A curious custom is made known by a correspondent in Berlin. The butchers of that town are in the habit of informing their customers of the days on which fresh sausages are made by placing a chair, covered with a large, clean apron, at the side of the shop door. The pearl shell fisheries of the Merguian archipelago, in the government of Burma, comprise 11,000 square miles. The gathering of pearl shells is the chief industry, though of course pearls are also found. The banks are rented from the government and rights to fish sublet ou a royalty. A Frenchman’s pipe recently saved him from disfigurement. He was attacked ly a discharged waiter, who threw a bottle of vitriol at his face. The bottle broke on the pipe he was smoking, sennit g the greater part of its contents iuto the face of his assailant, who was terribly burned. The first carriage supplied with pneumatic tires was built for the present Duke of Northumberland, and they were afterward adopted for the motor car, but the wheels were so constantly requiring repairs that the idea was finally abandoned. The cost was another drawback, the price of these being $1,250 a pair. The great pyramid of Cheops is the largest structure ever erected by the hand of man. Its original dimensions at the base were 764 square feet and its perpendicular height in the highest point 448 feet. It covers four acres, 1 rood and 22 rods of ground and has been estimated by an eminent English architect to have cost not less than $165,600,000. One of the best known of all the sculptured signs of Loudon still exists between two houses on the eastern side of Panyer alley, a narrow thoroughfare leading from Newgate street to Paternoster row. The alley has probably been named from this sign, which represents a naked boy sitting on a pannier or basket. The pannier was not an uncommon sign among the Loudon shopkeepers in olden times.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY. Major General John R. Brooke, who was recently promoted from the rauk cf brigadier general, began his military career April 20, 1861, when he enlisted in the Fourth Pennsylvania Volunteer infantry and was chosen captain of a company. In November of the same year he was appointed ccli.nel of the Fifty-third Pennsylvania volunteers. It was not until the next year that he saw actual service, but in his initial I fight, which was at the battle of Fair i Oaks, he acted with such gallantry and cool courage as to gain the commenda- ■ / lAJjw’ 'I -gW * Wot MAJOR GENERAL JOHN R.* BROOKE. tion of his superiors. He received a wound there, too, but was not disabled and fought all through the war with j the Army of the Potomac. He participated in most of the important battles and was again wounded at Gettysburg. He was brevetted brigadier general for gallant services at that battle, and at the close of the war he was mustered into the regular army with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Since then he has advanced slowly and has been in command of various posts in the south and west. Minister to Brazil. Edwin Hurd Conger of lowa, the new United States minister to Brazil, is not new to the office, as he was given the same appointment by President Har rison in 1890. Mr. Conger is a native of Illinois and is 54 years old. At the age of 19 he graduated from Lombard university and immediately enlisted as a private in the Union army. He came W ' «■ E. H. CONGER. out with the rank of captain. After the war he took up the study of law, and after practicing for a time in Illinois removed to Dexter, la., where he has lived ever since. He abandoned law and turned his attention to stock raising, farming and banking, in all of which he has been successful. He served two terms as state treasurer and for three terms was a congressman. Senator Earle's Successor. John Lowndes McLaurin, the new senator from South Carolina, is only 37 years old, but he has already served three terms in congress and has been prominent in public life for several years. Senator McLaurin began early. He was born in Marlboro county, S. C., and after being graduated from Swarthmore college, Philadelphia, studied law at the University of Virginia and was admitted to the bar at the age of 22. w 1W SENATOR M’LAURIN. Inheriting from his father, who was a prominent lawyer and was killed in the Confederate service, the gift of eloquence, be soon became known as an able courtroom orator. About this time he became a recruit in the new farmers’ movement and a lieutenant of Benjamin R. Tillman, then governor. He was elected to the state legislature in 1890, and the following year he was made attorney general of the state. Then he was sent to congress to fill an unelpired term and has been re-elected continuously ever since, being a member of the Fifty-fifth congress when appointed 1 senator by Governor Elierbee. Valkyrie ITI. “Lord Dunraven’s Valkyrie 111 will not be fitted out this year unless she changes hands,” is the statement made in The Yachting World. It is also asserted that George L. Watson is trying . to find a purchaser on moderate terms.

A GREAT CURSE. PROTECTION PAMPERS AND ENERVATES INDUSTRIES AND DEBAUCHES POLITICS. The Whole System Severely Arraigned by Frank lin Pierce-With Free Raw Mai terizls Our Machine Made Goods W <>ul<l Soon Capture the World— -Increasing < ost of Government — Mad Protection Riot Will Soon Be Over. I The principal speaker at the annual 1 dinner of the New England Free Trade league, held on May 8, was Mr. Frnnki lin Pierce of New York. He handled his subject without gloves. He said in part as follows: ■'Not only are the farmers beginning to appreciate the truth that protection j robs them and their families, but our ■ manufacturers, as the products of their looms exceed the demand of the. home market, are understanding that a protective tariff, especially upon their raw material, is against their interests. "The present population of the world is about 1,460,000,000. and only 400,000,000 use machinery at all. The rest do their work by rude tools guided by the hands, and we, the Yankee nation, who have revolutionized the world by our inventions, who use machinery to a greater extent than any other people, we refuse to allow the raw material which these 1,000,000,000 of nonmachine using people create, to enter our pqrts in exchange for machine made products, except upon the payment of excessive duties, while the more intelligent of our manufacturers are clamoring for free raw material and saying, ‘Give us free raw material, and we will conquer the markets of the world.’ “Instead, of seeking the markets of the world, employing millions of men now lying idle, making the margin of profits less but the output several times greater than at present, getting thereby a steady market and continued service for our laboring classes, our trusts and combinations are hiring their competitors to close their factories and throw tens of thousands of laboring men out of employment. “We have only to get freedom of trade and we can capture the markets of the world in many lines. What the Englishman is to the German the American is to the Englishman, and just as the German is crying out against competition with the machine made goods and high priced labor of England, just so would England cry out against competition with the machine made I goods and the high priced labor of America, were duties upon all raw materials removed. “We Americans walk faster, talk faster, work faster, dp everything fast- ; er than any other people on the face of the earth. A people of the greatest ■ natural vigor and the ; est enter- | prise in the world, we have pampered 1 our life and emasculated our strength and largely impaired the virility of our national life by a protective tariff. Manliness asserts its mastery in the same way in manufacturing as it does in every walk of life. The men in professions who ask no favors, but get out upon the dusty arena and fight for a lead, are the men who gain strength by every effort. Give us 10 years of free trade, and we would capture from England one-fourth of her vast trade. Give us 20 years of free trade, and we will lead the world as exporters. “The protective system has debauched public men and corrupted public life. Give any body of men, however pure, the power to take $100,000,000 from the pockets of the millions and transfer it to the pockets of a few men through an act of legislation, and you have created a corrupting power which will destroy the virtue and the patriotism of that body of men. “We shall never get rid of the evils which I have described until every dollar raised by taxation is paid into the national treasury; until we stop entirely this practice of allowing the right of government to tax property to be used for the purpose of allowing the manufacturer to prohibit importations, form trusts and rob our people of hundreds of millions of dollars each year. & “The remedy is in direct taxation. Every man has a right to know exactly what he pays toward the expenses of government, and direct taxation is the only means of stopping the lavish expenditure of public money. “For a period of ten years between 1791 and 1800 inclusive, with a tariff of 8% per cent upon foreign imports, and at the very time when we were going to the great expense of establishing our government, the cost of government was only $18.68 per capita for the ten years. From 1851 to 1860 inclusive, under a tariff for revenue only, the cost of government was only $21.88 per capita for the ten years. From 1871 to 1880 inclusive the actual running expenses of government had risen to $136.41 per capita, more than six times the amount required under a tariff for revenue only, and during the last ten years the cost of government has been increasing. "As a nation we can stand this lavish expenditure of the people’s money, but we can never stand the luxuries, the iniquities, the lack of patriotism which great wealth, quickly acquired, is sure to bring. “We can be robbed by a protective tariff and still live, but when the robber takes the money and buys special legislation and turns it over to campaign committees to buy votes with, the very life of free government is assailed. Nations do not godown to death in the momentous sweep of battle. They rather die from the poison which the lobbyist and the vote buyer infuse into the body politic. “The mad riot of protection will soon be over. The evidences of the revolution which shall destroy it are upon every hand. Its growth has been an evidence of what self interest and audacity and effrontery can accomplish as against the people not united by any bonds save those of the public welfare ”

Hnndrods of thousands of men of foreign birth have taken out papers declaring their citizenship in Indiana since that b'tate was admitted into the Union in 1816 without creating remark or comment. It was a different matter, however, when along in the forties the first woman of foreign birth applied for and received papers of citizenship. This “first woman citizen” was an Irish widow who settled in southern Indiana with her progeny of sturdy lads and elever lasses upon a farm which she had bought. “The Widow Ryan” as she was known in Daviess County, Indiana, was a great woman with a clever business head and left behind her those who grew to be worthy men and worthy women, und who have left their impress upon the State. One of these sons Janies B. Ryan became treasurer of the State of Indiana, and a son-in-law, M. L. Brett, also held that high and honorable position. Another son was the late Lieut. Col. Richard J. Ryan who was, probably the most brilliant and gifted orator that Indiana ever produced, and who during the war for the Union served his country in the Thirty-fifth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, better known as “the Irish Regiment.” Another son is Thon.as F. Ryan who is now 59 years old, and with a few intervals of absence has been a resident of Indianapolis for forty-two years. In the early fifties smitten by the gold fever he went byway of the Isthmus of Panama to California. He has been all over the far west engaged in mining and trade operations in Oregon, Arizona and Montana. From May, 1885 until August, 1887 he was the government agent at the Seal Islands off the Alaska coast, a highly responsible position. “ For ten years or more” said Mr. Ryan in conversation with a group of gentlemen

A Question of Diplomacy. He—Er —these stories your father tells about the things he saw out west, you know. She—Well? “Ought I to laugh at their improbability and make him think I am smart, or ought I to pretend that I believe them?” —Cincinnati Enquirer. Horrible Thought. “The bride was temporarily disabled in consequence of having fallen down a stairway the day before, and she made the bridegroom sit down by her side when the clergyman married them.” “I don’t think much of that bridegroom. He ought to have stood up for bis rites.” —Chicago Tribune. fl‘‘The Foot of a Fly” savs an eminent English doctor, “will carry enough poison to infect a household. ” In summer-time, more especially, disease germs fill the air, multitudes are infected, fall ill, die ; multitudes escape. These messengers of mischief do not exist for millions. Why not? Because they are healthy and strong —protected as a crocodile is against gunshot. It is the weak, the wasted, the thin-blooded who fall; those who have no resistive power so that a sudden cough or cold develops into graver disease. We hear of catching disease! Why not catch health ? We can do it by always maintaining our healthy weight. ScblK Smutsicn. of Cod-liver Oil, is condensed nourishment; food for the building up of the system to resist the attacks of disease. It should be taken in reasonable doses all summer long by all those whose weight is below the standard of health.
