The Harp With a single String.

Senator sherman is 81 il again In
his speech in New Work on Monday
night he once more sought to implicate
the fathers Of the Constitution and of
the first Tariff law in the Mckinley act
of SpOliatIon. Does Senator sherman
imagine that in this advanced stage of
the educational campaign his auditors
and the public generally are so ignorant
as not To know that the average rate of
duty in the first tariff did not reach 10
per cent? Does he think the American
people are so i'll informed rs 70 the histo-
ry of tins question as not la be aware
that the duties in the first tariff were
levied at this exceedingly low rate for
the express purpose of revenue, with
protection aR the Incident
The frameTS of the first tariff law ney-
ei dreamed of imposing duties with the
unconstitutional object of checking I'M
ports, winch Is the avowed purpose of
many duties in the Mckinley act. Nor
would II have ever entered into tueir
minds to levy duties ranging aus high As
~ ana 100 per cent. on clothing, han-
nelS, tin plate and other necesSaries OF
living. But Senator Sherman conten-
plates these barharuus and brutal taxes
on the necesSaries and comforts of the
people not merely with complacency,
but with voclferous approval He has
no warrants, however, To SANDER the pa-
triotlc founders of this Government of
equal rights and equal laws by quoting
their venerated names in behalf of a
shameful system of spoilation which
they would have regarded with the ut
most detestation.-FdtN. Rfoo,a.

Worn out Tobacco Land.

Some forty years ago a Connecticut farmer wrote to the Working Farmer asking what could be done for land inn poyerished by growing tobacco on it. Prof Mapes replied that what such land required was certain mineral constituents and he added formula for making a compost which would supply them. It may interest tobacco growers to know what the formula was, and here it is: For an acre of land, bone dust dissolved in sulphuric acid, 37 pounds, carbonate of potassa (dry) 50 pounds, carbonate of soda (dry) 8 pounds, carbonate of naguesia, 40 pounds, carbonate of lime (chalk) 96 pounds, common salt (chloride of sodium) 50 pounds; total 2S1 pounds. This, it was said. would not cost over S4
 The compost was to be used with ''half dose" of barn yard manure.

New Brakes for Housatonic Trains.

New Brakes for Housatonic Trains.
 A man named Guernsey has invented . perfect brake for freight cars and the new method is to be used on the Hous- atomic railroad. The Bridgeport Far mer thus describes test:
 Before starting from this city the engineer was given orders to get his train under as high speed as possible on the up grade to Trumbull, and at a signal to see how quickly he could bring the train to a full stop. When the train had attained speed of about thirty miles per hour, the signal was given. By the simple act of of closing the throttle the speed was checked with a audiences which if 1t had been unex- pected would have landed everybody upon their heads. By reversing the lever the train was brought to full stop within it's own length, result heretofore impossible with train go. ing at such speed. Again and again all the way to Trumbull trials were made in slowing down and coming to 8 full stop. General Manager Platt, oi the Housatonic, has already signed con, tracts to use the brake when fully satis. fled of its practicability.

THE HARTFORD

"A thing of Beauty is a joy for ever." It is not always the case, however, that the most beauti- ful things are the most useful. When you have in your poses sion a "Hartford' you have both beauty and utility com bined. Its mechanical con struction is as near perfection as is attained by any, and far exceeds many. The workman ship is the best that is to be ob- tained. Its running qualities are excelIed by none. The sad dle used is the ''Kirkpatrick," " and those once having used is, seldom care to make a change simply because 1t is the easiest and best saddle in every respect of any on the market. As re- yards pneumatic tires, ''Hart- lords" are fitted with the "Col umbia" Pneumatic, which is the king of tires. Before selecting your mount, it might be money saved for you to look at the "Hartford." Have something in the line of second hand wheels which I will sell cheap, in case you don't care to buy a new wheel to learn on.

The Only Female Mason.

The only female Free Mason in the world lives at Oakland, Cal. Her name is Mrs Salome Anderson. She was born in Alsace- Lorraine in 1918, and becoming an orphan at an early age, she went to Paris to reside with her uncle, who was a jealous and prominent Mason. The lodge meetings were held in his house, and with the curiosity of her sex she concealed herself in the room during a couple of the sessions and thus learned some of the mysteries of the order. She was, however, caught while thus hiding, and the secrets that she had discovered were then made sacred trust, for she was received into the fraternity.
