The Hard Struggle for Existence Among
the Poor People of Tyrol.

The Hard Struggle for Existence Among
the Poor People of Tyrol.
The struggle for mere existence with
these poor people (the Tyrolese) is a
fearful one. something that an Ameri-
can farmer has never even dreamed Of.
The summer days are SO few and so
rainy that the hay can be made only by
tying the grass around poles to dry, free
from the ground, and they may often.be
seen moving in the rain, hoping that
the sun will come out long enough to
partly dry out the grass when cut.
The men, when moving, generally
have on white aprons, looking much like
lot of BARRIERS or walters pressed into
service. This is due, probably, to the
fact that the women do the most OF the
moving, and when a man has to do it he
wishes to look as much like a woman as
possible, SO as not to be recognized.
Throughout the most of Europe tho
peasants, or farmers, live in villages,
and go every morning and evening from
two to four miles to their land and back,
at a great loss of time and thought.
1t is a rare thing to see separate
houses in the country. In Tyrol and
Switzerland the houses are more scat
tered, and one may often see houses
perched SO far up on the mountain side
that it would seem impossible to got to
them, and frequently hamletof dozen
or twenty houses will be found lying up
almost in the clouds, nearly at the tim.

PRo1EcTIoNlsT LOGIC.
Tho Array of Nonsense Put Forth In Sup
port of Unholy Taxation.

paw Va OAtoiJ AhAdttOu'
Protectionist logic is rare and
radiant. not to say ridiculous thing.
We are told, in the first place, that
the imposition of protective duty does
not really raise the price of the home
product to the consumer.
And in the second place, that because
of the encouragement given 10 the home
manufacturer by the protection
does not raise the price of his product
competition is engendered which re.
duceo the price to the consumer.
And Notwithstanding all this we are
told that the duty must be maintained
lest the foreign product-which can not
be afforded any cheaper than the home
product even before the price of the lat
ter has been reduced by competition
be brought in to compete disastrously
with the American manufacturer.
We are told, on the authority of a
Tennessee iron manufacturer, who has
just returned from tour of investiga-
ton in Europe, that there is mo place
in England or Wales where iron is be-
ing made as cheaply Notwithstanding
the low price. of labor) as it is now at
Birmingham, Ala"
We are told, on the same authority,
that cat no place, either in England or
Wales, arc they putting coal on the cars
as cheaply Notwithstanding the low
wages) as in Tennessee or Alabama"
that ''the ores at the pits mouth arc
costing more per ton in England and
Wales Tin spite of the starvation wages)
than are similar grades of ores in Ten.
nessee Or Alabama and that England
can not export any thing now with
profit except tin plate"
We are told, on the same authority,
that "the price of pig iron in the Mid.
dleborough district at the furnace,
Notwithstanding the low wages OF the
pauper workmen) is two dollars per ton
higher than at Birmingham, Ala, OF
Chattanooga, Tenn"
With these showings for text the
protectionist organs warn us thatit will
not do to take off the duty because t'free
competition would enable the English
manufacturer (who is paying more for
his iron and coal and who can not man.
ufacture as cheaply as they can in Ala
bama), to reduce his prices on iron ana
steel TO a point achere he could still make a
good profit, while our manufacturers,
who have to pay much more for labor,
would have to sell at loss"
Was there ever such an array of non.
sense put seriously forth in support Of
theory as this which is gravely urged
in defense of the robber ari1f?-Detroit
Free Press.

misery Caused By Protection.

Bismarck's ardent devotion to the
principles of protection is not working
to the advantage of the German people.
The duty which he has fixed on some
meats and his absolute prohibition Of
others have made beef, mutton and
pork so scarce and dear that they are no
longer consumed by the poorer classes.
As result of these restrictions the lat.
ter have turned TO horsefesh, and this
meat is more commonly consumed in
Berlin and other German. cities than
even in Paris. With very low wages
and the increased cost of living 1t is
doubtful II the German laboring elssses

A MAGNETIC YOUTH,
Young Louis Hamburger's Ability to Make
Things Stick to His Hands.

Things Stick to His Hands.
Louis, the sixteen-year-old son Of
Philip Hamburger, is possessed of a
mysterious power which is puzzling
scientific men. This power enables him
to make objects of considerable weight
adhere to his fnger-tips, contact only
being necessary. The young man, who
is quite small, has been studying chem
istry some time at the Maryland College
Of Pharmacy, and has shown his par
ents and friends some astonishing feats
and bits of magic. By merely pressing
his tully-distended fingers against a
heavy cane, he holds it suspended in
air for long time. He is also able,
by placing the balls of three fingers
against the side of glass tube, to raise
the weight of five pounds attached there
to. He says he has always remarked a
peculiar feeling when touching small
objects which are wet or greasy, and in
order to get the best results in his ex-
periments he must have both the hands
and objects dry and very clean. For this
purpose he always washed his fingers in
alcohol and ether and wipes them and
the objects dry.
In the presence of friends he gave an
exhibition Of his powers. The first ex-
pertinent was to place number OF pins
around the palm of his hands and on
the tips of his fingers. On holding tho
palms vertically the pins are found to
drop only after long time. He next
showed his ability to pick up from the
table by pressing his dry finger tips
against it any highly-polished, smooth
body, such as pencil or pen. Much
more striking, however, was the manner
in which pen held perpendicularly
stuck to the ends of his fingers.
Both hands have the same remarka-
BILE power, though the right one does
the better work. The tips of the fin
gers, which are more than usually
fieshy, are capable of the greatest feats.
He touched his fingers against glass
tube three-quarters of an an inch in di-
ameter, and they stuck with such force
that, as he pulled them away from it
one after another, there was click.
The end of the tube thus raised was
freighted with plaster of paris block,
and on this were gradually piled leaden
weights until five and one-half pounds
were reached. This he was able to
raise with the open palms.
The young man loses control of his
secret force when the objects become
damp by perspiration or otherwise, and
can only show it's action on very smooth
bodies. Prof. William Simon, of the
Maryland College of Pharmacy, has de-
veloped whatever strength and remark.
able powers the young man displays
from the very smallest beginnings. He
has hopes of making him perform yet
more wonderful feats. AT present he is
engaged in experimenting with him in
a scientific manner in order to present
the case to the public in technical
journal. He has called the attention of
a number OF medical specialists in this
city to the case, and all are at loss to
give an adequate explanation.-Balti,

ALL FOR YOU.

The love in my heart is as strong as the hills
And as deep az the fathomless sea,
Yet pure AS the breath of the rose that thrills
The soul of summer with glee
'Tis faithful fair as the light of the stars
That beams in the boundlcss blue;
No selfish mote its radiance mars,
And, sweetheart, tits all for you.
All for you?
Strong and true,
No time the tie can sever.
Till the angels doubt
And the stars burn out,
lam yours, sweetheart, forever.
The love in my heart know not why
Nor how it came to be,
But the bliss that is mine no gold can buy,
Since love hath come to me.
o love, love, love! There's nothing so sweet,
Go search the wide world through;
My heart is so full of it, every beat
Cries out it Is all for you.
All for you!
Strong and true,
No time the tie can sever.
Till the angels doubt
And the stars burn out

The Negroes of Trinidad.

The negroes Of the Windward Islands
are disposed to be the most unconscion-
able set of scoundrels on earth. They
would steal a ship if they could carry it
of, but their inventive genius is of so
low an order that it vanishes in the
presence of such huge undertaking as
the successful removal of thousand
tons of booty. They are pilferers.
When vessel arrives at Caribbean
port they surround it with their feet OF
boats and swarm over the decks and
cabins, appropriating every thing they
can lay their hands on. 1t requires
about half the crew to watch them.
They have been known to steal part Of
ships rigging in broad daylight
They stole piece of salt pork from
my hook while was fishing for sharks
at Trinidad. ! believed that shovel.
nosed monster had given me bite and
was encouraged to bait the hook again
and sit up all night in the hope of
catching him. The same trick was
tried on the captain of British bark
VINO hsneo WIN harpo0n, and the re-
suit was an islander on board with a
piece of steel and frightful wound in
his thigh. Victor Smith, in Chautau-
guam.
The cotton-picker recently tried
near Rolling Fork, says Mississippi
paper, not only captured the cotton but
gathered, in limbs, stalks, real estate
and all, and then scattered the mass all
over the field. 1t took ten darkies to
pick up after it, and the machine was
declared failure. A good, spry de-
scendant of Ham is the best cotton pick

try by our enterprising Yankee friends.
