BOGUS MuMMlEs.

tionists Have Neglected.
It need hardly be said that the COL
lector of the port of Philadelphia is a
protectionist If he had his way he
would prohibit the importation of all
articles of foreign manufacture and
admit only such raw material as is not
produced in the United States. 1t is
therefore not to be wondered at that
he insisted on collecting duty Of 20
per cent ad valorem on an Egyptian
mummy. The Dingley tariff bill does
duty nor does it place these products
Of the pauper labor of foreign lands
on the free list, but the collector was
equal to the occasion. He discovered
after long and anxious scrutiny of
the official printed copy of the tariff
bill that "unenumerated manufactured
articles were subject to the 20 per
cent duty ad valorem. The appraiser
Of the port, a Quay politician, had no
knowledge of the value of mummies,
so the matter was referred to Wash
ington.. In the treasury department
there are many live mummies, and
their ideas of the value of their serv-
ices led them to put an exalted value
on the mummy reposing in state at
Philadelphia. The importer of the
mummy demanded that It should be
admitted free under the classification
of skeletons and other preparations
Of anatomy" The case was appealed
to the general board of appraisers who
overruled the collector of the port Of
Philadelphia and held that the mummy
could be admitted free of duty.
1t now appears that the mummy was
q bogus one manufactured in Egypt,
where the industry has just been start
ed to supply the American demand for
the real thing, genuine mummies be-
ing scarce and dear and the demand In
creasing. Here is the chance for the
American Protective league to demand
that the tariff bill shall be amended 90
that protective duty Of at least 500
on each mummy and 50 per cent ad
valorem be imposed to build up the
mummy industry in this country. We

To become mother-more especially the
mother of strong. healthy boy-was the
height of glory for the faithful woman of the
good old Bible days. Even now. when ma

mother of healthy children is an object of

a low appreciation of motherhood. There
are, however. a great many exceptions to
this statement.
