How the Meeting oBusted,�
em
The late W. A. Conchman, ot
lark county, Ky., was: the per-
petrator of an extraordinary
practical joke. Returning from a
hunting trip one evening, he was
attracted to a country church
owhere a revival was in progress.
After watching the seryices for
awhile he climbed up on the roof
to get a better yiew through the
hole where a stovepipe was
meant to go. In the excitement
of the evening one of the congre-
gation shouted ont oGabriel,
blow your horn! ITm ready to
4go!� Lhe temptation was too
great for Conchman, and, putting
bis horn to his lips, he blew a
plas: through the flue-hole, and
ptampéded the congregation to a
man. The grand jury discussed
the propriety of indicting the
acriligious hunter, but vo pro.
~peedings were taken against him.

Trade Under the McKinley Bill,
(ne ne
Se een a
The assertion is made in evi-
dent good faith that in 1892 under
the McKinley bill we had the
heaviest foreign trade of our his-
tory. Those who make it are
liable to deceive both themseives
and others unless they get at the
reality behind the: figures they
quote.
in anticipation of the passage
of the bill, European expor ers
crowded. this market with thelr
products until the total of our
imports for 1892 was increased a
dollar a head of population. This
resulted in moving out in 1892 a
volume of our exports averaging

wore 1880, with $16.43 for each

with $17.23.a.head, and 1892, with
$15.53 a head. In total foreign
trade 1892 was $1 a head of pop-
ulation below 1880 and $2 below
1881; while 1893, a KeKinley year,
with only $25.08 in foreiga trade
to the bead of population, was
$3 a head below the foreign trade
of 1873. :
The threat of the McKinley bill
increased exports by increasing
imports. As soon as the law
went into operation it began to
suppress imports, and of course
to force down exports in so much.

The moral relation of neighborliness |

lf you sand your-child to a school
attended by children of the wealthy,
these children will probably have
the outward pelish of peliteness,
but to take that for good morals is
the worst mistake in the world. If;
you send your child te a public!
school, you can have no idea as te,
what associztions he may form. A,
remedy for tkis would be the estab-'
lishinent of endowed schools, from}
whick.the inrproper class could be,
weeded ot. oThe public-school evils
could be imitigated by making the,
classes. smaller, by the establish-|
ment of distiplinary schools and by;
