WHAT FREEDOM HAS NOT DONE
FOR THE NEGRO.

One thing, however, freedom has
not brought the colored people any
nearer to the whites. Social inter-
course is strictly confined to business,
unless where the negro is domestic
servant and is far less frequent and
easy than in the days OF slavery.
Then in the home establishment and
on the best planta tions-plantations
like that Dabney estate in Mississippi
of which so pleasing picture was
lately given in Mrs. Snedes' book
even the field hands were on familiar
terms with the master and mistress,
while the children of both colors
played together. This has entirely
ceased. In some states the negro is
allowed to enter the same street cars
or railroad cars; in some he is less
rigidly than in others keep apart in
places of public resort. But every
where in the South he is confined to
schools and colleges of his own race;
he worships in his own churches; he
mingles in none of the amusements,
he is admitted to none of the social
or industrial organiza tiOnS, which
white people, even the humblest of
them, enjoy or form. Most signif-
cant of all, his blood is never mixed
with theirs. The intermarriage of
the races is forbidden by law in all
or nearly all the Southern states, as
we'll as in some Western states; but
legal prohibition was scarcely needed,
for public sentiment is universally OPP
posed to such unions. Those illicit
relations of white men with colored
women which were not uncommon
in the days of slavery have almost
wholly disappeared and it is now a
rare thing for child to be born with
parents of different colors. No inter
mediate race grows up to link the
other two together; for though there
are mulattoes and quadroons, born
under the old state of things, they
are all reckoned with the negroes

THE GOLD CURE FOR DRUNKEN
NESS.

The fall and death Of Colonel John
F. Mines, while producing great
shock on account OF his prominence
in literary circles and as an advocate
of the Kelley cure, as well as the gal
liant fight he seemed to make against
his disease, cannot affect the public
appreciation of my discovery, except
among those whose only informa-
ton on the subject was derived from
his article in October number of the
North American Review. Of the 700
patients now at Dwight under treat
ment, not 5 per cent are there
through any other agency than their
own personal knowledge OF cures,
ranging from one to ten years. The
fact that friends and neighbors have
received the Kelley treatment and Sc
cured, as far as human knowledge
can estimate, permanent and lasting
cures is the convincing argument.
The Kelley cure has advanced slow
ly, without advertisement except
that of cured men, from one patient,
twelve years ago, till now the aver
age attendance is as above. About
the beginning of the present year the
Chicago tribune, after thorough IN
vestigation, opened its columns to
ex-patients for the relation of their
personal experiences, and thus sue
ceeded in attracting the attention Of
the literary world and placing in
formation as to the cure and the in
stitution in the minds of the reading
public. This information, taken ad-
vantage of, has now placed cured
men in almost every city, town, and
hamlet in the United States, as well
as many foreign countries. The in
dubitable evidences of these cures re-
main and will always be monuments
of my discovery, making the Kelley
institute the Mecca OF the liquor
and opium habitues-[Dr. Leslie E.
Kelley, in North American Review

THE CARE OF A FURNAC E FIRE.

The furnace fire should be shaken
down and raked perfectly clear in the
morning. A few shovelfuls of coal
should be put on and all the draughts
opened, writes Maria ParlOa in her
department in the December Ladies
Home Journal. The ashes should
then be taken up. AS soon as the
coal begins to burn well and the fire
looks clear at the bottom, put in
enough coal to come almost to the
top of the hre-pot Keep the
draughts open until all the gas has
burned off; then close them, and
later, /: the FIRE be too hot, open the
checks. Except in extremely cold
weather this is all the attention that
ought to be necessary through the

A SERMONET ON SMOKING.
First, arguments for smoking:

First, arguments tor smoking:
1t is said to be a pleasure and COM
fort. This is claimed by smokers.
But it must be confessed that it is
low kind OF pleasure-animal, not in
tellectual or spiritual.
Again, it is said to be social. When
one is with smokers it seems social
to take smoke with them. But if
one does not smoke he is not likely
to be in the company of smokers !;
and it is easy to say: II do not
smoke" This is d sufficient excuse
and no breach of politeness. These
are the only arguments for smoking
we have ever heard. What are the
arguments against it?
1. 1t is injurious to health. To-
bacco is a poison and it requires
constant effort of nature to throw
off its effects. Smokers take disea ses
more readily than others and dis
eases are more likely to prove fatal.
Probably smokers shorten their lives
FIVE or ten years. Gen. Grant
brought on a cancer which was ex-
ceedingly painful and it shortened his
life.
2. Smoking Injuries ones good
looks. 1t produces a sallow COM
plexion and dull. yellowish eyes. A
smoker has not a clear, beautiful
complexion.
8. 1t is costly habit. The aver
age smoker will use up in life time,
with the interest on the money, three
thousand dollars-enough to buy a
comfortable home
4. 1t is filthy habit. One can't
smoke in the presence of ladies or
gentlemen. A respectable lady will
have nothing to do with a Young
man who smokes. She does not
wish to be tied up for life to man
from whom continually emanates
the odor of tobacco. Many wom-
an has poor health or goes to a pre-
mature grave because her husband
smokes. And children often suffer in
health and looks because their father
smoked.
5. It's associations are bad. Let
one go into a smoking car and he
finds filth, profanity and often card
playin. and the Intoxicating bottle
This is one of the reasons why smok-
ers are more likely to drink
6. Itinjures ones prospects in life.
Besides the expensiveness of the hab-
it, preference is nearly always given
to young man who does not smoke.
This is more especially true of the re-
sponsible positions in life. Many
will not employ at all a young man
who smokes.
Z. Smoking grieves parents and
good people. And who can doubt
that it is displeasing to God?
1t may be objected that there are
respectable and good people who
smoke. 1t is to be regretted that
this is true. But nearly all such re-
greet it and would strongly advise
the young never to smoke. The same
arguments apply to the use of tobac-
co in any form.
In view of the injurious effects of
the use of tobacco, will not every boy
and young man most solemnlv pledge
that as long as life lasts he will never
use tobacco in any form? May the
Lord help you to take this pledge
and keep it.

A TARIFF COMPARISON.

A Comparison of the Old Tariff, the Mills
Bill, and the Mckinley Law-McHinley-
ism Reduced to Adj acknowledgement
Duties Simpiified-A Tariff Study For
Tariff Inquirers.
The average of duties under tariff
law is much simpler matter to calcu-
late than many people suppose. The
average is not gotten by taking the
duty on each separate article, adding
these up, and dividing the result by the
number of articles. 1t is much shorter
process. The total value of all dutiable
articles imported being known, the
total amount of duties collected upon
them is simply calculated as certain
percentage of that value. In this way
we reach the result, So often stated,
that under the old tariff tax the average
duty was AZ per cent. This was the
average for 1887; for 1889 the average
was somewhat above IS per cent, the
dutiable imports for that year being
valued at S4S4, $50, 76S, and the duties
collected being $500, $40, $50. What the
average is under the Mckinley law no
body knows or can know until the
figures of imports and of duties for
given time are known. Senator Car
Isle has ventured to predict that the
average will be about 60 per cent.
The main difficulty in understanding
just how high duty is, arises from the
fact that when duty is given as so
much per pound or per yard we must
first know the price of the pound or the
yard before we can know whether the
duty is high or low. For example,
when we read in the tariff law that tin
bars are to pay duty of cents a
pound after July /, 1898, we do not
know whether to regard this as high
duty or as low one, unless we know
the price of tin. When we find that the
price of our imports in 1890 was 1917
cents per pound we easily determine
that the duty of 4 cents is equal to 20
per cent. ad valorem, or 20 cents or the
dollar, which is certainly not high
duty as duties go,
Such a calculation of all the articles
under the tariff schedules has been
made by Mr.. J. A. Lindquist and has
been published by the Reform Club, of
New York. This pamphlet serves as a
sort of tariff dictionary in which one
can find the ad valorem equivalents of
the duties on all the articles where a
specific or a compound duty is laid.
The pamphlet is called Comparison
Item by Item" 1t gives in parallel col
umns the duty on each article under
the old law, the same as proposed by
the-Mills bill, the present Mckinley
duty, and the ad valorem equivalent
of each. The articles in each schedule
are given together and the duties are
given in adjoining columns.
The way this comparison seems TO
bring out the iniquities of the Mckinley
tariff law may be seen from an extract
from the tobacco schedule. In the fol-
lowing table the column for the Mills
bill Is omitted. the duties being the
