had just turned at Barstow Cliff, and the beach lay wet and glimmering. under the level rays oi the afternoon’s sun, with ridges ofseaweed.pebbles and little gray shells heaped up here and there. Old Mrs. Bars tow, knitting in hand, sat in a wooden chair.

'Under the shadow of the hop vines; .and the city boarder, with her lap full of shells, was slowly sorting them over between her thin fingers. Mrs. llhrstow was brown and healthy looking, with blue eyes sparkling be- » hind her spectacle glasses and smooth bands of silver-streaked hair. The city boarder was pale and languid, with the bleached-out look, which one often sees in city boarders when first they come to the seaside. “I wonder, now,” said Mrs. Barstow, on hospitable thoughts intent, “what you'd like for supper. Miss Dady? A mess cf soft clams, b’iled, or a lobster? ■City folks mostly likes sea food, I've noticed. Or, if you’d fancy a fried chicken, Martin’ will catch you one when she gets back from carry in’ the mail to the lighthouse, and it won’t take no time to cook it.” “It don’t matter,” said Miss Dady, whose appetite was feeble, indeed. “Well, Marthy’ll see that we get something nice!” said Mrs. liarstow. “That's her boat now—p'raps you can see it out by the Point, like a little black speck dancin’ on the water!” “She must be quite a sailor,” said the •city l>oarder, listlessly. “She is that!*’ nodded Mrs. Barstow. “I’ve always said she'd bught to be a unan. She don’t take no interest in

THE HANGER SIGNAL 'the housework, and she's perfectly happy on the water. And that’s one reason I’ve tried my best to get the • lighthouse.” Miss Daily sat there, listening dreamily to this old woman’s chippering, cheerful talk. She herself had been so near the end of all things that -- .all else seemed of little interest to her. Life, love, youth, all had floated away from her and left her stranded like a wreck on the shores of time. She looked languidly up as Martha Barstow’s boat-keel grated on the .sand and that young person walked vigorously up the beach, with the ^strong, swinging footstep which belongs only to youth anid vitality. “Mother, what do you think?” cheerily cried out Martha. “They’ve got a boarder at the lighthouse!” “La, me!” cried MrU. Barstow, with Ler knitting needles suspended in midair. “Who’d want to board at the lighthouse! Out there in the middle of the sea, with nothin’ but seafoam and gulls to look at!” * “I’m sure I don’t know,” said Martha Barstow. “But - he was a-settin’ there on the iron top gallery, a-lookin' 'through a spyglass, when 1 drew up .alongside of the landin’ place.” “How did he look?” said Mrs. Barstow, who possessed all the curiosity in regard to detail that generally actuates people in her walk of life. “Tall and thin and yellow faced,” -said Martha, “Like the pictures of Don Quixote in the big book on Squire Seeley’s parlor table.” Miss Dady rose at this point and went slowly into the house. “I think I’ll lie down a little while,” ■said she. Martha came out to the cool, green •shadow of che hop vines again. ‘0lother,” said she, ‘‘Miss Dady ain’t a-gettin’ much better.” “No,” said Mrs. Barstow, “I don’t "think she is, poor creetur.” “Do you suppose she is very poor, -mother?” “Wal, I don’t reckon she’s got much means,” said the old woman, “else she’d ha’ gone to Watch Hill or Bar Harbor, or some o’ 'Ihem high-priced plaee$ instead of cornin’ to a cheap •corner like this. But she’s a nice, pleasant-spoken woman, and I’m proper sorry for her. But ain’t it queer, though, about the lighthouse people bavin’ a boarder?” “Miss Morton was sayin, mother,” •said Martha, as she broke off a little green curl from the end of the hopvine, “that he’d lost a great lawsuit and was very poor, and that his health had suffered. That was the reason he wanted sea air, and that was the reason, too, that he didn’t care to go where there were lots of folks.” w • Up at Cliff house, where they had “two sorts of butcher’B meat every day, and ice cream of Sundays,” •

grizzle-headed little attorney was talk1 ing to his friend, the legal luminary 1 of the village, after very much the same strain. “The longer I lire,” said he, “the more I become convinced of the oddity of human kind. Now, there’s Mortimor Clagett—you know about the lawsuit of Clagett versus Clagett, don’t you?” “I have heard of it, yea.” “Well, he’s just gained it." - “No—has he?” “And the strangest thing of all it, now that he’s got it he won’t take it. For twelve years he has been contesting the thing—and the Gleason Clagetts have been fighting him tooth and nail; and now that the courts have decided in his favor, he throws the whole affair up and clears out.” “In the name of justice and common sense, why?” asked Lemuel Starbuck. “That’s what I’d like to know myself,” said the .New York attorney, scratching his shock of gray hair. “1 can’t account for it any way in the world, unless—” “Well?” “Gleason Clagett’s niece is the only surviving representative on that side since the old man died—his wife’s niece, rather. And Mortimer Clagett used to be fond of Edith before this tormenting business of the lawsuit commenced. They haven’t spoken to each other for years, now, I believe, lie won’t take the property, and she has hidden herself away somewhere. It’s a come-down, 1 tell you, from six thousand a year to nothing at all. No woman would be apt to like it.” It was on the edge of twilight; the tide was coming in again. Miss Dady sat rocking idly to and fro in Martha Barstow’s boat, with the white kitten coiled at her feet, and a book in her lap. Every now and then the breeze lifted one of the light-browntoeks of hair from her forehead, and dallied with it, as if in sport; a faint flush of color had risen to her cheek as she turned the pages, of her book. A.l of a sudden she felt a peculiar sensation, as if she were moving; she looked up. The boat had slipped its moorings, and she was already some distance out to sea. The kitten was peering over the edge of the boat and mewing uncomfortably. The red stain of the sunset seemed turning all the waves to blood, while off in the distance the lighthouse rose up like a shaft of ebony against the ruddy sky. She uttered a little shriek—but there . were only tW sea-gulls and the plaining kitten to hear her. She looked instinctively for oars, but there were no oars in the row-locks. - “I am drifting out to sea,” she told herself; and then, with a sudden idea, she tied the scarlet-silk handkerchief, which encircled her neck, to the handle of her parasol, and waved it wildly towanl the lighthouse. “jBhere are rocks and reefs there,” she* thought. “I have often heard Martha Barstow say how difficult it was to land at the lighthouse. If one of those sharp, jagged ledges should saw its way through the bottom of my boat, then good-by to the red sunset and the sweet salt air, and the evening star that shines over yonder like the point of a silver spear! But I can do nothing—I can only wait.” Even while these disjointed reflections passed through her mind, a little boat had put off from the circular stone foundations stairs of the lighthouse, and was pulling steadily toward her. In its bow sat a tails, sallow-complexioned man, with a face like the pictured prince of “Don Quixote.” “It isn’t a little girl,” he said, aloud, as he neared the drifting boat. “It is a woman—it is Edith Dady!”. And she, looking intently at the man, who was coming with long, even oar-strokes to rescue her, smiled to herself and murmured: “It is Mortimor Clagett,” So they met, these parted lovers, the 1 last representatives of the rival sides of the famous law-suit of “Clagett vs. Clagett.” “There is no use trying to run away from me,” Edith, he* said. “Even the elements conspire against you.” “So you are the Don Quixote of this lonely tower,” said Edith, with a smile

“THERE 13 NO ISE TRTINO TO RUN A WAT FROM MR.” that, had somewhat of its old sparkle. “But you will hare to take your own fortune, for I will touch no more of it. ” “On one condition,” said Mortimer Clagett, Ml will accept it all—that you are to be mine also. Edith, I am speaking from the bottom of my heart. 1 mean it all.” “If saving my life counts for anything,” said Edith, with a quiver in her voice, “you have earned all that you ask. Dear Mortimor, fate itself has taught us that we ought not to continue this old feud any longer.” So they sailed out of the purple sunset glow back to the peaceful shore once ,more—back to hope,back to peace, back to infinite happiness. “And,” said Mrs. Bars tow, exultantly, “if anyone doubts this ’ere sea air is good for weak lungs let ’em just look at the way Miss Dady’s picked up since she came to Bars tow’s Cliff.” But Martha smiled. She was more keen-sighted than her mother. She knew that although sea air was a good tonic, love was a better one still, —Amy Randolph, in N. Y. Ledger,

CARNEGIE’S MIND. Whmt the Greet Feuwjrlnnh Menafeeturer Had la Hto Wad When Talklaf at Doty oa Iran. We published two or three days ago a dispatch from London saying that in the Engineering Review’s report of an interview with Mr. Andrew Carnegie that gentleman remarked that in his opinion the United States no longer “required protection," meaning a protective tariff, and we infer from the remaining works of the very brief dispatch that his opinion was based upon a comparison of American and foreign prices of the products with which he, as a manufacturer of iron and steel, is most familiar. A few weeks ago Mr. John Sherman, in the course of a long speech against the Wilson bill and in support of the McKinley tariff, made some remarks about the products of Mr. Carnegie’s factories and the duties on them. He undertook to show that the memorable conflict at the Homestead works had been caused by a reduction of duties on iron and steel products in the McKinley act. We quote the followtng: - “The reduction of duties on iron and steel was almost universal, and the duties on the kind of heavy articles made by Carnegie were reduced very largely. r. On beams, girders and joists there was a reduction of more than 25 per cent.; from ljf cents to 9-10 of a cent per pound. On railway bars, the articles that the Carnegies I suppose more largely make, the duty was reduced from $15.66, a ton (it was $17) to $13.44. It was the reduction of the duties which caused the trouble." And yet the government’s official reports, which this ex-secretary of the treasury undoubtedly befieves to be trustworthy, show that while the average ad valorem duty on all imported iron and steel products was 35 per cent, in the year ending on June 30, 1890, the last year of the old tariff, it was 55 per cent, in the first full year of the McKinley act, and rose to nearly 63 per cent, in 1893. We take from the treasury department’s reports the following summary, prepared for the use of congress, and which, in all probability, was lying on Senator Sherman’s desk while he was delivering that speech. It gives the value of imports, duties and average ad valorem rate of duty on iron and steel and all manufactures of the same tor the vears mentioned:

Aeerape Ad Vat Value of Hate of Import* Duties Duty 1890. #48,487.988 #15.384.175 35.37 1890 . 39,810,634 16.519.335 55.40 1893. 34.860,868 31.916.447 63.87 1894. (11 moi.) .. 19.452,763 . So it appears that in spite of that “almost universal reduction of duties on iron and steel,” the sum paid in duties in the first full year of the McKinley tariff on less than $30,000,000 worth of iron and steel products was greater than the sum paid in the last year of the old tariff on $48,000,000 worth. It also appears that in 1893 there was a still larger increase of the average ad valorem, the rate rising- to 62.87 per cent., as against 85.37 per cent, under the old law. This marked change was due both to a reduction of the cost of iron and steel products abroad, (a reduction even more clearly seen in this country), and to an increase of duties in certain parts of the McKinley tariff’s iron and steel schedule. There were reductions of duties, it is true, but as a rule the duties so affected had been prohibitory in the new one. Mr. Sherman was unfortunate in his selection of examples. The old duty on steel beams and other structural shapes of steel had been prohibitory in the bid tariff, in spite of the towering ring price maintained here by a combination, which, by the way, no longer exists. The new duty was also prohibitory. The old duty on rails made it impossible to import rails, although the rail combination was exacting a high ring price in this country. Owing to the marked reduction of the cost of production here, the new duty has also been prohibitory. It is to this reduction of the cost of manufacture in this country and the resulting reduction of prices that we desire to direct attention Mr. Carnegie had this in mind. The price of steel beams has fallen from $67.93 per ton to $33. This decline is due in part to the dissolution of the combination, in part to lower prices for raw material, in part to the perfection of manufacturing processes. If there were no tariff duty, steel beams could not be imported profitably. The price of rails has fallen, but in the rail-making industry a combination still exists. It has been shown, however, that if the domestic price were determined by eoinpetion it would not pay to import rails even on a free trade basis. We pointed out recently that the prices on wire rods and of wire are loss in this country than the prices for which imported wire rods and wire could be sold here to-day if there were no tariff duties-whatever on these products. Other evidence of. the same kind might be presented. We have shown heretofore from time to time the marked and steady decline in the prices of raw materials and partly finished products in the iron and steel industry here—iron ore, pig iron, steel billets, etc. At the very base of the scale is iron ore, and ore of the Bessemer grade has for some months been sold at $2.75 per ton, as against $8 four years ago. It is admits ted that the cost of producing pig iron is to-day lower in some parts of this country than in any other part of the world. The reduction of the cost of Bessemer iron ore in the west is due to the discovery of the wonderful deposits in the Mesaba district. It is true that in many branches of the iron and steel industry, and in branches where the present tariff is „equivalent to from 70 to lOOper cent., there is now no need of protection, for the prices of the domestic products are lower than the priees of the foreign products would be if those products should be imported free of duty. The McKinley duties upon the products in question yield no revenue, for obvious reasons, and serve merely to invite the 'formation of combinations to suppress

| competition in the home market. And ! if the pending’ senate tariff bill should become a law the samdhssertion could justly be made as to manyof the in ties in it.—N. Y. Times. DANGEROUS PROTECTION. It Corrupt* Legislation and Refuses to Be Abolished. Nothing better illustrates one of the inherent evils and dangers of protection than the late situation in congress. We refer to the objection against protection duties urged so strongly by Congressman Tom L. Johnson, via.: the difficulty of abolishing them. Mr. Johnson’s main reason for preferring an income to a tariff tax is that an income tax can be abolished without opposition from wealthy individuals and corporations, while the mere suggestion that tariff taxes ought to be reformed downwards arouses the powerful opposition of thousands of million-! aire corporations that fatten on protection. We have not. since the adoption ^f protection in 1361, had a fair and open discussion of the tariff question, either in congress or on the stump. The beneficiary of protection is always on hand with his Subtle power” as Senator Caffery calls it. Jie frightens or discharges his employes who are inclined towards free trade. He refuses to advertise with the free trade editor or he purchases a controlling interest and changes the policy of the paper. He employs speakers to tell the people that protection is entirely for the good of his dear employes. If he loses at the polls he carries his case to congress where, by bribery and corruption, he usually gets the decision reversed. Several times since 1366 the republicans have tried to reduce duties. In every case they have been unable to keep their promise with the people because of the corrupt influence of greedy protection corporations. They have succeeded only in reducing revenue duties that they might advance protective duties. Grant, Gartfleld, Arthur and Sherman all believed in free raw materials and in revenue duties. They were unable to resist the pressure of protected interests which had given large campaign contributions and which employed hundreds of lobbyists at Washington with large corruption funds. At last, unable longer to control, frighten or buy, voters they were brought face to face with a congress elected to reform the tariff on free trade lines. The situation was desperate, but they did not give up hppe. They resolved to save as much McKinleyism as possible from the wreck. They established big corruption offices at Washington and made a study of men and conditions at the capital. They were unable to “swing” the house, but did succeed in frightening its ways and means committee so that it dared not bring forth a radical revenue bill. In the senate they have not only held their control over all republicans, but have made a few friends in democratic ranks. A system which has maintained itself for thirty grears by the suppression of free speech, by purchased votes, and by bribed legislators is not compatible with American freedom. One or the other must go. Which shall it be?

i>. \v. xi. THEY CAN'T CROW. Republicans Have No Cause to Crow Over Demorrats for "Coddliug the Sugar Kellners.” The Chicago Inter Ocean asks if the Times “has noticed any republican coddling' the sugar refiners.” We don’t mind saying to our McKinley contemporary in Chicago, in strict confidence, that we have. The sugar refiners and the sugar trust have never been coddled so tenderly and never again will be coddled so effectively and profitably as they were coddled by the republicans in 1890, in the McKinley tariff, and as they have been under the operation of that tariff since that year. The republican house empowered the trust to collect from consumers a tax of 40 cents on every hundred pounds of refined sugar, and the republican senate, under the guidance of Mr. Aldrich and against the loud protests of some republican journals, enlarged the trust’s taxiiig power by adding 20 cents per hundred. The trust now admits that it has collected this tax of 60 cents, and that the tax yielded in in the first three years of the McKinley tariff a clear profit of “between $30,000,000 and $35,000,000,” a sum far exceeding the entire value of the trust’s property. Will the Inter Ocean say that the trust has not been well coddled by the republican party and a republican senate? The pending Gorman sugar schedule, bad as it is, gives the trust only about three quarters as much as it receives under the McKinley law. Mr. Aldrich, the tariff leader on the republican side in the senate, admits that the trust’s bonus in the Gorman schedule is only 46>£ cents per hundred, as against the McKinley tariff’s 60 cents, and the Rhode Island senator, as tve have shown, is on very good terms with this powerful monopoly. Are not the republicans contending for the preservation of the McKinley tariff ! —N. Y. Times. Sheep Don't Live on Tariff. The part which sheep will play in the future development of the United States is further discussed upon page 937 in a letter from southside Virginia. Large areas of unoccupied land in the southern states may now be acquired at very low prices, and an opportunity exists for herding sheep in that section upon the same plan which is pursued in the west. Under any tariff system, the number of sheep acquired for mutton purposes in the United States must increase with the growth of population. The dimunition of free lands in the west, and the many disappointments which have been suffered by settlers in certain sections beyond ths Mississippi, will inevitably draw attention in the near future to the cheap : agricultural lands in New England i and the southern states.—Wool and Cotton Reporter. —The sugar schedule as it now stands may fairly be considered a sine Quay non.—Boston Herald. ..

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. —Cottage Cheese Pie.—This, is made by beating- together two eggs and twothirds of a cupful of white sugar. When well beaten add a teacupful of cottage cheese seasoned with sweet cream, and half a teacupful of sweet milk. Bake with one crust.—Farm and Home. —Brown Bread Pudding.—One cupful of brown bread crumbs, one pint of milk, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, yolks of three eggs and a little salt. Add, last of all, the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Bake, and serve cold with whipped cream.—Good Housekeeping. * —Dried Apple Filling for Pies.— I Stew dried apples nicely; when done, rub through a colander, evaporate to the proper consistency, add sugar to taste, and use the same as the prune marmalade. Dried peaches may be utilized in the same manner, also fresh green apples. —Good Health. —When the hands lack softness glycerine and oatmeal are sometimes very useful. Rub the hands first with pure glycerine, but if this is irritating dilute it with one-half its bulk of rose water. Dip the hands freely in the oatmeal and put on gloves. This will finally soften the most obdurately hard hands. Our grandmothers used to use bran in very much the same manner. —Lemon Pie.—Beat the yolks of two eggs until light, add one cup of sugar, one and one-fourth tablespoon fuls of cornstarch, the juice and grated rind of one lemon, and one and one-half cups of boiling water and. beat them all together until perfectly smooth. Cook this mixture until it thickens, then turn into a crust and bake. Use the whites of the eggs with two tablespoonfuls of sugar for a meringue.— Farm, Field and Fireside. —Egg Lemonade.—Separate four eggs. Beat the whites and yolks separately until light. Dissolve one cup of sugar into one pint of boiling water, add to it the juice of four good-sized lemons. Now, turn into this say one quart of grated ice, enough to chill it quickly. Stir the yolks of the eggs into the whites, turn them into a pitcher and pour in, at a good height, the lemonade. Pour the mixture froiu one pitcher to another for a moment and serve.—Household News. —Green Peas With Bacon.—Peas should not be shelled until just before cooking. Put them in boiling water with as much bacon as you would cook with the same amount of beans, and boil for twenty or thirty minutes. Long boiling cracks the skins and destroys the color and flavor. Stale or wilted peas may be improved by being shelled *and placed in very cold water for at least one hour before using, and adding a little sugar to the water in which they are boiled.—Housekeeper. —Lemon Ketchup.—This epicurean sauce is a good addition to the cold meats that often grace our tables in summer. Cut half a dozen smooth lemons into slices, remove the seeds and rub with three ounces of salt. Mix a seasoning of one ounce each of cloves, mace and cayenne, and two ounces each of mustard seed, allspice, white pepper and horseradish. Put the slices of lemon in a stone jar, sprinkling the mixed seasoning between; pour over two quarts of white wine vinegar made boiling hot; let all stand for twenty-four hours, and strain and bottle for use.—American Agriculturist. i

KratneM In the Kitchen. Why do not women who do their own housework take more pains with the kitchen where they spend a good part of each day, not only to keep it heat and clean, but to make it attractive as well as other parts of the house? It really has as great possibilities in its way. If a prevailing1 eolor is to be adopted blue is both pleasant and convenient, since all cooking utensils are now made in the blue enameled ware, and blue and white oilcloth is pretty and easily obtained. No kitchen,whoever works in it, should be without a rocking chair for the snatches of rest between times, for rest obtained sitting bolt upright in a straight wooden chair is not worthy the name. And if the wqjnan who isn’t very strong—^ and her name is legion—who does her own housework will have a couch—a wicker one if possible—placed as far as she can get it from the stove and from the sink, with a pillow whose' slip cover is of blue denim or linen, costing not over thirty cents, she will never again get along without this adjunct to her kitchen. And why shouldn’t the kitchen windows have pretty sash curtains, which are. as easily laundered as a calico apron. And why shouldn’t there be a little stand of books and papers that may be caught-up and while the cake is baking or the bread taking on its final coat of crust? Many a woman would find her work easier if the elements of beauty and grace were added to her work-a-day surroundings.—Philadelphia Press. _■ Useful Window Desks. One of the most convenient and altogether satisfactory contrivances quite in the power of a woman to manipulate is a window desk. Take a board about fifteen inches wide and saw it the length of the window sill. Put small iron hinges on it and screw it to the sill, so that it can hang down against the under wall when desirable. Tack a narrow strip of wood under the board, near the front edge. Resting on the floor and wedged under this cleat there is a prop of planed wood, slender and neat looking. You can put a beading around the board, with small brads, and stain it all cherry or some other color. The sill holds pens, pencils and ink stands, and a large blotter laid on the board is a most desirable writing pad. This idea comes from an art student in Paris, who dotes on her window desk. It will be found useful in the nursery as a place for pasting pictures, drawings, etc., and when done with can be swung dou n ard out of the way.—N. Y. Herald.
