Republican France, no less than
monarchical Franco, has developed
many great men. Their popularity
may suffer temporary eclipse, but the
verdict of history is just, in the main.
The Boulangcr type of greatness fas-
cinates for the moment the temper of
the hero loving people, but they
eventually turn from the false to the
true and recognize the worth of such
men as Greyy, Simon, Ribot and De
Freycinet, whose steady and unswerv-
ing devotion to public interest is rccog-
nzed amid all the false luminaries of
the political armament.

A Lively Gator.

Three boys went out hunting near
Millen, Ga, and, among other trophies
of the chase, killed an alligator, seven
feet long. Putting the body in wagon,
they were bringing him to town, when
one OF the boys, who was sitting near
the middle of the wagon, began to tri-
'mph over the fallen enemy by kicking
him in the side. He kicked perhaps
four times, and then something hap
pcned, SO quickly, that the boys could
not explain it. There was rush, a
snap and yell, and the kicker went
out of the wagon headforcmost, leaving,
as souvenir, n part of his trousers in
the gators teeth. The others woke up
to the importance of prompt action; but
one boy, who took little too much
time in getting ready for dive into a
sand bank, struck the ground minus a
shoe-heel, which the saurian swallowed.
Then the boys rallied from their STAN
pedc, and, advancing to the wagon, put
an end to their lively foe, this time
making no mistake about the Job.

The castle to which all the branches
of tho much-dividcd Hohenzollern stock
look as to the ancestral home lies few
miles from Sigmaringcn, the road wind
ing along tumbling brook, whose
mouth is near the foot of the ruins of
Dietfurt castle, where the water on one
side flows to the Danube and on the
other into the Rhine.
In the broad valley shortly beyond
this pond, writes Poultncy Bigclow in
Harper's Magazine, rises n solitary
peak crowned with the battlcmcnts of
Burg Hohcnzollern. For miles on every
side it is the most striking feature of
the country, and rising MS it does

commanding an unobstructed view of

1t has been twice in ruins, and twice
built up again by the united efforts of
all the family. Tho present castle was
commenced in 1850, with q view not
merely of preserving the cradle of the
Prussian kings, but equally to repre-

Broad surfaces of masonry are enliv-

Extending from the main building
toward the cast is wing nearly $50 feet

In the center of the wing is a richly

Constructed entirely after the style of

presumed, be good example of Span

THE USE OF TIME.
Eow 1t Is Restricted by Enactmcnts OF
Legislatures.

Row 1t Is Restricted by Enactments OF
Legislatures.
Among these five factors, land, labor,
capital, mental energy and time, there
is but one in which all men must share
alike. All others are variable. One
only is equal and constant, and that is
time.
The hours of the day number twenty
four. Whether a man be rich or poor,
whether well endowed with mental
energy or not, the one opportunity, the
one clement of property, which all must
sls.re alike, is time. This is common
factor, and yet it is also separate fac
tor, an element of individual property,
with which every man may claim to
deal according to his own will so far as
he may not impair the rights of others
to deal with their share OF time at their
own will.
1t follows that any legal restrictions
upon the free use of time impair per-
sonal liberty more than almost any 9TH
CT interference with the freedom of
racn that can be conceived. Such re-
strictions create inequality in that
which in it's nature must be shared by
all alike.
Yet, step by step and session by SEES
sion, the legislatures of almost every
state are enacting statutes restricting
the use of time, which, when enforced,
create monopolics, establish privileged
classes and inflict disabilities. Under
pretense of police ordinances or under
the pretext of maintaining the public
welfare these acts deprive great bodies
of citizens of their right of free contact
and of the free disposal of their own time
according to their own will, even in
lawful and in innocuous pursuits in the
conduct of which no harm can arise TO
any other person, although the man
himself who chooses to do so may over
work himself.-Edward Atkinson and
Z. Il. Cabot, in Popular Science
Monthly.

AT meeting of the board of trade

the above road inviting, them to appear
with a committee from the board of
trade at the meeting of the town coun-
Gil next Thursday night to ascertain
what steps the council would take to-
ward bonding the town of Salem for

SHORT TARIFF SERMONS.
Average Rate Per Cent.

Free trade dishonesty and deceit Is
nowhere more conspicuous than in the
statements regarding the average ad.
valorem rate of duty.
The subject is at best chimerical
one.
1t is like chasing rainbows to attempt
to calculate or anticipate future aver
age. sis* "
1t cannot be more than guessed at,
for the average rate does not depend on
the rate of duty, but on the value and
amount of importations. Thus the
average ad valorem rate may change
from year to year, while there has been
no change in the tariff whatever.
The only way, then. is. to calculate
on actual values of importations and
duty collected.
This will not be a true average, but
perhaps the nearest that can be COM
puted.
Every free-trade paper in the country
is still maintaining that the average
rate under the Mckinley tariff is 60 per
cent. Now, what are the actual facts?
The latest figures at hand are those

1t will be seen, then, that during the
twelve months ending September 80, 1891
the average rate of duty on dutiable i'm
ports was AZ per cent, while on total
imports. the honest way of reckoning,
it was only % per cent
The free trader is not only dishonest
in his amount, but he uses dishonest
method in getting at it. He only COM
putes the rate on dutiable imports. By
this mode of reckoning Great Britain's
average rate is nearly 100 per cent.
Suppose our $500, 900, 900 worth of i'm
ports all came in duty free with the ex-
ception of 100000 worth, upon which
we collected $500 duty. Would our
average rate of duty be so per cent?
The fact is, as nearly as we can CAL
culate it. that our present average rate
is only % per cent-less than at any
time since 1861.
