Boots and Shoes.

If there is ought in this life that is a sore tC
the sight and punishment to ones entirety, i
is an out of style boot or shoe that does not prop
erIy tit the feet, If either toe tight or too loose
it brings, we believe, more misery than augh
else to the wearer.
To obtain either a fine boot or shoe for either
SEX or age, for wear in summer, spring or fall
and at satisfactory prices, one should not fail tC
call on Z. j. DAVEY, Mineral Point Wis.
To have feet feel i'll manner right,
We all should have good shoes,
That brings to women much delight,
And man will ne'er refuse.
And best of such TO e'er obtain,
To E. j. DAVEY the people go,
For prices least they there do gain,
fact of which we know.
He has them for ladies fine wear,
For children, too as we'll,
And patrons oftentimes declare,
That cheaply he does sell,
For gents he, too, has very best,
OF every latest style.
And slippers fine, that stand the test,
And makes one pleasing smile.

Dangerous Experim ents.

There is a scientific person in Eng
land just at present who apparently
spends his whole time in hanging newly
born Infants to a branch of tree, or
rather it is the infants who hang them
selves, in consequence of the scientific
PERSONS encouragement and advice. The
branch is put in an infants hands, and
is then lifted into the air, when it is
found that the infant will retain it's hold
and remain suspended by it's hands for
fully two minutes. The object of this
performance is to show that man is de-
scended from the monkey. 1t is the
scientific PERSONS opinion that if an in
FAINT instinctively hangs by its hands
from branch of tree it is because it
has inherited a fOndness for that athletic
sport from it's siInian ancestors.
This is all very well; but when the
scientific PERSONS practices come to the
ears of the mothers Of the infants with
whom the experiments have been made
it is probable that he will somewhat
change his opinion as to the descent of
man and will adopt the view that man
has been developed, on his mothers side,
from Thrashing machine of complicated
construction and tremendous strength

THE HIGH TARIFF POLICY.
''Free Trade in Labor the Only Thing
the Workman Has to Sell.

Stree Trade in Labor the Only Thing
the Workman Has to Sell.
4 recent dispatch to the New York Post
from Pittsburg says: 1T is reported to-
day that the iron and steel manufacturers
of the United States will make a general
assault on the Anlalgamated association
in the spring. The skilled wOrkmen in
all the union mills belong to this associa-
ton, and the annual wage scale for the
United States is made in this city. Pre-
liminary slzirmishe8 have already oc-
CURED, and in every instance the work.
men were beaten"
This shows that the great iron and
steel trusts are determined to appropri-
ate to themselves all that the tariff
bonus allows. They will not share it
with their workmen. One of the E'pre-
liminary skirmishers" referred to in the
above dispatch was the resolution made
in all the departments of their mills by
Carnegie Bros. In many cases they cut
wages so per cent. Similar reductions
have been made by the Pennsylvania
Steel company. The Bethlehem Iron
company and the Lackawanna Coal
and Iron company-all members Of the
steel rail trust.
Last week Jones & Laughlin, men,
bers Of the Structural Iron trust, in addi-
ton to increasing the hours of work per
day, cut down the wages Of 800 labor
ers.
The same week the Oliver & Robe
Wire company, a member OF the {
lumbla Patent company, or wire tru
reduced the wages Of their wOrkmen
per cent. Besides reducing wages tt
trusts are trying to prevent the workn /
from organizing to promote their n
interests. Having gotten high and . }
hibitive duties on their products, the
trusts have no further need Of the assist
ance of the unions.
At the same time they are careful to
see that the free importation of foreign
workmen shall continue.
Said Andrew Carnegie the same week
that he cut down the wages of his work
men: II say, don't touch immigration;
let it flow on. We are getting the cream
of Europe | want to see America great,
really great. We need all the popula-
ton we can get We have only seven
teen persons to the square mile, and
there are millions of acres of land where
the soil has never been turned. l say,
hands off immigration.
How long will it be before the farmers
and Iaborers will see through this hypo-
critical tariff policy, the two maxims of
which are ''Our production of farm
products" and Free trade in labor?'

Where Land Brings Fabulous

Where Land Brings Fabulous Prices.
A chrOnicler of the days of the good
Haroun-al-RaSchid, seated on d minaret
of his paradise, with a list of New York
real estate quotations spread out before
him, would be seized with an impulse
to write the story Of our prosperity in
jeweled characters on cloth of gold
And if he should describe Manhattan as
an island overlaid with precious metals
and incrusted with diamonds, there
would be little fault to find with the
metaphor beyond its audacity. In a
down town district, but short time
ago, land sold for $4,000 per frontage
foot, the entire lot, 20 by 100 feet, bring
'ug $500, 200. Up town, in a choice neigh
Jorhood, about the same time, $50, 900
was the price paid for a frontage of
20 feet by 100 feet in depth. Thus have
the memorable demands of traffic and
the needs of budding thousands for
sleeping room and shelter transmitted
the soil beneath the New Workers. feet
into auriferous strata whose value stated
in figures becomes almost too dazzling
for belief.-Harper's Weekly.
