Heads Turned Red by Eating.

Mocking birds are great epicures in
their way, feeding on oranges, the ber-
ries of the palmetto and those of the
china tree, apples, pears, cherries,
peaches, blackberries and other small
fruits. On the island Of Key West
they eat so freely the bright red prickly
pears that grow on a kind of cactus
that their bills, heads and Threats be-
come dyed as if with vermilion.

A HINT TO MR.. RARcocK.

The advocates of the proposition to
remove the duties now levied on iron
and steel must advance some other ar
gument besides the democratic war
cry, The tariff breeds trusts" There
is neither logic nor common sense in
such a statement. The principle of a
protective tariff advocated by the re-
publican party is as sound today as it
was in 1896, and its maintenance as
an essential factor of the administra-
tive policy is as necessary now as it
was then. However rapidly changes
may come in the experience of gov
erAments they do not tread upon each
others heels at such a rate as to call
for complete revolution, or the utter
abandonment of an economic policy
the adoption of which has resulted in
such a marvellous Improvement in our
Industrial condition during the past
four years.
No doubt Mr.. Babcock will keep
these facts in mind while preparing
his program for the next session of
congress. Protection, and not free
trade, was Endorsed by the voters at

visited that city and Toxic. One of
therl hired a bicycle, and was taking
a ride about the streets of Yokohama
when he ran down an elderly Japanese
man. The soldier rang his bell several
times, but the Japanese apparently
paid no attention to it, and the Ameri

and taken to court, where he was fined

done everything possible to avert the
accident, and asked why the man made
no attempt to get out of the way. The
policeman then told him that the man
was blind. The soldier looked dazed
for minute, then felt in his pocket
and brought out a $40 bill. Here, he
said, it's the last I've got, but he can

PROTECTION.

PROTECTION-
Now it is announced from London
that the Welsh tin plate industry,
which has already been stricken by
American competition. is menaced by
early extinction, owing to the failure
of the employers to agree on scale
of wages"
When these Welsh makers monopo-
Hzed the market, as they did before the
Mckinley tariff, they had a hard and
fast trust of their own which dictated
prices to the helpless Yankees, and
wages to the helpless workmen. But
American rivalry has changed all this.
Our mills, with improved machinery
and better paid labor, have not only
gained the American market. but are
cutting into the markets of the Welsh
combine abroad.
The comic side of it all is that the
protective duty of the Mckinley tar
if was vociferously opposed by the
professional foes of monopoly. AS a
practical result it has smashed monop-
oily, and in the long run it is certain
to give the mastery in one more branch
of the great iron and steel trade to the

No port lamps CLEAN along our sides,
No banners float on high;
No human lookout raises glass
To scan our seas or sky.
No Admirals above our decks
Mid guns and gunners stand;
In hidden sheath to send the sound
OF warlike, stern command.
Yet all the navies of the world
Our bows in vain assail;
We fear no smoking battle tower
That thunders through the gale.
By captains gray our path is marked,
By sailors white and cd;
For US the phantom rockets glare
And phantom bells are tolleG.
In misty, aforementioned ports
Our beacon lights We set
By hands long gone from mortal view,
By forms that men forget.
And we may wander on our course
Till time at end shall be.
For in our breasts are locked the huils
OF ships once lost at sea.

The disconnected worries of a mo-

natures arrangement provides that
his early departure should entail no

man who can laugh keeps his health.
To the perfectly healthy laughter
comes often Too commonly. though,
as childhood is left behind, the habit
fails, and half smile is the best that
visits the thought-lined mouth of a
modern man or woman. People be-

the accumulations of knowledge and
with the weighing responsibilities of
life, but they should still spare time to
laugh.
