GOOD ADVICE.
Every patriotic citizen should give his
personal effort and influence to increase
the circulation of his home paper which
teaches the American policy of Protec
tion. It Is his duty to aid in this respect
in evury way possible. After the home
paper is taken care of, why not sub
scribo for the Ameeican Economist,
published by the American Protective
Tariff League? On of its correspon
dents says i "No true American can
get along without It I consider it the
greatest and truest political teacher in
the United States."

Saved Her Life.
Mrs. C. J. Woor.nitiDOB, of Wortham,
Texas, saved the life of hnr child by the
use of Ayer's Cherry I'ectoral. o
"One of my children had Croup. The
case was attended nv our physician, and was
supposed to he well under control. One
night I was startled liv the child's hard
breadline, and on going to it found it stran
gling. It had nearly ceased to breathe.
Realizing that the child's alarming condition
had become possible in spile of the medicines
given, I reasoned that such remedies would
be of no avail. Having part of a bottle ot
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral In the house, I gave
the child three doses, at short intervals, and
anxiously waited results. From the moment
the Pectoral was given, the child's breathing
grew easier, and. in a short time, she was
sleeping ciiiielly and breathing naturally.
The child is alive and well t-day, and I do
not hesitate to say that Ayer' Cherry ree
toral saved her life."

"Yes. one. nnil only one. It was

And so it has been ever since that a
womsn has nothing to tic to' to make
her elitfioli: to masonry."
This was the reply ot ltobert alton,
of Kugby, 'ienn., who is a member
of Alhan'ibra, Temple in Chattanooga,
says the Cincinnati Star.
"This woman, then, was a member
of the first lodtfe?"
"She was. She was the grand junior
warden and pillar of beauty. With the
worshipful master she resided in a
beatiful garden, that has come down
in history as the most beautiful spot
in which human beings ever lived and
loved. With the worshipful master
she was warmly interested in building
up an ideal lodge of Free Masonry,
liut in an evil hour one appeared at
the outer wicket. He was a fallen ma
son. One who had fallen into the
uttermost depth, and was forever dis
graced, liut he was most cunning of
speech, and he prevailed upon the
beautiful grand junior warden and
pillar of beauty to let him in. She did
so. The world knows the rest of the
story. The first woman had broken
her vow, and let in one who of all
creatures was the last to expect recog
nition and favors because of his fallen
estate. And so the first lodge was cor
rupted because of a woman, and woman
has never since been received as a
member in masonry. The first lodge
was thus broken up, and the worship
ful master and the fair grand junior
warden and pillar of beauty were ex
pelled from their beautiful paradise,
lint thouu-h woman has never been ad
mitted since, she has redeemed herself
as a helpmeet to masons of all times
and decrees, and has come to be recog
nized as his peer in all the virtues and
activities of life, and men worship at
her shrine of purity and beauty. Ood
bless woman, and, though we cannot
have her in our lodges, what would we
do without her?"

RAILROADS IN THE TROPICS.
It In llnl to Keep the Growing Foliage
from BeeomliiB an Obstruction.
Apropos of the projected Pan-American
railway, it is to be noted that not
only is the first cost of railway con
struction in tropical countries very
heavy, but the annual maintenance of
way is expensive to a degree which
cannot be appreciated by those who
have no experience in this connection.
The Antioquia railroad in Colombia,
says Charles P. Yeatman in the Engi
neerinK' Magazine, cost in a singie
year, for repairs of track and bridges,
J$'J,atiB per mile. The Cauca railroad,
in the same year, cost J8.837 per mile.
These two roads are in Colombia and
are sometimes mentioned either as
future feeders of the Pan-American
rn.ilrnn.il. or narts of its mam line. On
the Antioquia road, if the undergrowth
were cut at the beginning of the rainy
season, less than two months' rain was
sufficient to form anarch of green trees
thirty feet high leaning over the track
so as to shade it completely.
The constant change f rom dryness in
the day to soaking moisture at night,
even in the dry season, would soon
ruin the best of timber, but nature fur
nishes a still quicker means of getting
rid of it, in the shape of an ant or
wood-louse, which is careful not to mar
the outside of his domicile, but will
natientlv honeycomb the inside, until
what looks like a solid 12x12 stick is
but a shell from to X inch thick,
tilled with dust and ants. The native
timber suffered so much from the in
roads of these pests that, upon hear
ing that yellow pine was used in Pan
ama to avoid them, a trial of it was
made on the Antioquia road. Georgia
pine had to be shipped by way of New
York, at a cost of nearly $100 per 1,000
feet, board measure, when put in place.
When I left there the first of my yel
low pine trestle was being replaced. It
bad been built less than four years.
GREEK WOMEN GROW FAT.
Too Much Uidoor Eil.tpnce and Generally
Sedentary Life Beponslble.
An English or an American visiting
Greece for the first time is struck,
sooner or later, by a certain dullness
in the street life of its towns, which it
may take him some little time to define
and trace to its real cause. At length,
and suddenly, the fact comes home to
him that there are few, if any, women
visible among the foot passengers. No
wonder, he reflects, that the streets
should appear dull to him, shorn as
they are of all the variety that woman's
presence and dress ever lends to the
thoroughfares of countries lanner
west. In tlreece, according to the Pall
Mall Budget, it isonly toward evening.
and then for but a briet period, mar,
the fair sex take an outing, unless the
pressure of some urgent business
should compel them to flit rapidly
through the throng of men who at
other times monopolize the streets.
Nor will a foreigner meet with them
serving in the shops, the restaur
ants or the cafes; they will still
be conspicuous by their absence. In
fact, unless he visit them in the priva
cy of their homes he will scarcely do
more than catch an occasional glimpse
of them at the upper windows of some
private dwelling-house or shop, where,
when the weather in seasonable, they
will sit reading and sewing, and cran
ing their necks out to watch the passers-by
below. The effects of this seden
tary life, so antagonistic to our Eng
lish faith in open air and exercise, are
very marked on the lair forms of the
Grecian women.
An embonpoint, but not to designate
it by the more vulgar term, corpulence,
is the most apparent result of this in
door existence; but this tendency to
gross flesh is an attraction to the mod
ern Greek, who, like the Turk, finds in
superfluous fat an additional beauty.
To everv country its standard of fe
male loveliness. For Greece the typical
woman may be roughly sketched thus:
She is short, broad and stout, of a pale,
creamy complexion, with dark hair,
beautiful eyes and features fairly reg
ular, but not classical. The prevailing
impression that she leaves upon the
Englishman is that she has (whisper
the words) a squat figure.
liut to quit the towns, where it will
be seen that women play but a small
part in public life, and to turn to the
rural districts of Greece. Here woman
takes a more active part in everyday
life. She it is who draws the water,
brings in the wood thut.the men have
felled in thu forest, or who pluckily
earns her wages as a day laborer in
the maize or com field. In the burn
ing summer, in the icy winter, she is
ever to the tore, working, working, with
her veil hanging loosely over her head,
ready to be folded across her mouth
should a strange man approach. It is
matter for thought how widespread
even now among the country districts
is this old custom of veiling the lower
part of the face at the approach of an
unknown member of the opposite sex.
It is one. sign among many that it is
not so very long since the Turks were
masters of tins "purple lunci, wuere
law secures not life.'
GAMINS IN ROME,
Their Tae?ie In extracting Coins from
Foreigners.
A correspondent of the New York
Tribune savs that the street boys of
Ptome hsve' all the curiosity, shrewd
ness and impudence of street boys in
"eneral, together with some traits pe
culiar to themselves. They have a
sharp eye for foreigners, and have de
veloped no little skill in extracting
coins from them. The Tribune's letter
writer says: I got into a dispute with a
cabman because lie demanded a tip in
ndilit ion to his regular fare. While we
were talking a little fellow of six or
seven ven rs stepped up and said, in a
nat.ernal. nssuriiuf tone:
sivt.v centimes is enough, sir. The
rascal is very impudent. Don't give
him any more."
In the same breath he asked me for a
soldo for the service rendered. I
handed him a. coin, laughing at his
grand airs, and he received it with a
condescending gesture. Then, as the
driver reached for his whip, the boy
made off. saying: "I'll see you later."
1 walked on, ami presently another
urchin was at my side.
'Yes, signer, you are quite right; this
i the mad to the Vatican. Give me a
soldo."
I drove him oil, but in a few minutes
another came bounding up.
"lv lord! my lord! you are losing
your handkerchief."
That was another soldo.
Next a bootblack, hardly more than
five years old, caught sight of the for
eigner. "Your boots, sir! your boots!" he
f tried to ignore him. He appealed $5 WEEK. eVnlr, Ii.'
to my self-respect.
"liut. my lord, such boots!" he ex
it, as he trotted along at my side.

PUNISHMENTS FOR CRIME.
Ok the 1 .400 prisoners in the Illinois
slate prison at Juliet, one-third are
reported to be snlYering from consump
tion. Tun Salic law had in all Sl-'t penal
articles: loll relating to robbery, 74 of
which referred to the stealing of ani
mals; I HI relating to crimes against the
person.
Tut: nick, thumbscrew and other
modes of torture were used by Kuro
peim courts until 1M0, not only as a
punishment, but also as a means of ob
taining evidence.
Somk tribes of North American In

them by their hands to the limbs of a

HUMMING TELEGRAPH WIRES.
The Noise Not Uue to the Wind But to
Atmospheric Conditions.
You have all heard the humming and
singing of telegraph and telephone
wires as you passed the poles along the
streets. No doubt you have concluded
that this is caused by the action of
wind on the wires and given it no fur
ther thought, liut it is not true, says
the Huston Journal of Commerce, that
the singing is caused by the wind, and
if you are at all observing you will no
tice that often the humming sound is
to be heard on cold winter mornings
when the smoke from chimneys goes
straight up until it is lost in the clouds
and when the f ftist on the wires is as
fuzzy and thick as a roll of chenille
fringe.
The wind has nothing to do with the
sound, ami, according to an Austrian
scientist, the vibrations are due to the
changes of atmospheric temperature,
and especially through the action of
cold, as a lowering of temperature in
duces a shortening of the wiresextend
ing over the whole of the conductor. A
considerable amount or irieiiou is pro
duced on the supporting bells, thus in
ducing sounds both in the wires and
the poles.
When this humming has been going
on birds have mistaken the sound for
insects inside the poles and have been
seen to peck with their bills on the out
side as they do upon the apple and
other trees. The story is told of a bear
that mistook the humming noise as
coming from a nest of bees and clawed
at the pole and tore away the stones at
its base in the hope of finding the
much-coveted honey.
MOORISH WOMEN.
Something Concerning the Veiled Beauties
of Northern Africa.
There is something continually in
teresting in the muffled figures of
Moorish women, says a writer in
Harper's Weekly. They make you
almost ashamed of the uncovered faces
of the American women in the town;
and, in the lack of any evidence to the
contrary, you begin to believe every
Moorish woman or girl you meet is as
beautiful as her eyes would make it
appear that she is. Those of the Moor
ish girls whose faces I saw were dis
tinctly handsome; they were the wom
en Benjamin Constant paints in his
nicturcs of Algiers, and about whom
Pierre Lotti goes into ecstasies in his
honk on Tantrier. Their robe or
cloak, or whatever the thing is that
they affect, covers the head like a
hood, and with one hand they hold
one of its folds in front of the face as
high as their eyes. The only times
that I ever saw the face of any of them
was when I occasionally eluded Ma
hamed and ran oil with a little guide
called Isaac, the especial protector oi
two American women, who farmed
him out to me when they preferred to
remain in the hotel. lie is a particu
larly beautiful youth, and I noticed
that whenever he was with me the
cloaks of the women had a fashion of
coming undone, and they would lower
them for an instant and look at isaac,
and then replace them severely upon the
bridge of the nose. Then Isaac would
turn toward me with a shy conscious

A Dent Mute Club.
r Paris has a number of very pcvuliar
clubs at the present time, more per
haps than any other city. Its deaf
mute club has been frequently sHiken
of by tourists. It is exactly what it
professes to be, un association of deaf
and dumb men. all of them compara
tively wealthy. It is usual for a man
thus attHeted and who is in a position
to retain a stutV of domestics, to retain
these as interpreters, but in this club
there is no pandering to modern ideas,
and no servant is eivTa.red unless he or
she has lost the power to either speak
or hear. As a result the establishment
is as silent as the tomb and is an ex
ceedingly unpleasant place for an or
dinary human being to wander into.
To get over the apparent dilHculty of
communication between different parts
of the house, a series of electric ap
paratus is used to call domestics, but
instead of the usual bell there is an ar
rangement whereby the party called
gem a slight shock.
Chance to Get
Watch Him.
"The best way to test a man's faith i
in socialism," said a traveler to a rep
resentative of the St. Louis Globe
Domoerat, "is to watch what he does
when he accumulates or is presented
with a little property. I have a trusted
employe who is a tirst-elass man in
every respect, except for his determina
tion to talk and argue a little too
much. For years he has been an ex
treme socialist ami has been arguing
about the crime of wealth. Not very
long ago he refused to continue the
discussions and seemed very anxious
to forget all he had ever said in favor
of an equitable division of all the
good things in the world among all the
people living in it. I laughed at him a
gool deal, but without success, and
finally ascertained the cause.
"lie had for years been buying the
house he lived in by small install
ments, and not being a very good ac
countant had lost track of the flight of
time, and was very much surprised oue
fine morning to find that he owned his
house free from incumbrance. The
ground had Increased in value about
two hundred per cent while he was
navimr for it, and he is now worth
ihree thousand or four thousand dol
lars. "I forgot how much he had been ar
guing was the maximum amount each
American should be allowed to own,
but it was a very small percentage of
his present earthly possessions, and
hence his abandonment of the desire
for dividing up. The building associa
tions scattered over the country in so
many thousands are the best anti
socialist advocates that ean well be
imagined."
T-ris said that the Edison Klectric
Light company of Philadelphia pro
