The Buffalo of Australia.

The wild Buffalo of Australia is re- markable for his heavy corrugated horns, almost four inches thick and square at the base. On account of the toughness of his hide, this animal! is difficult to kill. An ordinary cart ridge makes no impression upon him, and the Buffalo hunter must use ex- tra heavy leaden bullets to bring him down. Possibly this quality will have the happy result of preserving the Aus tralian buffalo for 8 more prolonged career of usefulness than our own late lamented American species has en- joyed.--Kate Fields Washington.

A NEW M'KINLEY TRUST
THE TABLE GLASSWARE MEN
 HAVE ORGANIZED.

q Trust to Enjoy Mckinley Spoils-McKin-
 ley's Big Advance of Duties Gives the
 Trust Good Thing-Our Exports of
 Glassware Prove the Duty Not Neces-
 sary.
 The makers of table glassware have completed the trust they have been building ever since last December. Me kinley gave these men such handsome increase of duties that they at once de- termined to get together" and appro- priate the good things which Mckinley had so generously placed in their power.
 Even before the famous Mckinley bill became a law it was said that tho manu- lecturers had in view combination of some kind. This fact was stated during the debates in Congress last year; but the Mckinleyites went ahead in defiance of such information, regarding 1t as but another free trade attack on American industry" and made large increase In the duties.
 Here is table giving the old and new rates of duty on articles made by this Mckinley trust:

Smoke Blossom.

Did you ever see a smoke bios som?" asked an old smoker. Well the way to make them is this: Blow a ring in still atmosphere and then wa.cnit. The smoke making the ring revolves toward the center, as you look toward it. While it is floating away part of the ring shoots away from the rest, forming a loop. When the two sides of this loop come al- most together the loop seems to burst at it's apex, and q ily-shaped blossom appears there. Sometimes this blos- som will break up into smaller loops, and they will produce smaller smoke blossoms, as did the larger one. I cannot account for it, but smoke ring invariably bears these queer blos- some. New York Sun.

amount of commodities. They arc quito content to save their labor, and will even invent curious and cunning labor saving machinery in order to spare themselves unnecessary toll.
 If the protection theory is sound then Elias Howe, the inventor of the sewing machine, was great foe to women, since he made it possible for one woman to do the work of ten: and the inventors of tho self-binding reaper did great harm to the farmers by making it possi- ble to reap their grain with one-tenth of the labor needed under the old system.
 No; the best system is not that which gives us more labor, but more goods, more food and clothing. The shortest road to these is the systom requiring the least labor. When men arc let alone they take that road of themselves; pro- lection only steps in to make men take the longest road, since Tn it they will have to take more steps in order to reach the same point

Not Up to Modern Times.

Young Chizzel is a rising sculptor. Not long ago he finished statue of Justice, and took his friend Gargoyle to see 1t. The work was well done, and young Chizzel took a pardonaple pride in displayins it to his friends.
 What do you think of thatg' he asked, as he uncovered it. Gargoyle made a critical inspection, and then said:
 1t s all right, except one thing
 What $ that?" asked Chizzel, anx- iously.
 "The scales"
 "The scales? Why, she's holding them out correctly, isn't she?"
 'l don't criticize the way she's hold ing them, but the fact that she is hold ing them at all, "
 Il don't understand you. Gargoyle. All statues of Justice represent her holding pair of scales in her hand"
 That may be, and 1t is just there that l expect n close observer like sVai SSii to pt iifoit ttNt to Niit iatts than to follow blindly the precedents of other artists"
 "l fail to catch your drift yet, Gar goyle,"
 Well, this is my criticism, then. In modern times. Justice does not hold the scales in her hands; she wears them over her eyes. Smith, Gray X Cos Monthly.

Not Much to Ask.

A stout, choleric-looking man hur- ried into a street-car on day when the rain was pouring in torrents, and gared angrily about, evidently much displeased that there was no seat for him, although there were plenty of other people, clutching at the straps, or swaying about, with more or less cheerful countenances.
 With a sort of displeasure the man planted himselfn front of meek and unoffending spinster who was squeezed tightly into one corner of the car, and placed his umbrella, from which was running a perfect stream of water, dir ectly on one of her feet.
 She looked up at him in mild dis may, but he stared straight over her head, with 6 most unpleasant expres- sion.
 After a moment or two, she said in a clear though perfectly courteous tone.
 Would you be kind enough, sir, to remove your umbrella to my other foot q moment, so that l may empty my rubber"
 Every one at that end ofthe car smil- ed. except the man. who beat a retreat to the platform, without so much az saying, "l beg your pardon.

Labor and Commodities.

The system of protection is defended upon the ground that it will create more labor Here is q favorite proteetionist maxim: @The best system for country is that which secures for it the greatest amount of labor"
 But labor is not an end in itself we labor solely fer the sake of the com modities we need Most people of ordi- nary common sense think that the best system Is that which secures the greatest

 "A Mormon, Benny, is q man who marries more than one wife,
 Then you are Mormon, ain't you, papa?" asked Benny. anxious to dis play the the deductive powers which his father had commended,

The Treasury department has gives
the Wall Street gold SPECTATORS bad
black eye by refusing, under the recent.
ly enacted law, to exchange gold bars
for gold coin, unless the applicants for
tho exchange will pay the cost Of con-
verting the coin into bars. Acting
Secretary Of the treasury, Nettleton.
says Of this action: IAN act passed at
the recent session Of congress leaves it
discretionary with the Secretary OF the
Treasury, whether or not to receive
gold coin Mt the mint or assay office
and deliver therefor gold bars Of equal
value. The act fixes Il charge for sucl,
exchanges when made equal 10 the
government cost of converting tile coin
into bars, which is at present four cents
per 500. The section under the new
law in declining to furnish 81 DOC, 00O
In gold bars for shipment abroad was
based OH the belief that 1t was not good
business policy for the United States
Government to go out of its way to IA
cilitate the exit Of gold from this coun-
try. The new practice, whether It
shall prove permanent or otherwise,
conforms in effect to the policy Of Eu-
ropean nations and will undoubtedly
furnish wholesome check to the often
needless and speculative expectation
Of American gold"
Spain Is disposed to play the hog In
regard to n reciprocity treaty with

include Cuban tobacco before agreeing

Hon. J. W. Foster, ex-U. S. minister
to Spain, has been sent to that country
to so state to the Spanish government,
and also to inform 1t that unless reci-
procity treaty Is negotiated the presi-
dent will, under the authority vested
In him by the Mckinley tariff act order
the retention of the tariff upon Cuban
sugar. This will probably bring tie
Ilidalgo's to their senses very quickly.
