FIstonIc friendships Between Married
Men and inexperienced Girls.

PIatonic friendships Between Married
Men and inexperienced Girls.
The greatest of dangers, think, lies
in the belief of the possibility of Pla-
tonic friendship with a married man,
writes lady in Ladies' Home Journal.
A number of letters have come to me
written by unhappy girls who, having
been thrown. either through business or
in a social way, with fascinating men,
have yielded to the attraction, believed
in the possibility of such a friendship,
only to discover that what was talked
of as friendship was in reality love.
Nothing excuses you, my dear girl, for
loving a man whose heart, mind and
body belong to another woman. 1t is
true that too often these undesirable
friendships begin in the most innocent
way, but the very minute that you find
that this man is becoming necessity
to your happiness you must stop, and
at once. The old story is told by the
man, the oft-told story of an unsympa-
thctic wife-a wife that is not compan-
-ionable, a wife given over to domestic
affairs-with, as a natural sequence,
the oft-told story that you bring little
life into his life, that You make little
happiness. and that you are the only
woman who ever thoroughly under
stood him. This is such an old story,
and yet it is one to which too many
women listen. My dear girl. look the
matter straight in the face No matter
how bad mans wife may be, no mat
ter how he may long for companion
ship, you are doing an absolute wrong
by even listening to his story.

Important Invention in Weaving.

One of those inventions which will
inevitably displace a large amount of
labor because of its increased economy
has recently found its way into textile
manufacturing. 1t is loom which au-
tomatically feeds bobbins into the
shuttle. This work hitherto has been
one of the duties of the weaver. Now
five persons can take care of eighty of
these looms, whereas, at present, one
person looks after six. The new
process will run for an hour or two
after every one has left the factory at
night and through the noon hour. 1t
is said that it will save one-half the Ia
Dor cost in weaving and one-fourth the
whole labor cost of manufacturing.

Hats to Be Made from Logs.

A Connecticut man has patented q
machine for making hats out of wood
A log of wood, cut square, fed to the
machine, is converted into fine strips OF
wood much resembling excelsior. 1t is
claimed that when these are moistened
they can be woven much more readily
than straw, and make durable hat.
The inventor says the substance is
lighter in weight than straw, and that
because of its easier manipulation and
lower cost it will supersede tho straw
now used for headgear.

Valuable Comparison.

On the subject of the smallness OF
the customs receipts under the German
tariff law, it is interesting to eompare
its operations with that Of the McKin-
ley law While the friends of the Cor
man law were pretty confident that 1t
would produce an income far greater
than did the Mckinley law, they wsrs
cock sure" that in the matter of Gus
toms receipts, at least it would COM
pletely overshadow the republican
tariff, which they so roundly berated.
Here is what the customs collections
were under the two laws in their first
ten months:

ATTITUDE OF CLEVELAND.
The Presidents Intentions Regarding
Third Term.

Secretary Carlisle has made public
the fact that he does not know whether
Mr.. Cleveland is beguiling himself
with dreams of third term or not.
"As closely as l am to the president"
he says, me has never referred to that
subject in my presence"
This piece of information proves that
Mr.. Cleveland has not yet made up his
mind, or that he does not choose to
make confidant of his treasury clerk.
At any rate, it is clear that the evil
genius of the democracy has not been
able TO decide not to take another NOM
nation if he can get it. When he does.
finally conclude to. let the country
struggle along without his hand on the
rudder there is every reason why he
should make his determination known
and none why he should conceal it in
the recesses of his own breast. There
is reason to believe that were the cleo
ton TO be held this fall, even the presi-
dents love of office and sense of his
own Importance would not so blind
him to probabilities as to induce him
TO become a candidate. But many
things may happen in a year and Mr..
Cleveland is no doubt lying as low as
he can in the hope that something IA
vorable To him may occur.
OF course, no sensible person be-
lieves that Grover Cleveland, even if it
were not for the record of faulty and
disaster which he and his party have
managed to make between them,
stands the shadow of chance of ever
being elected again to the presidency.
But Mr.. Cleveland has given abundant
evidence that he is not sensible per-
son in matters concerning his relation
to the rest of the population of the
United States, and it is evident that he
is willing to make the trial should the
party to which he says he belongs be-
come sufficiently deodorized to afford
him any encouragement
Meantime, the unhappy. Carlisle has
no doubt before this received the Gus
romary rebuke from his chief for dar-
ing to say anything at all. Indeed, it
is already given out at the treasury de-
partment that the secretary is very
much provoked" that his remarks
should have found their way into print,
though he made them to an editor
and might have suspected that he was
being interviewed But the poor man
has been so pestered by the reprehen-
sible conduct of the national finances
Since he became their guardian that
it is no wonder that he is occasionally
absent-minded.-A Journal

As our readers know, the Sscal year
of the United States government ends
on June 30. OF the fiscal year just
closed ten months were under the new
democratic tariff law. Everyone re-
members that the argument was dinned
into the farmers ears that a low tariff,
''the breaking down of the Chinese wall
of protection" would enormously in
crease our export trade, on the theory
that other people would not buy OF as
unless we bought of them. Well, the
cold, hard facts don't prove this-nOt
by good deal The monthly abstract
OF the bureau OF statistics of the treas
ury department gives the total OF our
exports for the fiscal year. and COM
parison with that of the previous ;5esr
is very interesting. Here it is:

under the democratic tariff, than we
did in the previous year under the
Mckinley tariff Here is fact-not
a theory-for the American farmers TO
study
But how about our imports? When
we import any article of the same kind
as is manufactured here. we reduce the
market for American labor in just that
degree. Let US see what the democrat
ic tariff law has done for labor, by d
comparison OF imports for the same

II is lie, still told 6y some conscien-
tiousless democratic free traders, that
the free list is extended by the demo-
cratic tariff law, and that the increase
in our imports is because so many more
goods came in free. But the official fig
ures don't show this. Here they are:

We thus see that last year we i'm

Thus another trade falsehood is ex-
posed. The increase in imports was
