Episode.
About Hands,
"Please, Uncle Jack, what Is that,
forV ' naked Peter, picking pp an @44
looking little ornament @f pink e@fah
IUV.1 shaped very much like iir.vh tin/
flngeva,
Oh, that,1 said Bstlt l&@lt, irirhlnrf
the little trifle over and rmiliny, “is
hat fuiperatltioua peoole in Naples
wear to xvnrd off the evil influences of
r.ny one they suapaefc of witchcraft,
Sometimes, if you happened to live or
be visiting in Naples, "yen would see
people do this, put the tinv.no in tlio
middlo of their hand, fold the second
and third flngor ovor it, and with the
first and fourth fingers, held straight
like horn3, point toward anyono they
believe possessed of an evil oyc. It
is one of the many ancient signs of
the hand.”
“What signs?” said Pctor, who
dearly loved to ask questions.
“Why, don’t you know,” replied hie
uncle, taking Peter’s hand in his,
“that nearly every gesture you make
with your hands has come down from
the most ancient of times? For in
stance, when you shook hands with
Mrs. Brown, who just want out, you
followed one of the oldest of customs
that began in the days when men
shook hands to prove that they meant
no harm to each other and carried no
weapons. When you lean out of the
carriage window and kiss your hand
to your mother on the doorstep, you
arc following an old habit of the
Persian sun worshipers, who first laid
their hands on their mouths, and then
lifted them toward the sun.
“Nowadays in England those who
are presented to the queen kiss her
hand, which is a token of reverence
and submission, as old as the days of
tho Trojan war, when King Priam
kissed Achilles’ hand as he asked for
the body of his bravo dead son, Hec
tor. Julius Caesar, the great con
queror, never permitted tho common
folk to kiss his hand, but in his pres
ence they kissed their own hands. In
Morocco no one in the presence of tho
emperor mentions the number five,
because it represents tho hand that
holds the scepter and power. Tho
Turks call the hand an emblem of the
creator. Tho fourteen knuckles repre
sent the beads of their rosary and the
five fingers their five great rules for
religious life.
“Among the early Christians the
thumb, first and second finger were
thought to signify God, his Son, and
the Holy Ghost, and that is why those
three fingers are held up when priests
in the Catholic church give what is
called an episcopal blessing. Long
ago, in marriages, the ring was in
turn slipped over the thumb, first and
second fingers, and finally left on
the third, to show that a man gave
his allegiance first to the Holy Trinity
and lastly to his wife. It was then
that people believed the third finger
was possessed of unusual virtues be
cause a rich, pure vein of blood ran
from its bottom knuckle to tho heart.
It was made tho ring finger for that J
reason, and in time of plagues doctors
mixed their drugs with it, thinking
it the only finger free fvom taint.
“In these later days it has been
found out that there is no vein run
ning, as wa3 believed, but it remains
the marriage finger by custom. Per
haps one of the strangest supersti
tions about hands is that a century
ago it was believed the hand of a man
who had been hanged would cure
warts if touched by an afflicted per
son, and that the hand of a man dead
on the gallows would open the strong
est lock if merely touched to the key
hole, moving the bolts without a
sound, and housebreakers were sup
posed to carry such a hand among
their tools.”
And here Uncle Jack hurried out of
the room, leaving Peter still gazing
at his own hard, brown little hand,
that never before had seemed so in
teresting in his own eyes.—Chicago

The Froail liooster.
There was once a proud rooster. lie
stood most of the day on a little
mound in the middle of the chicken
yard and crowed defiance to the
world.
“Everybody look at me! See what
a fine rooster I am! Admire my brill
iant feathers! Hear my thrilling
voice! I am the lord of the earth!
Cock-a-doodle-do!”
The hens, and chickens, and geese
and ducks, aud turkeys, were all
dreadfully afraid of him. When he
was not crowing on the hill he had an
unpleasant habit of biting at every
one that came near him. And no one
ever dared to take a bite until he had
all he wanted to eat.
The little chickens grumbled at the
rooster’s disagreeable ways when
they were out of his hearing. They
kept as far from his path as possible.
One day a neighbor's rooster flew
into the yard. He strutted about a
while before the proud rooster saw
hun. Ah, there was a fine chance!
The strange rooster was not so old or
so powerful as he.
“How do you dare to come into my
world!” cried the proud rooster, in a
rage.
lie flow at the unlucky fowl, and
gave him such a savage pecking that
the cowed rooster was glad to escape
over the fence, thankful to get off
with his life.
“Ha! ha!” cried the rooster, mount
ing his hill, “I can conquer the earth!
Cock-a-doodle-do!”
“Good gracious!” said Harry, who
^jis passing with Spitz, as usual, at
his heels, “what a noise that silly
bird makes! Drive him off, Spitz,
Hake him stop crowing!”
Spitz was willing. Ho had long
hated that rooster, Ha jumped oyer
the fence into the yard,
“Another foe!" erowed the rooster,
“See me put him to flight! Cockrft?

He flew at Spitz with such fury tha$

A EooSc.vso for D073 mi! Cir'e.
A email bookcase is c, first-rate gixb
for any boy or girl who cares for
books, and it need cost scarcely any
thing. A boy’s skill will be required
to do tho planing, nailing and paint
ing, a girl's to mako pretty drapery
for tlio front of tho bookcase.
Got a bo:; from thirty to thirty-sir
inches long and proportionately wide.
It need not bo very deep, just deep
enough for tho books. Remove, tho
cover, reserving the boards for shelves,
if they are fit. Smooth and plain tho
box, and shelves, and if there are any
hollows, 311 them and the nail holes
with putty, putting it on with a chisel
or putty knife, to make all as smooth
and fiat as if it were wood only.
Screw in cleats on either side of tho
box to hold the shrives, arranging
them so tho shelves will bo various
distances apart, to accommodate
different sized books. The largest
space should of course be at tho bot
tom. Then paint box and shelves on
all sidos, allow to dry, and put in the
shelves. Black paint looks well al
ways. A little railing around the top
will ornament the book-easo very
prettily. Set empty spools of uniform
size all around the edge of the top, so
that the spools touch each other, glu
ing them firmly in place. A narrow
strip of wood or lath is then fastened
along the top of the spools, and all is
painted black. Some touches of gold
paint on tho spools will have a good
effect.
A slender gilt rod with a curtain
will add to the looks of the bookcase,
and will prove a friend in need if
there are not many books to put in,
by concealing the empty spaces. A
yellow curtain will do finely if the
bookcase is painted black and gold.
A plain maroon one, with some
Arabesque border outlined, in rich
yellow silk, or tinsel, will also be
very effective.—St.Louis Star-Sayings.

BRIGHT YOUNG GIRL.
/\ WELLESLEY COLLEGE STU
DENT WHO TALKS TARIFF.
An Example to Be Knroaragcl Among
Studf*nl« in Otli<‘r <olf«*grx—Women
Should Enclerstand Wlmt Involves the
Labor of the Men.
In the gymnasium of Wellesley col
lege, March 17, 1S04, the debating
society called the Agora, which is
composed of select members of the
three upper classes, and of which Miss
Laughlin was president, held an open
meeting which was largely attended.
The society resolved itself into the
Pnited States senate, the vice-presi
dent, Miss Elva II. Young of Spring
field, Mass., in the chair, and trans
acted business after the manner of
that dignified body. Taking up house
report s,b(i4 (the VVilson tariff bill as
it then stood), its provisions, and in
cidentally the tariff question in gen
eral, were discussed by Miss Cecilia
Dickie, ’95, of Truro, Nova Scotia,
who was recognized as “the senator
from Wisconsin,” and by Miss liertha
C. Jackson. ’91, of Westborough,
Mass., “the senator from Indiana,”
cn the democratic side, and by
Miss Annie Hamblin Peaks, ’90,
of Dover, Maine, “the senator
from Massachusetts,” and Miss
Gail Hill Laughlin, ’94, of Portland,
Maine, “the senator from Rhode Is
land,” on tlie republican side. All of
their speeches would have done credit
to the senators whom they assumed
to represent. The speakers used do
manuscript and scarcely referred to
notes, and all of them spoke with
fine elocution.
The speech of Miss Laughlin at
tracted far more than local attention,
and won commendation from tariff
experts and distinguished men.
Miss Gail Ii. Laughlin was born in
llobbinston, Maine, May 7, 1808, and
is of Scotch and Scotch-Irish descent
In lo71 she moved to Pembroke,where
her father died when she was only 7
years old.
In November, 1S70, she moved to
St. Stephen, N. 15. Her stay there
was a series of word-battles on be
half of the advantages of her native
land. In August, 18S(>, she moved to
Portland, her present home. The
campaign of that year marked the be
g'.nningof an intelligent interest in
politics and a real knowledge of party
issues.
In 188d Miss Laughlin graduated
from the Portland high school
with first honors Within a week
after graduation she was at' work
both for her living and for the
money to enable her to secure the col
lege education for which she longed.
After four years, during the last year
of which she was head bookkeeper for
Charles E. Jose & Co. of Portland
Miss Laughlin entered Wellesley
One of her first acts there was the
formation, in connection with her
friend, Miss Maud Thompson of Ne.w
York, of a political club, now the
Agora, before which the following
speech was delivered. Of this society
Miss Laughlin has been president
throughout her college course. Dur
ing that time the society—the center
of progress and independent thought
—has grown to be the largest and
most influential one in Wellesley.
Miss Laugnlin intends ultimately to
study law.
In the course of her remarks Miss
Laughlin said:
“The great mistake of the demo
cratic party is dividing the people in
to consumers and producers. We are
all consumers, we are all producers.
The farmer consumes the product of
the manufacturer, the manufacturer
consumes the products of the farmer.
Republican policy was crystalized
in the McKinley bill. True to the
principles of the protective tariff, this
bill admits free all products which
can not be produced in this country,
except luxuries, and puts a duty suf
ficent to measure the difference in
the cost of production on all articles
which are or can be produced to
this country. Nor is the McKinley
bill a return to the old war tariff.
Those who claim it is are guilty of
the grossest ignorance or the most
culpable perversion of fact. The
average rate of duty in the McKinley
bill is lower than that of any other
protective tariff act in this century
except the compromise tariff of 1S33.
lower than the free trade tariff of 1S46.
The McKinley bill puts on the free list
55 per cent of our imports, puts an
average tariff of 45 per cent on the re
maining 45 per cent, making an aver
age duty on all imports of about 21
per cent. The Walker tariff put a
duty of 25 per cent on 88 per cent of
our imports, making an average duty
on all imports of about 25 per cent
[Applause.] The rate under the Mc
Kinley bill is lower on an average,
but the principle is different.
Nor has the McKinley bill created a
Chinese wall about the country. Dur
ing the first year of its operatiou
both exports and imports in
creased. It has protected labor.
The reports of the labor com
missioners of New York, Massachu
setts and Indiana have proved this. It
did Dot increase the cost of living.
The report of Ihe senate committee of
investigation showed this. It has
created new industries.”
ImliiKtrhtl I'rogreuH of Chili.
Through the bureau of American re
publics of the department of state we
learn that the Chilean government has
vigorously taken up the question of
industrial progress and seeks the co
operation of the local agricultural,
mining and manufacturing societies.
In order to augment the productive
manufacturing power of Cliili. the
Society for the Promotion of Manu
factures lias suggested to the govern
ment that the sum of 8000,000 be dis
bursed annually, for a number of
years, as premiums for the establish
ment of certain industries, to be di
vided as follows:
To Amount.
Ironworks capable of producing a
certain number of tons ot iron
per annum.5200,000
Cotton mill. 50,000
Linen factory. 50,000
Nitrate of potash factory. 25,000
Superphosphate factory. 25.000
Glass factory. 50,000
Earthenware factory. 50,000
Sack factory. 50.000
Hat factory. 25,000
White paper factory. 25.000
Match factory, wax or wood. 25,000
This attempt to foster and develop
the production of manufacturing en
terprises in Chile is to be supple
mented by extensively advertising
the possibilities of that country in
these several directions. To the manu
facturers in the United States it opens
up a nrospeet for further competition,
especially in Soutli American trade,
which is of equal interest to both
labor and capital.
The Prodigal's Return.
WHILE THE LAMP TTOT.DS OUT TO BURN
TIIE VILEST SINNER MAY RETURN.
Against American Ciieese.
The editorial staff of tile New York
Herald lias begun to write school-boy
essays on the tariff, brought about by
the possibility of the editors being un
able to enjoy sueli luxuries as English
Cheshire cheese or choice Duth Edams
as cheaply as they can buy wholesome
American cheese. Their lament is
that the specific duty together with
the transatlantic freight in one of
the foreign steamship lines, for
which Mr. .Tames Gordon Bennett
is always endeavoring to secure
freight at the expense of American
shipping, will prevent the general con
sumption of English Cheshire cheese
and choice Dutch Edams, because
they "will be far too high for the
pockstbooks of most Americans.”
This very fact, preventing their
general consumption here, will
naturally create a greater demand for
American cheese among cheese caters.
Consequently, while it is true that “the
government will derive but a trifling
revenue,” it is not true that "the j
American farmer will derive no bene- i
fit.” Any tariff that prohibits the 1
importation of foreign goods increases
the demand for similar American
goods, and this is the aim and object
of a pi'otective tariff. The theories of
the Herald's schoolboy economist are
not as good as his appetite for English
Cheshire cheese and Dutch Edams.
We can hardly blame them for this
appetite for foreign delicacies, as it is
the result of the teachings promul
gated by Mr. James Gordon Bennett
in his anti-American paper.
Where the Farmer Feels It.
A sing:e year of tile threat of free
trade caused a falling off in the con
sumption of corn from 30.33 bushels
per capita of our population down to
23.6G bushels, a loss of G.GT bushels.
This decreased the total demand for
corn by 450,225 000 bushels and the
farmers know well that tiiey got less
money for their corn in 1893 than in
1892. When people are busy and
factories are running there is more
hauling of goods and more work for
horses. A teamster earning good
_—.
when he is barely able to feed himself
he must cut down the rations of his
horses. Protection means prosperity
to the teamster and consequently to
the farmer.
A decrease of 8184.101,220 in the
value of our domestic exports in a
single year is a serious thing. But
this is what happened in 1893. as com
pared with 1892, and shows what took
place during the first year's threat of ;
free trade.
lion tlio Supreme Court I* Opened.
To begin with, there is a degree of
dignity and stately bearing about the
court and its members, which jx'imeates
even to the most humble attache. There
is a quiet in the court-room which re
calls the Sablmth of the Covenanters.
When one enters, the involuntary feel
ing eomes on that tho room is set aside
only for the contemplation of tho sober
side of life, and woo to him who gibes or
jokes in tho august presence of tho
court. The court is opened about this
fashion: At, 12 o’clock (noon) the
Justices come in from tho consultiug
rooms and take their scuts on the
bench. Away to the left of the cham
ber is seen a youthful officer, whose
business is to catch the tirst glimpse of
the advancing Judges. Then comes
three raps with a ponderous gavel by
the same oflicer. This is meant as 11
signal for the audience to rise. Then,
with tho Chief Justice in advance,
the Judges enter from the right of the
chamber. To the rear of the Jus
tices’ seats is an aisle. In tho cen
ter is an arched entrance for tho Chief
Justice. Through this aisle the Judges
tile and take positions on the right and
left. None enter until the Chief Jus
tice emerges from tho center en
trance. After all have tiled in,the Chief
Justice makes a graceful oboi.anee to
the standing audience. Then the Jus
tices take seats, a stroke of tlio gavel is
made, and the audience seats itself. The
opening of tlio court falls upon a youth
ful official. It is after the old English
form, “Oh, yea; oh, yea,” etc., and con
cludes with the words, “God bless the
honorable Supreme Court. ” The court
is now ready for business. All tlio Jus
tices are clad in black silk gowns with
an ecclesiastical cut. In the dispatch of
business the Chief Justice is quite expe
ditious. He is always ready with a re
ply to a question, and eminently satis
factory. Tiie Justices on the bench as
sume different attitudes. Justice Miller
sinks down low in his chair, and but lit
tle can be seen of him but tho top of his
head. Bo also does Justice Bradley.
The Chief Justice sits erect most of the
time when not hearing an argument,
busy in consulting the calendar.

Peas in a Pod.
S. M. Andree, a Swedish scientist,
has collected tabular information show
ing the average weight of peas in their
pods. The lightest peas were always
nearest the ends of the pod. The aver
age weight of a pea was greater the
larger the number of peas in the pod,
so that the largest pods contained the
heaviest peas. The weight of the peas
next the point of the pod increased with
the increased number of peas in the
pod. With the exception of the first
and last peas there was but a very
small difference in the weight of the
peas in the same pod.

Serving: Toast.
Dry toast should be served directly
from tlie toaster. When this is not
practical, pile it on a heated bread
plate, cover it with a napkin and put it
on the hearth or in the oven. Toast is
given in all slight attacks of sickness
because it is so easily digested. The
more thorough the conversion of the
starch the mure easily and perfectly
the system will manage it. for the
change of starch into dextrine by the
action of the heat is simply doing out
side of the body what takes place in it,
in the ordinary eomrse of digestion, by
the action of the digestive fluids.
Therefore when this is accomplished
by artificial means nature is spared so
much energy.—Philadelphia Times.

Wire Shafting.
From a recent published estimate of
the strength of the proposed wire shafts
for steamships it appears that in this
important respect the most satisfactory
result is realized. When made in five
sections, with a total length of 100 feet
and 15 inches in diameter, the shaft
will have 25,000 Xo. 7 steel wires, each
25 feet long, with 50,000 fastenings,
and as each wire and each fastening
will sustain a load of 500 pounds with
out rupture or injury there is thus ex
hibited a total inherent strength of
some 37,500,000 pounds, or an amount
25 times greater than the continuous
force of an engine of 5,000 horseppwer,
which is indeed a signigeant showing.

THE HIGHEST AWARD.
lioyml Bskln{ Fonder In Strength and
Value 20 per Cent. Above Its
Nearest Competitor.
The Royal Halting Powder has the
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles of its class—
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly combined—wherever ex
hibited in competition with others. In
the exhibitions of former years, at the
Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the
various State and industrial fairs,
where it has been exhibited, judges
have invariably awarded the Royal
Raking Powder the highest honors.
At the recent World’s Fair the ex
amination for the • baking powder
awards were made by the experts of
the chemical division of the Agricul
tural Department of Washington. The
official report of the tests of the baking
powders which were made by this de
partment for the specific purpose of as
certaining which was the best, and
which has been made public, shows the
leavening strength of the Royal to be
100 cubic inches of carbonic gas per
ounce of powder. Of the cream of
tartar baking powders exhibited at the
Fair, the next highest in strength tiius
tested contained but 133 cubic inches
of leavening gas. The other powders
gave an average of 111. The Royal,
therefore, was found of 20 per cent,
greater leavening strength than its
nearest competitor, and 41 per cent,
above the average of all the other
tests. Its superiority in other respects,
however, in the quality of the food it
makes as to fineness, delicacy and
wholcsomcness, could not be measured
by figures.
It is those high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women of the
country for so many years, that have
caused the sales of the Royal Raking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to ex
ceed the sales of all other baking pow
ders combined.
Bye For Winter Pasture.
Rye sown for fall and winter pasture
and then given over to the hogs in the
spring wili pay in almost any locality.
Rye does not exhaust the land so much
as wheat, and on low, wet lands where
wheat will not grow at all, it will
thrive. On clay lands that will not
raise anything else we have secured a
fair crop of rye. As a “nurse-’ for grass
crops we recommend rye, as it does not
have as dense foliage close to the
ground as wheat or oats.—1’rairie
