One for the Minister.

An old minister in the south side of Glas-
gov, who was noted for his habit of dishinc
up old sermons again and again, was one
day advertised to preach in suburban
church at the anniversary service there
An old woman who in days gone by had
sat under his ministry, but who had now
removed from his neighborhood, deter
mined to go in and hear him preach on this
particular occasion. After the close of the
service she waited on the clergyman. who
greeted her cordially and asked what she
thought of his discourse. 'Eh, man." she
replied candidly, Its lang time sin l

heard ye at it "A guild wheen O. times sim

"Ay, Janet" said the minister; "how of

The much heralded Syracuse conven>

ter all. OF course it was Cleveland
gathering throughout and every mention
OF the ex-president's name was greeted
with tumultuous applause. But Mr..

Chicago was greatly diminished by the
action of the convention. The one-man

they succeeded in having a contesting

The Galapagos Tortoises.

The Galapagos tortoises are the only sur
vivors of an ancient race of huge turtles
which lived SO long ago as the early part
of the tertiary epoch. Specimens weigh
ing from 600 to 100 pounds have been cap
tured, and there is authentic record of one
individual taken which tipped the beam at
$50 pounds. However, nearly all of the
very big ones have been caught and de-
voured, and it will not be long before the
race is exterminated-literally "eaten off
the face of the earth by gluttonous man. f"
1t is reckoned that 10000, 600 of these
turtles have been taken from the islands
since their discovery.-Boston Transcript

Wages and Duties .

The original contention, says The
World, OF the protectionists, was that
since wages were higher in this country
than other countries it would be polite
TO put duties on some kinds of manufsc-
lures in order that such manufactures
might lie established IN the United States.
notwithstanding the difference In the
wage rate. An average duty OF per
cent was considered sufficient for the pur~
pose.
1t will be observed that duties were not
levied for the purpose of raising the wage
rate, but to raise the price of the manu-
featured goods. The higher wage rate
had been established without the aid of
protection. The original protectionists
were honest in the svowal of their Pur-
pose.
But tariffs are now levied. averaging 60
per cent. upon the articles on which du,
ties are laid, under the pretense of main.
tanning higher wages than would other
wise be paid, while at the same time re-
ducing the cost to the consumer of pro-
tected stuffs.
As wages were higher in this country
than in other countries when there was
no protection, and as the price of labor
is always determined with reference to
supply and demand and the cost of living
in occupations where the laborer is his
own employer, it is manifest that the cry
of protection to labor" is fraud. There
can be no such thing.
Protection" is what it was at the
stsrt-a means OF giving the home
manufacturer an advantage to be paid
for out of the pockets of his fellow
citizens. Under the plea that duties
are levied in the interest Of workings
men, custom house exsctions have
been doubled and quadrupled, and tax
piled upon tax, until the system, no
longer bearable, is breaking down of it's
own weight, and its advocates are seek
ing to mask its atrocities by schemes
OF petended reciprocity.

and lacerated by the fierce action that
rent it asunder. The walls of the
canyon are SO precipitous that they
battle at all points and in many
places preclude ascent. Deep,
straight burrows that have been
plowed by the desolating shares of
snow slides through countless ages,
run from base to summit. Along
their margins, and on the sharp
ridges that divide them, fringe of
stunted trees cling in despairing
manner as if they were conscious that
any relaxation OF their tenacity would
be followed by swift and certain de-
struction. The summit in many
places is narrow comb of bare rock
offering safe footing for nothing
save the hawks and eagles that wheel
around il, and so serrated by natures
journeymen, Frost and Heat, that it
has the appearance OF . fantastic
frcsco traced along the blue wall OF
the o'er.arching sky. Further to the
northward the range becomes more
more majestic and grim, less
picturesque and threatening. Rising
from its denscly wooded base it soon
becomes almost destitute Of vegeta-
ton, presenting the appearance OF

granite whose pillows a. they mount

gealed and motionless forever. But
the genial breath and sunlight of au-
tumn that wrapped terrace and tow

hovers round and is inseparable from
granite grandeur, whether nature or
man's vanity has supervised the
