ATTORNEY NYE IN A PULPIT.
He Speaks on acknowledgement
NSS's of the Mill
City.

From the standpoint of a manufacturer, C..
A. Pillsbury addressed the workingmen Of
the city yesterday at Union hall, sos Henne-
pin avenue, on the subject of reciprocity.
Mr.. Pillsbury first explained what reciproc-
ity was. Mr.. Pillsbury thought a protective
tariff was necessary for the United States
on account of the low wages of other coun-
tries. In the Northwest however there are
few industries which are affected by the
tariff. This section exports -four and the
tariff does not affect the output. But the
tariff imposed by other countries against
American flour has materially affected the
production for the worse. Mr.. Pilsbury
mentioned the proposed federation, of the En-
glish colonies in trade agreement, as sug-
gested by Mr.. Chamberlain, and prophesied
that if the colonies sent their products into
England free, and in competition with Amer
lean products, which are admitted under a
duty that the American farmer and -four
manufacturer would suffer materially. The
speaker paid a glowing tribute to the states
manship of Blaine, and said that the reci-
procity agreement which formerly existed
increased the trade between American ports
and the ports of Spain and Brazil from 100
to 800 per cent on different commodities. Mr.
Pillsbury believed that If congress should
adopt the reciprocity scheme again II would
show magnificent results within the next
eight or ten years.

THE FRENCH ARE FILIAL.
Surprise Felt at Queen v1ctoria,s
Relations With Her Sons.

We read here with wonder Of the
queens dependence for sympathy and
support on Prince Henry of Batten-
berg, writes Mrs Crawford from Paris
to London Truth That he did serve
her as prop is to his honor 1t is
also pleasant to know how sensible she
was Of his affectionate care But what
were her sons doing to render the care
OF an outsider necessary? This ques-
ton comes with rush from French
mouths. They cannot conceive a
mother of the queens venerable age,
with sons to whom a loyal country
have assured wealth, and therefore
leisure, not giving her the support and
sympathy she requires. A French
queen, with but single son, would 1
am sure. be constantly looked after by
him. There would be no sheepish hang
ing back from showing her the f1lial
affection which is as sunshine to the
elderly.
President Carnot, who was certainly
a much-worried man, devoted every
Sunday to the aged Nine Carnot mere.
Her other son, a very hard-Worked
professor of the. Ecole des Mines, con-
secrated to her his midweek half holt
day. She went once a week to dine
or dejeuner at the Elysee, and more
often to dine at the Ecole des Mines
Thus, between the two sons, she had
always companionship. Gen. Boulan-
ger, when war minister, kept up the
old habit of giving his Sundays to his
mother, who was then near eighty, and
slightly demented.
She lived some distance from Paris.

The absent sons wrote gossiping letters
and diaries for her entertainment. They
addressed her as "Carissima Majeste.'

'Tincomparable Maman." When they
married 1t made no difference. At
Neuilly, the summer residence of Louis

CANNIBAL PLANTS.
They Are Sure to Languish When
Deprived of Their Diet of Meat,

Deprived of Their Diet of Meat.
1t has been proved time and time again that
tne so-called "cannibal plants" of which the
venus hy-trap is the type, are much more
healthy when allowed their regular insect food
than when they are reared under netting or
I'D any other manner which excludes them
from their regular meat diet, according to the
Cincinnati Enquirer. The above is an oddity
In ITSELF especially when we consider the fact
that there is certain school of botanists
which teaches cannibal plants make no use
whatever of the insect prey captured by them
but 1t is nothing compared with the bold as
sertlon made by Francis Darwin. That noted
sc1entlhc gentleman bravely meets the "yege-
tarlan botanfst" with the assertion that all
KINGS and classes of plants, whether known
as meaters" or not, bear more and heavier
fruits and seeds when fed on meat than those
that are not allowed a flesh diet. He grew
