CURLING IRON. t Bate KeUa Areaad IS y pair of curling irons with many stroaff points of excellence have just been brought out by an English firm. The jaws are opened by means of the small lever projecting, which is worked by a finger or thumb independently of the grasp upon the main handles of the appliance. Having gripped the lock f hair to b3 curled in the jaws, the taming of the iron is accomplished in the simplest manner possible. The longer arm of tho iron passes through a collar on tho lower part of the main handle, and terminates in a pin, which works in a strut projecting from the same. On the upper part of the handle, which hinges, is fixed a ratchet which engages on a suitable pinion on the spindle. By simply squeezing the two arm? together the tongs are caused to mako a revolution on their own axis, and so curl tho hair. It will be evident that with very little practice tho oparation is performed very rapidly, without tho tiring process of turning the wrist and without the necessity of reheating the iron. Seamanship ramt and r reseat In tho past, seamanship was the chief thing. In the present, seaman ship, in tho old and strict sense of the word, holds a very subsidiary place. When tho triads and tho waves .and the tides could not b3 forced and had to be humored, the mystery of dealing with these elements was a wortky study for a whole life. But to-day we force the xrinds, the waves and the tido3, and humor them very little. The seaman is in process of becoming the engineer; every year he becomes more and mora the engineer, and I am certain thit a much briefer exper ience of the sea than was formerly needed is now required toward the formation of tha good oiticor.

I HOW IT AFFECTS THE FARM ERS OF THE COUNTRY. A Stateaoeat Showlac Ita fiatcs ef Daty Ceeepared with These Under the He Klaley and Wilson Laws Aaaple Pro tectiea for the Farmer. (Washington Correspondence.) The following statement shows the rates of duty imposed by the new tariff bill just introduced in the house of representatives, upon articles in which the farmers are especially interested. This relates both to the articles which they produce and which they want thoroughly protected and also to the articles which they use in considerable quantities and regarding which they are equally interested as to the rates of duty fixed by the new,bill. The Republicans in the house of rep representatives have broken the record in the matter of promptness touching the new tariff bill. Congress met in special session ten days after Presi dent McKinlcy .'as inaugurated and within three hours the hor.se had or ganized by the election of officers; rules had been adopted; the ways acd means committee had been appointed, the tariff bill had been presented in complete form and had been regularly referred to its proper committee with the understanding that it would be re ported back to the house before the end of the week and passed that body within a fortnight. The provisions of the new bill are extremely satisfactory to members of congress representing the agricultural districts and agricultural interests. All of them who have had an opportunity to examine it epeak iu lite highest terms in regard to it. No man in con gress is better able to judge of the bill and of its prospective work than Gen eral Grosvcnor, of Ohio, who, as a" member of the committee, has studied every article and item carefully, guarded the interacts of the farmers closely and consulted with the farmers of his agricultural districts regarding the important features of the bill which affected not only their own in terests but those of farmers generally. Speaking of this feature of the bill he said: "The farmer will, find; first, general protection of his product in the form of tariff duties levide upon articles of importation of every character such as he produces in the United States. Thus, the development of the sheep industry we have taken up and resumed at tho point where the Wilson bill destroyed it, with the hope; first, of a profitable industry directly, and second with the hope of diverting a vast amount of agricultural lands of the middle west the west and the northwest from the productions of agricultural grains, veg etables and fruits, to the production of sheep, and secondly in the same direc tions stands the protection to sugar. So far as the wool features of this bill are concerned, the protection is very much better for the sheep grower than was the McKiuley law because of one great feature, the removal -of the pos cibility of fraud by the importation of carpet wools, which at once, on their release from the customs house, became clothing wools." The following statement, gives in the first column the rates of duty pro posed by the new bill; in the second column, the rates showing the present Wilson tariff law, and in the third col umn those of the McKlnley law. It will he seen that in almost every case the rates are much more advantageous to the farmers than those of the present law and in many cases superior to those of the McKlnley law. This is especially true with reference to wool, the explanation of which is found in the remarks of General Grcsvcnor quoted above. These should he ex amined carefully. Ki3 ctatement upon that subject is important because with out it the reader not skilled In the de tail of the tariff matter would not un drstand the advantages given to the fanner by that feature of the bill which prohibits the classification of coarse clothing wools under the carpet wool schedule, by which under the Mc Kinley law enormous quantities of wool used iu clothing came into the country at very low rates. It was this feature of the wool schedule of the McKinley law - which proved damaging to the wool producing interests of the United States, but the ways and ra;ac3 committee has taken advantage of -the ex perience thus gained to make their classification such that th!s will be pro- vented m the future. Thus, while the tariff rates on wool under the proposed bill appear the same to the unpracticed C-e as those of the McKinley law, they are very much more favorable to the wool producer; so much so that no doubt is entertained of the prosperity of the wool producers as well an of the farmers generally under the new bill when it becomes a law and has had time to adjust itself to conditions. The rates named by the new bill, compared with those of the Wilson and McKinley laws, upon articles in wl!ich the fanners are interested arc as fol lows: " Cattle valued at no; more than jro a head, if cue year old anil over, per C.'title Ji;ss than one year old. per head Cattle vclutil at racre than 10 per head Ilci;3 ...'.....

The Whole Civilized World Watches Product of the Little Worm. It is interesting to notice how this silk industry is watched in both hemis pheres; how the persons concerned follow it day by day in its laborious processes, from the moment when the eggs of the worm are gathered to the moment when the new spinnings come to increase the stocks of the previous year, says the Chautauquan. By the side of the telegrams which inform everybody about the daily movement of the custom houses, about the purchase and sale of large estates, and the prices of the chief commodities, are found other dispatches which announce how the silkworms' digestion was yester day, indicating that in Japan they eat with good appetite, in India they ap pear melancholy, and in Italy the breeding is going on regularly, but that in France some hindrance to the activ ities of the worms is greatly deplored. Nor must the more or less active sale of the manufactured goods be lost sight of, for it is the caprice of a group of pretty Parisian women, combined with the busy imaginations of some fashionable tailors, which will decide if the weaker sex of this planet during the next season shall be clothed in satin; taffeta and gauze, to the great profit of the silk industry, cr if, on the contrary, the women shall dress in cloth, mohair, or even Ilneu. So that the investigating eye of the wholesale merchant must reach everything, from the insect which has just hatched in Chinato the new fashion which ha3 just hatched in Paris. WINTER EPIDEMICS. Tho Terrible Microtia ClonU Kverywber for II! Victim. Catarrh microbes arc guests with a proclivity for introducing their rela tives and another puzzling problem 13 the management of children that are always apt to catch cold, says the Chautauquan. After months of snif fling and coughing the little patient perhaps begins to complain of pains in the throat; tho trouble may result in croup or comething worse and the alarmed mother makes up her mind to take no risks if she can help It. Out ings are suspended altogether; in win ter the windows are probably nailed down to exclude every breath of cold air; but after all the youngsters can not be expected to submit to a perpe tuity of indoor confinement. Their wistful looks as they linger about the window suggest a desire for a change of scene and their mother at last con sents to take them to meeting or to the new museum. But that expedient is an appeal from demons to Beelzebub, and a graphic humorist with a good deal of hygienic insight describes a crowded, over-heated meeting house as a place where "Freddy's cough germs establish a colony in Tommy's throat; old Jones consumption mi crobes hover about in search of vic tims and Smith's departing influenza takes a fresh grip on Jackson's lung3." Rismnrck's Intrljacs with Austria. "A-letter written from Berlin to a London newspaper says that Dr. Heln rich Friedjung is about to publish a book on "The Struggle for Supremacy in Germany, 1859-1866," in which he will give an account of information given hixn by Prince Bismarck with regard to the ex-Chancellor's proposals to Austria in 1866, before the outbreak of war, for a partition of Germany be tween Austria and Prussia. As both powers were then armed to the teeth, they could havo imposed their will upon Europe. The proposal, it Is said, was kept secret because it would have involved the political subordination of the Bavarian crown to Austria. Prince Bismarck went even further, and, in his own words, proposed that Prussia and Austria should make a united at tack upon France with a view to the cession of Alsace. Austria was to take Strasburg, Prussia Mainz the calcu lation being that Napoleon could do nothing, his army having been demor alized by the Mexican expedition. Poverty. Our American civilization Is the wonder and the disappointment of the world. Our institutions are new, yet they exhibit "the rust and stiffness of old'age.

The Empress Catherine kad warn heart for. the ladies of her eowt. WaUasewski relates in the new vol usm of his history that Catherine, noticing that the beautiful Mile. Petoeka, who had lately come to court, had no pearls, immediately com manded a fancy dress ball, to which the girl was bidden to come as a milk maid. Then, while Mile. Potock. was dancing, tho empress slipped a superb necklace of pearls into the pail she carried, and at her exclama tion of wonder said: "It is only the milk, whioh has curdled." A Shiatsu? Exaatpte. 'Mr. Peabody, who was an Ameri can," said Dean Hole the" other day, 'was one of the greatest benefactors of London. His houses built for and occupied by the workmen are models which every great city would do well to copy. At a flower and plant ex hibition in London which I attended four or fro years ago, I was surprised and delighted to find that a large num ber of the prizes for the best plants went to psople who' were dwellers in Mr. Poabody's houses. That shows whataTbetter atmosphere will do for tho working classes. Public gardens and parks and workingmen's clubs, I think, are always conducive to tem perance. But peoplo will never be made temperate by constraint. To secure temperance is impossible by mere human obligations and 'vows.

This fattens the liver until it bursts and of course makes the goeso very sick. Then they aro killed, and their livers taken out and put into oil.

A lady while engaged in tha par salt of her domestic duties encoun tered a mouse in the flour barrel. Now, most ladies, aader similar, cir cumstances, would have uttered a few genuine shrieks, and then sought safety in the garret, but this one pos sessed more than the ordinary degree of genuine courage. She summoned the maa-servaat and told him to got the gun, call the dog and station himself at a convenient distance. Then she clambarcd half way upstairs and commenced to punch the flour barrel with a pole. Presently the mouse made its ap pearance and started across the floor. Tho dog at once went in pursuit. The man fired and the dog dropped dead, the lady fainted aad fell down the stairs, and the man. thinking that she was killed, and fearing that he would bo arrested for murder, disap peared and has not been seen since. t The mouse escaped. Amusing Jour nal. Potatoes as Peahetdera. "It is surprising." said a com mercial traveler, "how general tho use of potatoes as penholders is be coming in hotels. I havo seen them in use in great hostelrie3 of the East, whoso owners wouldn't hesitate for a: moment to spend $10 for a desk orna raont to hold pens used by the guests in registering. The mixture of starch, glucose, and water in the potato seems well adapted to take up im purities or ink, and to keep the pea point clear and bright, while the alka loid of the potato, known as solanino, doubtless has something to do with it in tho same line. These elements readily take up the tannato of iron, which is tho body substance of ink. Chemically speaking, starch is the first base of a potato, and sugar or glucoso is the second base. Thus is tho hurablo jKt.tto finding another way in which to serve the uso of man kind.

In ono of the New .York stores one of the girls who sits up aloft and dispatches money to tho cashier by way of tho brass tubes is known to her companions by tho endearing namo of "Chauuccy Depow." The reason is not very clear. Perhaps she bas a gift for humorous speech making. At any rate, when the lit tle blue-aproned cash-girls wish to attract her attention they stand in front of the counter and chant, in sing-song fashion. "Chaunuey, Chauncey, Chauncoy Depew. Chaun cey, Chauncey Depcw." Then she acknowledges their salutations and answers their requests amid much giggling. The other day a woman of inquiring tniud asked ono of tho other clerks to explain tho reason for this pseudonym. "Huh?" saiu the young woman. "Why do tho cash-girls call the girl up thcro Chaunccv Depcw?' repeated the questioner. "Oh, I dnnno." ruplied tho cleric, indifferently.
