England the Land of Shoddy-America the
Land of Pure Wool.

There are, according to the official
British report under the Factories and
Workshops Act 125 shoddy mills in
Great Britain, employing 4,5O3 hands.
In the United States, according TO the
last census report, there are % shoddy
mills, employing 2,266 hands. 1t is
estimated that the British shoddy mills
turn out four times as much shoddy as
is consumed by all the manufacturing
establishments in this country.
English authorities show that Great
Britain manufactured of raw woods,

Mr.. Webster on occasions drank
heavily. 1t is related that just before
entering the senate to pronounce his
great speech in reply to Hayne, he re-
inforced himself by taking nearly
full glass of brandy, which was his
favorite ''tipple" whenever he felt the
need of something to assist his staying
powers. 1t was no unusual thing for
public men then to take their drains
with regularity. There were those
who imbibed more frequently than
was useful, and it was this that led to

TEMPERANCE legislation Is on the pro-

1t is reported that local option will
form part of this legislation, and also
the closing of public houses on election

an unusual number of public houses
are offered for sale. The temperance
people never before had so many repre-

creates the wealth of the nation, and

1t is putting it mildly to say that the
free traders are desperate under this
fusilade of official reports, denying fatty
and in toto their calamitous assertions
as to the effects of the new tariff. The
| Democratic National committee APP
| pointed a subcommittee to investigate
Mr.. Peck's figures, but with poor re-
suits for them up to date.
The truth of the matter is, there is no
room in this prosperous republic for a
party whose stock in trade is calamity
only. That is why the democratic party
is now on the run, frightened nearly to
death by the magnificent showing of
Mckinley induced prosperity which
rises to confront them on every hand.

Why 1t Is Well for Persons to Sleep by
Themselves.
If these were more numerous than
they are, great many people would
be better off When one is tired, sick,
cross, restless, out-of-sorts, he or she
ought to sleep alone and not commune
cate by proximity the maladies that
affect him. The brute creatures when
sick go away by themselves till they
die or get over their troubles, and this
instinct a great many human beings
have; those that have it are best if in
dulged in it, not to the slightest de-
gree of neglect, however. Left to
themselves, they can compose their in
ternal discussions, recover their lost
equilibrium, and get back their habit

continually disturbed, and crossed
and interrupted, they are long time
in getting back to the normal.
Where two children in family must
share the same room, in a great many
cases they would be better off to have
two single beds rather than one wide
double bed. We can share great
many things with those we love, but
solitude clings to us from birth to
death. We come into the world alone,
we must go out of it alone, in a certain
important sense, and to get and keep
our bearings we must sometimes be
left alone. 1t is good that we should
be. He who has his bed to himself may
be essentially alone for portion of the
twenty-four hours, may have himself
to himself, and adjust his internal
mechanism to his own satisfaction.
For great many woes and ills, solitude
is a balm-what we call solitude-for
when alone the immaterial asserts it.

As seen there are more liquor saloons
in New York and Brooklyn than pub
lie school buildings in the state, while
the entire cost of the latter was $780,
900, 900 less than the annual receipts OF
the saloons. In one month and nine
teen days the saloons received as much
for liquors as was paid to the Sl,9S2
school-teachers for the entire year.
The total expenditure for schools in
1891 (S17, 0l2, $3.50 was only 81 per cent
of the cost of the saloons in these cit

would provide for the education of -

Jack COoIey's Funeral,

About two thousand people are
said to have attended the funeral of
Jack Cooley, the Fayette county rob
Der, on Sunday afternoon. Many went
through curiosity expecting dem
onstration of some kind, probably an
attempt to arrest other members of
the gang. His relatives ant. friends
belonging to the robber band visited
his home in the morning and viewed
the remains but none of them attend
ed the funeral Thinking that the
large crowd had gathered through
mere idle curiosity the family refused
to open the casket for any one to see
the remains of the dead man.
A gentleman from this place at
tended the funeral, who says that it
was an unusually quiet occasion even
for funeral, everyone was waiting
with bated breath for something,
they knew not what, to happen, but
nothing occurred out Of the ordinary.
