iHE LOST CHILD.
BIT MRS. SAPoI EoS b. aoRASsz.

LOST Lost in the bewildering throng,
Baked by the human current, surging strong
Amid the savage roar its voice is drowned
No ear has caught the feeble. plaintive sound ;
Mamma mamma - il calls, then glances shy,
Betrayiug dread OF every passer-by
It's eyes are blind, and its feet
Are, o, so weary, Wandering the street
Mamma mammal II calls, aud calls again,
Adding each time a keener note OF pain
II runs then pauses, overwhelmed with Tears,
For only strangers cross its mist OF tears.
The traces of mothers care
Still Hnger in the curled aud sunny hair;
The PLAYING children tempt it not to stop,
Though in its hand is clutched a striped top,
And as il hurries through the alien town,
One little stocking slips unheeded down
At last the faint appeal is heard,
And sleeping hearts Of sympathy are stirred;
Some bend to ask its name its mother 8
name
On all the world IL seems to have no claim.
II stares at every one in blank amaze,
While DER its face tangled ringlet strays.
Arrested on its Grant course,
The very tears are scared back 10 their source
One chubby hand Is lifted TO its brow,
its head droops like q broken flower now;
To ask, suggest or coax, alike are vain,
No hint of home or mother can they gain.
But suddenly from out the crowd
presence dawns, like sunshine from cloud
sob of gladness heayes the little breast
Bystanders need no more they know the rest.
Mammal mamma |" it shouts with ringing JOY
And to her heart the mother clasps her boy.

Using n New Fuel.

In report just issued, the Trans
portation Committee of the ScraAton
Pa Board of Trade seeks to prove
that culm, or anthracite waste, IS the
cheapest fuel there is, and, as there are
mountains of it in that city, that Scran-
ton is an excellent place in which TO
locate all sorts of manufactures. The
report gives as the relative cost a day
of different fuels per horse power per
boiler: Anthracite coal, prepared sizes,
) TO 8 cents bituminOus coal, 10 d
cents; natural gas, to cents; culm,
! to = cents.
The cheapness Of culm, as fuel, over
natural gas, is shown in the fact that
steel rails are made in Scranton with
culm for less than it costs 10 make rails
in the same way with natural gas, so
that rails can be carried three hundred
miles from Scranton to Pittsburg ard
be sold there for less than rails made
In the latter city with natural gas.
The report claims that culm fifteen
years old has been used with salts
factory results. II also asserts that the
flow Of natural gas diminishes gradu-
ally in every well and finally ceases,
thus nocessitatiug the opening mp Of

How the HAT industry h AHected by
the Protective TariG.
Editor C3uJc. In my judgment the
true inwardness OF our protective tariff
system has not arisen in debate ia either
House II Congress so that the majority
of The American people can understand
it. ! will. therefore, touch upon one
import item and In what I say I DEFY
contradiction, as every hat manufac-
iurer in America will sustain me In &C.
Since the origin of the war tariff
there has been organized In America
a combine of felt importers, about
twelve Ia all one Of whom is now an
executive officer Of the Government
This Combine-the same as the late A.
T Stewards in regard TO gloves-has
contracted with OH the European and
foreign felt manufacturers for all the
lClt required for American cOnsump.
tiOn at European prices This felt,
after importation, Is thrown into the
bonded warehouses and any domestic
felt coming TO market finds its way 20
the same combine, as I, Is the only mar.
ket as will more fully appear hereafter
The combine thus gets in possession
Of all the felt, so that the hat manu-.
faCturCrs are compelled to manufacture
the hats for the combine at the latter's
price per dozen or stop their plants.
some Of which employ from 100 10 8, 600
haucrs The felt Is In bolts OF web
form. and Is cut by the combine for the
bat manufacturers as a tailor cuts his
cloth, not one inch In or over In the
completion Of dozen hats made 10 a
given size. The combine receives the
hats weekly bv hundreds Of thousands
In boxes, and pays for the manufactur
ing thereof at contract prices. Hence
the hats become the property Of the
combine, and thereafter Il marks its
prices per dozen IN accordance with
quality, style aud finish Of the hats.
The hat manufacturers, therefore, do
not manufacture for the trade, as for
the past twenty five years they have
been compelled 10 manufacture for the
felt combine or stop their plants
AprOpos to this statement, the writer
has a friend at Orange n j., who Ia q
hat manufacturer, and In visiting him
some time ago was presented with a felt
hat. This hat | was told by my friend
was made from scraps and cuttings,
but said he, you could not buy In
any store In New York n similar hat for
less than Sj, whereas In case l could oh.
tain the felt In quantities sufii-
Citnt to keep my plant running at
regular market prices outside OF felt
importers | could sell you that hat at
$3.50 and make more profit than | am
doing now, and pay my hatters 10 per
cent. more wages In case duties were
taken from the felt and the present
duties continued on the foreign manu-.
faCturCd hats.
II will be observed that every man,
woman and child In America that wears
a felt hat has to pay the price that this
combine imposes thereon In add
tlon 10 that Of retail Politics
should have nothing 10 do with this
matter Of tariff. The writer especially
