Value of the Kangaroo.s Tail.

So important is the kangaroo's tail in
his rapid progressed that experienced
hunters with guns are accustomed to fire
at the point where this appendage joins
the body. when, the tail being disabled
for its Office Of balancing, the animal is
as effectually stopped as If hamstrung
Hit elsewhere, except with rifle bullet,
or at point blank range, the kangaroo is
pretty likely to get off
One popularity of the kangaroo is
that, after being started up, he very
rarely swerves from his course, through
which popularity he is easily ''potted'
by hunters, who conceal themselves
while a man on horseback drives the
herd toward them. Boston Journal

A curious custom, and one which we
believe is in existence at the present
time at Durham cathedral. is for the
choristers, clad in flowing white robes,
to ascend the tower Of the cathedral on
the eve of the feast of Corpus Christi
and sing the "Te Deum." This cere-
mony is performed to commemorate the
miraculous extinguishment of fire on
that night in 1929. According to the
legend the belfry was struck by light
ming at midnight while the priests were
engaged in prayer, and although the fire
ragged for several hours the bells escaped
injury. This, it was said, was owing to
the special interference Of the incorrupt-
ible st. Cuthbert, who was enshrined in
that cathedral. London Tit-Bits

The DEVILS KneIi.

Among the famous bells of Dewsburg,
Yorkshire, England, is one known as
'Black Tom of Soothill," which was
presented to the church in expiration of a
murder. "Black Tom" is always rung
on Christmas eve. Its solemn tolling as
it strikes the first tap at exactly mid
night is known all over Yorkshire as the
"devil's knell," it being the notion that
when Christ was born the devil died.

The kangaroo fights with great ad.

a stream or water hole in which to await
his foes will station himself waist deep
in it, and pushing the dogs under one by

either drown them outright or compel
them to retire for want of breath.
Against human enemies, armed only
with clubs or stirrup irons, the kangaroo
often shows himself clever boxer, ward

forepaws, and now and then making for
ward bounds, with rapid play of his dan
gerous hind feet, which are difficult to
avoid. Boston Journal.

Sugar I'm Clover

An enthusiast on the subject states
that each head of clover is composed of
about sixty distinct flower tubes, and
each of these contain sugar not to ex-
coed the five-hundredth part of grain.
The proboscis of the honey bee must,
therefore, be inserted into 500 clover
tubes before one grain of sugar can be
obtained. There are 1000 grains in a
pound, and as honey contains three
fourths of its weight of dry sugar each
pound of clover honey would represent
the insertion of its proboscis into $780,
900 clover heads. New York Telegram.

THE GROWING TARIFF.
4 Century Of Protection on China Ware.
How tho Duty Has Been Increased.

4 Century Of Protection on China ware.
How shs Duty Has Been Increased.
The way the tariff grows is well shown
by the ra>c IT plain white china ware.
The first duty imposed on this was in
1850, and was only 10 per cent The
very next year the rate was raised to 12i
per cent, and two years later it was
further increased to Is per cent. This
In turn was soon found insufficient, and
In 1908 II was raised to III per cent In
1915 the duty reached 20 per cent, and
In 1912 It was put up to 30.
At this point a reaction set in. In 1857
the duty was lowered to "a per cent.
Even under this lower duty, however, the
pottery and china industry fourished.
Tho most important potteries in Tren-
ton, the principal seat Of the industry in
this country, were founded in this low
tariff period.
But Notwithstanding the establish
ment Of these new potteries and the
dourishing condition Of the industry
thus shown, the need for revenue dur
ing the war made higher taxation
necessary, and in 1868 the duty on plain
china ware was placed at IS per cent.
Having gotten the taste Of the war tariff,
the pottery manufacturers showed no in
clination to submit to reduction Of the
duty ut the close Of the war. On the
contrary, they succeeded in getting q As
per cent. protective duty In 1867.
In 1883 the Republicans in congress
undertook revision Of the tariff with
the professed purpose Of reducing il.
What this Republican 'tarif reform"
meant for the makers Of plain china ware
was shown by duty Of IS per cent
The Mckinley law leaves the duty at
this figure, but as it levies the duty on
the packages, freight charges, ETC., and
makes no allowance for goods broken In
shipment, our manufacturers get an ad-
ditional protection Of from 8 to 10 per
cent.
Thus our makers Of china ware have
now a protection at least six times
higher than that with which they started
ont 100 years ago. And yet, before the
era Of McKinleyism came In, protection
lists were in the habit Of defending their
system with the pretty claim that pro-
lection constantly tends toward point
where it is no longer needed, industries
having been put upon their feet and
made able to compete with the foreigner.
Tho china ware manufacturers show no
signs that they are ready to start even
at this late date toward the point where
such q reduction may begin.
And they will never reach that point.
Although men have become millionaires
in the pottery industry Of Trenton, they
will never surrender without struggle
the enormous advantages which the high
tariff gives them. They will go on max
ing their ''list prices" by common agree
ment up to the full amount that tho
duty permits, until the consumers put =
stop to this thing at the ballot box.

Dor, the Arcade File Works company, Of
Sing Sing, Republican in policy, assured
their men better times and higher wages,

per cent.
These employees do not see the benefit
Of this sort Of protection, and held q
