The discussion as to abundance OF hair
being evidence Of strength has again
come up, some arguing that there was
nothing novel in Samson's strength being
in his hair, and others that as rule the
strongest men are least blessed with an
abundant hair covering. There are
necessarily exceptions to all rules, but
most freaks of strength of modern times
have luxuriant hair TEere are five or
six women now travelling with dime
museum shows, lifting enormous
weights with their hands or teeth and
performing other extraordinary feats of
strength, and nearly all Of them have
magnificent heads of hair.
Among prize fighters the same rule
applies, and although athletes generally
keep their hair cut very close to the
head, they usually have a very thick
growth of hair and are seldom bald.
Ancient history is delved into a great
deal in the discussion, but the fact re
mains that the strongest men of today
have in almost every instance not only
heavy heads of hair, but also quite a
substantial growth on the chest and
arms. 1t may be that excessive bodily
vigor and activity promote the growtt
of hair, or that the hair itself is an evl
dence Of strength, but whichever may
be the cause and the effect, the comb
nation exists as a very general rule. -

= TEACHER.

Preachers nave preached me sermons,
have slept their sermons through;
All my relations have lectured,
My friends have lectured too.
My foes have given me warnings,
And have taken them not;
Friends and foes and relations
never needed a jot.
Their words were the essence OF wisdom,
There was nothing they didn't foTesee;
And not one atom of all they said
Has ever remained with me.
They were staid and pallid and solemn,
They were gray and wriukled and old
My teacher has cheeks Of roses
And hair Of the suns own gold.
His words run into each other,
He stammers and babbles and cries;
He doesn't know he is powerful,
He never dreams he is wise.
But in three short years he has taught me
More than those gray boards staid
Had taught in the seven and thirty
Before he came to their aid.

It is believed that influenza is answer
able for both deaths-those Of the Arch
duke Henry and his beloved consort-
which, as announced, are the subject of
widespread grief in Vienna. The arch
duke knew nothing Of the death Of his
wife. The archduke's only child, Bar
oness Roineria of Waldeck, who had
been deprived Of both parents in such a
tragic manner, says that they had pre-
sentiment of their fate. The baroness
grief is heartrending. She is being CON
Boled by the Duchess of Alencon, sister
of the Empress Elizabeth.
The tragedy is intensified by the ro-
mantle history of the union of the arch
duke and the opera singer by the sacrl-
fees the archduke had to make and by
the exemplary happiness of the pair dur
ing the twenty-three years of their mar
| ried life. They were idolized through
out the Tyrol, and in Vienna the tall,
strong figure of the archduke, with his
/ long white beard and blue eyes, was a
/ familiar object He made the acquaint-
ance at Graz of the prima donna Of the
theater in that town in the drawing
rooms of the Syrian nobility, He pri-
vately engaged himself to her just be-

was offered brides to release him, but
resolutely refused.

sleeplessness Is one of the penalties

much relaxed to absorb with proper
rRpidity. Poisonous substances are
formed by the action of microbes upon
the slowly digesting food, and these are

him all the clothing the English
purchaser is willing to give for it,"
This is an assumption on the
part of the President that he and
his associates know better what
each man needs than the man him
self knows. If a shop-keeper were
to act on this principle he would
soon lose his trade.
But this assertion of superior
wisdom, this declaration that man
is created for the glory and the
benefit of the Government, this re-
versal of the principles of the Con-
stitution and of the Declaration of
Independence does not end, 1t
merely begins with the tariff. 1t Is
the foundation of every subsidy;
it is the explanation and the de-
fense of the countless extrava-
gances Of the Reed Congress; it is
the working argument of the Force
bill; it blossoms into wrong and
oppression at every turn in politics.
1t is the curse of the times, as
active and as virulent in America
under the rule of the Republican
party as in Germany under Bis
marck, or In Russia under the
Gear. Our rulers are not yet ready
to declare themselves openly, and
the character of our people makes
caution necessary, yet the Russian
prohibition of the export Of grain
Is no more arbitrary, no more op-
pressive, no more productive of
evil than the American prohibition
of the importation of clothing and
tin-plate. The German army Is
no more costly than our army Of
pensioners, and its leaders and ad-
vocates are no more dictatorial
and domineering.
This is not mere rhetoric; 1t is
sober sense. The whole tendency
Of the Republican party is away
from popular institutions; is in the
direction of despotism. This is in
evitable; one evil begets another.
The tariff can not stand alone in
the midst of a free people; it must
itself be protected on every side;
it is protected to-day by subsidies,
by extravagances, by demands for
Notifications and ships; for pen
si0ns and other plundering privi-
leges. Henry George puts this
idea in his last chapter on "Protec-
tion or Free Trade" "That which
is good," he says, "harmonizes with
all things good, and that which is
evil tends to other evil things.
Properly does Buckle, in his His
tory of Civilization, apply the term
"protective" not merely to the
system of 70 bbery by tariffs, but to
the spirit that teaches that the
many are born to serve and the
few to rule; that props thrones
with bayonets, substitutes small
vanities and petty jealousies for
high-minded patriotism, and con-
verts the flower of European youth
into uniformed slaves, trained to
kill each other at the word of COM
mand.n

The Platform.

The platform of the National
Democracy adopted this week at
Chicago, is so lengthy that we are
compelled to wait till next week,
before we can lay 1t before our
readers in full. 1t is a splendid
declaration of principles.
1t demands reform Of the tariff
on lines indicated by Democratic
Congresses, and denOunces the rob-
berries of protection and the recip'
rocity sham.
1t contains an earnest and patri.
Otic declaration against the Force
bill advocated by Republicans. II
declares for dollars of gold and
silver of equal intrinsic value, and
paper dollars redeemable in coin
and an adjustment between nations
as will maintain the purity between
silver and gold.
DenOunces trusts, denounces the
Republican party for giving away
the public lands, till now few rail.
roads and nonresident aliens, in
dividual and corporate, possess a
larger area than that of all our
farm lands between the two seas
and pledges the Democratic party
to pursue the policy by which it re-
stored more than one hundred mil.
lion acres to the people during its
four years of administration.
1t calls for an honest enforce.
ment of the civil service law, con-
demns the expressions practiced
by the Russian government on its
subjects.
Demands enforcement of the laws
against Chinese immigration, and
the importation Of foreign work
men under contract TO degrade
American labor and lessen its wa
ges, and denounces all efforts to re-
