In one ot his speeches Mr. Me Kinley, in advocating a high tariff, said: Better a thousand times en- large the makets for American pro- ducts than to enlarge the hints for the silver product of the world
 Commenting on the above the New Orleans Daily .States, says: This sentiment was Justify applauded by the farmers he was addressing. And yet when analysed is the most sophistical of arguments. Everyone knows that the creation of such tariff is the building of a Chinese wall around this country and operates precisely the reverse of enlarging it's markets. The com merce of countries must be recipro- cal; ships to be run successfully must be freighted each way. An oblect-lesson on this subject was afforded some years ago when the Mckinley tariff was in operation. A merchant in New York, or some

Why ENGLAND is GREAT.

Naval Superiority.

A Native Offers an Observation-Disclosures
Naval Superiority.
How was it that half an island over
which Queen Elizabeth ruled developed
into the worldwide empire over which
Queen Victoria reigns? First and fore
most, says Blackwood's Magazine, it
must be referred to the qualities of the
race, their energy and adventurous
spirit, their capacity to COLOMBO, to rule
subject races, and to administer their
affairs. That race was sprung Of sue
cessive seafaring invoders of these is
lands who were trained for generations
in the arduous defense of these shores,
and taught to achieve naval superior
ity as a necessity of their position.
As early as Edward III. the sover.
eighty of the narrow seas was asserted.
and conceded as matter of course by
the people of the low countries. As
centuries rolled on, the insularity Of
our position became more marked as
our possessions in Europe dwindled
away. The drill sergeant. who is the
artifcer of German fortunes. has had
no ascendency in these islands, whose
preOccupations have not risen from mil
itary empires on their boundaries. Naval
superiority has been the guarantee of
our shores, and at the same time the
foundation of an empire which has
grown up beyond the seas. The same
qualities which achieved ordered liberty
at home spread commerce. settlements
and empires abroad.

PlcTuRINa 4 SEA rlGr

How instantaneous Photo graphy Figure.
In the Modern Painters Art
Instantaneous photography has made
ii easy to-day for men with little knowl-
edge of seamanship to place ships anG
boats under sail in a picture, but in
early days. says Temple Bar, the power
of doing so correctly was limited to a
few men like Stanfield and Capt. Beechy,
R.N.
The difficulty of obtaining anything
like reliable description of a sea fight,
even from those who had taken part in
it, was, according to Stanheld. very
great, and he told us how, when plan
ming his picture of "The Battle of Ira
falgar," he applied to Capt. Hardy for
advice as to the position of the Victory,
Hardy's answer being that, owing to
the smoke. it was impossible dl ng
the height of the action to see beyond
the ships alongside, adding: 81 am
about the worst man you could come to.
for some time before that which your
picture represents the Victory's tiller
ropes had been shot away, and was be-
low in the steerage attending to them
and the helm, and down there we knew
so little of what was going or that we
continued to load and fire of her
stern guns until ordered from the deck
to stop because we were firing into one
of our own ships"
Like Loutherbourg, Stanfield had
been at sea as young man, while both
owed much of their facility and power
of composing a subject to their early
training in the scene loft. But think
Loutherbourg greatly surpassed Stan
field as draughtsman and in knowl.
edge of naval architecture.

KISSING OF HANDS TABooED.
Hygienic Reasons Lead to Abandonment
OF an Austrian Custom.

Hygienic Reasons Lead to Abandonment
OF an Austrian Custom.
1t has hitherto, says the New Orleans
Picayune, been the custom of the chill
dren attending the public schools in
Austria and Hungary TO kiss the hands
Of the teacher on arrival and departure.
This has now been forbidden by an
order from the imperial board of edu-
cation, which bases its action on the
fact that sanitary investigation has
shown that kissing is unhealthful and
should not be practiced, except when
absolutely necessary. This brings up
a very nice point of law to establish
when kissing is absolutely necessary.
If the public school teachers of Aus
tria and Hungary are old and ugly it
is likely that the scholars will acquiesce
in the new ruling without a murmur.
If, on the other hand, the schoolmarms
are pretty young women, like most of
the New Orleans teachers, then the big
boys in Austrian schools may keep up
the good old custom of kissing the
teacher, and plead that it was case
when kissing was absolutely necessary.
Science is going too far, anyway, when
it finds microbes in kisses and tries
to establish a quarantine against them.
Kissing goes by favor, and not by law.
When the lisser is in love and the llissee
IS pretty, it is always a case of abso-
lutte necessity, not amenable to Austrian
or any other kind of laws.

But in order to do this the wife must
have been enrolled in the union as an APP

by the rules of the union, must appear
in Vienna in the presence of judges Of
the union and show their skill before
they are allowed to open shops of their

A properly certified barber must have
a knowledge of and pass an examination
in shaving, hair-cutting. hair-curling
and wig-mal,ing. and during the period
before the issuance of a certificate the
poor and others who are frugal serve
as subjects for experiment.
At the examination the young ilen
have their razors dulled by four strokes
in pine plank. and they must then

the portion under the instep hollow
and well raised above the level of the

statues, the second toe was made longer
than the great toe. The beauty of the
longer second toe is disputed.
1t is true that small feet are consid-

but they certainly do not indicate su-

women of supreme intelligence have had

The Sunday Question as Solved by Maine
Farmer.
A case of unusual strictness in Sab
bath observance is reported from West
Auburn, Me. a farmer was waited on
by one of his neighbors who asked for
the loan of his team the following Sun
day to take his wife and children to
the cemetery. At first he fatty refused
to let the team, arguing that it would
be sin to receive money for such II
thing on the Sabbath day, but he final
ly said to the neighbor that he would
think it over and let him know Satur-
day, remarking that he would pray
over it in the meantime. Saturday the
neighbor called and the farmer said
that he pondered and prayed over the
matter and come to the conclusion that
it would lie no harm to let the team.
but that the neighbor must not pay for
it until some weel, day following. So
the neighbor hired the team to 20 to
the cemetery on Sunday, paying for it
on Monday, and everything was salts
