THE WOOL MARKET.

Boston's wool market--and Boston is
still the center of the wool trade for all
New York's attempt at competition-is
feeling a wholesome effect from the Ding
ley tariff.
Tho idea that the wooden manufacturers
bought all the wool they wanted at the
market price before the Dingley schedule
became part of an act, is popular de-
lusion that doesn't hold water.
IL takes lot of ready money TO buy
enough wool to run "a sizaple mill six
months-and very few manufacturers
have enough capital to spare TO swing
even such an account
Some of the largest mills, indeed, are
reported To be already buying wool at
current prices. Probably thoy bought a
good deal before the Din gley bill was
passed. But they will need more and
now Is good time TO subscribe.
And when all the mills, big and little.
get ready to start up, tho wool will boom.
We await with interest tho effect on the
manufactured product.
One thing is certain, however, tho
farmer and the laborer will have good
cash to pay for the goods.
Under the Wilson law nothing could
bo produced cheap enough for them to be
able TO afford to buy.

BULLET PROOF CLOTH.

A bullet proof cloth that is actually bull
lot proof appears TO be an accomplished
fact.
A man of peace and monk is its inven-
tor, aud tosts of his device at Fort Sheri-
dan, the other day. demonstrated that
the new army rifle bullet which eau
bore man clear through at range of
two miles and pierce armor plato, was
flattened against tho cloth at 400 yards
and with repeated tests at constantly re-
duced distances penetrated only four
layers of tho cloth at 200 yards.
The test was tremendous surprise TO
the military experts to whom bullet
proof cloth is of the nature of dreams
only, as perpetual motion is to the scholar
in mechanics.
The inventor is sanguine of securing
the same resistance in ono thickness of
his cloth that the tests demonstrated was
possessed by five layers But even with
ilve thicknesses the cloth Is practicable
for use as padding in soldiers coats.

Massachusetts, millners are probably
highly relieved by the opinion of tho at
torney general Of the state that the act
Of tho Great and General Court 10 pro-
hibit the wearing of stuffed birds as
ornaments on woman's headgear, can
only be applied &c such millinery when
the birds arc killed OH the soil. in the
treos, or in the air of Massachusetts.
A good deal OF discussion has been
INDUCED in over the act and the defenders
of the birds naturally plumed themselves
on securing such legislation. IL caused "a
furry among womankiDd i'm the Old
Bay State and the business OF tho mil
liners is said TO have been badly damaged
through fear Of their patrons TO order bird
ornamentation lest they be arrested under
the law.
1t will evidently be difficult 10 prove
from what locality the stuffed bird on the
hat came from, and, according TO the attor-
ney generals opinion, proof must be had
before there can be conviction for wear
ing the same.
This renders the law practically null
bird trimming unless fashion says mo.
Still the wickedness OF it is apparent.
Perhaps Dame Fashion and women who
kneel Co her may some day let the birds
alone and quit siaughtering them. And it
is probably not outside the province of the
Legislature 20 declare that no birds,
wherever they may have been killed, shall
be worn as ornamentGtion, they or their
feathers. Game laws prohibiting the
ruthless killing of edible wild birds in
certain seasons are constitutional. Why
shouldn't n Legislature enact "A law to pro-
tect other birds by denying their stuffed
bodies and wings Co fashion,
1t would DO better, though If woman
herself should unite for the protection of
the birds by compelling fashion TO let
them alone.

TEA TABLE TALK

Speaking of doctors. / learned what

You frequently run across most alarm

MINERS NOT TOUGHS.

To compare Bret Hsrte and Buffalo Bill
with each other may at first seem entirely
out of order, so strong is the contrast in
most particulars, and yet they are alike
in this, that both. without intending to

this part of the union, if they have not

in fact, exist.
Buffalo Bill has done 10 with his wild
west show, and in consequence thousands

eastern part of the United States think

and that travel by stage is fraught with

ing the principal characters Of far western
towns as rough and illiterate. though IL
may be honest. men who use form OF
speech which one would have to 90 far to

One is reminded of this by criticism
which recently appeared in the Chicago
Tribune upon Juuge Frances little COL

ploy what ho calls parlor English. Tie

that the miners are ignorant OF good En-
gllsh, ana he probably alS1 tnlnKs Inat

camps, or, IL may be, far western towns in
general.
While every now and then one oncoun
ters proSpectors or miners who having
lived isolated lives for many years, have
acquired peculiarities Of speech. these are,
as "a matter of fact, exceptions. AS afule
miners belong 20 tho class composed in

But in addition there arc thousands of
men living in mining camps and wear
