"The tariff is tax" said the Syracuse
''anti-snap" convention. The Mckinley
bill increased the tariff on Chemnitz
hosiery, the increase amounting to 40
cents a dozen on mems brown half hose.
The foreign manufacturers reduced the
price per dozen 7S cents. These figures
are from the Dry Goods Chronicle, a
trade journal of established reputation
for excellence. If the tariff is tax it
is evidently a tax on the foreigner.
Perhaps that is what the Cleveland

eign interests as against American.

City Girls Water Their Horse

W. w. Hall, o young farmer near
Montpelier, enjoyed himself hugely
few days back in watching a couple of
city girls attempt to water their horses
at the trough at his place. The horses
were checked up, and of course could
not get their noses down to the water.
This seemed to surprise the young ladies
at first, but finally realizing the trouble
they both got out of the buggy, and go
ing behind lifted up on the hind axle
and after raising the hind wheels clear
off the ground peeped around the sides
of the vehicle to see the horses drink.
Finding that the horses didn't seem to
know enough to stick their heads down
at the same time they raised the hind
wheels one girl remained behind to hold
the buggy up and the other went to the
horses heads and tried to pull their
noses down to the water.
After laughing till he shook several
boards off the side of the blacksmith
shop from where he watched the girls
lift on the buggy and pull on the horses
heads till they were red in the face and
almost ready to cry, Will went to their
assistance and unchecked the horses.
The young ladies gazed at first in be-
wilderment, and then with a kind of
don't-you-ever-tell look at each other

leaned back in their seats, and, after wait
ing for their horses to drink, drove off,
leaving Will to sit down ON the corner of
the trough and ruminate over the city
gal and her way of doing things.-Mo-

The MozartIan system,

The all pervading principle of the Mo-
zartian system was a conciseness of con-
struction and an unmistakable geogra-
ply of tonality. Before Mozart, melodic
figures, subjects and keys, with all other
theoretical addenda at the disposal of
the creative musician, were confused.
Mere bits of tune and jingle, with bril-
liant passage here and there, constitute
movement, or even composition.
Haydn had brought much chaotic and
irregular theoretical lore into clear and
definite shape, but Mozart simplified
matters still more. Introducing the
keenest outlines, the most beautiful fig
ures, together with clear and lucid
teachings, he defined the formal con-
struction of the movement, section, re-
peat, etc., until now the musician or
student can set ont with his principal
subject or theme, and having no misgiv-
ings concerning the dogmas of subsidiary
subject, complimentary keys and the
like.
Schooled in Mozart's principles of con-
struction, the student could pilot him
self safely through the intricacies of the
most advanced symphony, and it is for
his labors and the pattern he set in this
direction that the world of music de-
lights to do honor to the name of Mozart

Laying the Blame.

AS the grocer saw him enter the store
with quick, angry step, he knew he had
no ordinary customer to deal with. The
man strobe over to the counter, threw
down basket he had been carrying and
delivered himself of a little speech he had
evidently rehearsed on the way.
This is all internal outrage on citizen
and a-a-cash customer" he thundered,

thump. Here you have not only swim

me appear poor, miserable fool in the

The grocer silently opened the little
basket, but slammed down the lid the next
moment and moved nearer the door, where
he could catch the fresh air. In a yellow
bowl inside the basket were half dozen
cracked eggs. Nothing but deep sense
of wrong could have induced the man to
bring them from home, for the most heart
less person would have admitted that they
were too far gone already.
Those are nice things to put in your

Finest Carpets in the World.


I mean to make a pilgrimage to Fon-
tainbleau in order to see two wonderful
carpets which have been transferred to
the palace by the presidents orders, and
which are said to be the most superb
articles of the kind in the world. They
were ordered by Napoleon III at the
Gobelin mandatory in 1868. They are
of colossal dimensions, one being nearly
thirty feet square, while the other is
eleven yards long and ten yards wide.
1t took ten years to complete them,
and once finished their extraordinary
size caused them to be packed away in
the storehouse of Les Gobelins, whence
they were not extracted even to be ex-
hibited at the exhibitions of 1878 ane
1889. They are the finest articles of the
kind that have been produced for the
French government since Louis XIV Or
dered "ninety-three carpets for cere-
monies and festivals" to be manufac-
tured at La Savonnerie for the great
bathrooms and reception rooms of the
Louvre and of Versailles.
The smaller of the two, which has a
yellow ground, is set down in the in
ventory as being worth $4,000, the
larger, the ground of which is black,
being estimated at $5O,0OO, though the
real value of each is stated to be at
least double.-Paris Letter.

Joined The Democratic Party.

Capt. John Hobensacker, of Mt. Vic
tory, has abandoned the Republican
party, and in future will work for the
success of Democracy instead of the
Republican party, as he has been doing
all his life. Mr.. Hobensack was form
erly a resident of Union county, where
he was twice elected Sheriffon the Re-
publican ticket. After filling that Of
flee satisfactorily for four year she
removed to Hardin county, and at once
became prominent as leader in the
affair of that party here. He was elect
ed Chairman of the County Central
Committee last year, and while in that
capacity worked hard to bring his par
ty success. A year ago last spring lie
was elected Mayor of Mt. Victory,
which office. he still holds. He has
been stanch Republican all his life,
but the high tariff policy of the Repub-
lican party and the Mckinley bill was
more than he relshed. He is an intel
ligent and influential citizen, and his
conversion to Democracy will have
much weight. The Democracy well
comes him to her ranks, and we hope
all those Republicans who do not be-
lieve in higher taxes and making the
poor poorer and the rich richer, will
follow his example and join the Dem
Ocracy.--kentOn Democrat

How SIR Gsyan Dufy Looked.

Mrs. Carlyle, in her Journal" thus
describes Sir Charles Gsvan Duffy as he
looked in 1874 during visit he paid to
"the sage of Chelsea:" "Mr. Duffy quite
took my husbands fancy, and mine also
to a certain extent. With the coarsest
of human faces, decidedly as like a
horses as aman's, heis one of the people
that should get to think beautiful"
Sir Charles Gavan Duffy himself tells
this story; An artist named Cromley
painted his portrait and bestowed on
him a dreamy poetic face which might
have passed for Shelley's. The portrait
was shown to Daniel O'Connell by the
artist in presence of Duffy. "Isnot that
very like Duffy" said Cromley. "H'm,"
said O'Connell, looking from the por-
trait to the original, 81 wish Duffy was

How the Mosquito Does 1t.

A mosquitoes bill is an elaborate con-
trivance and consists of two sharp saws
and lance inclosed in a sheath which
is also employed as pump. The saws
are bony, but flexible, and the teeth are
near the end which is pointed. The
lance is perhaps the most perfect instru-
ment known in the world of minute
things. 1t is first thrust into the flesh
and the opening is enlarged by the saws,
which play beside it until the sheath can
be inserted. The saving is what causes
