The Loafer.

The most miserable and hopeless
scrap Of humanity is an idle mana
man whose chief aim is to be q loafer,
to waste In listless louDging, in physic-
al iuaction the best yean Of his life.
There are numbers Of such beings here
and there has been no excuse for them
this season, as there has been plenty Of
work for months past. Napoleon has
her full quota of miserable loafers,
whose only occupation is to avoid en-
ployment of any kind, whose lives can
scarcely be called lives, who die and
leave behind them-what?
A vacancy to be mourned? No, for
they are themselves vacancies, not
men. The history of the worlds prog
ress ignores their names, their exist
ence, and being dead, the grave con-
tained more inert, worthless earth
than 1t did before. They have no To-
cal habitation or name In 30 far as re-
CARDS worth or value, and from day to
day, in the hands of busy men, they
pass as uncurrent funds, at so much of
a discount that they cannot even buy
themselves. The only apparent exer-
ton that they exhibit is that which
enables them to be eternally in some
body's business. They never do any
especial harm nor accomplish any
good. They die only when they get
too lazy and 'indolent to use their res
piratory organs. They never get con-
sumption because they haven't energy
enough to cough. They give employ
ment to no body, for they have none
for themselves. From coming in con-
tact with these and such as these, may
fortune preserve all we'll meaning NOR

The Ohio experiment station has
just received the following letter from
Col. R, ]. Reddlng, director Of the

"This station has just received from
one &c. E. Cole Buckner Missouri" a
"parched and ground" sample Of what
he calls" Coles Dome sticCoff Berry,"
accompanied by a printed dodger set
ting forth the merits of this wonderful
"berry" In graphic style, and support
ed by numerous testimonials" He
offered seed for sale vt fabulous prices,
So. so per pound, In large quantities, 25
cents per hundred seeds, in small guam
titles.
~ presume each station will receive,
or has received, q similar sample and
dodger. Fortunately (perhaps) 1 re-
ceived few days earlier, through the
Southern cultivator, a package Of the
coffee, together with specimen plant
in full fruit. The plant is simply a
common variety of Sofa Hispida, or
Japan pea, SO well known to many of
the stations, and the seed of which is
abundant and comparatively cheap.

At about the same time the above
letter was received, the Ohio station
received copy of the same circular
from Cole, together with package of
the roasted and ground "coffee" and a
few of the wonderful berries. The
berries are simply peas and the"cofee'

A Costly Present.

One of the railroad enterprises with
which Col. Brice and Gen. Thomas
associated were ruling spirits was the
construction of the famous Nickel
Plate railroad, says the New York
World. 1t ran across Northern Ohio,
Northern Indiana and Illinois from
Erie, Pa, parallel to the Lake Shore q
Michigan Southern railroad at first,
and finally got right of way for exten-
sion to Buffalo. The road thus becomes
a formidable rival of the Vanderbilt
system, The late William H. Wander
bilt saw the danger of such rival and
entered into negotiation for it's pur-
chase. He made overtures to the direc-
tors ofthe Nickel Plate, out of which
an agreement was nearly perfected,
when Mr.. Vanderbilt appeared to grow
cool about the matter. There were
several meetings of the Nickel Plate
directors, at which Mr.. Vanderbilt's
communications were received and
read, and servere comments were pass
ed upon his dilatory procedure. These
criticisms had proceeded so far as to
become personal attacks upon thegreat
New York magnate, when Gen, Thorn
as took the floor. ''See here, gentle
men," he said, "there Is no use in our
abusing Vanderbilt. We are only a
sort of high-toned buglars trying to
break into his safe and carry away his
accumulated hoard of money. He
knows it. We know it. 1t will do nc
good to complain of his actions when
we contemplate our own" In two
weeks the wisdom of the Generals re.
marks was proved by the signing OF
papers that made the Nickle Plate
pool rich. Numerous wealthy Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois capitalists were
interested in the railroad, and at a
meeting of the directors to turn over

IN. ig.i.sd Edge Of a Coin.

The smooth raised edge around the
face Of modern coins, and inclosing the
device as frame incloses picture. not
only adds great deal to the beauty OF
the piece, but serves double utilitarian
purpose. first to protect the designs from
wear, and second to afford horizontal
surface so that the coins may be piled
up vertically one on top OF another
without danger Of toppling over As
soon as the raised edge is worn from a
coin it loses its clear beauty Of design
and fast degenerates into a mere char
acterless disk Of metal.
Owing to the long rest which metallic
currency had in this country during the
reign Of greenbacks and shinplasters
United States coins are remarkably

HOW. IT WORKS.
Wooden Goods Protected Far Above the
Amount Paid for Wages.

Wooden Goods Protected Far Above the
Amount Paid for Wages.
Uncle Sam, following McKinley's ad-
vice, is endeavoring to have woolen
shirts manufactured in the United
States. We speak of woolen shirts here
for short, and intend to include all kinds
of woolen goods.
The census statistics recently pub
lished show that the value of all woolen
goods manufactured in America last
year amounted to $3.50, ,931, 100. That
was the factory value, or the amount of
money which the factory received for
the goods. Such woolen shirts as were
imported from abroad during the year
paid under the Mckinley law a duty of
about 100 per cent. That duty was sup
posed to be levied so as to compensate
the American manufacturer for the diff
ference between the cost Of labor in
America and Europe. Turning, how
ever, to our census statistics, prepared
under Republican supervision, we fihd
that the total amount of wages paid in
the manufacture of woolen shirts is only
2215 per cent. of the value of the goods
manufactured.
The situation, then, is this: The Amer
ican manufacturer of woolen shirts
pays out 2215 cents for labor in the man
ufacture of garment which he places
upon the market for one dollar, and he
is protected from foreign competition
by tariff five times as large as the total
cost of the labor. He pretends that the
tariff is only as large as the difference
between the cost of labor here and
abroad, but the statistics show that tie
tariff is, as stated, almost five times great
er than the total cost Of his labor. The
following table shows from the census
statistics just what the cost Of manu-
featuring woolen goods was in this
country last year:
Cost of material 6016 per cent?. ..... .S2B, ,QAEfs

Miscellaneous expenses 5n per
cent)....... ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. IS,Of',1uu
Total. $3.50, al, ,.l3
Profits Ql12 per cent.)................ 3S,ol9,o9O
When the cost Of labor amounts to
only one-fifth of the total cost of manu-
facture it is evident that protection Of
100 per cent. is not so greatly needed on
account of high wages in America as
manufacturers pretend. Ii the cost of
labor in the manufacture of woolen
goods amounted to q half or three
fourths of the total cost of manufacture
there might be some basis for the claim
for high protection.-Omaha World
Herald.

and went and brought no tidings OF
them or of the missionaries for whom
they were sent. Then the third posse
was dispatched and one Of the number
at last succeeded in reaching St. Louis,
and delivered his message, in response
to which Father De Smet was returned
with the messenger, reaching the Coeur
,D'Alene in 1885.
One of the earliest and most interest
ing missions in the present state of
Washington is the old st. Paul mission
at Kettle Falls. The place was first
visited by Father De Smet in 1s42; but
the mission was not established until
about two years later, when the quaint
old log church shown in our sketch was
erected.
This was the nucleus of a little set
Element consisting at first Of a Hudson
Bay Fur Company trading post and a
small garrison. The mission soon added
schoolhouse, grist mill and a saw
mill, and still later two churches. To
give more than a hint of the trials OF
the persistent priests, who endured the
keenest privations to plant and main
tain their little post, and then prac-
ticed infinite patience in piercing the
stolid darkness of the Colville Indians
mind with the first rays of intelligence
and decency, would be tedious. But
they have gradually distilled into their
charges few fundamental notions of
civilization, which have in time served
to lessen the sum total of their igno-
rance, laziness, gambling and licentious-
ness; qualities in which they seem to
excel the other tribes of the northwest.
The theory that natural scenery inn
presses any of its likeness upon the
characters of human inhabitants, would
seem to be thoroughly refuted by a
glance at the wonderful beauty and
grandeur of the natural scenery in
which generations of the Indians of the
Colville country have been reared and
a casual knowledge OF the persistent de-
pravity of these aborgines.
Although, in its long, winding course,
the Columbia river shows many views
more magnificent than at Kettle Falls,
there the scene is one of striking
beauty; the crescent group of falls
pouring their clear waters in a common
caldron, the little village, with its old
mission buildings and new manufac-
tories, clustered about, and the great
dark fir forests in the back ground.
1t is about '"rhe Old Mission" as it is
commonly called, that perhaps the
greatest number of interesting legends
and associations cluster. Not only is
the mission building itself more pre-
tentious and permanent than other
mission structures, but its location is
slightly and commanding. 1t occupies
considerable foot hill Of side spur of
the Bitter Root range, and overlooks a
pleasing stretch of prairie. Tie Church
of the Sacred Heart, the most imposing
of the buildings, is mixture of classic
antiquity and pioneer rawness. That
it should partake at all of the latter
quality was no fault of the designer,
Father Revalli, who was fresh from
the Imperial city, where he was
