A YOUNG GIRLS FORTUNE.
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.

Nothing appeals so strongly TO a mothers
affection as her daughter just budding into
womanhood. Following is an instance: "Our
daughter, Blanche, now Is years of age, had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and
had lost the entire use of her right arm. She
was in such condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les
sons. PIN fact, we feared st. Vitus dance, and
are positive but for an invaluable remedy she
would have had that terrible affection. We
had employed physicians, but she received no
benefit from them. The first of last August she
weighed but IS pounds, and although she has
taken only three bottles of Nervine she now
weighs LOG pounds her nervousness and symp-
toms of st. Nitus dance are entirely~gOne, she
attends school regularly, and studies with com.
fort and ease. She has recovered complete use
of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no
money could procure for our daughter the health

When my brother recommended the remedy

not listen to him, but as last resort he sent US

effect was almost immediate. Mrs. K. r.

A year ago Judson, who failed last
week in the glove business at Glovers-
vile, New York, for $4,000, stumped
his county for Grover Cleveland and
free trade, denounced the protection
lists and promised all glove makers,
thrown but of employment by reason
of a free trade law, plenty of work at
increased wages. When Cleveland was
elected and the passage of the Wilson
bill became almost certain, Judson's
business dropped off SO per cent, and
he FASTENED to appear before the house
committee to protest against the glove
schedule. He received no satisfaction
and returned home only to be beseiged
by hundreds of unemployed glove
makers asking him for work. He

Cleaning by Sand Blast.

A successful method of applying
the sand blast to the cleaning of pub
lie buildings externally is found to
be by the use of an apparatus in the
shape of a sheet tin tube of some 8
feet length and 81 inches diameter,
this being bent into a goose neck
at one end and terminating in a 2
inch nozzle. A second tube, an
inch in diameter, enters the first at
the upper bend of the goose neck and
terminates about three inches inside,
being thus central with the nozzle.
The sand is fed with the proper de-
gree of directness and force through
this tube from a hopper and is pro
jected steadily against the work by
an air blast through the outer tube.
1t is stated that with an air pressure
of two pounds per square inch at the
nozzle one square foot of marble will
be abraded to a depth of one thirty
second of an inch to one sixty-fourth
of an inch in one minute, leaving a
fresh clean surface.--New York Sun.

How an Infant School was Founded.

1t is well known that the society of
Friends object to all war. This con-
scientious feeling has sometimes
placed individual Quakers in an awk-
ward position.
Forinstance, during the war against
the first Napoleon a ship that was
partly owned by a Friend captured a
Dutch vessel. The long continuance
of the state of war prevented him
for several years from compromising
the owner and sailors of the seized
vessel, in accordance with his prin.
ciples.
In the meantime he invested the
money received as his share of the
prize, and when at last peace was de.
clared he paid it over, with interest
to date, to those who had suffered by
the capture of the vessel.
Not being able to find them all, he
founded with the rest of the money
a free infant school in Amsterdam,
this being the port from which the
Dutch ship had sailed. The schooI
was the first of the kind set up in
the city, and it was housed in a build
ing called Hollands Welfare
which was the name of the captured
vessel.-New York Journal.

Mail Armor.

The covering for the body in time
of war usually consisted of ordinary
garments very thickly quilted, or COW
cred with small rings of metal sewn
upon the inside.
The quilted material deadened to a
considerable extent the force of a
blow, and the rings made it very
difficult for the lance or sword to
penetrate. There seems to be some
ground for believing that small disks
of horn or bone were sometimes
sewed upon garments for a similar
purpose, but this is not absolutely
certain, for we have only the repre-
sensations in Examinations to Judge
by, and it is not always easy to tell
exactly what was meant to be de-
picted.
The mail armor varied much as to
the manner in which the rings were
affixed to the surface that they were
intended to protect. In some in
stances they seem to be sewn on at
one edge only, in rows, and SO to
overlap each other. In others they
do not overlap, and in yet other
cases they are linked together after
the manner in which purses use9 to

The Black of the Eye.

The invariable blackness of the pu-
pill of the eye was a puzzle to scien-
tific men until Professor Helmholtz
showed it to be the necessary effect
of refraction. Sufficient rays are re-
fected from the bottom of the eye to
render visible the parts there situat-
ed, but since these reflected rays in
emerging from the eye must traverse
the same cula media through which
they passed in entering the eye it is
evident that they must undergo the
same refraction which they under
went as entering rays, only in an op-
posite direction. The result of this
is that the paths of the emerging
and entering rays coincide, and the
former will therefore return to the
source whence, as incidental rays,
they originally started. There is
nothing in the pupil to reflect light
in fact, it resembles a window look
ing into a dark room.-Brooklyn

congress is taken up in breaking down
the barriers to crime on the ballot? 1t
is for the purpose of perpetuating
Democratic control in national affairs
by fair means or foul, and this neces-
sity is considered paramount to all
other legislation. Fortunately the
tariff policy of the Democratic party is
so obnoxious that even fraud on the
ballot cannot save it from ig%nominious
defeat when the people get a chance
to vote again. 1t is not likely the
south, with its hatred of northern thrift
and enterprise, will discontinue its
practice of counting all the votes needed
in congressional districts, but with the
exception of a few rotten burroughs in
New York city, majorities will be SC
large in the northern states that ever
fraud cannot check the will OF the
| people.

English Egotism.

We English, dear Lady Betty, are
a righteous race, an altogether SUI
perior people.
But neighbors do not love us.
The reason of this is simple. We
have too high an opinion of our
selves and too low an opinion of
others.
According to the popular estimate,
Americans are vulgar, French are
immoral, Russians are barbarians,
Italians are beggars, Spaniards are
cutthroats, Germans are Doors,
Greeks are sharpers, Australians
are convicts, Swiss are harpies,
Turks Ire unspeakable, and every
other people below contempt.
Foreigners are. in fact, deceitful,
effeminate, irreligious, immoral, un-
clean and unwholesome.
Any M Englishman is a match
for any seven of them.
The only wonder to me is that the
nations do not arise and annihilate
us.-LOndon Truth.

Thomas G. Sherman, the free trade
fanatic, who resides in Brooklyn, n.
", an Englishman by birth, who has
made a little reputation as a magazine
writer, was rebuked by workingmen a
few nights since. This visionaire
went to Gloversville to instruct the
operatives as to the beauties of free
trade and to demonstrate that protec-
ton could do them no good. But
Sherman was not allowed to talk.
Had he been deaf and dumb he would
not have been permitted to make signs.
With factories closed down it was no
time for free traders to open up. The
| people knew what protection had done
for Gloversville and they did not care
to listen to the paid attorney of some
free trade club. Mr.. Sherman was
permitted to say that the condition OF
Gloversville was not due to the Wilson
| bill. This was enough. He was advised
| by the crowd to $50 south and talk to
the ex-rebels," who added "Down with
Sherman pauper wages" There were
| no scales on the eyes of Gloversville
operatives. Many of them may have
voted wrong, but they did not care to
hear anything more from the theorists
| who had deceived them. Mr.. Shear
| man was advised to return to Brooklyn
and with the aid of the police he made
good his escape. While the American
| people believe in free speech there is a
limit to human endurance, ~and a
| crank should not be turned loose on a
suffering community to arouse the
| passions of the unfortunate.

MIR. FORD's REPORT.

Worthington c. Ford, chief of the
bureau OF statistics OF the treasury
department, has made an elaborate
report upon "wool and manufac-
turers of WOOL" in answer to a ESQ
luton of congress. 1t says: ''The in
crease in the production in foreign
countries, especially in Australia,
South America and Africa has been
far greater than in the United States.
While the American clip has trebled
since 1860, the Australian clip has In
creased tenfold, that of South Amer
lea nineiold and that OF South Africa
fivefold." The report shows that the
year 1892 gave the wool producing
interests even in the most favored
countries, as Australia, a setback. 1t
says: "That the sheep raising inter-
ests Of the world is passing through a
period of depression is not to be de-
MED. Low prices OF wool have re-
acted upon production by reducing
the profits derived from woods and
diminishing the temptation to extend
production. Were this depression
local, local remedies would apply, but
it is general and affects those coun-
tries where the advantages for sheep
raising excel as well as to those where
woolgrowing is a secondary matter
and even a by-product rather than an
industry" The above showing simply
proves what protectionists have
claimed all the time, that the wool
product of the world had greatly in
creased in the past few years, hence
the gradual decline in value, and that
it was nothing but a tariff that pre-
vented the domestic product from
falling to the foreign level, as it will
should the Wilson bill become a law.
1t is not long since the Helena indie
pendent set up the claim that the Nc
Kinley law was no benefit to wool
growers as wool had declined in value
since it's enactment. Undoubtedly
the great increase of the worlds prod
uct has had its influence on the Amer
lean clip, but if the free trader thinks
that the worlds supply would grad
ualIy bring American wool down to
the foreign price, why is he so anxious
to remove the duty? Their attempts
in this direction prove the insincerity
and faleity of their contention. Mr..
Ford, who imagines himself a philoso-
pher, says: "Wool raising is con-
trolled by the same economic condi-
tions as other interests, and the pres
ent depression in the wool industry is
general, not local." The flockmasters
were not complaining of depression in
prices prior to the election of Grover
Cleveland and a free trade congress.
The drop of one or two cents on a
pound gave them no alarm, but a
drop from eight to ten cents in a few
months warns them that they must
compete with the world on a free
trade basis, owing to the ascendency
of a party hostile to American inter-
ests. Mr.. Ford, as a cuckoo, can take
a position on the top of the perch,
but he imparts NJ information that
woolgrowers and manufacturers OF
wool did not know.
