How to Raise Your Hat.

They do this thing better in France,
but they also rather overdo it. The
proper thing is to raise the hat above
the head and bow slightly, moving tho
hat forward as the head inclines. Or
one can also take the hat below the
head and bow slightly over it, but the
first is the more graceful salutation.
Merely to uncover the head without
bowling is somewhat military in it's
method, but it does not appear to con-
vey the same degree of respect. To
merely touch the hat is not much better
than simple nod, and to jerk the hat
down to the waist in n limo parallel with
the body is an insolence which deserves
kick whenever young mans bump
tiousness leads him to such monkey
shines, 1t is needless to say that u
proper salutation should always be smil.
ingly mado and that the smile should
not come so quickly as to appear to be
only grin, nor depart so soon as to
seem to have been summoned by an eff
fort.

Hacn variety OF wool produced has a
use Tor which it is better than anv
o'her WOO, grown. The price Of
wool therefore does not depend upon
the relation between the general demand
ana supply, but rather upon the relation
existing between the demand and sun
ply OF each particular variety. The
general expression therefore that "wool
Is up or "down" carries with it no real
significance.
Various attempts have been made to
compare the prices Of certain woods in
this country and in England for the pur-
pose of determining the effect of the
tariff upon prices, but usually without
satisfactory results. for these COMPARE
fsons have included varieties of wool en-
tirely dissimilar. There are two varie-
ties Of wool which approach each other
very closely in quality, use and condi-
ton. In addition to this accurate rec
ords Of their prices have been kept.
These are Ohio medium fleece washed
and washed Port Philip fleece. The
former is a standard variety in the
United States and the latter in Eng
land. For these woods a comparison is
possible. The following table shows
the average yearly prices in gold in Bos-
ton and London, respectively. London
quotations are those of Windeler & Co.,
and the American prices are taken from
Mauger & Avery's wool circular:

From a product of $4O2 $50, in 1860,
this industry has increased until, accord
ing to the census of 1890, the product is
$9,208,011, or an increase of 2.1S7 per
cent.
Though the growth of the wooden in
dustry as a whole. including the shoddy
industry, has been considerable since
1860, it has not been in proportion to
the growth Of the shoddy industry. In
1850 the value of the wooden goods pro-
duced in the United States was $65, $780,
1854. In 1890, according to the last CEN
sus, the value Of wooden goods was $685.
231, 200, showing an increase since 1860
of AIS per cent. The value of the shoddy
product in 1890 shows an increase of "a
per cent over that of 1880, but the WOOL
en- industry as whole shows an increase
of only 26 per cent in 1890 over the prod
uct of 1880.
Nothing will show better the great
growth of the shoddy industry and its
present extent than the figures from the
census Of 1900. In the following table
is shown for each of the large wooden
products the amount of wool used and
the amount of shoddies, extracts, cotton,
hair and other substitutes for wool:

Let the farmer and laborer now sit
down and figure out to his satisfaction,

What the Tariff Costs the Farmer.

AS an example is always better than
all argument, will present to the reader
an actual transaction under the McKin-
ley bill, which has been furnished me
through the kindness of friend in New
York.
He says, under date of Feb. II: 81 re-
ceived a shipment this week from Man.
chester containing number of cases of
dress goods, mostly all wool, and some
wooden and worsted cloths, also some
cotton warp dress goods. Entered value,
$2,631. Packing is accountable for $40
of this, the value of the cloth being
S2,612. Ipaia $2,62l .05 dhty. Of course
the consumers, public at large, will
eventually Pay this"
Let US study this concrete example for
a moment:
We see that cloth and dress goods of
the value of $2,612 cost the importer
$j,233.C5, which sum he must get back
from the consumers Of the goods with
his profits upon the transaction.
The goods imported are among the
necessaries in our country and climate,
and not tho mere luxuries Of those who
are rich or extravagant.
The farmer or the laborer buys these
goods for his wife and children, and be-
!ieves when he puts down on tho store
counter dollar of his earnings that he
is getting II dollars worth of goods,
when in fact lie is paying more than
half of tho money for the tax and the
profits of the tax Of several middlemen
that have been secretly wrapped up in
the goods.
These goods are also largely made in
this country. They would not DO i'm
ported unless they could DO sold here
for cost and tax and a fair profit on
both. Except for the Tux we could buy
them for the cost and fair profit on it.
The tariff tax which the government
mikes with them before it allows them
to pass into tho clothing of the people
thus more than doubles their cost, and
ut the same time increases by like
amount the price ut which similar
homemade goods can be sold to the
people. This last is the purpose for
which it is levied.
The labor cost of producing these
goods in this country is not more than
30 per cent. greater than the labor cost
in Manchester, and but for tariff on

OF our native wool. but increases the

This great growth of the shoddy in
dustry fully bears out the declaration
made by the shoddy manufacturers in
-1sSs, when they protested against the
Mills, bill, which put wool on the free
list. In the circular which they is
sued they said: sour industry would be
ruined Oby free wooD and we and those
dependent upon us would suffer. There
is only one way to avoid this loss to our
selves, and that is by the defeat of the
candidate of tho free trade party, Gro
yer Cleveland We have determined in
the coming election to support the can
didates of the protection party, Harri-
son and Morton. Their election we con-
slider to DO indispensable. to tho mainte-
nance of our business.

"rmous Production of "Chean .,a
Nasty" Goods Since the Woo, r..,.
was Established-An Increase of 2 49,,
Per Cent. in Thirty Years.
Under the high tariffs ON wool and
woolens since 1860 the growth of the sbod-
dy industry has been phenomenal. Shot,
ny Is comprehensive term, and in com.
mon parlance includes all the var;ons
WOOL substitutes used in manufacturing
except cotton, cows hair, etc. There
are Two classes of shoddies; the first is
made from the waste pieces of wooden
goods left over in the manufacture of
ready made clothing, and the second
from old wooden rags collected from the
ash barrels and refuse heaps of our large
cities. But like other industries, tho
shoddy industry has grown to such an
extent that there have been added new
terms to describe the products which
formerly went under the general name
OF "shoddy." Chief among these are
extracts, y which are made from mixed
cotton and WOODEN goods by the applica-
ton OF an acid which eats out the cotton.
leaving the wooden fbers intact though
much impaired. At the same time ex-
tracts are subdivided into two classes
first, those made from waste pieces of
cloth not in usefjust as new shoddies
are produced, And second, those made
from old miY6d rags picked up from all
conceivableP places. Still another term
is used to describe a certain class of
shoddies. This is mungo, which applies
to the thers produced from hard or su-
per4Ae rags by machinery specially
adapted for the purpose.
So great has been the improvement
in machinery used for working up shod-
dies, mungo and extracts that they are
now used in all classes of wooden goods,
and are SO disguised as to be detected
with great difficulty.
The growth of the shoddy industry
cannot BIO better shown than by com
parison of the census figures since 1860.
The following table shows the number
of establishments, the capital invested,
the number Of workmen employed and
the value of the products during each
census year:

Demand and supply regulate the prices
of wool, rs of other products. But in
the wool trade certain factors enter
more prominently than in tho trade in
most other articles. The quality and
availability of woods are powerful fac
tors In determining demand, and there
fore prices. Similarly, changes in fash
ion by stimulating or decreasing demand
affect prices equally with changes in
supply. Thus. during the past year
some woods have greatly fallen in price,
while the price of others has been well
maintained.

SNAP SHOTS.

Than, sgiving Day in New York City
1t used to be that Thanksgiving day in
New York was, like the day all over the
eastern part of the COUNTRY, a day which
conferred around dinner. This dinner
was inevitable, and the families saw each
other then that never saw each other In
group at any other time. The prodigal
returned for it; the poor relation looked
forward to it and praised it as 1t pro
gressed heavy through its different
courses; and the several members of the
family tried to be more polite and genial
and loving toward one another at that
meal than at any other Of the three times
365 other meals of the year. There are
some who like family dinners, and there
are other wicked ones who sympathize
with the young woman who assented TO
having family dinner by saying, eyes,
and let US have any family but our own"
1t is an awful and solemn ceremony in
many homes, and it is made more so, as
rule, by some one of the elder of the
poor relations, who endeavors to enlven
the general gloom by trying to be ''the
life of the dinner" He does this by
growing reminiscent over the younger
members, and telling how pretty they
were as children, and how they used to
make him tell and retel the old story of
the roast pig he stole the night before
Gettysburg, with which introduction he
promptly tells the old story again.
1t may not be so everywhere, but
around New York city this has all
changed. 1t is not that the families
around the great metropolis love each
other less, or that they have less cause or
less desire to be thankful, but great and
powerful and fascinating rival has come
to take the place of the Thanksgiving
day dinner, and it is known not only in
New York, but from Texas, or wherever
else Yale man is carrying transit, to
Canada, or wherever else the Princeton
man is building bridge, as the Thanks
giving day game.
And now everybody goes out to sec
Princeton and Yale decide the football
championship, and instead of boring each
other around dinner table, grow hoarse
and exhausted in shouting for their ia
vorite son or the college of their son.

A Georgia MuIe Mine.

Squire Spudler has just discovered an
extensive bay mule mine on his farm
near here. The squire was fishing down
by the creek near where an old Indian
mine was worked for mules, and he was
attracted by sound resembling the
bray of a mule coming from little cave
in the bank Of the stream. The squire
commenced search and soon discovered
the ears of a mule protruding above the
soft earth near the water. Work was at
once commenced and several fine speci-
mems were unearthed. The squire's SON.
in-law started with one fine specimen to
a mineralogist's to have it assayed, but
it bucked and jumped with him, and,
after sending him off on a voyage of dis
covery toward the planet Saturn, went
on grazing spree in the adjacent COW
lot. It is believed that the mine will
prove very profitable, and fodder and
corn have advanced to fifty dollars per
front foot..-Calhoun (Ga.) Times.

broke in the corner windows, and, pick

Graph, a domestic. Over month ago
she left a house to go to church, but had
never been heard of again and was be-
lieved to be dead. She had laid down
under tree where she and her dead hus-
band had often sat together. She fell
asleep and slept for two days, and when
she awoke she had lost her reason. She
wandered about the woods for thirty
five days, and never tasted any food.
She obtained water from brook. Since
she has been found she has been rational
at times and has told the above remark
able story. She is in very weak state.
