WOODEN GOODS.
EFFECT OF THE WILSON TARIFF
ON THE WOODEN INDUSTRY.
A. Bad for tho Manufacturers as IL Is for
the Flockma sters-Passed In England's
Interest - Largely Increased Imports
of Wooden Goods.

This paper has, already published
statistics showing the disastrous effects
of the lson tariff oa the wool rails
ing industry in this country. The
effect upon the mandatory of wooden
and worsted goods has been almost
equally destructive, SO that there is no
compromising benefit. The farmer
loses the sale Of his wool, and is also
losing the sale of his farm products
that would come from the employment
of hands in the wooden mills.
The imports of wooden cloth for the
year 1894, the last year under the Nc
Kinley tariff, were 7,seo 907 pounds,
valued at S7,O1o,29l. In 1898, the first
year under the Wilson tariff, they were
40,070, las pounds, valued at SIS, 2sl COS.
In wooden dress goods the value of inn
portations in 1894 was Ss,647, 25S, and
in 1895 it was S22, $40, ass. The value
of imports of wooden manufactures of
all classes for the calendar years named
was as follows, the first four years
being under the Mckinley tariff, and
the last under the Wilson tariff:

does and insinuations, doing ten times
more harm than if he came right out
and told in so many words what he
had seen or heard.
It is a fact to be recorded with
long straight white mark, however,
that the masculine gossip is not largely
encouraged among the members of his
sex who have any pretentlons to real
manliness. The women whom such
men select as their victims are gener-
ally widows, who have no husbands to
crush the lie these reprobates circulate
or else women who are struggling hard
for livelihood, and whose constant
and necessary contact with the world
makes them more liable to invite COM
ment and unkind criticism than the
wife or daughter whose honor is shell
tered by the protecting love and care
of men who work for them. The mas
culine gossip doesn't touch the latter
oh. dear no. The cowardly carcass is
afraid Of their protectors, but where he
has nothing to fear he lets his foul
tongue run riot, doing all in his power
to injure and annoy. 1t is well that
some chivalry still exists among man
kind and that the defenceless woman
who cannot retaliate either through
her husband or brother, not infrequent-
lv finds staunch defenders in the ranks
of those in whom the gossipper expects
to find enthusiastic and credulOus lis

MASCULINE GOSSIPS.

If woman gossips are despicable,
men gossips are absolutely abomina-
BILE. Here the real manly man inter
rupts by saying there are no men gos-
sips. There shouldn't be, we know;
but there are, all the same-mean,
scandal loving, reputation-destroying
objects who pose as men, but who are
not worthy the name. 1t wouldn't be
so bad if these masculine gossips
would confne their conversation to the
substantial or imaginary pecadilloes OF
their own sex, but there doesn't ap-
pear to be enough spice in that tame
sort of back biting; therefore the busy
body of the masculine gender hits upon
some poor woman for his prey, and NJ

dollars, which opens the lawyers fount
of eloquence that lauds him to the
skies and brings justice smiling to his
side. Law, the poor can have in plenty;
but Justice must be wooed by means
utterly beyond their reach. Poverty
has the bitter, while opulence takes
the sweets of what we are pleased to
call the "true spirit of the law or as
Napoleon gloomly puts it, claw rules
for all. but Justice is on the side with
the biggest guns" Your boy has not
the gums" and conviction is the ver-
dict, with the reform school to teach
and train. or the prison to ruin him.
In many cases parental chastisement
would be of far more value in correct
ing a boys vicious inclinations than
legal punishment. There is little JUS
tice and less wisdom, in sending them
to prison to be reared under conditions
that are far more liable to ruin than to
save. The object of law should
be to protect and not besmirch charac'
ter. and in the case of boy caution
often avails more than punishment.

VIRTUE OF SILENCE.

Much unnecessary friction would be
saved in the family if people could but
remember that there is great virtue IN
silence, says writer in Harper's Ba-
zaar. 1t is the hastily spoken word
which brings on another and another,
and if we could refrain the satlrlcal
and vehement reply, passing by what
has irritated us, the moment OF danger
would presently be gone. With chill
dren it is usually best to avoid an Is
sue where trifles are in dispute trying
the blessed effect of diversion. 1t is
rarely worth while for mother to set
herself in battle array against baby.
She who is tactful and sensible intro
duces a new idea, and presently the
little parsonage, all sweet and smiling
forgets the obstinacy which was ready
to lift it's defiant head. Said the moth
er of seven: "I was foolishly anxious
over nv first child and there were
many difficult passages for him and
for me, but 1 have never repeated the
sort of discipline which made the nur-
sery place of arbitrary despotism in
the case of my other children" Frlc-
ton between friends is inevitable. Peo-
pie have entirely different backgrounds.
Bringing up tells, and married friends,
which husband and wife should surely
be. may strike on rocks in daily inter
course, because their standards, their
early influence, and their education
have been diverse. To manage life
successfully-an life is so short Il
ought not to be failure-we must re
, duce friction to minimum.

of human beings who, but for suffer
ing, would never have developed an
atom of affection. There are powers
to be borne, creations to be perfected,
through the ministry of pain, which
could be born and perfected in no
other way.
Our sorrows, which appear to us
nothing but yawning chasm or hide
Gus precipice, may turn out to be but
the joining or cement which binds to-
gether the fragments of our existence
into a solid whole The dark and
crooked path in which we have to
grope our way in doubt and fear, may
be but the curve which, in full day
light of a brighter world, will appear
to be the necessary finish of some
choice ornaments, the inevitable span
to some bright project. The finer the
nature the more flaws will it show
through the clearness of it. The best
things the most seldom seen in theil

incline men to pity and feel the mis-
fortunes of others, and which is ever

sELF-DEvELOPMENT.

It is the misfortune of young people
before they become fully engaged In
the relations of life and business, that
they look too much to acquaintance
for encouragement, and make the
amusement which their associates fur
nish too indispensable. The tender
mind of youth is reluctant, or unable
to stand alone; it needs to be one OF a
class. Hence the hours that ought to
be spent in the acquisition of that gen.
eral knowledge which is so useful in
after life, and which can be acquired
only in youth, are thrown away in the
most inglorious pursuits, for acqualnt-
ances are seldom the companions OF
study or the auxiliaries of business.
Emotions that are not followed up
by their appropriate action have
tendency to decrease and perish. Thus
soft-hearted tendency and ready SYM
pathy. if allowed to expend themselves
without producing any practical effort
to relieve suffering or to give happl-
ness. grow feebler and feebler until
they degenerate into puerile self-pity
which make even cruelty and injus-
tice possible. Manners have been
cynically defined as thing by which
wise men keep fools at a distance.
Fashion is shrewd to detect those who
do not belong to her train; and seldom
wastes her attentions. Society is very
swift in its instincts, and If you do not
belong to it, resists and sneers at you
or quietly drops you. Accordingly, the
conditions and surroundings OF life are
largely what we make them. This il
the case, first of all, through our direc
influence. We are raised or lowered
by our associations. Men are general
ly alike in their lower natures; it is II
their higher character that they differ
Manners, temper, intellect and moral
are all directly influenced by our sur
roundings, and those who chose to
themselves friends of an inferlo
caste-whether of mind or manners, Q
morals or of cOnduct-fall to the leve
of their choice. AS general thing w
reap that which we have sown. Blu
where it is not so, where circumstance
over which we have no control com
in the form of trials or joys, even thes
are greatly modified by the spirit
which they are received. Who has M
seen poverty or bereavement borne
heroically and cheerfully that the a
ficted one seemed rather an object
envy than of compassion? On tt
other hand, who has not seen one wi
every outward advantage that ear
has to bestow rendering himself al
others miserable by fretful complain
of troubles too petty to deserve

SAYING TOO MUCH.

"Never say too much" was the ad-
vice of dying mother to her son, who
still lives to profit by her counsels.
This admonition may be justly applied
to all grades of society, and be profit
ably needed by many in each grade.
Public speakers are very often prone to
say too much.
1t is fact worthy of notice and lml-
tation, that Washington, Franklin, and
others whose memories we desire to
perpetuate, were remarkably laconlc IN
their speeches; keeping close to the
question under consideration, aiming
to inform rather than dazzle, more anx-
ious to dispatch business than to out
shine one another in the brilliancy OF
their eloquence.
The public speaker who, without
flourish or parade, comes to the SUBJECT
matter at once; who presents in clear,
concise, and forcible manner the strong
points of his case; whose every SEN
tence strikes home; who says just all
that is necessary and there stops, is al
wavs listened to with marked atten-
tion unknown to those who indulge in
flights of oratory, plucking flowers
from the region of fancy, drawing more
largely upon the imagination than up
on sound logic and plain common
sense.
} In the private walks of life there are
thousands who say too much. The liar
: and profane swearer are constantly say
| ing too much. The whisperer OF scan
3 dal. the mysterious guesser, the lmper-
!, tinent meddler, the fiery and passionate,
1 the Jealous and suspicious, the mall
9 cious and revengeful, the curious and
reckless, are usually saying too much'
and from influences always wrong; often
criminal.
, There are others who, in perfect lnno-
l. cence, often say too much. The young
r. man whose stock of knowledge is small,
;. by talking when he should listen, may
?: miss intelligence that might be OF great
n use to him; and the man OF matureI
