WONDEREUL RESULTS.

Sra. —The towering intellect of Finance Minister Fielding must have been taxed to the utmost limit in the manipulation of the new tariff. It reflects the highest credit up the party of purity and is the upmisitakable harbinger of good times. The halle of legislatioa fairly reek with prosperity and all over the land joy and contentment reign. And the wise, honest and consistent Mr. Laurier did all this. The recent elections in Nova Scotia afford- ei another element of felicity in the situation, The only source of worriment ie the effect upon the clogded abilities of the masses of those giant tides of prosperity that now drip heavily upon the dreamy air. The dim haze that shrouds the misty peaks at moro and dewy eve as the Cabinet Ministers throw open the shutters of their palatial resi- dences to let in the fresh air, is prosperity. “Heil. prosperity! Ethereal mildness, bail!” sings Louis H., for it is a coy sprite, prosperity, and now that it is with us we must treatthe guest hospitably. Prosperity is indeed like the faith cure. If you would be healed smother all lurking skepticism and make up your mind you willbe cured. Then grasp the medium’s hand, aad io! your malady is gone and if it be mot gone, the fact is prcof that your faith is not strong. We may give our podies to be burned but if we bave not faith we will not be proeperous. This is the point of view from which to look at the grit revised tariff. It is working won- ders already. That subtle influ- ence which the t apostrophises as gentle spring is Laurier’s prosperity and under its benign influence the trees will.soon be putting on their tender garb of baves the soft young buds are peeping shy- ly forth and high in the cirulean blue pipes the Jark. From murmuring stream and meadow the same ecko trembles. Pros- perity isio thedear little nook by the clear running brook, and in the leafy sedge where long-leaved grasses creep, and on the craggy hedge where poppies hang in sleep. Louis H. and William told us that we needed eonfidence, and there is at this moment great confidence in them. All hail free trade with the United States! All hail the rise in the price of farm pro- ducts and general prosperity all along the line! Davies told us so.

-—Charles Austin Bates in his criticisms remarks that lack of originality is nota fault; but is a great misfortune. The rest of the world ie so bored by it. It is as- tonishing how little real originality there is and how much slavish imitation in this age of discovery. Of course, in a sense there is nothing new. Even Solomon realized that. But. there is always the possibility of new combinations of old re- sulte to produce new things. And if this combivations is a success it will be echoed in @ dozen forms before sundown. This is true in business, in literature, iu advertising, in art, inevery form of human activity. And the fact produces a great weariness of the flesh.

Seventy million people know Hood’s Sarsaparilla purifies the blood, strengthens the sy-tem and giyes good health.

A few nights ago fire occured in the cold storage warehouse of the Merchants Refrigerating Co. New York. The fumes of ammonia struck down many firemen, and doctors and nurses were summoned. One man was overcome and died in a short time. Tle loss is estimated at half a million,

Dr. Birkett, of Montreal, has succeeded in removing a large tailor’s thimble from the nose of Miss Annie McDonell, # teach- er in the Lancaster, Ont., Public School. Miss McDonell swallowed the thimble when she was a little child, eighteen years ago. Evidently it remained lodged in the passage betweea the nose and the throat where it was found. It caused ber con- siderable throat trouble for some time past. Surgeons say the case is almost without a parallel.

The New York Sun denounces the Queen’s jubilee as secretly intended to resuscitate the monarchical sentiment not only in the British possessions, but in the United Stares as well,”and epeaks of ber majesty as “an utterly commonplace dwarfed, lethargic type of femininity.” Editor Dana’s coarseness is On & par with that of the New Yark police magis- trate who, on Grant day, in sentencing one of the sailors of H. M.8. Talbot to jail for three days for drunkeness, remarked, “This is how we get even with the Queen.”

THE

RUBBERNECK BILL’S ADIEU.

He Was a Victim of Habit, and There Was No Hope.

Rubberneck Bill was the terror of Pizen Creek. He was called Rubberneck because he had been informally strung up on several occasions by vigilance committees, yet had each time escaped alive with a neck somewhat elongated, but still serviceable as a conduit for tanglefoot. After he had been lynched the third time his neck was a foot long, and he began to get alarmed.

**See here, Dave,’’ he protested to the leader of the vigilantes the day after his third suspension, ‘‘I don’t mind be- in lynched a few times, Somebody’s got to be practiced on now an then or Pizen Creek will be gittin dead slow, I know, but I wish you’d patronize some other cuss fer awhile. If this neck stretchin keeps on reg’lar my beauty will be plumb sp’iled fer sure.’’ ;

**You better pull yer freight, Bill,”’ the vigilante chief said grimly. ‘‘Next time ye go up there’ll be sich a charge of lead in yer carkiss that yer neck’ll snap like a pipestem.’’

Bill did not heed the warnng, and a week later he was rounded up for steal- ing a horse and told to say his prayers. He remembered the threat about the lead, and wien he saw a dozen of the miners standing around expectantly, guns in hand, he knew that his rubber neck reliance was soon to be punctured for all time.

‘‘If ye’ve got anything to say, out with it,’’ cried Dave.

“‘T have, Dave, I have,’’ said Rubber- neck Bill. ‘‘I’ve gota speech of solemn warnin to make to the young tender- foots an others as is yere present. Gim- me a chaw of terbacker, Dave. Thanks. Now, what I was a-goin to remark to the young men was for them to beware of habit. This yere habit is a awful thing fer sure. Ye doa thing onct, an it ain’t much, but you do it twict or three times, an you feel like you must do it ag’in or bu'’st. That’s habit, an habit is a thing fer you to beware of. Habit is what has brought me to this yere necktie party. Habit’’—

‘*Hoss stealin,’’ the leader of the vig- ilantes remarked sententiously, ‘‘hoss stealin habit.’’

‘*No, not hoss stealin, jest plain hab- it, derm ye,’’ shouted Rubberneck Bill. ‘You fellers have got into the habit of hangin me, an I don’t suppose there’s no way of makin ye swear off, so let ’er g0, Dave Barker; let ’er go.’’—New York Sunday Journal.

Conflicting Emotions.

**Old man, you seem worried. ”’

“Worried is no name forit. Brown is coming around at 4 o’clock to pay me $15.’’

‘*Think he may not come?”’

**Oh, he’ll come all right, but Jones is due at 4:15 totry to collect $10 I owe him. Suppose he should get here just as I was being paid by Brown.’’—Cin- cinnati Enquirer.

Highly Esteemed.

‘*T used ter think,’’ remarked Mean- dering Mike, ‘‘that I wasn’t popular with dumb animals.’’

**Are ye?’’ inquired Plodding Pete.

‘*Tremendously. I met three dogs to- day, and every one of them thought I was nice enough to eat.’’—Washington Star.

“ene Majority of Women.”

The opponents of woman suffrage claim to represent the majority of wom- en. The claim is baseless.

The majority of women are neither euffragists nor remonstrants; they are indifferent. Of those who take any live- ly interest in the question either way the large majority want to vote. . This bas been shown year after year by the relative nuinbers of petitioners and re- monstrants. Not only in Massachusetts, but in Maine, New York, Illinois, Iowa —in short, wherever petitions for suf- frage and remonstrances against it have been sent in the petitioners have always outnumbered the remonstrants at least five to one, and oftener fifty or a hun- dred to one. The so called referendum of 1895 merely demonstrated the same thing by an efficial count.—Boston Woman’s Journal.

Almsgiving and Religion.

For many years almsgiving has been regarded by the church as a mere acces- sory to religion, and too often as a means of promoting attendance at its services and classes.: Now time has worked out its revenge, and the people have come to regard services and classes —and, indeed, religion itself so far as. they know it—as accessory to almsgiv- ing and as a means of obtaining relief. It would sometimes seem as if the only hope for both lay in an entire divorce between the two.—‘‘Rich and Poor,’’ by Mrs. Bosanquet.

BARBER POLES.

Modern Styles and Decorations — Some Poles Are of lron,

extent now a barber pole of galvanized

mental projections and is painted in the same manner as a wooden pole. An- other western pole has four upright strips of iron, around which are wound spirally other iron strips, making a lat- ticed pole. The spiral encirciing strips ere so painted as to form the usual stripes. There is talk now of alumin- jum barber poles, which would be much more expensive, but would be of extreme durability and could always be sold ai so much a pound.

almost all made of wood, and in fact the barber poles everywhere are princi- pally of wood. The wood commonly use is soft maple.

Barber poles are made in various sizes, but standard full size poles are made # and 10 feet in length and from 8 to 12 inches in circumference. They are scmetimes made 14 inches in cir- cumference, but that is unusual, There is now in force in this city an ordinance requiring that outside barber poles shall be kept within the stoop line, and that they shall not exceed 5 feet in height. Before the adoption of that ordinance the large pole most commonly used in this city was 10 feet in height and 10 inches in diameter. Since the ordinance came into force there has been here an increased use of door poles and window poles, these being very much slender- er, and in the case of the window poles very much shorter. The door pgles stand beside the doorway or entrance. In the case of a basement shop, where the poles would be at the beginning of the steps, and so in sight along the ssdewalk, they are placed upright. When placed beside a ground floor door- way, they are slanted outward slightly, s0 that the top projects beyond the building front. The window poles, which are short little poles with a gild- ed ball at each end, are fixed at an an- gle to iron brackets secured to the win- dow casing. A barber is likely to use two door poles, one on either side of the door, and he may use window poles also, so that in this city the number of poles used is greater than ever before, though it may be that their aggregate bulk is no larger than that of the small- er number of larger poles that once stood by the curbstones, or were other- wise conspicuously placed.

There have been made barber poles with spira! stripes simulated by stripes painted diagonally on tapering strips of board. Years ago, too, there were made some barber poles of four strips of board, tapering and nailed together, making an obelisk shaped sign, which was striped in the usual way. But the pole, usally in some simple form, was the common thing, and this developed grad- ually into the more elaborate pole now commonly used, which is made with perhaps bands or other shapes turned or otherwise fastened upon it, and with greater riches and variety of ornamenta- tion. Pretty much all poles are sur- mounted by a gilded ball. Other shapes— pear, for instance—have been made for a finish, but the ball is the most popular. With the more elaborate poles, with bands and carvings and panels, and witn the spaces of the length more broken up, came more elaborate styles of coloring, and more or less departure from the usual spiral stripes, poles being painted with the conventional colors, but with diamond shapes, and so on. But now, while poles are made as elab- orately as ever in shape, there is rather more simplicity of coloring, and the most elaborate of poles are pretty sure to show the spiral striping somewhere, the clear spaces on the pole between the ornamental designs being thus painted.

Less blue is used in stripes than for- merly, the stripes being now usually of red and white, and the red generally used is a shade darker than formerly. More gold than ever is now used on the big ornamental poles. Besides, on the tops it is sometimes used in stars and other gilded ornamentation, and there are poles of various sizes made with spiral gold stripes on a black body in- stead of a white body. These cost more than poles striped in colors, but the use of them is increasing. More black and gold poles are used in the west, where people seem to spend more money on barber poles than in the east. But ev- erywhere the spiral stripes are the bar- ber’s symbol, whether they are painted on a pole specially designed for a sign or on a telegraph pole, or, as may some- times be seen in smaller places, around the trunk of a tree.—.New York Sun.
