Perpetual Motion by Proteetion.

The California argument for higher
fruit duties is sort of perpetual mo-
tion. The only disadvantage the Cali
fornian 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 profitableness 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
of the land makes large item in a
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
duties on hides and increased duties on
fruit and the cheapest sorts of wool.
The increased duty adds to the profits
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 =

Wives on Probation.

The Andaman islands are used by
Great Britain as penal settlement for
Indian and Burmese convicts.
The greater part of the life convicts
who are good characters are self sup
porters' that is, men out OH ticket of
leave in the settlement. These men are
allowed to marry. The convict women,
on the other hand, are always kept un-
der close supervision in the female con-
vict Jail.
When the 'sself supporter is troubled
with hymeneal aspirations, he visits the
female Jail and informs the oyerseer.
The latter individual orders parade
of those women of good character who
have completed four years ON the island.
The would be benedict then passes
along the ranks with view of select
ing likely helpmate.
At length, having suited himself, he
takes by the hand the lady of his choice
and leads her from the ranks. The cou-
pie are then allowed half an hour in
which to discuss matters, after which,
if they agree, their names are sent into
the Office. And now comes the climax.
Supposing satisfactory answers have
been given as to their mutual senti-
ments, the lady is handed over to the
man not to become his wife for better
or worse. but for a seven days trial.
During these seven days she lives with
him, and the relationship of the pair is
that of a married couple.
At the expiration Of the term of ap-
proval, if both are agreeable, they re-
turn to the chief commissioners Office
and are married by that gentleman. If,
on the other hand, either Of them does
not approve of the other, the man is left
to go his way, while the woman returns
10 her old routine of work in the jail.

Royalty at work.

Royal ladies are the busiest in the
world. AS rule they are early risers,
and have managed to accomplish vast
amount of reading and writing before
the ordinary society woman is up.
Queen Victoria is familiar with at least
half dozen European languages, and
even at her present age does not feel
that she has finished her education, but
grapples daily with the difficulties of
Hindustani. Empress Frederick of Ger
many still pursues the study of music
ind painting with the zeal of young
girl; and the younger empress, her
daughter-in-law, besides looking after
her house and children, rises early to
copy important documents for the EN-
peror. The Belgian queen and Austrian
empress in former days employed their
leisure in the study of Greek and in
breaking in" pet ponies. The dowager
empress of Russia and the princess of
Wales have tastes in common; both are

asugar Trust Exists No Longer.

We are assured by The Sugar Trade
journal of May 1S-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
ful news The journal was discussing
an amendment to the senate bin to have
refined sugars pay the same duties as
raw sugars in cases where the mannfac-
ture is controlled by monopoly. If this
visionary proposal should pass the
senate, it would jeopardize the tariff
bill aud the Sugar trusts tens oi
millions of surplus profits, which are SC
near at hand that the mouths Of Have
meyer and Searles arewatering for them.
The Sugar trust trembles at the prospect
and tries to keep up its courage by hav-
ing its organ inform the world that "A
lot of such visionary proposals will, nc
doubt, be introduced while the bill is
under discussion, but in the end the
sound Judgment men will control and q
tariff bill be passed without very much
change from the senate schedule. y
The trust may be right. 1t usually is,
for it can predict what will happen tc

its agents and tools in the senate, and
it also knows the power of those who
make demands to enforce them. 1t puts

600, 900 people, and it knows from ex-
perienoe which has most weight in the
senate, where two OF three hold the bal
ance of power.
No, there is no sugar trust and never
was one.

The CAPE or STORMS.

We may steer our boats by the compass,
Or may follow the northern star;
We may carry chart on shipboard
AS we sail Ger the seas afar,
But, whether by star or by compass
We may guide our boats on our way,
The grim Cape of Storms is before US.
And we'll see it ahead some day.
How the prov may point is no matter.
Nor of what the cargo may be,
If we sail on the northern ocean
Or away on the southern sea;
1t matters not what is the pilot,
To what guidance our course conforms;
No vessel sails o'er the sea of life
But must pass the Cape of Storms.
Sometimes we can first sight the head

On the distant horizons brim;
We enter the dangerous waters
With our vessels all taut and trim;
But often the cape in its grimness
VIII before us suddenly rise,
Because of the clouds that have hid It
Or the binding sun in our eyes.
Our souls will be caught In the waters
That are hurled 'gainst the Storm Cape's
face;
Our pleasures and joys. our hopes and
fears,
VIII join in the maddening race,
Our prayers, desires, our penitent griefs,
Our longings and passionate pain,
Be dashed to spray on the stormy cape
And fly back In our face like rain.
But there's always hope for the sailor,
There is ever a passage through

MULE HOOF HOG.
Raxorbacks Not Marker to 1t in In
teligence.


Raxorbaclxs Not a Marker to 1t in In
telIigence.
There Is farmer living near Syl-
gania who has propagated new kind OF
yineless potato, which is all the talk
around here now. The potato, so his
neighbors say, grows entirely under
ground, and requires no cultivation
whatever. He also raises a crop of hay
on the same ground and at the same
time the potatoes are growing, neither
crop requiring any work.
The question, of course, arises: How
can the potatoes be gathered when
there are no vines to show where they
are growing? This difficulty the farm
err overcomes in a remarkable manner.
He has an old SOW, of the mule-hoof
variety, that he has run out of his fields
so often that she squeals every time
he starts after her. When he wants a
mess of potatoes he takes his rocking
chair and basket to the patch and TURNS
the SOW in. He then makes himself
comfortable in the chair, while the SOW
begins to root. As soon as a potato is
lound she seizes it in her mouth and
makes break to get away. From
force Of habit, however, she squeals
when she starts, and, this causing her
to open her mouth, the potato drops.
The farmer, as soon as he hears squeal,
hastens at once to thespot, picks up the
potato and puts it in his basket. He
then composes himself in the chair un-
til he hears another squeal, and so on
until the basket is filled. He never gives
the sotv as much as she wants to eat,
SO that she is always hungry and in good
roofing trim.
The mule-hoof hogs are wonderfully
bright, and can be trained almost like a
pointer dog. The seed of the vineless
potato will, of course, be in great de-
mand when it becomes better known,
but as it will be useless without the hog
the farmer is raising both for market,
and intends to throw in young mule
hoof rooter with every bushel of po-
tatoes that he sells.-Savannah (Ga.)

Swapping Free Hides For DuLlaDle sugar
The senate tariff bill as whole, .
says ex Congressman John De Witt
Warner, is a notice to eastern manu-
facturers of what they may hereafter
expect. Hitherto they have considered
protection as a sort of providential ar
rangement by which they were enabled
to feed on the rest of the country. Now,
like Polonius in Hamlet, they are in
vited by "a certain conyoeation of polite
worms to supper not where they eat,
but where they are eaten. The manu-
facturers of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania are to take their turn
at being mulcted for the benefit Of 9TH
ers who now control legislation. This
applies especially to the hide schedule "
Cannot the New England senators
secure favorable changes in that sched-
ule?'
81 think not. The bill as it stands is
satisfactory to the Sugar trust and prob
ably cannot be kept so except by the
votes controlled by the Cattle trust of
the west. We're the New England sena-
tors willing to risk offending the Sugar
trust, they could doubtless defeat the
duty OH hides, but the fact is that Bos-
ton and Providence, in proportion to
their size, are far more thoroughly sat
urated with Sugar trust influences than
is any other part of the country, and,
however much Senators Aldrieh, Wet
more, Hoar and Lodge may bewail the
fate of their boot and shoe manufac-
turers, there is no prospect whatever
that they will sacrifice the Sugar trust
interests to help them.

as much as does fairly handsome

lines with the paste for raised work that
can be purchased from any dealer in

and when it is dry paint over the whole

be complete. If the pictures are well
chosen, it will make good effect at all
times, but when the lamp is lighted it
gains an additional beauty from the fact
that the light shining back of the pic
lures lends them quality which great
ly enhances their value Flowers and
small landscapes can be and are used,
but the picturesque figures are at once
more fashionable and more desirable

Far down the road which gleameth fair,
These witehing sprites bedecked in green,
With radiant shocks of yellow hair.
From where the fence, time worn and gray,
Goes wandering restless, in and out,
They peep and whisper, "Come this way"
Then toss their sunny heads about.
And down the meadow, up the hill,
Beguilingly the coquettes stand
And seek to draw my footsteps still
A-farther on in fairyland.

amount to something over | cent per bag on

you on your recent invoice is the lowest which
we can offer on the present market. Yours

live in this section of the country need
not imagine that the increased price of
bags concerns them. The foreigner has
to pay it.
