The remembrance Of what I had often

the positive necessity-that existed for in
dulging monomaniacs to the top of their

their minds, occurred to me, and fastened

HAS A THICK SKULL.

A Negro Who Has COPIED Successfully
with Animals and Grindstones.
Abram Parsons, better known as ABE
the Bunter," is one of the chief celebrities
of Wiliiamstown, Mass. He celebrated
his one hundred and first birthday on the
4th of last July, but still remains hale,
hearty and character.
Parsons is a negro, and began life as a
slave in South Carolina, where he remained
until IA years of age. Then he was sold to
Stephen Miller, of C1averack, n. Y. He
ran away, got to Connecticut, and from
that on knew no master.
To the thickness and peculiar formation
of his skull he owes his celebrity In the

PROTECTION WANTED AT HOME.

Cheap Southern Iron Close Up Furnaces in
Pennsylvania and Ohio - "Protectionv
Asked of the Railroads.
The lowest cost of making pig iron in
Europe, given in United States Labor
Commissioner Carroll D. Wright's Pre-
liminary Report of the Cost of Produc-
tion," is S7.67 per t6n; and the European
average cost is S99l per ton. In
the same report seven Southern estab-
lisments are given in which the cost of
production is below the average in
Europe.
Since this report was publised last
summer British mining expert has
made report on a certain iron property
in the South where iron can be pro-
duced, he claims, at cost of 81 per ton.
1t is remarkable fact that the South
ern infant iron industry is now produc-
ing the cheapest iron in the country,
and is actually closing up old and we'll
established furnaces in the North. The
furnaces in the South have had no sort
of protection against those in the
North; but now the amusing thing hap
pens, and some of the Northern fur
naces are anxious for form of ''pro-
lection" against those OF the South.
Twenty-three blast furnaces were re-
Gently shut down in the Mahoning and
Shenango valleys of Pennsylvania and
Ohio, throwing nearly 10000 workmen
out of employment.
In explaining this event the American
Manufacturer, great protectionist
trade journal of Pittsburgh, says: "The
first reason given by the furnace own
ers why they can not continue opera
tions under present conditions is the
large amount of Southern iron now
being shipped into that district"
As no tariff can be levied by one State
against another the Pennsylvania and
Ohio iron men know not where to turn
for protection" from Alabama. They
find that iron is hauled from Birming-
ham, Ala, to Youngstown, O., about
500 miles, for $40 ton. The rate
paid on pig from Youngstown to
Pittsburgh, GA miles, is 50 cents
per ton. In one case this is half
cent ton a mile, in the other it is 1.23
cents
What, then, do the Shenango and
Mahoning men want? The Manufact-
urer says they "hold that they should
be protected from Southern competi-
tion by making the rate in iron from
the South commensurate with that
on iron going out of the val
leys. The valley furnace men say
that, being situated midway between
the ore and the coke supplies, they
should be able to produce iron in com
petition with any part Of the North,
and would do SO were they protected
from Southern inroads"
These men have relied on ''protec-
ton SO long that they turn now to the
,4'lroads and ask them for protection
''infant industries" which as YET are
barely started on their course of devel-
opment,

The Supposed Corpse Can Arise In Gaze Her
Condition Proves Only Trance.
Refusing to believe that his beloved
daughter, Mamie, is dead, George Potts.
of Ocean Grove, n. j., refused to have
her inferred and has taken extraordi-
nary precautions to catch the first
sign of returning life. Miss Potts,
who was nineteen years old, was a
pupil in the Comstock school, New
York City, and she apparently died after
having taken morphine pills on Sun
day last. The pills had been prescribed
by Carlyle W. Harris, drug clerk of
her acquaintance. Very few people be-
lieve that death was caused by NOR
phine, and, as if to strengthen the sus-
picion, Coroner Schultzc, of New York,
tclegraphcd Mr.. Potts not to inter the
girls body. Mr. Potts had purchased
plot in Mt Prospect Cemetery, and
had grave prepared for the reception
of the body, but instead of being lower
ed into the grave Miss Potts body was
put in receiving vault and the lid of
the coffin was left off, so that in ease
the girl was in trance and showed
signs of awakening, certain death by
sutfocation would be avoided. Mr..
Potts also ordered the sexton of the
cemetery to pay frequent visits to the
vault and ascertain if there had been
any perceptiblc difference in the ap-
pearancc of the corpse. Mr.. Potts,
face, upon which there was flush, was
