The Changes Of Time,

From the Old Colony Gazette.
The other day he returned. He stood again
in his native village. He found the can where
he had hid it, He procured pint Of milk.
He went to his old familiar boyhOods home,
entered. and in a hesitating and trembling voice
said: Father and mother, here's your milk. +"
there was change in his parents ap-
pearance; they had not the old familiar
look. He questioned them; explana-
tions followed. The young man discov-
cred that, though the good people were
still his parents. the change in their personal
appearance was readily accounted for Shortly
after his sudden and mysterious departure
from home his father died and his mother mar
ried again. Then his mother died and his new
father married again. Thus on his return the
wandering boy found the dear old home a. he
had left it, the only difference being that he
had a new father and a new mother. Verify,
truth IL stranger than fiction.

From the Newcastle Chronicle.
The use of tears is not generally APP preciated
even by those who shed them most freely, says
the Newcastle Chronicle. 1t is assumed that
tears are shed only occasionally as an expression
of grief. though tears Of joy are not wholly
unknown. This, however, is a mistake. for
the discharge OF tears is continuous and the
flow of moisture from the lachrymal glands
serves very beautiful provision of nature.
An immense quantity of fine dust is always
floating i'll the air, and though this is i'm
palpable to the vision. it would soon obscure
the sight if allowed to remain in the eyes.
The continuous flow of moisture from the
laehrymal glands is sufficient to keep the
eyeballs clear from this accumulation Of
dust, but when any grit, insect or smoke
gets into the eyes 1t so affects the nerves as
to cause an extra flow of tears to clear it
away. Tears thus involuntary. and may
be caused by any pungent vapor, such arise
from acids or the odor of onions. The chief
element in the composition Of tear is water,
but with water is associated minute proper
tons of salt. soda, phosphate of lime, phos-
plate of soda and mueus; and when seen under
the microscope a tear after evaporation looks
like a very small fish bone, owing to the salines
forming themselves into heightened CROSSINGS.

that the successor Of Pope Leo XIII will not be

that If foreigner il elected he will be either

sidercd probable that Cardinal Guglielmo San

HOG AND HUMBUG.
McKinIey's Duties on HOgs-A Specimen
Attempt to Fool the Farmer-SOme Cold

McKinIey's Duties on HOgs-A Specimen
Attempt to Fool the Farmer-SOme Cold
Figures of Exports and Imports.
Nothing illustrates better the bare
faced hypocrisy of McKinley's az
tempt TO protect the farmers than his
duties on hogs and hog products. Our
great pork packing centers slaughtered
and marketed 18,9O6,6S1 hogs in 1890,
not to mention the vast numbers slaugh-
tered on the farm for family consump-
ton. In addition, $1,000 hogs were ex-
ported.
Notwithstanding these vast figures,
Mckinley had the "gall" to increase the
duty on hogs In order to make the farmer
fancy that he too was getting his portion
in the great protection humbug. In the
tables compiled for the use of Senators
in the tariff debate a year ago by an ex-
pert of the United States treasury de-
psrtment, the imports of hogs for 1889
were given at just !, 1,453 head, valued at
$4,770.80, or $500 per head. Must have
been poor shoats! Thd old duty on hogs
was 20 per cent. Gd 0aIOrem. Mckinley
changed this to $3.50 per head, which
would amount to over As per cent. And
now our farmers have unrivaled posses
sion of the home market, no longer
threatened with ruin by that flood of
poor shoats worth 1928 apiece!
And the only thing they have to do
now to become millionaires is to use
