The Women of Ushant.

In character the headdress is more
Italian than Breton. The Golf is small
and square-shaped, with a wide flap
hanging down behind, and it is white
when the weare considers herself
dressed and not in mourning. Bright
colors, chiefly scarlet and blue, are
often introduced at the side of the
head, especially in the case of chill
dren. But the strong s%ingularity of
the couture is the manner in which
the hair is worn. It hangs loose upon
the back of the neck to the length of
six or eight inches.
The first impression the women
make is that they are recovering from
a fever and a cropping. Their hair is
generally, lank and wir!y, like a horses
name, and very dark. It is rare to see
it really gray, even on the head Of a
locks are often without a silver thread,
although the face of the wearer may
be as furrowe6 as o block OF sea-worm
granite. Baby girls. young women,
and old women have their heads
dressed in exactly the same way.
After her swaddling wraps, the child
is given the style of Golf and other
clothing that she will keep through
in front of the cottage door, she is one
of the oldest of little figures.
In full dress the gown is always
black, but a brilliantly colored hand
kerchief, in which scarlet predomin-
ates, is SO worn underneath as to show
q little down the front Of the bodice.
A small shawl, generally blue or red
in the case of children and young
girls, completes the costume.-Temple

Study for a LAWYER.

A lawyer met me yesterday and said.

man is charged with the theft Of 500.
He says he is innocent. l believe him
guilty. He says he lost the money while
on the way to the bank. I think that
is a lie."
"What are you going to do about it?''
~ am going to test every available
means to prove his guilt or innocence.
It will either save or ruin his financial
honor. His character for honesty and
integrity, and practically his future life,
will be determined by an advertisement
which I have prepared. Do you want
to read 1t? Here it is:
"a young man on his way to the bank
lost 500, either on the afternoon Of
Dec. 1 or the morning Of the I'd. Money
lost on Griswold street, near Fort. The
young man has been arrested, charged
with theft. Finder may keep money

if he or she will communicate With

Russian Barley Coming In.

If u farmers will look into the re-
ports of the Treasury Department they
will find that Russia is now importing
barley quite largely into the United
States. This was made possible by the
reduction of duties in the grain sched-
ule under the Wilson law, now opera
tive. 1t does not appear that prices
have been materially lowered by these
imports, therefore no resulting bene-
fits are as yet enjoyed by the purchas-
ers of the foreign article; but it does
appear that the growers of barley in
the United States are materially hurt
In that the home market for the home
product is taken from the home pro-
ducer by the foreign producer to a more
or less injurious extent.
1t may be contended by free traders
that expected benefits to users of bar
ley will come after awhile, when the
market price breaks under excessive
supply through importations from Eu-
rope. The inquiry then would be
whether the American grower would
continue to produce barley at European
prices. There would probably be a
general cessation of production of this
cereal, and the second inquiry would
present itself, viz: how long after the
destruction of the American producer
would it be before Europe, having
possession of the American market,
would advance prices to suit her own
views? What would become of the
American users interest in the hands
of the European producer? Nothing
but a return to protective duties could
reinstate the equilibrium then SO seri-
ously disturbed.
Our grain growers, we fear, have two
more years of severe trial ahead. The
question of how to meet them should
be most carefully weighed by every
farmer in the country.

Individual Wealth.
The New York Weekly World of
March q, 1894, claimed that the In
creased per capita in wealth in the
United States rose $591 in 1850 to 1903
in 1860, an increase in ten years of $4O2.
But in the subsequent thirty years It
increased only Sc to 5000 per capita.
WILLIAM L. PACKARD.
Wilmington, VT.
The foregoing statement is not cor
rect. The per capita of wealth in the
United States was only $514 in the year
1860, and not 1903. 1t was less in 1860
than the writer claimed it to be ten
years earlier-in 1850. In the subse.
quent years it has increased to $514 in
1860; to $3.50 in 1870; to $50 in 1880,
and to $1,O3S in 1890. These figures are
taken from the various census reports,
and they show that the wealth, per
capita, of the United States has more
than doubled itself during the thirty
years between 1860 and 1890, increasing
from $514 to $1,O3s per capita, a gain
Of 1924 per capita. So much for the
liar of The World.

Less Wool Used and Produced.

The December bulletin of the Nation
al Association of Wool Manufacturers
contains its annual estimate of the
wool clip of the United States for the
year 1894, which shows a decrease of
233.3327,426 pounds in this years clip of
fleece and pull wool, as compared with
tie clip of 1898. OF secured wool there
was also a decrease of 1O,S11,5OS
pounds. Undoubtedly there will be u
inucl larger falling off shown in the
clip for 1895, owing to the wholesale
slaughter of sheep that has been taking
place during the last six months. As
far as the WOODEN manufacturing trade
is concerned, the total supply of Amer

ending June 30, 1894, was 11S,S32,Sn

NO WORK FOR LABOR.
Mr.. CARLISLE WOULD L,eHrEN
ITS BURDEN.
In Plain Words the Leading Discip1e
esGrovcrism Desires that American
Labor Should Take a Rest-A Demo.
cratic Journal Speaks the Truth.
John Cts Plan.

JOAA 0s'o f1Qus
While President Cleveland was very
timid in his references to the tariff ana
tariff reform, or free trade, in his last
message to Congress, his Secretary of
the Treasury, Hon. j. G. Carlisle,
obbed up as a semi-apologist, and his
remarks, coming as they do from a
leading disciple, are interesting. He
said:
1.-THE raw materials used in the pro-
duction of commodities for the use of
the people in their homes and in their
various industrial pursuits should be
L e from taxation, in order that the
burdens of labor may be l%ightened."
MIR. Carlisle is extremely frank and
honest, much more so, in fact, than the
gentleman who sits ut the head of the
cabinet meetings. Mr.. Carlisle be-
lieves that raw material should be free
from taxation; SO do many other free
traders, but they do not study the rea-
son why raw material should be free
with anything like the f%rankness of
the Secretary of the Treasury. who
gives the reason 'in order that the bur-
dens of labor maybe l%ightened."
Of course. when our raw materials
are free from taxation and are free
from Il tariff duty, they will be import
ed from foreign countries. where labor
costs next to nothing, being brought
over here in most instances as ballast,
free of freight charges. ''The burdens
of labor" may be lightened i'll this
trs' under such circumstances, and ev-
cry dollars worth of raw material
that we get from abroad must mean so
much less raw material supplied in this
country. unless American wage earners
consent to take the miserable pittance
that is paid to the men and the women
who work in the European mines Or
to work longer hours for the same
money that they are now receiving.
But in this case ''the burdens of labor
would not be "lightcned." They would
be intensified. So that it is clearly not
the intention of Secretary Carlisle that
American raw material should be used
in making American goods. He wants
to import raw material from abroad
sin order that the burdens of labor may
be lightcned" by affording less employ
ment for labor in this country. In
other words, lie desires that American
labor should take a rest.
