There is no reason why crayfishes should
not be introduced very profitably in the
fresh waters all over the United States,
and it is not unlikely that the fish commits
sion will take steps to accomplish this end.
The crayfish closely resembles the lobster
in appearance, its meat being much more
delicate in flavor, and it would be very
nice indeed if the streams and ponds in
every state of the Union could be stocked
with this huge species, which is very pro-
life, and can be made at home anywhere.
An interesting burrowing variety of a
small sort is very plentiful on the Poto-
mac meadows near Washington.
1t lives in holes, with bottle shaped en-
largements at the bottom, where the ami
NAL can usually be found by digging. In
the spring each one builds over its burrow
a sort of chimney six or eight inches high,
composed of Jumps of mud, which it fetches
and piles ingeniously on top of one another
in the shape of dome, closed at the top

Drinking Iced Water.

1t is pity that with our fondness for
copying Old World vices, small and great,
we should not be willing to adopt some of
their virtues as well. In the matter of
drinking iced water the native American
is a constant marvel to the European At
some of the hotels across the water designed
to cater to our citizens abroad the notice
is broadly published on menu cards, circu-
lars and even in newspaper notices, lice
water served for drinking purposes" The
average German landlord has only lately
begun TO understand that his American
guests want water to drink, and he has by
no means recovered from his astonished
horror at the quantity consumed as bev-
erage.
A woman who spent a winter in Munich
at a boarding house tells of coming down
one cold morning to breakfast and asking
for glass of water The servant brought
it, round eyed with wonder, but docile.
As it was placed before the guest the pre-
siding fraulein caught sight of the glass.
"Oh!" she said quickly, don't drink that;
it is fresh from the faucet Send it to me
and will warm it," and she reached for
the hot water kettle. 1t was with difficulty
that she could be made to believe that per-
sons over here drank iced water winter
and summer alike II wonder you live at
all, she commented feelingly, ''if you treat
your stomachs like that."-Her Point of
View in New York Times

"a Rather Slight Exarceration. %

The New York Press, the high tariff
organ, had beautiful picture in its is
sue OF July 30, declaring that matters in
France earn only s.. so per week, whereas
in the United States matters earn thirty
dollars per week. Concerning this state
ment a halter of Danbury, Conn. him
self believer in high tariff, writes to
The Press as follows: 81 see in today's
Press, in the Tariff Pictures rather
slight exaggeration in regard to the
wages of hatters. There are a good
many matters in France who make more,
say from fifty to sixty francs Cten to
twelve dollfSs), a week. OF course they
are first class men and get wages &C
cordingly.
Now let us look at the American hat
ter. The average wages of silk halter
in New York or elsewhere are fifteen
dollars a week. Some weeks. it is
true, they make twenty-five to thirty
dollars. But how often does that hap
pen? Maybe ten to fifteen times a year.
and then they have week after week
when they have nothing to do at all.
The same with the felt halter. The
maker, or hat sizer, if he averages twelve
dollars a week, year in and year out, is
doing well. Now next to him, the
man who presses or does what is called
finishing in our trade parlance, IL he
averages fifteen dollars week, can
also say that he has done WELL Next is
the curler, who years ago made very
large wages. He, too, has come down to
the same level as the above named fell
low tradesmen."
A ''rather slight exaggeration," to be
sure, but The Press doesn't believe in
telling big ones.

Pleasant VILLAGES.

The villages of New England are among
the pleasantest in the world, and the chief
secret of their charm is summed up in one
word: Trees. The people who laid them
out, century or two ago had the good
sense to plant few score of young trees
about the green and along the streets
Now, look at them Glorious elms arch the
streets and envelop the place in shade
The meanest cottage is pleasant and pic
turesque if it stands beneath fine old
tree. The poorest village is good to live in
If it nestles under giant trees. Plant trees
Plant them round the schoolhouse. Plant

When the tariff shuts ont goods en-
tirely it is always such goods as poorer
people buy; rich people buy what suits
their tastes, whatever the price NAV be.
An illustration of this is found in our
imports of carpets. The carpets i'm
ported in the fiscal year 1890 came in at
an average value of S1.16 yard The
treasury report shows that the average
value for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1891, was $2.0S yard.
But the report gives still more inter
esting insight into the workings of the
Mckinley duty. One part of it gives an
extended comparison of the imports for
the nine months from October, 1890, to
June 80, 1891. with those of the same
months in the previous year. The Nc
kinley tariff went into effect on Oct. 6
last year. and the imports of carpets
from Oct. to June 80 We're valued at
e2.41 yard.
The same thing is shown in cotton
cloth. That which came in under nine
months of the Mckinley law was valued
at 13i cents yard as against II % cents
for the corresponding nine months under
the old law
These figures were gotten up by the
treasury department at the cost of much
labor and money to show the beautiful
workings of the Mckinley tariff law
What they do show is that the rich are
going on buying European goods while
the POOR are shut up to the tender mer-
cies of the home market" plastered
over as it is with tariff trusts and com
binations.
These figures explode one of the most
deeply cherished superstitions of the
high tariff cranks. They say that when
you put up the tariff the foreigner will
reduce his prices in order to get into our
market. and in this way he will pay our
tariff taxes The figures just quoted go
to show that the foreigner is not doing
any such thing. They show that he is
contir uing to sell high priced goods to
the rich people of America. while the
poorer class are simply left.

the FLOW OF GOLD.

HOE tAs Tariff Depsenses the Priss q
Our Farm Produce In Europe.
The great expectation of our wheat 70
Europe has caused some fear as to the
rate of exchange. since premium has
already been placed on gold bars and
COIN by the banks of England and
France.
Now this simple little statement has
in it an important meaning for the
American farmer, and should enlighten
him as to one of the hidden evil effects
Of the tariff.
A premium on gold means that more
wheat must be given to get it; in other
words. it depresses the prices of wheat.
But why did these banks find it neces-
sary to put premium on gold? Let any
wheat grower look at the tables of i'm
ports which were recently published by
the treasury department to show how
the Mckinley law has worked. For the
nine months extending from Oct. l, 1890,
to June 80, 1891, there was heavy fall
ing off in many classes of goods that we
have been buying from Europe. and
our high tariff organs have been print
ing tle figures showing these reductions
with the utmost satisfaction, claiming
stupidity enough that "Europe's loss is
our gain"
In the first nine months of the McKin-
lty law manufactures of wool fell off
s14, 600, 900; cotton lacings. edgings, ETC..
81, zoo, 900; manufactures of fax, hemp.
jute, ETC., s., roc, 900; hats, bonnets, etc.
s., 900, 900, seeds, 81 500, 900; manufac-
lures of silk. Sl,700, 900: buttons, ST.
200, 900; corsets, S720. 600; fancy articles,
s926, 900. Tin plate increased by $13, 600.-
900, but it has fallen off enormously since
the Mckinley tax took effect on July l.
Our imports of plates in June reached
s., 016,000 worth, and in July they fell
to 1926, 1888 worth.
These figures show that we are refus-
ing, thanks to our McKinleyism, to take
the very things which Europe has to Of
fer MS III payment for our farm products,
and Europe is therefore compelled to
trench upon her gold supply in order to
make payment. But Europe needs her
gold and will not willingly part with it.
Hence the price of gold begins to rise
Just so soon as it becomes necessary to
send gold here to pay for our produce.
Thus our farmers are compelled to
lake a lower price for their produce
than they would if we allowed Europe
to pay US in goods Europe has an
abundance of these, and they are so
cheap that our protected manufacturers
quake and tremble every time anybody
talks about lowering the tariff to let
them come in; and they are the very
kinds of goods that our people want
Il we take them in large amounts
there will be no need for a premium on
gold in London and Paris. and our wheat
will bring full value

how can the tariff cheaper goods,
since is very purpose is to cut off COM
petition? If it is competition that they
