j THE EVIL INFLUENCE or

IMPURE LITERATURE.

A |>«|»er read by Mrs. Ann F. fireely before the Woman's Club of F.lls-

worth, INm-. 30, 1K93.

I’ttblbM by request of the (,'lub.l

A writer has said “Tell me what kind of food a man rats, and I will tell you what kind of a man he is It may with as moch truth and philosophy be written “Tell me up >n w hat a man feeds Ids mind, and I will tell you what kind of people are

his chosen associates, and what are his

thoughts.** “As a man thiukelh so lie is”

j —Is au el 1 adage, the. truth of which has l>eeu so often demonstrated it will never

j be questioned. Literature is to the mind what food is

j to the body—if our food is healthful our

| bodies are nourished and become strong; ; if of poor quality or insufficient quantity

we lose flesh ami strength, and finally die from exhausted vitality.

if we habitually read weak or impure literature tlie mind become* feeble ami coarse, and after a time Incapable of ap- preciating great thoughts orenj tvtng the society of cultivated people. One of the gn atest evils of the dav is the desire of

young people for sensational reading, and the daily newspapers, with their filthy records of police courts, furnish a bountiful supply in exaggerated and detailed re-

ports of elopements, divorce cases, prize fights, murders, and executions, that tend

! to vitiate the taste and corrupt the morals, i by familiarizing the readers with brutal

scenes and low characters. I*ope tells us that

\ tee l# a monster of such hideous mien. Tha* to !w* hand needs only to Is- seen. Hut sen too oft. familiar with her face. We first enrfurr, then pity, then embrace

The same may lx* -aid of low literature, ! profanity, ami vulgarity; when we first 1 hear it we are shocked and disgusted, but

as our ears become accustomed to it, though we may still shrink from the

society of those who use It, it loses it* horror, although we may never indulge in it.

From the New England Watch and Ward Society’s annual report we real •Books technically obscene are seid *ru

published; punishment f*<r their sale is too swift and sure Vo make thi* a profitable venture. The book** at the present day most harmful to the young are those in*

j eluded under the head of realist.c fiction calculated to excite the Imaginations and inflame the passious. The*** works are of tw<> kinds, one mostly French, the other

usually American. Both i>oa*t of their reai:-m. hut affect the minds and corrupt the morals of the young in different ways.

Tiie former *»a>s little, hut suggests much, gradually bringing the reader to mat state or .-xc uemeni :ti wnicn prlncip.e is overcome by passion, ami nothing but

opportunity Is wanting f.*r unbridled In-

dulgence. The ether by vividly portray- ing the worst features IU the lives of the ino-t abandoned mm ami w.»men. am!

representing this to be a true picture of society, familiarizes the mind with vice

and at the same time lead- the young to

lo« k upon such a 1 if•* a- h »th comm -u and

desi.able—-the same result D thus icrocn

plished. though by different tnean-

Scarcely a w«k passes that the papers do no* record the < >mrm—i *n •<( the worst

crimes by youths who have fed their miLds on .iterature w hose lauguage i- so clothed that it camot i»e classed a- obscene, but is hard v less baneful iu its < ff. ct upon the young. The story of "Peck’s Bad B >>' ha- undoubtedly been rehearsed ihousan is

<»f times by juvmi.e- who liave admiriogy peru-« d I’s page-

in a lectuie delivered by BeV F K. ( lark iu South B >-t* n. not long since, he

says: * A friend has sen*, me a copy of /’»* * and direct, d my attention to a car-

toon on the tlr-t page. It wa- an infant lu a cradle surrounded with dangerous weapons for toys and the nursing bottle from which it drew its nourishment was

labeled I>itue Novels'; rouud the cradle

were novels with such title- a- Ike the In- dian Killer* and ‘Bloody Ben There 3- a

startling truth hidden under this grote-que cart K«n. The very babes iu their cradles have this excitii g and pernicious tra-h

rained in upon them Instead of the story of 'The Three Bears* the child of today read- about the Five Skulls’; instead of

‘Dick Worthington and his Tat’, he reads of ‘Dick the Destroyer’; instcidof •< in-

derella* he read- about the Girl Traitor’ or

•Wild Nell on the Scaffold*. With minds so nourished, Is it strange that we read of a fourteen-year-old boy who deliberately murdered his mother by shooting her while she was working in the tield, and when

arrested, confessed the crime, and said he had planned to kill his father, and sell the plantation and !>ecome a brigand?”

In a trunk full of dime novels in the possession of a Newark boy who had been found guilty of the rnuidcr of a bank cashier ami the robbery of the bank, to

; enable him to tit out a pirating expedition ! in Boston harbor, were books with such I titles as, "Deadwood Dick’s Doom,” “fa

lamlty Jane’s La-t Adventure,” “The Dev-

; il’s Dwarf and his Red Hatchet," “Snow- man, the Boy Sharp.” “The Bloody Foot- prints," “The Dead Shot Dandy," “The Boy Burglar." “Broadway Billy’s Death Backet," “The Outlaw Queen”.

Low literature Is to the mind what scrofula Is to the blood; it soon permeates the mind and terminates in nialignaut cancer which contains all the vices to which man Is addicted.

The young nun who daily and nightly walk our streets, smoking cigars and cig- arettes, and assuming swaggering airs, are but imitating dime novel heroes. Boy burglars and train wreckers (the long list of which is becoming appalling) are the legitimate fruit of such literature, no less than the girls in their teens who with hats setting jauntily on the back of their heads, and talking in loud voices, walk our

streets or crowd the public resorts imsg-

j Iulng they are dashing and fluctuating

j when they are but fast, and find thfeir ideal*

| in the “Outlaw Queen,” the heroine of the

i last cheap novel. The custom of throwing sensational lit-

erature into house* by agent* employed t >

advertise It. and the practice by merchant* of using such paper to wrap their good* in. are productive of much evil, by intro-

ducing it to people who might otherwise have never seen it, and Home measure*

should be taken to prevent it. I have thus far referred to literature of

the lowest character, such as would in-

terest only those of little education »r

cultivation. The literature that ha* m- rit

sufficient to attract persona of average iu

telligeuce and cultivation are such novels as those written by “The Duchess,”

Ouida,”* / da. 'and many modern French novels that are perverting the taste,

stimulating the imagination to unhealthy action, cultivating false ideas of i t'-, and its responsibilities. Many read such novels who would not condescend to read literature of baser sort. A* highly season

ed ami rich food destroys lie appetite for

plain aud more wholesome food, so habit uai reading ol such novels destroys al love or interest iu more substantial read

iug. N >t is it necesstry to read such writings

f* r amu** m»*nt or recreation ; the w riting* of Charles Ilickeus atTord amusement and

instruction; his I'hv of two Citle*,” while having historical value by giving such an interesting account of the French Revolution, as to fix u forever iu the niiud of the reader, i* as thrilling a* auy of lue

light literature “lUvId Copperth-ld" will furnish a love story without the sentimental and nau-eating trash that in cheap literature is inseparable with attaint of t.i«

heart. “Nicholas Nickiebv,'* while aiming to correct the great wrong* iidhcled up m

“You are perfectly welcome to it,” said the owner. I believe in being neighborly ami accommodating, and you can just go to the barn and take the outlit wherever

you want it. But I think 1 ought to tell you, t-> prevent accident*, that the horse ha- fits. Sometimes, when he’s trotting along he’ll rear up and fall back in the

buggy and carry on awful. He killed his la-t owner that way.”

“Well, If that’s the case, perhaps I can

get another horse. I—” “Don’t think of it. 1 will be offended

if you don’t take mine. 1 like to be neighborly, and the horse need* exercise. He has tlie blind staggers, you know, and sometimes he’ll jump off a bridge or run

up agaiust a locomotive. He killed a : couple of old ladies a year ago by disput-

ing the right of way with a freight train. But he’s a good horse, ami I know you’ll enjoy driving him.”

“I guess I’ll go to a livery stable and—” “Don’t do anything of the kind. I iraes

are hard and you’re perfectly welcome to mv ltor*e. Only when you’re driving him you’d better remember that if he sees a

telegraph pole he is suie to become un-

manageable. It’s singular, but that horse can’t bear the sight of a telegiaph pole. He just lies back in the harness and kicks the buggy to pieces, aud then throws him- self down and rolls over «»u the rains. He killed my uncle last spring—what? Yon wont take him?

CHRISTIAN KNDKAVOR.

| Topic for the Week llcglniilng Feb. 1 C omment by Rev. S. II. Iloyle.

Topic.—Truo possession* and how to gair them. Lako xii, 13-01.

Tho lemon illustrating and applying ! our present topic is a parable of Christ

It is commonly called tho parable ol tho rich fool. It was called forth by ar

appeal to Christ by an individual t( settle an inheritance between him and his brother. Christ of course refused t* do so. and seeing tho anxiety of tho one who had appealed to Him for the things of this world He warned bin- against covetousness, by speaking tin parable of our lesson. Since both phases of tho question of possessions ».• set before ns in the topical leferenco, ii may not be out of place, but ratbci more appropriate, to glance briefly ai both.

1. False pleasures and their dangers. The man in the parable was rich, no! rich toward Chid, but rich in tho possession s of earth. He was in a position ol affluence, was rich and prosperous. Tnesun of prosperity shone upon him, md befell into tho fatal error and dau-

r into which so many fall who have y.i'Iy possessions. He looked niton these tilings as the one thing m * *1- tul. His whole anxiety and care was t-

increase tiis riches. There was nc

thought of (iod and eternity. In liis present pr*ssc*asiona he felt satisfied and at ease. Hut how uncertain an* the riche* of «arth! Even while the rich man had under contemplation scheme* for th* increase of his already great rich* s. 0**1 said. Thou fool, this night shall thy s*iii 1 lx* r*-quired of thee, and then whoe«» shall th***** things K-?”

2. Trim |Hi.s*ossions and how to obtain them. Ttm parable before in

rather warns against putting supreme trust in the riche* of earth than ex-

plains the true possessions of life. Y« t by contrast wo can learn what true riches are. If they are not the riches of earth, against which wo are warned, they must be tho treasure* of heaven, and furthermore the chising verso of th«* parable suggests that truo rich- ness consists in being “rich toward Ciod!' Itich toward < iod r* fern to the true wealth, which Ood pn**ervi.* f-.r us and will impart to us; spiritual "eauil, Tom .iis III Ills grace, HH

kingdom, llis eternal favor, that are

not left behind at death." Thop<*s- p»-»>sion of wealth d'H^s in and « f itself prevent the acquisition « f true riches. It is the desire f r wealth, the trust in wealth, that proves a miare. But how may true j ■o-b* scions 1»< obtained? In two ways: tlj By la*cotuing heirs of <»o«i’s kingdom through faith in J*su<* Christ. 2) P.y laying up treasures m le aven hy doing (tod's will aft* r w**

have 1 m*-His children. We cannot merit h«-av* n hy our good w. rks. hut «an hy them, after heaveu is ours, lay np tr*asur< s in heaven.

Th«* Happy Blond.

Oh, to lie a blond during the hot weather! Brunettes may be nice and sparkling and pretty in the winter, but as summer girls they are not the unqual ified successes that their fair sisters are.

1 always thought I would rather be fail than dark, but it is only when summei

comes that this thought expands into a

positive conviction. I actually yearn t< be a golden haired, blue eyed, fail skinned maid in hot weather. A blond may feel the heat just like other people but she has the happy faculty of being able to conceal the fact from the world at large. She can wear a low neck dresi without a fear, because she knows tbal no matter how much she dances her necli and face will still look as cool and whiU as a lily.

Now a brunette cannot exert hersell the least bit without looking positively greasy, and if there is any one thing thal takes the romance out of a girl’s life it i« a shiny” nose. And the worst of it ii that all the powder in the world will not

help matters any. If you rub on a little it melts like butter before the sun. and if in your desperation you apply it ii wholesale quantities it cakes and gives you a complexion like the clown in a cir cus, and that is anything but pleasing to the girl, but very amusing to the work at large.—-Philadelphia Times.

Odd Moments. Said a discouraged woman : ‘If you had

evo-r tried 1*» wok by snatches, u w lyld know how hard it is to get anything done that way."

I've had to Jo a great deal -f work a: d

sponded the other, quickly. I hid to

U arn t » .-y-tematop* my odds ami nds of time. S I know it can be done.

These “odd minutes.' which we all lose in our days, count up amazingly, says a

i wrltir in Harper’s Hizir. Fifteen tnin- ! utes multiplied by four make an hour.

And so many t ines a day we let slip fifteen minutes!

Fifteen minutes wiitlug fur the la/v ; ones to come (town to breakfast : Fifteen i

minutes for the unpunctual ones to go for a walk or a drive! Fifteen minutes waiting for theiuncheou or dinner bell to ring ! Fiftieu minutes waiting a dressmakers pleasure, for the child to come back from j an errand, or for the restless baby t<» go to sieep ! Not to speak of the half-hours I and hours spent in trains aud boats!

When at night the busy woman counts j up her used and wasted opportunities, she \ think**, despairingly, “If I only had those I odd minutes iu one lump at one time, how much I could accomplish which now seems unattainable !”

But something can he done with these I odd moments which are so exisperatingly unproductive to the diligeut oue. This is indisputable, because there are those who have used ju-t such minuses to advantage. ! Many true » xampies rise up to contirrn the statement.

A woman who was obliged to wait at the breakfast table for a d <zen boarders to straggle down, in her waiting moments manufactured yards of a dainty lace, 1

which she found a profitable way of em-

ploying the time. Another young woman, who daily walled a quarter of an hour for j an elderly friend to go driving. k< pt a book on the hall table, and in the wait- i ing times of one summer managed to do a

creditable amount of historical reading. Another kept a novel “going” in each room of the bouse, and whenever she waited for dinner managed to read a few chapters of whichever book was handiest. The only reading moments of one busy woman was

the time she spent every day putting her baby to sleep, and her bo k was kept iu readiness for the operation.

It is told of one industrious young girl that she constantly crocheted or knitted during the minutes her drawing-teacher was explaining perspective or sharpening her pencil. But this d >es seem carrying ! minute-saving very far.

“The undertaking firm of B >yd.

We bespeak for them success, w hich they so justly merit.”

Senator Hale has introduced a resolution into the senate directing the finance com-

mute to have hearings on the tariff. The chances are that it w ill not be adopted. Probably hearings would have no special effect on the final result, but the dark lantern proceedings are a striking com-

mentary on the democratic howl of a few years ago about alleged proceedings of this same sort, and they well illustrate the hallowness of their pretensions.

FROM WASHINGTON.

No Tariff Hearings Cleveland hi Con- trol- Hawaii in the House.

I From our reauiar correspondent. 1

Washington, L). C., Feb. 5, 1894. Republican senators are met with a piece

of democratic duplicity at the beginning of

the consideration of the Cleveland tariff bill by the Senate finance committee that is fat from encouraging. Previous to the pasting of the hill by the Hou«e, Senator Yoorhees, chairman of the finance commit- lee. promised republican senators that the committee would grant full hearings to in-

dustries affected by the bill. Now. tit *sc promises are ignored and

Mr. Yoorhees says the committee will

grant few. if any, hearings, alleging a> an

excu-e for breaking his word that the in-

formation which will be received from tile circular letters sent out by the com-

mitter w 1! be all that i- needed. This is a

mere subterfuge, ami no one knows it any better than Mr Yoorhees It is perfectly true that the answers to the questions in that circular letter would furnish all the information necessary; out it is also true that this information never will be put in shape to be used by the committee, and that also is known to Mr Yoorhees.

If answers are received from only one

half of tin* l.ooOooO circular letters sent out. it w< old require the continual ser-

vice- f rift) clerks for at lea-t six months to tabulate tin* answers, and put them in

an understandable shape. The committee hasn't the clerk- u >r the disposition to

wait f r t!ie work to be dot e if it had

them The plain unvarnished truth is

that Mr Yoorhees lias received the or-

ders of his master in the White II >use, and in- will break hi- word to his col- leagues who have nothing to give him. in

preference to disobeying his master who lias oflic* at his disposal.

it b'gitis t.» look as though Mr t’leve- lan 1 has -u file lent control of the democrats «fi th< finance committee to compel t n m t > r. p «rt the bi.l to the Senate practically a- it was passed by the House, leaving the fight to be made on the floor of the S male. The republican senators

While the storms rage without, ami we, clinging to the warm tlreside, give many a

struggling through the snow drifts, buff t- ed by the “gusty north-wiud,” or toiling in the forests, we take up the papers from tiie county seat, and read of tne feastiug ami dancing aud merry-makiug. And we

Sentiment Ifarbur. FREEMAN HOUSE BURNED.

Southwest Harbor can no longer boast of Us remarkable exemption from the destructive power of the tire fiend, for on the afternoon of Feb. 1 a conflagration swept away an old and honored landmark, a pioneer ho!el. the Freeman house, J. A. Freeman proprietor.

This is flit* first fire which has occurred here sluce the Stanley house was burned about ten years ago.

The origin of the fire is not positively known, but l- thought to have been caused by a deftc ive chimney flue. When discovered by persons outside of the hou-e seeing snr.-ke issuing from the roof, ha-ty investigation showed that the tire between the ceilings in the upper rooms w as beyond control, though many willing hands uset! every means to extinguish the flames.

By the aid of the iarge crowd which quickly gathered, the greater part of the' furniture and personal t-flVct* was saved, and by tearing away an intervening sin d the ice in u-e which had ju-t .been filled ! was Uiil <n h d F »i! mi ale! v there \va- but little w and fiat blowing away from the build tugs whic -food in cio-e proxim- ity. so no further damage was due

Mr. ami Mr-. Freeman bear their sudden calamity with remarkable fortitude and are very graceful to the many friends and neighbors who so freely extended sympa- thy and help upon the trying occasion. The hotel was In-ured for about two thirds its value, and they have a beau*ifill hom** left, a favorable feature not often accompanying the -udden destruction of a home- stead.

Misses \ ie and Eessie 1> x are -pending a part of their vacation with their sister here. Mr- .1 dm Ralph.

Miss I torn Barker w ho has been for s •me time attending school at the Coburn cla--ical iti- itute, at Wat* rvi le, i- a! h une for the vacation

The following sketch will no doubt be of much Interest to many of the older residents of Ellsworth, snd especially to Grand Army men.

The article appeared In a recent Issue of the Lyun Item. and to It The Americas Is indebted for the use of the accompanying cut.

Isaac Frazier Is the oldest comrade of Gen. Lander Post, No. f>. G. A. K.. of Lynn, Mas.-*. He was born in Deer Isle, Me Aug. 1, ]806 In 182* he was made an officer In the Massachusetts militia, re-

ceiving a commission as lieutenant from Gov. Lincoln, after training one day as

a private. He was liviug in Host >n at the time.

Three years later he resigned the com

mission and returned to Maine In 1 <19 he commanded a battalion of Maine vol- unteers in the northeast boundary trouble, better known as the) “Aroostook war,"

Charle* I!., Fred A. and Frank were in Maine regiments. Frank fell at the mine explosion in front of Petersburg and lay a full day before he was rescued to be taken to the hospital and died there.

Captain Frazier led his townsmen into the peninsular campaign under McClellan. They fought iu the seven days’ battles on

the Chickaborniny. and the captain, be-

coming disabled, was obliged to resign and return home He had sold out his business of house, ship and sign painting in Ellsworth, and. rather than violate the terms of the .sale that he should not enter into competition with his successors, he left the town.

Fora time he was in Vineland. N. .1

lie would make the company come t term-. Although the fxianl sanctioned the roll of ac-

i count-. Alderman Maddock- objected to the

j electric light bill, and m<»v»d that it be laid on

the table. Mayor Higgin- thought the rate

paid for lighting wa- comparatively low. Mr. Middock- thought the public ought to have a

I voice in the matter.

Owing to the fact that the police fund was

low due to the maintenance of a special ofli » r

at the Fall-, for some time. Alderman Ma-

honey moved that S' 1 -"»*» be transferred from the bridge fund to the police fund. Carried.

Mr. Mahoney moved that $2oCue takcu *7u\\\ | the bridge fund and transferred to the side- j walk fund. Carried.

The claim of the Coitarian society against the city for damage* caused it* chillTh by tut

overflowing of the Oak street drain was

brought to the attention of the board by A. F. Burnham and Mr-. A. F. Greely. The bill for damage* i- $413,445, a part of which the so-

ciety had already paid. Mr. Burnham -aid that the church had been

greatly damaged by the overflow and freeze-up. Alderman Mahoney asked if there were any

gutters on the building; Mr*. Greely replied that there were uone. The question was then asked if the damage to the wall might not have l*en caused by the dripping of water from the roof. Mrs. Greely thought not. because the wall ou the other side of the buildiug was iu good condition.

Mr. Mahoney urged that that might not necessarily be so; Mrs. Greely replied that as the rain on both sides mu-t be about equal, the cause of the damage on the east side must be caused by something else.

Street Commissioner Holmes bad been noti- fied of the society’s grievance, and although (be drain was under the sidewalk, Alderman Maddocks claimed that by fixing it, the street commissioner had recognized it as his duty, and should be held responsible for all damages. He argued that the church should *ue the city, and make a test case of the matter.

Alderman Mahoney moved that the whole matter be referred to the committee on streets. Carried.

cessor.

John E. Doyle, ballot clerk in Ward 1, also resigned. J. D. Farrell was appointed li» his place.

Alderman Means, chairman of the committee on streets, reported that be had conferred with Street-Commissioner Holmes in regard to the bill for damages claimed by Morrison A Joy, for injury done their cellar on account of the overflow of the State street drain; the under- standing was that Mr. Holme* would pay the damages.

Dr. W. M. Haines, secretary of the board of health, informed the aldermen that he had been advised by the secretary of the State

oard in regard to the matter of vaccination, a- regulated by law, mid that it was the inten- tion of the l>oard to vaccinate the tow n at once. In his opinion, then are 1,000 persons to tie vaccinated. *nd that fifty cents apiece would be about the right price. He laid the matter before the board, he -aid, in the hope that an

appropriation would t>e made to defray the expense.

harles H. Drurnmey. city treasurer, said that he interpreted the law to mean that vac-

cination was optional, and that it was not nec-

essary for :i!l the house* in the town to i»e vis- iied. If the contrary were so. be argued that in Ma;eh "f every year, the time the law said that vaccination must take place, a great and needless expense would l*e entailed.

Mavor Higgins remarked that apparently the aldermen h id little to say about the matter. f‘*r the •*’her -Mr had all the law.

Dr. I aim. n marked that the board of health w «hj 1 probably proceed at once, and pr. .* nl t'c bid v\ Jjen the work was done. No further action sa- taken in the matter.

alcohol Ah a Medicine.

Leading Physicians Think it Dangerous and do not Prescribe It.

Dr. N S. Du\h, president of the recent international medical congress at Wash- ington, and ex-president of the Ameri- can Medical association, says: “I deem alcohol a most dangerous medicine—so dangerous, in fact, that it should not bo given when a substitute can be found for it. In 30 years I have not prescribed it, not because it cannot be prescribed at tunes with advantage, but because it can l>e substituted by other medicines which are not so dangerous m their habit forming effects.'*

The London Lancet, a medical journal of the highest authority, the greatest among the medical journals of England, if not of the w*»rld, says in sulmtanco that th*- u***- f alcohol i>- so fraught with danger 1*-cause “f the liquor habit that may follow its us** that it should 1*» pre- KTil*ed by j sicians with great cautiou.

EASIER ACCESS THAN EVER TO AMERICAN

MARKETS — THE NEW TARIFF FKAMEl*

TO F A YOU THE EMtlJSH

The leading trade journals that art

now coining to hand from England in dirate, more and more every week, hov» interested, and how excited even, th< British manufacturers are txvomingovei the prospects if si'curing their lion’i share of onr manufacturing industries. When the Wilson tariff was first mad* public, it whs considered advisable tc muzzle the British bulldog, and it wa*

evidently prearranged that the barking should 1m- done behind the kennel, at any rate where it would not attract the eye of the Ann m an eagle. But the anxiety, the d»\-.r tue eagerness, to snatch om business from us proved too much foi their discretion, and w© learn from one

p-ij- r. altout the woolen trade, that the “prospect <*r an increased business with the States is. however, very h**|»oful.”

Again, further: “Should it (the new bill) pass m its proposed form, it will make a great difference in the export of the lower class*-s of woolcus, upon which the specific or weight duty weighs so

heavily This will l*» a crucial point in the di*< usMon of the bill. Nothing can l>e fair* r than an ad valorem duty, but the difficulty always exists that there are unprincipled jieople who invariably underdeclare values, an 1 those who make honest declarations are made to suffer for the faults of others.”

This will be cheering news to our woolen manufactur* r-. particularly as the fact is recognized nbr ad “that there are unprincipled p- •;>.* who invariably under- declar.* valu-sd But we like to keep the Im n* \v> till the last, and that is what the Bra Tor i England corresj* indent write* to lie* I-xtib* Manufacturer, which is publish' 'I in Malic!)* **f,*r.

To exemplify what the tariff will mean | to Bradford trade, I will jn.-t in a sen- I leut-e M'.ww now li win allt.i t worsted coating-i. which f.trm half f the Brad- ford export.© to America. A worsted mating co>ting m Bradford 2 shillings a

Under the present McKinley tariff it co.-ts in New \urk 1 >u p-r cent inure and under the tariff whim preceded the McKinley duties llsi per .-i-t more. These figures have not been previouMy stated, nor have others which I am going to give, i A good deal has Ik * n made out of th© fact that liie American manufacturers under the new tariff will get their raw material fret, and statements have been made that this will almost nullify th© ririiefiti con: rred by the tariff in thi shape of reduced duties.

Now, fr. w.-»l t.j America—fur thi fir-t time since America has been a conn try -must .• an t•» wool staplers ic Bt .VdlA j — :‘!C 1. V'Z U \\ nxx V. Vo- tvioer oi tiie wool trade of the \v..rld—a largo in. crease «.f business.. They will have fai

N«*w. take t he Bradford manu facturers. and how free wool to the American m anufacturer will affect tui Bradfor 1 makers is a cjuestion that hai not yet been thoroughly gone into. Six : teen j of greasy wool will product 10* p.i.mi.- of top. That 10* pounds ol tup will spin into 0 putmds «.f yarn. Tc make a 10 ounce cloth r* juires 16 poundi of yarn, v.idch represents about 35 pound of wool.

The American manufacturer, undei the new tariff, will get in 2 pounds oi 1

wool free, up n whi-'h he will receive 11 cents jH-r pound reduction—i. e.. 25 1

cents on t2 i»oumls. The McKinley j tariff maim, the American pay for that piece 1-70 |>er cent on the Bradford cost. The new tariff will make him pay 4%± j>ei cent on the Bradford cost. There is 10C per cent less •.uty on tlie manufactured article from Bradford, and the American manufacturer will only get 22 cents con- cession on his wool—for the 2 poundi that produces a yard of cloth. That wool costs, say, H* pence a ponnd in Bradford. I nder the new tariff th© American manufacturer will pay about the same. There will be no duty. H© will give 17 pence, therefore, for his 2 pounds of wool. At the present time he pays 17 pence plus 11 pence duty, or 28 pence.

He will get his raw material, therefore, for 66 per cent less under the new tariff, but then the importer in New York will pay for the cloth of the Brad- ford manufacturers 100 per cent less than he does now. How under such circum- stances can the free wool clause hurt th© Bradford manufacturer? It is a mattei not yet clear, from the American tele- grams, whether tops and rovings will come under the class of “crude” materials. which, like raw materials, are t<j

To become an accuiav- -hot with the rifle requite-* years of practice; ami in far*. I never -aw a person who wa- con.-id red a flue .-hot, under twenty years of ag. I he eye and muscles of the arm r» quire, ut least, five years’ training. Shooting game ou the river is the ino-t difficult of all shooting; yet. when it is thorough!* understood, it i.s n »t difficult.

Large game running amongst tr*es will puzzle an amateur hunter to -hoot; but it is easby done, if he knows how. I h iv«

heard of persons who cou.d jump their r;il *, a- they term it, upon a deer runuiug over rough ground, but I never -aw on-

The only sure way i- to foreiay the game. Look ahead for a clear spot n>.|

Shooting ou a down grade, persons who •have not considered the matter are apt to

over—hoot. The philosophy of this 1-, not that the eye is deceived; but tha* the bullet mow- on a line tending towards th*- centre of tbe earth, therefore, does not lower so much as when moving on a -• V* 1 ami the < pposlie tak* s place, when shooting up hill.

The people should be reminded, also, that the consumption of beer (according J to the last government report) has increased from two millions of barrels, iu 1*62. r<» thirty-five millions of barrel-, in 1893,—this being an increase of over seventeen times during the past thirty years, while the population has only doubled,—and now averages three bairels of beer annually to every voter or family in the United States, while the consump- lion of other intoxicating liquor has also largely increased. It is significant that while this increase has been going on the arrests for crime have also increased five- fold during the same period.—Demote*?* Magazine.

The Love That Kills. It is not enough that wives must feel

that they have the love of their husbands, writes Edward W. Bok in the February Ladies' Hume Journal. They shou'd know it, and be told of it. Thoughtlessness ami a misunderstanding of the nature of wom-

en are at the bottom of all this unexpressed love.

There is plenty ■<( love abroad In this world, and a great part of it lies in the hearts of our American husbands. But it shouldn’t lie dormant. Win n it does, it is the i ve that kills. It. should tie given voice ai d a- often an 1 ns warm v as the heart dictate'*. A go <1 wife a stand a

tremendous quantity of love—all that any inau can give her. The danger li< s rather in not giving enough than in giving too mi.ch.

It is not an unmanly thing for a man to love his wife, although one might readily believe so from the way some men go

about it. Neither is it sickly, matclliij nor

sentimental to show It. But < n sf it were a’l these and more, what of ir?

Wh has a prior claim to a ! i-baud'- love, and who a better r g’>t t know it? What is it that men d f r tin ir wives that 1* at all an iquivalent for what wives do lor their Im-hand-? l*r.»\ide f them? That’-, a duty and in.thing more. In some

things tt i> well that we should go a little farth» r t linn the duty line

The mo-e husbands remain lovers the better it will be for the wl\ es of our la in I. It is the expre-srd hue of a I m 1 -1 > .1 ■ I that makes a \vif« radiantly happy, and nothing else can t k** its place.
