Such 10 Life,

In the beginning Mr Theophilus l.. Globster made present of s25 worth of toys to the orphan aylum.
 And the Daily Bugle credited the kind deed to Theodore Globster.
 And the Evening Radicator gave honor to Thomas Gloster.
 And the semi-weekly Eaglet gave great praise to 'our esteemed fellow citizen. Mir. T. G. Lobster" "
 It came to pass that Mir. Globster read the Bugle Radicator and Eaglet and saw what liberties had been taken with his hitherto untarnished name.
 And in his righteous wrath and modification he sought for the illusory consolation of the bowl and waxed puroarious and bellicose until the laws minions were compelled to con- fine him for time and in due course he was adjudged Of the Cadi.
 And the Bugle. the Evening Radi- cator and even the semi weekly Eag- let announced with unanimity of correctness:

THE PASSING OF A DREAM.

A smile. a shadow, on the sky, Alternate come and 90 A stifed stiffness, then a breeze Breathing of mountain snow, Come OCT the valley. each in turn, Till shadows falter low. Thro'sheets of light the streamlet flows Then shadows dense and wide, Anon In peaceful manner sings, Then. ere the song has died. Walls loud OCT rocks and is at last Lost in the seas dark tide And SO our span of life is past, A smile a shade, a sigh, Despairing calms and times inspired By holy thoughts and high. Der stony ways, thro' peaceful glens, Till we meet eternity. A little waking. little sleeping, A little laughter, a little weeping,
 And then a long. long silence.

Free Wool.

If our people were given free wool 1t would so speedily demonstrate the wisdom Of free raw materials for our woolen manufacturers that it would undermine and destroy the whole sys- tenn of taxing raw materials as pro- vided by the Mckinley tariff. We made hides free some years ago not withstanding it affected every farmer who slaughtered his own beef but it was done for the protection of the great leather industry of the country, By giving our leather manufacturers free hides we soon became the entire masters of the American market fur nishing our own leather, manufactur- ing our own shoes. and the whole peo- pie are now supplied with American shoes that are the best and cheapest ever offered on the market
 A like experiment in free wool would speedily give American manu- lecturers the absolute control of the American market and American wool ems would soon entirely exclude European woolens from our land To day every well-dressed American. as a rule. wears entirely foreign woolen s and he does so simply for the reason that our high taxes on fine wools make it impossible for American in- dustry to furnish the best quality of woolen goods We have the capital. the energy. the skill the machinery; in short we have everything necessary to produce the finest woolens but the Mckinley tariff protects English mills and English labor. and glves them the best part of our American market by taxing the raw materials of our manufacturers
 If it be true. as the Manufacturer says that the price of clothing has not been increased by the Mckinley tariff. :t is simply because our manufacturers are suffering just to the extent 10 which increased taxes have been put on the raw material IL certainly costs more to manufacture wooien cloth with high taxes on wool than il does with cheap ia es on wool and somebody must be paying that tax Il the consumer is not paying it the manufacturer is paying it and that the manufacturer is paying it is evi dent in the repeated reductions in ,hs wages of labor In point of fact the tax is largely paid by our working men. whose wages are reduced becauss Of the taxes upon the necessities O their industry. Give us free wool ana practical common sense in the proiee l tica of our industries --Phila- Times

MODERN COMMODITY.
Sugar Was Not Used or Known in tn
 Early Ages.


 Early Ages.
 A writer who has been studying the history of sugar recently contributed to a foreign periodical an article whose facts in a condensed form Americans like brevity will equally interest readers in this country.
 It is difficult to imagine that a com modity which seems at the present day almost indispensable. was unknown in the early ages In ancient Greece honey was the substitute says the Washington Post The word saccharum occurs but once in the Latin transla- tions of the Bible and the equivalent for our sugar. is first found in Pliny.
 The Romans" says the famous au- thor, first became acquainted with sugar in Arabia Felix. but the Indian is better He terms it honey col lected in reeds.
 Lucan in his description of India. speaks of the sugar whose sweet juice was eaten in five different ways and Statins, in his account of the Saturn alia mentions among the viands flung by order of the Emperor Domi. tian among the populace this food. boiled from Elosian reeds Elosia was a province Of Arabia, and this food was sugar.
 Among other ancient and classic writers Dioscorides speaks still very ignorantly of sugar: The name of sugar was given to the honey pro- duced by reeds without bees" while strabo says: They make the honey, produced without bees which some what resembles salt"
 Arian, in his Circuit of the Red Sea. y also alludes to the sap which flows from the reeds and is thickened and Seneca speaks of the use of burned sugar in the dishes prepared by the Indians and thinks that they spoil the teeth.
 The first sugar cans are said to have been brought to Sicily in HIS. whence they were carried to Spain. About 1908 the Spaniards brought some plants to the Antilles and in the sew enteeth century large plantations were set out by immigrants The cultiva- ton of this plant increased to such an e tent that in 1779. Jamaica alone produced 800. 900 hundredweight and the crop of all the islands. estimating each hogshead at fl5. amounted to S9. 900. o00 but in 1794 SEQ. 900 COG worth of sugar was received at Ham. burg alone

 One by one. in swift succession the many evils of the war tariff are 10 be attacked. One by one so far as if lies with the great majority in the popular branch of our national legis- lature to accomplish the results it SO earnestly desires the wrongs which McKinleyism has inflicted upon our business interests will find effective remedy. The representatives of the Democratic party in congress have been in entire accord as to the great duty of combating ultra protection The only mOoted questions have been those of measures and the plan of campaign. This debated issue is now finally settled At a recent inter- esting meeting ot the committee on ways ard means it was voted to adopt the line of tactics which Chairman Springer has SO earnestly advocated Those members who had favored the submission of general bill for the revision of the tariff cordially &C., ouiesced in the judgment of the ma jorify and the party will present united front in that great congression- al campaign which must inevitably exert such powerful influence upon the result of the presidential contest next November. The citadel Of ultra protection, besieged by the gallant host that rallies unitedly under the banner of right and justice. should be undermined so completely that. long before the convention month Of June. the people may count with absolute confidence upon the unconditional sur render Of all the Mckinley array. It is of course the bouuden duty of all the friends of the Democratic cause at the capital steadily to maintain the spirit Of loyalty as well as the purpose 10 act together which were so unmis- takably manifested at the con- ference. If this duty be fulfilled there can be no doubt or shadow of. .doubL that the majority in the national house of representatives will make a noble and winning record in the paramount cause Of tariff reform. m.-Baltimor Sun

Ancient Beds.

Beds now such indispensable pieces of furniture, were to the Greeks and Romans articles of great luxury When they exchanged the leaves and skins of beasts, on which their heroic ancestors reposed for mattresses and feather beds the bedsteads were made sometimes of ebony. sometimes Of ivory. sometimes cedar. and some times silver. It would be difficult nowadays in the middle rank Of life, to find beds such as our ancestors slept on. not only with their wives and children but with their dogs and their friends: an invitation to such a couch was then considered the strong est proof of affection and confidence that could be given.
