but declined to be interviewed. He
seemed to be in fairly good health In
the course of the day he called upon
Messrs. Farnum, Reardon & Co.,

that there was not the slightest mys-

Boston knew perfectly well that he
was going from Chicago when he did

AMERICA is draining away the lopu-
lation of some parts of Italy with re-
markable rapidity. The exodus is most
marked in the Polesine region, on the
20 near Parma, where 400 out OF 1000
families have emigrated this year.
Ninety-five families left Crespino to-
gether last week. Gavello. which a
year ago had S. 900 inhabitants. now has
but soo Polesine has lost thirty-seven
families who all departed at one time.
The movement from Rovigo on the
Adige is SO extensive that special
trains are run to Genoa daily to dccom.
modate the emigrants. The effect OF
SO many departures is beginning to oe
shown in an alarming manner. Hus-
bandry and trade languish for lack OF
employees. The authorities would glad
ly adopt some method of checking the
movement if they could.

Court~hip by Dsyliyht,

Mrs. Dr. Loagshore Potts recently delivered lecture on tho important subject of "Love and Marriage" ir. which, among other startling proposi- uons. she advanced tho suggestion that courting should bs done In tho day. time, or, if it had to be done at night. the young man should not stay later than 10 o'clock. "A man does not buy horse at night" said tho doctor. and why should he select a wifs in the dark?"
 The question is plausibly put; for. in truth. marriage Is too oftcn ieapi in the dark-and quite as ofton. periAtps, the woman leaps as darkly as tho man. But the lecturess overlooks the doni- nant fact that love Is blind. at any rate; So that daylight cour,ing. even though as convenient as tho night article, might fail to improve the wooer's judg- mont of his bargain. He might make no better choice oven in the glaro of the monday sun.

Apples Versus Learning.

About n century ago. when tho com- missioners who had in charge the selection of a site for Bowdoin College were attending to this duty they pitched upon New Gloucester Me. as combining moro advantages than any other place they had visited, but the owner of the land refused to part with 1t if 1t was to be used as the site of q college, though willing enough to sell 1t if 1t was to be put to any other use. The reason that he gave was that tho students would steal the apples in m orchard in which la took great pride, So it seems that this Is tho reason why New Gloucester is no,ei for it's apples rather than as being tho seat of Bow do:n College. --Portland Transcript

WANT A HAT TRUST.

An Effort to Combine All tho Wool H at
 Manufacturer - McKinley's Duties on
 Hats.
 A scheme has been on foot to combins all the wool hat makers in the country into a gigantic trust. Officers were elect ed, and for a time everything seemed to go well, but more recently there has been hitch somewhere, and it is even announced that the trust has fallen through.
 In the meantime let tho people observe what Mckinley did to make hat trust possible. The Mckinley duties on wool hats show sharp increase upon the old rates. The duties in both the old law and in the present law are so-callcd com pound duties-that is, there is a specific duty Of so much per pound and an ad va!orem duty in addition. Thus on hats valued at 30 cents a pound or less the old duty was 10 cents a pound and 25 per cent ad valorem. the compound duty being equal to an ad valorem duty of 6S per cent The corresponding Mckinley duty is l6}4 cents per pound and 30 per cent, the two duties here being eQuiya- lent to an ad valorem duty of s5 per cent
 Hats of tho next class are those val ucd at more than 30 and not more than 40 cents pound. The old duty on this grade was equivalent to 65 per cent and the Mckinley duty 90. The next grade of hats under the old law was that val ucd at between 40 and GO cents pound. The Mckinley law makes this class stop at 50 cents and adds class covering those between 50 and 60 cents per pound. Thus under the old law hats in the class between 40 and 50 bore an equivalent ad valorem duty of Fl per cent, and under tho Mckinley law the equivalent ad valorem is l0l per cent On hats worth between 8 and 60 ccnts the equivalent in the old law was 6S per cent in the Mckinley law it Is ll2 per cent
 The next class in both laws extends from 60 to so cents a pound-the ad va- lorem equivalent being = per cent. and tho Mckinley ad valorcm 100 per cent. The last class in both laws covers hats valued at above so cents q pound The old tariff levied duty here which was equal to 69 per cent; and Mckinley made only a slight advance in this high est class Of hats, his equivalent ad va lorem being Il per cent. Having gotten above the range of the poorer class of buyers, he saw no good reason for in- creasing the duty very much.
 The equivalent ad vaorem duties hero given are obtained by combining the pound duty and the ad valorem rate and calculating them upon the value of hats imported. Almost no wool hats have been imported for some years, Even in 1882 it was stated before the Tariff Com mission that only S6o0 worth was im- ported. At the same time q hat manu- facturer stated that the manufacturers did not favor high duty. on hats, and that they were even wiling to see hats come in free if they could have their raw materials free. He said that the manu- lecturers had "no trouble with the wool hats imported into the country at all. Y"
 Yet at this late day Mckinley builds higher the tariff wall against foreign hats and prepares the way for trust

Game the Difficulty.
 An insolvent calf would seem to be new thing under the sun, yet that such a curious anomaly did once exist is seen from an anecdote of the late Captain William kilborn. of this town says the Bridgtown News. The worthy captain-or Captain Bill" as he was familiarity known7had keen sense of the humorous Gnd likewise dry way of presenting whatever struck him as ludicrous. Well. many years ago in the good old times, when neighbor dickered with neighbor in almost every variety of deal. and you lend mo and I'll lend you" was the popular thing especially in sparsely settled districts 1t was the custom whenever man killed a "beef erittcr' of any descrip- ton for some ncighbor who was to kill his victim to borrow . quarter of meat until such time as his own was slaugh- tered.
 Once upon q time townsman of his. while calves were being killed in his neighborhood borrowed just a quarter O veal' in that way of one neighbor and another until he had se- cured five quarters. By and by came the day of reckoning, when the man's calf was sacrificed. Of course there were not quarters enough to go round to pay his loans Captain Bill heard of the slaughter of the innocent. and assuming that quizzical expression characteristic of him when secretly amused, and giving one of his peculiar ahems, he raised shout among the bystanders by exclaiming, Tell ye what, gents, that ere calf died insolv- ent."

Two hundred and forty words n minute, four words every second is . rate of speed which seems almost be- yond the power of articulation, yet that was the measure of tho torrent of eloquent exposition and appeal poured forth in St. Paul's Church last Monday by Rev.

Muscular Kheuinafi

Muscular rheumatism is more simple and common than any other sort If 1t can be properly called rheumatism). and can be treated succe 4sfully at home. Any good liniment can be used with rubbing as vigorous as can be borne by the patient. but I prefer oil of wintergreen externally and intern ally. Externally, rub 1t ia we'll and then wrap up the part affected with flannel. Internally. take every two hours from two to five droys of 1t in 2 little water until the pain lessens.
 In all cases of rheumatism cooling laxative medicines should be used. They are better than active cathartics l would recommend laxative mineral waters or salts, either Epson, Glauber, or Rochelle, preferably Chamber.
 Better than all remedies, let me ad- wise prevention. Keep dry and warm and we'll protected as much as po ,si- ble. but in case of severe exposure to cold and wet, as soon as possible take bath in hot water with thorough rub bing. Put salt in the water so that 1t is almost weak btine. and rub down af erward with alcohol.
 Drink two cups of good hot tea and go to bed betw cen woolen blankets, or put on good warm dressing gown aud toast yourself before the fire You may consider this troublesome but let me assure you that you should ward off an attack of rheumatism, especially as the second attack comes more readily than the first, Once you have rheumatism and you are pred'sposed to 1t for life -Nelc Fork Ijorld.

About Firo.

It is certain that fire has been known to man since the earliest times, but it was not until the end of the last con- tury that anything like satisfactory explanation of it was given. At first man worshipped it. It is so mysteri- ous, so powerful for good and evil. that wo cannot wonder Ut this. Sacred fires were kept burning for hundreds of years in some parts of tho earth.
 Later it was suggested that fire is one of tho clements of which all things are made up. the other three elements being air. earth and water. These are the four elements of Aristotle. His idea seems to have been not that those things as such were to be found in the different forms of matter. but that they rsprseent tho principal properties of

THE FOREIGN MARKET.
Why Our Manufacturers Sell So Little Abroad-Lack of Entsrpr.se-Why For eigners Boat Us.

Why Our Manufacturers Sell So Little
 Abroad-Lack of Entsrpr!se-Why For
 eigners Boat Us.
 While our manufacturers are in the habit of leaning upon the Government to protect them in the secure possess on of the home market 1t is evident that they exert themselves very little to ob- tain market In foreign countries The present interest in the subject of recip- rocity with South America and the West Indies calls out frequent communica- tions from American merchants doing business there, which show that our manufacturers are very remlss In push ing their trade in those markets and in studying the wants of the people tn ,re.
 A correspondent writes from Kings ton, Jamaica as follows:
 "Kingston merchants told me that as yet American manufacturers do not cater to the tastes of the islanders For instance, a dealer showed me some Aus tran shoes which were selling well. A few of American make which he had in stock had stayed there month in and month out. The Austrian shoes had very pointed toes, the solo being shaped like fat iron, but they were what the natives liked. The shoes from the States were much handsomer, better made, and superior in every way. But they were not the right shape, and were much higher in price. Cheapness is the great desideratum. Everything must be cheap and look well. no matter if 1t does not wear any time at all. The negroes would rather have a shoe with a paper sole that would not last drought the first rainstorm and pay dollar for 1t than pay four for one they could not wear out in months.
 Another writer tells, in the New York trade journal Hdr1i,oore how British manufacturers accommodate themselves to the wants of tho people for whom they make goods. "For all parts of the world,= he says, "they manufacture goods with reference to the local de- mand. laying British preferences entirely aside. It would be difficult to buy & macintosh in England similar to the great mass of those sent over for the market of the United States; every Choa woman in Eastern Peru wears a peculiar shawl knit in Manchester in exact imitation of the old cotton shawls which tho Indians had for ages previ- ousiy made with their own hands; and the trapiches, or sugar mills, for the Amazon Valley are designed after those formerly constructed by the natives out of the hardwoods of their forests"
 Protection has operated to make our manufacturers depend nt upon the home market and to make them ignore the foreign market. It has tended to make them lose confidence in themselves and to distrust their ability to meet the "pauper made goods" of Europe in sue cessful competition in the markets Of South America and other countries They need to regain the spirit of enter prise and conquer a foothold for them selves in foreign markets. They have the advantage of the cheapest and best labor in the world There is thus no excuse for shutting down factories when the home market has been supplied, and standing i'd 6 till consumption oyertakes production
