THE TARIFF ACT.

lar interest
THE TARIFF ACT.
The President then discusses the
tariff act. He says the act has only
partially gone into operation and its
permanent effects on trade and prices
are still largely conjectural. He says
it is curious to note that the advance
in prices of articles wholly unaffected
by the tariff act was by many hastily
ascribed to this cause. Notice was
not taken of the fact that the general
tendency of the markets was upwards
from influences wholly apart from the
recent tariff legislation. The enlarge.
ment of our currency by the silver
bill undoubtedly gave an upward
tendency to trade and had a marked
effect on prices; but this natural and
desired effect of the silver legislation
was by many enormously attributed
to the tariff act. No tariff bill was
ever framed that, in all respects, had
the full approval even of a party cau~
Gus. The present law is no eXcep-
ton, but in its general scope, it is be-
lieved, will justify the support of
those who believe that American
legislation should conserve and de-
fend American trade and the wages
of American workmen. MisinfOrma-
ton as to the terms of the act has
been widely disseminated at home
and abroad, but this will be corrected
in time. The criticisms of the bill
which come from foreign sources may
we'll be rejected for repugnancy. Our
policies are not adopted for the hurt
of others, but to secure for ourselves
those advantages that fairly grow out
of our favored position as a Nation,
The President proceeds to argue that
we are under no disadvantage in any
foreign market except that we pay
our wOrkmen better wages than are
paid elsewhere. He says the recipro'
city clause in the tariff act effectually
opens a way to large reciprocal trade
in exchange for the free admission tC
our ports of certain products. The
President thinks that the indications
thus far given are hopeful of salts
factory and advantageous reciprocal
relations.
FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.
The President enters at some length
upon the subject of "free and homes
elections" He says there is a grow
lug demand for better election laws
but against this sign of hope must b,
set the fact that election laws art
sometimes cunningly contrived to Sc
cure minority control. He says: II

AtUxURlOUS SHAVE.
How q Tonsorial Artist Plies the Razor and
Its Accompaniments.

You are ensconeed in chair of
luxurious comfort, which allows you
to recline at any angle and in any
position, says the Washington Post.
The professional man, who is your
slave for the time being-just as the
president is the servant of the people
goes over your mobile countenance
with soft, moist sponge. This re-
moves the carbon, gravel, railroad
iron, and unconsumed food of twenty
four hours sojourn in q railway car
from your features. He next treats
you to thin layer of hot lather, and
apologetically sponges it off. as it were
put on by mistake, but it isn't; it is q
part of the program. Next he puts on
a heavier coat of lather, which he
presses down into the roots of the
stubble with soft magnetic fingers.
This lather, too, is removed and the
third course placed on. Then each in
diyidual hair, which once did stand on
end like quills upon fretful porcupine,
becomes soft and pliable.
The artist now carefully removes
from its case broad-bladed razor,
with double concave. so thin that it
sings as he strops it. He brings it ont
with an air which makes you think that
razor never touched any face below the

Bumb1ethorpe and the Bull.

Gen. Bumblethorpe is certainly q
very big man-big in statue and big
ger still in his own conceit, Drumming
over, as he constantly is, with his own
Importance, says the Boston Transcript.
Gen. Bumblethorpe was never in the
army; he never was even in the militia.
But he was surveyor-general once, a
good while ago, and has of course worn
the title of general ever since, and has
always insisted upon it, He has been
a shade more overbearing since he be-
came general in this way, though he
was sufficiently oyerbearing before
that.
One fine afternoon last summer Gen.
Bumblethorpe was taking walk
through the outskirts of the country
town which. he had honored by choos-
ing it as his place of summer sojourn. In
the course of his wanderings he came
upon pair of bars leading into a
grassy and inviting meadow. The
bars he let down and walked into
the meadow. He had but half crossed
the meadow when he saw, to his
horror, a great black and white
Holstein bull emerge from the dark
shade of an apple tree and advance
toward him. Gen. Bumblethorpe
is not an active man, but the steady
advance of the enormous animal slim
ulated him for the moment to, great
activity. And his own rapid flight
also served to stimulate the bull, who
lowered his head and charged fero-
ciously, believing the while.
It was a mad chase, but Gen. Bum
blethorpe had some good rods of adj
vantage in the start, and the opposite
fence Of the field was not far away
The general ran rapidly and succeeded
in turning a somersault over the fence
just in time to escape the Infatuated
animal.
And then it was Gen. Bumblethrope
was Infatuated. From the safe side
of the fence he stormed and ragged
at the bull, and, seeing a farmhouse
not far away, he stalked over to it.
The farmer was choring around the
barn when the general rushed up to
him.
els that your bull over there, sir?''
exclaimed Gen. Bumblethorpe.
wal, I guess It's" said the farmer.
well, sir, do you know what it's
been doing?"
''Chasin' We, mebbe."
Eyes, sir, chasing me; and it is an
outrage I will not tolerate-an out
rage, [ tell you, that should be pur-
sued and Inundated in this way?''
':Wal," says the farmer, ''it's thing
that bulls will do; ye can't help it, -ye
know

with indignation; do you know who

mo, I don't.''

''Is-that SOP" said the farmer, with
a great elaboration; s.is that-so.

First he sponges off the skin. Then he
takes a soft fowl, folded thick, wrings
it in hot water, and places it across the
lower part of the face. Another covers
the upper part, with only a breathing

is kept up for ten minutes. You are
almost lulled to slumber. In reality
your face is given a Turkish bath. The
hot towels are followed by a cold

then towel wet in bay rum, is laid

faith, he continued. I'VE have one scrip
tural definition of faith which is found in
Hebrews Kill, and perhaps We will never
have better. While not attempting to
define faith there are some facts about the
nature OF it that We may mention.
"tlrst-Presumption is not faith. Pre-
sumption will risk everything on the
chance throw of dice. CreduIitv is not
faith. Credulity is belief without ADEQUATE
evidence. Faith demands a reasonable
foundation on which to stand. Credutitv
is strong in proportion to ignorance. True
faith is strong in proportion TO knowledge.
1t was not until Jehovah had DISPLAYED in
the ten plague miracles His power over
every Egyptian deity that he demanded
unprecedented faith from Israel. Jesus
recognized the same power when he SAID of
the Jews: III had not come and spoken
unto them the Word none other man
spake, they had sinned, but now they have
no cloak for their sin
Arnold, of Rugby. often said that faith
Is reason leaning on God. Faith is IN

There are degrees in faith. Abraham is the
representative OF great faith, Thomas the
representative OF a little faith.
Faith is capable of DEVELOPMENTS In
reiigious lite many things that are TODAY
objects of faith, may become tomorrow
matters OF knowledge, and frcm this as a
new vantage ground, faith should spring 10
loftler level.
How can faith be increased? First nv
study of the Bible. Study of nature dis.
closes Gods wisdom and power. but the
Bible alone gives US the revelation of Gods
character and relation to man. Second nv
prayer. Exercise of prayer begets a keen

dead also. Bishop Taylor's whole history
