REPRESENTATIVE STEVENS of Massa- chusetts has introduced a tariff bill, covering the metal schedule, which is the result of many consultations with his democratic colleagues on the house ways and means committee. It places iron ore and scrap iron on the free list, and about cuts in half the duties on manufactured metal, as they are in the Mckinley law. The bill is based upon the report of the United States commis- sioner of labor, upon the conservative cost of manufactures of iron and steel in the United States and Europe, and Mir Stevens says the proposed duties are more than sufficient to cover the whole difference detween the cost of articles manufactured in the United States and in Great Britain. More than that no manufacturer has even the shadow of a right to claim.

Some very important uses for grass A0ppers have recently been discovered There would seem to be no reason why they should not be applied to commer- cial advantage in the event of q plague. Not long ago. says the Washington Star, four quarts of liquid expressed from half bushel of ''hoppers" under a cheese press were shipped in glass jar from Spirit Lake, Ia, to Prof Will liam K. Kedzie of the Kansas State Ag- r1cultural college. He made a complete analysis, and by distilling the juice with sulphuric acid he obtained color less, limpid solution of forInic acid. Now. this acid is very valuable, having a present market quotation of sixty cents an ounce. It is not only employed in medicine to considerable extent. but is also utilized in the laboratory to reduce salts of the noble metals gold, diver and platinum. Hitherto it has always been extracted from red ants, but the possibility of getting it in large quantities from grasshoppers suggests a method for employing those insects to bu uuIOOhCu-4OT d0Nhhbd&Os All AAOSC- esting feature of the analysis was the discovery of a certain amount of copper in the liquid. This metal has been found in the blood of other animals, particularly in that of the horseshoe crab, which always furnishes trace of it. It is not suggested, however, that grasshoppers would assay a sufficient amount of copper to the ton to make it
 worth while to smelt them.

THE protection which British juries afford to men who abuse their wives is extraordinary, and this is a striking case: At Leeds man named Knight, whose wife had deserted him on account of his violence and intemperance, went to see her to ask her to return home, and because she refused he fired three shots at her, hitting her each time, wounding her in the arm, back and ear The jury found that the prisoner fired only with intent to ''frighten his wife, " and the man had to be discharged.

A NUMBER of iron-ore companies in the Lake Superior region have entered into contract with New York party for pumping the water from Lake Ange- line, a large body of water, under which each owns large bed of ore. The depth of the lake is forty-three feet and the estimated amount of water is eight hundred million gallons. The contract calls for the completion of the work in five months. The undertaking is one of considerable magnitude and impor- tance in mining operations, and it's suc- cessful completion is likely to have a marked effect on work of a similar character in that section.

TituIar Distinctions.

The title ''professor" troubles Cam bridge men little or not alL ''Mr." is the favorite title at Harvard, and even the president of the university is usual ly spoken of as Mr.-that is, when the speakers are not affecting sophomoric ways. Professors from small fresh water colleges are much surprised at this absence of professional insistence when they come for special study to the university. It is said that doctor" particularly troubles English IL. D. D. 8 when it is applied to them. Prof. Free man was very brusque to Americans who tried to call him doctor" MT. Huxley says: "From the time first procured a visiting card (proud day with even a philosopher) it has borne MT. T. H. Huxley but have no objection to the professor The only thing cannot stand is doctor" An English comment upon this is: 'He is doubtless right about professor Tn Scotland it is still thought good deal of, but in England it is too closely associated with mas sage, ballooning and patent ointments; but that he should object to doctor strikes one as a little hard upon the medical calling" This is thought par ticularly hard, as MT. Huxley won some of his first honors as M. D.

LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER ONE.
 MR HARRISON is the first, and it is hoped that he may be the last president who ever personally took charge of the canvas to get himself renominated, and it is only since the Blaine boom assumed such dangerous proportions that MT Harrison so far forgot hls dignity as to do SO. But there is no question about his having taken the management of his fight into his own hands. Whether this was because he doubted the honesty or the political sagacity of Secretaries Elkins and Foster, or because he feared they would carry out their threats of revolt if he transferred the manage ment of his affairs to John c. New, is more than we care to say, but whatever the cause, MT Harrison is personally
 bossing his own political machine, tele- grams signed by him are being sent to the shaky delegates among the Gin structed," and he ia to be kept in in- stantaneous communication with the Minneapolis convention by means of a private telegraph, wire. Since assuming command Mir Harri- son has instructed his fighting men to hit every Blaine head that comes up, and his supporters are now openly threatening that if they cannot nomi- nate Harrison they can at least prevent the nomination of Blaine without a struggle so bitter that he cannot accept
 without practically confessing that his February letter was but a shrewd move toward getting the nomination. Ex- Czar Reed, who has made up with MT
 Blaine, with whom he has been on bad
 terms for years, is shedding no tears
 over the situation, as it is on the pro
 gramme for him to fall heir to the Blaine strength, if for any reason MT Blaine shall decide not to make use of it for himself; he also expects to be made
 temporary chairman of the convention.
