ing some concessions from the for
eign producers by way of reciprocity"
And the Philadelphia Press. one of the
most hide-bound of all the hide-bound
protectionist papers grows enthusiastic
over the scheme for continental free
trade. 1t says: Reciprocity, once be-
gun, will spread over the hemisphere.
At . stroke the United State will step
into great trade, equal to that of In
dia."
But there are some discordant notes.
The Boston Advertiser, for example,
which thinks the letter more strange
every time it is read" is forced to
think that Mr.. Blaine has gone too far
in assuming that under the proposed
tariff revision any trade relations can
be entered into with the South Ameri-
can republics which will, in his words,
open the market for another bushel of
wheat and another barrel of pork"
At any rate, Blaine has done the
friends of a low tariff an inoalculable
service in enforcing their views in the
high places Of his party. He has hidden
the leaven in the meal and it has al
ready begun to work.

The dispatch from Washington 10 the
New York Herald in regard to some ut
terances of Blaine on the Mckinley
bill has attracted much attention. The
remarks were said to have been made
10 the Senate Appropriation Commit
tee. Blaine was so Outspokcn against
McKinley's tariff ioh that many people
were not disposed TO belieFs that the
Herald's report was true. II was oct
believed that Bla ne would make such
sweeping statements in opposition to a
measure which his party had rushed
through the House and is now trying to
put through the Senate,
The report printed in the New York
paper is in part as follows;
The Democratic member of the com
mittee, Mr.. Blackburn, was delighted
with the tone Of Mr.. B.aine's view, and
at an opportune moment he is reported
to have said:

voice sgainst this Mckinley bilL'
''Mr. BlaiRe-I wish so too. 1t Is the
most dangerous, il not the most infa-

What Queen Victoria Dr.nk..

Some remarkable information about
the favorite beverage OF European SOW
ereigns has been published by an Amer
lean journal The Queen is described
as preterrtng "the old-fashioned Wines"
port and sherry, and she is fond of hook
and tokay. Formerly the Queen drank
champagne and claret, and she never
cared for either port or sherry. 1t was
the Prince Consort who liked tokay SO
much, and he invariably drank bump
er of it after dinner, regarding it, and
very likely, as q hqueur. OF late years
the Queen, by advice of Sir William
Jenner, has taken Apollinaris water and
Scotch whisky, and even when she
drinks glass of claret it is often mixed
with Apollinaris. The distillery Of
Lochnager, from which the Queen OBJ
tains her whisky, is on the Bslmoral es-
tate. TherSets large cellar of wine at

THE MASCULINE GIRLS.
Nowadays the World Can Stand AlmOs
ANY Thing They Do.

Nowadays the World Can Stand Almost
Any Thing They Do.
The woman of to-day is unique. Such
a type was never known before. Now
that she has decided to ride horseback
man fashion, she has aroused so much
alarm that society has been formed in
England for the purpose of checking
her he eadlong career toward masculinity.
The world can stand the modern girl
when she wears masculine shirts, col
lars, cuffs, cravats, gloves, boots.
jackets, ulsters, hats, rings, umbrellas,
waistcoats. and even single glass; but
when she proposes to straddle a horse
there is sudden jerk backward, writes
Blakely Hall to the Illustrated Ameri-
can. The American girl has the fad.
For some inscrutable reason she has q
rabid desire to lay hold of her beauty
and compress it into the semblance of a
brick. The purpose of her life is the
abolition of the curve. The soft, grace
full and symmetrical lines of the symbol
of absolute beauty-the untrammelled
figure of beautiful woman - are
squeezed and forced into the rigid and
wooden form of mems attire. With the
masculine clothes has come grenadier-
like carriage and a manner that is
every thing but feminine.
In England the desire of women to
ride man-fashion is not half-hearted
one at all. They claim that they are
handicapped by the side-saddle in cross
country riding. They are lighter in
weight and often more daring and skill
full than men, but owing to the difficulty
of riding fractions or ugly horse with
a pummel saddle they are nearly always
behind in the dangerous runs across
country which the fox-hunters take.
Women forget the advantage of the
opposite sex in greater length of limb.
Yet it is an advantage. l have seen
plucky women in the hunting countries
of England, and more notably in Ire
land, who rode fiery and powerful six
teen-hand hunters over the stiffest coun-
try with perfect ease. They were often
small women, and they could not have
clung on their horses backs ten min
utes without pummel to grip in the
jumps.

A PUZZLER.

What Republican Papers Think of Blaine
A PuzzIPr For ProtootiORlats.
Mr.. Blaine's letter to Senator Frye on
the subject of reciprocal trade relations
with South America and the islands of
Cuba and Porto Rico has called out
variety of views from the Republican
editors The letter evidently puzzles
them. Some of them treat Ii like .
pointer dog when he finds a box-turtle;
he frisks around, throws up his tail,
cocks his ears, takes a sniff or two and
wonders What on earth it can be.
The curious thing abeut tee matter is
that some of the most hide-bound pro-
tectionist papers who always stand in
horror of "British ee-trade," applaud
the letter as exhibiting qualities of far
Eighted craftsmanship.
That stalwart Republican journal, the
Cincinnati Commerciel Gazette, says:
''Mr. Blaine's letter on the tariff, in
which ms suggests an Portunitg of
opening the markets of forty million of
people to the products OF American
farmers, is of vast public Importance,
and will command great attention"
The Chicago Tribune sees the impor-
tance of Blaine's policy as tending to
give our f&rlAer5 wider market The
Tribune does not believe II tho protec-
Zionist notion that the home market Is
enough. 1t saysi ''Mr. Blaine's method
of protecting the farmer is by Opening
new markets, which will take his sur
plus crops, and thus increase the value
of all he raises. Were corn brought
into this country in immense quantities
Mr., plaiAe %culd put duties on it to
protect the farmer AS ii is Eat he
seeks for m1c-A markets for surplus corn
as the best way of projecting him. The
MeKtpleyites have but one medicine
warranted to cure every ailment and
that is high taxation OF consumers"
The Tribune does not believe in trying
to humbug the farmers, after the Nc
Kinley fashion, by putting a duty on
corn.
The New Haven (CoHn.) Palladium
insists ''that Mr.. Blaine's significant
utterances, urging the securing of more
foreign markets, should be crystallized
into law. To fail to do this, and to fail
to bring the bill more into the shape
which the people expected and desired,
is to give free rein to the agitation
which Mr.. Blaine notes-an agitation
which, if unchecked, has defeat for US
in store as surely as night follows day"
And Senator Hawley's paper, the Hart
ford Courant thinks that Blame has
struck put in line of development of
American trade which is ful, of promise

An Arab Founding Now a Colonel in the
French Army.
The public has been reading lately a
great many dispatches from France and
Africa giving the yrogress of the war
which the French Government has been
waging in Dahomey. Lieutenant
Colonel Archinard was the officer men
tioned as being IN command Of the
French troops, who, although merely
handful of some 400 or 500 cavalry, have
inflicted great slaughter on their oppo.
nents, killing as many as 1000 in q
single engagement
There recently arrived in this city a
young French officer who is an intimate
friend of Colonel Archinard and who
relates the following strange history OF
the dashinG young Golonel's life;
''Ahout tweuty-six years ago. at the
time France was engaged in a series of
petty wars against tho nomad tribes in
Algeria, and after one of these engage
ments, a certain CASTOR Arcbinard
then Captain in cavalry regiment
was attending to the remaYal OF the
wouaded, when one of his men discov-
cred little Arab child who had evil
IDENTIFY boon abandoned by its parents
in their flight. Being bachelor. and,
liking the bright intelligent look in
the little fellows face, the Captain de-
termined to adopt him and give him
his name. He therefore sent him to
lycee or French school in Bordeaux,
where the lad was educated. and later,
in 1875, the Captain having risen to the
rank of Brigadier-Genersl, he caused
him TO be enlisted as pri-
vate in the Seventh Hussars, un-
der his own name of Archilard.
Gaining rapid promotion he was soon
sent to the cavalry school at Saumar,
from whence he graduated in 1880, only
ten years ago, as a sub-Lieutenant of
cavalry. He was then sent to Tunis
and fought through the campaign of
1882, and the following year saw him
commanding 3 battalion In Tonayin.
In 1857 he was sent to Senegal as a
Major in the famous regiment OF Spahis
Senegalais, which he commanded as

Robblng Country towns.

The country towns most subject TO
visitation by burglars are those whlc b
lie on the line of several railroads, and
are thus in communication with many
different places by various routes. The
''cracksmen" arrive from tie city By
the latest train at night, after the resi-
dents are most Of them asleep. They
have four, I've or six hours for their
nefarious work, and the earliest trains
in the morning take them away with
their plunder, before the good people of
the town have fairly walked up II is
also to be noted that towns thus ahun-
dantly provided with railroad facilities
are likely to be prosperous and there
fore attractive to thieves In al places
so situated the police should be partic-
ularly watchful at and above the vari-

You'd think, TO hear the poets talk
About the country boy,
That his life was just made up of all

Well. guess that I've been there myself.
And know as well as they.

The farmers life you see;
But would they like. those city chaps.
Who have so much to say,
In the burning heat and scorching sun
To load this fragrant hayf
And chores, upon the average farm,
They seem to never end;
The COWS to milk, the wood to get
The sheep and pigs to tend;
And jobs that are too mean for men,
Fall also to our share,
And yet they say tho country boys
Are free from strife and care.
While they're riding in their coaches lne,
Or lounging on soft rugs,
The country boys are pulling weeds.
Or smashing tater bugs;
But of all mean Jobs upon farm,
And can't mention half,
The meanest thing is trying to wean
A well-developed calf.
OF one thing more wish TO speak,
Which every boy knows well;
II farmer chance TO have q call
From stylish city swell,
The best preserves the house affords
Are piled upon his plate,
While the boy who picked the fruit Is left
To pout, and cuss, and-wait.
The time is passing quickly by,
The boys viii soon be men,
And take revenge by using boys
AS others have used them;
But wish those chaps who write that stun
disappearing boys,
Would tell the truth about the thing,
Or else shut up their noise.

me Sugar Truat.


The courts in New York have struck
a heavy blow at the sugar trust, but the
Republicans in Congress have been
much more kind. McKinley's commit
tee at first determined to allow Is cents
per hundred pounds on refined sugar as
protection to the refners. The refners
kicked vigorously at this, and finally
there was conference with the COM
mittee late one Saturday night, and
the next day it was announced that the
protection had been raised to 40 cents
per hundred. Claus Spreckels, the
sugar king of California and Philadel-
phia, who is not in the trust, expressed
himself as satisfied-40 cents was pro-
lection enough for him,
But the trust was not satisfied, for a
trust always has voracious nav, and
so pressure was brought to bear upon
the Senate Finance Committee, which
had in the meantime taken up the Tariff
bill. The result was that the protection
was raised to sixty cents hundred.
Under the stimulous of the friendly
action of these two Republican commit
tees the sugar trusts certificates ad-
Vance3 in value on the New York Stock
Exchange to point representing net
gain of SIS, ZOO, 600; and only after the
courts adverse decision did the trusts
stocks fsll in value.

Mckinley says foreign manufactur-
ers steal the brands of our goods in order
to palm off poorer quality of goods as
American. But if our manufactures
have become so far superior to those
abroad why do they need protection any
longer?
