THIRTY MONTHS OF 1HE WILSON
LAW.

Times.lierald: The near approach Of
the time when new revenue policy Il
to- he inaugurated furnishes occasion for
adverting to that monumental failure
known as the Wilson-Gorma tariff

tieth month since that inglOrious meas

1t is true that the effects Of the I'M.
American folly. which was pssrpetrHteti
by the fifty.third congress. have been
manifest for a much longer period than
thirty months. 1t must he borne In
mind that the measure was the subject
of acrimonious contention in the house
from the time of It's introduction In
December. 1893, until its final passage

months elapsed after the bill was intro

which time the business Of the country
was in state Of suspension and I'M

American industry has languislled I'M.

measure for a period Of three years an,l

also emincntly correct. While the
sugar schedule was under cOiisi,lera.

have swsptened the bitter dose by
profitable speculations IN sugar stocks,
thus ryconciling themselves to the dis.
tasteful charges of party perildy.
The supreme court also took wl,ack
at the law by wiplng out the income

Nobody liked the law. II had no
sponsors or defenders among free
traders or protcctionists. The law cost
the wage.carners of Massachusetts
alone 81 100000 In one year. Our Inn
ports Of foreign wooden cloths rose from
an average Of 12.OOO.OOO pounds fol
each OF the four years under the Me-
Kinlcy law to IO.OOO.OOO pounds under
the first year Of the Wilson law. The
total treasury deficit for the thirty
months Of the Wilson law amounts IL
round numbers to S13O.OOO.OCO. or IN
average shortage Of $144.O0O per day

months fell S1O0.OOO.OOO below the Gus

SIR HENRY IRVING'S MAGNANI-
NIFTY.

The changes of fortune place people
sometimes in peculiar and embarrassing
positions. A good story is told of Sir
Henry Irving. the famous actor. When
young man, earning his laurels and
comparatively unknown. Shakespeares
play, Much Ado About Nothing, was
about to be presented to the public by
a certain manager of prominence. Irv-
ing had part assigned to him, which
he diligently studied. Letter perfect
in his lines, he felt assured of ultimate
success, but unfortunately the manager
disliked his acting of it. and took occa-
sion to censure him before the company,
much to his modification. Furthermore,
the manager took the part away. and
gave him another. less prominent, but
more difficult.
Years went by, and Irving steadily
climbed to fame that brought him
knighthood. while the critical Manager
gradually lost ground. One day, shortly
after Irving announced his intention of
producing Much Ado About Nothing,
the old manager presented himself, and
asked that part be assigned to him.
Irving granted the request, and gave
him the very part he had forced him to
play years before. During rehearsal
Irving narrowly watched the managers
acting, and at the conclusion went up to
him and shook his hand, after gravely
complimenting him upon his rendering
of the part. Then he promoted him to
the part from which he had been re-
duced. II never knew what Goals of
fire. meant till then" was the remark
overheard to make when Irving retired.

KILLING FOR SPORT.
BY SARAH X. BOLTON.

A pretty picture they make in the boat,
Drifting along by the river side;
He at the oars, while her fair white hand
Trolls at the stern in the ebbing tide.
Harkl for rustling sound is heard;
A timid deer has come down to drink;
A gentle creature with great brown eyes,
Standing alert on the rivers brink.
A bullet whistles along the air;
1t has struck the beautiful arching
neck;
The blood flows over the smooth, round
breast,
And begins the silvery stream to fleck.
The creature struggles in agony,
Asking for help with appealing eyes;
Half-rising, she staggers and falls again,
Then mutely suffers and slowly dies.
What heart could have wrought the cruel
deeds
Who quenched the life of the harmless
thingl
Alas it was done by the fair white hand,
And simply for sport, this suffering.
The picture is spoiled in the drifting
boat;
In the lovely foreground the deer lies
slain;
The girl was thoughtlessl but God for
give
The woman who ever causes pain.
= Golden Rule.

THE PRINCIPLE OF STORM

Professor Ferret formulated general
law, to the effect that wind moving in
a right line along the surface of the
earth in any direction tends to have it's
course DETECTED, owing to the earth's
rotation, to the right hand in the north
ern and to the left hand in the south
ern hemispheres. 1t became clear that
here is a key to the phenomena OF at
mospheric circulation, from the great
polar-equatorial maelstrom which mani.
tests itself in the trade-winds, to the
most circumscribed rifle which is an

more the phenomena were studied, the

The Maiden Soul.

A little angel-soul came winging down
from heaven; wistful angel at the
gate stood gazing earthward, "Stay, lit
tie Soul, I'll give to thee three kisses
last of all my earthly heritage. I kiss
thy rosy palm. that is for Life. l kiss
thy snow-white brow, that is for gentle

come, Life, Love and Death demanding

And thou art?" asked the soul. The
gates had swung apart, the angel gone.
Life met the angel soul and from her
palm the kiss took, saying. NOW are we
two one." And hand-in-hand with Life
the fair young soul walked through the
happy earthly ways. But though she
watched for Love. he came not near.
The kiss upon her mouth burned sweet
and pure. but Love came not to seek.
Men asked but were denied:
NAY, tits not mine to give. l keep it
at the angels word till Love demands
its own" And sad and slow men went
away-the maiden soul was left alone.
"Perchance it's l should seek" she
unused. Love may not know that l
have aught for him." And so she sought
afar, throughout the goodly earth, but
Love passed not her way.
And when at last dim, dusky, gentle
Death before her stood:

thy brow"

soul cried), given Love his duew

longer regarded as habituslly as an end
in himself. 1t is seen that his person
ality is contributory to larger being,
in which he is not lost; that he is modi-
fed by his environment, and that in turn
he modifes it. We recognize that we can
not isolate actions; that all we do has
reference to the whole and to eternity.
Out of the truth springs great
hope. Feeling welcomes the thought of
solidtiary and hallows it into fellowship.
There is among US, on all sides, in men
and in classes, growing acknowledge
ment of mutual duties and strenuous
endeavor to understand one another.
. Our dangers spring out Of the vast
industrial development in which we
commonly find our national glory. The
rapid, il precarious. accumulation of
wealth has disturbed the power of

POULTK Y.

1t is strange that country like ours,
containing ample territory and export
ing so much cheap wheat, does not pro-
duce enough eggs for home consump-
ton. When the tariff was five cents
dozen we imported over 81 000,0 900 worth.
Rather than ship SO much raw material
let us turn it into eggs.
Dampness in a poultry house means
sick fowls. The surroundings should
be such that after a rain the water will
rapidly disappear.
The rays of the morning sun should
strike into the poultry room; it is mis-.
take to put all the windows on the south
side. 1t is good plan to have belong

herself in the bright rays.
If you have coop large enough,
properly located, built on dry ground,
air tight. with good floor, you are
properly fortified for a remunerative
crop of eggs next winter, whatever your

provide an egg making ration. After

HORTICULTURE.

Berry plants never produce again
after they have brought forth one crop;
a new plant must be grown every year
for the next seasons crop.
Plants become completely exhausted
in the effort to bear fruit and mature
seed, and then offer an abiding place
for disease germs and for the eggs of flu
ture insect pests.
Four or FIVE vigorous raspberry canes
in each hill are sufficient for best re-
suits. Remove not only the old canes,
but the weak and unthrifty ones.
Rather have fruits thinned out too
much than have them too thick. To
reach their highest perfection they must
not be over crowded.
The fruit grower should remember
that in preparing the soil, in selecting
plants, in hoeing, cultivating. pruning,
thinning, protecting. and in every de-
tail, he is performing an important part
in the quantity and quality OF his fruit

When the tops of onions fall over they
are ready to harvest There is no ad-
vantage in leaving them on the ground
after they have cured; three or four
days are sufficient for this.
After onions are cured cut the tops off
about one inch long; they will keep bet
ter than if cut off close to the bulb.

times, indeed, the local eddy, caught as

three hundred miles across. But quite
without regard to the size of the whirl,
the air composing it conducts itself
always in one of two ways. 1t never
whirls in concentric circles; it always
either rushes in toward the center in a
descending spiral, in which case it is
called cyclone, or it spreads out from
the center in widening spiral, in which
case it is called an anti-cyclone. The
word cyclone is associated in popular
phraseology with terrific storm, but it
has no such restriction in technical
usage. A gentle zephyr flowing toward

clone to the meteorological as is the
whirl constituting West Indian hurri-

But the in-rushing currents never come
straight to their mark. In accordance
with Ferrel's law, they are detected to

Certain Dispensary Patients.

During the examination of dispen-
sary patient a roll of bills dropped from
her pocket. The doctor picked it up
and remarked: Madam. this is free
dispensary; and as you are able to pay
fee for medical advice, must decline to
treat you here WE'LL replied the
woman. that money is for something
else. You are paid by the city and must
prescribe for me- On being assured
that the doctor received no salary from
any source, the patient became indig-
nant and protested that she was en-
titled to attention equally with the lady
who had preceded her. and from whom
she had rented house the week be-
fore"
A still more striking case is related by
another physician;
"a wretchedly clad woman presented
herself to me at the dispensary and
asked for treatment. She gave a name
that l afterward found was assumed.
She was badly in need of attention, and
said she could not pay. 1 believed her,
and agreed to treat her. 1t was an in
teresting case; and she consented to ap-
pear before the class of fifty or sixty
doctors.
Zone day, after she had been before
the class several times and treated, |
was driving with my wife in Central
Park. We were passed by magnificent
team and carriage spanking horses,
nobby coachman and footman. and gilt
tering harness. In the carriage was
lady whose features we're familiar; but |
could not remember where l had seen
her. That same day my charity patient
presented herself. attired as usual in the
poorest OF clothes. l recognized her as
the lady of the fine turnout. said no.
thing, as | thought l would investigate.
A few days later saw the same carriage
in front of fashionable shop. and got
good view of my patient as she alighted.
When she next presented herself l
asked her for her real name. She gave
me her assumed dispensary name. Then
l told her she was deceiving me, and
she finally disclosed her identity. She
was the wife of man known all over
the city as a millionaire. l sent bill
to her husband, and it was paid without
word.'-Dr. George p. Shrddy. an the
