Representative Harter, of Ohio, pro-
poses an excellent plan to end the
tariff muddle in Congress. He has
introduced a compromise bill possess
ing the merit of brevity, embodying a
"horizontal reduction" of one-half on
all present duties, provided such re-
duction does not bring them below 20
per cent. ad valorem. Duties now
below thatrate are to be reduced to a
uniform rate Of IL per cent ad volor-
EN-. A tariff of one cent pound is to
be placed on sugar and the bounty
law be repealed. Provision is made
for an increased internal revenue tax
on beer and wine, but the tax on
whisky remains unchanged, and no
income tax is provided for. Mr..
Harter's bill would cure the trouble
and raise ali the revenue required.

A well known member of the bee
keeping fraternity has been lecturing in
Northumberland on that particular form
of small industry to which he has de-
voted himself, and in the course of his
address he dwelt not merely on hefnan-
cial but the hygienic advantages of
bee culture. He informed his audience
that he was the father of twelve chill
dren, all living, and ascribed this fact to
the liberal use of honey as an article of
diet, adding that he gets good deal more
money from the local doctor for honey
than the doctor gets from him for medi-
cine.
More than that, he has derived another
personal advantage from keeping bees
in his complete freedom from rheuma-
tism, from which he previously suffered,
and has no doubt that this pleasing inn
munity is entirely due to the beneficial
influence of bee stings. We have heard
of people fagellating themselves with
nettles, but the beauty of the bee cure is
that there is no necessity for any exer-
ton on the part of the patient. West

On one occasion at Bournemouth Prin-
cess Maud went into shoe store and
purchased a pair of rubbers, or, as the
English call them, "galoches." The
storekeeper was little abrupt, and as
the rubbers were inexpensive he declined
to send them home. The princess ac-
cordingly carried the parcel herself, but
within a few minutes she was met by
one of her suit in search of her, and the
dismay of the churlish tradesman when
he heard who his customer had been can
we'll be imagined. He had, however, the
cool impertinence to place the royal arms
with the crest of the Prince of Wales
feathers above the shop window and in
scribed in large letters ON the plate glass,
"Patronized by Her Royal Highness the
Princess Maud" This so Disguised her
little highness that she had a special in
junction served ON the man, which re-
suited in his taking the arms, etc., down.

She Wns Warm.

The incident occurred while party
of strangers were being taken through
the Chollar workings. In the party was
a girl-an innocent little thing, whose
knowledge of mines was limited to a
few vague impressions acquired through
reading and hearsHv. She had only one
vivid recollection, and that was that
mines are hot.
The party was mixed, and the gentle
mon, as usual, carried lanterns. AS it
was also large, when preparations were
made to go down the incline the guile
less creature aforesaid and another lady
and gentleman were all assigned to the
lower seat of the giraffe. After the
giraffe started, to further the general
comfort, the girl slipped down at the
feet of her companions and found seat
OH something the nature of which she
did not stop to investigate.
A short way down the incline she re-
marked that it was getting warm. Far
ther on she repeated the observssSon,
and her companions responded that they
had not noticed it, while the miner who
had the party i'll charge assured her
that the incline was supposed to be
cool. She continued to call attention to
the heat, however, to the surprise Of
her comrades and their guide and at
the station she scrambled out of the
giraffe, exclaiming:
"Whew, but it was hot in there!' --
The miner was mystified; but, casual
ly looking at where she had sat, the
light dawned upon him, and he electri-
fled the innocent little thing and the
rest of the party by dryly remarking:
cts no wonder you were warm.
You were sitting on that gentleman s
lantern. "-Virginia (Nev) Chronicle.

small amount of money was realized
The reporter who had first talked to the
stranger was assigned to go up to the lit
tie mans home and do what was best
with the money. AS if dazed, the man
in the flannel shirt followed him.
A short walk brought them to his
home. Strewn over the sidewalk lay the
scant household goods of the family of
two. The reporter interviewed the land
lady, while the little man sat down in
one of his own chairs outside with a
blank look on his face.

meanwhile saying. "Why, they're the
most worthless lot around. They haven't

Women Bicyclists.
T. DE WITT TALMAGE

The death of the lady cyclist from
syncope after bicycle ride is Of course
the text for many fraternal warnings
and advice to lady bicyclists to give up
the enjoyment of an exercise in which
it is feared they may indulge to excess
They are, Of course, told by some that BIZ
cycling is unladylike, if not unwoman-
ly, and that women do not know how
to practice the careful restraint in such
matters to which men are accustomed
They may very we'll afford however, to
treat all this sage advice as at least su-
perfuous. So far from being unsuited
for women, bicycling is an exercise in
which they may indulge with perfect
security and generally with much ad-
vantage. We are persuaded that they
are as little prone to excess in athletics
as are the generality of men, and within
reasonable bounds we should like to see
cycling as generally practiced by wom-
en- as by men, and it would be greatly
to the advantage of many cycling clubs
and cycling resorts that the ladylike
element should be more largely intro

child played near The little one re-

Gaugh rushed from the group toward
the middle of the street. A trolley car
was speeding along, and directly in front
of it was the little girl. The child
seemed lost, but the plucky young wo-
man sprang in front of the Car and
pushed the child from the track. She
then tried to run back, but it was too
late. The car, at reduced speed, struck
her and threw her forward along the
track. When she was lifted from the
street, she had been fatally injured,
and she died before the hospital was
reached. Paterson Standard.
