The American Girl Abroad.

"a "Reminiscences comes to my mind"
writes Justin McCarty in volume of
"Recollections of Parliament" about
American visitors to the house of COM
mons. The American girl has no re-
spect for musty traditions. Some
years ago we used to be permitted to
take ladies into the library, but the
rule was strict that they must not be
allowed to sit down there. I was once
escorting a young American married
woman through the various rooms of
the library, and mentioned to her, as
a matter of more or less interesting
fact, that it was against the rules for
a woman to sit down there. is that
really law of the place." she asked,
With wide opened and innocent eyes.
The very law 1 answered. Then
said she calmly, just see me break itn
And she drew a chair and resolutely
sat down at the table"

An Evident Moral.

A Maine woman who had an ire
ligious husband kept driving at him
until she finally got him to 60 to
church. Now mark how she was re-
warded. Instead of following the serv-
ice he looked at the congregation and
noticed how much more handsomely
the other women were dressed than
his wife. The fact pricked him to the
heart as no words of the minister
could, and the next day he gave his
wife 800 and told her to 60 and buy
some clothes. Need we enlarge on the
moral of this story? We think not

Something to Eat.

he inquired humbly of the cook at the
kitchen door. "Oh, yes-plenty," she
said with smiling generosity. you
can get chop at the woodpile, or a

yard, or a bite of meat from the dog,
or a roast from the lady of the house

from the hired man Or" Jaw,

Margaret Fuller used to be account

she was, for Mrs. Sherwood credits her
with having once said: Never talk

precept into practice that Miss Fuller
gained her great celebrity as con-

the erection of warehouse and office

basement. They will have their office
in front and storage room enough on
their three spacious floors to store a

On Monday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
w. P. Huntington entertained select
circle of their musical and music-lov
ing friends. One object of the gather
ing was to have good social evening.
and that was attained. Both host and
hostess know we'll how to make thei
friends happy, exerted themselves fol
this end, aud were highly successful
Another object of the gathering was
that the guests might have the privil
eye of meeting Miss ForEusA, a young
lady friend of Mrs, Huntington, who
is distinguished vocal and instru-
mental musician. Miss Forbush, who
is here meantime on a visit, devote:
almost her entire time and energies t.
music, has spent years in the acquisi-
ton of it, and means to follow it as &
profession. Trained first under the
best masters in Buffalo, N. Y, she en-,
tered, some time ago, the Boston Con-
seryatory of Music, and finished there.
Whether in playing or singing, elias
steal music is her fort, though in the
execution of music of a less portentious
type, she is able by natural gift and
culture, to throw into it SO much ex
preston as to raise it to the classica
level. Seldom in any of the western
states is lady met with who is able
both to play and sing SO we'll, as tc
command breathless attention to every
note. Such was the case in Mrs. Dun
nington's drawing room on Monday
evening while Miss Forbush did the
entertaining. There was strong de-
sire manifested that an effort should
be made to get Miss Forbush to give
lessons in Redwood Falls, and it is be-
lieved that if a sufficient number Of
pupils come forward, this may be
secured.

A Home Witness on Foreign Prices.

Home Witness on Foreign Prices.
Frank Whitman, who spent two
winters in the Argentine" Republic.
South America, as agent for the Nc
Cormick Company, was question d
briefly last week about the prices OF
American machinery there. He said
that so far as the Mccormick machin-
cry was concerned, it was billed on
board vessels for South American deal
ers at an advance in price as compared
to railroad shipments at home, as the
cost of Grating for the long voyage
was greater. The harvesters were re-
tailed to the Argentine purchaser at
$3.50 in American money-an advance
of more than 500 over the cost to
Minnesota farmers. The harvesters
are sold in competition with other har
vesters, mostly of foreign make, and
sell readily because they are better
adapted to their purpose than the more
bulky foreign machines. So far as
Mr.. Whitman's knowledge went, no
manufactured articles from the states
are sold to South American dealers at
less prices than to home dealers. Frank
is of opinion that under the working of
the reciprocity treaties, the United
States will soon have the lions share
(the British lion's) of the South Amer
lean trade in farm machinery and i'm
plements, because ours are better, and
being free from duty, will be cheaper
also.
In confirmation of Franks state
ments we refer to D. L. Bigham, who
also spent two winters in the Argen-
tine Republic, as the representative of
a Chicago manufacturing company.
Mr.. Bigham investigated these mat
ters thoroughly, and we suggest that
he should be called upon in the near
future to enlighten one of the Repub-
lican league meetings on this point.
1t is not unlikely that manufacturers
in this country occasionally sacrifice
their profits on particular consign-
ments, in order to introduce their
goods: Everybody knows that manu-
facturers in this country spend thou
sands of dollars to introduce their
goods in the home market, in the va
rious forms of free samples, special
discounts and other similar schemes.
1t is our opinion that every authentic
case of discrimination in favor of for
eign buyers can be traced to similar
motive.
