Some of Mr.. Paul's school boys, aided by a
few West End friends somewhat older than
themselves, entertained their Basin audi
ence very well in st. Johns School house on
Wednesday evening. Our relatives Honesty
Rewarded and the trial scene from the Mer-
chant of Venice, were all rendered distinctly,
without stumbling, with very few mistakes in
pronunciation and altogether in a creditable
manner. That they were appreciated was
shown by the quiet attention with which they
were followed throughout. We wish we
could apply the last remark also to the songs
which came between but these were appre-
ciated either too little or too much, according
to the view that is taken of the rather noisy
demonstrations with which they were often
accompanied. Our thanks are due to the
amateurs who undertake to sing for us, and if
we wish them to continue their e~ffortsI we
must at least be willing to give them a quiet
and attentive hearing.

Minor Medical Mention.

DIR. HAMMOND reports that during the
past ten years seventy men have died
suddenly from the strain OF running
after street cars.
ATLANTA, Ga, claims ito have the
most interesting natural curiosity In a
man 122 years of age. Hiram Lester
was years old when this country was
born and has son 70 years Of age.
IN small village in France woman
died in labor. There'was no physician
present, but knowing priest performed
an operation by which he brought living
presence OF mind and experiences, result
ever, contrary to man made law. So the
priest had to be arrested and convicted
for illegal practice and was fined fifteen
francs. Tho States Of this Union are
already loaded down with just such leg
islation, and the only reason why it Is
not regarded as general nuisance Is
because it Is not as punctiliously en-
forced as in France.
FRENCH physicians report curious
and almost unexampfed disorder In a
woman only 81 years Of age. She looks
as though she were 20. She Is said to
have "a decrepitude of the cutaneous
system" In other respects she Is doing
quito well. The wrinkling Of the skin
and aging Of her countenance began
soon after she received a great fright,
and would therefore seem to be due to q
sort Of paralysis of nerve centers which
control the nutrition Of the skin OF the
face. No treatment thus far tried has
been of any service to improve her

Is suffering from worriment over it.
MR.. KEENAN,, who braved indescriba-
BILE hardships of all sorts in his travels
all over Russia, says: SsThe vilest stuff I
ever tasted was stew offered me by
Prince Djordjadzi while / was his guest
In the Caucasian Mountains. 1t was
made from the feet of cattle, including
the hoofs. The taste and smell of the
stable pervadcd the dish" Mr.. KEENAN,
says that reindeer moss is very nutri-
tious, but too hard OF digestion for the
human stomach. The Koraks feed It to
the reindeer, and after he has partly d.
gested it they kill the animal and take
1t for their own food. 1t tastes Shiny
and clayey, but it is heartily relished by
those who like 1t.
TESTS Of human endurance, which
have rather more Of sensational than
practical and useful influence, continue
to be made-doubtless because some
body finds 1t possible to make some
thing out Of 1t. In London fasting
match was won by Mr.. Jacques, who
lived without food for fifty days, thus
breaking the record. He lived on air
and eleven gallons OF water. In De-
troit half dozen men tried to go week
without sleep. Only one Of them sue
eeeded. Another went five days, and
half Of them three days. 1t Is reported
that they were not apparently harmed
by the experiment. In New York three
men did over 1 400 miles on bicycles in
six days, the first covering 1,46S miles
with only twelve hours sleep.-Dr.
Foote'S Health Monthly.

very favorably regarded by the Mime
sofa Republicans, and 1t would not be
surprising should very large proper
ton, II not a majority of them, transfer
their allegiance to the distinguished
jurist, now that Blaine is no longer q
possibility.
AS to Senator Allison, a Des,Moines
correspondent sends telegram, saying:
There is no one here who is in position
to speak for Senator Allison, but 1t Is
known that when he was.in Iowa during
the campaign he spoke in terms OF high
praise Of the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison, and expressed himself as
favoring his denomination. His friends
In this city say they think that there Is
scarcely any question that Senator ALI
son will give Harrison cordial support
for the nomination, and that Iowa will
go to Minneapolis ready to vote for him
for denomination.
Wisconsin Republican State Central
Committee, said that IL new man is to
be nominated it may be Secretary Rusk.
Since it became generally understood
that Blaine was to decline, Rusk's name,
he says, has been very prominently men
toned in the East, and now with Blaine's
positive withdrawal many of Blaine's
strongest supporters, he thinks, will
favor Rusk.
Some Of Senator Cullom's friends on
being interviewed expressed themselves
as being confident that the Illinois Sen
ator would receive the solid backing OF
his State. at Minneapolis, and would be
the leading candidate before the conven-
ton. One of the Senator's supporters
offered to bet $500 against $500 that
Senator Cullom would be nominated at
Minneapolis and $3.50 more that ME
would win his bet.
Senator Mcmillan, OF Michigan, said:
General Alger is now a candidate for
the Republican nomination and will go
into the contest with the solid delega-
ton from his own State, with support
from many other States and with a
stronger following than many people
and better chance Of success than most
people think for"
1t is the unanimous opinion among
Republicans at indianapolis that the
letter takes Blaine entirely out OF the
question as a Presidential quantity
and leaves the President with a practic-
ally clear field for the party nomination.

start in as an avowed candidate and will
have his name presented to the Mime
apolis convention. Senator Allison has
not got to this point yet, but in the end
he will probably give the Iowa delegation
permission to name him. Gen. Alger, In

to rally all the disafrected anti Harrison
elements around him, and look for votes
In New York and the East as well as In

that ex-Speaker Reed will take advant-
age of Mr.. Blaine's declination to seek

Why Agricultural Implements Are Not
Taxed.


Taxed.
When the free trade "reformer" tells
the farmers wife that her calico dress
is taxed cents yard she can effective
ly squelch him by producing the bill
from the village merchant and pointing
out the fact that its entire cost was only
Al cents a yard. But when the same
"reformer" buttonholes the farmer
himself and tells him that his plows and
cultivators are taxed 40 per cent. the
demonstration of the dishonesty of his
statement is not so easily effected
though the tax here is as purely imag-
mary as Ill the former case. When the
price of the calico is lower than the al
legged tax we see at once the absurdity
of the tax theory. But this never oc-
ours except where the duty is specific
No matter how low the price falls, an
ad valorem duty of any rate below 100
per cent. must necessarily be less than
the price. So the farmer is debarred
from using his wife's formula on the
free trader. But he has at hand anoth-
er equally effective argument.
He can show that unless the tariff
stands between him and cheaper imple-
ments which he might buy from foreign
countries If il were abolished, then it
will have to admit that. Then he can
appeal to TACT and prove that there is
not on earth country where farmers
buy SO serviceable and cheap farm ma
chinery as that bought by American
farmers. If the tariff were abolished
tomorrow not piece of foreign agri-
cultural machinery could find sale in
this country. In the words of Consul
Dunlap, who describes great exhibit
ton of the cream of foreign implements
held in Breslau, Germany, "no Ameri-
can farmer would take a single one of
the plows on exhibition as a gift: he
would be ashamed to be seen in its COM
pany." He comments further as fol-
lows:
l have not table of prices of American
machinery and tools from which 1 can
make comparisons, but desire to say this,
that the agricultural machinery on exhibit
ton at tins exposition If a fair sample
and L have every reason to believe ii is
would with the exception Of the steam en-
gineS none of which are Self-prOpeling)
meet with nothing but expressions of dis
gust from American farmers. 1t is not
equal in finish to the machinery in COM
mon use in the United States thirty years
ago 1t is heavy, coarse, rough and wholly
unSuited to work lii any but sandy or
gravelly soil. The prices given are, there
fore, with the exceptions of the American
made machines on exhibition, not to be
compared with American high finished,
light and easy-wOrking machines and i'm
plemcnts, but with what might be called
second or third-clasS machines made by
some amateur workmen in a backwoods
country shop thirty or forty years ago.
Is it reasonable that American farm
ers are waiting for the abolition of the
tariff to rush out after these crude inn
plements? If not, then the tax theory
must fail here, as in the case of the
calico dress, and the free trader is again
covered with confusion.-New York
Press.

This is new feature In the evolution of

Estimating five persons in each fami-
ly, census bureau calculations demon
strate that the federal debt of tire Unit
ed States amounts to S78.l5 per family.
On similar basis of calculation the
debt OF Great Britain is 1887 60 per
family; of Austro-H Hungary, 1854. 90 and
of France, $5S1.75. Germany has no
rately her debt per family, but the in
debtedness is estimated at $500. 1t is
one of the notable features of the
financial stability of this nation that the
national debt per family is so low, and
il is the subject of comment that while
the ratio Of national debt to families has
decreased steadily the national wealth
has been growing faster than that OF
any nation on the globe, and our capital
and resources have improved more
rapidly than those Of any other nation.
