A HELPFUL EXPERIENCE.
How . Young Man was Saved From Be-
coming Misanthrope.

coming a Misanthrops.
THE years that had spent in learn
ing the trade" said a wealthy retired
stove dealer, had left a gloomy i'm
preston on me. Then, as now, almost
every body that had a furnace that
needed fixing up put off attending to it
until the last minute, and then they all
wanted the work done at once. Of
course most of them had to wait, and
those who had to wait growled. 1t
seemed as though the world was full of
GROWERS At twenty-one l was in dan
ger OF becoming a misanthrope, but
was saved from that by a new expert
ence.
About the first call had after start
ing in business for myself was from a
school The furnace had broken down
suddenly in mid-winter. The school
was closed while the repairs were be-
Ing made. The breaking down of the
furnace fairly delighted the children;
their only regret was that it wasn't
more broken down, so it would take
longer to fix it. OF course, it was per-
tectly natural that the children should
look at it just as they did. Neverthe-
less 1t was pleasing incident; and be-
yond the mere amusement that it af-
forded me at the moment, it yielded
this more substantial benefit: 1t awak-
ened me to the fact that the way in
which things appear often depends very
much on how you look at them.
"In this happier frame of mind dis
covered that besides the GROWERS that
had happened to meet there were in
the world plenty of thoughtful and con-
siderate people, and that one needed
only the right sort of eyes to be able to
see good points even in the man that
got cross about his stovepipe. IN. Y.

Our exports of domestic merchan-
disc for the month ending Novem-
Der 30, 1881, amounted to $780,
1877, 1928, against SIS, o47,607 for the
same month of the year preceding.
And yet no Democratic allegation
against the Mckinley bill was press
ed more often, widely and loudly
than it would destroy our export

ton?

Hence it is only necessary, in
order for a person 10 have his name
printed upon the ticket, that he
should be nominated by respectable
body of electors properly assembled
who are entitled to vote for him at
the election.
Any person who is not nominated,
or who is placed in nomination by
persons who reside outside Of his
election district, would not be en-
titled to have his name printed on
the ticket.
1t is not intended, however, that
any person who desires to run for
office shall be prohibited from fur
nishing slips, or seeking, within the
provisions of the law, to have his
name written or pasted on the ticket
by electors when they are preparing
their ballots in the booths. All
such votes and the votes for any
person, when on the ballot, should be
counted under the same directors as
govern the counting of votes for reg
ular candidates whose names are
printed on the ballots.

There is much manifestation OF a
disturbed state Of mind on the part
of the free trade Democrats because
cotton ties are not left on the free
list by Mckinley. Cotton ties are
made of a certain grade of hoop iron
and are used in binding together
cotton in bales. The ties used TO be
made in England. The Mckinley
bill put tariff of one cent and
three hundredths of cent on a
pound of the ties. As soon as the
bill went into effect American man
ufacturers began making the ties
and now sell them 20 per cent less
the cotton producers used TO pay the
English manufacturers for them.
The Mckinley bill reduced the cost
one-hftb, but that does not satisfy
the planters or the Democratic free
traders. The English makers of the
ties have some on hand, and they
want tho tariff removed so that they
can now, after our own citizens have
built up their factories, and reduced
the price of ties, come in with their
ties and undersell our makers. They
never thought of reducing the price
till the Americans had done so, but
now they want to do it, thereby
acknowledging that when they had
control of the market they charged
the consumer more than a fair price.
The free traders want to help them
do 1t but it wont be done

Business women will do well to make virtue of tnoir independence. Decline the gratuities which mon have been in the habit of bestowing, often very un- willingly-the paid fares, ice creams. the petty gifts-all of which place wom- en more or less in the power of men, and are the evidence of dependent inferior ity. Mind your own business, keep con- trol of your own money affairs, pay your own car fare, and if you have any thing to give give it. Do not allow it to be tricked out of you' or give away the most precious result of your ef- forts--your independence. Jenny Junes "Thrown on Her Own Resources"

Twice, before the deacon ould reach
her, the poor, chivalrous soul was hid
den beneath the surface, and when

Then Anna explained how Jessie had
