A Practical Daugh ter.

1t is told of Miss Rusl, daughter of
the secretary of agriculture that she is
of an exceedingly practical turn, and
that few ladies, either young or old,
excel her in the art Of housekeeping.
She takes full charge of her father's
house, of the servants and the table.
She also plans the menus and superin-
tends the marketing Miss Rusk is so,
dainty and nice about housekeeping
that with her it becomes an art. She
is very fond of reading and does not
permit her household work to rob,
her of the pleasure she derives from her
favorite authors; of these she has de-
cided preference for Hawthorne and
Howells. Victor Hugo is also favorite
and George Elliot and Thackeray.
When il comes to society Miss Rusk is
again at her mothers side. Because
the daughter takes up so many cares it
must not be thought for an instant that
Mrs. Rusk does not know her house.
While she never appears to see any
thing, nothing escapes her eye, especial.
ly if it is fault, and, while escaping
much of the drudgery in her care, she
eontrives to keep her eyes everywhere.

Mr.. Bernal Bayneshawe, of the Leeds
Forge Company, one of England's larg-
est manufacturing concerns, after a
protracted visit to this country, has no
doubts about the effect of protection on
wages. He is quoted by the Boston
Journal as follows:
An English manufacturer is bound to kick
long and hard when he is excluded from so i'm.
portant q market as the United States, but he
is longheaded enough to know, after surveying
industrial and manufacturing conditions in this
country that Protection is the Uery sdlpatiOn Of
the United States Englishmen OF common sense
would be ardent Protectionists If they lived in
this country, and a good many OF them who
have visited the United States in recent years
are in favor of giving Protection trial at home,
Notwithstanding the fact thata Would materially
incrs0s. Ms rags of artisans. To counterbal
ance the raising in wages they look to a thou
sand other advantages enjoyed by country
wherein Protection prevails,
This practical English manufacturer
does not doubt that protection in En-
gland would raise wages of English
workingmen, and that free-trade here
would cause the ruin of American in
dustry American Tariff ''reformers"
alone deny these simple propositions

WITH the recurrence of la grippe
comes the old prescription of whisky.
DR.. George f. Shrady, Gen. Grants
physician, on being asked if whisky
was a good preventive of the disease
answered: Whisky is never good to
ward off anything. Good food is the
best means with which to ward off dis
ease. To dose with whisky is like
adding shavings to the fire. There is
no physical, mental or moral excuse
for mans drinking whisky as pre-
ventive of disease. Union Signal
AN instance cited by Sho Nemoto
proves the readiness of the Japanese
mind to accept truth and put it in
practice. Acopy of a temperance mag
azine had been sent to ex-senator Ia
nabe, who was fond of wine. One day
the senator had company, and as
usual wished to have wine on the table,
but his bright young daughter Miss
Tatsu, objected, telling her dear ia
Their with loving spirit of the terrible
effect of wine upon men. The senator
was melted by the earnest pleading
of his daughter" and the winewas omit
ted.
1T is dreadful hour 10 the history of
any Christian father when he begins
the manufacture of any form of ardent
spirits, wine or malt liquors. A large
grape crop in single year turned a
lifelong total abstinence man into a
manufacturer of wine and alienated
his whole family from the church of
Christ. We appeal to every professor
of faith in Christ to every reader who
wishes to preserve his moral standing
and train his children TO be good citi
zens and true Christians, to resist every
temptation to engage in the manufac-
ture of cider-hrandy. peach brandy,
fermented wine, or any ,orm of intox-
icating liquor. Western Christian Ad

PAYING THE TARIFF,

wish Us to Adopt Free Trade.
Voters who may be inclined to listen
with credence to the oft-told tale that
the tariff is tax on consumers-or, as
the American Golden puts it. the
amount of the duty measures the tax
paid by those who purchase for use inn
ported articles"-can gain some useful
information by watching the maneu-
vers of foreign producers of these arti-
Giles who have been forced into practi-
cal application of this theory by the
Mckinley tariff.
Just across our northern boundary
line are hundreds of farmers who have
always depended upon market in 1.-THE
states" for what they had to sell Why
DO these men so seriously object to the
increase of duty on wheat, barley, POI
tatoes, ETC.? A glance at the market
quotations of the two cities OF Toronto
and Chicago will tell the tale much
more reliably than all the pro phecies
and platitudes of politicians, however
pretentious their claims of ability to
teach voters. The Canadian farmer can
get no more per bushel for his wheat
and barley this side the line than the
American farmer gets for similar
grains he has to sell. The one pays a5
cents per bushel on wheat and 80 cents
on barley, as we'll as the freight, before
he can get iuto the Chicago market,
while the other gets there by paying
the freight alone. The Canadian sees
this, and objects to the tariff because it
comes out of his pocket and in no wise
measures the tax paid by those who
purchase" the products of his farm
The same knowledge has been forced
home upon the hordes of foreign manu-
facturers, who see in this country the
best market in the world for their
wares. Hence the commotion through
out the entire list in every industrial
center OF Europe. Nobody believes
that the cutlery makers of Sheffield,
the cotton weavers of Manchester, the
wooden manufacturers of Leeds, would
be holding meetings and passing resolu-
tions denouncing the protective tariff
of the United States if their goods could
be sold for the same price as under
free-trade. They go to all such t-Ou-
BILE and expense, besides that OF main-
tanning the Golden Club propaganda,
because they hope to inaugurate free
trade and thereby make larger profits
than are found possible after paying
the existing tariff. The man who asks
voters to see these facts in any differ
ent light places a low estimate upon
their intelligence and is the reverse of
complimentary toward his free trade

Atlantic

THE SUCCESSFUL SCULPTOR.
Miss Alice NJ. Rideout and Her Work for
the Worlds Fair.

The successful competitor for the
sculpture on the woman's building at
the Columbus worlds fair is Miss Alice
NJ. Rideout, of San Francisco. One
group of figures is required to occupy
the space on the pediment over the
main entrance to the building. This
pediment is As feet long at the base
line and seven feet high in the center.
Besides this there is to be group of
statuary on each side of the pediment
standing free above the attic cornice
resting on bases five feet long, three
feet deep and so feet from the ground.
In these two groups Miss Rideout rep
resents woman's virtues and woman as
the spirit of civilization. In the large
group of the pediment she depicts wom-
ans place in history. This group is
spoken of as being a remarkably effec-
tive piece of work. The central figure
represents woman as prominent in sci
entific and religious work. In her
right hand she offers her myrtle wreath
as the reward for virtuous en-
deavor, in her left she holds the
scale demanding equal rights and
the Bible as guide to principle
and conduct On her head rests a
wreath symbolizing the celestial roses
which women weave in Schiller's ia,
nous poem. The first figure to the lef,
represents woman as bencfactor
Grief establishes bond of sympathy
between her and ali mankind, and the

the emblem of charity. She is protec

insusceptible of either blowing or

taking the course in agriculture, not
exactly with the purpose of starting
cattle ranches of their own, though the
Cornell girl is equal to 1t in skill and
daring if she took the fancy. But the
method in their madness is this: This
course, despite its somewhat Ominous
name. includes modern languages and
sciences, and in order to make it popu-

bright girls accordingly have registered

faculties and senses of healthy child,
so far as was known, until upon recov-
cry of serious illness, at the age Of
eighteen months, it was found that she
had lost both hearing and sight In
1887 she was placed under the instruc-

developed astonishing genius. In 1888
little Helen paid visit to the Horace
