"IF it costs fifty cents to make an arti- cle in England and seventy five cents to make it in Waterbury the protectionist levies a duty of twenty-five cents to pro- tect the manufacturer and the working man" said Senator Aldrich last evening, This is true as far as the protection to the manufacturer is concerned, and that protection is assured by law. As re- gards the workingman, however, it is fallacious and misleading. There is no guarantee that the workingman can get his share of that twenty-five cents which the law exacts at the demand of the protectionist. The manufacturer can say that the difference in the price paid for labor in Europe and here in the article which they manufacture is twenty-five cents. And he may take it all. If the workingmen demur or pro- test, the lockout can be resorted to, or the more quiet method, "We need your services no longer" and the place filled with European labor at thei. European price of fifty cents, while;,'the manufac- turer smillnglyiputs the difference in his pocket. What redress. has the working man? To whom will he go for his share of that twenty-five cents which the law allows to be collected to protect the workingman as we'll as the manufac- turer?

An Electric Spring.

It was but plain mineral spring, but the cups that the patients drank from were fastened by a brass chain to an iron bar which inclosed the mouth of the bubbling spring. You were pre- vented from coming too close by another circular iron railing, about eight feet across. The ground around the spring was naturally moist, and it was either this ground or the iron railing which was one of the ends of an open electrical circuit. The cup held by the chain was the other end. The person drinking simply completed the circuit through his body, and when he had finished the attendant kindly and immediately re- moved the cup from his hand. The drinkers always felt that delightful tingling sensation," and rejoiced that they had found the fountain of youth. Some imagined they even felt the new blood coursing through their veins. A small induction coil ingeniously con- cealed, and connected with the cup and railing, was a cheap method for pro ducing that ''invigorating feeling."- Electrical Review.

Sharp Tricks of Cowboys.

In the old range cattle boom days, when money from foreign lands was pouring into the west like water, there were a good many sharp tricks practised in delivering cattle. It is recalled that Marquis de Mores, who tried to cut such conspicuous figure as a revolu- tionizer of the American meat trade, and who later became notorious as a due1list, was badly sold. While in Dakota, says the Chicago Drovers' Journal, he bought ten thousand head of cattle from two Englishmen. They were frst-class cattle and cost forty dollars head. When these two Britons delivered the cows they worked one ot the neatest "skin" games that was ever heard of. Medora, you know, sits in a valley, with table lands on each side. Well, the Englishmen ran five thousand head of cattle in on the marquis and collected for ten thousand. The way they did it was by running the same five thousand twice around the hill. De Mores never "tumbled" until he had paid his four hundred thousand dollars and the merry cockneys were bound for South America. It was clear steal of two hundred thousand dollars, but the marquis didn't make much bones about it. He had plenty of money and didn' f. care

THE Row-BoAT.
A Light Craft That the Whole Family Ca
 Take Pleasure In,

A Light Craft That the Whole Family Can
 Take Pleasure In.
 The row-boat has not been made as much of in this country as it might be. There is very definite notion that rowing is hard work, and that the ad- vantages derived from it are more than counterbalanced by its fatigues, but there is no form of exercise from which more health and pleasure can be de- rived than judicious rowing.
 The reason for the comparative un- popularity of the family row-boat in this country is ignorance, which is the root of much more evil than money is accountable for. When the father of a family thinks he would like a row-boat, he usually has a commodious, heavy, round-bowed, broad-sterned, modified whale-boat in his mind. For oars he knows only the heavy, flat-bladed ash very essential to the owner of the Whitehall wherry. His other idea of a row-boat is of the almost invisible shell made for the feats of athletes, or the drowning of venturesome tyros. Of late years there has come into fashion & double-ender row-boat, so narrow amidships and so low as to feet that neither the feet nor the oars can secure proper purchase. These boats have their uses on certain inland waters, and when the paddle instead of the oar is employed as the motive power there is vast pleasure and most hcalthful eXer- else to be obtained in them.
 But when the family is to be provid- ed with a boat it must be rowboat and not a canoe and it should be o1 such a character as to enable the wom- en of the household to take gentle and refreshing exercise. Women some. times become excellent handlers of the oar, and if rowing is not made toe much of labor they become greatly attached to it. The man who buys a small whale-boat and uses ashen oars must provide an awning for his wife and daughters to sit under while he tugs away at his la aborious task. Such a man usually wears a stiff linen shirt and collar when he rows and his fond. ness for this particular kind of aquatic amusement lasts about half the season. At the end of that time he is willing tc | give away his numbering craft.
 The family boat should be as light a! it can be to hold two rowers and a COX swain without being cranky. It should De DullU on the nOOeI or the WOrklnB boat of the athletes. It should have sliding-seats, and amidships it should | be just little wider than the seats. I | should have outriggers, and light spoon oars of spruce about eight feet long | with handles suited to the rower. arr l the proper kind. Such boats are oftel ! seen on the Thames and the Seine They may look dangerous to those un | accustomed to the water, but with | little practice anyone can manage one and the sliding-seat being conquered | rowing will be a delight that will b looked forward to from day to da,
 through the summer season.

Impecunious Clergymen.

Speaking of the poverty of the New England rural clergy, it is pretty cer- tain, according to the Public Ledger, that the clergy of the established church of old England are no better off. Five thousand of the 12,ooo curates receive less than S75O year, and some of them less than $500. There are many clergy men of the Congregational body in Eng land whose stipends range from $500 down to $500, and among the Baptists there are worthy ministers serving for s5 a week. These lamentable facts have led to suggestions that clergymen should be allowed to engage in busi ness to el1e out their incomes. Mention is made of minister not far from Lon don who follows the florists trade and has grown quite wealthy. Another in Yorkshire cobbles shoes when he isn't writing sermons or visiting his parish toners. Another is an active partner in an iron bedstead business, and another is great hand at buying horses for his patrons at the rural fairs. In New Eng land 1t has long been taken as a mat ter of course that the minister in the smaller villages should know how tc run farm.

FLORISTS have managed of late years to produce curious and striking neutral tints in nasturtiums quite out of keep ing with the brilliant splendors that one usually expects from those flowers. But the plants manifestly suffer from the process that leads to this unnatural chromatic color development, for leaf, stem and blossom are all weak and deli cate in comparison with the usual TO- bust nasturtiums of the brighter colors. The blossoms especially are few in number and small in size, and the plant less easily endures drought than it's old, fashioned brethren

OQERWORKED CLERK.
This Will Greatly Interest You.

A young, hardworking clerk broke down in health and strength from over work and overstrain upon the nerves. Through nervous weakness he fell into Encouragement, because wife, mother and sister were dependent upon him.
 The same applies to thousands of overworked clerks, mechanics and others who see themselves growing thin in flesh, pale and sallow, and find them selves losing their physical strength and strong nerve. They grow weak, ner- vous, tire easy, have dull-feeling head, backache, kidney and liver complaint, wake tired mornings, lose their appetite, become constipated, feel miserable, old. They are rapidly breaking down, and should use immediately the great nerve strengthener and blood invigorator, Dr Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It will give a clear head, strong and steady nerves, vigorous strength of body, perfect action of kid neys, liver and bowels, and thus they will be able to keep up to their work.

ARE the country taverns deteriorat- ing, inquires an exchange. They used to be described as places noted for their jollity, hospitality and comfort. Per haps people were easily satisfied in those days. At all events, a traveller who has had good deal of experience with them, especially in the east ern and middle states, declares they are higher as to rates than they used to be, and lower as to service They are more pretentious but less com fortable, their landlords having learned some tricks from the summer hotel pro- prietors, and later hours are kept there. Tn the villages the taverns used to be dark by eleven o'clock, and early risers could have breakfast before six. Now there are people in the bar until after midnight, and the first meal is seldom served until eight o'clock. Formerly the transient rates were twenty-five cents each for meals and lodging; now they are fifty cents.

THE loss of the control of the senate is
 just beginning to be fully realized by the republicans. The latest democratic figures make the senate stand after March 4, 1893, democrats forty-three, republicans forty, peoples party two, leaving the legislatures of Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas, which are at present controlled by the peoples party
 in doubt. If the peoples party can re. tain control of these legislatures or of any one of them the number of peoples party senators will be increased; but even granting what few believe to be
 possible that the republicans will elect a
 majority of the legislatures in those | three states and get the senators! that would only give them total of forty.
 three, against the same number of dem ocrats, so that in any event the republi cans are doomed to lose control of the senate, unless they can capture the legislature of some of the states now re garded as certainly democratic. This
 is very important, as it makes possible
 after the election of Cleveland anC
 Stevenson, an immediate revision of the
 tariff, as on that question the peoplet
 party senators will vote with the demo
 crats, and there is little or no doubt tha
 the next house will be democratic by
 good working majority.

What Mckinley Thinks of Hair.

While common goat hair has been de clared dutiable as second class wool at twelve cents per pound under the McKin- ley act it is quite noteworthy that COW hair and calf hair are free of duty. That human hair should be free of duty and goat hair taxed twelve cents per pound; that calf hair worth seventeen cents should be on the free list, and the hair of the pauper goat costing two cents per pound should be subject to twelve cents duty, are some of the interesting features of the Mckinley bill.-Wool and Cotton Reporter.

HOW TO LIVE IN HEALTH.
Practical Suggestions Regarding Physical
 Uprightness.

Practical Suggestions Regarding Physical
 Uprightness.
 It goes without saying that the first requisite for happiness and usefulness is health. People adapt themselves to their condition, so that certain degree of happiness and usefulness Is attained by many who are invalids or semi-in- valids, but it is to be doubted if ever the highest degree of either is possi- ble without a sound physique. So many days are wasted and so many powers lie dormant because of the weakness and the disease in the subjects themselves, and more than this, the time and strength of others who must care for the sick are turned into fields which are not oductive-often being posi- lively diverted from nobler channels Christian graces may thrive and even blossom into rare loveliness in the at mosphere of the invalids chamber, but it must be in spite of ill-health, not be. cause of it. To be temperate in eating and drinking, is to live in health and to live well. With long, esta ablished social traditions to con- tend with, it requires no small cour- age to set before ones family and guests, simple, nutritive food, whole somely prepared, and to suffer being called todd" or "a crank'' because one refuses late suppers, ice cream and confectionery. But in the long run. your physical uprightness will be am ply rewarded. You will be able tc work clearly, continuously and well, and barring accident. reach the highly ripened old age which crowns virtu- ous life. Let then your first duty be the upbuilding of sound physical frame and it's maintenance in healthy equi- librium by strict obedience to the laws of hygiene. Health.

A CHICAGO man says, in all serious ness, that he was once living in a hotel in the Windy city where the custom was chiefly that of travelling drummers who were accustomed to being called at all sorts of hours. One night he had just reached his room when terrific storm burst over the city and three dis tinct claps of thunder sounded, close to the hotel Said he: "Every man in the house sat up, yawned and shouted: I hear you.

MRS JOHN A. LOGAN, who was origin ally in favor of keeping the world's s fair closed on Sunday, has changed her mind ,and is now in favor of allowing the gates to remain open on that day, pro- vidiug the machinery be shut down. Mrs Logan explains her change of opin- ion by saying that she was originally put on record at a woman's meeting where she voted on the Question as put by Mrs Lucas: "All who are against dishonoring the Sabbath say aye" Of course she said 'aye,' and would again to the same proposition. She has come to the conclusion, however, after further investigation, that the Sabbath would not be dishonored by keeping the worlds fair open on that day.

It's just about time he did. The boy who is in one of our handsome $3 suits when school opens will be somewhere near the head of his class when school closes. You cannot improve on tfese suits anywhere in America for either style, durability or price. They'll come pretty near lasting until your boy out grows them, no matter how hard he may be on clothes. They cost no more than suits which, in week, will go to pieces in the play ground, and they won't look un- presentable when finally discarded. In other words, they are built to stand tbe racket and it doesn't make much differ ence how rough the racket is. Just as durable, well designed and inexpensive are our suits at $150, $2, $4, $5, $6.
