back, and then on Benton and a broth
er aide, sitting a few yards aside; then
instantly a flash of recognition shot
over his face, and he called aloud:
There, captain. There's a gentle
man who will vouch for what l say.
Ask Capt. Benton"
1t was our friend Jennings, he of the
stone house and the Warrenton pike,
and Jennings would not be denied.
He plunged into a voluble story to the
listening chief, despite the efforts of an
Irish trooper to prod him forward.
"D'you know him. asked the gem
eral, shortly, as he turned to Benton,
He says you do"
Il saw him once or twice, Sir" was
the guarded answer. Il do not know
him further than that he held Gen. Nc
Dowell's pass and went in and out of
our lines at will last summer"
And I'm just as loyal as | was
then" protested Jennings, only they
caught me down here trying to help
some folks of mine that were sick and
nigh starving"
But the general shut him off impa-
tiently. He was giving ear to the
words of the captain, who had ridden
closer.
Col. Hammond ordered his ar
rest, sir, because of papers in his pos
session, showing he was mixed up in
the aiding Of Observation-Disclosures
across the Potomac. They got one of
EN- too weak to ride. He's in that am
bulance %yonder," and the dragon
pointed to the yellow-nainted vehicle
coming bouncing among the ruts and
ridges of the frozen roadway. A faint
moan issued from beneath the canvas
cover as the driver refined up, and Ben
ton, moved by compassion, urged his
horse past the silent, passive column
and peered in through the opening at
the back. The next instant he was out
of saddle, and the rear spring bent I'M
der his weight as he leaped upon the
steps. Then they heard his voice in
tones of mingled grief, joy and amaze:
Paul! Paul! Dear old boy, don't you
know me?"

THE COST OF LIVING.
Prices Fixed by Trusts Constantly
Growing Heavier on the
People.

Trust high prices weigh heavily on
those with limited incomes. The cost
of living is still advancing, and is now
about ~ points above what it was at
this time last year. Dun's index number
for June was $685. 1853 and for a year e
it was $97.192. This shows that the
trusts are still charging all the people
can bear, and those whose wages do not
advance in like proportion have to cur
tail expenses or spend any surplus they
hitherto have been saving. July l, 1897,
Dun's index number was 2,455, so the
increase in the price of necessaries of life
has been nearly 40 per cent. The present
tariff law IA passed in 1897, and as the
trust era at once began, it is proof that
the trusts and combines have forced this
great advance in price, and that the tar
if law has fostered the trusts and makes
it possible for them to eXtort this enor-
nous increased profit from the Ameri-
can people. 1t is needless to inquire
how much wages have advanced to meet
this increased cost of living, for about
everyone either is a wage Garner or
pays wages to some one else, each indi-
vtdual can answer that question better
than anyone else can for him. There
is no doubt that wages generally have
advanced about 20 per cent. and in one
or two industries where the workmen
are specially well organized. wages may
have advanced nearly as much as the
cost Of living.
The great question is how long can
this strain of high prices be borne by that
large class of people whose incomes are
stationery, and who have no means Of
adding to what they receive. To them
this era Of trust high prices is equal to
a great reduction of income, entailing
large economy and even lack of the ordi-
nary Injuries that the American people
are used to and have become almost ne
cessitias to them.
1nstea,1 of amending the tariff to meet
these conGitions and thus reduce trust
prices, the republican leaders are pro-
posing to impose more internal revenue
taxes to meetthe deficit in the receipts of
TIE treasury which the high tariff and
extravagances has caused. In that case
the price ct those articles, that the tax
is put OF. will increase ami tee strain on
those of limited incomes will tn great
er than ever.

THE TARIFF
II the Dingley Schedule Continues In
Force American Workmen
Will Suffer.

The interest inthe reciprocity conven-
ton which is to meet in Chicago is in
.reasing. It increases because various
classes of producers are learning that it
will not be long before their sales In
European countries, with the exception
Of the united kingdom, which pays no
attention TO Mr.. C~hamberlain's en-
treaties to break away from free trade,
will be greatly reduced unless their gov
eminent shall do something to protect
them, says the Chicago Tribune. Manu-
features of sewing machines, typewrit-
,rs, electrical machinery, shoes and
leather, the growers of breadstuffs and
fruits, and the cattle raisers are Begin
ming to appreciate the effect of Euro
pean high tariffs.
1t took the threat of a loss Of Chinese
rade to open the eyes of certain Ameri-
IAN manufacturers to the improper
treatment of Chinese merchants and
students by government officials. The
inevitable loss of a large portion of the
valuable trade with Germany, unless
~ ii5ot Vi Tic tdilh WulCu ID W SO ILlU
operation next spring shall be ~mitigated,
is having a powerful effect on all who
are interested in the preservation of
that trade.
Austria-Hungary is expected to put
In operation soon a e tariff which
will be p%rohibitory as regards a number
Of American products now consumed
there. Switzerland has a new tariff
whose maximum duties will be imposed
On American goods. Thus one Euro
pean country after another is adopting
the policy of the exclusion of American
goods unless the United States will make
concessions to them by abating here
and there the extreme exclusiveness of
The Dingley tariff act-an act which,
whatever its merits may have been when
1t was enacted, does not fit existing con-
ditions.
1t was announced the other day from
OYSTER Bay that President Roosevelt
had decided to call an extraordinary
session of congress on November IL. It
is to be called, according to one state
ment, to act on some anti-rebate and
other railroad legislation, and also for
the consideration of tariff conditions"
The reciprocity conference of next
month, If it be as large and representa-
i've as 1t bids fair to be will provide for
congress data which will enable it to I'M
~derstand the need of action for the pres
ervation of American trade. The con-
ference will also enlighten congress as
to the feeling of producers in all parts of
the country on the subject.
What we produce beyond our do
nestle consumption, said President Nc
Kinley, must find a vent abroad" II
that vent be not found domestic produce
ton will be curtailed. There will be less
employment and wages will be forced
down. IT congress shall adopt the pol
icy of good will and friendly trade rela-
tons" advocated by President Mckinley
all will go we'll. If the Dingley tariff
shall not be modified in any particular
for anybody, that tariff enacted to pro-
tect American wage workers and other
producers will in1ict incalculable in
jury upon them instead of protecting
them.

HISTORICAL BITS.

Cromwell is said to have originated
the board of trade idea.
Sugar, when first introduced into
England, was only used for the pur-
pose of making medicines more palat-
able.
Wire drawing was invented h
Rudolph of Nuremburg in the early
part of the fifteenth century. Wire
was first made in England in 1863.
Bombs, it is said, were first thrown
March "a, 1880, on the town of Wach-
tendenck, in Guelderland. The his
torian Hone says the invention Ia
commonly attributed to Gaalen, bishop
of Muenster."
In 1892, in England, butchers were
compelled by law to sell their beef for
a half penny a pound and mutton for
three farthings. The butchers of
London sold penny pieces of beef for
the relief Of the poor, every piece two
pounds and a half, sometimes three
hounds, for a penny.

SCIENCE SETTINGS.

Prof. R~eickenbach Ia said to have
proven that 80 persons in 100 can see,
in the dark, colored rays from the
human body and flashes from a mag
net.
The flicker" sometimes noticed in
lightning proves to be due to the fact
that several lashes-sometimes five or
six-follow N path too rapidly to be
separated by the eye. The trails shown
in photography Of very bright flashes
are caused by ineandescence produced
in the air for a very brief period.
A new product of the electric fur
lace has been introduced in France
under the designation calstonite. 1t
is a double carbide of barium and cal
cium, produced by NJ. J. Cartier, an
electro -metallurgist of Mancioux, which
decomposes On contact with water, like
calcium carbide.
A stereoscopic star chart is the sue
cessful novelty of T. E. Heath, the Eng
fish astronomer. The stars in a given
section of the heavens are drawn from
two points of view that are sup
posed to be 26 years apart, and un.
der a large stereoscope the double
view gives a rough but very instructive
impres ion of the stars floating in
space ct an approximation to their
relative distances, instead of as points
against the dark background of the
sky. The result is a most interest
ing one.
Electric waves and sensitive re.
ceivers offer a means of performing
a variety of operations at a distance,
Prof. E. D. Brandy has been trying to
attain such results, and has shown the
Paris academy an apparatus by which
he can start an electric motor, cause
incandescent lamps to glow, and cause
an explosion. These effects may be
produced or discontinued in any de-
sired order, one after another. They
were chosen arbitrarily for experiment,
and it is possible to bring about at a
distance other mechanical action or Sc
ries of actions, or to work a compli-
Gated machine.

Victory of Trusts.

Has the president run up the white
flag before the assault of the stand-pat-
tiers? All the prominent republicans
that have had interviews vita him late
ly say there will be no extra session un-
after the state elections, and perhaps
not then. The agents CT the railroads
and the protected trusts have all the
time declared there would be no extra
session Of congress, and as they are both
fighting for delay they must be consid-
cred as victors. An extra session after
the middle OF November would not count
as the Thanksgiving and Christmas hol-
idays will use up the time until January
KS well under way, The railroads and
protected interests are certainly power
ful with the administration through
their stanch friends. the republican
leaders.

Iowa.-Dr. David H. Reeder, La
porte, lnd.-Dear Doctor: When a bad
breath and a poor complexion indicate
a deranged stomach, what is the best
remedy? Is powdered charcoal a good
stomach purifier? If so, how often
and in what quantities should it be
taken? Does it make any difference
what kind of wood is used to produce
it's. j. r. L.
Charcoal tablets made from willow
are the best and are an excellent thing
for such a complaint. Once tablet after
each meal is sufficient. The cause of
the difficulty, however, must be re-
moved or a cure will not result. The
bad breath may come entirely from
catarrh or from bad teeth. Write
again giving a more detailed descrip-
ton Of your case and I will be able to
advise you more fully as to the cause
of your trouble.

EXPOSITION ITEMS.

Somebody has unearthed from the
files of the Scientific American this
little item of present interest, which
was printed in the issue of September
| 2, 1868: "[n cutting some timber in
Omaha, few days since, bullet was
found imbedded in the trunk of a rock
elm. The grains which had overgrown
it show that it must have been deposit
ed there 50 years ago, time wheL the
country had not yet been visited by
any white men, except the explorers
Lewis and Clark.
Heliograph signals are now being
flashed from the snow line of Mt Hood
to station near the government build
ings on the Lewis and Clark exposition
grounds, lseventy miles distant. Mt.
Hood appears to be but three or four
miles away. A squad Of United States
troops, in command of lieutenant,
has established signal station near
the summit of the grand old peak, and
the exposition is in daily communities
tion with the mountain. Several par
ties of adventurous people will climb
to the summit of Mt. Hood during the
summer, as sort of side trip from
Portland.
The Fourth of July attendance at the
Lewis and Clark exposition was 53,708
This is at least 80 per cent more than
the most sanguine of the officials ex-
pected. 1t beats the Fourth of July
attendance at the Omaha exposition by
nearly 10000, and is Ia, l3l higher than
the attendance on che opening day at
Portland, June l. UP to July 4, half a
million admissions had been recorded
in the thirtY-four days of the big fair.
This aggregate is far above expecta-
tions. The attendance is increasing
daily, and all indications point to a
total that will break every exposition
record, considering the neighboring
population. The fair will run until
October l5.
