that every vestige of protective tariff

they assert embraces incidental pro-

Before the French Revolution.

Before the revolution the government
established warehouses at which the
inhabitants were compelled to purchase
their stores of salt. These warehouses
were numerous in some provinces and
few in others, but whether sufficient
or insufficient for the needs of the pop-
ulation they were often situated at a
considerable distance from the towns
and villages. whose inhabitants had to
trudge miles along bad roads to buy
their salt. But this was not all. 1t
was prescribed by law that the head Of
every family must lay in his stock Of
salt not at such times as might suit his
own convenience, but on one stated
day in the year. Should he fail in
this observance he was fined, and he
was also fined if he purchased small
er quantity than the law prescribed.
His hardships did not stop even there.
On making his annual purchase he
had to state the different purposes for
which he intended to use the salt dur
ing the ensuing year, and in the event

A ROYAL Fowl.

In England under an old law still in
force the swan is a royal fowl, as
whales and surgeons are royal fish.
All swans the property whereof is not
otherwise definable. when within the
British dOminions belong to the crown
by virtue of this prerogative When
swans are lawfully taken into the pos
session of private person. such person
may be said to have property in
them, but if they be at liberty they be-
long to the crown. Formerly it was
necessary for persons who wished to
keep these royal fowls" to obtain a
swan mark, which was granted by the
crown and which could not be legally
impressed without grant or prescrip-
ton.

One of the many things Prof. Brew
er is interested in Is the agricultural
experiment station maintained by New
York in the outskirts Of New Haven.
One day the professor took his sons
through the place, explaining to them
the different pieces Of apparatus. They
were particularly interested in GER
tain machine designed to smoke Gig
ars automatically, whereby the finest
ash possible is obtained and analysed.
II noticed that the boys were at
tracted by this machine and explained
1t to them carefully" said the profess
sor recently, according to the New
York Times. II thought no more about
it, however, until one Sunday found
our house full of smoke. And what
do you suppose? Bless me If those
boys hadn't rugged up a similar ma
chine in the attic and were coloring
a meerschaum pipe"

Among the many world records held
by this country at the present time Is
that of gambling. We are easily first
in this sinister accomplishment. 1t
crops out all over the country-in the
street urchin, In the university youth,
in the clerk and the workman, in
society, in the family even (where
one night week Is often set
apart for an innocent little
game Of poker); in the gambling
establishments which the law is pow
erleSs to suppress, at the race tracks,
and. above all, in Wall street. 1t is
safe to say that more gambling goes
on in Greater New York every day
than in any other community in the
world, not excepting the kingdom of
gambling, Monaco.
The dishonesty, corruption, and mis-
cry entailed are stupendous and heart
rending to contemplate. At first sight
this incurable mania for gambling
with which we are afflicted seems a
heinous and Unmixed evil. 1t Is bad
enough, in all conscience, and it is
not our purpose to plead for it. But
rs madness is often the result of some
fine quality or power becoming ex-
cessive Or going wrong, SO gambling
seems to be diseased form of spirit
which has made the prosperity of
AUer!ca-the spirit Of enterprise In
fact, enterprise is sort of gambling.
A man engages his savings, his time,
his energy, in a scheme which he hopes
will yield him fvefold, tenfold, a hun
dredfold, but whose success is almost as
problematical as the fall of a roulette
ball, the finish of horse race, or the
auctuation Of the stock market.
The difference between gambling and
genuine enterprise is that in the for
mer man wages on pure hazard, Of
ten pitting his reason against a me-
chanical thing that has nothing to
do with reason except to mock it,
While in the latter he bets on his own
, power and resources. Gambling and
enterprise are both the expression of
an intense ambition to get rich. And
moving principle in American activity,
there will be this double expression of
it-enterprise and gambling, the one
/ leading to prosperity, the other, more
often than not, to poverty and ruin
and all degradation.-Harp Weekly.

Look at my hands. said man as
he drifted into the office of a WELL
known business man, and as he said it
he stretched his fingers out to their
full length, exposing the palms of his
hands. The insides of his hands were
very rough. That was exactly what he
wanted to call attention to.

that sort? Look at EN-" He still held

"Splittin' wood?" answered the man.
"Not much" said the fellow with the
rusty hands. "Maulin' rails2" ventured
the man again. stNope," was the short
reply of the man with the heavy hands.
"Pullin' a cross-cut saw suggested
the man as a last resort, but he was
wrong again. 'Well, how on earth did
you get 'em then?'' he asked with q
show of Impotence. "Handlin' money"
was the mans reply. and he smiled at
the look of disgust and incredulity
which spread over the face of the man
he was talking to. "Yes, sir; l got all
these corns,a and bunions, and knots,
and other rough things which you see
on my hands by handling money. You
see work for the traction company,
and have to handle and sort all the
money of the company. 1t is awfully
hard on the hands. A great deal of the
money Is In small denominations and
we handle 1t in bags and packages of
various sizes. There is so much of 1t
that fellows hands soon become hard
on the inside and gradually grow into
the knotty condition which you find
mine in at this time. You can bet that
handling money is not the soft and vel.
vety business 1t is generally supposed
to be. The association of soft white
hands with the business of handling
money is dead wrong, and if any man
doubts what say about 1t / simply

And the money handler with the
rough hands blew out as suddenly as
he had blown in.-New Orleans Times.

as to not hinder person from his

ity of cases little or no attention is

people have chronic catarrh in some
