he has seen in the middle Of the salmon

Woman and Home.

Of course am not speaking of repre-
sentative women-of Eve, who ruined the
race by one fruit picking; of Jael, who
drove a spike through the head of Sisera,
the warrior; of Esther, who overcame
royalty; of Abigail who stopped host
by her own beautiful prowess; of Mary,
who nursed the world 8 Saviour; Of Grand
mother Lois, immortalized in her grand
son Timothy; Of Charlotte Corday, who
drove the dagger through the heart of the
assassin of her lover, Or of Marie Antoi-
nette, who by one look from the balcony of
her castle quieted mob, her own scaifold
the throne Of forgiveness and womanly
courage. l speak not of these extraordi-
nary persons, but of those who, unambi-
tious for political power, Us wives and
mothers and sisters and daughters attend
to the thousand sweet offices of home.
When at last we come to calculate the
forces that decided the destiny of nations,
it wilf be found that the mightiest and
grandest influence came from home, where
the wife cheered up dependency and fa-
tigue and sorrow by her own sympathy,
and the mother trained her child for heav-

gentleness refined the manners Of the

wreaths of blessing on the road that leads

God bless our homes! And may the home
on earth be the vestibule Of our homo in
heaven, in which place may we all meet

Perpetual Motion by Protection.

Perpetual Motion by Protection.
The California argument for high
er fruit duties is sort of perpetual mo
ton. The only disadvantage the Cali
fornia fruit raiser is at is to be found
in the cost of his land, but the only
thing that makes his land expensive is
the protitableness of fruit culture.
So the matter works out in this way:
The great profits of fruit raising sent
the value of land up to hundreds of dol
lars an acre. The interest on the value
of the land makes large item in
fruit raiser's balance sheet, and he feels
the need of high price for his fruit
This Senator Jones procures for him by
letting it be known that he will not vote
for the tariff bill unless it contains du-
ties on hides and increased duties on
| fruitssnnd the cheapest sorts of wool.
The increased duties adds to the prof
its of fruit culture, and the price of land
| takes another rise, whereupon the fruit
grower complains that the interest on
his land investment is so great or the
rental he has to pay for his land is so
high that there is an insufficient profit
In the business for him, and the only
thing that will save him from disaster
is more duty.
Logically this process can be carried
on indefinitely. Practically it cannot,
because with the increase in the price
of fruit the consumption of fruit will
decline. The consumer will be worse
off for the change. The grower, so far
as he is not to be considered as land
owner will be no better off, but the
value of the land will be as high as the
profits of fruit culture will permit

surnr Trust Exists No Longer.

We are assured by the Sugar Trade
Journal of May l3-Organ of the sugar
trust-that ''if ever a monopoly existed
in the sugar refining business it exists
no longer, and it is not likely that it
will ever be renewed" This is delight
full news. The journal was discussing
an amendment TO the senate bill to have
refined sugars pay the same duties as
raw sugars in cases where the manufac-
ture is controlled by monopoly. Ifthis
visionary proposal should pass the
senate, it will jeopardize the tariff
bill and the sugar trusts tens of mil
lions of surplus profits, which are so
near at hand that the mouths of Have
meyer and Searles are watering for
them. The sugar trust trembles at the
prospect, and tries to keep up its cour-
age by having it's organ inform the
world that "a lot of such visionary pro-
posals will, no doubt, be introduced
while the bill is under discussion, but
in the end the sound Judgment men will
control and tariff bill be passed with
out very much change from the senate
schedule"
The trust may be right. 1t usually is,
for it can predict what will happen to
the sugar schedule of the senate bill. It
knows what demands will be made by
it's agents and tools in the senate, and
it also knows the power of those who
make demands to enforce them. 1t puts
S7O,OOO,OOO against the interests of TO-
100000 people, and it knows from ex
perience which has most weight in tho
senate, where two or three hold the bal
ance of power.
No, there is no sugar trust, and nevel
was one, and in the end the sound judg
ment will prevail. when the devil wa'

Sin beautiful at the start-oh, how sad,

A terrible offset to all her attractiveness
We are not surprised when we find men
and women naturally vulgar going into

sin appended to superior education and to
the refnements Of social life! The accom-
plishments Of Mary, queen of Scots, make
her patronage Of Darnley, the proiiigate,
the more appalling. The genius of Cath,
crime II of Russia only sets forth in more
powerful contrast here unappeasable am

derful qualifications for queen make
the more disgusting her caprioiousness OF

greatness of Byron's mind makes the more

statement in the subject, running through
the ninety volumes of the record Mr..
Townsend states that it is a mistake to re-
gard his encyclopedia in the light Of an
index He says il is a compilation.
1t is impossible, said Mr. Townsend,
Ito convey to the public the amount OF
work involved in preparing this work. For
instance, / get an official report of battle.
In reading that report / find the names of
perhaps thirty officers or soldiers mentioned
for special gallantry. Perhaps they all be-
long to different regiments. / therefore
have to enter in connection with each regi-
mental record mentioned what may be said
about each individual belonging to such
regiment, reference being made to that re-
port stating to what credit each is entitled
as set forth in that report
Then again, those names are all carried
to the department of living heroes, or if
killed, they go to the department of hon.
ored dead, so that these two departments,
living heroes and hOnored dead. comprise
probably twenty thousand names in alpha
betical order, while the report itself of the
battle will be found in connection with its
partments, too, well every State,
North and South every general and battle,
whether Union or Confederate.
''All individuals have their departments
in connection with the States to which they
belong. In brief, the idea is to enable one
to see at once what has been said or done
by them"
The death of Charles A. Dana will enable
Mr.. Townsend to add to this great fund of
knowledge valuable information in connec-
ton with the famous EDITORS life.

~ HERE is probably no other disease
which affects so large a percentage of
our people as heart disease. The most
common symptoms are shortness of breath

A HUGE WAR RECORD.
Index to a Compilation of Documents
Begun Forty Years Ago.
New York Mail and Express.

The index to the famous Townsend Ii
brary of national, state and individual rec
ordS, now the property of Columbia Uni
versity, has been completed. Draped in the
national coors, this exhaustive and memo
rial publication is now on exhibition in the
library of the university. From historical
point of view the stars and stripes could
not honor a more worthy literary enter
prise. In accuracy and completeness 1T is
unparalleled by any publication of the kind.
For nearly forty years Thomas S. Town
send, the author, has, day by day, been pa
tently compiling this great work, and the
most noted students of war history have
been unable to find anything of Importance
in relation to the late war that has been
overlooked The idea of the Townsend Lii
brary was conceived six months before the
beginning of the great struggle, when it
was seen that an eruption could not be
avoided. A daily compilation of printed
matter relating to the crisis was begun, and
has been continued without interruption.
Although the present work as il now
stands is a marvellous achievement, 1t is
only the beginning of the foundation of a
library of accessible information gigantic in
proportions Year by year the lives of the
participants of the late war Will be followed
up and additions made to the library peri
odically.
The work is in three parts, the record,
encyclopedia and index. The record is in
ninety Volumes and contains every item of
information concerning the war and recon-
struction periods, and Of all individuals
connection with them. Each volume con-
tains six hundred pages. This work was
commenced on the LIST of November, 1860,
and not only comprised information on all
subjects relating to the war, but all matters
connected with it--for instance, the invasion
of Mexico.

Anti-Footban Bill Passed.

ATLANTA. Ga, Nov. S-Without one
word of discussion the House of Represen-
tatives, by vote of 81 to 3, to-day passed
the anti-football bill and it is now on its
way to the Senate. This remarkable result
was anticipated, notwithstanding the warm
opposition of the State University which,
recovering from the shock of Student Won
Gammon's death, tried to stem the tide of
opposition in order to save the game. A
powerful card was played by an appeal to
the mother of the dead student to which she
responded by calling on the Legislature not
to prohibit game which her son n had Loved q
as a college game to develop those who
would otherwise lose all interest in ath-
letics.
The bill as passed to-day provides that it
shall be unlawful for any person or per-
sons to come together and play a prize or
match game of football in any park or 9TH
er place in this State where a fee is charged
for admission to the game. One thousand
dollars fine or one year in the penitentiary
or both together were fixed as the penalty.
