A bank account is a great con-

it enables him to make his payments
by check. A savings bank allows in

months, but will not allow the de-

WHAT is POLiTENESS.
Constant ThoughtfuIness for the Pleasure
of Others.

of Others.
To avail much politeness must be a
habit, not an occasional mood. Like
full dress it really shows to disadvan-
tage if not worn with the air of having
been born in it. We must wear it at
home or we shall not find it fitting Us
well in the house OF our neighbor.
/ have a charming friend who in
sists that politeness is but the highest
order of selfishness-thatt the desire to
be thought well of by all good people,
nay by all people good or bad, is at
the bottom of it. We need not accept
this theory; but, after all, il is worth
while to have everybody feel that we
wish to make our presence a comfort
and not au embarrassment.
Mere elegance of manners mere cor
rectness in following conventional
rules, mere accuracy of department as
regards physical bearing, and mere ia
cility in gliding through the intrica-
cies of formal social gymnastics are
doubtless Important attainments; but
politeness may not be reached by them.
You must be constantly thoughtful of
what will please others-you must find
your own happiness in making each
person happy that you meet. You
must be a storage battery of cheerful
and engaging influences, an optimist,
a prophet of good, as well as person
of easy and polished bearing. l have
met very courtly people who were ex-
ceedingly impolite; they forgot to over
look the discourtesy of others -Ange-
line Bryce Martin, in Chautauquan.

a MINERS FALSE TIP.
All.

One day, while gang Of miners
were toiling in gulch near Shasta,
Cal, stranger, evidently ignorant of
mining, came along. The miner near
him took out five-dollar nugget, and
anxiety overcame the strangers re-
ticencc.
Say" he asked, ''where can / go to
diggin' TO find it like that?"
The hardy miner stopped his work,
and, giving the wink to all the boys,
pointed up to the barren rocks where
no gold had ever been found.
You see that rough-looking placer"
Yes" said the new hand.
well, thar il is rich. Jes' you stake
out claim an go to work, an when
we finish here we'll come up, too
The new hand thanked the miner,
and the boys all grinned their appre-
citation of the joke. That afternoon a
solitary figure was seen picking on the
rocky hillside, and every time the
miners looked up they roared with
laughter. But the next day the new
miner struck a pocket, and took out
several thousands of dollars in gold.
Then he came and thanked the miner
who had sent him up there, and went
down to the city and bought houses
and lots and things, while the other
miners dotted that same rocky hillside
for days without finding a pocket

PLAIN OF Pretty.

The great burning question of the
hour IS: Has the pretty girl become a

pretty.
The Paris belle who recently poisoned
her husband is spoken of in ne panaru
as very pretty.
The Berlin bride who became stage
struck and joined a travelling theat
rical company looked decidedly pretty.
The New York maiden who drowned
herself because her young man could
only be a brother" TO her was exceed
ingly pretty.

Gastronomic Nestness.

There is not enough attention given
by some to cleanliness in cooking and
preparing foods. Cooking is dainty
art, and calls for the utmost neatness.
Spinach is a wholesome and appetizing
vegetable; stewed, minced and served
with hard eggs, it is pretty to look at
aud good to eat, but SO very many
cooks serve it unwashed that people
are shy of it. The same carelessness
has brought garden lettuce and water
crosses under suspicion. Some of the
very best hostesses allow speckled APP
piles and oranges to go on the table. In
the orange skin these russell and black
speclks are the shells of minute insects,
and the only way to get them off is to
use stiff vegetable brush. Drop the
fruit in cold water; brush it piece by
piece until it is clean. and keep in
cool place. Green grapes are woody
with sawdust, and require cold bath
just before going to the table.-St
Louis Republic.

DAMAGING TO FARMERS.


How the Wilson Bill VIII Operate on
American Producers.
The trainers of the Wilson bill put
agricultural implements on the free
list The American manufacturers
called the attention of the senate COM
mittee to the fact that the only real
competitor of the United States in the
manufacture OF those articles was Can
ada. and that while il was proposed to
admit Canadian implements duty free
the dominion imposed on such articles
made in this country duty which was
SO high as to be prob bitory. They
asked therefore that the present duties
on imported agricultural implements
should be retained against Canada
The justice of this is apparent, and
for some reason the finance committee
yielded to the demand and prepared the
proper amendment. But it refused to
go farther in this direction by applying
the same principle to other articles
The Wilson bill places eggs, cabbages
and some other products of the farm on
the free list. Canada imposes duty
on such articles Therefore, the Cana
dian farmer under the Wilson bill can
send his products free across the boun-
dairy line. The Vermont or New York
farmer cannot send his into Canada
without paying duty on them. The
senate committee refuses so to amend
the bill as to retain the old duties where
the Canadians collect duties
While the Wilson bill places on the
free list some Canadian products, il
lowers greatly the duties on others, but
does not call for concessions in return.
For instance the present duty on
horses, of which a large number used
to be imported from Canada. is $50 per
head. The pending tariff bill changes
the duty to 90 per cent. ad valorem. If
a horse is worth $50 it has to pay now
$50 duty. Under the Wilson bill it
would have to pay sl2, or go per cent
less. This is the way in which duties
which protect the farmer are to be re-
duced by populists and democrats, who
claim that they are the special friends
of the farmer.
The duty on hay is to be cut down
one-half aud that on potatoes three
fifths. The duty on flour is to be re-
duced, though the present Canadian
duty is so high that there is no market
for any American -four in the domin-
ion. In few instances the senate
amend ments are better than the origin
al bill. One of them imposes slightly
heavier duty on barley than it did and
another takes apples off the free list
but imposes a smaller duty than the
Mckinley law. Yet even if the bill
were to pass with those amendments
the Canadian duties would be higher
than the American ones
The entire agricultural schedule of
the Wilson bill shows how little its
trainers care Tor the interests of the
farmer on this side of the ST. Law
renee, while they are willing to do all
in their power for the farmer on the
