 The back has twenty-six seperate bones, so strung together that they have very little individual movement: but what little they have ought to be carefully preserved, if we would be capable, graceful and easy.
 Children have nine more separate bones; these become joined into two, to form the solid back wall of the pelvis- that pony basin which holds our deli cate abdominal organs.
 There would be no muscular back aches if we had kept childhood's move ment of the back.
 There arc no superfuous muscles in the human body, and sooner or later those which have been deceased to de- generacy will be called into action. Then, naturally, they will either fail utterly to respond to the call, or they will act beyond their strength and suf- fer for it.

prompt revival of business, and who have more zeal than knowledge, that the new tariff makes only little change from the Mckinley law. Yetwhat are the facts? On many of the most inn portant products the duties are re- duced more than one-half, and on many others as much as a third, and these are products, moreover, which were so largely imported in 1891 and 1892 under the Mckinley duties as to prove that those duties were by no means prohibitory.
 1t Is essential to remember that q duty which is not high enough to pro tect is like dam which is not strong enough to resist flood. Only little difference in the. dam or the duty may bring tremendous disaster in place of peace and prosperity. The question is whether the duty is high enough to keep domestic establishments at work with fair wages. Cutting off wages necessarily cuts off what the people can buy, and thus necessarily reduces business. Now the one fact which everybody can see is that wages are at present very much lower than they were two years ago, before the people voted for change of tariff, and the definite settlement which the new tariff has brought does not anywhere permit any recovery of wages as yet, but in many important branches it has compelled decline. Thus the win dow-glass workers recently accepted q reduction of twenty per cent. and the tiint-glass and tin plate workers rare also expected to accept reduction.
 It is impossible to state with accu- racy what the aggregate reduction in all kinds of wages has been, but it is unquestionably enough to account for Il material shrinkage in the purchases of the people, and consequently in the volume of business. This alone would be a very serious change, should it continue, even though none of the American works should be directly closed by foreign competition. For if the people can only spend S4,000,000,- coo where they formerly spent $5,000,- 000,000 yearly, great many establish ments will have to stop because of q lack of demand for their products. Some theorists imagine that, with prices down 20 or 50 per cent the smaller wages will go as far and buy as many boots or clothes as the larger wages previously received. But the trouble is that while prices of some goods which are liable to be imported have been much reduced, other prices have been reduced very little or notsat all. It is capable of demonstration that the cost of living, even at the lowest point this year, has at no time been as much as 10 per cent lower than it was in 1899, but wages are probably at least 20 per cent lower.

THE SHEETS LAMENT.

Oh, listen to my tale of woe.
 And let the tender-hearted weep; For strong and cruel Is my foe,
 And am only just sheep, useful sheep, patient sheep. A quiet, inofTensive sheep. These reckless champions of reform"
 Who SOW the ills that all lnus0 reap Have ''nursed their wrath to keep 1t warm, ' And now wreak vengeance un tho sheep, The friendless sheep tho helpless sheep, The meek and unresisting sheep. For, swearing by the great horn spoon. That raw material'' must be cheap. Great Grover blew his loud bassoon.
 And harked his pack upon tho sheep The docilc sheep the feeble sheep. The peaceful, uncombativo sheep. There gro some things that can rely
 On friends that never fall asleep; But, winliing with his southern eye,
 Each sly reformer belts the sheep The gentle sheep, the harmless sheep The northern farmers hapless sheep. The sugar trust must have its pull,
 But all the tariff tinlScrs leap Like bowling wolves into my wool. Sf And vent their malice on tho sheep, The harrlcd sheep, tho worried sheep, The weak and unprotected sheep The whisky trust has Daniel V. :, The wild and windy one to keep Its interests Solid but, oh, ne! Who acts as counsel for the sheep? Tho cheated sheep, the buncoed sneep The poor, forlorn, abandoned sheep. And if to crown our woes, alas
 Already burdensomc and deep, t' Should William Bynum burn the grass, Oh, what could then preserve the sheep? The luckless sheep, tho foodless sheep, Tho helpless, hapless, hopeless sheep.

 sg~ About the only industrial revival so far discoverable in this country is the desperate activity of democra tic , congressman in explaining their con- | duct and seeking reelection. Theirs is the liveliness of men trying to get out of the way of landslide.-N. Y! Tribune.
 eB The people of the United States consume sixty-two pounds of sugar per capita, which means that on the total amount consumed in a year under the present tariff law, they will pay forty million dollars. more than they paid for the same amount under the Mckinley law. This is one of those plain and practical North Amer ican political facts which the average citizen can readily comprehend St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 EzB- Democrats in 1892 wore crane on their arms and roosters in their hats and actually seemed to believe they were the most oppressed people on the continent They have had several ob- Ject lessons since that time. A careful study of the statistics for 1899 shows that the entire amount of duty col lected under the Mckinley law in that grievous year amounted to just S2. 66 per capita. Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Ga5 "Bradstreet's and Dun's reports show loss of S2,OO0, ,0O0, 900 to trade since the inauguration of President Cleveland. To this must be added about $50, 100000 of deficit in the na- tional finances and $50, ,OOO, 900 of bonds issued to carry on the government If the results of the new tariff should prove to be all that its friends have claimed for it it will have to earn one thousand millions each year for the remainder of President Clevelands term in order to place the government and the people in as good condition financially as they were on the sth day of November, 1892, when Grover Cleve- land was elected.-N. Y. Recorder. CB There is democratic tariff law in force now. 1t is the intention of the democrats if they win at the ap- proaching election to pass still more democratic one by cutting off some, more protection. If this is done there will be repetition of the melancholy scenes of the last eighteen months and a further lowering of wages. It prophecies also that in the event of republican success in 1896 and a re- publican revision of the present law raising all the duties which do not give adequate protection there will be no panic, but an advance in wages and increased employment. The j,anior organ should cut out these prophecies and paste them in its hat. Chicago l Tribune.

TESTS OF BREEDING.
Good Manners Have Their sharpest Test at Home.

at Home.
 Frankness without rudeness, inde- pendence without the least tinge of egotism, sincerity freed from any show of coarseness, promptness of express sion without undue liberty of speech, and the grace and sweetness of atten- tion and sympathy are the nerves of good manners. Lacking these mere physical attractiveness goes for naught; with them a homely face and an un- classic form appear positively beauti- ful. Style tells, and there can be no good style in the absence of good char acter.
 One of the shrewdest things that Emerson ever said was: He that does not fill a place at home, cannot abroad. :" Good manners begin at home and have their sharpest test in the conduct of everyday domestic affairs and in the management of what we are wont to consider tho insignificant circum- stances of private life. It was vulgar old woman who said: "I hain't got no Sundny-go-to-meetin' foolishness about me-" but her remark carried 8 val uable suggestion of what man. ners should be, the same every day in the year. That is to say, the habit of life, not the for mality assumed for an occasion, is the true basis of social conduct, and early youth is the time in which a proper habit of life is to be acquired. What we do from habit we do without sclf-consciousness, easily and with such grace as we have. Good breeding is but the hereditary habit of doing the right thing as Q matter of course. If you have not good breeding the next best thing is sound self-training, not in outward expression alone, but in in- ward taste, aspiration and attitude. For manners are but eXtrinsic badges of intrinsic values. The flower is from the root; the grace of charming con duct is from the p,.ccst wells e right feeling and honest purpose. Be sure that worthy motive and an unselfish attitude of mind are behind your con- duct and you need not dread criticism. Somehow genuine goodness and sym pathetic attention to others cover all of our merely conventional shortcom- ings; provided these shortcomings arc not the result of vulgarity which is in- compatible with ordinary regard for ones station in life.-Angeline Bryce Martin, in Chautauquan.

New Way of Serving Pineapple.

Where the pineapple is very fine and ripe, it may be brought to the table whole; it is pretty dish; and can be served by digging out the eyes, one or two at time, with a cheese scoop or pointed spoon. The sections will be found to run clear to the center, and will split as readily as those of an orange. This method of serving pine- apple is that always used in England for the fine hot-house fruit, which never costs less than half q guinea. Pineapple thus served is eaten by hold ing it in the hand, md dipping the pieces in sugar, in the manner familiaI to us for strawberries.

How to Wave tho HaIr According to tho
 Latest Dictum.
 The fashion of waved hair brings about a new method in the use of the old-fashioncd curling iron. The hair must no longer be crimped, but must be laid over the head in large, natural looking waves. The entire secret lias in the fact that the iron is no longer applied to the tip of the tress of hair, and the hair wound over it, but the tress of hair itself is wound around the iron, beginning as near the scalp as it is comfortable to hold the heated iror. The illustration shows better than words exactly how this is done.
