A new device for use in the nursery is
nursing bottle support, which can be
clamped ON a chair or crib, and holds the

Salt boxes, which will not permit the
salt to cake and become hard, have a

A recently patented device to keep mud

lively. The goods subjected TO this outrage
are cheap boys and mems suitings and
ovcrcoatings, wooden shirtings and women's
cloakings. Under the Wilson law the
duty is just sufficient TO allow competi
tion between foreign and domestic manu-
facturers, and it is said that the latter
have not agitatcd the change, which they
insist has been made at the instance OF

In the present connection it is figured
that an additional duty Of per cent would
entirely shut out foreign competition and
amount TO a prohibitive tariff. The duties
proposed in the DingIey bill would, of course,
mark the end Of any public revenue now
