The Duty on Hides.

In replying to the assertion of the
Waterville Sentinel that the tariff on
hides adds 10 per cent to the price of
every pair Of shoes and costs the peo-
pie Of Maine $4,000 a year more than
under the Wilson law, the Kennebec
journal makes the excellent point that
shoes are as cheap to-day as they were
in the dismal period of 1S93-1S97. The
Journal might have gone farther and
shown that the tariff affects only the
heavier hides used in making sole
leather, and that the duty of 10 per
cent cannot possibly increase the cost
more than cents a pair. This cost
comes out of the manufacturers profit
and not out of the consumers pocket.
Yet a large number of shoe manufac-
turers have become enormously rich.
and are getting richer very fast In
spite of that 10 per cent duty on hides
Rightly the Journal contends that this
duty should be retained because the
farmers want it. Abolish the duty on
what the farmers have TO sell and
the farmers would very quickly de-
mand the removal of duties Oh what
they have to buy That would mean
the end Of all protective duties Though
they apparently have not sense enough
to see it, those who urge the removal
of the duty on farm products practi-
cally advocate free trade. That is the
size of Ii.

Rossinf,s watch.


In 1924 Charles X. presented Rossini.
the composer, with repeating watch.

two Of Rossinis melodies. Nobody In
Bologna could clean the watch, so IL
was sent in the care of the tenor, Fa-
biano, to Paris, where it was destroyed
in fire. Plivee, the matchmaker.
thereupon made a second watch, the
exact counterpart Of the first, except
that the diamonds were false, and Ros-
SIM, who never discovered this pious
fraud, wore the trinket all his life. On
his death it passed to relative, whose
son scid 1t to an Englishman. IT Is
said to contain an excellent portrait N

Foresight with which These AMI
mails Build Winter Homes.
In the month Of March, before the
rivers have opened, on the snow around
the heads of the creeks and about the
airholes In the thick Ice may be seen
the curious trail OF the muskrat. 1t
can readily be recognized by the firmly
planted footmarks, heavily and slowly
impressed and the sharp after drag Of
the long, scaly, bladelike tail. All
through the cold winter months these
heavily furred animals have lived
warm and comfortable in their well
constructed houses, rearing their third
and last litter. One house erected
about September seemed planned with
almost human foresight. Here, with
their long sharp teeth and strong, inch
long claws. they had cut and cleared
wide paths through all the marshes
paths so deep that three feet of ice did
not close them, so wide that we have
often padded along them, marvellng
ct the great floating masses OF torn up
aquatic vegetation. These paths were
hundred yards long and four feet
wide and were cut through mass of
tangled cover high enough In most
places to thoroughly conceal a duck
hunter and his canoe. In the winter
months the muskrats can easily dive
from their houses into these under ice
channels, and the whole marsh is be-
fore them to choose their meal from

For several years past in families
of all grades the old-time respect, con-
daughters to their mothers has been
noticeably diminishing, says the New
York Sun. This fact remains uncon-
tradicted, whether the mother as a
woman represents the highest social
position or happens to be an humble
working woman. Mothers are frankly
willing to admit their personal NORTH
cations over this matter, and quite as
frankly express their indignation at
the position their daughters have plac-
ed them in, and are aghast at the
progress made in the evolution of this
unlovely and unnatural characteristic.

who seldom sit down to the dinner

spaghetti, which he says is without nu-

HOMEMADE MIXTURE

In Said to Promptly Relieve Back
ache and Overcome Kidney Trou-
BILE and Bladder weakness Though
Harmless and Pleasant 10 Take.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper,
giving a simple prescription, as formu-
lated by a noted authority, who claims
that he has found a positive remedy
to cure almost any case of bachache
or kidney or bladder arrangement, in
the following simple prescription, IL
taken before the stage Of Bright's dis
ease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-hal.
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce |;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription. stated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and
IAN be obtained at small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up If asked to
do So He further stated that while
this prescription Is often prescribed In
rheumatic Affections with splendid re-
suits, he could see no reason why it
would not be a splendid remedy for
kidney and urinary troubles and back
ache, as it has peculiar action upon
the kidney structure, cleansing these
most important organs and helping
them to sift and filter from the blood
the foul acids and waste matter which
cause sickness and suffering. Those
who suffer can make no mistake In
giving it trial.

wych Hazel, Not Witch Hazel

The correct name for Hamamelis vir-
ginica is not witch hazel. but wych
hazel. Our plant has no connection
with the magic Of the water hunter.
The blackthorn of England. Prunus
spinosa, was the wood used in these
divinations, or whatever these super
stitious practices may be termed. Ha-
eel had very wide meaning in the
Olden times, and the elm as we'll as
the nut now know as such was hazel
One of these elms, now known as u
mus montana, was the favorite wood
for making wyches, or provision chests
and was therefore known as the wych
hazel. In the present day it is the
wych elm. Our hamamelis received
from the early settlers the name of
wych hazel from the resemblance Of
the leaves to those Of the wych hazel
or elm of the old world. Language re
formers imagining that wych should
be spelled witch are responsible for the
confusion. Wych hazel is the correct
term for our plant.

truth, be called a vote face. The
backward tilt, apparently, was merely
temporary alteration, which has
speedily given way before the more
aristocratic attractions of a firm set

is perfectly natural poise. the sweep

Learn 10 Listen.

Two very good reasons for listening
are that a good listener is popular. and
the second that in this way one ac-
quires all sorts of information, some
useful, some not worth keeping, and
third most excellent reason is that each
person has hobby or some one thing
i'm which he or she is interested. To
hit upon this, and draw out the talker
is TO make one appear at his best.

What's a Popular woman:


A woman can not be said to be truly
attractive or popular unless she is loved
and admired by the members of her
own as well as the opposite sex. She
must be welcomed by all, old and
young. male and female. or she can not
be called an attractive woman without
reservation.
She must be herself, her best self,
at all times and with all people; she
must think and act for herself, and ex-
press her own opinions, rather than try
to copy some person she may admire. or
who is admired by the lords of crea-
ton.
individuality, when combined with
polite manner and tact, is always at
tractive. A wOman's happy, infectious
laugh is better than medicine or adj
vice, and her CHEEKY presence Is al
ways welcome as the sunshine
A girl. to be truly popular never says
mean things about other girls, think
ing that the men will like her better,
and she doesn't try to monopoliZe the
attentions of all the men at once, but
is willing to let other girls have their
share of admiration and attention along
with her. She doesn't NOPE and re-
treat within herself if there are no
men about to advise her, but she cheer
fully sets about making the best of mat
tiers without them, and making such
companions as she has happier 'and
brighter for her presence.
If she has a grievance she keeps it to
herself, for a woman with a grievance
is very soon voted bore. The weep
