1T fell over on the first step and went
spat, spat down the whole flight, and
the outside of it came right in two,
and funny yellow kind of stuff ran
out in a little stream all down the
nice clean steps.
Pippo had not had any idea such
thing as this was going to happen,
and he hurried down the steps to
run and hide, but just at the foot he
met his mother, who asked him in
dog language what he had been doing;
and he told her he had ben trying to
help. the farmers wife, and she saw
the broken egg and asked him If he
did that; so he told her all about 1t,
for he had found it was better to tell
his mother everything.
| She told him to come home with
her, and when they got to the kennel
she talked to him a long time, all in
dog language; it sounded like this:
"Bow WOW, WOW, r, r, r, RI, IF, rf,
yap, yap, yap," but when translated
it meant: "You are a kind little dog
to want to help the farmers wife,
but you see you are not old enough
yet to understand about everything,
and it would be better to ask your
rather or me, De1Ore you 90 anything
like that, besides, you have no right
to take the old grey hens eggs while
she is gone; do not take any more,
but wait awhile, and see what will
happen"
Just then the farmers wife opened
the door and saw the spilled. egg.
l'tMy goodnessv' said she, "what a
nasty mess on the front steps. I won-
der how it came here" She got a
lbroom and some water and scrubbed
lit all off, and never found out how
it came there, for Pippo could not
tell her.
And Pippo waited. as his mother
lhad told him to, to see what would
happen, and did not disturb the old
grey hen, and Dell never told what
was going on under his manger, and
one day while Pippo sat in front OF
the kennel in the sunshine, right Out
of the stable door stalked the old grey
hen, clucking loudly, just like the
lfussy old thing she was, and al
around her. cheeping at the top. Of
their voices, were eleven little yellow
chicks, and the old hen could. moi
count, SO she never knew that there
ought to have been twelve.

MAMMALS HAN'KER,

Our dear little Helen. not three years
old,
More precious to US than her weight
in gold.
Had always slept In her mothers
On her own little bed by the larger
one.
There, tired with play, fast asleep she
would lie,
Mamie and Julie and Anna close by;
Those dear, precious dolls and nurseB
kept
The little one company while she slept.
But mamma was ill. and the child
one night
Was carried away from her mothers
sight
Poor, little, grieved darling! She
sobbed and cried.
Nor with dolls or book could be pac-
flied.
All at once a bright thought entered
her head
'Pease, Damma, dear, mamma s
banker" she said,
HTo wipe my tearsv' Grandma speed
lily went
And brought the banker to the child's
content.
And every night, while mamma was
ill.
For comfort she clung to the banker
still;
Mer favorite dolls on her pillow might
rest,
But mammals banker was hugged
to her breast.
I slasped the child in q loving en-
brace,
And kissed very fondly the upturned
face;
The tears were all gone-she smiled
and I thought,
What a magical change the banker
had wrought
Ny own eyes were dim. and the tears
would come,
Ny thoughts went back to my child
hoods home;
And I heartily wished-for all my
years
Tor my mammals banker to wipe my

TAXATION OF CHURCH PROP.
ERTY

We believe that all church property
to exceed the value of 81 LOCO should be
taxed just as other property. Almost
every community Is now unduly taxed
by the too numerous church buildings
IL taxing church property does away
with some Of the church buildings in
5ach community, there will be devel-
oped a more tolerant and religious
spirit for men and women with but an
Utmost imperceptible shade of diver
snce in religious beliefs will be drawn
,loser together and worship God in
true holiness, and much of the petty
jealousy and enmity now existing will
be done away. Let us build hospitals
where they are SO badly needed and do
AWAY with superfuous churches. Real
religion is practical, and practical out
side of church buildings in deeds of
love. While we maintain that all men
should be allowed to worship God ac-
cording to the dictates of conscience
so long as such dictates interferes
not with the business or liberties of
others, we do advocate the taxation of
valuable church property, and would
tall the attention of the present legis-
-ature to this matter. We do most
heartily endorse this part of Gov.
Lords message. "Where one class of
property is taxed and another to anv
large extent allowed to escape. the bur-
lens of government are not equally
shared" 1t may be said of Japan that
she thoroughly understands her own
affairs, and resents interference. She
has shown herself capable of chastis-
ing and debating terms Of peace to a
mighty empire. Why then should she
ask help from a nation which like
america, has shown herself incapable
OF harmomzing her own discordant
elements, chief of which is the clash
between labor and capital? When
America has swept her own doorstep
then Will it seem more consistent for
her statesmen to offer to arbitrate and
egislate foE other nations. Perhaps
Japan has not forgotten the strained
-elatioTl that once existed between her
self and America, when the latter COB
oled up Japanese shekels without value
given. .s.'

What a Well-dressed Man Wears
Hints to Our Male Society Buds.
A man in his salad days is apt to
pay much attention to his clothes, In
deed it is one evidence Of the approach
of the tender passion. In later years
that fatal indifference that steals upon
us unawares is sure to invade even the
sacred domain OF the tailor and halter
with disastrous results. A bachelor
may grow more finical in taste as time
slips away, but a married man is
doomed; some even becoming SO de-
praved as ito let their wives select their
neckties.
While Salem is not subject to the
same fluctuations i'm styles that obtain
in our large cities yet the innate love
of the beautiful THAT impels a man to
gaze into every inch of mirror he sees,
may make few suggestions timely
in regard to what a well-dressed man
should wear.
For morning wear the coat is con-
fined to the sack or cutaway. A Der
by or soft hat should be worn with the
former, a silk one being permissible
with THE latter. The accepted after
noon dress is always a Prince Albert
frock coat. This is full dress for amy
social function that occurs before din
ner. Trousers should be inconspicuous
at all time, checked ones being a relic
of barbarism.
A dress suit is never correct for any
occasion whatever before dinner. 1t
should be worn to formal dinners and
for other evening entertainments at
discretion. incidentally. the cut of the
dress coat is longer than formerly, in
dead there seems to be tendency to
iengthen all coats, while trousers are
made full at tbs top and smaller at the
bottom in pegetop style. A mans linen
should be severely simple, not too
highly polished, and above suspicion in
its purity. He should avoid embroid-
red and fancy styles in shirts. Collars
and cuffs should be made on the shirt
and pearl studs are in better taste than
diamonds.
While the artistic nature of the we'll
dressed man Is largely shown in his
linen, the tie should be the piece de
resistance, the finishing touch to a
work of art. The four-in-hand scarf
is the most approved. When in black
it should have some pattern in it.
Perhaps there is nothing so abused as
to time Of wearing as the white tie
Like the dress coat 1t should not be
donned before dinner. Even in the
dog days, delicate pink, blue and law
ender linen ones are better form.
To that rash mortal who would wear
ready-made tie, one word of advice
is given: Don't"
If the fin-de-siccle youth would be
very English let him wear his watch
,hain attached to a trousers button
leading down to the right trousers
pocket where the watch is kept.

the roar of the wLter was heard thun-

Coal Production OF the World.

According to the latest reports upon the
coal industry, England is the largest pro
ducer in the world, her output during 1894
having been 1873, 277, $50 tons. This was
mined by 705, 244 persons. The United
States comes second in the list with 1854, :
600, 600 tons. Germany produced during
the same year about $4,000, 900 tons, ex-
elusive of Ignite. The other coal produc-
ing countries mined practically the same
amount from year to year, as follows:
Austria Hungary, 10, ZOO, 600 tons; France
and Russia, 6, $50 600 tons each; Austral-
asia, 1000, 900; Japan, $3.50, 900; Nova
Scotia, 2,25O, 900; Spain, 1900, 900; Brit
ish Columbia, 100000; Italy, 800, 600;
Sweden, 300, 900. The consumption of coal
per head OF population is lowest in Austria,
where 1t is only one-sixth ton per annum,
and highest In Great Britain, where each
person averages $40 tons each year. In
the United States the average is 2A tons a
yoar.-London Exchange.

A Goldbug and Favors Either Reed OF
Mckinley For President.
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania has made
public his views on three important mat
ters-free silver, his preference for the Re-
publican nomination for president and his
attitude on Camerons candidacy. In an
open letter to James l.. Smith, chairman
of the Republican committee at Williams
port, Pa, hesays:
I have your letter OF the llth inst, and in
reply to the queries therein submitted desire
to say:
First.-I am in favor of the nomination Of
either Reed or Mckinley for president which
ever of the two seems most available when
the national convention assemblies.
Second.-I am personal friend Of Senator
Cameron, and our official relations are most
agreeable. He has never intimated to me his
desire for reelection, and 1t would certainly
be most discourteous in me to declare either
for or against my colleague in the absence Of
his pronounced candidacy, which can in no.
wise be affected by the pending controversy.
OF his attitude toward me / am not informed,
but am told he is somewhere In New Eng
land and not interested in my canvass.
Third am not in favor Of the free coinage
Of silver at the ratio of 10 to I.
take it for granted that letter similar to
that sent me has been forwarded to the mem
bers Of the combine against Hastings, Martin.
Warwick Gill,eson and Magee. and trust you
will publish their replies. / make public this
correspondence tomorrow. Yours very truly,
MATT s. QUAY.
Asked whom he thought the Democrats
will nominate for president, the senator
promptly replied:
Cleveland and he is dangerous man

Paper Bicycle Rims.

Paper rims will be put into bicycles
next season. First 1t was steel, then wood
and now paper. Not tissue paper, TO be
sure, but paper nevertheless, and the
change Is to secure what seems to bo up
permost In the minds OF all the bicycle
manufacturers just now-lightness in
construction.
And the substitution Of paper for wood
will not, 1t Is claimed, sacrifice particle
Of the strength Of the wheel. On the con-
trary the paper, after undergoing the proc
ess through which 1t is put, has oil the
strength and life and elasticity of wood
when used In rims.
Furthermore, 1t escapes that joint which
Is necessary In wooden rims and deprives
them OF some Of their strength and cuts
of also from to / a pounds of the weight
OF each machine. Paper is used In the
manufacture of car wheels. Why not in
the manufacture of bicycle rims?-Chicago

swEATsHOP HORRORS,
Some Statistics Recently Published Through
Miss Isabel Eaton's Investigations.


A study of tho receipts and expenditures
of garment makers In Chicago and New
York city by Miss Isabel Eaton, which ap-
peared as one of the chapters In Hull
House Maps and Papers, is now pub
llshed In more complete form by the
American Statistical association. 1t Is an
excellent example Of the statistical work
done by residents at tho social settlements.
The Investigation was undertaken by Miss
Eaton as a fellow Of the College Settle
ment association.
The figures show an almost incredible
state of affairs existing In the garment
making trades. In New York the average
weekly wages in ordinary times range
from nearly Sl2 TO s7.2l, and the work
men arc employed only seven or eight
months In the year. In Chicago the men
receive slightly better pay than in New
York, but much OF the work Is done by
women and children for almost nothing.
The average yearly incomes of garment
makers In Chicago range from something
more than $400 to about S12e. Makers of
boys knickerbockcrs receive only Is cents
a dozen pairs and tho finishers only cents
n dozen pairs. The average days work In
the clothing trades seems to be about ii
hours and In many cases Is much longer.
The garment makers work long hours In
the sweatshops for starvation wages and
pay high rents for rooms in insanitary
tenements.
The danger Of contagion from goods
made in the sweatshops Is shown to be
very great and in very inadequately
guarded against. The danger extends to
the most deadly forms of disease and Is as
great for expensive custom made clothing
as for any other kind. The sweatshops are
therefore menace to the whole commu-
nifty.
Buyers of clothing should demand to
know under what conditions the goods
they purchase were made. The abolition
Of the sweating system Is reform In
which the consumers are very directly in
terested. d.-Chicago Record
