little man who was making tracks in the

me to understand that | was very far
from being the wisest man on earth. In
short, he told me very pointedly that

myself, and when that dapper little dude
jumped onto me l used language that
would not adorn a Sunday school book.
Pick up my hat, sir, he commanded in
piping tones as he danced about in the
storm.
THAT was the last straw. stood my
shattered umbrella up in doorway and
advanced on the enemy. What, sir

Owing to some inosculation of the
nervous mechanism, which at present
we cannot unravel, the association OF
pleasure and wagging has become so in
separable that the movement of dogs
tail follows the emotion, whatever may
call it forth.
An explanation of similar kind can
be found for the fact that dogs depress
their tails when threatened or scolded
When running away the tail would be
the part nearest the pursuer, and there
fore most likely to be seized 1t was
therefore securely tucked away between
the hind legs. The act of running away
is naturally closely associated with the
emotion of fear, and therefore this ges
ture of putting the tail between the legs
becomes an invariable concomitant of
retreat or submission in the presence of
superior force.-Dr. Louis Robinson in
Popular Science Monthly.

1t is now announced that President
Harrison will make protracted visit to
Europe, where he will study economic
conditions for the purpose of writing a
book on the tariff. Heis still convinced
that the so called american system" is
the correct one and will endeavor to
prove that such is the case. General
Harrison is more plucky than the farm
er's yearling bull that ran full tilt at an
advancing locomotive. 81 admire yer
pluck" shouted the farmer, "but darn
yer Judgment" The general has been
knocked from the track, but is up again
and ready for another encounter. Ali
there is of the tariff question can be ex-
pressed in five word-the tariff is
tax. Unless Mr.. Harrison finds that out
before 1895 he will be too far behind the
times to lead even the Republican party
in that year.-Chicago Herald.

A Mighty Hunter,

When Adolphe Thiers, the petit bour-
geois statesman of France, became pres
ident of the republic, he was invited one
autumn to take part in the sports at the
country estate of NJ. Casimir-Perier. He
accepted the invitation, and consequent
ly had to appear on the hunting field in
shooting dress and armed with gun.
M. Casimir-Perier was aware that his
old friend, now the president. knew
nothing whatever about hunting. But
he instructed his gamekeeper to follow
M. Thiers about, and see that, in one way
or another, the great guest of the occa-
sion dragged" more game than any other
person.
The gamekeeper led the president to a
certain spot and said to him: Your ex-
cellency, the game will all be driven
past this place. You have nothing to dc
but remain here, and if you shoot at all
you are bound to kill something"
But the president, to his credit, de.
clined this opportunity, and insisted upon
travelling about with the other hunters
except that he never went to the right
place, and never got a shot at all. The
SdIieheepeI WAS Ill despair. l. ne ulS-
tinguished guest kept him hopping about
from place to place, but always out of
range of the game.
Nevertheless, by collusion with Others
the gamekeeper so managed it that when
the days sport was over M. Theirs, who
had not discharged his gun all day,
found large lot of game at his feet,
which was declared to be his bag"
"This miner" said the president in as
tonishment.
Certainly, your excellency."
The president looked up with twinkle
in his eye.
"Ah, see," he said. 81 never shot
anything before l became president, so
l suppose this was killed by the office,
not by the manv-Youth's COMPANION.

Looking for EnDneementa.

Just at this period of the year, when
the pantomime season is rapidly ap-
preaching, actors and actresses, particu-
lsrly those of the lighter schools, fly to
the papers to secure engagements. The
current number of the principal journal
devoted to theatrical and music hall re-
Guifements contains vast numbers of
advertisements, not only of this kind,
but of every possible requisite for the
stage, and some particulars of them may
prove interesting.
There are 404 ladies, including both
actresses proper and music hall stars,
major and minor, who have vacant dates
that require filing. In addition to these,
thirty-three combinations of SISTERS"
eleven troops of lady gymnasts and
trick bicyclists, three fat women, two
lady champion rifle shots and strong
lady seek engagements. Even this does
not complete the list. Twenty four com
petent lady pianists want something to
do, nine leading chorus ladies have no
where to sing, and four female instruc-
tors will be happy to teach dancing to
aspiring disciples of Tersipchore.
The male portion of the community is
represented by 419 advertisements, in
Guiding exponents of the legitimate
drama and representatives of the music
hall stage. To these must be added nine
jugglers, fourteen tight rope walkers and
aerial trapeze specialists, four strong
men, dozen circus clowns, six conjur-
ers and man monkey-whateve the
latter may be. There are fifty eight in
strumentalists who desire positions in
orchestras, and seven amateurs wish to
go on the stage. Trios, families and
troops are found in twenty five instances.

Then inform him that the cost of re-
fning is less than five-eighths cents per
pound, and that, as the per capita con-
sumption of sugar in the United States
is about seventy pounds, each difference
of 1-16 of cent between the price of
raw and refined sugar extorts about s2,-
100000 from the pockets of the people
and puts it into the pockets of the trust.
Without any duty the trust would be
making about $50, 900, 900 a year clear
proft-nearly 100 per cent. With the
duty of one-half cent per pound it can
and does raise prices one-half cent higher
and adds 100000, 900 to its already enor-

Then if he votes to leave the duty as
it Is or to put another duty on raw
sugar, tell him he no longer represents
you. and vote to retro him.

If protected manufacturers are wise
they will take pause as calamity proph.
cts and accept the lesson SO clearly
taught by the people. The many will
consent tc be taxed for the benefit of
American labor to the exact extent of
attaining "the greatest good for the
greatest number" but just there they
will call halt, They will not consent
that the many shall be taxed for the
benefit of favored few. Not only will
the Cleveland administration refuse as.
sent to such policy, but no party
power of the future, whether Democrat.
ic or Republican, will ever assent to it
again. 1t is dead-dead beyond the

Wise and Wholesome Adyice.

We have been asked if we should con-
slider it good judgment to renew lease
of woolen mill property, the only doubt
full element being the probable condi-
tion of the woolen industry during the
next five years covering the period of
the lease. Without hesitation we most
certainly answer in the affirmative, for
we can conceive of no reason why the
next five years should not be as produc-
tive of good results to the wooden manu-
facturer as the past five years.
1t is safe to assume that the Demo
cratic party will not legislate against
the best interests of the country, and
that there will be no legislation which
will be destructive of vested interests.
The aim and purpose of the Democratic
party is the same as that of the Repub-
lican psrty-the difference between the
two parties is wholly one of policy and
not of purpose, and the best interests o.
the Democratic party are identical with
those of the country-and they lie il
the direction of preserving our manu-
featuring industries and also in further
ing their growth under what they re-
gard as healthy and constitutional limits.
1t is very probable that under tariff
based even upon entirely free raw ma
terial and reasonable duties on manu-
factured goods there will be larger and
more ample net protection than the
woolen manufacture has had in years.
There is vast difference between an
apparent protection, as in the Mckinley
bill, and an absolute protection, which
may be obtained under far lower rate
of duties than we now have. In the
instance cited in these columns last
week where the duties were 132 per cent
of the invoice price there is apparently a
large protection, but the fact that the
foreign manufacturer can pay this
amount of duty and undersell the do
mestic manufacturer is evidence that
there is not much actual protection.
No one can forecast the policy under
which we are to conduct business the
next four years or so, but no sane mar
will for moment believe that whatever
it is it will seriously impair the pros
perity of the woolen industry. .-Ameri

Quail Is Cheap This Season.

One of the most astonishing things
just now is the cheapness of quail in all
the restaurants around the city. l be-
lieve the birds are remarkably plenty
this year, for the market is certainly
drugged with them.
1t Is amusing to see men who have all
their lives looked upon quail as rather
an expensive luxury pick up a bill OF
fare from restaurant table and read
Roast quail, thirty-fve cents" They
can scarcely believe their eyes. The
majority Of them "just know for Ger
tainty" that the dish is not what it pre-
tends to be. 1t can't be possible they
tell you. The birds must be robins OF
something like that. All the same they
eat them and enjoy the meal for the
birds are quail, and good ones too.-New

The two boys, eleven and thirteen
years old, who snatched woman's
pocketbook at the postoffice, where she
was writing a money order, and then
led the policeman merry chase by hall
ways and roofs, illustrate the march of
mind. When the novelist of "Oliver
Twist" sketched the youthful London
criminal, with whom he was well ac-
quainted, he makes him an expert pick
pocket. He appears as versatile and
ready of wit in doubling and covering
his trail, but nothing will be found in
his performance that suggests the New
World audacity. In its minor field it is
of piece with the dash that robs west
ern banks and holds up railway trains

was solid in its support of wool duties,
though in Michigan the free trade elec-

A Boa Constructor Among the Bananas.

small boa constructor dropped from
one of the punches. There was gen
eral stampede, during which the native

moments large crowd had assembled
at a safe distance and his snakeship was

ment, however, and the chilling atmos,
phere were not conducive to a great

himself in dozen bowknots, tucked

Why He Failed.

A queer story is told of Clermont
county merchant few weeks ago.
While in this city he was attracted by
the watches displayed in pawnshop
window and stepped inside to examine
them. Two or three persons from his
village happened to pass and saw him.
They went home and gossiped about the
matter. A report was spread that he
was hard up and had been seen pawning
his watch in Cincinnati. The report in
jured his business and his creditors also
began to press him. In short time he
was compelled to make an assignment.

To see any such advertisement appear

and it is well to be warned. An English
man has succeeded in perfecting an cleo

luminous letters and figures upon the

unnecessary. 1t is quite possible that
such an advertisement may some day be
