Smell n Metals.

Some metals have n very much more
pronounced smell than others. The
smell Of tin especially when newly cut,
is unmistakable, but it is a moot point
whether gold or platinum has any smell
that could be recognized by human OIL
factory organs. OF the rarer metals
uranium and all its compounds give the
strongest smell and this gives us the
reason why metals should have an
odor. Uranium is always giving of
what are known as the Becquerel rays,

VIII Not Succeed.

The free trade agitators who are anx-
ious to precipitate a tariff contest at
the next session of Congress are trying
to make it appear that the wool manu-
facturers will urge a reduction i'll the
tariff on wool, regardless of the effect
Of such action upon the wool growers
Of this country.
That, however, is denied by an East
ern commercial newspaper, which
claims to know the sentiment of the
wool manufacturers. 1t says that the
attitude of the manufacturers toward
the wool growers is the same to-day
that it has been during the past seven
ty-five years. While it is true that the
tariff on wool has operated against the
manufacturers of woolens, because 1t
has shut them out of the worlds mar
ket to n certain extent and deprived
them Of the chance to make greater
profits by purchasing cheaper raw ma
terials, yet the manufacturers have al
ways been willing that the sheep rails
Ing industry should be protected, be-
cause they know that without the COM
petition afforded by American wool
they would be at the mercy of the for
elgn wool growers and would have to
pay whatever price might be demand
ed. 1t has been proved by frequent
trials that sheep raising is not profit
able in this country without the help of
q protective tariff, and for that reason
the manufacturers have refrained from
serving their own immediate interests
by advocating q reduction in the tariff
on the raw material.
The free-traders are exerting every
effort to array the protected industries
against n another, but they will not
succeed in their attempt to induce the
wool manufacturers to antagonize the
sheep raisers.-Cleveland Leader,

Tariff and the Steel Tru.t.

AnTtlI anu the SCeeI trust
Discussion of Hon. j. w. Babcock's
idea Of removing the tariff from all
products of the steel trust has brought
out some interesting facts about the
steel trade. 1t has been shown that
big as the big trust is, it by no ear
controls the steel trade in this country,
there being many establishments. some
of them employing q large number Of
men, which have no connection with
the trust. 1t seems to he generally adj
mitted that the removal of the tariff
on steel products would not injure the
big trust to any marked extent, but 1t
is claimed that it would necessitate an
immediate reduction of wages in all
steel establishments not in the trust
This claim, which is being made by
those who ought to know whereof they
speak, Is causing many who We're at
first inclined to favor Mr.. Babcock's
idea to entertain doubts of its wisdom,
and If 1t be substantiated by unpreju-
diced investigation, which a number Of
members of the House are quietly MAX
ing, the bill for the repeal of the tariff
on steel products will not be supported
by a corporal's guard Of Republicans in
either branch of Congress at the COM
ing session. Desirable as many con-
slider it to curb the power of the big
trusts. the Republican majority in Con-
gress Is not going to be stampeded into
the support of anything of that sort
without carefully considering 1t from
every point Of view, and they will GER
tainly not allow any legislation to get
through that will reduce the wages of

Western Sentiment.
Two Western Congressman have late
ly had something to say that is plain
and very much to the point on the SUBJ
jcct Of tariff tinkering, whether openly
by concurrent legislation or in secret
by a single branch of the legislative de-
partment. Representative Mondell
speaks for a wide extent Of country
when he says, as he did in Washington
a few days ago, that there is no de-
mand for tariff revision in his own
State or in any of the States west of
the Mississippi River. and that senti-
ment out in that section is strongly
against the scheme of admitting for
eign agricultural and industrial pro-
duets by means of special trade trea-
ties. {;
Congressman Hepburn, of Iowa,
spoke to the same effect. He is abso-
lutely opposed to reciprocity treaties,
all and singular, because he does not
believe in establishing tariffs by trea-
ties made by the President and Senate.
He holds that all tariffs should origi-
nate in the House and be treated as
matters of domestic concern, to be de-
termined by both houses of Congress
and the President.

LEANDER WINS.

The Henley regatta must have been
race between the first eight of the
Leander club, and the picked crew sent
over by Pennsylvania was one of the
most exciting ever rowed upon the
Thames. The race was clear grit and
sport throughout, and was won by the
clear superiority of the crew.
The Leander Club is the finest club
i'm England. The men who row i'm the
regatta eight, are chosen from among
the winners of the Varsity crews.
They are men in the very pink of per-
lection as far as training and boating
skill are concerned. Pennsylvania
sent her very best and they certainly
made the Englishmen fight for their
laurels
The question of the English method
of rowing and the American plan is
claimed to be settled by this race, but
it is very doubtful if it will be. The
American stroke keeps the boat steadi-
ly sliding through the water and is
theoretically the better method. Be
cause an extra ordinarily good crew
like the Leander, beat the Pennsylva-
Mas there is no settlement Of the ques-
ton. The crew of London which the
Pennsylvania beat was a good one, and
it might as well be put down to the
American stroke, as the Leadner's vic
tory can be put down to the British
one. The battle of the strokes is by no
means settled.

A Little Mistake that Cost Senator

Little Mistake that Cost Senator
Chandler some Uneasiness.
Senator Chandler, Of New Hampshire,
is known as one Of the most exact and
painstaking of men. He rarely makes
mistakes, and has little patience to
spare for those of others. But the willy
and careful Senator was recently guilty
of a blunder which cost him much trou-
BILE to rectify. 1t was nothing more or
less than exchanging envelopes upon
two letters written about the same mat
ter. The story as related by his very
dear friends runneth thus:
Once upon a time Chandler received
an invitation from Senator Frye to go
up to one of the Maine lakes and enjoy
spell Of hunting and fishing. Politics
would, Of course, come up during the
quiet evenings Senator Chandler had
other plans, and thereupon he indited
two letters, one to his wife, which ran
to this effect;
MY Dear Lucy: l have received an
invitation from Frye to go up with him
into Maine for a hunting and fishing
trip; but | shall not accept Frye is a
temperance crank and never has any
thing for himself or friends to drink,
and therefore | have got out Of the
thing as automatically as l can. There
is not much enjoyment under the cir
cumstances."
The letter then ran on to detail other
domestic condolences.
The letter received by Mrs. Chandler
ran merrily along these lines:
my Dear Frye: received your in
vitation and am very sorry that can
not accept. You know Mrs. Chandler is
very disagreeable about such things.
and so | must decline. Some other time,
when l can get up good story to justi-
fly the fun
The first intimation which Senator
Chandler had of his error was an lndig-
nant missive from the wife Of his bosom
berating him for his ungallant conduct
in holding her up to his friends as a
disagreeable woman.
Senator Frye. fortunately for Chan
der. held his peace, as he did not know
whether or not the epistle was loaded
and fancied that the contretemps might
be merely one of Chambers little jokes
which would have an ending disastrous
to intermediates. The truth Of the mat
ter is that Senator Chandler is just a:
much of a teetotaler as his confreFe
. from Maine, but the other Senators who
have heard of the affair are chatting
him unmercifully.-Succ

They Are Frequently of Great Value for
the Cure of disease.
1t is difficult to find a liniment that
will be of more general usefulness than
simple camphorated oil or camphor
liniment, as it is often called. 1t is val
liable for rubbing on the outside of the
throat or on the chest as a gentle slim
ulant, or it may be used in case of
chronic rheumatism, where it must be
applied with friction to give any relief.
1t may be purchased of the dlNggist or
it may be prepared at home by dissolv-
ing one. ounce of gum camphOr in four
fluid ounces of olive oil. In case of a
severe cold a piece of flannel dipped in
camphOr liniment and heated and laid
over the chest under layer of cotton
batting will seldom fail to bring relief
to a little child or even to an older per-
son.
A compound liniment which is rec
commended for rheumatism and numb
ness" is made of two and half ounces
of gum camphOr and one drachm of oil
of lavender dissolved in seventeen fluid
ounces of alcohol. After this add three
fluid ounces Of strong solution of am
monia and shake the ingredients thor
Oughly together in bottle. Keep il
closely corked when not in use. A good
liniment for bruises and strains is
made of two fluid ounces of alcohol
two fluid ounces of ammonia and two
tablespOonfuls of salt. Put these in.

of almost any of the liniments depend:

which it is applied. In all cases tn,
