HIDES AND WOOL
In a late issue ot the Indianapolis Sentinel the tact is mentioned that hides were put on the free list in 1872, and that since that time all leather industries have made a wonderful growth, exportations of suoh goods greatly enlarged and the goods lessened in price at the same time for home consumption. And it is to be inferred from the artiole that the wool tariff should be removed for the same reason. The tariff on hides was not designed by its authors as a protective measure, but was simply for revenue, nor could it afford such protection be it ever BO high, as would de velop the hide industry. There is not BOW, never was and never will be such an industry in this country The raising of wool is an industry and enters so much into the daily life of every person, that it should through a spirit of independence be developed. We should not be left at the mercy of other oountries when in need of wool and woolen goods. When it comes to developing industries it will be found that there is a vast difference between the woo1, ind hide industries. One can be developed and the other cannot. There is another factor that should not be lost eight of in the matter. No one bus ever asked that a tariff be kept on hides in order that the industry might be developed, while on the other hand Congress has been flooded with petitions and petitioners pleading that wool be not pat upon the free list. It will be time enough to talk of putting a tariff on hides when some one has invented a plan by which two hides can be made to grow on one steer, or two steers be made to grow where one grows now, and find a market for the beef at a price that will warrant a farmer in raising them. The judicious use of a little common sense is oftentimes a good thing in solving tariff questions, the same as it is in other matters.
SCHOOL CHILD BUS TO GO TO THE FAIB. The proposition of the Monon to carry the school children ot this county to and from the World's Fair on Thursday of next week at a specially low rate' ie certainly a liberal one, and there Bhould be a hearty co-operation among teachers, parents and the people generally- to make thie event one that will be memorable in the school life of every child in the county, if suoh a thing were poeel ble. The propoeition is open not only to the schools ot Grawfordsville, but to every school in Montgomery county. The round trip will cost each child not in the High School $1.75, and $2,25 tor High Sohool pupils. The children will be divided into blocks of twenty, each block to be in charge of a teacher who will act as ohaperon, and the entire excursion to be under the general su pervision of Prof. I. M. Wellington. It will thus be seen that the care and com fort of the children will be looked after in every detail. In running these excursions for the ohildren the managers of the road take extra special paina to avoid all possible accidents. With the children it is the opportunity of a life time. It will be worth to them more than a three months' confinement in the school room. The White City will soon be the vanishing city, and to catch glimpse of that marvel of the ages would be of inestimable educational advantage It is not expected that in the two days they will have that they can take in the details of the exhibits, but the White City as a whole should be indelibly impressed upon the camera of their young minds. Such a picture would be a fruitful source of pleasure and enlightenment.
AT TH£ EXPENSE OF THE PENSIONERS HOKE SMITH has sent in his estimates for the next fiscal year, ending June 30, 1895, wherein he makes it appear that, in his opinion, an aggregate of $176, 779,134.26 is needed for the several branches ot the publio eervioe under his control. He seems somewhat proud of the fact that this is a decrease fiom last year of $3,308,496.18, the total then being $180,087,630 44. But he omits to call public attention to the suggestive fact that he gets all, and more than all, of his apparent saving oat ot the Pensions Bureau. His estimates show a decrease for pensions Ot $5,000,000. Further than that, in order promptly and fully to keep from the old soldiers every cent possible out of their rightful dues, he wants an increase ot $1,000,000 for examining surgeons, $100,000 for clerk hire, and $300,000 tor expenses of investigations. This is a total of $1,400,000 which he must have in order to cut down the pensions to the extent of $5,000,000, and the Secretary proposes to make the old soldiers pay it all.
A horde of Democratic officials must be paid with money taken from the pensioners.

A HARD-TIMES REMEDY
How Did Th»r Transport Mammoth Rocks to Build a Mysterious Cavern? On the shores of Brittany there is a mysterious relio of forgotten ages which escapes the notice of most travelers, says the Million.
Far out in the Morbihan so a—across which legend tells us Arthur sailed with his knights in pursuit of the dragon—rises a little island. It can be reached in a boat from the coast only in a calm sea. A Breton shepherd has a solitary hut upon it and feeds a few sheej^
Crossing the grassy slope off which they browse the traveler finds himself at the foot of a hill, in the face of which has been excavated a great tunnel or cave, floored, walled and roofed by huge flat rocks.
Even with our modern engineering knowledge and machinery it would require vast labor and skill to bring these enormous blocks of stone and place them so securely as to defy the wear and friction of ages.
No man can afford to have a sick Wife or Daughter, nor, in such times aa these, A big Doctor bill Zoa Phora cures the sickness, saves the bills.
VANISHED PEOPLE.
Some archaeologists say tnat this cavern was the work of the worshipers of the serpent god or Hoa—a race that has passed into oblivion.
The unlearned traveler knows only that the mysterious cavern antedates all history that the rocks of which it Is built came from the main land, a distance of more than one hundred miles inland. No rocks like them make any part of the geological formation of the island.
How were they brought here by men who had, perhaps, few mechanical appliances—nothing but the strength of their bodies and their faith in a strange god?
The race who built the temple are dust. Even their names ages ago perished from the earth. Their religion is vanished. These stones are the monuments of their indomitable resolution. That defies the flight of 3-eurs.
CENTURY OF COINAGE.
Onr Mints Have Been Turning Ont Coin Jnst 100 Years. The present year completes the century since the mint was fairly established and began the work of making coin, says J. B. McMaster in the Forum. A review of that century makes clear to us that the first great currency question with which the country had to deal was whether there should be a national coinage, or a legalizing and rerating of the debased foreign coin of pre-revolutionary days. The chartering of the banks of the United States and the rise of state banks settled this question and gave the country a paper currency based on foreign coin. The winding up of the second United States banks and beginning of gold mining brought up in 1834 the second great currency question, which was, shall the money of the country be, hard or soft, metallic or paper? The gold coin act of 1834 was the attempt to settle this, and brought on the first bimetallic discussion ever held in congress. The attempt was a failure. A false ratio and the unexpected discovery of gold in California demonetized silver, and the fractional silver coin act of 1835 marked the second effort to preserve and remonetize silver. Once more the effort proved vain, and the acts of 1873 1878 and 1S60 followed.
Ancient Use of Asbestos.
Asbestos is a mineral fiber of the horn-blende variety. It derives Its name from a Oreek word which signifies "indestructible by fire." The ancients were familiar with its uses and the modes of obtaining it, yet, strange to say, always alluded to it as a vegetable production. It was used in all their funeral rites, but particularly where cremation was practiced the corpse being wrapped in an asbestos cloth so as to keep the ashes of the dead person from mingling with those of the wood or other combustibles used in incineration of the remains. The people of Egypt and many other countries of the ancients, especially the royal and wealthy classes, made towels, napkins, tablecloths, etc., of asbestos, and cleaned them by throwing them into the fire.
Disfigured For Life"
Is the despairing cry of thousands afflicted with Unsightly skin diseases. Do you realize what this disfiguration means to sensitive souls It means isolation, seclusion. It is a bar to social and business success. Do you wonder that despair seizes upon these sufferers when Doctors fail, Standard remedies fail, And nostrums prove worse than useless? Skin diseases are most obstinate to cure or even relieve. It is an easy matter to claim to cure them, but quite another thing to do so. CUTICURA REMEDIES Have earned the right to be called
Skin Specifics, Because for years they have mei with most remarkable success. There are cases that they cannot cure, but they are few indeed. It is no long-drawn-out, expensive experiment. 25c. invested in a cake of CUTICURA SOAP Will prove more convincing than a page of advertisement. In short CUTICURA works wonders, And its cures are simply marvellous,

Climbing Ftshcs.
Although one naturally supposes to and generally does find the genus pisces inhabiting the water solely, there are curious exceptions to the rule. An instanoo may be cited in the species known as the "climbing perch," which not only travels long distances over dry laud which separates one stream fiom another, but is likely to climb a tree whenever the opportunity affords. The curious creature has a peculiar arrangement of the upper part of the head, which is provided with water cells, the fish using this store of water to keep his gills moist on a traveling expedition or climbing tour.
Sunshine in the House.
"I'm weary with work!" the good wife slglied: "But after all," she said, "It's sweet to labor for those we love-
No wonder that maids will wed." A wise housewife lightens her toil and gladders the home circle by her cheerfulness. But health is the lirst requisite, and her first prepogative. Health follows the use of Dr. Pierces's Favorite Prescription, which repairs the ravages caused by those peculiar diseases which afflict womankind, enriches the blood, cures the couch, increases the flesh, prevents hysteria, nervousness and low spirits, and is a veritable fountain of health to women, young and old.
