The. knife an Educator.

The knife is put into the hands OF =
child at a very early age; shall it be a
mere toy, and used to foster habits OF
destruction. or shall il be a means of
Development and be productive Of con-
structiou?' AS children at an
early age are allowed the knife, and de-
light in il, and as wood is common
material, why should not parents and
teachers, studying practical educational
methods, ascertain the best application
of the knife TO these methods? In the
Slojd training, Vera Hjelt, OF Finland,
has devised many models in wood that
q child can make, while it is still unsafe
to put knife in his unframed hands.
Thes, tools are the scroll saw, the
plane and the file. But the knife-age
comes TO all children, and to most when
they have not had training in the use of
the other tools. In Sweden, even before
the introduction of Slojd, great import
ance was given to the knife; and why
not? 1t is ever at hand, and its con-
structive capabilities are very great.
With it one can begin in the formation
Of plane surfaces and angles, then the
simple joints, gradually approaching
the difficult and complex. Hard wood
for small children should be used in
preference to soft, as it affords greater
resistance, and mistakes are not 50 easily
made.-The Kindergarten.

THE OLD SOLDIERS AND THE SOUTH.
ERN ALLIANCE.

The republican congress in one day
passed l35 private pension bills in forty
FIVE minutes;
This action will be regarded with
conflicting emotions by the political
party founded on the southern alliance.
In Kansas, members Of the alliance
party will make powerful effort TO
look abused, and complain bitterly be-
cause 131 pension hills were not passed
in forty-four minutes. But in the south
where this sweet-scented party has its
headquarters, the leaders will gather
together in their various headquarters
and, after giving the grip and password,
they will renew their pledge TO drive
out the republican party and defeat this
pension robbery" or, as Ben Tillman's
alliance organ in South Carolina terms
{. these &c. A. r. legslized steals"
OF these conflicting purposes, which
,ill triumph? So far, eighteen alliance
zen have been elected to congress, and
ccording to the revised congressional
directory all but two of them are demo-
Gratis: while the alliance has elected six
United States senators, of whom four,
Irby, Gordon, Pugh and Vance will
vote with the democratic caucus; and
of the other two, one at least, Judge
PETER, has distinctly asserted that he
will not vote with the republican eau

Dun. Weekly xevlev.

New York, March 2.-R. G. DUN
& Cos. Weekly Review OF Trade says:
There is not much change in the con-
dition OF trade, but there is little more
dullness at the south and the northwest,
with little more stringency in money
markets and complaint about slow col
lectiOns. In general business is still
hesitating. The laI ger cause is I'M
doubleday the partial loss of crops,
which has left great many farmers
without money for thir usual pur-
chases. At the same time the collapse
of the real estate bonn, which so wildly
inflated prices thrOu9 bout the west and
south. has affected business more than
has vet been realized. To this influence
is added at the south the extremely low
price OF cotton, which affects farmers
the more because so many OF them tried.
by holding back their crops, to force
higher level of prices.
The money markets, though still gen
orally called easy. give signs of steady
approach to stringency, and at Omaha
money is quite close; at Milwaukee in
active: at Cleveland rather stringent,
much being locked up in iron orc. At
Boston some scarcity OF lOanable funds
is noticed aud rather firm and higher.
Southern reports generally note fair
demand, bat no Improvement in trade,
while northwestern points are, on the
whole less favorable than before is to
tho state of business.
~ Beaver business IS better. and at
Milwaukee.
No rhamgc IS noticed at Kansas City
and st. PAUL, but it is only fair at
Omaha.
Business at eastern cities has been IT,
regular. On the whole trade is
strengthened by comparative scarcity,
and prices Of some grades are higher.
There has been an advance on the
average prices Of all commodities
amounting to One-half of / per cent for
the week, but it has been almost eXclu
sively in products of which receipts
were short.
The price of wheat has not advanced,
western continuing heavy, while eX-
ports are light.
Corn has risen 2sc and oats lic. y
speculative advance of &c is also seen in
coffee.
The exports of merchandise from
New York for the past four weeks have
been One-fourth per cent less than for
the same weeks last year and imports
also decreased q little-about ten per
cent.
The business failures during the last
seven days number go as against 297 Of
last week, and for the corresponding
week % last year figures were 30l.

paRTISAN sCURRILTTY.

In the lack of anything else to say
derogatory OF Governor Foster, the new
secretary of the treasury, democratic
papers are calling him ''Calico Charley"
The same papers are in the habit of re-
ferring to Postmaster General Wanna
maker as ''Chesp John" This is the
democratic tribute to successful bust
ness men. Governor Foster and Mr..
Wanamaker are splendid examples oil
American enterprise, energy, push and
all around business capacity. They
have both succeeded by honorable
methods, and are good types OF the best
class OF American citizens. Is there
anything disgrscetul in business that
they should be sneered at on that
ground? The democratic idea seems to
be that only professional politicians,
and men who have shown no capacity
IN managing their private affairs, are

The popular judgment in this respect is no
doubt right, and will be sustained. Budded
plants, except with some weak growing
varieties, will never 8gain be in vogue,
and the number of excellent varieties OF
vigorous growth is SO great that de icate
growers will be discarded for this fault
alone, no matter what other good qualities
they may possess.
The rose is the most highly priced, and,
next TO the geranium. the most generally
cultivated Towering plant. These remarks
apply to amateur cultivation. Profession
al florists make rose-growing a very
prominent part of their business, and i'm
mense quantities of flowers are raised dur
ing the winter season for cutting. The
statement is made by competent authori.
ty that in 1885 'the trade sold "a. 600, OOO
cut roses" This indicates, TO some ex-
tent, the popularity of this particular

where Nero Dad.

One By one the mysteries Of antiquity
come to light Ii they are not discoy-
cred and dug up, somebody fabricstes
them, which is just as good. They
have just made an interesting dis
eovery in Rome-very interesting to
the historian, and interesting even TO
the Intelligent tourist" They have
found the very site Of Nero's suicide.
There had been a great deal of legend
about the tomb haunted by the raven,
supposed to be the spirit Of the bad
Emperor. Suetonius, who wrote on the
Twelve Caesars" is picturesque in his
particulars, but not definite. He tells
US how the Emperor's nurse found the
body and herself saw to its cremation.
She collected the ashes and placed them
in a porphyry urn in the garden OF
Domitian,s villa. There is general
belief that the Pincian Hill, just above
the Piazzo del POpOlo. was the site of
these gardens, but the belief has rested
more on tradition than on truth. How
ever, Signor Butt, the engineer, in the
course of his excavations, has discovered
a stone with an inscription very defin-
itely fixing the site of the villa where
the suicide was effected. Few spots in
modern Rome, In the Rome Of our day,
are better known to tourists and travel
ers, and it is part Of the curious irony
OF fate that the spot where Nero ended
his life should be not far from the house.

1t was anticipated that The Increase
OF the duty on tin plate from | cent to
2-l0 cents per pound, as provided IN
the Mckinley bill. would result II a
temporary advance in the price. The
advance in the duty is considerable,
amounting to 81 per ton, and, while
the friends of the tariff bill maintained
that the advance in price would only be
temporary and that the establishment
of the tin plate industry in this country
would soon bring il down to lower fg-
ures than those in force before the pas
sage Of the Mckinley bill, still they
we're ready TO admit that for time tin
plate would be more expensive. They
argued, and soundly enough, that tie
American people could afford TO pay a
triie more for tin articles for a short
time, the workman could even afford TO
pay cent more for the ''tin dinner
pail" for the sake of establi ing in the
United States great industry which,
once fairly established, would bring
down the price Of tin'plate as the prices
of the other articles have been reduced
by the protected Industries of this
country.
But the English manu- 'acturers who
have so long supplied tin rlate to the
United States are evidently alarmed by
the reports that tin plate has already |
been manufactured by Americans and
that soon after the new duty goes into
effect next July there will be a dozen |
tin plate factories in operation here. !
They see that their trade is slipping
from them and they therefore hasten to
inform their American customers that
they will continue their contracts to
furnish tin plate after July / at the
same prices as before. Congressman
Niedringhaus, who is in the business,
has Information TO that effect. ''They
have decided, !" he says, ito pay the in
creased duty out of their profits For
every ton of tin plate they bring in
after July 1, they will pay S24 into the
United States Treasury and American
buyers will get the tin plate without
any increase in price"
But this will have no effect upon the
plans of the American manufacturers.
Mr.. Niedringhaus proposes to go right
ahead with his st. Louis plant. Tin
plate will from the start be quite as !
cheap under the new duty, but when
the American plants are fairly at work t
the price will go down so as to drive
the English out of this market.-Kan- :

Torn From the Arms of His Bride.

Mason City, Ia, March "A
genuine sensation is stirring up the cit
liens of Clear Lake. A week ago, con-
trary to the wishes of the brides par
ents, Ed George was united in mar
riage to Miss Clara Young, daughter of
r. c. Young, respected and inhuen-
tial citizen. George seems to be a
Young man Of good character, and when
he returned home with his bonny bride
the irate father refused to admit them
to his house. They sought shelter with
Milton Gates, when the husband re-
ceived notification to at once leave
town, but being rather nervy, secured a
revolver and determined to stay. Mon
day, at midnight, he and his wife were
awakened from their peaceful slumber
by the presence at their bedside of elev
en- men, clothed in white raimentS and
with faces ma ked. The intrudeni
produced revolverS and told Mr..
George that he had Just five
minutes time in which TO put on his
clothes. When clothed they dragged
him to the street, his wife clinging to
him for nearly block. clothed only in
her night dress, and hurriedly forced
him in the direction of the railroad
track. On arriving near the station
they took him to the water tank, and
kept him there and when the midnight
train came along put him aboard and
ordered him never to return again. How
ever, Geo'ge got off at the first station
and returned to the scere. and to-day
caused the arrest of Will Boyd and Nor
ris Gurden, two young men who he
thinks are the guilty parties. Tonight
County Attorney Clark, who is pushing
the case for Mr. George, received a very
threatening letter, signed White Caps
to s'pull off," The affair has produced
intense excitement.
