Value OF Tariff Dusien.

A pretty good idea of the condition
which would prevail in America with
regard to the Importation Of foreign
made goods If there were no strong
tariff schedules to protect home prod
ucts is secured from the statement
that last year, despite the tariff rates
levied on most imports, foreign manu-
facturers sent $67,OOO.OO0 more goods
into this country than during the pre-
vious year.
without the barrier which prote,.-
tion affords the American maker Of
these commodities. what food of
these foreign products would last year
hare swept through the ports of our
land, Instead of seeing their across
the-water competitors compelled, by
reason of the tariff duties collected. TO
sell the imported goods at prices COM
mensurate with the cost of producing
the merchandise here, the American
factory owner would have been faced
with a market stocked with products
sc;:Ing at lower prices than his own
goods cost him from the hands of his
well-paid laborers.
1t Is significant showings of this
sort which prove not only the value of
tariff duties to the nation as a whole,
but which also point unerringly to the
dire result which would come from
change Of this great American eco
noInic principle.-Carthage (Mo.)

stranxe Fog s,Enal.

When fogs prevail in Boston harbor.
the attention of passengers on The Nan
tasket Beach line OF steamers is at
tracted by faint metallic sound which
might be mistaken for the sound Of a
bell. But it Is not the changing of a
bell whick the passengers hear. Sud.
denly through the niist there appears
ahead, like a s2ecter, large tripod.
from the apex of which is suspended a
big steel triangle. 1t is this which
causes the strange sound and signals
vessels as to how to guide their course
through the difficult channel of ths
fog.

Dog Pets In Hotels.

"The one thing we have more trou.
BILE with than anything else" said the
manager of one of the large hotels in
upper Broadway, "is the fact that wo-
men insist on smuggling their pet dogs
to their rooms. We have no objections
to dogs as dogs. III the animal IL not
too large or to fierce our guests may
take them to their rooms during the
day and may even feed them there.
But we draw the line ut having dogs
In the bedrooms at night. Any woman
with a pet dog can have the beast
cared for by the porter at night. and
we have specially constructed kennels
for all kinds OF dogs, and we give
them the best of care Iat owners OF
pets seem to think that no one save
themselves understands Edo or Gyp.
The women seem to think that IL dog
gle has not the comforting assurance
OF the owners nearness then doggie
will not sleep well. SO women try TO
smuggle their pets to their rooms un-
der their cloaks' or by back ways or
even bribe one OF the porters to take
1t to sheir room, believing that we viii;
not hear anything about il.
'As matter Of fact, the first thing
the porter does after getting his tip is
to tip me, and a couple of hours later
the woman is called upon by clerk,
who tells her dogs cannot stay in the
bedrooms all night.-New York Press.

An Object Lesson In Cleanliness.


To impress upon his youthful mind
the Importance of guarding against in
fections the medical student at the
laboratory is given this object lesson:
Two test tubes nearly filled with a
clear meat broth and then closed at
the top with a cotton plug are given to
him, with directions to wash his hands
with soap and water and clean his
nails with a brush as thoroughly as
he can for some ten minutes. After
he thinks that his hands have become
altogether clean he removes the plug
from one of the test tubes and barely
touches with finger tip it's contained
broth, after which he restores the cot
ton plug and puts both tubes away on
shelf for twenty-fOur hours. What
he will see then il that the broth in
the test tube which received his sup
, posedly pure touch is turbid from the
presence of millions Of microbes. while
the other tube remains perfectly clear.
