deeply buried in the water, the deck
rising only four feet above the sea-

as ram and torpedo boat.

The continuance and frequent fits
of anger produce in the soul a pro
pensity to be angry, which ofttimes
ends in CHI oler, bitterness and moros-
ity, when the mind becomes ulcer
ated, peevish and querulous, and is
wounded, by the least occurrence.

How MANY Make a Dozen.

Few things are more misleading In
business than the term dozen, which
varies in so many ways. A dozen is
commonly supposed to be twelve single
things. A bakers dozen is thirteen. A
dozen of cotton yarns is just nhG
hank" composed Of twelve "cuts."
dozen fish in some localities is twenty
six, and a dozen of pottery in the
wholesale trade may mean two or it
may mean fifty pieces, not depending
on the actual number of pieces, but OH
tue size, weight, etc, of the jugs, bowls,
plates, etc A printers 1000 is only
$50, but it takes 1,2O0 slaves to make
1000 in some sizes that are made for
export. In some of the trades the
terms "dozen,' hundred" and thou
sand" do not bear their literal English
meaning, but technical one peculiar
to each trade, as in stone work, latin,
shingles and cotton yarns. The tecll-
nical perversiOn of plain English CX-
tends to most Of our weights and meas
ures. Thus, gallon may be 231 cubic
inches or it may be 26j. In the school
arithmetics four quarts make a gallon,
eight gallons make a bushel, but III
practice it takes forty quarts to make
q bushel of corn, beans, etc. Ihls Is
because only the liquid quart cup C23l
cubic inches to the gallOn) is in use,
while the dry measure gallon contains
263 cubic inches.-Philadelp Times.

A Sugar Refner's TarifR.

A few days ago the American Sugar
Refining Company, which enjoys
practical monopoly of sugar refining in
this country, purchased 10000 tons of
raw sugar, the value of which at the
top price of G3c Per pound would be
about S784, 900. The present wholesale
price of refined sugar (granulated) is
5.1sc, which, according to the usual
methods of calculation, leaves a profit
of about 1.06c per pound to refners. or
about 1926, ,0G0 in all on this single
transaction, covering not more than two
weeks supply. Foreign sugar, CORE
spending in grade to our granulated.
could be landed here under present
conditions at q cost of about 5c peE
pound, Including khe duty Of IG per
pound: but Importers fear the risk of q
drop in home refined sugars in these
markets that would inevitably be made
if necessary to keep out foreign sup
plies. No better example of the effect
bf the present sugar tariff could 'he
afforded. It is not, Us it ought to be, q
revenue tariff; for, In the last fiscal
year it only produced about $3.50, 900 for
the Government Treasury. It is not a.
wage-earner's tariff; for labor pays the
bulk of the tax and plays but very
small share in the cost dt rehping. H

at present 1t is enabling the trust to
more than double its profits, and at

A Peep Behind the Scenes.

The tariff pot is boiling merrily, but
no one as yet can see exactly wnat is
in it. A number of industries in cot
ton, wool and linen have had, or are
shortly to have, hearings by the Ways
and Means Committee, but, so far as we
can gather, no one Of them has been
able to learn what effect these repre-
sentations are having, or, indeed. what
principle is to govern the formation of
the tariff of '94. Deductive reasoning
from precedent and from known condi-
tiOns alone affords a basis for any con-
ciu sion on this point. In conversation
this week with q. gentleman who has
been more or less identified with tariff
making in this country for many years,
and who enjoys the personal friendship
of Secretary Carlisle and Chairman
Wilson, the editor of the Dry Goods
Economist was given the positive opin-
in that the tariff finally passed would
not be @ "revenue only" tariff, but
would be modified protective meas
ure, and that specific duties, the adop-
tion of which, 80 far as practicable,
has always been urged by the Dry
Goods Economist, not because of their
exact Justice, but because of the ease
and certainty Of their application,
would not be favored to any consider
able extent by the Ways and Means
Committee. According to this gentle
mans prognosis, we may look for mod
crate ad valorem duties, laid with ref
erence to the revenue which they
would produce, but also with reference
to incidental protection of established
industries. That all textile schedules
will be based upon free raw material,
this information seemed to consider a
matter Of eourse,-Dry Goods Econos
