HARRY's RIVAL.
A Goat in . Nocturnal Prow1 smsshsd .
 Romance to Pieces.

Not long ago Bridgeport Conn, young lady who desired to got up with the lark, in order to go on an eloping tour. adopted the schoolboy's plan. and tho lover was to be on hand at daybreak to give tho signal
 The string used for the pedal com muuication was q stout cord, and one end was dropped out of the third story window into the back yard and tho other end. of course, was attached to. the damsel's toe. The legend runs that a goat of the William persuasion arose early next morning and wan dered into the yard.
 After eating up all the old sardinen tins, barrel slaves and broken crock cry, he found the string and took that i'll as desert. As soon as tho string was drawn taut the goat stood upon his hind legs and gave an impulsive jerk. The girl woke. The goat gave another sudden pull and the maiden jumped out of bed with a smothered cry of pain. Then she stopped down to detach the cord just as the ridicu- lous beast gave another violent jerk, and she nearly lost her equilibrium. and her toe, too. the cord cutting into the tender flesh.
 She sprang to the window and called down in a hoarse whisper:
 Stop pulling, Harry; I'll be down in minute"
 Then she made another effort to un- tic the cord but the persistent goat gavo his head several angry bobs. and each time the girl uttered cry of pain. Again she call into the dark Sess:
 Harry. if you don't stop jerking like that won't come down at all.
 She was answered by another say age pull. and the cry of anguish that escaped her brought her mother into the room with look of alright and lighted lamp. The young lady faint ed. the elopement was nipped in the bud and the disappointed maiden's toe was SOTO for month. Tho goat escaped.

Household Hints.

To drive nails or screws into hard wood dip the points into oil or grease.
 It is well to varnish an oil cloth twice year. and if you do. good one will last you as long us you want it to.
 Spots of grease may be effectually removed from the most delicate fabric by the application of dry buckwheat flour,
 Indian meal mixed with lemon juice or good cider vinegar Is said to be very soothing to hands roughened by cold or labor.
 Ammonia is a most useful household article. For washing windows brushes. and for performing many other ser vices. it becomes almost indispensabl to the careful housekeeper
 The Russian method of restoring tho luster 10 fur sacques or fur gar ments of any kind Is to heat rye flour as hot as you can bear your hand in it rub 1t into tho fur and let stand for a little while; then shake or brush it out thoroughly.
 X very good imitation of ground glass is produced by dissolving three tablespoonfuls of Epson salts in pint of warm water and applying 1t to tho glass with common paint brush. This answers admirably when a sort of screen Is wanted. The solution must be applied to the side of the glass which is not exposed to the weather.
 The spice poultice is growing favorite fin the sick room. It is pleas ant to use and easily made. Mix to- gether dry, one heaping teaspoonful each of ground ginger cinnamon. cloves and four Moisten with hot water until of proper consistency to spread Double and heat piece of old cotton, spread the plaster on 1t and cover wMh cheese cloth.

 The best way in which to clean hair brushes, says tho Popular Science News. is with spirits of ammonia, as its effect is immediate. No rubbing is required and cold water can be used just as successfully as warm. Take a teaspoonful of ammonia in quart of water; dip the hair part of the brush without wetting the ivory. and in a moment the grease is removed; then rinse in cold water; shake we'll and dry in the air, but not in tho sun. Soda and soap soften the brist les and invariably turn ivory yellow.

The Tarir tho Issue.

Senator Carlisle has recently been in New York. Asked while there whether the tariff would be the leading issue in 1899, he answered.:
 "I think so. It ought to be, and I sincerely hope that it will be- think the Democratic party would make a seri- ous m stake If it allowed the tariff ques- tion to be made second to the silver ques- tion or any other 1t is the real issue. The party is a unit on that question, while 6 on tho silver question 1t is divided That alone is one reason why the fight should be made with that for the main issue. I hope the silver question will be laid aside or made secondary, leaving the tariff as the dominant issue"

The Foreign Mark ct.

The McKinleyites take every occasion to belittle the foreign market, but all the same tho foreign market goes on proving it's value to our farmers Our total exports of beef, hog, and dairy products during Arril reached value of S9, ,536, ,o59, against exports in April 1890, of s9,379,7o The totals for the four months ending April 30 have in- creased from SAP, 14s, ,69+ for 1890 to $44, 346, 300 for 1891. The exports of breadstuffs during April were valued at SIP, 3s3, s27, against S15, 543,9 ,9l3 in same month last year. For the ten months ending April 30 the breadstuffs exported were valued at S97, ,626. 753, against S126, ITO, 2s9 the same time in 1890.
 Poor crops at home last year left q smaller surplus of breaGstuffs for ex- port than usual; but the foreign demand is now raising prices in the home mar kat

- Farmers should Study.

It is fact that cannot be disputed that farmers do not exercise their wits sufficiently in considering how they may widen tho range of their business. If they confine themselves to raising corn and wheat, and pork and beef, their market will always be a narrow one. If they would exercise their in- genuity in the same way that manu- lecturers and other business men arc constantly doing, in on effort to get up greater diversity of products, or to put old products up in new ways. they could widen their market almost in- definitely y.-Cincinnati Times.

Culture of Dwarf Trces.

French gardeners arc now obtaining tho same results as the Japanese in tho production Of dwarf trees, which arc in great demand, their methods arc kept as secret as thosa used in Japan. where one sees trees two and threo hundred years old which have been treated in such manner as to stunt their growth and to prevent them from attaining u night of moro than two feet at most.

Trees on the Farm.

It is much to be regretted that farm CTS do not take more interest in tree planting. Any person who has trav- elled extensively over the prairies can not have failed to notice the extreme badness of most of the farms. have seen hundreds which were not adorned with a tree of any kind though the land had been occupied for years. and 1 know of many more which boast of nothing but small orchard. generally at some distance from the house while the house itself is left at the mercy of sun and wind. uasheltered and un- ads~ned by any tree.

Simple Remedies.

Wet tobacco will relieve bee or wasp stings.
 For nausea lay a little pounded ics on the back of the neck.
 For neuralgia bruise horseradish and apply as poultice to the wrist.
 A couple of figs eaten before breals- fast are an excellent laxative, especially for children.
 When suffering from overstrained and tired eyes, bathe them in hot water several times a day.

Docs It Keep Wages High?

Protectionists coolly claim that protec- tion not only raises but that it makes wages continue to go higher and higher The tendency upward, they say, is per manent If these advocates of protec- tion will refer to the report of Carroll D. Wright, which he issued in 1883 as Labor Commissioner for tho State of Massachusetts. they will find some fig ures not much calculated to strengthen their case. Here are the wages in some of the protected industries of Massa- chusetts in 1860 and 1880:

SONG TO A CHILD.
Thou little blossom in Gods world,

Thou little blossom in Gods world, Thou child of spring-time suns and
 showers, Whose thoughts as white and pure are
 whorled
 About thy soul as leaves of flowers, Shun not caressing hands, that fain Would bless the gold about thy brow, Nor slight the love that longs in vain For such gift of God as thou. Be loving, as thou lovely art, To all who kneel at childhood's throne For, oh, how lonely is the heart That loves, and cannot love its own

Average In all industries. $500

When protectionists are putting forth their extravagant assertions about what protection has done for labor they ought to have tho decency to add, Except in Massachusetts.
 They have been figuring on the thing in Massachusetts with the above result. The State printer has put the fgures in- to type, and every body can read it No wonder that the old superstition that protection raises wages Is dying out among the workpeople of Massachusetts.

Canned Mr.ts

A German physician proposes that the manufacturers of preserved meat should be compelled to stamp their cans with legible date mark. For a year or so, he says. canned meat may remain perfectly wholesome. but after that it deteriorates in way defying alike precaution and explanation.

Tho trade winds which had been so
proptious to Columbus on his outward
voyage We're equally adverse to him on
