The much vaunted reciprocity con- yention, the convention which was to settle all tile presidents doubts, to outline q policy and serve as q guide to the republicans in congress in their handling of the reciprocity question, has come and gone and all that it has done is to leave behind it the mangled remains of President Mckinley $ broad-minded policy and young man in the white house sadly disappointed and mortified at the sordid narrow mindedness which made it impossible for the leading republican business men of the country to take any broad CT view of a national policy than that which was bounded by their own petty interests. There is no promise of any Mckinley outlined at Buffalo by the next congress. The high protection interests have control of a handsome majority of the votes and, with the usual discipline of the republican ma- chine, members who come from the west surcharged with tariff reform ideas are promptly and emphatically unflpceived as to the complexion of their views and those of their constit- uents. The only cloud on the pro tectionistS' horizon is sugar. The sugar trust wants free raw sugar and I understand that Mir Havemeyer has announced that Cuban sugar will be admitted free This and similar ru mors will not down and they almost cause mysteries among some of tho eastern protection interests.

THE TONES OF BELLS.

Did you eyer notice the difference in the sound and intonation of the bells that ring at different times of the day and night?'' inquired an obser- want citizen recently. "There IS q difference and it is very pronounced. The chiming seems to take on some what of the activities of the hour This ringing has always reminded me of s description l once read by DICK ems on waking London-a very clever little sketch, by the way. but one that might be applied to any other large city which gradually breaks through the quiet of the night to take on the rumble and roar of modern business. There is the early morning bell which calls the artisan from his slumberous couch, the o'clock bell which tells the toiler that he has but an hour in which to make it to the factory, the shop or other working place. Did you ever notice how much like a call it sounds as the changing falls on the crisp morning air? It is the hour when the lark is up to meet the sun. and the bee is on the wing the hour when all toilerS must shake the sleep from their eyes and take on the breast work for the days battles 1t is the bugle call of peaceful pursuits and then one begins to hear the batter of feet, and the slow rumble of wagons, and the hum of the little activities about the home. and then the roar finally rises to the high pitch of indistin- guishable sounds which mark the com mercial and industrial activities of the modern city. 1t all started with the , o'clock bell. Then the bell at 6, and ', and on up to the noon hour calls out the indifference just to mark the flight of the hours. Then the deep toned bell of the noon hour clangs out, the steam is shut off, the factories close down for a spell, and the multiplex ac- tivfties of industry come to stand still. while the toilers hustle down the street to some place where they re- freshen their yitalities and equip them selves for the afternoon run of things. The bell keeps ringing on the hour, but the call does not become distinctive until the sun has slipped far down the slope to the rim of the horizon, and then one may hear that calm and peaceful changing which calls the weaver from his loom and the bell is ringing at 6 D. m. and the business of the world closes for the day and the toiler makes his way weary and soot- stained with the grime of the factory to his home. How much of the hour there is in the clang of the bell! The clapper seems to fall against the sides of the bell with somewhat of the weariness of the hour. and the intona- ton seems to shamble out on the air as if athirst for that sweet repose comes with the nights falling. It is that soft and soothing sound which bids one come home sound moro sweet than the honest watchdog's bark as he bays deep-mouthed welcome, and the noisy world with it's complex activities recedes and the toiler is soon dead to the life which is sapping so much of his brawn and his brain. Yes. there is much of the hour in the sound of the bell and life's poetry is refined and sublimated ill every clang of the clapper.-New Orleans Times Democrat

MUSIC IN WAR.

One would imagine that in fighting the most mobile of enemies the Brit iSh in South Africa would relieve themselves so far as they could of impediments This does not seem to have been the rule if one may judge from an order recently issued by Lord Kitchener, which deserves to take high rank among the unique and curious in army orders. This was the text of tAe order as given in the daily press.
 1.-The ommander-in-chief in South Africa desires to impress officers in command of mobile columns that the object of such columns is mobility, and that he has learned that such forces carry with them furniture, kitchen ranges, pianos and harmon iums, which nu1lify that object. These articles must be handed over to the nearest stores.
 It must have brought q smile to the face of the grim Delarey and Botha hiding in ambush to see the English columns struggling across the yeldt loaded down with musical instruments enough to it out the orchestra at Co., vent Garden theater. Whether this striving after the artistic in w;irfare is the result of Rudyard kiplings presence with the army in the first months of the conflict and his frequent poetic outbllrsts is not easy to say, but there have been accompaniments to the campaign from the brilliant-hued flock of London society ladies acting as nurses to the curled darlings of Eng lish drawing rooms serving as officers, which make these piano eposides not wholly unexpected or surprising.
 Tn our civil war the banjo and con certina used to appear to while away the tedium Of camp life, but it is not on record that the musical tastes of our soldiers ever called for anything that could not be tucked under the arm. It is remembered, however, that after the capture of Port Royal by the squadron under Dupont pianos left in Beaufort by the fleeing inhabitants found their way on board men-of-war so the troops of Lord Kitchener would appear to have q precedent for this in- dulgenee of their musical tastes ill time of war; The results of the pres ent revelation of the hunger of march, ing soldiers for high class music are not easy to foresee. Sentimental friends of the army whose zeal i'll its interest touches all things from the canteen to rations may yet arise and demand that department of music be added to our military household that shall be able to satisfy this musi- cal craving of the soldier as well on a "hike" as i'll garrison. Especially may we look for this suggestion from the New England quarter, where the Garrisons and Atkinsons are continu- ally seeking means to soften the war rior's heart and lessen the stern aspects of war MT Garrison would no doubt be willing to set his anti imperial sonnets to music for the bene- fit of our soldiers. The fitness of music to 'ssoothe the savage s breast'' may excite visions of two contending armies melting into brotherly. frater- nization through the Influence of Beethoven's zsonatas. Then indeed may we dream with Shakespeare that Grim-visagedswar hath smoothed his

FALSE ECONOMY A DESTROYER.

What would you think of an engi- 11eer who would try to economize on lubricating oil, at the expense of lis machinery or engine? We should say that he was very foolish, but many of us do much more foolish things for, while we do not economiZe oll that which would injure inanimatc machinery, we economize in cheerful ness, in recreation, in play. in health full amusements, which would lubri- cate life's mechanism and make it last longer.
 How many of us allow the delicate machinery of our bodies. so wonder fully made. to run without lublica- tioh. until it is so worn. rasped and ground away by friction that the whole being jars and shakes. as 1t were. when it should run noiselessly and unconsciously.
 We econolnize ill our friendships by neglecting tliem;. we econonaize ill ulir social life until we are obliged to pause i'll our life work because ;he axles, so to speak, have become dry, and we have to stop life's train every little while because of the hot boxes: whereas, if we would only take our fun ;s we go along every day--if we would only lubricate our bearings by taking q few minutes here and there to see the ludicrous side. of life or have little chat with q friend, we might avoid much physical misery and many things detrimental to health.
 How unfortunate it is, that the poor. the people who should pay. the least for things, pay the highest price for nearly everything prices which even people ill better circumstances cannot afford.
 l They buy shoes which almost come 1 to pieces the first time they put them on. and purchase clothing which lips and has to be constantly sewed and ! renewed, and which never looks neat. 1 They buy coal by the bucketful, even when they could better afford to buy l it by the ton. thus paying two or thre. ; times what it is worth They buy l cheap groceries, which is the worst
 kind of economy: adulterated spices because they are cheaper; poor soaps, i poor eyerything-and this is the worst kind of economy.
 The poor would be shocked if they i were told they were more extrava- gant than the we1l-to-do It is not d. ways because they cannot, afford to i buy i'll quantities, but they do not think. These people rarely calculate .or use paper and pencil to fignre our the cost. If poor people woiild learn how to use their brains, and learn to 1 figure more how to buy. with even 1 their small means. to tile best possible advantage, and how to use the best economy-not for the day merely, but sfn the. long TqIn-tlev could greatlv ilii. prove their condition.

IMPORTANCE OF CLOTHING.

It is 9 comparatively easy matter fo select the clothing that will be health full and appropriate to our needs. and the rules regarding it are almost gen eral ill application. It must be light and cool in summer, adapted to the climate in which we live. In winter it must combine warmth with light ness. With overheated houses, we are apt to err in wearing too many clothes while indoors. and too few out side. An eEen temperature of the body should be maintained, and to do this it would be better to put on an extra wrap when going outdoors than to suffer from an excess i'll room heated by steam or hot air. Foo much clothing has facilitating effect on the body, by preventing the proper action of the skin ill ejecting through the pores the waste matter thrown off by the system. This waste matter. de nied it's natural outlet. is forced back to mingle with and poison tlle blood The actual weight of excessive cloth ing also hampers the free use of the limbs and fatigues the body, by throwing unnecessary work upon it.
 
 ishing evils. but still exist to such an extent as not to make q warning SUI perfluous. Both of these render pro- per breathing impossible, and by pres sing the intestinal organs, impede di- gestion They throw the body out of poise, making all healthful exercise irksome and fatigling, in consequence of the greater muscular strain in volyed by any form of .exertion. Tight boots, excessively high heels, and the present unbecolning, high tight collars are equally injurious to tile graceful boise of the body and the health of the wearer. The man and woman train ing for longevity or desirous of lead ing q useful, happy life, will avoic these evils as they would the contagior of death-dealing disease. December Success.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER p, 1901.

srhe incorporation of the Northern Securities company, whereby practi- callv all the important railroad sys- tems of the northwest have been nlaced under q common management, which will enable them to raise rates to any figure desired, is expected to drive congress to radically amend the interstate commerce law. In the last congress q measure known as the .sCullom bill'' was introduced at the instance of q convention of shippers. After remaining ill committee Tor months it was finally reported ad- yersely and placed on the senate cal endar. where it remained until the end of the session. It was opposed both by those of the committee who thought it too severe against the rail- roads and those who thought that it was not severe enough, and MT Cul- .lom had to choose between an adverse report and none at all. This bill will be re-introduced and pushed. Aside from its amendments looking to great CT facilities in administering the law, it confers on the commission the pow CT to fix maximum rates and to pre- scribe q uniform classification for ar ticles of freight, both of which rights are considered imperative to prevent extortion in railway rates.

The senate being in q way practi- cally to begin work, may and prob ably will take up the Nicaraguan ca nal matter soon after assembling. It is understood that the treaty with Great Britain on the subject will be sent to the senate without delay by President Roosevelt It will be re ferred to the committee on foreign re lations, which will be headed by Sena- tor Cullom, and which, generally speaking. is composed of members who favorably reported the amended treaty of last spring. The new treaty is supposed to be drawn on identical lines with this, so that there is un- likely to be any objection to it, and it is quite possible that it may be re- ported and even adopted by the senate before the holidays. The next thing will be to adopt q bill for beginning the work. Mir Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the interstate and for eign commerce committee Of the house, has announced that he will introduce at once the canal bill which passed the house. at the last session and was side-tracked in the senate to await the result of British action on the treaty. Mir Hepburn anticipates no delay in re-adopting this, and, in view of the undoubted fact that the senate is ia yorable to immediate action, the chances are that the bill will become law by the end of February, if not sooner.

A TRuUTaS MEMORY.


 As to the fact of memory in fishes, the late Seth Green, the father of American fish culture, was able to give at least one striking example of it, an example which, doubtless, many peo- Die to-day have a pleasant recollection of, for no one visited. the state hatch cry at. Caledonia. N. Y. in those days Without witnessing that interesting ex- hibitiens Tn one of inc inclosed poils at the hatchery among many otber trout was one very large one. which always came very promptly forward 10 De seen when visitors appeared. 1t was Mf Greens fayorite custom. after calllng the visitors attention to that trout i'll particular, to raise his caile quickly and hold it over the water to- ward the trout but as that perform ance mad no effect on the trout the wis Itor would wonder what it's object might De. He was not long kept won- derlng, for, requesting the visitor to note now impassive the fish was under the walking stick, AIr Green would produce light trout rod. all equipped for casting, and appear with it at .Ee side of the pool.
 Instantly that trout would turn and 1lee as if in terror. hide itse1f at fhe far end of the inclosure, and remain there so long as the rod was in sight lhe explanation of this surprising change in the trout's demeanor was brief but amazing. One day, early in the career of the fish. MT Green to try q harbless hook he had devised. east With one in that pool. and this trout selzed 1t. The hook penetrated and passed through it's upper jaw. near tie nostrll and by the time it was lifted rom the water, released from the hook and returned to it's element. it had un- dergone an experience that made a lasting impression upon it, as the se- quel amply proved.
 MT Green discovered shortly after the hooking of the trout, that when ever he approached the pool with his rod, the trout would instantly dash to q place of hiding. although it paid no attention to q cane OF other stick =lleld over the water. The trout lived for years in that pool. and never failed to show it's fear of that trout rod. or any other one, as long as it lived.
