton of the magnificent new post
office building, and a grand time all
around. President Harrison and
many prominent public men were
there.

PROTECTION AND THE C0NSTITU.
TON.

The average free-trade preacher
has a magazine of invective ready to
launch against the policy of Protec-
ton to Home Industries whenever
occasion may require. Not content
with results when discussion is con-
fined to the expediency of the protec.
tive policy, its opponents speedily re.
sort to denunciation, in the course OF
which the listener is soon confronted
with the assertion that Protection is
unconstitutional. This plea, CON-
paratively modern one-never hav.
ing been made during the lifetime of
the trainers of the Constitutional
sustained, would insure the triumph
of the tree.trade policy, and would
seem to afford the readiest mode of
attack open to the tariff reformer.
Why has the power of Congress to
enact laws for the defense and build
ing up of domestic industries not
been assailed in the practical man.
ner here indicated, if the men who
oppose that policy believe what they
preach to others? Almost daily,
questions are arising under the en-
forcement of our tariff laws, largely
the outgrowth of attempts by practi-
cal free traders to evade the pay

products. Every conceivable device
has been employed to avoid payment

The Best ADVERTISING

The most efficient advertising in be-
half of Hoods Sarsaparilla is that which
comes from the medicine itself. Thai
is. those who are cured by it, speak tc
friends suffering similarly, who in turn
derive benefit and urge others to try this
successful medicine. Thus the circle OF
its popularity is rapidly widening from
this cause alone, and more and more are
becoming enthusiastic in behalf of Hood Z
Sarsaparilla as it actually demonstrates
its absolute merit. All that is asked for
Hoods Sarsaparilla is that it be given a
fair trial. If you need a good blood
purifier, or building up medicine, try
Hood 3 Sarsaparilla.

A Good Appetite

Is essential to good health but at this
season it is often lost. owing to the pow
erty or impurity of the blood, derange-

digestion, and giving strength to the
whole system. Now is the time to take
it. Be sure to get Hood 3 Sarsaparilla.

Manufacturing Jewels.

Some of the most singular processes
appear to be in vogue at Oberstein,
Germany, where the industry of manu-
featuring jewels is so largely carried
on. Chalcedony is the usual base of
false onyxes and agates, which are
most frequently initiated, the stones in
this case being boiled in the coloring
matter and then subjected to intense
heat, the color permeating the whole
stone. One establishment possesses
the secret of converting crocidolite into
"cat's eyes" Gypsum and hornblende
are also made into the same gems.
Ticons, which are cheap stones of sill
icon and zirconia, have the color
washed out, and are apparently dia-
monds until tested; thin slice of dia-
mond is laid over topaz, so that the
whole appears to be one gem; emeralds
are easily initiated; many stones sold
as rubies are only red spinel, and much
of what is termed lapis lazuli is only
dyed chalcedony. Manufacturer.

ELoRA,s DOG.

His Obstinaey, Mischievousness. Peni-
tence and Final Obedience-Ths silly
Kitten.
Flora has a dog named Mac, who,
though he is not beautiful is very
bright, and does some funny things.
He knows number of tricks, and will
sneeze when Flora tells him to.
One day Flora tried to teach him to
stand upon his hind legs in a corner of
the room. But Mac is a dog of decided
opinions, and she soon saw that he
had made up his mind that such
thing was not to be thought of. When
she would set him up he would make
himself perfectly limp, and would
topple over on to the floor. Flora
scolded, coaxed and commanded; but
Mac would not sit up, and at last 1t
had to be given up.
About year after that, Flora came
into the room one day, and found her
best bonnet, which always hung in the
hall closet, dragged to the floor and
chewed to rags. Looking around she
saw Mac lying under the sofa, pre-
tending to be asleep. She knew at
once that he was the culprit, and
called him to her; but his tail
dropped, and he skunk to the other
end of the room.
''Mac, did you do that?"
Mac closed his eyes, and feebly
wagged his tail.
Come here, you bad dOg!"
Mac knew he was about to be pun
ished. He glanced wildly from the
torn bonnet to Flora's face. Then, as
the summons was repeated, he rushed
to the corner where she had tried to
teach him to sit. and stood straight up
begging so pitifully that his little mis-
tress couldn't punish him. ''Well.
you're sorry, aren't you, Mac?" was all
she said.
Mac was very fond of our kittens.
There was one that was his tavOrite, a
silly little thing that often came to
grief by following people down the
street, and then losing its way One
day Mac and this kitten were sun
ming on the front porch, when the kit
ten started off after some ladies that
passed the house. Mac watched her
until she came to the crossing. Then
she stopped and began to cry. After
watching her a minute, Mac got up
and started towards her. When he
reached her the kitten was running
around not knowing which way to go.
When she saw Mac she trOtted towards
him, and he took her in his mouth
and trotted home with her, carrying
her up the steps to the porch, where
he put her down.-Our Little Mem and

LUCKY INVENTORS.
Fortunes That Have Been Realized from
the Sale of Trifles.

Fortunes That Have Been Realized from
the Sale of Trifes.
The rubber tip at the end of lead
pencils has yielded 10000 pounds. A
large fortune has been reaped by a
miner who invented a metal rivet or
eyelet at each end of the mouth of coat
and trousers pockets to resist the strain
caused by the carriage of pieces of ore
and heavy tools. In a recent legal ac-
ton it transpired in evidence that the
inventor of the metal plates used to
protect soles and heels of boots from
wear sold upward of 100000 plates
in 1879, and in 1887 the number reached
49, 100000, producing realized profits
of quarter of million of money.
AS large a sum as was ever obtained
for any invention was enjoyed by the
inventor of the inverted glass bell to
hang over gas to protect ceilings from
being blackened, and a scarcely less
lucrative patent was that for simply
putting emery powder on cloth. Ere
quently time and circumstances are
wanted before an invention is appre-
ciated, but it will be seen that patience
is we'll rewarded, for the inventor OF
the roller skate made over 200, 600,
pounds, Notwithstanding the fact that
his patent had nearly expired before
its value was ascertained. The gimlet-
pointed screw has produced mora
wealth than most silver mines and the
American who first thought of putting
copper tips to children's shoes is as
well off as if his father had left him
10000 pounds in United States bonds.
Upward of 1000 pounds year was
made by the inventor of the common
needle threader To the foregoing
might be added thousands of trifing
but useful articles from which hand
some incomes are derived, or for which
large sums have been paid. Few in
ventions pay better than popular pat
ented toys. A clergyman realized 100
pounds week by the invention of a
strange little plaything to be seen
for a long time in every toy
shop window, and even in the
streets of London. That favor
ite American toy, the ''return balr'--a
wooden ball with an elastic attached
yielded the patentee an income equal
to 10000 pounds year, and an income
of no less than $4,000 pounds per an
mum to the inventor of the dancing
Jim Crow" The invention of '.Pha-
raoh's serpents," toy much in vogue
some years ago, was the outcome
of some chemical experiments and
brought the inventor more than 10000
pounds. The sale of the little wooden
figure, John Gilpin," was incredibly
large for many years; and very in
genious toy, known as the wheel of
life" is said to have produced upward
of 100, 900 pounds profit to iUs inventor.
The field of invention is not only vast
and varied, but it is open to every
body without respect to sex or age,
station or means, s,-lnVention.

A NOVEL INDUSTRY.
An Enterprising Farmer Embarks in the
Culture of Skunks.

An Enterprising Farmer Embarks in the
Culture of Skunks.
The latest thing out in the way of a
business venture is skunk-culture, if it
may be so styled. At first it has the
appearance of joke, but it is nothing
Of the kind, as may be seen further on
Having heard that something of the
kind existed in this vicinity, the re-
porter set out to investigate the mat
ter, and, although skeptical at first,
soon found there was something in
it"
The owner and proprietor of this
skunk ranch, is Joseph Lininger, re-
siding two and half miles north of
this city, on the Mishler road. In an
interview with him he said that the
way he came to give such thing any
attention was knowledge that man
in Tennessee had successfully conduct
ed such an enterprise for several years
and became rich as a result. The
skunk is an animal easily raised and is
quite valuable for its oil and fur. The
skin is worth from IS cents to $1.50
and the yield of oil is about the same
value They have from six to ten
young at a time, and breed several
times in season, the same
as rabbits. Mr.. Lininger estab-
lished his "skunkery'' in the spring
with only few animals, and now, in
so short time, there are fifty in the
corral. 81 set out" said he, ''tO raise
500 before slaughtering any, and at the
present rate it will not be long before
that number is realized" "How about
the odor?" we asked. ''None what
ever. You can go right to the corral,
and l defy you to tell by the odor that
there is a skunk in the neighborhood. "
1t seems that they never eject the acrid
and offensive fluid except as a means
of defense, and if not molested there is
no danger. Besides" said he, lit is
an easy matter, when kittens, to re-
move from them the glands containing
the offensive secretions, and thus dis
arm them for life. "-Huntington llnd.)

COMMON POLITENESS.
1t Costs Nothing, and Is Always Received
Gratefully by Every Body.

1t Costs Nothing, and Is Always Received
Gratefully by Every Body.
Common politeness is very simple,
very easy, very cheap. 1t costs moth
ing in effort; it is no tax upon either
the physical or mental powers; it is
always gratefully received by polite
people, and it gratifies giver as well as
receiver, 1t makes all within the
range of its influence happier and bet
ter, and it smooths many of the rough
er paths of life.
Many intelligent and well-bred peo-
pie are often uncivil for want of
thoughtfulness, and they sometimes
give good reason for offense, or for the
assumption that they are uncivil, when
they do not mean to be guilty of such
an offense. Such persons are usually
understood and excused by their inti-
mate acquaintance; but it is mis-
fortune to yield to the habit of even
apparent rudeness. 1t often grieves
people whose respect is valuable, and
it never accompliShes any good.
The gravest complaints about in
civility often come against those who
assume to be eXemplars of society and
good manners, and they are only too
often just. So common is it for lady
to refuse the acknowledgment of the
courtesy extended when a gentleman
gives his seat to lady in a street car
that many gentlemen have abandoned
that particular act of civility, except
in cases where they know the lady,
and they certainly have great provoca-
tiOn.
1t is not at all rare to see ladies of
social distinction accept seat from
a gentleman without the semblance of
acknowledgment, and in all such
cases the gentleman must feel like re-
senting the objectionable rudeness,
for it is not simply a want of civilty, it
is the positive rudeness that can be as
sOciated only with vulgarity. No true
lady ever committed such breach of
common politeness. and it is only just
to say that, as a rule, only those who
pose as ladies ever commit such fla
grant offenses against good breeding.
The true lady or gentleman never
forgets common politeness to all with
whom they come in contact, and the
surest sign of the social pretender is
displayed in public incivility to others.
The genuine lady or gentleman is
always so we'll assured of her or his
position that they dignity it by courtesy
to others who merit it, regardless of
condition or circumstance, while the
upstart, uncertain of position, repeats
upon others the snubs he or she has
received in the effort to climb into
social recognition.
The true lady and gentleman are
ever polite and courteous to all when
those admirable qualities can be ex-
hibited, and when those attributes are
not exhibited on all proper occasions,
it is always safe to assume that vul-
garity is masquerading in the thin
guise of the gentleness that ever marks
the lady and the gentleman.-Phi
