Hated to Break the set.

Boston Transcript: The queer things that
some people do are only surpassed by the
queerer reasons they give for doing them
The GLOWING little story is put forth as an
illustration just this fact. In certain
village not twenty miles from Boston it ap-
pears there is a side street locally know as
Maiden Lane. This name is more realistic
than is obvious at first. coming, as it does
from the fact that six erstwhile maiden,
have their homes there-three on each de
OF the road. Not SO very many yea ago.
however, when the distinction belonged to
them by right rather than by courtesy the
one eligible young man o the town found
it place with good deal OF attraction
The only trouble o. it was, as The gossips
concurred. the attraction didn't appear spe-
cific enough. Finally, alter a couple of
winters spent impartiaIly before the halt
dozen tiresides, it became plain that Eunice
hair-was receiving enough attention and
Baldwin apples to warrantsuspicion. Pub.
lie excitement ran high and ebbed and ran
high again as months went by. Nobody
knew why the sutton waited unless, as a
brother deacon said, because he was nat
u ly slow" At last right in the face of a
new conjecture the announcement came
that he was going to marry a young wonl-
an i'll a neighboring town. This was q
blow-a blow so severe that when the dea-
oon's vile heard Of it she put on her china
groom elect to inquire into the subject.
Now look he Z, Joshua, " she rel,roached
him gently. Il should 'er thought yer
might 'er suited yerseli out 'er six i'll Maid

"Wa'al. did think ont. did think on

the aches, pains, and arrangements
peculiar to her sex, she can't ex-

But there's only herself to blame.
With DR.. Piercc's Favorite Pre-

And it's change that can be seen
as well as felt. The system is in

Story of q Skull.

A skeleton III the office of the Vienna
Progress, doctors stratasem, and fright
ened editor. Dr. w. S. Howell. brother of
the editor OF the Progress, had this skeleton
in box. One day he pulled out the ugly
CHASTITY. grinning skull and began to hand
it around. Finally he decided that he
wanted that skull opened SO that he could
stu y the inside structure. There being
several seams in the skull he decided to fill
the skull with peas and soak them with
water, thinking that they would force the
seams apart. He asked the editor to help
him. AID the latter poured peas and water
into the hollow bone and corked up the eve
and n Sc holes to keep them from running
out.
Some time after, the editor was startled
to see that the peas had sprouted in the
skull, and the vines were of most wonder
full growth. Out of the hole where the
backbone is Joined to the neck an army of
little vines had grown. and by some I'M
known instructive power they had twined
in and through all the bones of that body.
The young tendrills had wrapped around
the stovepipe and table legs, and the whole
skelet had been reared upright in the
middle OF the room. From the nostrils and
eyes vines were streaming that had clus.
tered around and upon the presses, stand
and tables, and from each joint hung pod
in the likeness of small skull, the exact
counterpart of the large one. 1t is rumored
that when the editor beheld these things he
left the office by the window route and the
skeleton is still in full editorial control.

Wild Hogs in Queensland.

Wild hogs have been increasing at a
prodigious rate in Western Queens
land. A hog-hunting party was or
ganized at Currawildi, and their bag,
after three days operations, reached
the respectable total of 568. Shot
guns, improvised lances, and variety
OF other weapons were pressed into
service, the tallies being-frst day,
21O; second day, 189; and third day,
16O. The hunt appears to have been
organized to thin the hogs down, in
order to check their depredations. A
partiality sor young lamb on the part
of the "grunters" is alleged to have
been in the forefront of their numer-
Gus offences.

In South Carolina they have very
positive views in regard to the merits
of Mr.. Cleveland on the pension ques-
ton. One Democratic paper there
pronounces the pension fraud the
greatest of the age" Cleveland
..straak tho haaea--s-s..-tsso f~oo nod
should be given chance to hit'em
again"
The Democrats undertake to say
that the increase of their appropria-
tions this last session over the cores
ponding session of the last Republi-
can congress, is caused by the previ-
Gus pension legislation of the Republi-
can party. But they did not attempt to
repeal It and In their platform they
declare for the pensioning of the un-
ion soldiers. By electing Cleveland
however. they hope to conciliate all
Democrats who are opposed to pen
sions in the assurance that Cleveland
has already shown his opposition to
pensions and may be trusted to slap
the 'beggars in the face again"
The house, however, increased the
appropriations hundreds of millions
by the admission of southern wal
claims this last session including The
Infamous Sibley tent claim, whereof,
a colonel in the rebel army is actuall,
to be reimbursed for the use of hi
tents while he was doing his best ;,
destroy the government from whom
this money is now demanded.

no man can honestly defend it. The
South has been taxed to death to pay
the Grand Army of rascals these bot

struck the beggars in the face he did u
good business job. We hope to God
that he may have a chance to hit EN-

Here are three paragraphs of signifi-
canoe and interest from letter of Col
John A. Cockerill, editor of the New
York Advertiser. ex-editor of the New
York World and a Tammany Demo
crat:
1.-The Homestead labor troubles
seem to be adjusting themselves. The
struggle was really one to emancipate
the Carnegie Works from the interior
ence and practical control of the
Amalgamated Association. It was a
fsirt OF -tne- cupuansts against trade
unionism, and not one of wages. This
eliminates tariff politics from the equa-
ton. The striking mill hands would
return to work to-day on the new
scale, but the company will not recog-
nize the Amalgamated Association.
1.-THE spectacle presented by the dill
atory, reckless, registering, bibulous
Democratic House of Representative
strengthens the Republican plea
Elected on a pledge of reform and
economy, the House has shown a
greater degree of profiigacy than any
of It's recent predecessors. 1t has tri.
fled with great questions. 1t has not
developed single, broadminded, ca
pable. influential man. 1t Is an awful
example of what the Democratic party
can do when turned loose.
'As view the situation, the Repub-
loan party Is In far better condition In
this State to-day than its opponent.
There is more confidence and better
organizations. All this regardless oil
what Mr.. Platt, still implicated, may
do. There is a steadily rising senti.
ment that the business interests of the
countryside thinking, intelligent, pa
triotic, forceful elements-will make
short work of Cleveland and his party
of retrogression, in capacity, free trade
and calamity next November"

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, free trader
and Cleveland Democrat, said In the
May Forum:
There has never been a period IN the
history of this or any other country
when the general rate of wages was az
high as it is now or the prices of goods
relatively to the wages as low as they
are to-day, nor period when the
workman, In the strictest sense of the
word, has so fully secured to his own
use and enjoyment such steadily and
progressively increasing proportion OF
a constantly increasing product.
The same gentleman In the Boston
Herald says:
Since 1880 there has been a marked
increase In the rate of wages or earn
ings of all occupied OF every kind
above the grade of common laborers.
So far as the writer has been able to
obtain the data, this advance in rates
of wages may be estimated at from III
to 20 per cent, as compared with the
rates of 1880, the proportionate ad-
vance in each case being in ratio to
the relative skill required in the
work. The wages of the common la
borer have not advanced very much,
but he has been rendered able to buy
more for his wages on account of the
reduction In prices. The skilled la
borer has secured the highest rate of
.ssass-- a~e-- known In -this or -anv nthsr
country, and can also buy more for
each dollar. The advocate of free
trade who denies this advance makes
a mistake.

The Press to-day presents some hard
nuts for free traders to crack In regard
to the tin plate industry. Special
Agent Aver of the Treasury Depart
ment yesterday made public another
report. In it he brings down the tin
plate industry to June 30th, 1892, and
a wonderful showing it is. During the
first quarter of the year only 5 persons
were engaged ia the business, in the
second quarter IL firms were engaged.
in the third quarter 20 were engaged,
and at the close of the fourth quarter
26 concerns were making tin plate
with probability OF at least 8 new
names to be added to the list by the
close of the present quarter.
In the same way the product is rap
idly increasing, and the amount for
the year will not be far short of 30
GOO, 900 pounds. Less than 1,O00.0 900
pounds of tin and terne plates were
made in the first quarter of the last
fiscal year, and more than 5000, 600
pounds in the last quarter. This is a
showing that should make the tin
plate liar hang his head for shame. 1t
is a hard tributeto American patriot
ism and courage in passing the bill.
and to American skill and enterprise
in string the industry in spite of free
trade threats to repeal the law. Give
the American manufacturer and work
man chance and the story of the tin
plate industry will simply be the oft
told story of the American steel rail
industry, the American wire nail in.
dustry, the American silk and ribbon
industry, the American pearl button
industry, the American plush in dns-
try and a score of other industries
that have been firmly established by
the aid of the protective tariff.-NP Y.
