THE ONE GREAT QUESTION.
rarlff a Matter Of Wages and the

One great central fact that should

Miss Tarbells treatment of the ques.

her request was nearly always ac-

Impossible to Please Everybody.

A great many Republicans would
favor revision OF some of the tariff
schedules If it did not mean a general
revision. The country is in a very
prosperous condition. but it could not
Itand the uncertainty of a reconstruC
tion of the tariff without serious EN-
barrassment Those who are familiai
with the history of tariff legislation
know that each section wants protec.
tion upon the things it produces and
free entry for the things it buys. The
farmer wants protection upon the raw
material he produces and no tariff up
on the finished product he buys. The
manufacturer wants free trade on raw
material and protective tariff to pro
tect his finished product The laborer
wants the high wages which pTotec.
tion gives, but he would like to pur.
chase with those wages things at the
free trade price.
And so when it comes to making
tariff schedules selfish interests are
always at work, and the result is al.
ways a compromise, the product OF log
rolling and 4 measure of doubtful eX.
pediency. And these are facts which
make many statesmen doubt the wis.
dom of ripping up a law under which
the country has prospered and is pros.
pering. Merchants and manufacturers
must have stable conditions.-Lancas

The Corners Of the Home.

Few women realize the decorative
possibilities of corners. The result Is
that even in pretty and artistic rooms
the corners are too often left bare,
the walls being allowed to meet in
hard straight lines and nothing to
break the monotony.
In n small room it Is not advisable
to fill up or cut off these corners by
putting large pieces of furniture dag.
onally across them. for this simply
diminishes the apparent size OF the
room. It will be found that hang
ing furniture will fill the need admir-
ably, for n small cabinet or bookshelf
can be readily suspended and by its
very construction serve to break the
awkwardness of the corner in very
satisfactory manner.
OF course when it comes to hang.
ing heavier pieces of furniture, the
picture molding is found Inadequate,
so s&rew-eyes, or ring bolts, are fas-
tened to the floor beams above.

Beauty or Brains?

Four literary women, not one OF
whom was remarkable for beauty of
face or symmetry of form, were in.
terviewed on n subject OF vital impor.
tance. says the New York Weekly.
Each woman, in her own particular
line, had achieved reputation. and
could afford to answer truthfully the
question put to her. The question
was this: Which would you rather
be-clever or beautiful" No. said
'Beautiful-because by the mere lift-
ing of the eyes a beautiful woman
can order all the world to her feet.
No. said: Beautiful-bcCause beau.

and any amount of stupidity No. 3
said: Beautiful. because fame. for
tune, adulat!on, lovely gifts, social
prominence all come to the woman
who is fair of face. No. said:
"Beautiful-for beauty is gold to a
woman. \ clever woman's fame may
not come to her until she is dead,
but beauty gets a tribute now; even
heads that have won the laurel OF
fame turn away from the clever WON.

lreland's Trade.

mcnts abroad-inCome paid in com
modities imported. No doubt part Of
the excess of imports over exports,
says the Baltimore Sun, is due to
the habit of her patriotic sons abroad
of sending their earnings back to
the old country. Last year Ireland

and fish were worth S1l4,0O0,00

PussY'a Dilemma.

A lady in Manchester, Vt, is the
owner of a cat which she thinks is
the champion mouse.catcher of the
state. Before its arrival mice held
full sway at her home and on many
occasions she found it necessary to
take refuge on table or chair, The
day she got the cat it at once smell
ed the mouse" and stood guard over
hole \ short time elapsed before
the woman heard the cat making a
noise, and going in to see what was
the trouble she found pussy much
bewildercd. Two mice were held
tightly in his mouth, while each of his
front paws was planted on other mice,
making four that he had captured. 1t
was necessary to get the aid of
ncIshbor of the stronger sex to help
the cat in dispatchmg the mice.

Getting a Bill Before Parliament.

q
In congress, in the house or senate,
any member can introduce bill with.

the bill can be presented at any time
In open session. In the house of
commons, explains A. Maurice Law.
In Appleton's, the procedure is more
elaborate. No bill can be introduced,
not even by the government, unless
the house has by motion given its
permission or a member has given
notice OF his intention to bring in a
bill but the introduction of a bill may

An Industrial Crisis: When?

In the current discussion as to the
outlook for continued prosperity vary.
ing opinions are expressed by finan.
ciers, railroad men, manufacturers
and college presidents. The weight
of judgment seems to be on the side
of continued prosperity. This view IS
sustained by the fact of a power tC
consume equaling the power to pro
duce Tie power to consume rests
chiefly upon wages earned and paid.
Employment and wages are at high
water mark. VIII these conditions
continue? That would seem to be the
main question. Intimately related tc
that question is the question whether
and when wages and industrial pro
duCtiOn are to be unsettled by tarih
reduction and reciprocity arrange
mcnts designed to increase foreign
competition with American labor and
industry. Given the date when tarln
revision downward and reciprocity in
competing products shall have beer
definitely determined upon, and it vii
he much easier to guess at the date
when the present prosperity will be
followed by an industrial and com
merCial crisis.

business In New YORK is Inherent
from business in any other place. First
there is more money to be made there,
as ali the world goes to New York.
But there are thousands to compete
with-thousands who Know what bust
ness means-thousands who under.
stand business in all its phases. Sen.
timent is a forgotten art. You are
obliged to stand by yourself, to have
and bring forth new ideas and new
things quicker than your neighbor.
For the buyers see only what you
have to offer them, not who or what
you are. They care nothing for your
ancestors. they want their moneys
worth, and if you fail to give it to
them they so elsewhere.
If a woman who has always had ev-
erything she desired, who has been
petted and made much of, who has
seen society from all its different
points, who has had everything that
position, money and youth could give
her, can simply forget herself; If she
is willing to be patient and interested
in all those who come to her and is
not afraid of work, that woman will
succeed.
II is a hard lesson, but one that can
be learned if one is determined and
has only the one object in view-"to
present themselves"
When you have attained that you
feel triumphant through and through,
and, when you look back at the dark
hours they seem almost brilliant. for
you know they have helped you and
given you cuCrgy-made you more de
terminCd.
1t is wonderful feeling to know
that you are independent of the world
and that you owe it nothing. What
you have accomplished is due solely
to your own Intelligent efforts. | mean
those who enter into enterprises of
their own and are not working on sal.
aries That is, of course, quite an.
other thing.
In New York there is a field for
every one, but in order to win one
must be, or strive to be, better than
the rest. 1t is like stimmant and
inspires one to do well. The compe-
tition here is something undreamcd of
elsewhere. Thousands of men and

This subject is n difficult one to
write about. since by many persons it
is viewed in many changeful lights.
My point of view is that of woman
who, having never been in trade and
knowing absolutely nothing relating
thereto. suddenly finds herself obliged
TO earn her own living.
When one considers the matter. 1t
seems at first as If there was abso-
lutely nothing that could be under
taken by woman educated and
brought up to do nothing. Take my
own case, which is, | think, the only
one really understand. 1t required a
long time and many experiments for
me to realize what was really capa-
bic of. Having done so, the next
thing in order was to bury my own
personality. to think of nothing but
my work and ultimate success. | was
