REFORM OF THE TARIFF,
Senator Mills Views of What Congress,

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator Roger
q. Mills declines to talk on the subject
OF an extra session. That" said he last
evening, sis something that must rest en-
tirely with the President. | do not care
TO express my own views as to whet her
he should or should not call congress to-
gether. Leaving out of the question the
matter OF time, i have my own ideas as to
what should be done in the matter of re-
forming the tariff after we get at it.
am now, as i have always BEEN" Mr.
Mills continued, lin favor of putting Ali
raw material on the free list, and putting
only revenue duty OH the manufactured
article.
There should be a revision of the tariff
on broad lines. 1t should be remodelled
from top To bottom. with no halfway
business about it OF course, it will take
time to do all this, for when you get at
1T you strike all kinds of snags
The man who has constituency that
raises wool wants you to leave your
hands off him, and so it goes throughout
the list; the steel rail man wants you to
pass him and make up your revenue from
the lumber district, and the lumber dis
trict representation urges the House co
look to the coal district. aud so to the end
OF the hundreds OF articles that 90 TO
make up the list.
1t is no easy task to overcome all
these obstacles, and it must happen that
someone is disappointed. 10 attempt to
do the work by means of bills that oper-
ate In one direction will not bring about
the reform that the people demand. liz
must be systematic and tnclude the
whole scheme of taxation When it il TO
be commenced is a matter in which /
have no voice. That rests alone with the
President, and have no doubt he will do
what is best for the country"

An Electric Tricycle..

An enterprising electrician in Indiana
lately constructed an electrical tricycle.,
the description of which brought letters
OF inquiry from all parts of the country.
The machine was worked by storage bat
teries carried under the seat, and which
gave enough current for an eight hours
run. Whether the machine turned out to
be impractical in the form then
adopted, or whether It's inventor hesi-
tated to undertake it's commercial ex-
ploitation, is not recorded, but the pub
lie, at all events, has heard no more OF
the Indiana machine. Another inventor,
however, is ambitious to be the first to
claim the invention Of commercially
practicable electric tricycle., and has
patented a machine which relies for mo-
tive power also on the storage battery.
The singular point in it's construc-
tion, however, is that the storage batteries
are carried around the circumference of
the wheel, preferably close to the tire,
and there can be any number of cells, ac-
cording to the power required. 1t is
claimed that in this way the weight of
the storage batteries is more equally dis
tributed, and In such a manner as to
cause the minimum interference with the
efficient running OF the machine, while
at the same time affording a simple and
easy method OF construction. The cells
are connected by wires to insulated
sleeves that carry the current to a motor
in the axle of the wheel, which gives the
motive power to the machine.-Boston

in Provence, on the festival Of Corpus
Christi, the finest tom cat of the country,
wrapped in swaddling clothes like a

shrine to public admiration. Every knee
was bent, every hand strewed flowers or
poured incense, and Grimslkin was
treated in all respects M the god OF the
day. But on the festival Of st. John poor
Toms fate was reversed. A number OF

basket and thrown alive into the midst
OF an immense fire kindled In the public
square by the bishop and his clergy.

LONG FlNGERNAlLS.
Chinsman Raised One Six Inches In
Length.

To allow the nails to grow to an inor-
dinate length is common in China, as an
indication that the owner follows a sed-
entary occupation or leads life of leis-
ure. Long nails on the right hand would
interfere with the use of the brush (cor-
responding to our pen), and would there
fore reflect unfavorably on the person
concerned. as tending to show that he id
not devote himself to composition or
literary exercises, the pride of all educa-
ted Chinese.
They are almost always confined to the
left hand, therefore, and are at times very
long, delicately chased silver cases being
worn to protect them.
Some years later met Chinese gentle
man who had carefully guarded the
growth OF the nails on the third and
fourth fingers, the former for ten years,
the latter for over twenty-five. The nail
on the fourth finger when the silver pro-
tector was removed, was some six inches
or more long, and twisted like a cork
screw. Some few months later this gem
tleman, owing to an accident, broke the
nail. His grief was as great as II he had
lost near relative.

Providence Preachers Have Their
Say to the People.
REV. ]. H. LARRY ON C0WARDS.
Ernest G. Wesley breaches on New Eng
land Paganism and Makes Good
Points-Dr. Root Tells of India. and
Mr.. Bromley Talks on Salvation.

At the Stewart Street Baptist Church
yesterday morning the pastor, the Rev.
Edwin Bromley. preached sermon on
the subject "Too Good TO Keep" taking
his text from III King, 40, Now There
fore Come that we may go and Tell. "
The morals were those of the lepers who
had gone to the camp of the Syrians who
were besie Ring Samaria and had found
the camp deserted. The Lord had fought
the battle for Israel and the Syrians had
fancied they heard mighty hosts descend
ing upon them The lepers had found
plenty to eat and drink and much silver
and gold to be taken and disposed of and
they wanted the people TO know of il.
The preacher drew a comparison between
the lepers and many of the people i'm
Christ's time. Those whom he healed of
disease and cured of blindness could not
refrain from publishing it abroad, for it
was .stee geed 10 keep"
Another comparison drawn was be-
tween the lepers and Christians. The
Christian is anxious to have everybody
know about the salvation OF Christ as
soon as he experiences II, and it also is
too good to keep" No Christian who is
continually telling others what God has
done for him Is in any danger of back
aiding.
