Superstition is Harj TO Kill.

1t is said that on certain moors OF
England jealous women still mold
waxen nolls, and, running pins through
them, melt them slowly, SO that their
human models may waste away. This
seems incredible, but Fanny D. Bergen,
in American Folk Lore, gives an instance
of a belief as insane, and on her own
personal authority. There is a fungus

Waste Products Made Useful.

Many kinds Of waste materials of cer--
tain manufactures are employed in now

are familiar instance of this change.
Woolen rags are more slowly converted
into final products than those of cotton
and linen, because they are valuable for

in close cerhpetition. The greasy, frow.

against rheumatism. Uniforms of a
better description, whether military or
liveries, chiefly go to Africa for tho
wear of kings and chiefs. It is only
after these Transformations that the rags
are torn down into shoddy and mungo
for inferior cloths. When old wooden
rags have reached their fourth stage of
degradation, so that they are unfit for the
shoddy maker, thoy are still economi-

other degraded waste, such as shavings

slaughter houses, and are melted in an
iron pot with wood ashes. This pro

the beautiful dye Prussian blue is made.

THE sTANDARD OIL TRUST.

Some months ago, before the nomination
of Mr.. Cleveland. the New York Herald
announced the practical dissolution OF tie
Standard Oh trust. 1t attributed the disso-
luton to the power Of the courts. Its con-
clusions were based upon the speech OF Mr..
Dodd, the trusts legal adviser. from which
the folio wing Is an extract:
No, we nave no intention OF reorganizIng the
trust; our purpose is TO dissolve not reorganize
This decision has been brought about IN part by
the decision against the trust In Ohio, but more
largely by The opposition and legislation against
trusts OF this sort in different States of The Union
and which has become burdensome. The de

power OF the state over one Of the greatest evils
that nave menaeed the people in recent year.
1 ne public IS not informed as TO the pre-
else form under which the Standard OH
Association is now doing business. The
point is that this powerful trust was unable
to resist the will of the people Their
counsel admitted that the legislation against
trusts had become burdensome. 1t would
seem. therefore, that the people are NOT
powerleSs against great corporations II they
are true TO themselves. 1t is only when
the people permit corporations to select
their Legislators and Judges that the people
are p0werless.
1t should be remembered also that the
great trust whose surrender a free-trade
Journal so Joyfuily proclaims operated in
an article that received no benefit from
protective tariff. This fact is worthy of
note at the present time when free-trade
journals all over the country are represent.
Ing that trusts are the creatures of a pro-
teetive tariff. Because some articles that
are protected have become the subject of
trusts, it Is assumed that there would he 20
trusts II there were no duties. In point of
Tact trusts depend for success upon condi-
tI0ns that are neither created nor materially
