" Reader, citizen, brother, do you airply thia little story? Did you ever hear of the tariff? Have yon noticed that tha fight on thia tariff question has been Conducted bo that when one section of country goes for it another section goes against it; and when tho last sec tion goes for it tho first section goes against it? Ilavo you observed that while all thia awful row is going on about the tariff nothing is being dono for the country? Have you suspected that while tho Pullwoois scheme to fiet you at each other and look on while yon fight like a lot of faols, they (the Pull wools) are gathering in the shekels? Dj you believe tho tariff is any nearer solu tion than it was ten years ago? Don't you know the Pullwools don't want it Bottled? Don't you know that when the Democrats had the making of a tariff they presented one which was 5 percent, less than tho one which they professod to be fighting? If yon don't know the.-o things, you ought to begin to think. Ah! how foolish we have been! What dupes wo have allowed ourselves to be! How mucn longer are we to go on in thi.i way? How ranch longer will we allow the Pullwools to pull tho wool over our eyes by flaunting "tariff," when tho ail important questions of na! ional finance and a nation:d prosperity of individuals are left unnoticed aud unconsidered?

The prosperity of the farmer comes by spurts, and through tho miofortanes of others. If the American farmer has a good crop, and the farmers of other countries have not. tho American farmer pe-U a price for his produce that pays. If the rest of the world h.is good craps iw well as America the price the farmer gets is below cost, and leads to ruin. This is not the state of things that should exist. The farmer should always be fairly prosperous with the rest of the community. He is not so; he is prosper ous only when some othors are suilerers. Now the American farmer is having a spurt of prosperity, because he is bavin? I a good crop when the European harvest i cont- la a failure, ext year those conditions may be reversed. This is not the kin 1 of a career the farmer should have. lie 6hould have a full average of good things with the rest; and a fair public policy in the common interest would Insure him such a career.

Men have arly learned the law of self preservation. They specialize. They choose that pursuit and that recreation which best snit their natures and then needs. Does not the artist steadily re fuse to be a merchant? Does not the broker refuse to paint floors ? Does the historian oxp-oct to be equally learned in astronomy ? Does the want of knowl edge or experience in any business or study prevent appreciative and respect ing intercourse between men? Let a woman realize, then, that she cannot compass the universe. Let each woman quickly take account of her stock in trade, of her mental endow ments, her capacity and her strength, and from these let her select what is oest lor lier to lo and to lx?. What ever is wisest for her home that trin ity of husband, children and self is her better part, which can never be synonymous with mere pleasure, self indulgence or stagnation. Let her then resolutely turn her back upon all those ambitions foreign to this purpose, for no thoughtful wo man will find her aims too narrow ge company, j even when she has restricted her aims as mucn as possible. Let her not be deceived into rpasmodic efforts in other directions by other women whose aims are not like hers. Let her not attempt to reach for their successes, or look upon her own as in significant or insufficient, for she will soon find in a wisely ordered, tranquilly lived life happiness and strength "which shall not be taken away."

C, described a tribe of locust eaters in Ethiopia, who were accus tomed to secure their yearly supply of food by setting much combustible ma terial afire in a valley when the swarm of locusts pajssed over, so that they were stifled by the smoke and fell to the ground in vast numbers, to be subse quently gathered in heaps with salt and so preserved. Owing to their peculiar diet .these people never lived to grow old, being eaten up by maggots which bred in their fleslj. Locusts are much used for food In Africa today.

Hie fire in the Leiter house was a sad blow to the social ambitions of the fam ily. With one daughter in the height of beldehood and another having just made her debut, the Leirera had arranged a social campaign of great splendor. On the very day that ushered in the ehort season of nine weeks the home was dam aged by fire. The most pathetic thing about the disaster was the destruction of a part of the Parisian wardrobe of the young iadie3, recently imported at a cost of h000. Poor Nannie Leiter, bundled out of bed and the house in great haste, caught a glimpse or a number of her blackened and burned Worth gowns, and straight way went into hysterics. At the house of ilr. Bock, a neighbor, she lost all con trol of herself for a time and filled the air with her lamentations. Her grief was short lived, however, and she is now as gay and charming as ever in the full whirl of Washington society. The rental paid by Mr. Leiter to Mr. Blaine has been generally overstated. When Mr. Leiter took the house he did pay $11,500 a year, but when the lease was renewed some time ago the rental was reduced to f3,000 a year and the taxes and insurance, or $8,500 in alL Washington Cor.
