FORMER Senator Washburn is Il

the tariff question. Many readers
of the MESSAGE may be Interested

"Steel rails can be manufacture

the best information have been
able to gather, steel rails can be
manufactured ut about SIG per
ton. Sold us they We're two and Il
half years ago mt $3.50, there was
a profit of 81 80 per ton, which is
more than the profit on flour ut 10
cents per barrel, and that is Il
larger profit than is averaged by
the Touring mills of this country.
Yet such rails are now being sold
at $2S per ton, making it easy to

what sum would be required TO re-

isfed that they can be reproduced

The consequence is that the people
and consumers Of the country are
being taxed to this enormous eX-
tent in order that the trusts and
consultations may pay such divi-
dends. And yet, with this condi-
ton of things, we now have a du-
ty of 81 so per ton on steel rails I!

Hawaiian Islands.
Few countries have suffered more
from the introduction OF insect pests
than the Hawaiian islands. The two
chief products of these islands are
sugar and coffee, while considerable
amount of fruit is also grown. Along
with the imported trees came their in
sect enemies, notably the scale insect
and the aphis. In the course Of time
these increased so prodigiously that
they threatened to destroy the indus
tries of the country. Man is doomed

So it was in this case. The trees were

tain ladybird tVedalla cardinalis) was
sent over from Australia. II became
completely naturalized, and increased
prodigously, feeding on the scale in
sects, which it soon reduced in num-

scarce. But there were other insect
plaEues-aphides and others of differ
ent orders. The government therefore
employed a naturalist to import more
insects. These were brought from
Australia. and many of them have es-
tablished themselves and done good

CARNEGiE'S SCOTCH HOME.
Skibo Castle Has Been Transformed at

n Cost Of 100000.
For over year Skibo castle, Andrew
Carnegie's residence in the Scottish
Highlands, has been in the hands of a
large staff of workmen. The castle has
been transformed at a cost OF about
& 10000, and is now practically new
building, very much enlarged and suit
ed for the favorite dwelling of a multi
millionaire and steel trust magnate.
A new hall has been constructed with
u white Sicilian marble staircase and
deliberately paneled ceiling. The draw
ing room, boudoirs, and library are es-
peCially handsome in fibrous plaster
decoration. Oak has been extensively
used in finishing off the other public
rooms. The gun room, which placed
unuer the billiard room, is rs feet 8
inches by 81 feet, with an outside en-
trance for the gillies. The roof OF the
tower Is fiat, and from here a magnif1-
cent view is had. The castle stands
high, and the front elevation has an
imposing effect miles away. AS Skibo
is out of the workaday world-it is five
miles from Dornosch, in Sutherland
shire, which, in turn, is six miles from

erected for the workmen, and a tenn

| hear from Copenhagen. of all
places, that the quantity of jewelry in
the private treasury of the late queen
beSgars imagination. While slow to
believe in amazing things. the amount
Of wealth locked w in her jewels must
have been well nigh incalculable. The
golden jubilee gifts of iewelry alone
would be convertible into a great for
tune. The donors must have been
brainy people to make such presents to
an aged sovereign who could not wear
them. IL Is pity that royal wills are
not subjected to the same publicity as
the Wills OF private people. The ways
Of royalty have been kept too dark
since the house of Hanover came to
England. All the queens consort
boarded except the two Carolines. The
first Caroline spent with good judg.
ment and generosity. The second Car
oline was profuse in spending on her
adopted son and her favorite Italian
courier and his children. But Augusta.
princess of Wales, who did without
servants, boarded. Queen Charlotte
boarded, and received presents from
shady "nabobs," Queen Adelaide gave
away good deal in charity, but she
also boarded out of her astonishingly
large civil list allowance. Queen Char.
lotte winked at the amours of the
prince regent with ladies of rank in
the hope that he would give her jewels.
She never chilled Lady Jersey or Lady
Hartford at any of her receptions.
This policy had the effect of swelling
her treasury. She gave away a great
deal of jewelry to her children. The
residue valued at e14O,OOO, she left to
her unmarried daughters.

how taking it off in this instance
helped the monopolistS. Just the

It's all evil and teaches us to pray
lead us not into temptation but
deliver us from evil Therefore
we can have no choice between
evils, for both are sinful aud sin
is death. To say that anything is
IL necessary evil is to charge God
with folly'-with more than folly,
with crime in forcing his creatures
to sin. For, if evil is necessary,
we cannot avoid it, which is con-
trary to both reason and expert
ence as well aS Gods word. The
choice is between good and evil;
between life and death; between
God and satan, who is the evil

In answer to your question may

that good never follows evil AS a

than wheat could follow the sow

That is Gods law in nature and

tares; he who sows evil reaps evil;
he who sows the wind reaps the
whirlwind. God may sometimes
appear to follow evil, but it is on

sometimes appears as an angel of
