But Never Gave Up Two Seats for One Woman
at the Same Time.
1t all happened in a crowded street
car, and the cause was the inability Of
a large woman to cit down in child's
size seat.
The car was speeding along under
the buzzing trolley wire. Every seat
was occupied, and several passengers
swung back and forth at the ends of
the hand straps, which are placed in
street cars under the absurd supposi.
ton that they are of assistance to one
in attempting to maintain IN upright
position.
Suddenly, after grinding OF breaks
and general disposition Of the passen.

the car stopped short.

dressed, and her face bore that expires.
sion Of self appreciation which only
wealth combined with long ancestry
can give. She looked about haughtily
for a place to sit. The women who
we're fortunate enough to have seats
smiled complacently, while the men
covered behind their newspapers.
BY crowding his neighbor one man
managed to make little space on the
seat beside him, and called the new
passengers attention to 1t. After one
glance at the offered seat che glared at
the man a moment and then turning
her back on him, addressed q woman
who was seated on the other side of the
car.

With the eyes of all the passengers
upon him, the man who had attempted
to make room for the speaker rose to
his feet.

The Care of Roads.

The London (Eng.) Road Improve.
ment Association has issued the fol.
lowing rules for keeping Macadam and
Telford pavement in repair:
Never allow hollow, a rut or a pud.
die to remain on u road, but fill it up
at once with chips from the stone heap.
Always use chips for patching and
for all repairs during the summer
season.
Never put fresh stones on the road,
If, by CROSS packing and thorough
use of the rake, the surface can be
made smooth and kept at the proper
strength and section.
Remember that the rake is the most
useful tool in our collection, and it
should be kept close at hand the whole
year round.
Do not spread large patches of stone
over the whole with Of the road, but
coat the middle or horse track first and
when this has worn In, coat each Of
the sides in turn.
In moderately dry weather and on
hard roads always pick up the old
surface into rides six inches apart, and
remove all large and projecting stones
before applying a new coating.
Oh
stone deep, but add a second layer
when the let has worn in, If one coat
be not enough.
Never shoot stones on the road and
crack them where they lie, or a smooth
surface will be out Of the question.
Never put stone upon the road for
repairing purposes that will not freely
pass in every direction through two
inch ring and remember that smaller
stones should be used for patching and
for all slight repairs.
Recollect that hard stones should
be broken to finer gauge than soft, but
that the two inch gauge is the largest
that should be used under any circum.
stances where no steam roller is used.
Never be without your ring gauge;
remember Macadam's advice, that any
stone you can not easily put In your
mouth should be broken smaller.
Use chips, if possible, for binding
newly laid stones together, and remem.
ber that road sweepings, horse drop
pings, sods or grass and other rubbish,
when used for this purpose, will ruin
the best road ever constructed.
Remember that water worn or round
ed stones should never be used upon
steep gradients, or they will fail to
bind together.
Never allow dust or mud to lie on
the surface of the roads, for either of
these will double the cost of mainte.
nance.
Recollect that dust becomes mud at
the first shower, and that mud forms
wet blanket which will keep a road in
a filthy condition for weeks at time,
instead Of allowing it to dry in a few
hours.
Remember that the middle of the
road should always be little higher
than the sides, so that the rain may
ruin into the side cutters at once.
Never allow the water table, cutters
and bitches to clog, but keep them
clear the whole Y ear through.

When Was the Bible Complet.d


Scholars differ In opinion 90 to the
date at which the books now found in
the New Testament were completed,
but II 10 probable that this was accom-.
piished not later than 1870. Many CEN
turies had passed in the formation Of
the Old Testament, but the New was
oil written within . single hundred
years. The decision as to which book
should be received into the new canon
was not 90 quickly reached, for the
earliest fathers OF the Church frequently
quote from other gospels, such as one
according to the Egyptians, or "ac-
cording to the Hebrews" and the Sy.
rian Church accepted some books not
received by that OF North Africa or the
Western Church, aud vice versa. There
is legend that at the first'ecumenical
council Of Nicaea, S25, copies Of all the
Christian literature then current we're
laid beneath the altar and the genuine
books leaped out of the mass and
ranged themselves on the altar. II
probably contains germ Of the truth
that at this convecation it was de
cided that the books now received we're
apostolic or written under apostolic di
rection, and the others were spurious.
Be this as it may, the judgment of sew
eral generations Of Christians certainly
decided upon the value Of these book.

Mckinley ana 2B-Cent wheat.

The free xilverites last year made sun
dry bold statements about a contracted
currency; that there was not enough mon
ey In the country with which to do bust
ness, and that the only way out Of it was
by the adoption Of the free and unlimited
coinage scheme. This would fix things up
all right, but unless adopted, many terri
BILE things would happen; wheat would
drop to Is cents a bushel, mortgages
would be foreclosed. men could find no
employment, and a general gloom would
settle over the country, such as had never
been seen before. 1t will be remembered,
however, that the free coinage proposition
was not adopted by the voters of the coun-
try, and yet in spite Of this fact the circu-
aation Of the country within a year has
increased nearly 500, O,OOO, wheat has
gone up to the dollar mark, mortgages are
being rapidly paid Oh, men are employed

retirement, he said, "As I look back over

more impressed with the Unreasonable
Importance Of this court. Now and then
we hear it spoken Of as an aristocratic
feature of a republican government, but
it Is the most democratic OF all. 1t car

it possesses the power Of declaring the

Our Farmers WIN Profit.

Estimates made by the Government sta
tisticians OF the United States and Aus
tra-Hungary place the deficiency In the
worlds wheat supply for this year at 2O2,
100000 bushels. The total crop OF last
year fell 13O,OO0,OOO bushels short OF the
average, so the net deficiency Of the two
years aggregates 3332,OO0,OO0, or more
than one-sixth Of q normal years supply.
This il Sufficient to account for the ad-
rance in prices, when taken in connection
with the fact that the consuming popula-
ton Is constantly increasing. Reports
from the wheat exporting countries OF
the Southern Hemisphere promise a good
average yield from the next harvest, but
the outlook for mex years American win
ter wheat is bad enough to more than bal
arce the good promise of Australia and
Argentina. On the whole, the outlook il
for no better supply next year than this,
including India.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Compares the Two Laws.

The American Economist contains an
instructive comparison between the first
two months of the Wilson tariff and the
Dingley tariff. The figures show that dur
ing the first month of it's operation, Sep
TENDER, 1894, the Wilson bill yielded a
revenue Of $50. 621, 900 and during the Sec
ond month $40, 1876, 24O. The Dingley bill
produced $10,O23,615 during the first
month Of its operation and $21, 1888 ,O9S
during the second. The point Of contrast
is that while the Wilson bill showed a
large falling off in the second month the
Dingley bill shows a large gain and ST.
703,S5S more than the total revenue re-
ceived during the second month of the
Wilson bill. From another point Of view,
covering expenditures as well as receipts,
the deficit during the first month Of the
Dingley bill was nearly 100000 greater
than during the first month of the Wilson
bill, while in the second month Of the
Dingley bill the deficit was over $4,000
600 less than in the second month of the
Wilson bill. The Wilson bill deficit grew
as the bill got older and continued to in
crease, while the Dingley bill deficit was
$1,OOO,OOO less in the second moath than
in the first, showing the superiority Of
the Dingley bill as a producer Of revenue,
while as a producer Of prosperity there is
no room for comparison. The Wilson bill
destroyed prosperity, while the Dingley
bill is restoring it.

what About Corn, Pork and Wool

What About Corn, Pork and WoOl7
How do the free silver and free trade
theorists who are charging up the advance
in wheat to the shortage abroad account
for the advance in all other farm products,
corn, rye, beef, pork, wool, cattle. horses,
sheep, hops, tobacco and potatoes? The
fact 10 that it is due to the increased con.
sumption at home. People who earn little
economic in eating; those whose earn
ings are increased spend far more for
food and get that of u better quality.

CAN'T MAKE TIN, CAN'T WEI
Old Free Trade Argument knocked
Into a Cooked Hat.


Into n Cooked Hat.
Everybody remembers how the free
traders scofed at the idea of making tin
plate in this country, and how long they
denied that it was being made at all. Now
we are making tin plate enough to supply
our own markets and ship some abroad,
and we are making it better and cheaper
than the Welshmen did. London Hard
ware OF Sept. 16 says, referring to the
Welsh makers: ut is not their fault if the
American works, brand new in all their
appointments, turn out plates a little
cheaper than the Welsh mills. Besides,
the Americans get their tin bars cheaper.
OF course the loss of the Ameri-
can trade is a great disaster. but it came
in the natural order of things, and must
be accepted patiently" There never was
n greater triumph for the protection prin-
ciple, or Il pla'ne. demonstration of It,
effectiveness, than the establishment of
the tin plate industry in this country, and
appreciation of that fact was one reason
why the free traders fought it SO malig-
lignantly.-Louisville Commercial.

that the Dingley law will produce ample
revenues after it gets fairly at work. The

1t will be noticed that the total loss on
the value Of the farm animals of the Unit
ed States during the years 1893, 1894,
1895 and 1896 reached the enormous ag-
gregate Of $2,56O,422 ,06S! That. is the
