There is strong desire on the part
of young japanese to come to the
United States to acquire or perfect
themselves in the English language
and complete their education.
The welcome given to earlier stu
dents has led many who have entirely
insufficient means to undertake the
journey to come, indeed, with scarcely
more than enough to pay their pas
sage to this country.
Others, better provided for, have
no idea Of the increased cost of living
here, while many hope to receive aid
from persons who may become inter
ested in them here, or to find some
employment while they are carrying
on their studies.
The practical results are not al.
ways fortunate, and many of the stu.
dents referred to would be better off
at home.
The reputatian Of having been edu-
Gated in Europe or America has a
certain value at present in Japan.
however, and the Japanese students
are, almost without a single excep.
ton, a credit to their native country.

A PooRHoUsE THEIR ASYLUM.
Wigan is one of the great coal pro-
ducing centres of England a, well as one
of its manufacturing places. The town
has been literally undermined for coal,
some of the shafts running as far as
$500 feet underground. Close to the
centre of the city is the Meadows
Colliery, where men aud woman work
together year after year, and the first
sight that reaches their eyes when they
come above ground is the Wigan poor.

them.
A WOMAN FORTY YEARS WHEELING COAL.
Forty women of all ages aud con-
ditions were at work wheeling coal when
reached the Meadows CollIery. One of
them, though old and wrinkled, seemed
to have the muscles of an aulmsl. She
told me that her name was Eliza Rider,
fifty-fve years old, and that she had been
wheeling coal for forty years. She earns
forty-six cents day of ten hours.
When l asked her about her clothes,
she said that she wore trousers cast off
by the men. On the top of the pit 1
took photographs of the women with
their clogs on, while wheeling coal from
the pit to the dumps. They told me
they got forty cents day of ten hours.
Some were paid fifty-two cents.
One of the women said that her hus-

to certain extent upon the choice Of
the wearer.

may be classified as best The fully

A few rules in regard to gloves mai

and thoroughly dry your hands betor
placing your gloves on them; do moi
have them very tight about the palm,
and wrists; let them be of porous ma

In taking them off turn them inSid
out for airing.
There are persons who think, thai
gloves should be worn at night ii
order to preserve the softness of the
hands.

they are ill-suited to any one.
The custom of wearing gloves a
night originated with the ancient
Egyptians. Cleopatra, it is said
numbered this among her eccentricl
ties; but the folly was more fully de
veloped dnring the reign of Louii
XIV. of France. To-day persons wht

French may be selected as conspicu

The Tariff is a Tax.

The tariff is tax. We confess 1t,
announce il, assert it.
No intelligent man will try to deny
that it is a tax.
1t is heavy tax, an oppressive tax, a
STANDARDIZATION tax.
So far, so good. Just at this point
comes our mighty
But. 1t is the foreigner who is taxed,
oppressed and impoverished by it.
That simple fact throws food Of
light on the tariff tx question.
If you doubt, ask the tin-plate makers
of Wales who have seen their profits
disappear to make room for the Ameri-
eau tariff.
Ask the Chemnitz hosiery mauutac-
turers who have been delivering goods
in this market, duty paid, for less than
they received under the old aud lower
duty.
The pearl button manufacturers OF
Austria whose business has been cap
tured by America will tell you who is
oppressed by the Mckinley law.
So will the cotton tie makers of Eng
land.
So will the lace curtain makers of
Nottingham and the worsted manufac-
turers of Bradford, aud the plush men
of Huddersfeld.
These people can tell from experience
that they are oppressed aud taxed BY
our tariff.
They are all unanimously 10 favo of
its repeal. Every man of them W ould
vote for Cleveland If he could.
Not being able to vote, they pray for
his election and subscribe to his cam
paign fund.
They can afford to. The success OF
his policy would mean untold wealth to
them.
If money could elect President,
their money would elect Cleveland.
But, thank God, money cannot carry
an election against the convictions of
the American people. Least of all can
foreign gold do SO.
That is why Benjamin Harrison will
continue to occupy the White House for
some years yet.
But the tariff tax will stand.
Our people rejoice in it.

Sir Frederick Goldsmid tells an
amusing aneedote about the construc-
ton, under his superintendent, Of a
telegraph line from Bagdad, in Asia
Minor, to the Persian capital of Te-
heran.
The frontier line between Turkey
and Persia was 50 undefinable that q
tract of no less than seventeen miles
Of land over which the telegraph
would have to be carried was in dis
pute, each OF the two countries claim
ing the right TO its possession.
Now, the engineering stores which
our Government supplied to the
Turkish Government differed TO those
supplied to the Persian Government
The former had wooden telegraph
poles, the later iron ones. The Per
sian Government in their iealou,
hatred of the Turks, feared that il
wooden poles were erected across thu
disputed territory, posterity would
regard them as proof that the ter
ritory was Turkish.
On the other hand, the Turks OBJ
jected TO iron poles being used. leSi
in the far future they should be al.
duced by Persia as evidence that tho
land was hers

A sound and strong statement Of
what is right and why it is right, Of
what is wrong, and why it is wrong,
is a most needfGt foundation for any
other moral or religions training that

the lack Of this plain and reasonable
knowledge comes much OF the con-
fusion of mind which fails to detect
the sophiStry with which self-inter-
est will plead against the calls Of
honor and OF duty. People drift into
wrong-doing of every kind far oftener
than they deliberately plunge into it,
and the lack of II clear conception
and a thorough comprehension of its

with a young man of the same village,
and when they came to a toll-bridge
he put his more or less manly arm
around her waist and squeezed her
real hard. She made him take her
right home, and then had him arrest,
