Tariff Practically Settled.
The long and bitter struggle over
the tariff question has been practically
settled by the conference committee of
house and senate. The house rates on
gloves and hosiery was agreed upon,
in return for fret; oil, hide% and reduc
ed tariff on coal, print paper and iron
or<\ The hidf and leather schedule
was adjusted to suit the President, who
made a determined stand for free hides.
The conferees' report puts them on the
free list with reductions in duties on
leather, boots and shoes and harness.
While this measure will not be all that
the country wishes for, it will possibly
stand until the country gets a whack
at the insurgents. We do not believe in
lowering the fence one dollar, or one
cent, where American laborers or
American manufactures will be com
pelled to compete with the pauper
European labor. We are surprised, as
well as disgusted when we read the
nonsense iu this week's East Empori
um Independent, when the eratic
editor says,"the whole tariff fabric is
a farce and an imposition on the
American masses." Indeed where would
the American laborer and mechanic be
to-day with all Europe dumping the
wares from its pauper labor? How
many laborers would own their own
homes in America if they were com
pelled to labor for the same wage paid
the downtrodden English or Welsh la
lorer. The only way American labor
ers can compete with paupers, is to
starve their families. No! the day
will never come in this country, we
hope, when we will make way for
foreigners "who can supply us at what
an article i« roally worth." We ought
to aud can make a great many things
in this country cheaper but we Ameri
cans will not, because we have the best
educated, best housed and happiest la
borers, mechanics and farmers in the
world and they will right any wrongs
perpetrated at any time by the law
makers. You and your free trade
gang can goto Europe and enjoy the
life of that down-trodden class that can
not save sufficient money to come to
protection America—made so by the
grandest, most patriotic and ablest
statesmen the world over knew—Pro
tective Tariff Republicans and Demo
crats. We have no patience with tariff
for revenue advocates—they are not
true Americans.
Continue to cuss the American tariff,
Mr. Editor, that made it possible for
thousands upon thousands of young
men in this country to save from their
earnings (the best paid labor in the
world) to obtain an education and to
day fill responsible positions in every
branch of business. It would be a
"black Friday" when we went back to
the dari; days of free trade, soup
houses and perdition.

TWO SCHOOLS
FOR THE BLIND
State Maintains Modem Institutions
at Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
Where Efficient Instruction is
Given.
Pennsylvania is fortunate to have
two magnificent schools for the edu
cation and training of the blind. One
of these schools is situated at Over
brook, Pa., which is a beautiful suburb
six miles from the heart of Philadel
phia. It is accessible by the main lino
of the Pennsylvania railroad and two
electric lines. This school embraces
a space of 29 acres, which is (divided
into beautful flower gardens and
lawns and athletic field. This is the
larger of the two schools and accom
modates two hundred students.
The school in Pittsburg, Sehenley
Park, occupies about six acres iu the
most attractive residential section of
the city.
Both schools are equipped with ex
cellent gyrmsiums and swimming
pools, whic'i afford, splendid advant
ages for physical training aud also re
creation. The athletic fields are fitted
with all sorts of apparatus for out
door sports. The schools are divided
into three departments, literary, musi
cal, and industrial.
The literary department embraces a
curriculum of a ten years course.
Nearly all the subjects taught in the
public schools are taught here. Those
who are able to complete the course,
are graduated and receive a diploma
which is equal to that of any high
school in the state.
The musical department consists of
insruction in vocal and instumental
music. In connection withj the de
partment, tuning is taught to boys,
which affords remunerative employ
ment to those who become efficient
tuners.
In the industrial department the
boys are taught broom making, chair
caning, carpet weaving, and hammock
making. The girls are taught sewing
by hand and machine, crocheting,
knitting, and basket-making and do
mestic science.
These schools open their doors to
any who are blind or who have not
sufficient sight to attend the 'public
schools.
No tuition is necessary if the appli
cant cannot afford to pay it, but they
must own clothing and
their fare to and from school.
The schools are in session from Sep
tember to June. Every pupil must re
turn home during July and August.
Every person that is interested in
the cause of humanity should encour
age the education and training of the
sightless child. An education'fis more
essential to the blind than to the see
ing child, on account of the meagre op
portunities in life.
"Work" should be the watchword
for those interested in the £blind, and
begging should be prohibited, for it is
degrading to the individual who prac
tices it and detrimental to the educa
tion and progress of the class.
The modern idea of philanthropy is
to encourage people to help them
seives, which results in permanent and
practical happiness.
Smiley says,"To help men to help
themselves, is the highest form of pa
triotism and philanthropy."
Books for the blind may be borrowed
from the home Teaching Society and
Free Circulating Library, 1217 Chest
nut street, Philadelphia.
The Matilda Ziegler Magazine issued
monthly, can be secured by writing to
Mr. W. G. Holmes, Manager, 306 West
Fifth-third street, New York jcity.
This magazine is a gift to the blind
from Mrs. Ziegler.
The readers of this article are wel
come to visit these schools whenever
they have an oppportunity.

MAIDS OF HONOR.
Their Position In the Royal Household
of England.
Maids of honor are chosen by the
queen herself from among the daugh
ters of peers, who if not themselves
connected villi the royal household
ere personal iriends of her majesty.
A letter is always sent to the parents
of the young lady requesting that as a
personal favor to the queen she may
be permitted to attend at court. As
the position is undeniable and the sal
ary is £3OO a year, the request is inva
riably accepted, and then the newly
chosen maid receives from the lord
chamberlain the command for her first
"wait."
The first thing brought to the maid
of honor is her badge, which is a min
iature picture of the queen set in bril
liants and suspended to a ribbon. Just
before the dinner hour the maid of
iionor in waiting has to stand in the
corridor outside the queen's private
apartments. She carries a bouquet,
which on entering the dining room
she lnys at the right hand of the
queen's plate.
The maid of honor sits at dinner
next to the gentleman on the queen's
right. This rule is relaxed when royal
guests are present. After dinner, tin
loss otherwise commanded, the maid
of honor retires to her own room,
whence, however, she is frequently
fetched to rend, sing, play the piano or
1 . > a hfi:;d at cards.—Cassel's Satur
day Journal.

One Fastidious Clrc! T!iat Would Steal
Only New 2alls.
The crow seems to be attracted to
golf balls in a way wholly peculiar
from the rest of the bird species. In
parks, where the rook and the crow
abound, one can notice them sitting in
the trees or hopping about the putting
greens in the distance watching the
roll of the ball with a direct or side
long glance expressive of the keenest
interest and curiosity, which is soon
translated into a desire to carry It off
to the roost in the neighboring wood.
The Kew gardens adjoin the mid-
Surrey course, and in the royal pre
serve there used to be a fairly large
colony of crows nesting among the
trees. Of this colony there was one
particular crow that found his great
est amusement in mingling among the
golfers and in disconcerting their play
by indulging Iu repeated predatory
campaigns against their golf balls.
Ills policy was to hover in attend
ance on those players who used now
white balls only. Those 011 which the
paint had been chipped or which had
been used In play for several rounds
by an economical player were always
rejected by this particular bird as be
ing beneath his fastidious attention.—
London Field.
The Normal Attitude Toward Death.
The normal attitude of men toward
death seems to be one of inattention
or evasion. They do not trouble about
it; they do not want to trouble about
it, and they resent its being called to
their notice. On this point the late
Frederick Myers used to tell a story
which I have always thought very Il
luminating. In conversation after din
ner he was pressing on Ills host the
unwelcome question what 110 thought
would happen after death. After
many evasions and much recalcitrancy
the reluctant admission was extorted,
"Of course, If you press me I believe
that we shall all enter into eternal
bliss, but I wish you wouldn't talk
about such disagreeable subjects."
This I believe is typical of the normal
mood of most men. They don't want
to be worried, and though probably, if
the question were pressed, they would
object to the idea of extinction, they
can hardly be said to desire Immortal
ity. Even at the point of death, it
would seem, this attitude is often
maintained.—O. Lowes Dickinson 111

Old Thoughts on April.
Old Nikolas Breton, in those delight
ful "fantastics" (IG2U) of his, grew more
lyrical over April than over any other
month. One reads such a passage as
this with delight: "The Larke and the
Lambe look up at the Sun, and the
labourer Is abroad by the dawning of
the day; Slieepes eyes in Lambs heads
tell kind hearts strange tales, while
faith and troth make the true Lovers
knot; the nged haircs find a fresh life,
and the youthful cheeks are as red as
a cherry. It were a world to set down
the worth of this moneth; but in
summe, I thus conclude, I hold it the
Heavens blessing, and the Earths com
fort."—London Chronicle.
To Live Long.
Yirchow, the German scientist, said
the way to live long Is to "be born
with a good constitution, take care of
it when you are young, always have
something to do and be resigned if
you find you cannot accomplish all you
wish." it is easier to live long with
a poor constitution than to vioi.'" the

Free Advice.
The telephone in the office of a prom
inent New York lawyer rang, and when
a clerk answered it the lady on the
other end refused to give her name,
saying she wanted to s-ce the lawyer
himself on private business. As soon
as the lawyer himself picked tip the
receiver, before he could make any
inquiries, she began, "Oh, please tell
me, must there not bo two copies of
a lease?"
"Why," lie answered, "It Is usual to
give one to the landlord's agent and
one to the lessee. Hut who are"—
"Yet the fact that the wife of th<-
lessee had never seen a copy of the
lease wouldn't keep it from being le
gally binding?"
"No," slipped from the lawyer, who
quickly added, "But before I disctt
the matter further may I ask to
. whom"—
There was a pretty little laugh. He
admits it was pretty even now. "Oh.
I'm Mrs. Brown, and I live on Broad
way. You don't know me"—it was ob
vious likewise that he wouldn't—"but
I've always heard your advice was so
very valuable, and I wanted a lawyer,
and so I just called you up. Goodby."
And when ho asked for the number

The Canary's Toilet.
Just watch your canary after lie has
had his daily bath. See how each sep
arate feather is cleaned, pulled and
looked over and how all the loose ones
are taken out and dropped. All this is
done by the bill, for a bird's neck is so
flexible that it can be turned iu all di
rections, but the bill cannot; reach the
head, and so Mr. Canary uses bis foot.
With it he combs his hair first on one
side, then on the other, scratching very
fast, as if to get all the tangles out.
Then he uses his hair oil, for, although
complexion powders are not known in
the bird world, hair oil certainly is.
Ladles and gentlemen alike carry it
about with them. They have a little
pouch or sack on the back near the
tail for the purpose. When Mme. Bird
wishes to use it she squeezes it out
with her beak, just as you would pres.*
a rubber bulb. Then she lays the oil
on her back just above her wings and
rubs her head against it, turning her
neck in all directions until every feath
er in her head is straight and shining.

Red Cheeks In Addison's Day.

The Yaws.
On the west (oast of Africa the na
tives call the raspberry a yaw. It bap
pens that one of the pleasing diseases
that come out from that quarter of
the globe is characterized by dusky
red spots that api>ear on the body and
soon grow into ulcers about the size
and looks of the raspberry. So this
disease is called the yaws. It is con
tagious and downright disagreeable
White sailors bring it back with them
to their own discomfort and the dis
gust of those at home. Yaws prevails
also in the Fiji islands and in Samoa,
but in these two places children main
ly are attacked, and the natives re
gard the disease in the same light as
civilized persons look at measles—al
most a certainty to have and the soon
er over with the better.

FORTY PLAYGROUNDS BY THE SEA,
This is seashore time.
The dog days call to the worker in home, office,
and mill and the answer brings up thoughts of the many
resorts beside the sea where comfort, recreation, and pleas
ure alike await the coming of the holiday-maker.
Along the shores of New Jersey from Cape May to
Sandy Hook lie forty beaches, each offering delights for
outings long or short and each easily accessible by the
splendid train service of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Atlantic City, with its myriad attractions for young
and old, needs 110 introduction, for its charms are known
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Cape May, for a century the summering place of satis
fied thousands of seekers after cool breezes, fine bathing,
and the fine amusement of the seaside, is more attractive
than ever in its new lite.
Ocean City, Wildwood, Sea Isle City, with their
smaller neighbors, Anglesea, Holly Beach, Wildwood
Crest, Avalon, and Stone Harbor, afford summer pleasure
to thousands.
To the north lie Beach Haven, Seaside Park, Island
Heights and the other resorts about Barnegat Bay, where
the lover of fishing and sailing finds the choicest sport.
Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Spring Lake, Long
Branch, Sea Girt, Point Pleasant, Allenhurst, Elberou,
and Belmar 011 the Upper Coast where the country meets
the sea right 011 the beach, appeal with mighty force to
the vacationist.
Fifteen-day excursions to Atlantic City, Cape May,
Wildwood, Ocean City, and Sea Isle City, at specially low
rates leave 011 August 6 and 24, and September 3.
Any Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agent will be glad
to give full information regarding excursion rates, time of
trains and arrange your outing whether it be for a day, a
a week, a fortnight, or the whole summer.
