Most people let their pianos 90 until
the ear cannot tolerate them, but piano
requires constant attention, and where
the changes Of the season are marked
ought TO be tuned at least four times a
year. Where the tuning Is occasional
and not regular, either the spring after
the fires are extinguished, or the early
winter, after they are well under way, is
the best time for tuning, for then the
piano is least subject to climatic changes.

Immersed I'm Molten Metal and Not Bnrned
But few men have ever fallen into a

few trifiing burns, yet John Adams, of
Tacoma. did ii the other night He is

Some of his fellow worlmen saw him

His hands were badly burned, but other

his mnmnn Had Nerve.

Among the many callers at the late
residence Of General Johnston was a
well dressed woman, who drove up in a
handsome equipage and asked 10 see a
representative Of the family. She would
not give her name, but she told DIR. Ben
Johnston, who perceived her, that she
wished a lock of General Johnston's hair
for her collection.
Il have" she said with entire self pos
session, "a lock of General Lees hair, a
lock of General Grants and lock Of
General Sheridan's, and ] would like a
lock Of General Johnstons.
As soon as DR.. Johnston recovered his
self possession he told his caller that her
remarkable request could not be granted.
She left regretfully, not on account Of
her request, hut Of his refusal.-Wash-

Some American and English
Prices.


During the month ending January Il,
1891, the price Of 6ix64 American made
cotton prints was . 1916 cents per ward
at the Fall River Rhode Island) mills.
This was the lowest price ever reported.
Since then there has been a recovery to
, cents per yard.
American freetraders told ms that sthe
infamous Mckinley bill" would add to
the cost Of every ward Of calico bought
by a poor servant girl," or "poor me-
chanic's wife" OF a poor farmers daugh-
ter" always using the adjective poor,
though the American servant girl is rich
when compared TO her European sister,
and the American mechanics wife and
the American farmers daughter live in
a luxury Of which their European con-
geners arc ignorant
But since the bin has come into opera
tion and the plainness Of the fact of un-
increased prices has become palpable
the A merican free trader has amended
tAt' t4N-NAAAihs AAt loh ttlie uS liidl. now
ever low prices may be made under a
protective tariff, the cost Of material will
be less than il now is as soon as the tariff
is repealed.
Let us see. The cost Of printed cottons
al the protected mills Of Fall River was
less than 3 cents per yard during the
month ending January Il, 1891. Far
Trade, an English journal, makes note Of
this, and adds that every yard Of cotton
prints turned out Of English mills for
expectation to the United States during
the year 1850 cost 4.07 cents per yard
this being without reference to cost of
ocean freight or tariff duties.
Now, il under protection cotton prints
sell at less than cents, while the same
goods sell at more than cents under free
trade, why should we repeal protection
Is it not well to let well enough alone? =?
And we seem to be doing well enough.

The recent death of the ''poet" Close,
in England. recalls the curious circum-
stances under which he received a pen
sion. He was recommended for a pen
sion by Lord Palmerston in a fit Of good
nature, at the instance of a friend Of
Mr. Close. The alleged poet was a mere
writer Of doggerel, and after much dis
cussion the pension order was revoked.
Lord Palmerston considered his blunder
an excellent Joke.

The coweateher Carried oTher Colt.

A valuable mare and colt escaped from
the barnyard of Abish Hayes, the noted
stock raiser, of Cincinnati, recently, just
as a freight train came laundering down
toward an adjacent crossing. The colt
got in the way of the train and was
caught on the cowcatcher, in despite Of
the mares anxious neighing. The long
train could not be stopped until it had
run the better part Of a mile Then the
colt rolled off unhurt The mare had
wildly leaped culverts and crossing
fences, and was almost mp with the en-
CINE when her unharned colt fell safely
down the side Of the track.--Cor. Phila-

valna Of a Home Market.

The American Protective Tanf Leagues
correspondent at Duncan, No, Mr.. w. J.

lowing interesting letter on " The Value

There In this country known as me
sWheelers.' which Is. however only
brsprh If the Alliance. These folks are
continually groWling about the times, the
prices. and many other things, which
thew don't know anything about, and
couldn't suggest remedy even If their
charges were true And they are coniin-
nallv harping on the donations OF land
which the Government has made TO the
railroad companies 70 encourage them to
extend their roads. In fact, il seems
that they envy everything that is pros
porous.
"A close examination Of the following
COMPARISON will show the condition the
early Western farmer was in before We
had a protective tariff, and in this part
Southwestern Missouri, the closest mark
ct was St. Louis. Il viii also show how
much better our condition is now since
We have a market at home and a railroad
70 transport our products on.
erhe average farmer in those days the
ftiesl, only had small two-horse turn
ing plows, and bull tongue. Some had
large grub plows, which, required six or
seven yoke Of oxen TO pull them, hence
he had 10 borrow all the cattle in the
country TO break his new ground, and
then loan his cattle TO his neighbor to
break his, which made it very late be
fore be could get his crop in the ground.
ave will count the cost and profit in
raising eight acres Of wheat in those days
and to-day. First, it required at least
ten days for breaking owing TO the plow
he had 70 use, there being no factory
made plows; Eve days for sowing, for he
never saw drill When he goes to
harvest, !. will require about six days to
cradle and bind up the sheayes, for with

binders.
IT will take the whole family one
week 10 Gail or tramp ii out and another
week 10 wash and dry il, for when they
tramped il out with the horses they had
20 wash il.
As St. Louis was the nearest market,
they had 10 haul it there before they
could sell il. This required iour trips Of
two weeks each. They got 81 bushel,
which would make Si09, considering the
eight acres 10 produce 100 bushels. When
