Forbearance the Golden Rule.

Doubtless in everyday English home
life there is an absence of that courtesy
which goes far to prevent jars. and make
home life smooth and pleasant. The man
who takes off his hat to his wife, who
hands her chair and who always speaks
courteously to her, sets an example that
she and her children and her servants I'M
consciously follow. But some men think
1t silly to be polite to their wives, and on
the other side, wives think they may nag
for ever, like Mrs. Caudle, at 6 husband.
Try a few society phrases, friends, now
and again, and see if you have not fewer
jars in your homes.
maintain that women hold men in the
hollows of their hands. That is, il the
right woman has to manage the right man
When two antagonistiC natures set sail in
the same boat, and one wants t. sail and
the other wishes to row, there is great
danger of capsize, and only the wise for
bearance Of one or both can avert trouble.
But forbearanCe sooner or later brings its
reward, and the two pull together in a
harmony that proves more aCret able even
than getting ones own way.-Lon ion Lady

Experiences of a Dustran.

Although a dustman might fairly be
supposed to have no experiences worth
speaking of, we do occasionally come across
something out of the common.
For instance, only few weeks ago, my
mate and There are two Of US TO each
cart-received an order from the foreman
to go at once TO certain address which
happened to be on our Thursdays round.
We there discovered that a very important
paper had been lost or mislaid, and as some
idea had got about that it might have
been thrown into the dust bin we were
questioned as to the possibility of finding it
where our load on that particular occasion
had been carted.
As luck would have it, we found the
document. We had made an arrangement
my mate and Ito take two sacks with
US on our rounds, and while he looked after
old envelopes, letters and white paper Of
all sorts, collected the rags, bones, boots
and other refuse likely to br ng us in a
few coppers. We found the missing paper
in one of our sacks stored up to be sent to
the paper mills, and were rewarded with
sovereign each.
OF course sometimes we don't find the
articles we get asked for-we should be
smart men if we did-and we often get the
blame for finding and keeping lost articles
after they have been inquired for.-lnter-

Remarlzahle Reasons for DneIs.

Colonel Montgomery was shot in duel
about dog; Colonel Ramsey in one about

challenged for merely asking his opponent

TEE Thirty. eighth general assembly

THK Thirty. eighth general assembly
will be expected. among other things, to
tackle the school book trust and the
school furniture trust. The latter. &C.
cording to the Chicago Dispstch, laid a
tribute of more than $4,000 upon Chi
cago alone during the past season. 1t
appears that school furniture factory
with which Chicago had a contract at a
fair price, was burned out, and that ss a
result OF that corhagration the school
furniture trust WAS enabled to enter into
a contract with the city BY which 1t loses
the above mentioned amount of money.
The school book trust has had its
clutches on the purse strings of the PEG
pie of Illinois for many years, and leGis-
lstion is needed to compel it to stop.

nProteetIonism Must Co"

The Chicago Herald is right. PRO
tectionism must CO." The Herald calls
attention 10 the fact that the democrats
who are most strenuous in their oppOsi-
ton to the proposed extra session of
congress for the purpose Of wiping out
Nc Sinleyism are precisely the men who
labored most strenuously TO inject q tar
if strsddle into the Chicago platform last
June. THE free traders" says the Her
aid, promptly and vigorously asserted
themselves at that critical moment of the
party's history, and it is probsble that
when the time arrives for decisive action
on the extra session sutject they will
again make it plain that protectionism is
dead in the democratic party and can no
longer masquerade in its councils under
the name Of conservatism or any other
false pretense."
Chicago convention upon this question
cannot, with safety, be ignored OF belit-
tied by democratic leaders. The Chicago
convention meant business" when by q
vote of more than two-ihirds it rejected
the equivocal tariff resolutions repor ted
BY the platform committee and substi-
tuted therefor ringing denuncistion of
republican protection as robbery" al d
OF the Mckinley law as "the crowning
atrOcity OF class legislation" The battle
was fought upon these lines. The DEM
ocratic press in every state, democratic
candidates ard speakers everywhere,
fearlessly exposed the iniquities Of Nc
Kinleyism and pledged the dem ocratic
party to wipe it from the statute books if
given the power. The democratic cam
paign was bold and aggressive from be-
ginning to end. As the Herald says:
At no stage of the campaign Just
past was political cowsrdice found wise
policy. Free traders and free trade
arguments we're wonderfully potent in
the contest. In every district where the
candidates and their aids waged war
upon tariff thieverY from the OILY logical
and impregnable ground of absolute COM
mercial freedom the protectionists were
vanquished at the polls. The voters
who have thus had their eyes opened to
the tariff villaiDy are in no mood TO be
trified with. To them the old sophistry

The Illinois steel company proposes to
shut down its steel rail plant this winter
because OF 1.-THE uncertainties Of tariff
legislation" This is protection false,
hood THIS company is in the steel-rail
trust. This trust 80 completely controls
the market that it fixes the price of rails
without regard to the state OF the mar
ket. All summer the price OF steel rails
was held at $50 ton, although there was
very little demand for them. The price
in England ives $50. This mill is to be
shut down because the other mills can
make all the rails that are needed. By
shutting down the expenses of operation
can be reduced. II the tariff was reduced
to IS ton from the present tax of
$l3.40, the difference between the cost OF
production here and abroad would be in
tirely covered. The cheapening Of the
price would also tend to increase the de-
mAnd. The Illinois people know this
and know that il the tariff is so reduced
they will go on making rails, although
they may no longer extort their former
abnormal profits.

Altar of Roses,

In trade the rose is very valuable, as the
affairs Of India and Persia sell at a very
high price, and there are large districts of
rose gardens in which men and women are
employed-t the harvest months being
March and April. In Turkey also rose
farming is largely carried On, AMI a very
fine altar is got from the rose grown in
Cashmere. Even rosewater is luxury
which is by no means to be despised as to
price, but the altar of roses is immensely
costly, and it takes an enormous number
of flowers to distiH even few drops.
The altar is said to have been first dis
covered by the favorite wife of Jeh an Jeer,
through whose garden ran a cana of rose
water, on the surface Of which the begun
found few drops of the precious altar or
oil loating.-Detroit Free Press.

Wire Uaed for Pins.

Perhaps as striking a figure as can be
adduced in relation to wire is its consump-
ton in the pinmaking industry. With
but few exceptions, all pins are made from
brass wire, and the daily production Of
pins in Great Britain is placed by compe-
tent authorities at sc, 00O, 900, Of which Biz
mingham supplies about three-fourths.
How this stupendous output is consumed
affords matter of no small wonde rment,
and when the prcTe-bial trihing value Of
each individual pin is further borne in
mind the interest in this branch Of the
wire industry will be still further aug
mepted.-Chambers,J journal.

BROTHER wANAMAKER told his ell

at Sunday school the other day:
The strife between Gods people and
His enemies is like that between the two
grest political parties, continual and
cesseless wrsngle. On the one side are
the righteous, on the other the unright-
eous. There is no third side. We must
choose one or the other. Indifference is
fatal. Every man stands either With or
against God"
The New York Tritune, after two
weeks of deiberation, withdraws its var
ious other xpltnstions, and says the
Socialists did it. Brother Wansmaker,
however, fatty declares that the devil did
it, as Mr.. Harrison declared four years
ago that the Lord did it. The one fact
on which everybody seems to sgree, as
an exchange observes. is that it is did. ="
