The DIGNITY of the Office.

THE TARIFF A MORAL QUESTION

In the May American Magazine Ida
M Tarbell writes on "The Stand-Pat
Intellect" referring chiefly to the
present protective tariff as an illustra-
ton Of the position of that kind of
intellect. Following is an extract:
Almost everywhere the tariff
question has long been regarded as a
bore. People have not wanted TO
hear about it and they would not
think about it. They. escaped by
declaring themselves protectionists or
didn't know and didn't care. They
may have had vague uneasiness
about what it was doing, but they
doWned the feeling by absorption in
questions which interested them more
and which were simpler. And SO
we have the bulk of the actively good
people in the country who hate in
justice and its results busying them
selves with devising laws and institu-
lions to relieve evils which tariff and
kindred abuses have caused! Part of
this indifference is, no doubt, due to
lied that the tariff is Intimately con-
nected with the conditions of our
daily life which they deplore. What
have import duties to do with health
with happiness, they ask? 1t is still
in the minds of the many a theory
not practice which takes a tighter
and tighter grip on the daily life of
every man, woman and child of u.s.
ordering what we may wear, what we
may eat and how we shall be shelter
ed and warmed. And not alone that
but ordering how we shall think
whether We shall attack life with
frankneSs or evasion.
Nor is this all there is wrapped
up in the question of protection as
we are applying it. Deeper than the
wrongs it is doing the poor, deeper
than its warping of the intellect, is
the question of the morals which I'M
derlie it's operations Simmered
down to its final sense the tariff cues
ton as it stands in this country to-
day is question of national morals"

Lying on the table Ia front OF a
numismatist was an old copper coin.
It had experienced hard usage.
Can you read the date and the in
scription 2" inquired the collector.
The visitor inspected the specimen
but, although he had the aid Of a mag
nifying glass, he confessed that the
words and figures were illegible.
"Let me assist you," the collector re-
marked. Going to the kitchen range,
he thrust an ordinary coal shovel into
the fire and permitted it to remain
there until red hot. Withdrawing it,
he dropped the coin on the utensil, and
it speedily became as red hot as the
shovel itself. Immediately the date.
1894, shone brightly in glowing figures
on the diverse side of the coin, and
similar treatment revealed the words
''United States OF America, One Gem"
on the reverse. This test, according
to the numismatist, seldom fails with
any coin even when the inscriptions
have been worn so perfectly smooth
that they are invisible to the naked
eye.-New York Press.

Mcatautr From silkworms.

Probably but a small percentage of
the fishermen who use flies strung
with fine translucent "catgut' are
aware that the almost unbreakable
substance that holds the hooks against
the fercest struggles of the struck fish
comes from silkwOrmS.
The principal center of the manu-
facture of this kind of catgut is the
island of Procida, in the bay OF Ma
pies, but most of the silkworms en-
ployed are raised near Tore Annun-
ziata, at the foot of Vesuvius. The
caterpillars are killed just as they are
about to begin the spinning of cocoons,
the silk glands are removed and sub
jected to process of picking, which
is a secret of the trade, and afterward
the threads are carefully drawn out
by skilled workers, mostly women.
The length of the thread varies from
a foot to nearly twenty inches.-Sci-
entific American.

GIGANTIC VAUDEVILLE
DEAL FALLS THROUGH

New Haven, May IA gigantic
vaudeville combination with a CAPT
tai stock of fifty million dollars has
been under consideration by the NOV
ing spirits in that field of theatrical
endeavor for a number of months. The
combination would have taken in ev-
erybody associated with the United
Booking Offices in the east, this in
Guiding Keith & Proctor, Percy G..
Williams, S. a. Poll, as we'll as Mar
Gus Loew and other popular price
managers; in fact, every vaudeville in
terest worthy of the name.
But mutual disbelief in each others
sincerity, particularly the distrust in
which the principal eastern vaudeville
magnates hold the ones in the west,
prevented the scheme in theatrical
finance being put into real operations
and the plan has been dropped tenn
porarily at least.

Field and Moscheles were his favor

greatly priced by him. He admired
Schubert, though not without reserve.
Weber and Beethoven only partially
satisfied him. He disliked much Of
Mendelssohn's music and found still
less to praise in Schumann, never US
ing any of his pieces in giving his les
sons. He disapproved of Berlioz, and.
while he liked Meyerbeer personally,
he heartily disliked his music. List

great masterpieces only that which
corresponded with his nature. "What

San Francisco had another earth
quake scare come last Saturday, the
shock shaking up the city, reaching
into central California and western
Nevada, and though no destruction
of property resulted, the fright
amounted to a panic.
That class rumbling, crumbling
foundation would operate seriously
against most sections, but it doesn't
seem to phaze the big town of the
Pacific coast, which, after practical
destruction by an earthquake but
half dozen years ago, rebuilt as
if by magic. The almost fatal
alarm now caused by a tremor,
proves that the people of San Fran
cisco will remember the terror of
that holocaust!

Treatment for Snake Bites.

Rattlesnake Bites.-The treat
ment of a rattlesnake wound re-
solves itself into the application of
few very simple rules. In the
first place, person wounded by a
snake usually does the very thing
he should not do-that is, he goes
tearing off at top speed for the
nearest human habitation, thereby
increasing the circulation and dis
seminating the virus through the
system more rapidly. The victim
should sit camly down and bind
handkerchief around the limb. Then
break off a stout twig and insert
beneath the handkerchief, prOduc-
ing a rude tourniquet, and twist I'M
til the circulation is effectually shut
Off With a sharp knife make an
incision over the wound taking care
to penetrate deeper than the fangs
Rave done. If he has good teeth
and no canker in his mouth, he
may suck vigorously upon the
wound. 1t does no good to suck
the original wound. 1t is quite diff
ficult to get any virus back through
an opening not greater in caliber
than a fine needle. Bind perman-
ganate of potash on the wound and
take teaspoonful in water every
two hours until from 3 to 5 doses
are taken.-Field and Farm.
