NO TARIFF LAW.

There are those who claim to be pc
culiarly intimate with the workings of
the Republican mind at Washington,
who insist that there is no real expec-
tation of passing any tariff measure.
The contract undertaken to revise the
tariff on protective principles is very
different as an actuality from the the
DRY. when no voting element in the
party can be spared or offended. The
matter of the duty on hides is one of
the illustrations of the difficulty in
volved in the work. A promise was
given the big cattle growers out in
Montana last year, under the counte-
nance of the national committee, that
there should be duty ON hides.
Probably, also, the ARMOUR and other
monopolieS to be chiefly affected made
stipulatIonS of this sort in their cam
paign subscription. On the other hand,
Massachusetts and several other leather
working states propose to ditch
the g. O. D. If any burden is
put Oh their industry. The wool
and sugar interests involve somewhat
similar difficulties. Then the farmers
in the West are not disposed to be
lulled with sops in the way of tariffs on
their staples which they want to ex-

AFTER THE CURFEW.

Yet fingers in the darkening hall,
come to say a last good night
Before the final exeunt all.
We gathered once, Joyous throng;
The jOvial toastS went gaily round:
With jest, and laugh, and shout and song,
We made the floors and walls resound.
We come with feeble steps and slow,
little band of four or five.
Left from the wrecks of long ago.
Still pleased to find ourselves alive.
Alive! How living, too are they
Whose memories it is ours to share
Spread the long tables full array;
There sits ghost in every chair.
One breathing form no more. alas.
Amid our slender group we see;
With him we still remained 1.-The Glass;
Without his presence what are We?
The hand we ever loved to clasp
That tireless hand which knew no rest
Loosed from affections clinging grasp.
Lies nervless on the peaceful breast.
The beaming eye, the cheering voice,
That lent TO life generous glow,
Whose every meaning said rejoice,
We see, we hear, no more below.
The air seems darkened by his loss. .
Earth's shadowed features look less fair,
And heavier weighs the daily cross
His willing shoulders helped us bear.
Why mourn that we, the favored few
Whom grasping time so long has spared
Life's sweet illusions to pursue,
The common lot of age have shared?
In every pulse of Friendships heart
There breeds 1nfet throb of pain;
One hour must rend its links apart.
Though years on years have forged the
chain
So ends 'sThc Boys" lifelong play;
We, too. must hear the prompter's call
To fairer scenes and brighter day;
Farewell. let the curtain fall

CHAT ABOUT WOMEN.

A Swell Club It has been left for
Milwaukee, the "Blond
for the Dear Beauty of the. Lakes"
otherwise the Cream
Creatures. City, to bring forth in
perfection 1.-The Wom-
ans Club" Although but forty-four
years of age and still growing, she has
honorS heaped upon her of which no
sister can rob her. Milwaukee claims
to be the most healthful and orderly
city in the United States, and she also
claims that of all the cities in the Union
hers stands first for the number of citi-
zens who live in their own houses. Ger
tainly this is true of the Woman'S club.
The women of the club not only have
club house, which other clubs of women
cannot boast, but they even own that
club building themselves, allowing 1T to
be known in real estate circles as the
"Athen8um."
The club house is situated on the
corner of Biddle and Cass streets, and is
a gabled and capacious affair, beauti-
fully adapted to the requirements of
associated hospitality. The building is
provided with several receptlon-rooms,
a general neeting-room, dining room
and fine hall, seating some four hun
dred persons:
Each week literary meetings ale held
by the Woman's club, each taking the
form of a more or less formal reception,
where the lecturer, usually of consider
The hall is also put to other
less serious uses than that of a
lecture-room. There are nights when
the sound of the fiddle is in the air. and
the pleasant frou-frou of slippered feet
is heard on the waxed floor. With a
sweet remembrance that woman is but
a flower of the field, although she may
indeed be club member, recitalS and
receptions and tea-fghts spring up ev-
erywhere in the same field with her.
And then to make the feminine brand
the palmer, whenever occasion permits
the hall of this unique club house is
thrown open for wedding reception.
Then. if never otherwise, the longing,
lovable brothers of these clubable
women are permitted to attend.
New York has much to learn from its
Western sister, for the vaunted club
house of six months ago is not to be
mentioned as even a follower in the
others footsteps. The Woman's club,
on Lexington avenue, bears indeed the
same name, but it is not incorporate
body. 1t is only, in fact, big waiting
room, where women may read and
write and rest and drink tea, but remain
unbound always by any social tie.
The Woman's Club of Boston, of
which Mrs. Julia Ward Howe is the
famous president, is only weekly
gathering, with home that furnishes
but meager entertainment, save on the
one day month when guests adorn its
camp-stools. On the twenty-seven
other days its desultory members read
its deSultory newspapers.

NEW USES FOR CORN. q

1t is a familiar adage that a man is a
benefaetor who makes two blades of
grass grow in place of one. Just now,
in view of the swollen corn cribs In
most Of the Western states, man
would have an easy election as phil
anthrOpiSt and statesman who can find
a new use for corn, or an outlet to
new market of absorbing capacity. A
Milwaukee man is said to have recently
developed a process for making a new
sort of Wand of corn that will make it
more delicious than any of the old proc
esses, and also make 1t available in the
manufacture of beer. This will presum-
ably immensely add to its uses. Then
there is more systematic movement
to create demand for it in Europe.
There is encouragement in this. There
must be enlarged opportunities for corn,
if the country is to go on raising 1t as in
the past few years. The production is
growing vastly in excess Of the de-
velopement of the country. Any ell
largement of its use is to be welcomed.

Ii is to be hoped it is an unreliable
observation that blon DIES are to go out
of fashion. 1t is alleged that they have
already nearly disappeared from New
England. This is regarded as the re-
action from the extreme type Of the
later fashions. 1t is described as hav-
ing passed from the ripe wheat to the
bright copper kettle. Still, if the work

harmony of the eyes, hair and COM

Savoy hotel, in the Thames embank-

offend that powerful parsonage, the

struck work, and his sixty cooks fol-
lowed his example. The walters joined
the strike, and next came the maids

upset, and unless the manager makes

EA RLY EGYPTIAN STOCKINGS

feet. The ancient Egyptians, on the
contrary, who are now only to be seen
in dried condition in museums, pos
sessed very good method of knitting
stockings, as is shown in the collection
at the Louvre, in Paris. In the grave of
a mummy there was found pair of
knitted stockings, which gave the sur
prising evidence. firstly, that short
stockings, resembling socks, were worn
by the ancient Egyptians; and secondly,
that the art of knitting stockings had
already attained great perfection in
ancient Egypt. These curious stockings
are knitted in very clever manner, and
the material, fine wool of sheep, that
might once have been white. is now
brown with age. The needles with
which the work was done must have
been little thicker than we should
choose for the same purpose, and the
knitting is loose and elastic.
