A QUEER CONDITION.
Senator Harris Has Strong Cam
Daign Material to Use.

Senator Harris Iof Kansas has just
returned home from trip to Europe
where he went in the interest of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
While on the other side, however, he
did not lose sight of American poll.
tics, but kept his eyes and his ears
open for any knowledge that would be
of interest in the current campaign.
Indeed, he made it his business to in
qure especially with regard 10 the
prices in Europe of articles manufac-
tured in America by tariff protected
industries. He was particular, he
saws, to ask what Eng lishmen paid for
American farm machinery and
Inducements, and he found that
pitchforks, shovels, hatchets, hoes
and the like, were sold for
very much less in the British market
than the prices charged for the same
articles, by the same manufacturers,
in Kansas City.
Senator Harris is to go on the stamp
in the west for the democratic con-
gressional ticket shortly, and he will
take with him an object lesson in the
operation of the tariff in the shape of
a pair of shoes. The shoes were made
in the United States and purchased by
Senator Harris in England at Il price
which he asserts is 20 per cent. less
than the same pair of shoes would
have cost him if they had been pur
chased in the United States. The
senator will wear these shoes on his
stumping tour and exhibit them with
receipted bill showing their cost Oh
the other side and price list showing
what the same make of shoes cost
when purchased IN this country. The
Tariff lays tax of 30 per cent. ad va
loren on shoes, under which favOrit-
'sm, the senator says, the articles are
sold in England cheaper than in the
United States, Notwithstanding the
necessity of paying freight on them
over distance Of 1900 miles. Sena
tor Harris asserts, furthermore, that
American manufacturers are not sell
ing merely their surplus stock" in
Europe, but that they are selling their
products regularly abroad at "a fair
profit, and at tremendous profit at
home"

A QUEER TRIO.
Dead Bodies and Cream Found
Frozen in Cold Storage Plant.

Thirty dead bodies were found fe"
nights ago in cold storage plant To-
Gated in the rear of an Ice cream fac
tory at Louisville, KY.
The same pipes which were used IN
congealing the cream for table use
were connected with a small plant in q
shed in the rear where they kept the
bodies cool.
It was at first thought that the ca
davers had been carried there from
INDIANAPOLIS, but the heads OF several
colleges interested in the establish
ment asserted that the bodies were
obtained legitimately by them from
the pepltentiaries, insane asylums and
other institutions of the state OF Ken
lucky.
Chief of Police Gunther received a
letter from the chief of police OF ln-
dianapolis, inclosing a letter from a
woman in Louisville, who said she had
lived at the place in question, and
that some of the bodies stolen at In
dianapolis had been shipped to Louis
Vile and were stored in the shed.
Chief Gunther sent two policemen

breaking it open.
While the chief of police was trying
to get the permission of the court tt
open the building those having charge
of the place sent word to police head
quarters that the building was open
and the investigation was made.
The building is a small one and pro
vided with numerous thermometers
for the proper observation OF the tenn
perature. The bodies were found IL
boxes, and most of them we're in gooC
state of preservation. The establish
ment is maintained by several Louis
vile medical colleges.
The head of these institutions say
they are given the bodies by the state
with the understanding that they are
to be held thirty days for Identified
ton. In order to assist in the ldentlh
cation the cold storage plano was es
/ tablished and an arrangement made
with the ice cream plant to furnish
the cooling air.

Timely Tins.

Tinware can be cleaned readily by
rubbing it with damp cloth dipped
in soda; rub briskly and wipe dry.
According to a housewife who has
made the experiment, a thin coating of
varnish applied to ordinary straw mat
ting will keep it looking fresh and
new and add to its durability.
A vegetable strainer of enamel that
may easily be clamped to the side of
the sink is one of the genuine con-
veniences for the housewife now on
the market.
To take fruit stains from cotton
muslin or any light article take the
stained article and dampen it. Then
burn a little sulphur, holding it under
the damp portion of the cloth and the
stain will vanish.
To clean vanished paint, take the
tea leaves which are left In the tea
pot, pour some hot water over them,
and let them stand ten minutes. Then
pour the tea into basin. Wash the
paint with clean flannel, and dry
with a clean cloth.

Electric Watch.

has been perfected by a Swiss watch
maker named David Perret of Marin,
near Neuchatel. 1t is a watch which
goes by electricity, and its special fea-
ture is its accuracy. 1t was severely
tested by experts, and it was found
that is gained oaly seven-tenths of a
second in five weeks. The expert at
the observatory at Neuchatel declares
the watch to be equal in precision to
an expensive chronometer. The watch
resembles an ordinary gentleman's
lever, costing $50 and goes for fifteen
years without being rewound.

An Optimistic Temperament.

If a woman wants to retain her
youthful appearance she must mingle
with other people. read good books
and cultivate an optimistic tempera-
ment. Nothing SO destroys the youth
full contour of the face as taking the
cares of life too seriously. House
wives of the Martha type who "are
troubled about many things" have
rigid, set lips that plainly reveal the
loss of those qualities that make a
woman lovable. When our characters
lack cheerfulness and amiability our
feathers will unconsciously lose those
soft curves which are the outward
signs of inward beauty of thought and
feeling, says Julia Teresa Butler in
the Pittsburg Observer. The best
workers. the ones who accomplish the
most good, are those whose useful
ness is conductive of much happiness
to others as well as themselves. The
secret of true success lies in making
our lives beautiful in that kindness of
spirit which makes us creatures of
purer mould.

Blouse Belt Is New.

New ideas are as plentiful as spring
flowers. A very new thing is the
blouse belt. This consists of a wide
girdle of black satin. 1t is fastened
with a brilliant buckle. which is
hooked at one side. Upon the other
side there is another buckle to match.
The idea is that with a blouse waist,
all baggy in front, the buckle is hid
den and the proper place for it, there
fore, is upon the side. The blouse
girdle is pulled down in front and
fastened with pretty pin, while the
back is rolled as small and as round
as possible. the object being to secure
length in front and that smart look
at the back which is necessary if one
would be well gowned.

NEEDED ANOTHER KIND OF HELP
Proffored Assistance Not Exactly What
He Was Looking For.


Prof William B. Scott of Princeton,
who presided as POSTMASTER at the
dinner of the American Philosophical
Society of Philadelphia recently, an
nounced to the hundred or more fam
GUS men who sat around the tables
that he occupied his post unwilling1y,
and then to prove his point and show
how little he relished the position in
which he was standing, he told this
story:
Tim and Clancy were walking
through the wilds of New Jersey,
bound for New York, when Tim spied
wildcat crouched in the branches of
a tree near the road. Clutching his
companion by the arm, and pointing
excitedly to the beast, he said:
Clancy, do yez see thot foine
Maltese cat? Olive a frind on Vasey
street as wud give forty dollars fur ut.
Stand yez under now, an Oi'll go up
an shake her dune. All yez'n have to
do is to houlI her.
CLANCY did as he was told, and Tim
went up and shook and shook until
the cat did absolutely tumble Clancy
grabbed her. When there came a
moments lull in the cyclone of fur
and Clancy and dust and grass, the
wondering Tim, looking on from
above. called down:
"'Shall Oh come dune, Clancy, an
help how'd herr

Clancy. Come dune, an help let her
