FREELAND, DECEMBER 29, 1892. May Ruin "Uu.tne.H Interests." The high-tariff organs of Pennsylvania and of other parts of the country, but especially those of Pennsylvania, says the New York World, are very much con cerned lest the Democratic party when in possession of the government, as it soon will be, may ruin "business inter ests." They profess great fear that President Cleveland will be unable to control con-1 grew. Just now they are fond of quot ing certain selections from Mr. Cleve land's public utterances which afford them a degree of comfort. But they are dreadfully afraid of congress. Let them possess their souls in peace. Mr. Cleveland when president will have the veto power, and they ought to know that he is not afraid to use it. He will not be apt to consent to anything which he considers destructive of the real bus iness interests of the country. But his view of "business interests" does not include in that term the privilege of fleecing the people under the protection of law which is so dear to Pennsyl vanians. That sort of thing will bo stopped. Grover Cleveland cannot be cajoled to tolerate it, nor can the new congress. It will be stoped as soon as possible. The duty of stopping it will not be post poned in order that the robbers may continue robbing. We recommend to our high-tariff friends a rereading of President Cleve land's message on the tariff. Let them reflect as they read that he has been re elected and a Democratic congress has been chosen because the people want the doctrine of that message put into law. This will be done, and done within a year. Wages In Germany. The report of the United States Consul Warner, at Cologne, Germany, recently receieved at the department of state, contains some interesting statistics on the wages paid in variouß trades in that country last year. The telegraphed summary says: The statistics collected embrace replies from 9<Xi cities and 924 unions. The figures show that the wages have in creased in only seven cities, in 229 they have declincdj and in 070 they have remained stationary, while food pro ducts have been dearer. Only 211 cities of the who'c number visited snowed full employment, while in thirty places almost complete stoppage of work ex isted. In Germany the head of the household alone cannot earn sufficient to support hiß family. This is the condition of affairs in a European country having a high pro tective tariff, copied from that of the United States by the great Bismark, who thought to reproduce in that old, thickly populated, army-ridden, mo narchical country the prosperity enjoyed In this newer and freer land, with its boundless opportunities and wonderful natural resources. When protectionists talked of "pau per wages" and hard conditions of life abroad, during the late canvass, they fought shy of protected Germany, and quoted free-trade England, where the wages are higher than anywhere else in Europe. The Poliion In the Can. There is hardly a question that the in spection of food products authorized by the state for the conservation of the public health should be so extended as to include what are commercially known SB "canned goods." Many cases of poisoning are known to have resulted from the consumption of meats, fruits and vegetables put up in tin cans. In large part, at first, the poison was at tributed to the action of food acids upon the lead used in the manufacture of an inferior quality of tin. As a result there has been greater care on the part of canning factories to obtain tinplate of proper qualityjbut thesolder necessarily used always contains lead, ami the danger of lead poisoning, though modifi ed, still remains. More careful investigation of the causes of sickness from eating tinned foods has led to the conviction that lead poisoning is not the only nor the chief factor in bringing sickness about. Ptomaines exist in all meats and fish) useful and harmless dnring life, after death they excrete an alkaloid poison. This process Is the beginning of unfinished putre faction, and cannot be detected by taste or smell; but this alkaloid poison is doubtless the frequent cause or sickness and deth.—Burnt. NEW YEAR MASQUERADES. j Like Many Other Customs They Are Re minders of Paganism. The custom of masquerading at New Year dates back to pagan times, long be fore the commencement of the Christian era. The practice embraced two princi plea, homage and Indulgence, and also in cluded the making of friendly calls and the presentation of gifts, and in snif e of all opposition this form of celebrating New Year has, with some modification, con tinned to the present day. In the Fifth century the church began an energetic crusade against this "pagan prnc tice." St. Maximus, of Turin, raised his voice against "thesuperstitious folly of the Ist of January, when Christians put on habits of intemperance and seek to fore stall their friends with early calls in the morning, bringing them petty presents as New Year gifts, in the hope of receiving something in return more valuable." St. Peter Chrysolosus, bishop of Ravenna, also denounced the custom, and to the excuse offered that it was only sport, not sacri legious, replied: "No one can with safety play with the serpent. Who can amuse him self with Impiety or joke with sacrilege? Men dress themselves up like women, and they put on their robes. They transform themselves into beasts and monsters. A man employs in this disguise all his am hi tion, as if he were sorry he were a man." In the year 566, during the reign of King Carihert, of Paris, the council of Tours recommended the abolition of all pagan superstitions in the land, and among the practices so denounced was "that of men disguising themselves as deer and other animals, and running about the country in various grotesques and committing all sorts of follies." But in spite of all the anathemas hurled agaiust the custom the Christians could not be turned away from the ancient extravagances that marked the calends of January Philadelphia Times. GOOD RESOLUTIONS. A New Tea Resolve to Do Better Is a Step In the Right Direction. It is true very possibly, that only one in a million of these resolutions ever amounts to anything permanently. A month, a week, a day, may see the end of them, and the old sin or delinquency or habit may be in the ascendant again, sometimes, alas re-enforced and stronger than before, strong almost to the point of Indifference as to its destruction on the part of him "breaking his oatb and resolution like a twist of rotten silk." What is the use? The question rises in the mind of the owner of the broken resa lution; it can't be helped; the breaker was made to break; it runs in the blood; he was given the nature that experiences tempta tion; he was not given the strength to over come temptation; you cannot change the spots in the leopard; that is he; if you want to change him, you want something other than he, you don't want him, ances try is stronger than a desire to do other wise; It's of no use. And thns the trick, the custom, the wholly undesirable bubit Is left to run its race. Yet that Is but one possibility, and when this stage of indifference has not been reached how well it is only to have made the resolution, whether one is sue ceasful in keeping it or notl Just as hypocrisy is the tribute which vice pays to virtue, so the mere making of the resolu tion implies the knowledge of wrong, and of & right exceeding wrong, and to make a determination to discard the wrong is already one step toward embracing the right—is, in fact, embracing It—ls, while being the resolve, also the carrying out of the resolve, however little way. The re solve is the outcome of the best part of one's nature; the not keeping ft is one's weakness only.—Harper's Bazar. New Tear Superstitions. The following superstitions in connection with New Year are still firmly believed in various parts of Eugland, Ireland, Scotland and Wales: On New Year's morning go to a well or fountuin and leave an apple and a nosegay and the water will keep fresh and be more wholesome all the year. It is bad luck to lend money on New Year's day. Don't pay money out on New Year's day Put money away on New Year's day. And all the year you will have money to pay Before locking the door for the ftight on New Year's eve place a gold coin near it, and let it remain there until the church bells ring the next morning, and you will have plenty of money all that year. If you wash clothes on N-ew Year's day one of the family will be washed out of ' existence before the year is out. It Is unlucky to have a woman to be your first visitor on New Year's day. If a dark complexioued man crosses your threshold first on New Year's day, you will be prosperous; if a blond, unlucky, and if a redheaded man, dire disaster will surely follow. So strong la the belief in this last adage in some places that dark complexioued men are paid a small gratuity to call early and walk through the first floor of the house, entering by the hack door and leav ing by the front.-Kxchange. An Ancient Custom. It seems that In the olden time it was customary to give gloves as presents on New Year's day. As they were very ex pensive, quite often a sum of money, called glove money, was given instead. Some times parents and oilicial persons were presented with gloves by those who wished to conciliate or find favor with them There is an anecdote about Sir Thomas Moore, who, having decided a case favor ably for a lady client, received from her on New Year's day a pair of gloves containing forty gold coins called angels. He could not refuse the gloves, but sent back the coins with this note: "Mistress— Since it were against good manners to refuse your New Year's gift, I am content to take your gloves, but as for the lining 1 utterly re fuse It."—Philadelphia Record.

Don'l think that the editor loses any sleep if you stop your paper. Don't forget to send the amout due when you order your paper discon tinued. Don't forget to send the old as well as your new address when you change you paper. Don't keep the paper waiting a year or longer for your subscription, but pay promptly. Don't get angry when you receives bill, but go to the nearest postoflice and remit the amount to us. Don't forget that it is as a great sin to defraud a paper out of its just dues as it is to cheat the butcher or the baker. Don't let it escape your memory that the new postal makes it a larceny to take a paper and refuse to pay for it. Don't call at this office, and tell us how to run the paper, saying, "Why don't you put in this?" or "Why don't you leave out that?" It is better to start a paper of your own. Don't think that because you are good for the amount that we ought not to be in a hurry to get it; but remember that as long as it is in your pocket it does us no good. Don't forget that those who defraud a paper out of what is due will have to settle the bill in the next world, and perhaps in a place where no paper can he published on account of the calorific state of the atmosphere. Don't get excited and stop your papo if you see something in it that does not agree with your ideas, but remember that there is a chance, and a big one too, of you being in the wrong, and the ar ticle may call forth words of praise from nine-tenths of the subscribers.

The calendar for '93 is of the same general design as that of previous years, consisting of 366 leaves, one for every day in the year, and a calendar for the entire year. The day of the week, of the month, and of the year are given, and on each leaf is a short sermon on the "Gospel of Outdoors, Health, and Happiness," with valuable hints on prac tical road making. The leaves are so arranged that there will he no stub left, and each one can be referred to at any time during the year. The pad is upon a metalic stand of ivory black, arranged so as to rest upon the desk at a con venient angle. The pad matter, which in the aggregate is enough to make a hook, is all fresh and new, and is of more pertinent value than that of any 1 previous calendar. The calendar is issued by the Pope Mfg. Co., of Boston, j New York, and Chicago.

UNION HALL, HAZLETON, A PROFESSIONAL "WEEPER." A Young Scamp Who Finds Hegglng More Profitable Than Working* "Jack the Weeper* is well known about the lower part of the town. He has been exploited in the newspapers in connection with arrest and incarcera tion, has been interviewed and had his picture taken, and on various occcasions has sworn off from professional weep ing. "Jack the Weeper" is a diminu tive looking specimen of a seven-year old boy with a twenty-year-old face and a stock of experience and cunning rarely accumulated by mankind this side of fifty. He is ostensibly a newsboy, but the fraternity hold him in great con tempt or know him only to thump him. His "racket" has been to get a bundle of papers together late in the evening and weep at the foot of the elevated stairs down town. Sympathetic people cast him pennies and nickels and dimes, and sometimes an occasional quarter or half dollar found an abiding place in the weeper's inside pocket—all on the supposition that he was an honest lad who had been "stuck." Thus the weeper found that tears could be coined into cijfh more easily and profitably than by the ordi nary course of the news trade. But just as Jack had worked up a fairly regular trade in came a policeman, a cold and calculating man of the world, with a club, and broko lip business by arrest, examination and consequent publicity. At the foot of a down town stairway of a Sixth avenue elevated station in the most fashionable part of New York re cently occurred a scene which demon strated that "Jack the not only not gone out of business, but had vastly improved upon former methods. It was about the fashionable shopping hour and the swell women and dilettante young men were flocking to the down town trains. A delicate lad, with a con sumptive cough and a bundle of castolf morning newspapers, stood shivering at the foot of the stairs, two great big homemade tears plowing their way through the dirt on his cheeks as the muddy waters of the Missouri seek the sea. Several of us stopped out of sym pathy and began to question the boy. At the same time nearly every hand in the crowd instinctively sought for change. An exceedingly sharp eyed lady impulsively pulled out a hill and pushed it into his trembling fingers, accompany ing the act with an appealing look around upon the rest of us. It worked. Everybody in sight gave silver, and an old lady who came in later 011 the scene pressed a two dollar note upon the child. I missed two trains to note the goodly sight, and I felt proud of my fellow creatures and the beautiful sympathy of my kind. The boy never said a word. He merely coughed and wept and scooped in the coin. In the excitement of the moment I forgot an errand I had at the next station and went past it. Then I got out, went up the other side and rode back. There was a little mob gathered on the down tow n side at the foot of the stairs. So nearly like the other mob was it that at first 1 thought I had made another mistake and gone back to my starting point. But no; it was the next I station. Well, "shiver my timbers!" as the old salt says, if there wasn't the same boy with the same graveyard cough, the same weep, the same old papers, and, what was more astonishing, here was the some sharp eyed, benevolent lady in the midst of a group of sympathetic women, just starting a liberal subscription. My first impulse was to jump in and grab her and yell for the police, but 1 conquered it und walked away, wonder ing how much money there was in this new snap of the woman and the weeper. —New York Herald.
