Slightly Shocked.
From Monday's paily.


The Dalles is keeping up with the pro
cession, OF late a number of the towns in
this state and California have enjoyed the
sensation of genuine earthquake and not
to be behind time the residents of the city
this morning experienced the same novelty.
1t took place about 3 o'clock, the vibrations
being plainly felt and seemed to travel from
north to south. The ''quake" was Of short
duration, bnt lasted long enough to impress
itself upon the minds of several who sud-
denly awoke and had to guess whether they
had just escaped an encounter with large
sized night mare or had been struck with a
flag" No harm was done to any enc, SO
far as learned, but one citizen who happened
to get up to obtain glass of water for a
juvenile member of the family was so start
led by the sudden tremor that he involun-
tarily drank the liquid to steady his nerves.

British Goods at a Disadvantage /.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-In the house of
commons today Colonel Howard Vincent,
OF Sheffield, asked what nations had
made arrangements with the United States
for the admission of American products
under reciprocity provision of the Nc
Kinley law, and whether British products
would be at a disadvantage in such
countries. The Fright Honorable James
Lowther, conservative member of parlia
ment for Thanet, who like Colonel Vim
cent, is an advocate of some form of pro-
lection for British products, SAID that
British goods were at a disadvantage
under the American reciprocity treaties
with Brazil and San Domingo, and that
the president of the United States had
given notice to other countries that if
they should not decide to take advantage
of the reciprocity provision the United
States would impose prohibitory tariff
on certain of their products.

springer's Wool Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-The reports of
the majority and minority of the house
committee ON ways and means, to accom-
pany the Springer wool bill, have been
prepared and will be presented to the
house tomorrow. The majority report
was prepared by Springer, and the NIL
nority by Burrows. of Michigan. The
majority report says the Mckinley bill
passed with enormous rates of duties.
Many of then are prohibitory and all are
unnecessarily high. "There was no good
reason" says the report, "for maintaining

such high taxes upon articles SO necessary
to the health and comfort of the people
| Twenty five per cent was all the protec.
tion the wool manufacturers IN 1857
asked, but it seems in the case of wooden
goods, as well as all others, the amount
of protection required increases from
year to year. AS the industries grow
older and are better established more
protection IS demanded. The wool
growers of 1867 believed the imposition
of high tariffs on wool would secure them
control of the hcme market. The result
proves how greatly they were mistaken,
and how Intellectual the law has been to
produce condition they desired. AS to
Its effects on prices wool has steadily de
cllned from 1867, when 1t was worth SO
cents per pound. The Mckinley act
increased the duty on wool and average
OF cent per pound. The result has been
fall in the prices of 9 to cents per
pound, instead of rise. The result of
twenty five years of experiment has been
reduction of one. half in the number of
sheep in the states east of the Mississippi
and Missouri Rivers, and a reduction OF
one half cent in the price of the WOOL
goods been benefited by the imposition
of high duties on wool and wooleD goods,
the quality of such goods has deteriorated
from year to year to year since the dis
covefy of machinery for converting
woolen rags into substitutes for wool.
The high protective tariff on wool has
the direct effect of limiting the demand
for American woods, for the reason that
under such tariffs neither domestic woods,
nor manufactures of wool, can be ex
ported and sold at a profit. Only that
amount of domestic wool will be pur-
chased and consumed which is required
to mix with foreign wool to produce the
required quality and quantity of goods to
supply the home market.
The minority report says that from
both the wool consumers and the manu-
facturers there comes an almost unani.
nous sentiment that the law be per
mitted to stand as il is. Not only are
the growers and manufacturers benefited
by the law, but the consumers have
shared the benefit. The people of the
United States find themselves able to
secure the woolens required at q smaller
cost than ever before. The COMMITTEES
bill proposes to deprive the wool grow
ing industries of the United States at one
blow of the entire tariff protection it has
enjoyed. The effect will be
the complete and final abandonment of
the effort to produce in the United States
the supply of wool needed for the clothes
of our people. The bill does not mean
cheaper wool for the masses, but does
mean the wiping out of great properties,
a curtailment of our industrial resources.
and is savage blow aimed at our agri
without prospect of compen-
'ation or benefit In any quarter.

" Cheap Girls"

The unpleasant phrase " cheap girls {"
has arrested my attention more than
once, and l have wondered what sort
of girls they are. Are they those whose
loud laughter and talking draws to
them the attention of every one in the
car? Are they those whose voices call
us to The window as they pass? Do
they wear skirts 80 narrow, shoes so
tight, waist so small, that their gait is
an amusement or a marvel? Do they
puff up their shoulders above their ears,
and piece their skirts down from the
top in order that they may sweep the
streets? l wonder are they the girls
who place themselves in the way of
young men? Who "make errands -
which will carry them into business
streets, and call frequently on girls who
have brothers? How easily their flimsy
device is seen through, and what sneers
it occasions. Dear girls, don't be cheap.
Don't make " bargain counter" of
your church vestibule, and offer your
smiles and your vivacious talk to the
young man whose person and manners
have pleased your fancy.-Ladies' Home
Journal.

On the FIy-Leaf.

The following interesting inscription
is written on the fy-leaf of Professor
H. l.. Drummond's Bible, and was fur
nished for publication by one who had
permission to copy it: "To find out
Gods will. Q) Pray. (2) Think. 81
Talk to wise people; but do not regard
their judgment as final. (4) Beware
OF the bias of your own will; but do not
be too much afraid of it God never I'M
necessarily thwarts mans nature and
iikings, and it is a mistake to think that
his will is in the line of the disagree
able). (5) Meantime, do the next
thing (for doing Gods will in small
things is the best preparation for know
ing it in great things). (6) When de-
cision and action are necessary, go
ahead. CD Never reconsider the de-
cision when it is finally acted upon; and
(S) You will probably not find out till
afterward, perhaps long afterward, that
you have been led at all"

Some of the most vital portions of
Gods Word are in the form of COM
mandments. "Thou shalt" and "thou
shalt not" are planted all along our
pathway to define the limits between
right and wrong-between what we
may do and what we may never do.
God never takes down his fences or
lowers them by hand-breadth. Let the
70 ;ewater pulpits preach what they will,
Sinai is not an extinct volcano in Bible
theology. Churches may revise their
Confessions of Faith as often as they
choose, but the Almighty never allows
his laws to be revised-or repealed. In
these days we need more of the sacred
authority of law in our homes, more
enforcement of law in the community,
more preaching of divine law in our
pulpits, and more claw work " in the
conversion of souls who can represent
and serve Jesus Christ by keeping his
commandments. The very essence of
sin is-breaking down or breaking
through Gods fences.-Theodore l..
Cuyler.

Ash Mans Day.

A wealthy newspaper man who lives
in Brooklyn has six year-old daughter
who possesses an alert and inquiring
mind. Recently she has become a
close student of the almanac. She
keeps the family posted on the weather
and is well informed regarding all of
the church days and the public holt
days. One morning last week she
overheard her mother il curing whether
the ashman was likely to make his
rounds that day. Before the servant
could reply the little girl piped up:
ooh, no, mamma, the ashman won't be
here until March g." "Why, yes, my
child" said the mother, she certainly
must come to-day or Tomorrow" "But
he can't" persisted the little one,
"cause that is his day." "What do
you mean, dear?" asked the mother,
somewhat puzzled. "Here it is in the
almanac" said the child. " See, March
2 is Ash Wednesday."-New York

Kings New Discovery for Consump-

the best remedy. Reports from the

results. We ask you to give this rem
edy trial, and we guarantee that you
will be satisfied with results, or the pur-
chase price will be refunded. 1t has

Not a Good Medicine.

Much has been claimed for whisky as
a valuable agent to ward off disease in
many forms. Asked recently by rep
sentative of the New York World as to
Its value as preventive of the prevail
ing grip, DR.. George T. Shrady, an
eminent medical authority of that city,
is reported as saying: " Whisky is never
good to ward off anything. Good food
is the best means with which to ward
off disease. To dose with VIII sky is
like adding shavings to the fire. There
is no physical, mental, or moral excuse
for mans drinking whisky as a pre-
ventive of disease" DR.. Shrady's
emphatic and timely testimony should
be influential in helping to dispel the
popular but mischievous whisky delu-
sion.
