FREE WOOLs

"Free wool is destructive to the
sheep industry of the west" says the
protectionists, and yet Bradstreet's
reports: Trade in wool for the week
shows a fair amount of activity, and
sales quite liberal Wooden mills are
being started up and manufactures
are trying to get stock of raw ma
terlal on hand. Australian woods are
dull"
This IS Bradstreet's report of the
market, and Bradstreet's reports are
accepted as correct. Under the pro.
lection rule wool has been going
down, down and the protectionists
have claimed it was because of fear
of Stree Wool Now we have free
wool in sight and the markets are ac
tive and the Australian clippings
which were to crowd the American
product out are dull and in poor de
mand. This is the situation to-day
But they say-"the worst has not YET
come" Well, we will wait and see
how these prophecies of evil are iul
filed.

1t matters not what adverse criti-
cisms may be passed on the Wilson
Tariff Bill, there can be no question
about the agreement of everybody on
this proposition: 1t is no make shift,
it is no halfway business done in a
half-hearted manner. It defines I'M
mistakably, the democratic position
it places the party in its true light
before the country, and from that po-
sition and in that light, it will be
judged right or wrong at the next
election.

course marked out for it beforehand
by the prophets. Both the friends
and the toes of silver looked for
sharp decline in prices as conse-
quence of repeal, but nothing of the
sort has taken place. For several
weeks in the latter part Of the summer
and early fall the quotation stood at
or near 20. Then just before repeal
it went down to about 20. Repeal
when it came sent the price down a
point for day or two, after which a
rally occurred, when the price went
up beyond the level at which it stood
when the repeal bill passed the SEN
ate. Since then there has been grad
ual falling off in price, the flCctuation
being between 6s and 20 points. There
has been no abrupt break or panic IN
the market.
Two causes for the steadiness in
the silver market may readily be trac-
ed out. These are the heavy purchases
by India and China and the decrease
in productions by the American mines.
China's purchase of silver has been
greater to the extent Of $1,000, 900
than they were last year along to this
time, while India is absorbing her av-
erage amount of the metal notwith-
standing the closing of her minis
few months ago to its coinage on pri-
vate account India continues 10 be
as it has been, q sink for silver. The
quantity of it used in that region for
trinkets and ornaments will not be af-
fected by the so called demonetiza-
ton which was ordered last Jure.
China, too, as shown by her purchases
in the past six oil eight months, will
do her part toward absorbing the sur
plus Of that metal. Silver prices has
therefore refused to drop suddenly
and materially because the foreign
demand has kept up to near ITS old
line while supply was decreased.
Another factor of great Importance,
but one which is liable to be overlook
ed or underestimate, has contributed
to steady the market in the past few
weeks This is the circumstance that
repeal was foreseen to be inevitable
long before the senate acted, and its
effect was "discounted. Part Of the
drop in prices which took place in the
summer was due to the certainty of
repeal. midas decentralization sent
silver down farther than had ever
been known before in the same length
of time, and part of this drop was
caused by the conviction that lndias
action made repeal in this country at
an early day certain. A day or two
before India closed her minis to the
coinage for private account the quo
tation was &c, and fiye days later it
was &c. No such drop in silver
prices is likely to occur again soon.
All the adverse influences have acted,
the market has learned the worst that
was in store for it, and reasonable
degree of steadiness in prices is prob
able in the near future.-Saint Louis

for him and he bent down to pick II up.
The door OF the room opposite, where
his brother, the Federal officer, slept,
was open. Driven by a sudden impulse.
he stepped up to it on tiptoe, and looked
in. Jefferson langley was sleeping
quietly, with the moon shining through
the window on his handsome, boyish
face, and making glitter on his golden
hair. His sleep was the calm and peace
full sleep OF one who has done his duty,
and has no more cares upon his mind.
Arthur Langley stood as it were spell
bound, and gazed at him. The infinite
pcacefulness Of the face at first perplexed
him. But presently he grew to under
stand il; and great shame for his own
contemplated cowardice stole over him.
Gradually his muscles relaxed. Silently,
and without word, he gathered up the
uDiform and carried it 10 a spot where it
might lie without exciting any ones sus-
picions. Having done this he crept back
TO his room and locked hi nself in again,
and hid the key where none we're likely to
discover it.
Then, feeling a great weight lifted
from his mind, he threw himself down
upon the bed, and slept dreamlessly, like
his brother, till the dawn.

Comfort for the Unsuccessful.

If we are money.makers, it is TO the
exclusion of something else il we have
gentleness and refinement, these qualities
unfit us for becoming money-makers. The
late Daniel Dougherty met at Narragan-
sett Pier a very charming young man
one evening, and afterwards asked me
if he was poor, or if he had inherited
fortune.
'Why do you not ask me if he has
made one?" / rejoined.
Because know he hasn't" replied
Mr.. Dougherty, who. as everyone knows,
was very keen observer of human ma
ture.
she is poor, or, if he is not, his
money was inherited" insisted Mr..
Dougherty, and when pressed him for
reason for his assertion he said: 'He is
too refined, too cultured, too altogether
charming ever to have made by his own
exertions a fortune, or even compe-
tency, beyond = mere living" which
was perfect diagnosis of the young
mans position in life Boston Home

Cannibals of the Ocean.

Such fierce carnivorous fishes as exist
in the depths of the ocean are unknown
at the surface. There is "black
swallower," which devours other finny
creatures ten times as big as itself,
literally climbing over its victim, first
with one jaw and then with the other.
Another species is nearly all mouth, and,
having no power of locomotion, it lies
buried in the soft ooze at the bottom its
head alone protrudipg, ready to engulf
any prey that may wander into its
cavernous jaws. There is a ferocious
kind of shark, resembling a huge eel.
All of these monsters are black as ink.
Some of them are perfectly blind, while
others have enSmous goggling eyes.
No ray of sunlight ever pieroes the dark,
unfathomed caves in which they dwell.
Each species is gobbled by the species
next bigger, for there is no vegetable
life to feed on Chicago Herald.

"Prince Rupert's Drops"

Tho most wondrous wonder Of the glass
makers art is the result of philosophi-
cal experiment and is known to scientists
as "Prince Rupert's Drop" These glass
drops known by a Princes name are
simply the drippings of molten glass,
pear or tadpole shaped" their curious
properties being the result of their being
suddenly glazed and their pores covered
by coming in contact with water when
at a white heat One of these "drops"
can be removed from the water and
smartly hammered without causing a
fracture, but if the smaller end has but
the slightest atom clipped from its sur
face the whole object instantly bursts
with explosive violence and disappears as
fine dust. The theory of this phenome-
non is that its particles, when in fusion,
are in a state OF repulsion; but, upon be-
ing dropped into the water, its super
fees are annealed and the atoms return
into the power Of each others attraction,
the inner particles, still in state of re-
pulsion, being confined within their out

The Bees Hard Days Work.

Every head of clover consists of about
sixty flower tubes, each of which con-
tains an infinitesimal quantity of sugar.
Bees will often visit hundred different
heads of clover before retiring to the
hive, and in order to obtain the sugar
necessary for load must, therefore.
thrust their tongues into about 5000 diff
ferent flowers. A bee will make twenty
trips day when the clover patch is con-
venient to the hive, and thus will draw
the sugar from 40, 600 different flowers
in the course of single days work.
Men think they have hard work to make
a living, but their employment. however
arduous, is an easy and pleasant task
compared to that of a working bee

WORKS of Patience.

Probably the sternest patience is dis
played by the sculptor or the painter
who will spend months and years in ma
terializing a conception. There is no
doubt more of patience displayed by the
Caucasians, speaking numerically, than
any other race, but | maintain that it is
q gift of nature and just as like to come
to dog as to man. only the dog would
not have sense enough to use it as effect
lively as men would. Ihave seen a great
deal of this quality of nature displayed
by savages, such as the negroes of Africa
and the Indians of America. We all adj
mire the armor Of the old English
knights and the wonderfully intricate
workmanship displayed upon many Of
them, but have seen Indian war cos
tunes that would make the eye of the
seeker after curiosities and rarities sim
ply blind. The whole is intricate and
interesting to look at, but closer inspec-
ton will invariably show almost endless
work-labor Of years to make it look
beautiful. Some of the negroes of the
south have fishing rods and tackle that
are marvels of delicate hand workman
ship, so much so that there is nothing
like them to be had in the market for
money. All this, however, is only &C
complished by almost supreme patience.
