Methods ID Elocution.

There used to be few years ago such furor about elocution that when people met on the street instead of ask ing each other "How do you do?" the usual senseless form of address, they inquired: "How do you elocute?" Men and women paid fabulous prices to be able to read one or two selections with facial contortions that were supposed to Illustrate the text, and the pleasing ex- hibition of a reader trying to make his features express the surface of a land scape garden was offered to the pub lie. Then came a new interpretation called the art of expression, which was sensible and artistic. Still there was one fatal defect. The pupil could read her selection for which face and voice were both trained, but she could not pick up a book at random and read any page aloud with the modulation of voice and soul of expression demanded by the subject. She could do nothing without her lines. Now this bids fair to be remedied, writes an expert in the De troit Free Press, by the new education which begins with the child and teaches it to "elocute" gracefully, with out the tricks of elocution; to begin the career of instruction with the art o1 expression instead of bringing it in as a postgraduate accomplishment. Among the many complicated studies of the public schools, surely the art of good reading should be so well taught that there would be no need of supple. mentary course.

GOVERNOR RUSSELL of Massachusetts has propounded dilemma to pro- tectionists of the Mckinley type which it is safe to say they will let severely alone. If, when duty is laid by the United States upon an imported article, that duty is paid by the foreigner, it follows that a ''draw back" of 99 per cent of the duty when the artirle is ex- ported is gratuity to the American ex- porter. To take the case of tin plate: It is now claimed by the protectionists that the Welsh manufacturers are sell ing it in this country at about the same price as before the Mckinley tariff was adopted, and that therefore the duty is paid by them. But the Standard Oil company, it is said, has received from our government S1,500,0OO as a draw back upon the tin cans in which their product is exported. If the foreigner paid the duty on the tin plate, the Standard Oil company did not pay it. It is, therefore, falsehood that the duty is paid by the foreigner, or else the republican party is paying an enor nous subsidy to a monopoly.

The Ice Cart and the Candidate.

! Candidate Whitelaw Reid says: "The ice cart at the White House door will disappear in like manner from their campaign literature when they discover that it quite suits nation of 65,000, GOO of intelligent and self respecting free. men to have president who does not gush, does not slop, does not play the ,demagogue, does not pretend to be the bosom friend of every man he meets"
 Which gives occasion to remark that the ice cart did not originate in Dnc1o- cratic literature, but is happy witti- ,,cism of big Tom Reeds.
 But is not the candidates description of Harrison 8 cruel whack at Blaine?

SIMON WING, of Boston, honored by the socialist labor party as presi- dential candidate, is a manufacturer of photographic goods and general book and job printer. He is sixty-six years old, and, as his birthday comes on August 20, the nomination for president was a birthday gift. When he was twenty one years old he started in business for himself taking daguerreotypes, and he made a success of it from the first. He has been all his life in the photographic business, mostly engaged in establish ing tintype galleries throughout the west. He has done more, perhaps, than any other man to make ferrotype pho tography popular. He was the first to introduce tintypes, as they are gener- ally called, and he was the first to intro duce the postage stamp size of photo graphs. He went to Boston in 1860.

ACCORDING to Prof. John B. Smith, of the New Jersey state experimental sta tion, katydids have done much harm to the cranberry crop this season. De scribing one journey through the cran- berry region of the state, he says that in moro than one bog caterpillars and katydids had been caught and exam ined in proximity to cranberry bushes. In every instance he found that the caterpillars had only eaten grass. But in the katydids were found cranberry seeds, showing at once where the blame lay. It does not eat the berry. but the seed The katydid's eggs are laid on the edge of the leaves, and the insect only attains wings about the end of it's existence.

MIR TELERAULT, member of the pro- vinCial parliament of Canada, one of the members of the commission appointed before the close of the last session at Quebec to inquire into the causes of the emigration of farmers to the United States, has made known the conclusions at which he has arrived. Ranged under seven heads they are as follows: Poverty of French Canadians, large families, difficulty of establishing homes, defective cultivation of land, taste for luxury, seizure of household effects and wages for debt and the plague of peddlers.

THE TARIFF AND WAGES.

Mir Peck and other special pleaders for aids to industrial prosperity and to higher wages for labor, says the Boston Republic, purposely overlook the fact that the rate of wages differ in the several states of the union as widely almost as do other rates in America and Europe. If a national law framed for protection or revenue is competent to affect wages and prices in Ohio, why not in Massachusetts and Virginia? Our legislation should apply equally to the conditions prevailing in industrial pur- suits in all parts of the country. There is no tariff between the states.
 But the careful student of statistics finds difference in Swages in the same line of effort in different states, and often within the borders of a single state. In MT Porter's census tables for 1890 we find, for instance, thatj con- mon laborers working in blast furnaces in Pittsburg, Pa, get $1.40 per day, while at Bethelem, in the same state, a ASN AAAAASC GAAO ChSoSCN precisely the same work only get $1.16 per day. Coal miners receive $1 20 per day in Tennessee, $147 in West Vir- ginia, $1.56 in Kentucky, $153 in Illinois and $1.77 in Ohio. Why are these discrepancies noticeable in the localities named when the applications of the Mckinley act are supposed to be uniform?
 Mir Peck tells us that wages and pro- duction have been increased in New York by the tariff, but the workingmen in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Ten nessee, Illinois and Kentucky have not felt any advantage. Does the great statistician pretend to believe that the effect of the law is only applicable in New York? The truth of the matter is that tariff taxation has no influence on wages except to reduce them, and that Mir Peck has made an exhibition of assininity unequalled in modern history.

The WEARING oE GEMS.

superstitions About Unlucky stones No
Longer Exist-woman's Favorite.
Civilization has done little TO eeadi-
cate the instinct which prompted prin-
tive vanity TO deck itself in shining
beads and bits of precious metals The
fair barbarian of later days insists that
the gems must be rare in kind and the
metals beautifully wrought for her
adorning, Fashion has appropriated
the jewel cnslSet and popularized the
precious stones that superstition has
tabbood. A few years ago the opal
with its splendor of imprisoned fire was
considered so unluclSy that few women
were brave enough to wear it, and the
turquoise, which was supposed to pale
and deepen according to the health of
its wearer, was uncanny and avoided;
now these two stones set in blazing
circlet of diamonds are among the most
popular in my lady's collection. Rubies
rare, sapphires, and emeralds court fa-
vor with the concentrated splendor of
the diamond which once outshone them
all.
But the glimmer of pearls has ever
been the inspiration of poetry and ro-
nance, and the soft effulgence of this
pure stone has been beloved by great
ladies through all ages of the world.
The Empress Eugene had a passion for
pearls, and was the possessor of a neck
lace whose largest stones were the size
of pigeons eggs. The empress of Aus
tria has a famous collection of black
pearls, and the queen of Italy counts
every birthday in a string of white
pearls numbering the years of her life.
When she bravely wears them all, thus
confessing her years, the strings cover
her neck and fall far below her waist,
Still, some women have a little preju-
dice against these jewels so closely
allied to tears.
Every month has its appropriate
birth stone, and to young girls the ia
vorite birthday gift is the appropriate
stone to their birth month, set in dia-
monds, corresponding in number to the
birthdays they have known.
The amethyst, the stone sacred to the
bishops ring, is now under eclipse, but
will doubtless be restored to favor, and
the topaz with it. Moonstones ure most
lucky now, and cat's-eyes are bearers of
good fortune to their possessors If pre-
sented by friend.-N. Y. Sun.

PARASITES IN FISHES.
A Fruitful Source of Dangerous InfoS


A Fruitful Source of Dangerous Infoc-
tion.
The secretary of the Michigan state
board of health received from a COR
respondent of the board, two fishes
(bass) containing parasites of some
sort Accompanying the fishes was a
request for an opinion as to whether or
not they were dangerous to public
health in consequence of parasitic in
fection. Prof Cook, of the Michigan
agricultural college, made an eXamina-
tion of the parasites and reported us
follows:
This is the cySticercus stage, or en-
cysted form of the tapeworm, probably
the bothriocephalus iatuS, but we could
not tell from this stage. That is the
broad tapeworm in man and it works
in fish. Such fish should be well
cooked" Cooked tapeworm is a harm
less diet.)
The popular idea that fish are safe
from infection is thus shown to be
false. AS matter of fact, fish are
more exposed to infection than almost
any other class of animals, especially
those living in rivers receiving the
sewerage of towns or cities The water
of such streams invariably contain
great numbers of eggs and living en-
bryos of various parasites which infest
the alimentary canal of human beings.
BY eating these eggs and embryos, fish
as well rs other animals may become
contaminated. A New York naturalist
some time ago made u careful study of
the fish of New York harbor; he found
more than fourteen varieties of para
sites affecting fish in that locality alone

TRIED A DEAD GIANT.

Fined Him for Carrying n Revolver and
Took the Revolver for Costs.
The story of a Nevada justice of the
peace who impanneled jury, tried a
man for murder, and. on return of a
verdict of guilty, sentenced him to be
hanged, has been eclipsed.
James Wells, a contractor who is en-
gagged in an irrigation scheme near FL
lensburgh, arrived in the city the other
evening, and said the little city is all
excitement over series of events that
occurred there, one of which was the
trial of dead man on n charge of car
rying a concealed weapon. Thus the
story runs:
A circus company carrying on as a side
show attraction giant African over
seven feet high and of proportionate
weight had been showing in the town
for several days. The big African was
one of the biggest cards in the show
next to the elephants, but, like those
animals, it appears he was also clumsy,
and one evening. in attempting to board
the circus train. which was in motion,
he fell between two of the cars and one
of his legs was crushed. Amputation
"dS uSculc(l neCcSSdTy, anu JllS
died under the operation.
The coroner of the county was absent
and the duty of holding an inquest de-
volved upon justice of the peace. A
jury was regularly impanelled and a
verdict rendered in accordance with the
facts. Then the body was boxed up and
slowed away in the Justices office to
await burial the following morning.
During the night it occurred to the au-
thorities that the body of the dead man
had not been searched for personal eff
fects This oversight was remedied and
a search brought to light revolver,
ten dollars and a gold watch and chain.
What to do with the property was
the next question, and the justice was
appealed to. He looked up the law, but
had not found a way out of the dilem-
ma when some one suggested that d
charge of carrying concealed weapons
be entered against the dead giant This
suggestion was followed, so Mr.. Wells
says, and the dead man was adjudged
guilty, five of ten dollars and costs
being imposed. The coin on the body
satisfied the fine, and the constable ac-
eepted the revolver for his costs, while
the justice donped the watch and chain.
