 Professor Hilgard says that from cli- matlc as well as geological causes, nearly all rhn soils of California may be consid- erm as abundantly supplied with lime audp'tjsh. He adds: "Of phosphoric arli, an ingredient so important that eyuu in Europe it is beginning to be canned that as the practical measure of turUry, analysis has shown an almost uu.ycl al scarcity in the soils of Califor- n.a; always excepting the alkali soils, iu winch it or its compounds frequently Crr1.0te in propOrtiOnally large aw 0ut,.

 A woman, says he. should never try to bear pain without finching. In fact, she should just scream and faint as much as she likes, and ,theE she will surely get better much sooner than if she silently bore suffering. And what about our dignity, NJ. le MedeciuP Does it become a British matron to figuratively "fall of heap'' and give way to outbursts of weeping because her gown does not fit or the parlor maid has given notice? And could we ever reconcile it with our sense of self respect to scream and kick and promptly give way to hyster- ics directly neuralgia attack came on or the demon toothache claimed us for it's ownp
 No. no; we have our faults, and our nerves may be but ''puir things" yet l hope and believe that we are men, tally better balanced and physically stronger than to require to have a good cry upon the lightest provoca- tion. -Rehoboth Sunday Herald.

The Price of Beef

Some extremely silly McKinleytes have pretended to see in the increased price of beef another of the many "beneticiences" of the Mckinley tariff law But men who seek for facts rather than political Illusions know that the poor yield of food crops last year is the cause of the higher price. A confirmation of this fact is pointed out by the Rural Ne,o- Yorker as follows: "A good Illustration of the shortage of cattle foods in the country is given in the prices paid for by the products of rice manufacturing A year ago rice polish sold at Sl2 to Sl4 per ton with rice bran at ST to SS. The polish now sells at S22 and the bran at $17 in the New Orleans market"
 Farmers who bought corn last winter to feed their cattle will not be deceived by this "I-told you-so" of the protection fists, when they say the Mckinley law has raised the price of beef.
 By the way, the Mckinley law was not going to raise the price, we are told, of single necessary of life And by the way again, the McKinleyites always tell tho farmer that the high duties on manu- factured products always lower prices, and thus help the farmer: then they face about and tell him that the higher duties on farm products raise the prices of theee and thus help the farmer again.

Who Gets Prote lions Plums.

Robert P Porter, our Superintendent of the Census, who ought to have some knowledge of statistics, has assured the farmers that they get more benefit from protection than any other class How any man could make such statement in view of the enormous fortunes accum- lated in protected industries, cannot be explained except upon the the theory of willful and wanton purpose to deceive.
 Farmers themselves know very well that they have not been made prosperous by protection. National Lecturer Will litts, who was the Alliance candidate for Governor of Kansas last year, has re- gently shown that'he Is under no delu- sion as to the condition of the farming class, He cites the following figures to show how the farmers have fallen behind in the struggle for existence;
 Our last census shows that the farm mortgaged indebtedness of Kansas is S199, 900, 900, and of Michigan Sl30, ,Ooo,- GOO. To pay the interest on the mort. gagged indebtedness in the wheat-grow- ing State of Michigan requires 450, 554 bushels more wheat than the State pro duces. Iowa has S199, 600, 900 mortgaged indebtedness-a sum equal to Slot for every man, woman and child in the State.
 "In the last year the farmers in Kan sas have lost their homes at the rate of 5Jo per week, and all the desirable pub lie land is now in the hands of railroads or of aliens.
 "ln 1850 the farmers owned 70 per cent of the wealth of this country; in 1860 they owned 50 per cent in 1880 they owned 33 per cent: in 1890 they own less than 25 per cent"

A New-FanSled Protection Theory.

The protectionists profess to hate theories and theorists, but they are now so badly rattled that they have become great theorists themselves, and some of their new theories are amusing enough. One of their latest is that we must put high tariff on foreign goods, not in order to keep those goods out of the country, but in order that we may buy all tho more of them. Senator Aldrich put forth this theory at the great protec- tion banquet in New York, and already the high tariff organs are taking to it as a restful variation upon the old familiar theory of keeping up high tariff in order to shut out foreign goods
 The Boston Boot and Shoe Recorder has so much confidence in the new theory that it even ventures to apply 1t to Mex ico as follows:
 "We know from our own experience that just in proportion as our industries develop we have the means for buying more foreign goods, and we find that our imports are greater per capita after thirty years protection than they were previous to 1861 with a low tariff. The same will be true of Mexico. They have tariff that is excessively high on many articles, but it is operating to develop industries there, and in addition to this is the steadily growing demand from this country for the tropical products which Mexico has in such abundance. The Mexican people must therefore gain rapidly in wealth, and their imports from other countries will increase in propor- tion."
 This means that Mexico must keep up high tariff in order to become rich enough to buy our goods. and yet the Recorder wants reciprocity with that counrry--i e., wants Mexico to lower it's duties on our goods, in order that we may sell moro there. What base jewel of inconsistency!
 Against this new-fangled theory the great and only Mckinley himself must be quoted In his speech introducing his high tariff bill he said:
 "There is ncc member of the Com mittee of Ways and Means, there is not a member of the minority of that com mittee, there is not member of tho House on either side, who does not know that the very instant that you have in- creased the duties to a fair protective point, putting them above the highest revenue point, that very instant you diminish importations, and to that ex- tent diminish the revenue Nobody can well dispute this proposition.
 Certainly not; you are right for once!

sosp-B Bark for Cleaning.

There are very few women who un- derstand how to use soap-bark. It Is the very best cleaning material in use. Nothing else cleans black silk or black wooden dress so satisfactorily. Five cents worth will clean an entire dress. It may be purchased at any druggists in the city or country, being commonly used by all tailors in cleaning gentle mems clothes. 1t may be used to clean almost any dark cloth, but 1t possesses color enough in itself to be liable to stain 8 delicate color. To prepare soap bark for cleaning, pour about . quart of boil ing water over 5 cents worth of the bark. Let it boil gently for two hours and at tho end of the timc strain it through piece of cheese cloth. Put the liquor in clean pail Have ready . smooth board of suitable size, and have the dress to be cleaned already ripped, shaken and brushed free from dust Lay each piece of cloth one after another on the board, and sponge 1t thoroughly on both sides, rubbing carefully any spc- cially soiled spots. After all the cloth is sponged, fill large tub full of cold water, and rinse each piece of the goods up and down in 1t, one at time, so as to remove thoroughly the soap bark. Wiring the pieces through tne Wrlnger, lay them in heavy, clean clothes basket, and when all are rinsed and wrung out, begin pressing the first that were rolled up. Iron them on the wrong side. If woolen cloth, till they are dry or nearly so; then hang them on a clothes horse to air for at least twelve hours. The cloth should hang in place free from dust, and when it is put away it will look like new. If tho dress to be cleaned is silk, after thoroughly sponging it in the soap- bark, lay it on clean board and sponge it off with clear, cold water on both sides
 Wipe off all the excess of moisture you can. Pin the smaller pieces of silk on a sheet, and hang the sheet outdoors in a shady place, where no sun can reach 1t, or throw the sheet over the clothes horse. It will need slight pressing on tho wrong side when it is made up to make it perfectly smooth -NetO York ITtbuEe

Hygiene of tho Eyas.


 The hygiene of the eyes is very simple. For them as we'll as for the com plexion. good digestion is equally necessary-more so, for no cosmetic could alternate tho yellow tinge which billiousness imparts to them--and If mysterious pencils can supply the in- sufficient shadow of rare eyelashes good health alone can give them that brightness which Is their principal beauty. Never read in bed or in a declining attitude it provotes ten sion of the optic nerve, very fatiguiug to the eyesight. Bathe the eyes daily in salt water, not salt enough. though, to cause smarting sensation. Noth- ing is more strengthening.
 Many persons fear cold air as they do the plague. They shut themselves in close bedrooms. where their sys- tens are poisoned and gradually un- dermined by breathing bad air. It is claimed for cold air, by somo of it's advocates, that the remedial influence of fresh air is much increased by a low temperature. So much increased in fact that colds are more curable in mid-winter than in midsummer. Cold is an antiseptic and powerful digest i've stimulant. Dyspepsia. catarrh and levers of all kinds. so say some doctors, can be frozen out of the sys- tenn; not by letting the patient shiver in a snowbank. but by giving him m extra allowance of warm bedclothing with the additional luxury of breath ing cold air. A movement of air through room is secured b. leaving window open both at the top and the bottom.

Getting Neptune Down Fine.

An apparatus for measuring the mean level of the sea has lately been invented at Marseilles. It is based on the prin- ciple that when liquid wave traverses a capillary tube or porous partition it's amplitude diminishes, and it is re- tarded in it's phases without the mean level of the wave changing.
 It consists of a glass tube. the lower end of which communicates by flexible pipe with plunger which is lowered beneath the lowest water level There are two cells in the plunger, the lower being filed with sand and open to the sea, the result being that the column of water in the tube rises and falls very little with the tides, and the mean sea can be read from a graduated scale.

Don't Want Our Ep~x

The protection comedy is becoming highly amusing. Last year Mckinley put 2 duty of cents a dozen on eggs-a duty aimed mainly at the pauper-laid eggs of Canada; and now it is announced that Canadian farmers want duty on American eggs. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1s9c, Canada imported 059,051 dozen of eggs, valued ct s91, ,77a Of these eggs the United States supplied o35. l66 dozen, valued At &ee, IA

 The percentages given are, each based upon slightly different estimate of the the total number of workers.
 Stating the result in the rough, then, we may say that about S50,00o of our people are directly inter- ested in protection, and that 95 per cent, or nineteen out of twenty, have no interest whatever in it. When ever the protectionists try, therefore, to persuade these nineteen mon that they will be ruined, unless they tax themselves for the benefit of the twentieth man, they are guilty of an absurdity which ought to move an owl to mirth.
 These figures, given forth with the authority of the men best fitted to speak on the subject, should give the farmer some light on the venerable "home mar ket theory" If nineteen farmers were asked by some twentieth man to tax themselves for his good and he in return would buy all his corn, flour, vegetables and meat from them, they would laugh him out of the country. They would say at once that a one-man- power home market was far too small to be of any value to nineteen thrifty farmers, and certainly such market was not worth taxing themselves for-they would even give it up entirely rather than tax them selves
 Yet it is on precisely such 1imsy basis as this that the protectionists rest their case. They ask the nineteen to pay higher prices for what the one makes, and then he will return the favor by buying from them-but of course at current market rates.

A PENNSYLVANIA farmer tells in tn,

A PENNSYLVANIA farmer tells in the RUat Ncw Yorker his experience of higher prices under the Mckinley law. He gives the following case: Before the McKin- Icy bill was law, I had some spouting put up at eight cents per foot, complete. Now, under the Mckinley protection I had similar job done, and was con- pelled to pay ten cents per foot, besides the wages of an extra hand. This shows plainly that for every cent of tariff the manufacturer adds ten cents for profits, and tho lsborer gets nothing.

How Many Are Protec ted?

In 1886 the Secretary of the Treasury, the late Daniel Manning, in preparing his annual report applied to three of the most skillful and expert statisti- clans in the Government service for an estimate of the num- Der of people in the United States en- gagged in gainful occupations, grouping separately those subject to foreign com- petition and those who are not. These three specialists were Worthington 0. Ford, Chief of the Bureau of Statistics of the State Department; E. B. Elliott, United States Government Actuary; and Prof. Simon Newcomb, Superintendent of the Nautical Almanac, published by the Navy Department
 The result of their calculations, sepa- rately conducted, was that the number of persons in any way subject to foreign competition, were stated as follows, with their percentage to the entire number engaged in gainful occupations:
