Tho Deaths Eye Photograph.

There are some physiological an, optical
difficulties in the way of accepting the
story which comes from Jamestown, N
Y, of a murdered woman's eye revealing
the man who killed her. This feat has
long been theory among opticians, but
in spite Of innumerable experiments has
never been verified for the reason that the
image made on the retina is obscured by
rigor mortis, and, in the second place, any
attempt to throw up the small point on
the retina, where the image is made, re-
suits in an enlargement Of the surface
nerves and textures to an obscuring de-
gree. It does not, Of course, follow because
the feat has never been accomplished that
it never will be, but it is we'll to remem-
Der that what the ordinary layman sees on
a dead retina is very apt to be like the
: form that other laymen are continually
seeing on window panes and in the dark
circle. This particular figure was en-
larged 400 times, and any photographer
will tell you that the surface upon which
it appeared had its microscopic texture
also enlarged 400 times.

The effect of the new tariff upon the
local industries in New Hampshire is
tersely described by a correspondent as
"side tracked" The farmers who have
always relied upon potatoes as their
money crop are compelled to sell them
for 80 cents per bushel Many Of the
lumber mills are also idle. In former
years side tracks had been used for un-
loading logs from the Canadian forests
into the water of the Connecticut river,
down which the logs were f1oated hun
dreds Of miles and sawed at the mills
located on it's banks. This season, how
ever no logs have been t1oated down,
hut the side tracks have not been allowed
to rust, because they are used in connec-
ton with the extra trains coming from
Canada that are laden with Canadian
manufactured lumber to supply the
American markets, while the American
lumber mills are either entirely or part
" closed.

A dispatch from Youngstown, o.,
says that Harry Bennell, the iron manu-
facturer, who had returned fx7m ten

spoke of England and how the English
are interested in American politics as
follows:

England, and Cleveland is the best loved

HOUSEWIVES ARE INTERESTED.
They Now Appreciate the Effect of An
Un-American Policy.

They Now Appreciate the Effect of an
Un-American Policy.
One of the sophisms of free trade is
that with reduced tariff one may buy
necessities at lower price than under
a protective tariff If this be true, it
should stand the test of illustration.
Probably no article is in moro common
household use than starch, and for this
reason l may use it for an illustration.
The rate Of duty on starch under the Nc
Kinley law was 2 cents per pound and
was reduced to l u cents per pound by
the present tariff. Converting these rates
to an ad valorem basis, the duty at Q
cents per pound amounted to rate OF
81. 80 and that Of l a cents per pound to
a rate of 63. 2S, or reduction of 81 per
cent. According to theorists like Pro-
fessor Wilson, the price Of starch to the
consumer should have fallen off 81 per
cent, because the free trader says that
reduction in tariff means the same re-
duction in the price Of commodities.
But has the price Of starch dropped
any since the passage Of the German
law? 1t is not necessary for me to tell
housekeepers that it hasn't. The price
of starch last year was 8 cents per pound,
and it is today 8 cents per pound, so
where does the reduction come in? If
there is reduction to the retailer, the
consumer doesn' t benefit by it. So to all
intents and purposes those who buy are
no better off under the German law than
under the Mckinley law. Moreover, un-
der the Mckinley law we manufactured
more than enough starch for our own
use and exported 90, sS7, 9G6 pounds,
worth $727, COS, during tho fiscal year
ending June 80, 1894, and there was
money or wages with which to buy un-
der the Mckinley law that the people
have not under the German law.

Marseilles.
SheBeld-Cutlery.

In his annual report to the department
Of state Consul Bedle Of Sheffield, Eng
land, under date of Oct. II, says that
there has been a falling off Of over 5000,
900 in the declared value Of exports to
the United States from the district Of
Sheffield during the year ending Sept.
80, 1894, as compared with the same
period of 1898. The decrease is chiefly
in steel, $3GS, 900; cutlery, $1S5, 600.
and steel shells, $4,000.
THE volume OF trade has been smaller
than for many years past, if not the
smallest in the history of the consulate,
and is due to the general depression
that has existed, and principally to the
Aesitancy to contract in the face OF pro-
spectlve tariff changes.
With reference to the new tariff law
of the United States he says:
Notwithstanding the fact that the
new act only came into effect on Aug.
%, improvement in tho cutlery trade
Immediately set in, and the exports Of
this line of goods during the quarter
inst ended were the largest since Sept

Bradford-Wooiens.
One Of the largest manufactures here
has orders that will keep it running full
time until the LIST of April, 1895. Every
one of their 800 looms for which they
can find operatives has been put in mo-
tion, and there has been voluntary in
crease Of wages that would amount to
rs cents per week per hand all around.
Other mills have put on the full compile
ment of hands. The merchants in Brad
ford who have laid off their Warehouse
men for the last few months have rein
stated them. The representative Of one
of the largest American firms in Brad
ford in the past fortnight has also made
some of the largest purchases for future
account that have ever been made here,
though the firm has been buying in the
Bradford market for nearly 90 years.
Mexico-Live Stock. Etc.
The effect of the now United States
tariff is being felt in increased trade
with northern Mexico. Large exporta-
tions of dressed hides, mules, horses,
ETC., have been added to the usual OK
ports heretofore made, and the prospect
for large spring business is most cheer
ing Under the operations of the Nc
Kinley law all live stock ceased to be
exported to the United States from Mex
100, the tariff on horses and mules being
$50 each, or from twice to three times
the selling value Of the animals here in
Mexico. The United States tariff
amounted to total prohibition, and
until 30 days ago not live animal of
any description had been exported.

Glasgow.

Large orders are being received by

A BURGLARS CONFESSION.
The Housebreaking Adventure OF . Fuki-

CAPTAIN Charles Evans, chief of the st.
Louis Salvage corps, was talking with q
friend whose house had been entered bv
burglars the night before, ransacked from
cellar to garnet, and the burglars had got
away with lot of plumber without awak-
eping any of the family, says The Post
Dispatch. The man said he could not un-
derstand how they could possibly have got
into his room and taken his watch and
pocketbook from under his pillow without
his being awakened, and yet he knew he
was not chloroformed.

HOW TO REPAIR A SHIRT.
Directions by Which This Dreaded Task
Becomes q Comparatively Easy One.

Becomes q Comparatively Easy One.
There are few more depressing sights
than half dozen shirts with worn bos
oms, rough collar bands and frayed
wristbands, but perfectly whole muslin
bodies and sleeves. The muslin part be-
ing good means to the economical
housewife the task Of replacing the old
bosoms with new ones and thereby saving
at least ono-half tho value of a new shirt.
A writer who has had experience in this
matter Of shirt repairing tells her plan
in Harper's Bazaar. She says:
The shirts were washed for the pur-
pose Of removing every vestige Of starch,
then ironed smooth. A different course
was followed with each one, according
to it's need of repairs. If the neckband
was worn beyond repair, it was ripped
off and pattern taken from it. This
was very careful piece Of work, for al
most everything depends upon the size
and shape Of the neckband.
Then, instead Of removing the old
bosom, which was entirely 81 hole around
its outer edge, there was cut shield
shaped piece of linen to reach down as
low as the vest opening and correspond
ingly wide, the curve at the neck being
carefully followed, allowance being
made for the plat in front. This was
laid over the old bosom, copying the
plait by pressing the new linen under
folds of the old plat. After basting, the
whole thing was stitched with exceed
ing nicely. Here was a new bosom and
not one-quarter the time or the material
consumed as in the old way.
In case the buttonholes of the neck
band were whole and the band simply
worn at its edge, it was loosened only in
front, where, the new linen Of the bosom
was to be placed, then restitched and
its upper edge bound with a fine linen
tape.
Wristbands in the same condition
were smoothly trimmed off and similar
~ treated, except that very much wider
braid was used, which, instead Of fol-
lowing the rounded ends, was finished
off straight, a gener Gus turn in being al
lowed, so as to make the corners sufti-
GENTLY thick. Where new wristbands
are needed it is better to cut off the old
ones. thus affording fresh place for the
gathers. Muslin was used for both neck
and wrist band. The back yokes were
strengthened by a narrow tape stitched.
