ket that are
styled healthful, but in
reality very few of them
are, as every woman soon
discovers.
The Equipoise waist is
the only one made that
really deserves the title of
health corset-and the
Equipoise isn't a corset at
all. 1t combines three
garments in one; a waist,
a corset and a corset cover
"a combination of the
merits of all three.
The Equipoise has no
hard, rigid front steels, nor
clasps, no steels about it
anywhere, it is stayed with
the best quality of whale
bones which give all the
needed support without
being infexible like cor
sets constructed in the or
binary way. The button
holes are all hand-wrought,
the buttons strongly sewn,
the bone pockets are so
arranged as to allow re-
moval or reinsertion of
bones without ripping.
They embody all the by
gienic principles of shout

of each part so as to equal

Watches in Card Cases.

Among the latest novelties in the
way of card cases is very dainty little
one made of very finely dressed leather.
In one corner of the case is set a tiny
little watch. The effect of this is very
pretty. and, besides this, the combina-
ton is very useful one. Ladies are often
put to great deal of troub BILE in taking
out their watches when on the street.
Carrying this little time-piece set in
their card case or pocket-book saves
them all this trouble, and then, too,
when making calls they have little
gentle reminder in their hands that
they must not overstay their welcome.
Watches set in this way in card cases
and pocket-books are much more popular
than the bracelet watch attachment
The novelty was imported from Paris,
but is now being manufactured very
largely in this country. The cost of
these card cases and pocket-books is
from seven dollars and fifty cents up

Joseph NJ. Wade, editor and general
manager of Fiber and Fabric, publica-
ton devoted to the interests of the cot
ton and wooden trades, in a letter Just
published says:
AS born naturalist and student of natural
law and natural rights am satisfied that the
duty on raw material should be removed with
perhaps some rare exceptions 1t would then
bring not only Our carpet manufacturers but
all other textile manufacturers, down to a
hard-pan basis with their foreign competitors
and If we still retained sufficient protection
on manufactured goods, we should be able to
compete favorably in the markets of the world,
while keeping our own. This conclusion is .
natural one and not drawn from statistics or
commercial reports. 1 am satisfied that
the life OF the Republican party depends on
their action in this matter of raw material. 1t
Is no longer question OF political deals, but
has become one Of the wrongs which great
people must throw of; and we have advanced
SO far in education that even our laborers see
conclusively that we are saddled with this I'M
natural and unrighteouS tax raw materials,
which only prohibits US from buying where we
can buy cheapest am not prepared to apply
the principle to manufactured goods, but the
day has come when it should be applied to raw
material, and the day will come when we can
apply it to manufact ured goods as well. Let
us guard well our industries and make no mis-
takes.
MI Wade is, and always has been, a
Republican, but he is not a politician.
The views he expresses so ably and
clearly are shared by thousands and ten
thousands of intelligent Republicans,
who will not continue much longer to
vote with that party if it persists in its
present war upon American industries.

party in power would practice strange
self-abnegation and virtue if itdid not
avail itself of the machinery at it's dis
posal to perpetuate its power. The bill
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Sherman comprises the most odious
features of the scheme, and will, per-
haps. be considerably modified before it
comes up for action. While the ten
dency of the Republicans is toward this
arbitrary and dangerous system, the
Democrats, both South and North, are
taking ground for the Australian ballot
method Recent interviews with the
Governors of both the Virginias, Ten
nessee, Arkansas and other Democratic
States show entire unanimity in favor
of the reform, and they are believed &c
reflect the sentiments of their States.
With the adoption of this, or its essen.
tial features, there is no excuse for the
interference of the Federal authorities
in the methods of voting in the States.

CANAI-BOAT LIFE.

Babyhood the Queer, Ugly Barges
That Float Through Locks.
One of the curiosities of life displayed
along the waterfront of this city is the
way children are reared in absolute safe
ty aboard canal-boats., Any person who
takes the trouble to visit Coenties slip
or the neighboring docks where canal
boats lay up can witness every day the
common sight of a group of toddling
children playing on the open decks of
the low bulwarked boats, but he never
hears of one falling overheard
On one canal-boat, the Betsey Ann,
of Whitehall, that lay in Coenties slip
the other day, was noticed a novel ar
rangement for keeping the little ones
within the bounds of safety. On, the
after-deck a regular playground had
been fenced off for the youngsters by
building high picket-fence, over which
they could not climb. This had a
swinging gate secured by hasps staple
and paddock. Inside of this Enclosure
were four children, who made the air
ring with their shouts, telling of their
unalloyed happiness and contentment
with the arrangement On another
boat, little way distant in the same
slip, was another queer arrangement to
keep the little tots from falling over
board. In, the center of the deck was
fastened stout ring-bolt, to which were
fastened three stout but small ropes At
the end of each rope was a stout leather
belt buckled about. the waist of a rug
ged, sun-burned youngster. The ropes
were just long enough to prevent the
children reaching the edge of the deck,
but were not too short to allow them
ample room to play in. The children
seemed happy, too. and were not dis
turbed particle by their tether.
On nearly all the boats the children
are allowed to roam about the deck at
will, both while coming down the river
in tow and while tied up to the dock
Many of them are born aboard the boats
There they grow up and in many cases
marry, selecting their mates frsm
aboard. other boats, and Immediately
taking up the life followed by their
parents--N. Y. Times.

manner SO slick that he walked OF with
our cash before we had a suspicion. It
was rainy. dismal afternoon, and
dozen men-agents, drummers, drovers
and others-were sitting about the office-
Some one read a newspaper clipping
about bigamist who had seven wives,
and pretty soon each one had an opinion
to advance. Finally well-dressed,
good-looking man ventured the obser-
vation::
myself could have married a dozen
women on an hours notice It's all in
the first impression created
Some agreed and some differed, and
the discussion began to assume more
vigorous tone. By and by the same man
again observed:
ssYou may think me conceited, gentle
men. but Pm only telling you what I
know can do. I've always had extra
ordinary luck with women I'll venture
to say that can go down to the depot,
pick out the best-iooking woman in the
waiting-room, and if she is not already
married, that 1 can take her to the par
sons inside of an hour.
There was q grand laugh at this, but
he looked very serious as he continued:
perhaps this crowd has some cash to
lose on that? If so. let's talk business?"
After bit we came to an understand
ing. Five of us were to chip in 500
each against $500 of his money. We
were to 60 to the New York Central
depot, select female, and if she proved
to be unmarried, he was to persuade her
into marriage inside of one hour or
forfeit his money. We could have raised
a thousand dollars as well as half that
sum, but he could not cover it.
Nine of us went down to the depot.
Among the waiting passengers we're
seventeen females, but on looking them
over our choice was limited to three.
We finally selected a woman we be-
lieved to be widow. She was fairly
handsome, well-dressed and had two
or three parcels on the seat beside her.
We got seats near by. and then our
masher approached. He asked what
train she was going out on, spoke about
the weather, and to our surprise was not
rebuffed. Within ten minutes he had
asked if she was widow, and she had
scarcely answered in the Affirmative
when he began to plead his case. 1t

We went and they were duly married

acted as coy and shy and embarrassed as

IN THE FfRELIGHT.


There is sunlight for the worker,
There is moonlight forthe lover,
There is gaslight for the beauty, with her gem
clasped neck and arms;
And for me- when day is over,
And q troop of fancies hover,
There's the tender, Pickering freight with its
eyer-varying charms
When before its shrine I'm kneeling,
Soft fame-hnsers upward stealing
Wrap me in a rosy garment, and o'erf1ow the
silent room;
Then Withdrawing, lingering, dying,
All the vacant space outlying
Seems q trysting place for shadows, gliding
from the deeper gloom.
At my touch again upsprfnging
Listen to the rhythmic singing,
sThree-fold melody tits weaving, song Of brook
and bee and bird.
Yet with these there blends another,
Strangely sweet-ah! longlost brother,
IT'S the happy, careless cadence that in child
hoods days heard.
Scenes my constant breast remembers
Pictured lie upon the embers-
Faces that no other where may greet my long
ing eyes;
Blessed hour of fre-lit dreaming,
All I've lost is mine in seeming,
When the spell of thine enchantment opes the
gates of Paradise

cut down one of the tall trees that stood
near, and 1 took another. We cut two
trees each and chopped the trunks into
logs about eight feet long. With these
we built a platform, laying two logs one
way and two the other, building on and
up till we had structure like log pig
pen about six feet high. The top OF the
whole thing we covered with logs small
enough for us to lift-and by the time it
was done there was nothing but water
and trees all around us-even our little
island had dis appeared.
"We had nothing to do now but climb
up and wait; but we stuck it out in the
mud till daylight, trying to keep the ire
going to warm us. By daylight we were
knee-deep in water, and as we had
burned every thing that was not soak
ing wet we let the fire go and climbed
up. We had provisions enough to last
for two or three days, and there was no
danger of any current strong enough TO
tear down our heavy platform. But 1T

eve spent the night on the platform,
and next morning the water was less
than two feet below the top of it. Well,
| you can imagine how we lived, and how
we wondered when we were going to
| get away, or whether the water would
remain high till we were starved out.
But little after noon that day we heard
a distant shout, and you may depend
we were not slow to answer it. We
heard it again and again, always com.
ing nearer, and kept answering it, and
before long boat came in sight. 1t was
our own skiff and my two girls in it.
When the water rose so high they were
afraid we would be drowned, and they
took the big boat and rowed up the
canal till they came to the little boat.
Then they left the big boat and took
to the skiff, and had not much Trouble
in following us, because we had girdled
a good many trees as we came along,
and the marks were fresh.
''The water staid up that time about
three weeks, and if the girls had not
come after us we'd have had our choice
between starving and drowning. But
we don't get caught that way nowadays,
because we know how to read the signs
better. This girl? Oh, no, she's not one
of the girls; but she's the daughter OF
one of them. William Drysdale, in N

LOGIC OF PROTECTION.
A Case That Should Be Investigated by
Brother Mckinley.

Brother Mckinley.
Says the Muscatine Qa.) News:
"But talk OF carrying Goals to Newcastle!
What is that compared with this Muscatine en-
terprise which ships whole train of fir and
redwood from the Pacific coast to Muscatine
and returns it in elegantly wrought work for
the finest hotel in the Northern Pacific coun-
trys''
Where are our protective regulators of
industry? This thing should be stopped.
It will never do TO permit the Muscatine
manufacturers to take the bread out of
the mouths of tie working people of the
Pacific coast in this way. It was all
very we'll to send the train of fir and
redwood from the Pacific coast to Iowa.
That was export trade" and according
to our high-tariff doctors export trade is
a good thing. But it was all wrong to
permit the wood to be carried back to
the coast in the manufactured state.
The Pacific coast should protect it's
labor against such invasion by the
products of the shpauper labor of Musca-
tine.
Does Mr.. Chairman Mckinley say that
the National constitution forbids the
protection of the Pacific coast workmen
by means of tariff on the manufactures
of Muscatine? So much the worse for

of any other section to do likewise.
