Free WOOL.

Says the Boston Journal Mr. J. S
Moore, the "Parsee Merchant" attempted
TO convince the committee that free WOO
would make foreign wool cheaper, while
American wool would advance in price.
Americans would have a chance TO export
their goods, aud thus the demand for
American wool would be increased" The
Commercial Advertiser. which Is looking
out for the interests Of the big foreign
/ importing houses, and does not care q
fsrthng for the American farmer. o!unty
and trothfully pronounces the Parsee :
plea sophistry. 1t adds
Seventy per cent Of the wool manu-
/ featured in this country is raised here
/ II the price is To advance under free
wool, then wooden goods would become
dearer instead Of cheaper, and manufsc
turer and consumer would both be il
jured. 1t is true that the price Of WOO
would not fall to the full extent OF th'
/ duty taken of, but it t-ould tall or h,r
,ee aid be no sense in remDriHg the duty
Then the price of the American farm
er's wool would inevitably fall on tn
removal of the duty is precisely what tn
protectionist5 have been contending, an
it has been strenuously denied by the FREE
traders. Here we have from an eminen

Sand Bags a Convenience.

The sand bag IS invaluable in the sick
room. Get some clean. tne sand. dry it
thoroughly il a kettle on the stove Make
bag about eight inches square of fan
mel Ill it with dry sand. sew the opening
carefully together and cover the bag with
cotton or linen. This will prevent the
sand from sitting out, and will also ena-
bic you to heat the bag quickly by placing
IN the oven or even on top of the stove.
After once using this you will never again
attempt TO warm the feet or hands OF a
sick person with bottle of hot water or
brick. The sand holds the heat long
time. and tine bag can be tucked up to the
back without hurting the invalid. II is
good plan TO make two or three of the
bags and keep them on hand, ready for
use al any time when needed.

WORTH WHILE.

1t isn't worth while to crowd, my friend.
To crowd in life's rocky road.
To push and jostle the forms that bend
To carry their heavy load.
1t isn't worth while to lead the throng
Who are clamoring for renown,
If to gain your place and keep it long
You must push brother down.
1t isn't worth while to hoard your gold
Till your Golfers are running DER,
If to gain your wealth your heart must be cold
To the cries of the suffering poor.
But it is worth while, as you travel the road,
When your comrade is ready to fall,
To steady his steps and tighten his load,
For there's room and to spare for all
And it is worth while to slacken your pace
To help your brother along.
With love in your eyes and smiles on your face,
And words of good cheer on your tongue.
And it is worth while to open your heart.
To open your purse and your hand,
To lay up treasures that ne'er shall depart,
But wait in the better land.
