The Art of Not Hearing.

Presbyterian Banner: The art of not
hearing should be learned by all. There are
so many things which il is painful to
near. very many which. if heard. will
disturb the temper. corrupt simplicity
and modesty. detract from contentment
and happiness. If man falls into a
violent passion and calls ali manner of
names. at the first words we should shut
our ears and hear no more. If in
quiet voyage of life we find ourselves
caught in one of those domestic whirl-
winds of scolding. we should shut our
ears as a sailor would furl his sail. and.
making all tight, scud before the gale.
If hot. restless man begins TO infiame
our feelings, we should consider what
mischief the fiery sparks may do in our
magazine below. where our temper is
kept. and instantly close the door. If
all the petty things said of a man by
Needless and ill-natured idlers were
brought home to him he would become
mere walking pin-cushior stuck full of
sharp remarks. If we would be happy
when among good men we should open
our ears: when among pad men. shut
them. 1t is not worth while to hear what
our neighbors say about our children
what our rivals say about our business.
our dress or our affairs

Yes, there is no question about

At this point Grant sprung the fol-

What viii you do with the resolu-
tion?" asked Chairman Noble.
Il second it, said Dininny.
Grant then asked: How do YOU
wish TO vote on it, by ayes and nays, in
executive or open session.
There was no reply to this, but the
roll was called
Dininny voted aye, and so did Grant.
No said COIN very emphatically.
And I'll vote no." said Noble.
LOST ON A TIE.
The resolution was declared lost on a
tie vote. Clerk Felt was called in TO
make the necessary record and the ses-
sion broke up. Noble, Dininny and
Grant walked out together. while Cohn
dropped behind and went over to Chief
Devine for a chat.
When Chief Devine was called upon
by a Herald man and made aware of
the result he declared he had nothing
to say except that the verdict would
meet with the approval of a large ma
jority of the taxpayers.

why the protective tariff is popular.
It says the best protective tariff for the
laboring man is that which brings good
times, the times that afford steady work
at good wages. He cares nothing for

wants is employment and pay. It is
similar with the farmer. Doctrinaires
and demagogues may talk to him of
export bounties'' and ''the markets of
the world,'' but if good times are es-
tablished in his own country, when
there is abundant market and good
prices for his products, he need pay no
attention to their theories and argu-
ments The money in his pocket is
the argument that satisfies him every
time. These are the considerations
