We do not propose to argue tie

very low tariff, then foreign goo1

thrown out Of homes and employ

would again have to be established

FIVE cents for his cotton, which is
less than is costs to grow it, and

Thei. hatred II rnEInna.

Ferdinand de Lesseps used to ten
how Frenchman came to his aid when
he was struggling against PalmerstoD's
opposition to the Suez canal. The man,
who was a total stranger, walked into
his office one day and drew out of his
pocket wallet stuffed with bank notes.
Monsieur" said he, u bog the priv
lege of being allowed to subscribe to-
ward the railway of the island of Swe-
den" But, monsieur" said Lesseps,
lit is not railroad; it's q canal. It's
not an island, but an isthmus. 1t Is
not in Sweden, but at Suez." Il don't
care what it is or where it is" said the
capitalist, 80 long as 1t worries Eng
land. Put me down, l say"
But Lesseps had little reason to make
fun Of this episode if the picture his
own son draws of him be true. Becom-
ing incensed at some attack made on
him in the British parliament and be-
Ing inadequately provided with means
to express his rage, his mind suddenly
reverted to his linen collar, which was
Of English make. He tore it from his
neck, dashed it upon the floor and
danced on 1t, all for hatred of the Is
land it came from.

Eagles and Chamois Fight.

A desperate combat between two ca
giles and a chamOis was witnessed on &
snow covered mountain near Flush.
One of the eagles attacked a young
chamois, when it was charged by the
sire of the herd, which was some dis
lance away. At this point another
eagle appeared, but the chamois re-
peatedly beat them both off by fierce
thrusts of its antlers
The struggle continued for half an
hour, after which the birds took to
fight. The chamois remained immova-
bic, with head erect, gazing defiantly
at the soaring birds until they were
lost to sight.

AN HERB FOR EVERY PAIN.
Old Fashioned Remedies That Were
Used by Our FOrbears.

In the village of Greenwich, England
in a quaint old street where the build.
ings are so thick that they tangle them.
selves together in knot. there is a
queer little shop with a sign over the
door that reads, An Herb For Every
Pain
On the shelves of this shop are to be
found hundreds of different kinds of
herbs for the cure of all bodily all
ments. There can be found all the old
time herbs that our grandmothers used
to have hanging around the walls of
the kitchen and stored away in the at
tic, ready to be made into teas and
sirups in case of sickness.
People who still have old fashioned
ideas about health and sickness go
there for bugleweed, sumac, winter
green, sassafras, camomile, horehOund,
yellow dock, catnip, cherry bark, mul
lein, extract of oats, lobelia, and so on
All these herbs have the reputation Of
being good for some one or more all
ments-catnip for nervousness, sassa.
fras for the blood, horehound and bone.
set for colds, sumac for sore throat,
wintergreen for rheumatism, lobelia as
an emetic in case of poisoning, mullen
for consumption, etc.
Nearly all of these herbs are made
into teas. Sassafras tea, boneset tea
and catnip tea are brewed and served
either cold or hot. Among the many
hundreds of herbs that are sold in this
little shop are some that are deadly
poisons, and they are labeled and sold
under the same restrictions as other
poiSons.
The good old remedies that our grand
fathers hunted and dug in the woods,
those that our grandmothers planted
and tended in the garden, have given
way to harmful remedies, to drugs that
leave the patient in worse condition
than when he began their use. We be-
lieve it has been mistake to give up
the old remedieS.--Medical Talk.

When Mike left the employ of Broth.
er Bubbles, who keeps a country store
and also farms it" in Washington
county. Me-, he owed a considerable
balance to Brother Bubbles. Mike
seemed quite willing to forget about it.,
but more intimate acquaintance of
Brother Bubbles never lost faith that
the account would be squared in due
time.
After Brother Bubbles had ceased
even to drop gentle hints about the
little bill Mike became the owner of a
single lusty hog, of which he was in
ordinately proud. He Dragged about
it increasingly, and Brother Bubbles
made friendly call one day to see it
and praised the hog in a way that de
lighted the heart of the lucky owner.
Cant see how We got him 50 fat
Mike" said Brother Bubbles. Mine
don't fill out that way. guess it
takes an lrishman to bring up pig"
Then after Il pause Brother Bubbles
added: I've got shote I'll give We if
you want it. l should like to see what
ye can do with my stock"
There is an old saying that sets
forth the danger of trusting the Greeks
even when they offer gifts. but Mike
had never heard it. At the first OPP
portunity he went over to Brother
Bubbles barn and brought away the
sorriest looking shote that ever lived.
The next day Brother Bubbles "lev-
led" on the big hog. The law would
not have permitted him to do that So
long as Mike was the owner of only
one pig.

In telling what he thought gentle
man should be Cardinal Newman once
wrote: HE has his eyes on all his COM
pany. He is tender toward the bash
full, gentle toward the distant and mer.
ciful toward the absurd. In his con-
versation the gentleman will remem-
Der to whom he is speaking, have
thought for all the company and avoid
illusions that would give pain TO any
of them, steering away also from top
les that irritate. When he does a IA
vor to another (and he does many the
gentleman will somehow make it ap-
pear that he is receiving the benefit in
stead of comforting it. He is never
mean or little in his disputes. More
over, he shows that he has an intellect
far above the average in the fact that
he never mistakes personalities and
sharp sayings for arguments. Most of
mankind do. When grief, illness or
losses come to him he submits to pain
because it is inevitable Bereavement
he takes with heroic philosophy be-
cause it is irreparahle He goes to
death without murmur because it is
destiny"

A Great Painters Beginning.

Sir Thomas Lawrence was one Of
the great portrait painters in England.
His parents WERE poor. his father be-
ing a country innkeeper. One day
Lord Shaftesbury's father and mother
stopped at the inn, having their young
er son, the future lord, with them. In
conversation the innkeeper spoke Of
the genius of his boy in drawing and
wished them to test it by picture Of
their son. They assented, thinking to
crafty a fathers pride, but not look
ing for any evidence of superior talent
The boy came in modestly, with chalk
and paper, and in a few minutes had
drawn a picture of their son on which
the parents looked with wonder. They
recognized the genius and the promise
of future greatness and befriended the
young artist, giving him the help need
ed to develop his wonderful gift.

Historic Relic.

The Chesapeake, famous for her en-
counter with the British ship Shan
non in the war of 1912, is still in ex-
istence. When she was captured by
the British she was taken to England
by her captor, Sir Philip Broke, and
some years later her timbers were
sold. The purchaser was a miller in
Wiskham, and when he pulled down
his old mill he built a new one from
the timbers of the Chesapeake. Many
Of these timbers still have the marks
Of the Shannon's grapeshot, and in
some places the shots are still to be
seen deeply imbedded in the pitch pine.
If the builder who made this ship
knew that its timbers were being used
in a mill which is making money for
a subject of Great Britain there is no
doubt that he would at least try to rise
from his grave to right the wrong.

Orenn Sfrenma

The fresh inflow of salt water from
the Arctic seas which mingles with the
inflow of the rivers produces in the
regions of the north and east of the
New Siberian archipelago a vast cold,
clearing out current, which carries be
fore it all the fragments of the central
ice field, forming thus a mighty drift
toward the eastern coast of Green
land. This cold current bears along on
its surface foes, ice fields, icebergs,
hummocks, etc, and washes up along
the Greenland coast an almost insuper-
able barrier. When this current
reaches Cape Farewell it divides, one
portion descending straight toward
Newfoundland, while the other goes
to increase the current in Batiin's bay
and Hudson strait. 1t is this last
mentioned current which carries ice
bergs even down to the latitude of
Vigo, and its power plays an important
and capricious part in the meteorology
Of Europe.

would die with shame at the idea of
permitting her boy to run about witt
an undressed FACET. e., with cheeks
free from tattoo marks. The attempt
to save native youngsters from the
martyrdom of the absurd custom
caused repeated riots and disagreeable
scenes with the indignant relatives,
and with similar emphasis the east
ern Hindoos protest against the abol-
ishment of infant marriages.
In Calcutta alone the indignation
meeting Of the priests was attended by
$4,000 natives, including hundreds Of
rajahs, merchant princes and scholars,
besides tradesmen and peasants. The
women of Bengal observed a general
fast on the day of protest." shrieks
and bowls filled the air. The population
Of several cities seemed to have gone
crazy en- masse. One fanatic offered
to sacrifice his life to propitiate the
wrath Of heaven.
