What is worrying the benefci-
aries of the Dingley tariff more
than anything else at the persent
time is the vociferous demand of
the working classes, for a share
Of the prosperity. This is highly
improper on the part of the work
ing classes, as viewed from the
standpoint of the favored manu-
facturer, but in the light of this
fact the Republican party asserts
that . high tariff protects and raises
the wages of American labor, they
can not be blamed for demanding
3 portion of the pudding of pros
prosperity, but whether they will
get 1t Or not is another question,
which is not likely to be answered
in the Enthusiastically States.

Paradise Farm.

In dear Covington, whose hospitable
hands
Were stretched forth in help TO our
plaGue-otricken lande,
There nestles among The sweet-smelling
pines,
Paradise Farm, where the sun ever
shines.
Far away from the gay city's noise and
strife,
No care ever enters this ideal life;
This modern Utopia realized
dream-
where life flows q calm q the clear
placid stream.
Where mistress and maids arise with
the dawn,
And view with delight the tall, waving
corn.
Where the chirp Of the birds, and the
tinkling Of bells,
Re-echo faint music through neighbor-
ing dells.
All through the day, ON his manifold
rounds,
The CHEEKY whistle Of the chore-boy
resounds,
Making life better, more joyous and
sweet,
For the hard working hands in his ru-
raj retreat.
While the mistress sits churning her
bright golden butter,
The maids on the porch are ill In .
hutter;
For she has announced (Which caused
this alarm)
mo man is allowed ON Paradise Farm!''
O, what shall. we do without the dear
boys?
Life, indeed, would be dreary, were II
not for their noise.
Who shall drive us, and row rs, and
roam mid the pines,
And echo our laughter from under the
vines?
O Ezekiel, O Warren, o Johnnie, they
cry,
To soften the heart of this mistress,
For talk IS you may, of Utopia's
charm,
We miss the dear boys ON Paradise
Farm.

At meeting of the health con-

last week, Mr.. Eshleman, referring
to impure cisterus, said that he
had had his cleaned out, and found
two barrels of electric light bugs
in the bottom of 1t. Instead of
cleaning out his cistern, he should
have merely boiled the water, as
most people over there do. 1t is
said to be an excellent substitute
for gombo.

me Stock Broker,s Fac.

A New York artist who has been
studying the faces of stockholders has
produced a composite face embodying
all the typical features of the Stock Ex-
change operator OF his sketch we give
a copy, reduced in size. The artist re-
marks that the face differs in several
important respects from that of the or
binary successful business man. It is
nervous, eager, and alert. It gives the
impression of strength kept under con-
slant control. The head has, besides, a
very we'll groomed appearance, which is
we'll set off in ninety-nine cases in
hundred by fashionable clothing. There
is probably no other class or type of
men in the world who look so much
alike as stockholders. They may have
come originally from some little coun-
try town or from some of the inland
cities. After years of the strain Of follow
ing the stock markets those diversified
types will come to look surprisingly
alike
The composite portrait was submitted
for examination to g clever phrenolo-
gist and this is his report:
In the side head, as well as in the
face, there are evidences of power,

SNOW TRAIN PROPOSED TO RUN TO KLONDYKE

would have probably the course offering
the least resistance, albeit a little
longer.
The Yukon route is regarded by many
as too far out of the way, and further
more, as dangerous. on account of the
rapids which abound, and are likely to
make the ice unsafe. Mr.. Glover him
gel-the waterway route" as it is
called.
There are only two places in the
whole 500 miles where I expect to
find any hindrance,'' ne says. L can
go up the Stikine River 100 miles to
Telegraph Greek and then half way
over to Lake Teslin, without trouble,
but the latter half of the way to the
lake is wooded, and I expect to have
some clearing to do. That sort of work
I am used to- however.
4 can take I'D men enough on one
train to walk right through that forest,
once they have decided what route to
clear. A path is bIazed through there
already, I believe. The lake and the
rivers away down to Dawson City and
on TO the mouth are frozen thick seven
months of the year, and are covered
with four or five, or even ten, feet of
snow That is just the stuff I travel on.
1t makes the best rOadbed I could have.
I'VE may have to leave the river down
at Five Finger Rapids. It depends, of
course, on how thick the ice is. I rather
think it will hold if we keep close to the
bank At all events we can make a
detour on land without serious incon-
venience. It should not take much over
a week to make the run the first trip,
and later, when the road is wei packed,
we can do it in four days.
Secretary Alger proposes running a
train out from each end of the road
every day. Allowing each train to stop
over twenty-four hours at each end of
the road, it would need at least twelve
trains to carry out the Secretary's
plan.

After the Great Explosion.

Here is reproduced very interesting
photograph, which shows the havoc
wrought by the explosion of a gun on
board the Russian ironclad 'Cissio We
liky." 1t will be remembered that not
many months ago this ship was an
chored off Crete, when the breech me-
chanism of one of the guns blew out.
and the entire top of the armored tur-
ret, after being blown considerable
distance in the air, fell upon the deck
killing instantly a large number of Of
hcers and men. The photograph repro
duced show the breeches of the guns
Immediately after the explosion.
