The Michigan State Grange has re-
volted against the idea of a government
loan to the people on real estate. This is
but the beginning of revolt all along
the line throughout the west and north
west. The true inwardness of that
scheme, which has been held to for the
time by the Alliance in these sections,
has come out since the Ocala meeting
and the failure to organize the proposed
third party, and that was to break up
the solid south. The object was a worthy
and patriot one, but the means to ac-
complish it were most inexpedient.

Grand Master Carr, of the Wisconsin
State grange. recommends the establish
ment of Irvine plant in the prison of
that state. He does this on the ground
that trust has been formed and thus
preventing competition n that branch Of
industry and raising the price beyond a
reasonable figure. He wants the state
to step in and protect the farmers against
The exactions of the monopoly. In this
particular case the proposition looks
plausible, whatever may be said against
employing convict labor in the produc-
ton of other manufactured articles in
competition with honest free labor.
Other states employ portion of their
convicts in the manufacture of certain
products OF the state into articles of COM
merce. hentucky's hemp crop, one of
the principal crops of the state, is almost
wholly consumed in the bagging and
Irvine making department of the state
prison, thus not only affording a reliable
market at home for that crop and at pay
ing prices, but also retaining 10 the state
the pr tit in the manufacture thereof.
The Irvine combine is certainly one that
can thus be effectually squelched if the
grain states would all follow suit.

Two Great Americans.

From the New York star.
1.-The biggest Americans, as English
men estimate them, are James G. Blaine
and Grover Cleveland. Each is recog-
nized as the foremost champion of his
cause. As for the Mckinley bill Is re-
garded as an experiment in England. and
the settled opinion is that it will be re-
pealed. Naturally they hope it viii be.
Counsel General New told me just before
/ sailed that there had been no decrease
in the number Of the value of invoices
that have passed through the Office since
the Mckinley bill became law, which
proves that England regards this country
as its best customer, and if it can't sell
us one thing it will another, SO as to keep
up the volume of business"

For Ladies with Bald Heads.

Badness is rare infrmity among
ladies. Doubtless one reason is because
they are their own hair-dressers. Occa-
sionally the hair falls out from severe
fevers, as typhoid, but it is usually re-
stored without treatment. Some ladies
seem to have inherited tendency to
badness. Thinning out of the hair also
occasionally occurs in conseG uence of
constitutional i'll health. Probably no
better chair reStorer' has been found
than cantharides. A simple, and per-
haps as good as any other application, is
cantharides, four ounces of bay rum and
ten ounces of water. This should be
we'll rubbed into the scalp every day.
Quinine has some repute as hair tonic
The usual proportions are two drachms
to pint of water. Common water may
be used. The mixture should be made
up by druggist, who will need to
add little dilute sulphuric acid, and a
few drops of some perfume oil will rem
der it more agreeable. 1t would be we'll,
also, to add 10 each pint of the mixture
two or three ounces of glycerine. APP
ply this tonic once or twice day. A
rapid gain must never be expected from
the use of any hair restorative. Even
the best of them are not likely to have
any noticeable effect until after they
have been persisted in for several
months.-Boston Herald.

feared that this fight would do them dam
age, as every once in awhile resoundlnS
thud on the boats bottom would show
that the ravenouS creatures cared little
for such vessel as theirs. All of a
sudden big fifteen-foot wounded shark
rose short distance off, with another,
double his size, in pursuit He rushed
on, and in jiffy had sprung right into

hard to say whow the most surprised
the sharks or the captain and his crew.
The monkey flew up the mast chatter

safety on the bowsprit and the captain
jumped into the cabin. The two big
fish foundered around in the boat, the
sides being just high enough to prevent
their getting over again. The boat
rocked to and fro frightfully as the
huge sharks kicked about. Captain Joe
says that he expected to go to Davy
Jones locker at any moment. The
sharks both lay with their heads towards
the bow and their tails near the cabin
door,
Venturing forth, after awhile, the
captain seized an axe, and, standing
near the door, he brought it down with
all his strength upon the tail of the big
fellow. The effect was electric; up
went the flukes with tremendous
whisk. and, while the axe went out to
sea a dozen rods the captain was whirled
backward into the ocean, just catching

Why Does Mrs. Man Go Back in the World
While Her Husband Grows"
Miss Girl was married the other day
and when she came down this morning
nearly everybody in town was looking
at her, for she really is very pretty.
Her checks and lips have redeemed and
she walks as lightly as princess and as
proudly as a queen; and somehow or
other the thin white veil she wears
heightens her appearance wonderfully,
and the men watch her as she passes.
The girls all envy her, and the elderly
women are beginning to call on her; in
fact she is getting settled for life.
She is so happy and conscious of her.
self that she is unconscious of the fact
that she is going over road which
will soon deepen into rut and make her
like all other women. She can not hold
the general attention very much longer
and the next bride will displace her in
public admiration. She will soon find
that she is counted as old married folks
by her unmarried friends and is not in
vited very much, and further she will find
that married folks have little society of
their own. Then sho will get more and
more engrossed with her neighbours Cos.
sip and little church affairs and some.
how things which she did before mar
riage innocently enough when done by
the young girls will have different
significance to her and she will be given
to insinuating that this or that thing
may be all right but-And then she will
meet with the women around at places
and discuss the men and tell about her
husbands lungs and liver, and swap
remedies for Group and sour stomach
and sore eyes.
Long before this she will get fat and
lose her pretty color and will waddle
and wear black alpaca on the streets
and calico dress and carpet slippers in
the house, and the men who are envy
ing my friend, Mr.. Man, now, will then
wonder how he was ever attracted to
such a woman as Mrs. Man anyway, and
her friends will think of what pretty
woman she was, and sigh and say there
are TO such good old-fashioned girls as
there used to be, and that all the girls
care for is dress. dress, Dress
Mrs. Man probably doesn't think she
will make that kind of wife and has
often talked with Mr.. Man about how
she is going to be pretty always
for him and how she will not
let their marriage make the slight
est difference in her personal APP
pearance, but she will forget all this
after the first baby has been brought up
if not before. Why does Mrs. Man go
back in the world and her husband
grow?-Elder Twiggs (Will a. White.)
