acquaintance. A man is often driven
from the head of his own dinner table to
see some empty headed numskull replace

Fortunately no girl in this country need
plunge into matrimony or make a loyeless
marriage Of convenience to free herself
from the restrictions of home life, as there
are none. English writer's tell us that in
England a young girl cannot walk the
length Of two or three streets to visit a
friend without a maid as an attendant.
She cannot take an early stroll in the park
without u domestic walking gloomily by
her side, while, on the other hand, the
young married woman may walk through
the streets alone and drive in a hanson
alone.
The revolt of the daughters in England
is now a fixed fact. 1t is a struggle against
bondage which they declare enslaves
their whole lives. In other words, it is a
strike for that liberty and independence
which our American young women enjoy.
The young English woman in the past be-
longed to her parents. Our American girl
feels that she belongs to herself. In the

She may decide them for herself. The
American girl quietly does it without Pc

The question of protection against
contagious and infectious diseases has
always been of the most vital impor-
tanoe.
Modern medicine lays stress, not so
much on disinfectants and deodorizes,
as on fortifying the body against disease
germs.
We all encounter every day disease
germs enough to kill us; but while the
body is robust, we throw them off; it's
only when the system is sufficiently
weakened and depressed that these dead
ly germs gain Judgement and the power
of doing harm.
The Rev. A. Ouellet, an excellent like
ness of whom is printed above, is one of
the most popular and greatly respected
priests in the lower provinces. His par
ish is in New Brunswick.
Like thousands of others he tried the
great modern remedy first prescribed by
Prof. Phelps of Dartmouth, the remedy
that gives proper nourishment to ill-fed
nerves; that procures the sleep that
makes brain and nerves play their parts
calmly and tremendously; that drives
the poison germs of deep-seated disease
from the blood; that gives tone to the
system, and consequent buoyancy of
spirit and happiness. He writes:

MosIem Amenities.

From the earliest times Mohammedan
historians, except when in subsection, in
describing the death of Christian, do not
say she died" or che was killed" but he
went to Jahanna." They do not say Of a
Christian that he was drowned, but they
say, 1.-THE dog went through water to fire. "
Not that these elegant phrases are confined
to Christians. 1t is sufficient for a man
to be not Mohammedan to entitle him to
"pursue the road to the realms of perdi-
ton" or to have his head "struck from
his filthy body, so that the world may be
gladdened by being cleansed from his pol.
luting existence"
When the army of Islam goes to war

Tho faithful, when they die, drink the

Soap Paper.

Travellers ON the European continent
know by experience that unless they take
soap in their travelling bags they will, in
all probability, have to make their toilet
without any A form of soap which will
be appreciated by them is the soap paper,
brought out in France. The paper is cut
into pieces, slightly larger than visiting
cards, and is covered on each side with a
thin layer of ordinary soap or of soap vari-
ously colored and perfumed- These soap
tickets are put into memorandum books,
cardcases or pocketbooks, just as If they
were business or visiting cards. Each
piece serves for one time only and is used
like an ordinary cake of soap. In the man.

sized paper are immersed in bath of CO.
coanut oil soap prepared in the same way
as for the manufacture of toilet soaps. The
strips of paper are dried, passed between
two rollers, in order to render them smooth
md slightly, and then cut to the proper
dimensions and stamped with any desired
mark Louisville Courier Journal.

Since it embraced the Democratic
faith the New York Times seems to be
losing its senses. 1t now claims in sub
stance that the Republicans are fighting
the tariff bill and should they succeed in
defeating it they will on their restora-
ton to power introduce just such a
measure as they are now fighting tooth
and nail. We are afraid that some of
the writer's on the Times are suffering
from the effects of the oppressive heat.
The Republican party believes in a pro-
tective tariff and the maintaining of
American markets and American wages
and it will not abandon that policy.
Many people who had been in the habit
of supporting Republican nominations,
deceived by the falsehoods and promises
of the Democratic press and orators, de-
serted the Republican cause in 1892, but
they were quick to discover that they had
made serious mistake and have return
ed to their allegiance to the party whose
statesmen, by their wise legislation, have
made this the foremost country on the
face of the earth.

For the relief and cure of a cold in
the head there is more potency in Ely's
Cream Balm than in anything else it is
possible to prescribe. This preparation
has for years past been making a bril-
liant success as remedy for cold in the
head, catarrh and hay fever. Used in
the initial stages of these complaints
Cream balm prevents any serious devel-
opment of the symptoms, while almost
numberless cases ON record of radical
cures of chronic catarrh and hay fever
after all other treatments have proved of

Suicide In New York.

Suicide statistics covering period Of
Is years in this city offer some interesting
deductions. They show, among other
things, that the Irish and the negroes are
not given to self destruction. The Germans
show a much larger percentage of suicides
than either of the races above mentioned.

are the more fruitful of suicides than other
portions Of the year is not borne out by fig
ures. In certain years during the last
quarter of the century the coolest month
has been the most productive of self de-

An Example Of 'eEternal Fitness"

In the Pennsylvania station at Jersey
City large number of waiting passengers
were amused by the antics Of a 16 months
old colored baby. 1t was one of those
frowzy headed little things, with beady
eyes and a weakened, prematurely aged
expression. Its parents were evidently
smart darkies, and the woman's sleeves
were as pulled up as ward politician.
1t was not long before the baby became
fretful, and the mother began a nervous
search among her luggage for the bottle.
Finally when she produced it everybody
laughed The bottle was black.-New

Close the Doors.

The vast hOTdes of unskilled Italians,
Hungarians, Poles and Russians that
have been landed at our posts during
the last decade have introduced into
our cities and into the iron and coal
regions not only reduced wage rate,
but deplorable social conditions. These
obvious evils should be remedied by
iudicious legislation. It will be only
the supremest act of folly to continue
to enact high protective tariff laws pro
hibitiVe or restrictive, of the products
of cheap foreign labor if we are to keep
our doors standing wide open to well
come cheap foreign labor itself. There
are classes of immigrants that
have been, and still are. coming to
this country that are not desirable.
They do not assimilate with our pOpu-
latiOn, but herd together as distinct
nationalities; they do not become citi-
Zens, nor wish to Go so. Themselves
stepped in ignorance, they do not send
their children 10 the public SCHOOL, aud
they sedulOusly adhere to habits, Gus
toms and even the languages of their
own countries. Among these undesir-
able classes there is a large proportion
of Socialists and Anarchists who are
the enemies of government and society
and whose presence in large numbers
is a constant and increasing danger to
our political and social institutions.
The country should discriminate in
welcoming strangers to share i,s hos
pitality as carefully as the individual
host chooses his guests. We do not in
vite the leper or the uncleap to sit on
our hearths and at our feasts, neither
should the government invite the
ignorant and lawless to come here and
enjoy the country's great advantages
which are so many and which are not
appreciated by them. Immigration
should be not only regulated, but re,
stricted to the worthy and the fit.-

DehOrning Cattle.
NOT A CRUEL OR PAINFUL. PRACTICE
IF DONE RIGHT.

The 5. Z. c. A. of New York State
has been making some trouble for far.
mers who have had their cattle de-
horned, despite the fact that the ex.
perts OF the State agricultural expert
ment stations recommend the practice.
lhe most humane plan of dehorning is
to remove the little knobs from the
calf's head as soon as they can be de-
tected.
Professor Roberts, of Cornell Uniyer-
sity, advises an application as earlv az
possible in the life of the calf The
method he recommends is the use of
the stick caustic potash. He clips the
hair closely from the skin over the lit.
tie horn and moistens the spot with
water, to which soap or few drops OF
ammonia have been added to dissolve
the oily secretion of the skin. Care
must be taken not to moisten the skin
except over the horn. Dip the end of
the stick caustic in water until it is
slightly sOftened, and then rub on the
moistened surface of the little horn.
This operation is repeated from five
to eight times until the surface of the
horn becomes slightly sensitive. It
causes the calf no pain, scab forms
which drops off in month or two leav
ing perfectly smooth poll.
