The date selected by Wake Forest is
the first day of examinations. Many of
the football teams are applying for hon
ors. They expect to secure, among 9th
ers, the three first places in the senior
class of '93. The team has therefore dis
banded, so as not to interfere with their
studies The team has lost only three
days of college work by its trips this fall.

rHr rARrFF is TAX.

The reduction Of the sugar duty has
reduced the price Of sugar.
The increase Of duty on tin plate
has increased the price Of tin plate.
Putting quinine on the free list re-
duced the price Of quinine.
Increasing the tariff on wooden
goods has led to the greater use Of
shoddy and Of cotton.
The reduction in the duty on the
raw materials Of binding Irvine reduc-
ed the price on twine.
Every manufacturer in demanding
protection admits that without the tar
if competition would force prices
down.
John Quincy Adams knew the tariff
was a tax, and in 1885 he explained
operations in this way: "The duty
constitutes part Of that price Of the
whole Of the articles in the mar
ket. It is substantially paid upon the
articles OF domestic manufacture as
well as upon that Of foreign produce
ton. Upon one it. is bounty. upon
the other Q burden and the repeal Of
the tax must operate as an eqpiva-
lent reduction Of the price Of the ar
ticle, whether foreign or domestic.
We say, 50 long as the importation
continues, the duty must be paid by
the purchaser Of the article
The manufacturers to-day know the
tariff is tax paid by the consumer;
they know their foreign customers will
not pay this tax, and so they allow
large discount on articles bought for
export.

Faldn, Mimi. Cannot He Found.
FULDA, Mimi, Aug. 80. During the
evening farmer named Haberman.
who lives about one mile east Of town,
came in and informed the people that
one Of his twin girls, about 8 years old,
was lost somewhere on the prairie. The
child went to the road which ran near
the house and with her sister wandered
along the highway from the house about
i quarter of mile and out of sight Of
her parents. A short time after, the
sister Of the little girl who is lost re-
turned and said, Julia had gone after
candy" The parents went in search,
but could not find any trace 6f the child,
but hunted nearly al day before they
alarmed the town people. Search was
made until dark by few, bat about 100
men went cut at daybreak and the
search has been continued by hundreds
Of people all day long. Every foot Of
the prairies for miles around has been
carefully examined and searched with
ont avail. No trace or clue Of the miss
ing child has as yet been found and
night has again come and all have gone
home and abandoned the search. The
opinion is now quite general that the
child has been abducted.

Fire in Anstralla.

In wet weather it is usual for the
Australian aborigine to carry in the
hand, beneath the kangaroo skin, a
piece OF smoldering wood, which COM
pensates the bearer in some sort for the
want OF flannel waistcoat, and en-
ables him to light q fire at moment's
notice.
One of our men had also plan on
cold nights of lying down, rolled up in
his furs, upon the ashes of raked out
fire. He explained to my husband that
the advantage of thus going to bed was
twofold, being no less good for warmth
than for concealment, especially when
passing the night in strange place,
where the keeping up Of a fire after dark
might attract the notice of unfriendly
natives.
Each tribe possesses a territory OF its

its own especial tract of land within
that territory. Here man can light
his fire and build his hut without fear
of molestation. 1t is in fact his pater-

and is used by the aborigines in the
same sense. Mrs. Millett.
