He cited the barb wire schedule as an exam ple of sharp practice, and pro ceeded to tear to flinders the committee proposition that a rate of SL'.TO per loo should be charged. He said that as to this particular manufacture ol wire the senators from states where it is chiefly produced had not been consulted, but now a tacit agreement lias been reach ed which he believed will event ually place a rate of <1 per UK) upon this product. Mr Burkett added smart to wounds on Aid rich left by Dolliver’s great speech,” Senator Burkett is making a splendid tight for western interests, and his home people are applauding every time he scores a point. SOUL OF A LITTLE CHILD Nearly all women are fond of jewels, and one of the most ac ceptable gifts they can receive is a valuable piece of jewelry. They take great pleasure in wearing it. or looking at it and showing it to others, and they are very careful not to injure it or to lose it: but tar more preci ous than rubies or the most costly jewels of earth are the souls of the little children com mitted to their charge and often so lightly valued by them. Few mothers, no matter how bad they may be in other re spects, are indifferent to the health and comfort of their children; and there are few mothers who will not sacrifice a great deal In order to secure these things for their little ones. In the care of tins precious t1 ur.t even a conscientious I mother often errs, because she does not realize clearly enough how sensitive a child s tnind i». ' and how quick to note every word and action of those around him. it is not enough for par ents to fullill the promises given at the baptism of theirebi d.that they will see that lie is taught ! “those things necessary for his ‘soul’s health* ” in the firm of prayers and his religious duties: for unless the lives they lead in the home agree in every parti cular with what they teach him, their labor will likely be in vain, so far does the force of example outweigh the spotten word. __ THERE'S A REASON (ine of our competitors per sists in speaking lightly of our new linotype machine, saying that we can’t do brief and boon work with it, etc. There’s a reason!

The selected candidates have to sign engagements promising to marry convic ts and to settle in New Caledonia for the remainder of their lives. On these conditions the gov ernment transports them, gives them an outfit, and a tickct-of-lcave when they land at Noumea. Their marriages are arranged for them by the governor of the colony, who lias a selection of well-behaved convicts ready for them to choose from; and each girl may consult hot own fancy within certain limits, foi the proportion of marriageable nice to women is about three to one. it lias happened more than oim that pretty girls have been wooed b\ warders, free settlers or time-expin-i soldiers and sailors, instead of In convicts. In such eases the governoi can only assent to a marriage on condition that the female convict s free lover shall place himself in the position of a ticket-of-leave man and undertake never to leave the colonv.

The possession of two eyes lines not confer upon us any advantage; one of them serves to show us the good things, and tho other the evils of life. A large number of people have acquired the had habit of slan ting tho first eye, hut very few shut the second; and that is why there an so many people who would rattier he blind altogether than see all they have to see.

We must vindicate the right of each man to do what he likes, and : > say what lie thinks, to an i\n . much greater than is usually sup posed to he either safe or decent. This we must do for the sake of so ciety, quite as much a- for our mvr. sake. That society would he bene fited by a greater freedom of action has already been shown, and tin same thing may be proved concern ing freedom e«f speech, and of w; - ing.—Thomas Henry Buckie.

THE BACHELOR CYNIC.

CARELESS CONVERSATIONALISTS “What caused that awkward break I in the conversation?” “gome one dropped the subject.” * THE ELEVATED HANDSHAKE. -w It Originated as a Fashion—Em. press Josephine’s Lace Handkerchiefs. ' appears that some of the pres ide'. fashions owe their origin to W'icui defects. The elevated one "f tin* and a Paris contemporary throws an in (resting light upon its origin. It ippears that a ]>rincc% a leader of • i< tv in the French capital, had a ihuncle or some such inconvenient •Hid painful growth on his shoulder. Whenever a friend gave him a hand liiike the operation as far as the i nice was concerned was most pain el. To prevent this he raised his and horizontally to his shoulder, and, if we may use the expression, had ‘‘the whip hand.” This new method of handshake was the astonishment and admira tion of certain persons always on the lookout for the latest in society, who thought that the prince had in augurated a new fashion which one Wes daily in operation in the Strand. The dainty lace handkerchief which ladies use owes its origin also to the defects of nature. The un happy Empress Josephine intro duced the fashion. She suffered from had teeth, and living in the time when American dentistry was unknown, she cast about her for some means lo hide the defect. The cambric handkerchief with rich lace was the outcome. If the empress wished to laugh or had to open her mouth widely the handkerchief was requisitioned. Again, yellow lace has its origin in sadness, according to tradition. A lady of distinction had lost her lms hand by shipwreck or some other cause. She was impressed with the idea that lie would return and vowed to continue wearing until lie was re stored to her the lace which adorned her dress when she said farewell. I,ike Josephine's handkerchief, her ntimates thought her soiled lace was an innovation in fashion and adopted means to copy it. EGYPTIAN GOLD MINING. An Egyptian mining center— probably worked as early as 2500 11. C.—was in the eastern desert, be tween (lie lied sea and the Nile. The lately discovered remains described by ('. J. Alford include small ir regular stone huts, arranged in groups of two or three, to towns large enough for 1,000 men. The ancient workings are buried in sand. The only vestiges of mining appli ances are elliptical rubbing stmes for coarse crushing and quartz mills for reducing the rock to tine pow der, ready for washing out the gold. TOO TAME FOR HIM.

A physician in a small town in northern Michigan got himself into m serious predicament by his inabili 1 ty to remember names and people. ! <>ne day| while making out a pa • Cent's receipt, his visitor's name es caped him. Xot wishing to appear so forgetful, and thinking to get a ciew, he asked her whether she spelled her name with an e or i. The j lady smilingly replied: “Why, doc . tor, my name is Hill.” IDENTIFIED. “This,” remarked Mr. Cane, “is my photograph with my two French poodles. You recognize me, eh?” “I think so,” said Miss Softe. “You are the one with the hat on, are you not?” MOTIVE IN DOUBT. Jinks—Mr. Manton says he never spoke a harsh word to his wife. “Yes,” remarked a lady, “hut was that due to kindness or caution? That’s what I should like to know.” FOR BIRD CROP GUARDS Campaign t o Save Insect-Eaters Will Sweep Nation New \ ork, May 21: Protec tion of the insect-eating birds, whose destruction caused a crop loss of almost a billion dollars to this country in the last year, will be made a campaign issue throughout the nation as the re sult of a general movement which wa-organized in this city today. Backed by the granges and other bodies representing the farmers, orchardists, ranch men and planters of every sec tion of the land, the National Association of Aubudon Societ ies is preparing to obtain from every present and prospective representative of the people in every state in the union definite declarations of their stand on this question of the conserva tion of the bird resources of the of the common wealth. Where the forces of the milliners have been able to exert political pressure to legalize their poaching upon the feathered guardians of the crops, the people will rise this year to demand that their own interests be protected, it was declared by leaders of this new campaign today. Representing an industry val ed at less than $12,000,000,a few I {road way feather dealers have just succeeded in defeating in this state the Francis bill for the protection of the insect-eat ing birds, behind which agricul tural interests worth over half a billion dollars were solidly ar rayed. In spite of the united efforts of the 83,000 farmers represented in the state grange and the Audubon workers, who were backed by the press and people of almost every commun ity in the state, it was reported today that the hiring of a law yer “whose political inlluence was undoubtedly used to pre vent any open consideration of the bill on the floor of either branch of the legislature” bad I with other machinations of the milliners resulted in legalizing for another year their traffic in property that belongs to the state. As a first step in the general national campaign for the birds who guard the crops, the'record of each legislator on this matter will be submitted to his constituents and every effort made to secure from each dis trict in this state representa tives at Albany next year who will be pledged to heed this strong demand from their agri cultural supporters. California, Missouri and Ok lahoma have just been reported as adopting laws defending laws defending their bird crop guards against the ravages of the fea ther dealers, which are substan tially the same as the bill which i the milliners have just strau gled in this state Similar laws forbidding the sale or posses sion of the plumage, skin or body of the insect-eating, non game birds “irrespective o f whether said bird was captured or killed within or without the state’- are already in force and working for the protection of the iarmers in Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts. Michigan, Miss issippi, Souili Carolina and West Virginia. From every other state and territory in the land communications are being received at the headquarters cf the movement today urging an immediate effort to rouse the people to campaign for their leathered crop protectors against the forces of the millin ery interests.
