 tFrom the New York Sun)
 As the travelling Briton is known in this country by his luggage, so the American woman was once hated in Europe because of her Saratoga trunk The world has escaped the general adoption of the Saratoga trunk, but a worse thing seems possible as British luggage threatens to become interna- tional. Even now you may buy in this town all the impedimenta with which the travelling Briton cumbers himself and bedeviis the rest of mankind. A Broadway trunkmaker has for some years past undertaken to fix the thrall- dom of these things upon his fellow eountrymen and women, and many travelling Americans, especially the wealthy and fashionable, are 10 be re- cognized by the multiplicity of British impedimenta that they carry to and fro in their frequent journeyings between the Old World and the New.

-7----------'---77-77-7---77- 7-1-'-7-F7--=7-477T 4 lfOH H.iAIMED.iN PRAYER.

Though all the causes for the dread Turks are not plain it is evident that the spirit and the teachings of Islam are active in it. What this spirit and these teachings are is we'll illustrated by a. prayer which is said in a great missionary university in Cairo, where from six to eight thousand students from every part of the Mohammedan world are assembled to be trained for teaching their faith in Asia; and Africa. Every evening this prayer is offered by the assembled company of students: o Lord Of all creatures! O Allah! de- stroy the infdels and the polytheists, thine enemies, the enemies of thy re- ligion, o Allah! make their children or phans and detile their bodies. Cause thelr feet to slip, give them and their families, their household and their wo- men, their children and their relations by marriage, their brothers and their friends, their possessions and their race, their wealth and their lands as booty to the Moslems, o Lord of all creatures.
 This is not a beautiful prayer accord ing to Christian ideas. But it suits the Mohanmedans, and probably they think it is now being answered in the slaughter and the plunder of the Ar
 aenians. And the poor Armenians need a good deal of faith in order to be- lieve that God is not answering that terrible Mohammedan prayer and pay ing no attention to their prayers.

FAiSAiON NOTES.
For Wear Indoors.

White was never more worn. and all exquisite house gown of white groad- cloth is made princess with long train. the front double breasted and fastening at the hip. A double band of sealskin. with gold and jewels set between, edges the collar, double front, and cuffs. This is design that is always graceful and really never out of fashion. The odd thing about this particular gown is that the sleeve is tight over the shoulder, a big puff of sealskin being set in at the elbow
 A striped and figured green suiting was used for the dress of this picture, its plain skirt being lined with pafe green moreen. Its blouse waist fasten- ed invisibly at the side and had a square yoke in front of alternate mar tin and guipure stripes, with a stock collar to match, ornamentsd with a large velvet bow in back. over the shoulders were bretelles of the dress nateria edged with green velvet, and below the yoke was seen a velvet vest bordered on both sides with fur. 4

" Justice, Bateman & Co, of Philadel-
 phia, publish a diagram showing the, effect of tariff Legislation on the sheep industry. From 1867 to 1883 the duty on wool was 1211a cents a pound, and in the latter year the number of sheep in | the United States was 50, 800, ,0oo. By the law of 1883 the duty was reduced to 10 | cents a pound and the number of sheep dropped in four wears to fl, ,500,0o0, a de-
 crease of IS per cent. Under the Me
 Kinley duty of II cents a pound the
 number rose to 7500, ,000, an increase of | 1a per cent. and under the frea-wool provision of the present tariff the num-
 Der has fallen to 4o,ooo,ooo, decrease
 of 15 per cent.
 These figures do not indicate that free wool is the unnitigated blessing 1 the free-woolers say it is. It has been said by some of the vociferous advo- cates of free wool that the wool man ufacturers are pleased with the present situation But the wool manufacturers themselves, who may be supposed to
 know how thsy like it, say in the an nual report of their national association that they are already thoroughly con- vinced that the progress and pros perity of their industry require the radical modification of the tariff at the stitution of purely ad yalorem duties I for the compound duties of previous laws has worked. disastrously to the American manufacturer. It has de- moralized the general trade of the country and been disastrous to the revenue of the government The claim that the Gorman-Wilson tariff would l improve the quality and cheapen the price of wooden clothing to the people
 has been thoroughly disproved. The 1 British manufacturers have been ena- bled to pour into the country vast quan- titles of cheap, fiimsy goods, kept out under former protection tariffs, and the American manufacturers have been forced to meet this cheap competition
 by reducing the quality of their goods 1 correspondingly. This is sufficiently proved by the immense increase in the l Importation of shoddy and other cheap substitutes for pure wool. There is but one remedy for the evil" say the | manufacturers, a return to the weight duties of the former tariff"

The importance of a recent judicial decision in St Louis, under the anti trust law of Missouri, was not disclosed in the brief. telegraphic dispatches By the decision all sales made on credit by any firm violating the antitrust law are affected. The case in court was that of the National Lead company of New York against St. Louis firm, being suit for $1, 800 on account There was no denial of the debt by the de- fendant, but a plea of release of liabili- ty, as the antitrust law declares that the purchaser of any article or com modity from a corporation violating the provisions of the law shall not be liable for the payment of the same. Judge Hirzel of the Circuit court accepted this answer as satisfactory. The Lead com pany, therefore, to collect money due it in Missouri must defend itself against the charge of being a trust.

The result of the Canadian elec-
tions, last week, which involved among
other questions, that of separate schools
in Manitoba, and over which there
has been bitter fight betve the
government, under the rule of the Con-
servative party on one side, and the
province of Manitoba, has been a de-
cided victory for the latter, the Liber-
ais electing large majority of the
members of parliament. The decisive
victory of the Libsrals was even sur
prise TO themselves, and how it was
done can hardly be comprehended
The Liberal papers now claim that
Manitoba's public school system is
perfectly safe, and there we'll be no re-
turn to the separate school. The con
servative class is decidedly English in
its notions and hates everything Amer
lean, while the Liberals have kindly
feeling for this country, and are called
"Annexationists."

The question of teachers salaries
is being agitated all over the country.
There are large classes of people who
imagine that a teacher has only five
days in the week and six hours a day
work. There is no class of working
people who put in more hours at work
than the teachers in public schools.
It is a kind of work that soon tells
upon them, End few live to the allot ed
age of three score and ten. A sales
man or second class bookkeeper earns
as much as the instructor of his child
rem, and the teacher of today is not
the teacher of generation ago. They
are necessarily at work devising ways
and means to quicken the intellect as
well as stamp the "rule of three" into
the memory of the juvenile. Besides
in many districts they suffer discounts
which materially reduces the promised
ronthly pay.-White River Journal.

Is Life Worth the Livings

| The Seattle Times in its issue of th,
18th inst. under the caption "Is Life
Worth Living" discusses at som,
length the eternal hurry and scurry o
the Am erican people, and we'll say.
that we are striving with might and
main for we scarcely know what, and
then if we are so unfortunate as to gel
that which We thought we wanted, we
cast it aside unsatiated, and in our
mad rush so chasing on after some
other chimera. There is much truth
in what the Times says. but it makes
no suggestions as to the remedy nec-
essary, and grotesquely winds up by
quoting the old adage that "whether
life is worth living all depends on the
liver" This is a grave question and
one which the American people must
answer if they would perpetuate the
institutions they have thus far reared
and love as part of their existence.
One of the very greatest mistakes we
have made, and especially us of the
West, has been the attempt to get
wealth without making home. The
The home is the foundation-stone up-
on which the American republic is
built, and without the home we can
no more exist than we can without
air. Thousands have left the East and
came hither in the mad rush of boom
times hoping to make fortune in a
short time and return, and now they
are stranded, homeless and dissatisfied,
and above all, compelled to stay here
and to make the most of very bad
situation. Had they on arrival in the
West, began to make homes and pre-
pare for the emergency of to-day in
stead of rushing madly into every
species of speculation, how much bet
ter off they would have been. There
is no more desirable place in the Unit
ed States for home making than the
Pacific coast, and when the people
conclude to lay aside foolish and ven-
turesome fortune seeking and go to
work to make comfortable and pleas
ant homes, half the battle will be won.
Life is worth living, liver or no liver,
if we make it so, and when all who
can make homes are in possession of
them, the idea that contentment is
better than riches will prevail and the
dissatisfaction, the hurry and scurry
that makes us so miserable will die of
inanition. Chronicle.

1t Was Stricken Out.

1t is reported that the committee on
platform of the late national republi-
can convention had agreed upon
plank declaring against appropriations
of public money for sectarianpurposes
in Difference to the request of Col.
Sellers, president of the National
Council of Patriotic Associations.
This plank was stricken out at SUBJ
sequent meeting of the committee,
upon the receipt of a telegram from
Archbishop Ireland urging that no
such clause be adopted, which telegram
was seconded by the active personal
efforts of national committeeman
Kerens, of Mo-, the man who was de-
feated for delegate at large to the Ma
tional Convention by C. I. Filley, an
avowed friend of the A. P. A.
Since the leading religious denomin-
ations, with the single exception of
the one which Archbishop Ireland rep
resents, have publicly expressed their
approval of the policy of making no
such appropriations and republican
congress has put itself upon record as
opposed to further appropriations of
this kind, the chief significance of the
omission of such declaration in the
platform consists in the influences
which caused it to be omitted.-True
