Mckinley tariff. Addressing the Eng
lish tin-pIate manufacturers it says you
must reduce the price Of tin plate at once.
Every reduction made by you increases the
chances of choking down the new Ameri-

Kinley law may be repealed. - That Is
they must reduce wages aud cut off profits
to such an extent that they can sell tin
plate in the United States as cheaply
under the new tariff as under the oil d.
The American manufacture Of tin must be
prevented until the repeal Of the Mckinley
act ltls the old thing over again. De-
stroy American industry bv cut prices, then
charge double to make up for the loss.

The Aver.re Man.

One of the most CALLING tyrannies of
modern life is that of the average man.
Did you ever see the average man? No.
Are you acquainted with any one who
ever did? No. Have you any reason to
believe that the average man ever ex-
listed? No, again. The fact is he is a
myth. He never did and never will ex-
ist- He is philosophical abstraction,
a stage property of the metaphysician,
a straw man, set up to be worshiped
or reviled, as the case may be. And
yet we all bow down to him and talk in
hushed whispers about his thoughts,
deeds and desires. We are rejoiced
when he is supposed to smile, and
tremble when he frowns. Statisticians
burn the midnight oil in order to do
sums about him. Statesmen give up
their lives in his service. Political econ
omists look solemn as they take his
measure. Physicians tell us how he
may keep well, and preachers adjust
the messages of the Gospel to his COM
preheDsion. And yet, of all the myriads
of men who have ever lived, every one
differs more or less from the supposed
average man. Who will deliver the
world from the tyrannical rule of the

and whose luxurious way of living was
the scandal of the city of the sea-
''She ate her food, says the Venetian
chronicler, with a golden fork" The
knives and forks did not come into COM

till the seventeenth century; and as late
as the eighteenth century. gentlemen
in travelling carried their knives and

A reporter asked Prof. Darling what
truth there was in the general theory
that lion can be kept in subsection by
the mere power of the human eye. He
said it was all nonsense. Lions, he
averred. were held in subsection through
fear. They are afraid of human being
A lion born in the jungle stands in
greater fear of man than a lion born and
brought up in captivity, for the reason
that to the captive lion the human figure
becomes familiar, and the element of
fear springing from a strange and I'M
| usual appearance does not operate
Darling turns his back on the lions in
| the arena without any hesitation and
the lions are just as well-behaved when
his back is turned on them as when he
is looking at them. 1t is all right, how
ever, he says, to keep you eye on a lion,
just as it is entirely proper and neces-
sary to keep your eye on any dangerous
enemy or opponent, simply because you
want to know what an antagonist pro-
poses to do. He says, however, that
there is nothing of the sneak about
lion at all. If he means to attack you
he gives you fair notice. The ferocity
of the lion, he says, is founded on fact
1t is pretty dangerous for lion to bite
you, even by accident.
asked him also if it was usual among
liOn-tamers to cut the claws of lions or
to pull their teeth. He said that the
Old-time CONTAINERS used to cut their
claws occasionally, but it was impossi-
BILE to pull their teeth without breaking
their jaws, as the teeth were SO long
and SO strong and SO firmly imbedded
in the bones. He had never attempted
to cut their claws, for the reason that
the lions did not like to be disturbed by
manicuring. hated to be mastered. as al
ready mentioned. and the effect of such
proceedings was to make them more fero-
cious than otherwise they would be. He
said he had no doubt that lions suffered
occasionally from toothache, because he
had found decayed teeth in their cages
that had dropped out of their jaws. But
he had never known of lions undergoing
dentistry of any kind, or any steps ever
having been taken to preserve their
teeth. AS to their health, the measures
he took were rather preventive than
curative. They were subject to lung
troubles and did not live to be more
than eight or nine years of age when in
captivity. When at liberty they posi-
bly, lived to be twenty or twenty-five
