1t is always a pleasure to learn
that our readers exercise their own
wits, as they go along.
Apparently, there is an inconsist-
ency between the two statements
quoted. will explain why this,

CD The Republican tariff does
exactly what was charged against it,
for it puts up the price of all the
materials which enter into the con-
struction of the vessel; increases the
cost of living, and thus compels the
ship-yards to pay what seems to be
a higher wage than is paid abroad.
In dollars and cents, the American,
at work on vessel, gets more than
an Englishman so employed. But
the tariff forces the American work
man to pay so much higher prices
for the necessaries and comforts of
life than the Englishman has to give,
that the net result leaves no advan-
tage to the American laborer.
1t can be demonstrated, with
mathematical certainty, that as
consumer of artifcially boosted
goods, the American worker loses all
that he, as laborer, gains by Pro-
lection, and more too.
But the woeful fact is that you
can't make him see it.

Call Mistletoe a Pest

The species of mistletoe which has
played so important a part in the
worlds literature and romance is
found only in Europe, where It grows
upon the apple, hawthorn, sycamore,
poplar, locust and fir trees. 1t is oc-
casionally (but very rarely) found up
on oaks. The oak, as is well known,
was the sacred tree of the Druids:
and when the mistletoe was found
growing upon an oak this strange
priesthood believed that tree to be es-
pecially designated by the gods for re-
ligious uses. Elaborate religious cere-
monials were celebrated under such
trees, ending with the sacrifice of two
white oxen, after which the mistletoe
was cut down. The ancient Germans
also held the parasitic plant in super
stitious veneration, and the Celts re,
garded 1t as possessed Of magical

CURIOUS FUNERAL

The Viscomtesse de Vaugelet. who
recently died in Frances at the age OF
seventy-seven, left the bulk Of her
fortune, estimated at 100000, various
minor legacies being deducted. TO the
town of Riom on certain curious con-
ditions, which we're all, or nearly all,
complied with. She insisted on an en-
tirely white" funeral. with white trap
pings, white flowers and white horses.
No white flowers were discoverable In
the country, but in other respects her
wishes were obeyed The late Yis-
comtesse seems to have been particu-
larly musical. for she bequeathed $500
to the local band on condition II play

uously during the obsequies all the
way from the house TO the church, and
from the church to the graveyard,
distance OF 16 miles The result was
that the band played Chopin's Flu

tired almost inanimate to a village
inn, where a portion Of the 5000 was
consumed in drinks.

there were tears IN her voice. I'VE only

was giving her the bunch Of holly at

leave-taking he said:

She blushed painfully and the blue
eyes were downcast.

And he went the back way to his

leaf beds with his head down and his !
hands in his pockets struggling as he |

Many names of towns in England
have been appropriated for a similar
use in this country. These names fre
quently indicate in themselves the ori.
gin Of the towns. For instance, names
ending in chester" or "cester" or
Caster" such as Dorchester, Worces-
ter and Lancaster, undoubtedly apply
to sites of old military settlements or
camps, and the termination is derived
from "castra," the Latin word for
camp If the name of a place ends in
"coln," like Lincoln, then it, too, is of
Roman origin, because the Latin word
for colony is colonia When the sylla-
BILE "by" ends the word, like Rugby,
we then know that the Danes are re-
sponslble for the name, for the Danish
word for town is by.

HORSE EATS $4,000.

Hoke Scott, a farmer of Seattle
Wash, sold IL acres of his Rentor
farm recently for $4,000. He received
the money in greenbacks, which he
stuck in the breast pocket of his coat
On his way home he stopped to tell OF
his good luck sale to a neighbor, and
while talking the old horse he had
been leading reached over and pulled
out the greenbacks and masticated
them before the farmers could pry
open the horses mouth. The animal
swallowed a good portion of the
money, but the irate farmer saved a
bunch of small pieces he managed to
pull off corner of the roll. Hoke is
now wondering If the treasury depart

aid Of the few remnants he has col.

CURE FOR CIGARETTE HABIT

The schoolmaster in the mixed vii
lage school Of Munzenschwil, in the
canton of Argovie, Switzerland, was
shocked to find his pupils, boys and
girls, smoking cigarettes secretly near
the school. At the beginning of the
lessons he sent out a servant to buy a
quantity of strong Swiss cigars, and
when the lessons came to an end he
distributed the cigars freely among
the scholars, and, in order to give
them a good lesson, insisted upon their
smoking in his presence. Many OF
the scholars of both sexes returned
home i'll, and their parents lodged

SWALLOWS INK, TURNS BLUE

After swallowing indelible ink, Ar

come to the notice Of local physicians.
The skin of the body turned blue with

ink and according to medical theory

The physician diagnosed his Attic

The child was found playing with
a bottle of ink by his parents and the
physician called in. Soon he began

Wagner raised the animal from a

teaching the dog to do this duty for

on each side, made for her.
For several years she has carried
his mail. In the morning the blanket
is buckled on her. Without waiting
for a caress or a word, she starts off.
She covers the round trip Of four miles

similar duty in the afternoon.

from eye to point, the opening being
just large enough to permit of the
passage of a very fine hair.
