Feminine Thrift in PhiladcIpfsI IA.

A woman bought fifteen buttons in
a Girard avenue dry-goods store at ]
cent apiece the other day. Next day
she stopped in for some skirt braid
costing cents and for payment pre-
sented three of the buttons bought
on the previous day and a cent. TIE

thirty years experience in the bust

Doubtful Mercics.

The editor Of college paper says
that a famous college president, a
clergyman, was addressing the stu
dents il the chapel at the beginning
of the college year.
ut is" he said in conclusion, "a
matter Of congratulation 90 all the
friends of the college that this year
opens with the largest freshman class
in its history"
And then, without any pause. he
turned to the lesson for the day, the
third Psalm, and began to read in a
voice of thunder:
Lord, how are they increased that
trouble me"

How He Travelled.

There is man in Nashville, says
the American, who has travelled the
length and breadth of the United
States, from Maine to Mexico, from
New York to San Francisco, and did
not pay Il dime for his passage, and
he rode half the way in tirst-class
passenger coach, the other half in
boX-cars and as blind baggage" Il
made $50 once" said he, land it was
the easiest money that ever came
into my hands. Major Clarfee was
the passenger agent of the Atchison,

to get out of town. He gave me a
pass to some point about thirty miles
up the road, and | left that night.

Long and Short Haired Men.

The London Lancet denounces as
false the doctrine that abundant hair
is sign Of bodily or mental strength
in man. 1t says in spite OF the Sam
son precedent the Chinese are mostly
bald, yet they form the most endur-
ing of races. The average madhouse
furnishes proof that long and thick
hair is not d sign Of intellectuality.
The easily-wheedled Esau was hairy,
while the mighty Cesar was bald.
"Long-haired men are generally weak
and fanatical, and men with scant
hair are the philosophers and states
men and soldiers of the world"

She Had Heard So.

The application of general princi-
pies to particular cases is SO nice a
matter that the wi5est of people
never attain to perfection in it.
Lucy, 3 years old, was playing with
a neighbor of her own age. All went
smoothly until some childish dispute
arose, when Lucy, regarding her lit
tie friend as the agggressor, slapped
her soundly.
Lucy's grandmother reproved her
for her rudeness and display of tenn
per, but the child clinched the argu-
ment by saying:
why, dan'mudder, dan'mudder,
don't 46ou know it does little dirls

Too Chicken-Hearted.

The effort to employ good-looking
young women as account collectors in
Chicago has not turned out very
profitable for the merchants who en-
ployed them. After fortnight's ex-
perience, three of the women became
engaged to men whom they tried to
dun, two of them married, and a few
of the others sympathized SO deeply
with the debtors that they warned
them when proceedings were insti-
tuted SO that the debtors might es-
cape.

A Substitute for CorSetS.

A certain woman who strongly adj
vOcatcs reform in dress declares
that "corsets have filled more graves
than whisky" and cynical wag re-
plies that 'Whisky is never put on the
bargain counter" The scientific
world has ever denounced the corset,
but wOman's world has ever declared
the impossibility Of relinquishing it.
Into the breach caused by this wide
diversity Of opinion steps the 'health
bodice" which will insure q vast
amount of comfort to any wearer,
whether the young mother, the grow
ing girl, or the woman who INDUCES
in the luxury of the tea-gOWn. 1t is
an idcalized slip bodice made of fine
white twill trimmed with embroidery,
bccOmingly full and soft over the
bust and bOned below with pliable
bones, which may be easily removed
when laundricd. A loose house gown
of any form is worn more comfort
ably over a bodice Of this sort than
with a stif1ly-bOned corset, allowing,
as it does, q more graceful play to the
curves of the figure and greater free
dom of motion. One is apt to take
cold by removing the corset when in
doors, and the health bodice will sup
ply a substitute at once comfort
able and prOtectiye.-Fr LeSlic's

Magnetic Concentrator.

A new ore concentration has been
devised, which operates by crushing
the material to about quarter Of an
inch in size, and which, exposed to
the action of powerful magnets, sep
arates the PARTICLES of iron ore. These
articles of ore are again crushed to a
finer state, and again exposed to mag
netic action, resulting in a concen-
tratei condition of the iron.

PRoTEcTIoNisM BEATEN AGAIN.
OF course no respectable papers are
making the assertion that the foreign
exporter Is pa ying the import duties tina.
this country levies on tin. bat the state.
ment is going the rounds all the same.
The tariff duty on tin is two and two
tenths cents per pound. and the normal
price Of tin Is about 3 cents pound SO
that the exporter would realize less than
cent per pound. Now, tin, with tariff,
commissions and expenses added comes
to the American consumer at s and 10
cents per pound, and II the above is true
the exporter can afford TO sell It at less
than cent; and yet with 200 or 300 pei
cent margin our American manufac-
turer whined that he was not able e
make It In competition with Welsh fac
tories.
There is obviously something untrue
here. II the Welsh factory is able Il
manufacture tin At lees than cen
per pound. surely there was enougl
margin for the American manufacture
in the old duty Of over $50 per cent. Blu
granting that the statement is tru
would the charltabls humsnitsrians o
the protectionist breed be willing to de
crease the wages Of the poor Wells
workingmen to starvation prices. o
worse still, reduce the wages Of th
workingmen Of the political tin mill
here TO the level Of the workingmen il

II what they have been saying hereto
} fore about the cost Of making tin Is true
one or other OF these results must follow
ether the Welsh laborer must starv
with tin at less than l cent per poun
! or the American iaborer must starve, c
both. because even 9 tariff duty Of nearl

ket when the Welshman pays the
duty.
The duty was increased on tin to
enable the tin maker here to pay higher
wages than the Welsh workipgmen
receive. Now, II the English capitalist
pays our tariff so that foreign tin can be
sold here just rs II there we're no tariff,
how will the competing American tin
maker pay American wagesl o.
course that statement does not
present the same difficulty to the mind
of tariff crank that it presents TO The
mind OF sensible man Nobody could
expect 1t to seem absurd to the man who
adds duty TO wool to make wooden goods
cheaper. and subtracts the duty from
sugar TO make sugar. cheaper. he pro
posed TO corral the "home market" on
tin, and now be says that the Britisher has
beaten him even at that by paying the
duty himself.
Figs AMI thistles grow on the same
tree, with protection cranks. But soon
the people will pass by and looking up
into that tree for fruit and finding only
thistles, they will command that It be

MAYOR ] NJ. CARSON, writing from
Washington to the Philadelphia Ledger,
says thai friends have cautioned Mr.
Blaine to admit nor deny nothing In re
gard to the next Presidential campaign,
but to allow matters to drift along, 80
that his friends should be free to take
advantage Of any emergency that might
arise in the National Republican
Convention. The Secretary was
reminded that his letter from Florence in
1888 alone prevented his nomination at
Chicago, AID he was earnestly admon.
ished not to repeat that experience.

TIM revival OF Foraker and the pro-
motion OF Clarkson are positive evil
denees Of what the Republican party
promises 10 the next canvass. Person
ally. these men are not worse than many
other modern Republican politicians Of
the Quay type, but because Of their
prominence and influence they stand for
more than their qualities, good or bad,
would warrant Both Of them
represent the worst elements In their
party, and both Of them came into prom
lnence by the use Of the most dis
reputable arts known to the political
demagogue aud corruptionist. Foraker

many prominent members Of his own
party and several prominent members OF
the Democratic party we're to be compro-
missed previous to the November election.
Clarkson was the member OF the trium-
virate Of Quay, Dudley and Claskson which
carried on the Harrisonisn campaign on
the Blocks OF Five system. They
were both suppressed by the sentiment
Of disgust which followed the publica-
cation Of their campaign methods and it Ii
not creditable toRepublicanism that they
are appearing on The scene again, though

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE.


To the Editor Of the EVENING JOURNAL.
SIR: In your issue Of the 25'h Rev. R .
s. Accoo is reported as saying that his
prominent positions and the call to the
passionate Of the Philadelphia church
aroused the jealousy of some of his
brethren, hence the ground of the charge
against him. No insinuation could be
more untruthful, nor aspersion more
unjust to band of brethren who treated
him with fairness and leniency in consid
ering his case. To say the least of his
statements, they add insult to injury
AID exhibit the absence Of spirit OF re-
pentance and thus aid in erecting bar
rier to readmission. for without repent
ance there Is no remission and without
abandonment of proven vicious habits,
there is no readmisson. Every mans
destiny is In his own hands.
