A Republican Senator on Prices.

In the recent debate in the senate upon
the report of the committee on finance on
retail prices and wages one Republican
senator was honest enough to admit the
truth. In answer to the contention Of
Senator Aldrich that prices had fallen a
fraction of l per cent. under the operation
of the Mckinley bill, Senator Stewart used
the following language:
"Of course the tariff upon anv article
will raise the price of that article until
there is competition produced here. Then
it may cheaper it. But that the tariff
would have an important effect to reduce
prices is most ridiculous It's first tend
ency is to advance prices. No
one ever before contended that a tariff
would in the year it was enacted lower
prices. On the contrary, it has not had
that effect. 1t has not had that effect in
reference to the Mckinley act, because the
prices in Europe have fallen lower than
here. 1t has the effect to sustain prices
here rather than lower them"
To prove the correctness of this view
Senator Stewart then quoted from the
London Economist as follows:
There has yet been no cessation of the
fall in the prices of commodities which,
generally speaking, have been steadily
dwindling for the past couple of years.
Throughout the whole of the first half of
1892 the quiet downward movement has
been continued, with the result that our
index number, representing the prices of
twenty-five leading commodities, stands
at the close of the half year at 2,0S1, and
compares with Immediately preceding half
years thus:

is 1T all FANCY?

There are so many ways of doing
things, and each housekeeper who
writes is so sure that her way is by all
odds the very best, that sometimes
one is quite confused, as frequently
the methods conflict with each other.
coffee. was taught to grind the ber
nv rather fine, put it in a clean coffee
pot, pour on cupful or more of boil
ing water and put it on the stove to
boil for at least five minutes; then to
fill up with more boiling water and
take to the table. BY the time the
family were seated, the grounds
would be settled, and the coffee of n
clear amber hue; and when well sea-
soned with real cream and loaf sugar,
l thought there was nothing else SO
delicious, and I nave not changed my
mind since. But when [ read of
more excellent way of doing any
work, like to try it, and if / find it is
in any manner better than the one |
have been accustomed to, [ accept it
at once. So I have been trying some
experiments with coffee.
Some writer's declare that coffee is
spoiled by boiling; and recommend
grinding the berry very fine and then
pouring on hot water, letting the cof-
fee-pot stand where it will keep hot
for ten, fifteen or twenty minutes.
When l made it according to such di-
rections, / expected to hear our cof-
fee-tasters cry out at the unusual de-
iciousness of the beverage; but not
single remark was made. Finally just
before the meal was over, / asked how
they liked the coffee; why, it was all
right; it was always good. But why
did / ask? When told the reason, they
could see no difference. At another
time tried grinding it very coarse,
according to direction, and soaking
over night in cold water, heating but
not boiling, when wanted. The cof-
fee needed straining, for the coarse
part of the grains would float; but the
flavor was the same. / always liked
to pour the coffee on the cream and
sugar, fancying that doing so added
good deal to the fine flavor. But the
other day that method was discussed
in the presence of a guest, and he said
that his wife had that notion, but he
could never taste any difference,
whether the seasoning went into the
cup first or last, and the rest were like
him. Hence, concluded that the de-
the variety of berry used than in the
manner of sleeping or seasoning.

If a lover should be false some
slight Irritation perhaps-do you think
it does any good to tell the woman?
Never. Perhaps you do not agree

happiness lies in her faith in her lover
or her husband, the knowledge of that
broken faith means nothing but mis-
cry For no woman can forgive the
man who has once been untrue to her;
can never forget tit will always be

given her love, do you not think it is
a case of ''Where ignorance is bliss,
tits folly to be wise?'' IA fools para

THE WAIST OF WOMEN.-While the
10 or 2O-inch waists may be deform-
ity in an adult woman, it may be just
ly doubted whether the 26-inch waist
of Venus de Medici is not somewhat
too large to be in proportion with the
figure of the average American wo-
man. tits characteristic of women of
the highest type of the Indo- European
races to have wide hips and narrow
waists. In other races the hips are
narrower and the waist larger. The
American woman appears, in conse-
quence of her large hip measurement,
to have a smaller waist that she actu
ally has. To the unskilled masculine
eye a girl with waist of % or 2215
inches may seem to have wasplike
figure, when in reality her measure
ment is very nearly what it should be
to satisfy the critical Judgment of an
artist or her family physician.
