Some New Industries.

Warman & Hazelwood, of Coventry,
England, who are said to be the largest
bicycle makers in that country, with
sc, 600 paid-up capital, are to erect a
big factory in Philadelphia for the
manufacture of bicycles for their
American trade. England is said to
have $50 factories to Americas %.
A company from Bradford, England,
making arrangements to establish a
worsted dress goods factory in Philadel-
phia.
Vollath & Wadlinger, also of that city,
have recently begun the manufacture of
Brussels lace curtains. This is the first
attempt to make these curtains IN this
country.
John Bromley & Sons are already OPP
Grating an immense plant making lace
curtains, and George Brooks q Sons
have recently imported machinery for
another plant. The hands in the Brom-
ley factory are under the instruction Of
skilled WOrklngmen from Nottingham,
the center Of England's lace industry.
Horner Brothers, likewise of the Quak-
er City, are buildinga e-making plant.
Ard the American Economist makes
the following note Of additional new IN
dustries that will soon be transferred to
this country. England has hitherto bad
pracucaI monopoly OF their manu1acI-
ure, and one quite large town grew up
there whose Inhabitants have been de-
pendent on the cotton tie industry. AS
there was no manifest reason IN the ma
ture of things why this country, the
greatest iron and steel producer, as well
as the greatest cotton grower, III
the world, should depend upon mills
5000 miles away for its cot
ton ties, the Mckinley tariff changed
the duty on them from 80 per cent. ad
valorem to l $40 cents a pound. consti-
tuting a material increase. Results:
American mills began making them,
and the imports of 32,0l4,4 Ala pounds OF
''hoops or ties for bailing purposes, .
ETC., during the first nine months OF
1890 fell to nothing for the correspond
ing months Of this year; and instead OF
over IL .000 900 pounds Of hoop, band
or scoll iron or steel" for nine months
of last year, re imported less than

Four-In-Hand Ties.

A mans four-in-hand tie, for or
binary wear, costs from 81 to 81, if it
IS Of good quality And no man ought
to be INDUCED in wearing tie OF any
thing else than good quality. Because
the necktie forms focal point in mems
dress, and, if that be cheap, the whole
effect is cheapened, no matter how cost
~ the rest of the clothing may be. A
four-in- hand, then, of good quality
costs something over dollar A yard
of faille Franchise like that from which
the tie is made costs $3.50. The strip
Of silk in the tie is four inches wide,
unmade, and a yard and a quarter long.
Six of these strips can be cut from that
length of silk. Allow another dollar
for the light silk or satin lining and the
bit of wadding that interlines it.
There you have six four-in- hands for
about the price Of three. AS to the
making, that is the simplest possible

God Save the Hing,

The melody which the English claim
as their national hymn was really COM
posed by Lully, the Italian musician,
who created the opera In France, says a
writer in Kate Fields Washington.
Even the words are merely translation
and ampliticaton of the French verse.
The original composition was an invoca-
ton In honor of King Louis NV, sug-
gested by Nine. de Maintenon, and sung
by the choir Of noble young ladies,
pupils at st. Cyr, upon the entrance of
the king into the chapel Of that royal
institution.
1t is tradition in the convent that
Handel asked and obtained permission
to copy the piece and afterward pre-
sented it to King George l., of England
as his own composition. There is in
existence a declaration to this effect,
signed by three nuns Of ST. Cyr, and the
same story is repeated in the memoirs OF
the duchess of Perth.
The words of the hymn were as fol-
lows:
Grand Dieu. sauvez le Roi
Grand Dieu, Yengez lie ROil
NiYe lie Roii
Qua iamais glorieux
Louis Y1ctOrieuX
Voye Ses ennemis
TolourlS sOumis,

The Too Familiar Help"

Somebody says it is very vulgar to
speak of your husband by his last
name, and criticises Mrs. Henry NJ.
Stanley for doing SO. The Woman OF
the Boston Post knew of dear little
morsel of femininity who married a grave
and dignified young lawyer, and went
to housekeeping in q love of cottage
with a Hibernian cook. The little WON
an in her young bridehood could not
muster sufficient dignity Of speech to
call her liege lord Mr.. Jones, even to
the cook, but affectionately designated
him Harry" And ole day, when
there was company. Bridget came to the
parlor door, and announced: "Lunch is
ready, and will yez be waitin' for
Harry, ma am ?" Somehow the story
got out at the club, and Mr.. Jones never
quite forgaye his spouse, though there
after she punctliously called him "Mr
Jones" until he came to be Judge"

What are the facts? Here they

dT0.
In the first ten months of the new laws
existence, ending July 81, our imports of
carpet wool were so, 100. 270 pounds, valued
at SIS, 464, 318, an average of 1917 cents a
pound. The duty of 81 per cent. ad valor-
EN- brings the price to the manufacturer up
to Is o. cents pound. In thecorrespond-
ing months OF last year under the old tariff
imports OF carpet wool were II, 081, 76S. val
ued at SIS. 257, 740, or IL SIS cents a pound
The old duty of 215 cents a pound added,
made the price at one carpet mill ia 10
cents a pound. In other words, one manu-
factufeT has been getting his carpet wool
cheaper on an average this year than last.
Now as to prices. The Dry Goods
Chronicle, which is always reliable in
regard to prices, in noting the drop IN
carpet prices, says:
Here again we have a rather surprising
outcome of what seemed inevitably rising
market. due to causes which we have al
ready explained, tO-Wit, the lower price of
raw material and the eager competition
which cuts the profit down to the bare
bones,
Then comes the Dry Goods Economist,
another trade paper Of integrity and
Candor. ana also free trade. Joins in the
conjecture of the trade that ''the new
prices will drop from 10 to 10 and even
20 cents on the higher grades, and from
to 10 cents on tapestries and ingrains."
OF course such papers cannot under
stand such mysteries as these, although
they are as plain as A. b. c. to Repub-
llcans, and the Dry Goods Economist
concludes: but whatever the cause
and whatever the result may be, the act
stands out, for better or worse, that car
pets are likely to be considerably cheap
er than ever before"

thing. Get your husband or brother or
father to give you an old tie that he has
liked, but which is past wearing. Rip
it apart SO as too see exactly how it is
made, and then use the pieces for pat
tern. Make the new ones exactly like
the old one.
But think of six ties all exactly
alike y says some girl who reads this.
| know six girls each of whom bought
one strip of silk and snapped strips so
that, when all the ties were done, each
had one dark blue one, one pale blue
one, one of white, one Of black, one of
deep red and one of palest pearl color.

HOW SHE LOST HER LOVER,

BY JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY
TWasa summer ago when he left me here,
\ summer of smiles with never a tear
Till | said TO him with sob, my dear
Goodbye, my lover good byei
For loved him. oh, as the the stars love night
And my cheeks for HIM flushed red and white
When he first called me his hearts delight;
Goodbye, my lover; goodbye!
The touch of his hand was a thing divine
AS lie sat with me in the soft moonshiue
And drank of my Love as men drink wine:
Goodbye, my lover; good bye!
And never night as knelt in prayer,
In gown as white as our own souls were
But in fancy he came and kissed me there
3ood pye, my lover, good-bye
But now, oh, Sod what an empty place
My whole heart is OF the old mbrace
And the kiss | loved there is not q trace
Goodbye, my lover; good bye
He sailed not over the stormy sea-
And he went not down the waves, not he
But oh, he is lost, for he married me-
Good bye, my lover; good Bye

Seamless Boats.

There is a growing demand for the
seamless boat, which seems 60 be able
to stand any amount of rough work.
The boat is pressed out of an ingot of
steel and shaped by hydraulic power,
and it fulfills all the requirements of an
ordinary boat in remarkably ingen-
ious manner. 1t it claimed for these
boats that they will last twice as long as
the wooden ones, that there is less dan
ger Of their capslzing, and that they are
less liable to be affected by changes of
climate. The method by which the
seamless boat is constructed is a large
application OF the method which has
long been used in this country for man
ufacturing cooking utensils and other
articles Q. small dimensions

where the Major Laughed.


The Washington correspondent of the
New York Advertiser has unearthed
one shining exception in congressional
life to the rule that S., 900 year doesn't
make both ends meet. This example
is Maj. Martin, Of Texas, who blew out
the gas the first night of his arrival in
Washington. The Majors living ex-
penses in Texas had ranged from 500
to $500 per annum. He resolved when
thrust into Congress by his neighbors,
that he would not permit the eXtrava-
gances of fashionable life to daily with
him to the extent of more than $500 in
excess OF that sum. In short society or
no society, ST 600 per annum was his linz
it. He stuck to his resolution through
four years of his service Upon the
expiration of his term he walked right
into the office of the sergeant-at-arms,
threw down huge roll of bills, and
asked for exchange on New York. He
stroked his goatee complacently and re-
marked to the cashier: ''They say the
old man blew out the gas, but [ guess
none O. them feLels that wear patent
leather shoes and drink that fzzin kind
of wine Will tote home any wad like
that" The ''wad" contained SIT, 500,
saved in four years out Of an aggregate
salary Of $4,000 and mileage This is
where the Major had his laugh

Carpet Prices and Carpet Wool

Gratis, and especially the Mugwump por-
ton of the Democratic party, stand
dazed at the wonderful operation Of the
Mckinley bill as touching the prices Of
important articles. When the tariff was
increased on carpet wool there went up
a wall that carpets would be much high
er, and that the burdens of the increase
would fall on the poor, who were forced
TO use the cheaper grades of carpets.
Poor mortals, they cannot see the error
IF their prediction in the lesson of his

Dangerous Tariff Tinkering.

1t the report is true which states that
the course upon which Speaker Crisp
has determined to steer is that of
'tinkering" with the tariff it will dis
turb the country more than if there was
a general attack on the whole Mckinley
bill, because it will make capital con-
sentative and cause manufacturers to
run their factories on short time until
they see the outcome of the tinkering.
It will disturb all lines of business,
directly or indirectly, and cause distress
among the employees of large numbers
Of industries.
Among the articles which are cited as
likely to be made the subject of bills for
their free importation are wool, salt,
binding Irvine, cotton ties, iron ore,
coal and large lines of WOODEN goods.
The cry is to enlarge the free list. The
abolition of the duty on wool would
strike the sheep-groWers disastrously !;
putting salt on the free list would close
up our salt works, and leave us depend
ent on other nations for an article abso-
lutely essential to life; cotton ties are
cheaper in this country than before the
Mckinley bill went into effect, and if
put on the free list would soon 90 to
high prices, because we would be at the
mercy Of foreign manufacturers; iron
ore is already virtually free If manu-
featured into articles OF export, and in
whatever direction the proposed tinker
ing is suggested similar reasons extend
to make 1t obnoxious. The law should
be allowed to stand substantially in its
present form. Any attempt to tinker
with it in the interest of free trade will
prove not only dangerous to business
interests, but disastrous to the thinkers.

THE asteroids that lie between the
orbits of Mars and Jupiter have be-
come SO difficult to keep track of, since
they have been discovered at the rate
of about twenty a year, that astronomers
have recently decided to reject them,
excepting the nearest and the most
distant. The latter are important in OBJ
servations of Jupiter, while the nearer
ones are useful in more accurate cal
culations of the earth's distance from
the sun.

They Don't Like II.

The London correspondent of the
New York Tribune gives the following
In regard TO the feeling in London re-
speeding the Presidents message:
English comment as to the domestic part
OF President HarriSon'S message is all col
Ored by irrepreSSible prejudice touching
the tariff and free trade. Ehe free trad
ers are aSt0nished by his figures, so much
aStoniShed that one amiable critic suggest
ed that they had probably been cooked
English free traders believed as one OF
them says, that the direct, immediate re-
suit of the Mckinley tariff would be to di-
mlnlSh the total volume OF the American
export and import trade. Both have
nevertheless shown their disregard OF
economical laws by increasing. What re-
source have the dOctTlnalreS, except % Sug-
gest that presidential statistics are open to
a good deal Of criticism? The increase of
free imports by 100000 900 and the de-
crease OF dutiable imports by the same
amount are another blow to the doctrin-
aires. Why, they eXclaim. that is just
what the prOtectionistS desired and pre-
dicted. They wanted to keep out the
foreigner where he completes with home
industry. and let him in where he does not.
But the triumphant prOtectiOnlStS need
not be too triumphant. The free trader
has had an answer ready. "a more
accurate analysis viii soon disclose that
much of that increase in the volume
Of trade is emphatically bad trade
Why wait for more accurate analysis :?
Why not say at once that all trade is bad
which Is not free trade? That is what he
means. No trade in America can be good
which does not enrich the British manu-
facturer at the expense Of the American.
Let that be understood once for all. The
advantage of this method of economical
criticism is obvious. 1t renders the free
trade critic independent Of all the facts
and figures which do not support his
theory

Paragraphs and Illustrations.


Mr.. Bayneshawe, of the Leeds Forge
| Company, says: An English manufac-
turer is bound to kick long and hard
when he is excluded from SO important
market as the United States, but he
is long-headed enough to know, after
surveying Industrial and manufacturing
conditions in this country, that protec-
! ton Is the very salvation OF the United
| States. EngliShmen of common sense
| would be ardent prOtectionists, if they
| lived IN this country, and good manv
| of them who have visited the United
States In recent years are in favor of
| giving protection trial at home, not
w1thstanding the fact that it would ma
| terially increase the wages of artisans.
To counterbalance the raising in wages
| they look to thousand other adj
vantages enjoyed by country wherein
protection prevails.
