TARIFF WAR 'PTE C.A,NA..l .11.
Evidently the question of re-
ciprocity with Canada must soon
be decided definitely one way or
the other. For years the pres-
sure iu this country for better
trade relations with Canada has
been growing stronger, and until
lately the only opposition came
from individual,, who were grind-
ing their axes at public expense,
and didn't care to lose the private
snap they had in the tariff. The
McKinley bill, however, proposes
in the alleged interest of American
farmers to heavily in.:rease the
duties on certain articles imported
from Canada and still further bur-
den and cripple trade with
that country. Already the Can-
adian Government is taking into
consideration certain measures of
r•etaliatioo, and consideeing how,
if the United States excludes the
brewers' barley and hops, Cana-
dian eggs, ete., the Government
of Canada can hit back and is turn
shut out pork, beef, corn, etc.,
which the Canadians arc baying
from the United States in steadily
increasing quantities. Thus the
issue is being raised between 3om-
mor•cial union and a war of tariffs.
The one can be only an injury and
the other a benefit to both coun-
tries. There is no more reason
why tariff walls should be kept
up along the Canadian border
than wny Illinois should be shut
out from the advantages of free
commerce with New York and
Louisiana. The idea that higher
duties on Canadian products will
be a benefit to farmers • or• ma❑u -
facturers in the United States is
absurd. It takes two to make a
bargain that is perfected for the
sale of Canadian produce in the
United States, or vice versa, and
in neither case can a blow be
struck at the producer in one
country without hitting also the
consumer in the other. The line
between the two countries for
most of the distance is imaginary
only. They are not divided by
oceans, ranges of mountains, or
distinctions of races, but are
neighbors in every sense, and
should be on neighborly terms.
Tinder such circumstances the
Chinese principle of non -inter-
course is not applicable.—Chicago
Tribune.
If we follow Christ, we must
shake off the baser objects of
earthly desire as nothing better
than the dust which gathers upon
the Gere -clothes of mortality. so
Christ taught us and so he lived.

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
A temperance refreshment bar
has been opened at the main en-
trance to the Police Court build-
ing, Liverpool, for the conveni-
ence of persons attending the
court. it is already a pronounced
success.
The resources of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union's
coffee house at Bloomington, Ill.,
are illustrated by the fact that it
:has undertaken the contract to
provide for 200 gusets a day during
the prohibition convention soon to
be held there.
About 430 soldiers, inmates of
the Soldiers' Home and prisoners
in the Military Prison at Leaven-
worth, Kan, have signed . the
pledge of the Woman's Christian
Temperance union as a result of
the work of the State superin-
tendent of work among soldiers.
Canon Wilberforce has recently
returned to England from a tour
of some months' duration in India,
the object of which was to study
the drink and opium questions.
A meeting ot welcome is to be
Feld at Southampton, at which
Sir Wilfred Lawson, Bart., M.P.,
and W. S. Caine, I.P., will be the
chief speakers.
The progressive young wemeu
of New Zealand have a Young
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, two years old, that has al-
ready made a success of several
lines of work. They do hospital
visiting and flower mission work,
conduct singing, sewing and cook-
ing classes, organize juvenile tem-
perance societies, and interest
themselves in bringing up to a
higher standard the general fife
surrounding them. They have a
national banner bearing the in-
scription : Our daughters shall
be as corner stones, polished afterC
the similitude of a palace,'to which
is added a spray of New Zealand
mistletoe—the society emblem --
meaning purity, modesty,strergth
and tenacity.
MEN BUYING BONNETS.
The Chicago Tribune says: A
Wabash avenue saleswoman in a
millinery store: I have been
brought i.p in this business, and I
never before knew of so many
men buying hats and bonnets for
women as there is this season. I
call remember when a man would
have no more thought of coming'
into a place like this except as a
looker-on, than a woman would
think of going into a saloon. But
for the last few seasons men have
taken it into their head to do much
of the buying for their wives,
sisters or sweethearts. And I
must say I like the change. The
average man can pick out a be-
coming hat or bonnet for a woman
and not look over one-third of the
store. As a general thing, a
man knows better than a woman
what is beat suited for her. Very
few hats or bonnets selected by
men are ever returned. One of
the most prominent lawyers in
Obicigo used to be a judge—
drove up in his carriage the other
••-day and brought in his wife's old
bonnet, and gave iilsirttction as to
h9w it should be trimmed. And
I must say he had excellent taste.
I was over to Paris a few weeks
ago, and I found men doing a
good deal of shopping in this line
of goods.
CATARRH,
A LAVA WHIRLPOOL.
A party who have been explor-
ing the crater or lava beds about
twenty miles southwest of Albu-
querque have returned, and vouch
for the truthfulness of a story re-
lated by J. A. Beaton and R. W.
Loudon.
These two gentleman stated that
on their way to the Malpass they
met a Mexican wbo volunteered
for a few dollars to go and show
then? what he knew about the
crater. As a general thing the
Mexicans are superstitious and
shun the vicinity of the lava beds,
bat this man agreed to go. He
piloted the Albuquerqueans to a
cave on the highest point,through
cracks in the Noor of which a
warm vapor ascended. Viewing
the surroundings for a few seconds
the men were startled by a low,
rumbling sound, like distant
thunder, and the lava beneath
their feet trembled.
The Mexican fled immediately
to the open air,but before the gen
tlemen could realize it a portion of
the bottom of the cave fell, and
they with it,into intense darkness.
Neither were injured, but the
ground upon which they fell
seemed to sway to and fro. Fort-
unately one of the party had a
candle and some matches, and
atter innumerable attempts to
light it the candle was made to
burn.
When light was obtained a lake
of water, black as pitch, lay at
their feet,while the opposite shore
appeared to be moving from right
to left. It seemed they had land-
ed on a floating island or a huge
mass of lava which has probably
been eddying around in this
strange whirlpool for centuries.
The Mexican soon returned to the
mouth of the cave, and lowering
lariats, by the aid of their horses
pulled the imprisoned explorers
out of their bondage and to the
surface once more. Another party
is being organized and will visit
the crater,

. We can remember no invented
tale that speaks so to4be heart at
once of the cruelty of life and the
beauty of human compassion, as
the true story closed by a sentence
in the newspapers, announcing
that Joseph Merrick, the "Ele-
phant Man," was dead. Imagine
a human soul clothed in a body so
unspeakably frightful; who hard-
ly dared to venture abroad even
by night; who finding his fellow
creatures run from him,grew teri-
fied by the terrors he created, and
shuddered in dark corners like a
haunted beast. Imagine hirin
driven by starvation to accept a
showman's offer and be exhibited
to the most brutal of audiences.
Early in 1886, Mr Frederick
Treves, one of the surgeons of the
London Hospital, found :derrick
in a penny show, in a room of the
Whitechapel road, crouching be-
hind an old curtain and trying to
warm himself over a brick that
was heated by a gas jet. Mr
Treves went up to him not only
without fear or loathing,but with
sympathy. For the first time in
his life of 24 years Merrick heard
a kind word and was spoken to
like a man. The effect was cur-
ious. It made him afraid at first.
He shrank as an ordinary man
would from something uncanny.
Then as he began to realize the
truth; he broke into sobs of grati-
tude. Days and even weeks pass.
ed, however, before be recovered
from the shock of hearing a com-
passionate word.
The police prohibited his show
on the ground of public decency.
So he went to Belgium, where
again the police interfered, and
where an agent decamped with his
money. Merrick was left desti-
tute and starving in the streets of
a foreign town, where the ignor-
ant men thought him a fiend.
He came back to London—how
no one quite knows. At every
station and landing place crowds
dogged him. But he came back
to London,because in London liv-
ed the only man who ever gave
him a kind word. He made his
way to the London huspital,found
Mr Treves, who had him lodged
for a time in an attic in the hos-
pital, and determined to find a
permanent shelter for him.
But now it was found that no
institution would receive him.—
The Royal hospital for incurablas
and the British home for incur-
ables alike declined to take him
in unless sufficient funds were
forthcoming to pay for his main-
tenance for life. He himself beg-
ged that he might be placed in a
blind hospital. It :s hard to
match the pathos of this plea.
Then in November, 1886, Mr
Carr Gomrn, wrote to the Times
asking help for this case, and the
British public responded. A
room was built for Merrick on the
ground floor irk a remote wing of
the hospital, and there, surround-
ed with books, flowers, and a hun-
dred tokens of the kindness that
is really quick in the public heart
he has lived until the middle of
April.
He had found many friends—
the Prince and Princess of Wales,
Mr Gladstone, Mrs Kendall :,nal
others. To Mrs Kendall is due
the happy suggestion that Merrick
should be taken to see the Christ-
mas Pantomime at Drury Lane.
She engaged the royal box; she
had him brought to the theatre:
and took precautions that no
strange eye should see hien. Hid-
den from the house, behind the
curtains of the box, the "Elephant
Man" tasted an hour or two of in
toxicating happiness: It was all
real to him --the fairies, the splen-
dor, and the jewels.
.M-rtiek5 ifs„§.pito of his hideous
exterior and terrible experiences,
was in his way a gentle sentiment-
alist, and gushed forth at times
under the happy conditions of his
life at the hospital in verse, mod•
elled on the hynms of Dr Watts,
in which he gave utterance of feel-
ings of gratitude, the sincerity of
whicn none ever questioned. It
was a tender heart that was beat-
ing beneath a mask more hideous
than that of Orson. Above all, it
was a heart that was filled with
love for the man who was literal-
ly his saviour, who first spoke
kindly to him, who rescued him
from a fate a thousand times
worse than death, and to the end
was both his doctor and friend.

Sufferers are not generally aware that

AN AWFUL TRAFFIC.
In a vigorous and stai•lltng ar-
ticle, which appeared some time
since from the pen of Margaret F.
Stewart in the Herald and Pres-
byter, occurs the following burn-
ing passage:—"A few years ago,
in a lonely hut in Central Africa,
a worn-out man died upon his
knees, praying in the fervor of
a consecrated, loyal soul, "Oh, let
Thy kingdom comet" He had op•
ened, he thought, tho great dark
continent to the onward march of
Chi istian civilization and the light
of God's truth. Christendom
shouted for joy, and the procession
started fynross the sea. Watch it.
One misnary, 70,000 gallons of

aries,missionaries and rum. Thus
we touch the groat Congo State.

FARM GLEANINGS.
The maple sugar Crop of Ver-
mont this year amounts to about
5,000,000 lbs., much below the
usual quantity.
Seventy car -loads of. Oranges
left Los Angeles, Ca]., for the
east by special trains Saturday.
Railway agents estimate that
there are 500 car -loads ',et re-
maining to be shipped.
Fodder and Turnips are both
very plentiful: in fact, some stack -
yards look as if the bulk had not
been long broken, and every-
where straw is abundant, while
of hay it may be said it is sup-
erabundant. The demand for it
all year has been of the most
languid character, and now those
who hold any considerable quant-
ity are not able to turn it into
cash. Almost every arable farm-
er has as many turnips as he is
able to cousume,while some will be
unable to use them all up before
the land must be ploughed and
lose their fresh, nourishing quali-
ties. It is said that in Yorkshire
and other counties they are being
ploughed down in immense gaun-
tities for manure.
If the other work and the con-
dition of the ground will admit
manure can be hauled out until
time to plant corn. This is es-
pecially the ease with land that
is to be planted to corn. It is
true that the first crop will not be
able to derive anything like the
full benefit of the application, and
especially if the manure is not
well rotted ; yet there is always
more or less of it that is soluble,
and will be of benefit to the grow-
ing crops. And the worloot' pre-
paring the soil, planting and cul-
tivating will incorporate with the
soil, and it will be rotting; and
the different elements acting upon
it will make it soluble, and the
soluble parte will be taken up by
the soil, ready to be used by -the
succeeding crops. If the ground
has been ploughed in the fall, all
the better.

" About two years. ::go, r.ft, r suffering
for nearly two years from rheui,atie
gout, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including ,mineral waters,
without relief, I saw by an advertise-
ment in a Chicago paper that a man had
been relieved of this distressing com-
plaint, after long suffering, by taking
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I then decided to
make a trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months. I ala
pleased to say that it effected a com-
plete cure, ane] that I have since had no
return of the disease."
Mrs. L. A. Stark, Nashua,
writes: "One year ago 1 was taken ill
with rheumatism, being confined to my
house six months. I came out of the
sickness very much debilitated, with no
appetite, and my system disordered in
every way. I commenced to use Ayer's
Sarsaparilla and began to improve at
once, gaining in strength and soon re-
covering my usual health. I cannot say
too mnoh in praise of this well-known
medicine."
"I have taken a great deal of medi-
