Getting Rid of the King.

Prince Bismarck told story the
other day of the battlefield of Konig-
graft The old emperor, then king of
Prussia, had exposed himself and his
staff TO the enemy's fire, and would not
hear of retreating to safe distance.
At last Prince Bismarck rode mp to
him. saying: "As responsible minister
! must insist upon your majesty's re-
treat TO safe distance. IL your maj
esty were to be killed the victory would
be of no use to as" The king saw the
force of this and slowly reiterated, but
in his zeal returned again and again to
the front. when l noticed il. Prince
Bismarck went on. Il only rose in
my saddle and looked at him. He I'M
derstood perfectly, and called out
rather angrily: 'les, / am coming.
But we did not get on fast enough, and
at last | rode up close to the king, took
my foot ont of the right stirrup, anc

kick. Such a thing had never before
happened TO the fat mare. but the move
was successful. for she shot off in fine

PROTECTION TESTIMONY.
American Industries stimulated rhrou
the Mckinley Bill.


The efforts of the democracy to per-
suade the people that protection is a
fraud" and that the Mckinley tariff
act affects injuriously the industrial in
terests of the country, seems to be at
tended with increasing difficulty. All
the facts in the case directly contra
vene their insistment. but that perhaps
would not be regarded by them as an
insupcrable obstacle IL the evidences
against them did not continue to multi
ply with such amazing rapidity. Among
other testimony that OF the commercial
and industrial bodies of Great Britain,
showing the effect of the tariff upon
British interests, is especially conclu-
sive. At the recent annual meeting of
the chamber of commerce it was con-
fessed that 1.-The coal, iron and steel
trades show increasing dullness, while
the textile industries are harassed by
the tariff" This is particularly true of
Sheffield, Bradford and other centers,
where il is stated that certain old

The chairman of the Associated Cham
bers of Commerce OF the United King
dom, in making these statements, add
ed that there was little of betterment
in the present conditions" Along with
these declarations we have others as

and this, too. in face of the vehement
democratic contention that this indus

LITTLE THINGS.

It is the little things that count. For
instance in the Post Office department
our respected Uncle Samuel uses half
a million lead pencils annually. He
takes 200 quarts of mucilage, 1900
barrels of ink, 10000 pounds of rub
Der bands and 1900 gross Of pens.
Life is made up of little things, little
instances, little events. If a cold is
taken to-day and is added TO, to-mor-

fancy you can neglect it. To delay is
dangerous. Get a bottle of Reds

try in the United States amounts to
nothing whatever as competing eco
nomic force. Then, too. we read that
in some of the British industries wages
are declining and the condition of the
workingmen is becoming desperate,
while the inspeetor-genera of bank
ruptcy in his recently published re-
port. declares that the increase in
bankruptcy lis due to the effects of the
Mckinley tariff law
Conclusive as this testimony would
seem to be, there are other facts, re
latirg TO the industrial situation at
home. which are equally striking as
corrcborating the statistics from
abroad. One of the latest evidences of
the benefieent effects of the Mckinley
law is furnished in the report of the
Massachusetts bureau of statistics Of
labor This bureau has always been
regarded as one of the most trust
worthy in the country, and its reports
have come to be accepted as indisputa-
HE by all fair-minded men. The re-
port for 1891, which has just been pub
lished. shows that, comparing that
year with 1890. there was an increase
of 2.65 per cent. in the amount of wages
paid during the year, the aggregate
paid being S.. 335. 945 greater in 1891
than in 1890. The largest increase was
in wooden goods, amounting to T.la
per cent. 1t is noteworthy that the
report OF the United States finance
committee, which embraced the whole
country. made the increase in wooden
goods manufactures 700 per cent The
Massachusetts statistics strikingly
confirm the figures given by Commits
sioner Peck as to the improvement Of
New York industries. A recent report
of the Indiana labor bureau bears sim
liar testimony touching the influence
of the Mckinley tariff upon wages and
production. The fact is that all testi-
mony, from whatever quarter, is con-
current as TO this point, and it is most
surprising that anyone should under
take to deny facts SO obvious and con-
elusive. No amount of special plead
ing or manipulation OF statistics can
change the facts in the case. Protec-
ton is everywhere stimulating our in
dustries, increasing the earnings of
workingmen, and augmenting our abil-
ity as a people to compete in many
forms of production in the markets of
the world. II will be strange, indeed,
if the American people. exceptionally
prosperous as they are, and facing I'M
equnled opportunities for national de-
velopment. do not approve. by an over
whelming vote, the protective principle
which, in every test, has contributed so
immensely to the general comfort and
welfare Frank Leslie's Weekly.

face, its diameter and circumference
being respectively almost exactly one
thousandth of the earth's diameter and
circumference.
Let us suppose everything on the sur
face of the earth to be reproduced on
the surface of Phobos, as men, trees,
ships. mountains, rivers, ETC., all re.
duced in size proportionately. 1t would
be only necessary to divide by 1000 the
dimensions of any earthly object to as
certain its dimensions as modelled on a
Phobian scale.
a man six feet high would. on this
scale, stand .O72 inch of our measure on
Phobos, and looking down with our
human eyes to find him we should have
to look for an oval object about .O22 in
diameter in its longest Dimensions. as
we should see only the head and
shoulders.
A good magnifying glass would bs
needed to determine the real character
of the mere speck that would be visible
to an unaided human eye at distance
of two or three feet from the surface. ON

railway train of ten vestibule cars,

An earthly river two miles in breadth
and 100 feet deep would be represented
ON Phobos by stream n little more

frozen over with sheet of ice four
Phobian feet thick and the ice would be
only as thick as sheet of drawing

HOW TO KILL WEEDS.

Neighbors Must Work Together to Exter
inmate Soxious Plants.
Weed according to rule is the genera
tone of bulletin No. 10 of the Oregon
experiment station given TO that sub
ject 1t requires as careful treatment
and study to kill out weed as il does K
grow common field crops. The bulle
tin TO carry out this idea gives genera
and specific rules for killing many OF
the more common field pests. There
should be cooperation first of all. 1t is
hard work for a farmer to keep his
fields free from weeds when his neigh
boris land is running over with them.
Plants living one year can be de
stroyed by keeping them moved or by
blowing under. Removing all plants
from the soil before they go to seed
will prevent the seeds remaining in the
soil and terminating after long sea
son. Plants living for more than a
wear are hard TO dispose of, but can
usually be killed by keeping the leaves
cut close. To cultivate IN a dry time
and when plants are growing is very
injurious for weeds.
Cutting when in flower will kill many
weeds. Look for introduction of weeds
through the manure. Keep fields well
occupied with crops. Buy seed OF re-
liable firms and avoid introducing
weeds through the seed. Good seeds
