THE DINGLEY FAILURE,

The Phll11alphia Times, writing under
this c&r.iJn. is crer in The declaration
IA: the L:n.l"y tariff is an liter ..ll-
urc. The Dingley bill, which has been
IN force nearly two months was framed.
IN the words of the author, ito provide
adequate revenues from duties on i'm
ports to carry on the government" 1t
also was framed to serve another pur-
pose, that of protecting American mani
ufacturcd goods against the competition
OF cheaper foreign goods. Has 1t served
these TWO purposes SO far, and If not,
is 1t likely to do better in the future ?
asks the Times. The evidence that 1t is
serving these purposes will be furnished
when government receipts equal or ex-
coed expenditures and Il brisk demand
arises for The output of American man
ufGcturcs at advanced prices.
During the month OF August and the
iirst half of September the receipts were
only S26SSa1SS, or $7,59O,67O less than
during the same period II 1895. The de-
iict for this period is S17,1IG, SIS as against
Slo'lS,SlI in 1896 and Si,426909 in 1895,
IN DOTH of which years the Wilson tariff
was IN force. Our contemporary de-
c!arcs that zip to this time the new law
mas proved II lamcntable failure i'm the
production of the revenues required 10
pay the current expenses of the govern
ment. and 1t looks now as though the
iirst business of Congress when II moot c
III regular session in December would
De the enactment of supplemental legis-
iation to raise The necessary revenue.
These two months expenses forces the
hcliet that it lis quite time for our
statesmen 10 recognize the plain fact
thal we have outgrown the infant stage
ana that revenue laws must be based
upon the conditions which exist now
rather than upon those of a quarter of a
century ago. Blainc's criticism of. tbe
AlcNinley bill, that it would not omen a
new market for Il single bushel of wheot
OF barrel of pork, applies in n much
Wider sense To the Dingey bill, for the
reason that our manufacturers need
new markets now quite as much as the
farmers did then, while the law closes
rather than opens markets to orr man.

NOISE AND THE DEATH RATE.

1t is, OF course, impossible to state
exactly what part noise in New York
city plays in the death rate and the
sick list. but every physician knows
1t must be considerable. How often the
physician in his daily rounds finds it
necessary to prescribe perfect quiet" in
order that the Pickering spark of life
emaining In the patient may be
brought back to a healthy flame. Yet
r nine cases out OF ten that perfect
iuiet he deems so important cannot be
had, owing to the noises from the street
when windows must be kept open. The
Especially is this true in warm weather,
makers of unnecessary noises in New
York are not confined to any one class
All are more or less guilty, from the
church people to the organ grinder and
the street peddler Anyone who studies
this subject and observes carefully will
be astonished and disguised at the reck-
less disregard of each for the health
peace, and comfort of all others. II
You should go for a walk in Fifth
Avenue on fine afternoon and all sorts
and conditions of people were to begin
TO assault you with switches, you would
call the police; they would be promptly
arrested and punished. What for?
They have not killed you, or manned
you, or drawn any blood, and you are
apparently none the worse for these as
s3ults. What they have done is to ir-
ritate the nerve examinations of one Of
YOUR five senses viz. that of touch or
the tactile sense, and through the nerves
OF this sense they made you conscious
OF painful sensations. This is exactly
the treatment you do receive from these
same people, by their unnecessary as
saults on another sense, viz: that OF
hearing. But should you ask the
authorities to interfere in this case, you
would likely be arrested yourself, and
your sanity inquired into. This is re-
markable inconsistency-th prompt
protection of one of our senses from
assault, and the utter disregard of an
other-seems almost unaccountable, ex-
cept on the ground of custom and habit.

which the American public has become

NO PURE GOLD IN USE.

Gold, when refined from all impuri-
ties" said Well-known jeweler, "and
alloys Of inferior metals, is denominated
pure. This means gold of twentyfour
carats, and this is the standard recog-
nized by the mint master and dealers in
gold. AS a matter of fact, however,
there is no gold so pure. Gold of TWEEN
ty-two carats is about as pure as 1t
can be got. IT has two parts of silver
or one part of silver and one part Of
copper. The copper darkens the color
Of gold, while silver lightens it in color.
Twenty-three carat gold is occasionally
seen, which means half carat each Of
silver and of copper. Ordinarily eigh-
teen carat gold is the best gold that
can be had Certainly it is the best
for jewelry. for pure gold, as it is
called, is too soft, and will wear away
much faster than the owners of it de-
sires. "-Washingtcn Star.

WOMEN OF HELTGOLAND.

The women in Heligoland the little
island in the German ocean, are, gen
orally speaking, small and gracefully
formed and present remarkable con-
trast to their tall and Swapping mates.
The female loneliness is, no doubt, ow-
ing in a large measure to the inferior
fare and the rough work with the nets.
No thought of female suffrage is ever
likely to enter Helgolander's head.
His idea OF the relation of the sexes
is the old one-that the man is the
head of the family, and that the women
take them as you like, are an inferior
lot. The men are kind and courteous
to their women in all respects, but
there is no doubt who is lord. The
patriachal system has scarcely died out.
Each lusty, broad-shouldered son,
though he may have passed his twenty
first birthday, is required to give all,
or nearly all, his earnings to his father
so long as he lives under the parental
roof Heligolanders, as a rule, marry
Young. There are more women than
men, and it is not difficult to find
n.ste. Housekeeping is not an expensive
affair, and there is plenty OF money TO
be earned II a man is industrious.
