A i.owkk tariff moans lower wages.

What recompense does the lioruian tariff law make to labor? It reduce wages, but it taxes the incomes of th rich. Hut what good does that do labor?

Tiik llavermeyer tariff law protect--some departments of labor fully, and it leaves others insufficiently protected or unprotected altogether. As Hourke Cochran remarked it is a "protection measure in spots."

Lcthjcr thus touches up

Congressman lirooksliire aud hi* de fense of the Administration on th pension question in his speech delivered in that city last Saturday night:

Mr. 15rookshire had a great deal to say about pensions, but there was one important statement he forgot, and that is that during the heartless on slaught made by the Cleveland administration last year, 15..VJ0 names of pensioners were stricken from th rolls without notice. To regain these pensions it was necessary for the pen sioners to re-submit their eases, furnish evidence aud be re-examined. In other words these old soldiers were stamped as frauds and then compelled to furnish proof that the charge was untrue —a course of procedure that no court in the land would permit against tli vilest criminal, and a stigma so unjust that popular opinion forced the rescinding of the order.

Foi: instance, suppose a laboring man is getting one dollar a day for his wages and paying 50 cents a bushel for ..'Potatoes. Now suppose the price of potatoes falls to 25 cents a bushel.

Isn't that equivalent to an increase of •25 cents on that man's wages'.' Would lie not be getting after the decline in fact SI.25'.'—Artiits-Xneii.

Not so by any means. lie would be saving only 25 cents at each purchase of potatoes, and not each day. Suppose the laboring man is employed by one whose business is raising potatoes for the market. How is the laboring man to be benefitted by a reduction in the price of potatoes? If the price of potatoes was still further reduced, even to 5 cents a bushel, how could the potato raiser pay the laboring man?

Apply the same rule through all the ramifications of industry which employ labor and you have the same result. We still stick to our assertion that a man's prosperity is governed by his wages and not by the price of potatoes.

TIIK JNCO TAX.

It is well enough for all to understand the income tax law and be ready to meet its requirements. It is a levy of 'J per cent on the excess of all in. comes over §4.000 with the following* permissible deductions:

First, the necessary expanses actually incurred in carrying on any business, occupation, or profession, and also all interest due or paid within the year on existing indebtedness second, all national, State, county, school, and .municipal taxes, pa^l within the year, not including those assessed against local benefits: third, losses actually sustained during the year, incurred in trade, or arising from fires, storms, or shipwreck, and not compensated for by insurance or otherwise: fourth, debts ascertained to be worthless, but excluding all estimated depreciation of values and losses within the year on sales of real estate purchased within two years previous to the year for which income is estimated: provided, that no deduction shall be made for any amount paid out for new buildings, permanent improvements, or betterments, made to increase the value of any property or estate.

VOOKJIKKS' CLOSE ALL. The Philadelphia Inquirer is reprinting daily from its tiles the principal dispatches relating to the war, just thirty-one years after their first appearance. In the issue of the Isth appears the dispatches of September 17. IsC.'J. and one of them is an Indianapolis special giving an account of the attempt to hang Daniel W. Voorhees by soldiers in his congressional district. This is the ammunition which Senator Iugalls held in reserve during his famous bout with Senator Voorhees four or five years ago. "The Tall Sycamore" did not return to the attack and ijena. tor lngalls never found the opportunity to fire his parting shot. The story as it appears in the Inquirer is as follows: "The 2d Battalion, r»:id Indiana Volunteers. returned from Terre Haute ou Saturday. Most of the men were raised in D. \V. Voorhees' district, and one company is from his old town.

Learning that he was on the train, the soldiers broke for the car where he was, dashed in the door and, in spite of the presence of his wife, threatened to hang him by the bell-rope if he did not get off the train, telling him that no man who called American soldiers Lincoln's dogs, who, when the war was over, would wear collars so labeled, should ride with them alive. The officers interfered and forced the men back at the point of the sword. A second and third attempt was made, but failed through the eutreaties and commands of theollicers. Voorhees solemnly protested that he had been belied and that he read but one class of papers. The answer was that they had seen his speeches, and that was enough to show that he was a traitor. At last he was informed that if he would quietly leave the train at (irecncastle he might do so, but that the 'Kid never would ride into Indianapolis on the same train with hirn or any man who would abuse the soldiers who were lighting for the Union and the Government that protected him as well as them."

This episode occurred soon after Daniel's celebrated speech at Sullivan in which he denounced the Union soldiers as "Lincoln dogs/'

GLASS WORKING.

The Delicate rroeet»n Is Attended with Much t'tirortKlnty. A writer in the Optician states that glass is a substanee which, as the glassblower says, has a will of its own. It is very often diilicult to tell how a particular piece is going to act under certain conditions, even after having tested other pieces of the same "batch.*' W hen subjected to the heat one end of a tube will sometimes respond differently from the other end. This is in a measure due to unequal chilling, occasioned possibly by a sudden draug-ht of air while it is in process of manufacture. Jso piece of glass is absolutely reliable. Its working is, therefore, at certain stages, most uncertain, and one person may have entirely different experiences from another. It is eliameleonlike, and every process succeeds better with those who seem tu have a knack which is generally obtained by long practice

The cutting of glass heads the list of the uncertain processes, for it has no definite cleavage, and its separation is modified by the surrounding tempera ture. The simplest separation is on flat glass in a straight line. Here all that Is necessary is a deep and regular scratch with a glazier's diamond, firm and speedy bend away from the main piece, and the parts crack along the desired line. These glazier's dia monds may be purchased aud generally prove satisfactory, but it is more economical to purchase from some diamond cutter a small splinter, and insert this into a piece of brass rod having a small hole drilled into one end.

Ihe splinter should now be cemented with marine glue and the brass rod filed a little upon the side nearest the ruler, to obtain, after trial, the best cutting angle for the diamond. Another instrument for cutting glass less expensive than tlie diamond is the glassblower's knife, which is a piece of thin steel tempered glass hard by heating it cherry red and then plunging it into ice-cold water or mercury. The edge should be sharpened by rubbing it upon an old, rough emery grindstone until fine saw-like notches appear. It is then ready for use and should, if much used. Vie sharpened repeatedly.

To cut tubes, carefully scratch at right angles to the «xis a deep notch, either with the diamond, a triangular file or a girths blower's knife. Iloat a piece of glass rod until a small globule appears on the end and press this upou the scratch. The glass will thus be heated more? at this point than at anv other: an unequal expansion takes place, the scratch giving direction to the lino of fracture, aud the tube cracks evenlv if its thickness is uniform. In the case of variable thickness uneven edges result, and these must be filed down to avoid sharp, cutting splinters. Many recipes and directions have been given for cutting bottles. Wetting an asbestos string with turpentine and setting it on fire produces considerable heat in the glass immediately underneath it. By quickly removing the string and plunging the bottle into cord water the unequal strain takes place and the parts separate. It is this hseating of the heat that causes the glass to crack as we wish it. The easiest method, if the means be at hand, is to employ a platinum wire, which should be heated white hot by the passage of a heavy electric current. Hy wrapping the wire round a heavy bottle or jar and allowing the current to pass for ten or fifteen seconds the stoutest, walled vessel may be easily separated if touched on the heated line with a cloth dipped in water.

SOUTH SEA LEGENDS OF FIRE

A Whal- 1111(1 tin Air llriiROn F.ncli HcUotimI tu Have Orlglimtpil Flume. The South Sea Islanders tell a curl* ous story of the origin of lire. If they aro to be believed, says the St. Louis Republic, they came in possession of that useful element in the following manner: A great whale was onco washed ashore upon one of their islands during the prevalence of a terrible hurricane. The monster became entangled in a grove of yellow trees (a species of evergreen whose branches easily ignite), and, while gnashing his teeth in his impotent rage, struck off a spark which lighted the grove and consumed both trees and whale. Fires which aro said to have been perpetuated Hinee the day of the "great whale

are"'

may y«t

be seen burning In many parts of tha island. Another lire legend, bejicved in by

the inhnmtams oj uiu tsiunns to mo north of the ones in which the "great whale lire" is preserved, is to the effect that a great airdnigon (probably lightning) breathed upon a tallow tret* and set its branches on lire. From the coals left from this tire they learned of its great value, and have ever since used the element for domestic purposes and in their religious eereiuonies. They also have a tradition that the time will eomc when the dragon will return for the lire, and that no man will be able to withstand him aud save the scored spark except he be a person born with pink eyes, fair skin and white hais*. For this reason the birth of an albino is always hailed as a good omen, and his or her person guarded with jealous care, so as to preserve life to its utmost limit. Marionette mentions seeing a "lire god" or "fire guard" (albino) while on his visit to the islands, who was believed to be at iea.sl one hundred and lifty years old. and who had always been provided for by the tribe.

Kallhiesque, who made South Sea Island myths ami legend a study for years, is of the opinion that the return of the dragon for his lire is symbolic of death and the tlight of the spirit.

An Fncanny lilrd.

One of the most fantastic birds is the laughing owl of Florida and some other southern parts. He sits well up in a tree late at night and emits a series of loud, strange ha-has that sound like half-human laughter. The sound is suflleieutly terrifyiug to a nervous camper unacquintcd with the habit of the bird, though less gruesome thnn the unearthly call of the Chesapeake loon, heard at all hours of he night along the shores of that bay.

From all sections of this great country. No city so large., no village so small, but that some womae lias sent us her words of joyful thanks for health restored.

From San Francisco Mrs. .Oetwiler writes, from her Laurel Ave. home, that she unwisely left her room all too soon when her baby was born.

The result was an aggravated case of displacement of the womb that wholly prostrated her.

The doctors tried medicines, apparatus, andshe suffered everything. 1 decided to try Lvdia K, Vinkham's Vegetable Compound. Theeffect was wonderful, and, thanks alone to her,lam nowwell."

Mrs, Kate Morris, 100 Mulberry St., New York, says:

For years 1 suf­

fered with woiub trouble. 1 was so sick and nervous that I could not stand or sit, the pains through my hack made ine crazy. 1 tried several doctors hut found no relief. I was advised to try your Vegetable Compound. I did, and to-day am a well woman."

From far-away Texas comes word from Mrs. Jennie Arthur of the town of Taylor: 1 did not know what rest was for months. I was so dizzy aud faint at times I thought 1 was dying, and. oh, how my back did ache! 1 am a living witness of the miraculous effects of Mrs. l'inkhain's Vegetable Compound. Relief came with it at once. I sleep allmght,aud am now as well as ever in my life.''

From the

great state of l'enusylvania, Mrs. L. Travis, of Tliurlow, tells a similar story of utter misery resulting from womb trouble all the fearful results of this dread trouble was upon her when the Lydia Vinkham Vegetable Compound came to change the whole current of her life, and she ends up her letter by declaring: I owe all to you."
