THE TWO GIANTS. i mighty giant once there was, A gentle giant he, Whom all men loved where’er he went, „ And none was known to flee. He lived within a castle fair, And great as he was strong ;• And those who passed when he was there Could hear a happy song. His heart was kind, his band was free,] His soul was set to mirth. And all men said: “^Tis joy to live With him upon the earth.” His face was bright with pleasant smiles, His laugh was good to hear. While round about him everywhere ’Twas summer all the year. Swift flow the time ; the giant grew Full old and weak of frame; One day unto the castle fair Another giant came. And as the gentle giant waned The other waxed in might; A man of solemn mien was he, Nor glad unto the sight. The castle old grew silent, cold, Nor any mirth came eftit, And where the summer long had smiled The winter stalked about. And all men passed another way • Whenever that they could ; They dreaded him as they had loved The merry giant good. No song was ever on his lips, His eyes were hollow lights ; The castle seemed a haunted pile, And dark and chill o’ nights. And round about it rose the wave, And lo I an island where The gloomy giant dwelt alone, The picture of despair. And those who knew the giants twain The truth with tears confess ; “They brothers were—and one was Grief And the other was Happiness.” —Chicago Record. AN EARLY CALL. iE proposed to her ll in the conserva¬ tory after s u p - I per; he did not II j go knees down on declare his % that life or would be nothing to him without her, but he told her, simp¬ ly and earnestly, that she was very U. dear to him; that he had al w ays loved her, and that 1 ft as his wife i t ' would be his care to guard her from the world’s rude bufletings. “I think I could make you happy,” he said. “I am not as clever as some of the men you know, but I love you.” “Yes,” she murmured, “I know yon love me—you have always been good to me; you must know—you must feel that I appreciate it. It touches me to have you care for me—1 wish I could make you understand that I am gratefnl. ” why should “Grateful? But you be? Could I help loving you ? Could I know you and not care for yon ? You are bo unlike other women, so free from envy and petty malice. I have watched you with your girl friends—I have seen .you do many a kindness that you thought nobody knew any¬ thing about*. I think it was your goodness that charmed me first.” She looked up—was he really in earnest? “Don’t praise me,” she said; “com¬ pliments from other men are well enough, but not from you.” “Is it a compliment to tell you what I think? And it seems to me I have said so little. Ah! if you could know what is in my heart—but no doubt,” as she made an impatient movement, “you have heard all this before— a twice-told story wearies. What can I say to win you—you who are so used to being loved? To another woman I might speak of my wealth, of all that I could give her, but not to you.” well of me,” she “You think too broke in. “No, Edith—I understand you—and that is why I want you all for mine,to have and to hold, to love and to cherish ;■ say that you like me a little, will be my wife. ” you toward him, the words She leaned that would send him from her, and end forever the friendship that had become a part of her life were tremb¬ ling on her lips, when he, guessing her intention, perhaps, said hurriedly: “Some one is coming—your German partner, I think.

It was natural for her to postpone unpleasant things to put off the evil day as long as pos¬ sible. “As yon wish, then; will you call to-morrow. ” “Ye*, in the morning, at II.” He bowed and withdrew just aa her next partner came harrying up. “Hie cotillon is about to begin, Hiss Alton,” he said, taking Manning’s chair, “bat I think we have time for a short ehal Yon don’t mind talking to me for a few minutes, do yon?” “Why, no,” she answered, for she liked the lad not only for his own sake, bat because of his friendship with that other, whose image was never long ab¬ sent from her mind. „ * “By the way,” “I he said, aa if reading her thoughts. got a le tt er from Agaev to-day.

Think of HI He has been away six - t» “No doubt he W enjoying himself.” “Oh, Carl will get the best out of life; that’s his way, you know.” “Yes, I know.” The answer was given so carelessly, with such appar¬ ent indifference, that he was about to speak, -to tell her the tidings that his * letter contained, and "Which so far some instinct had made him withhold, when his hostess ap¬ peared in the doorway. “Come, you two,” she called; “the others are waiting for you.” “Dear Mrs. Danton,” said the girl, rising. “Mr. Lane and I are such old'friends that we sometimes forget how time fliesl” “You young dissembler,” laughed the older woman; “you know Her¬ bert Manning was in the conservatory with you.” A sudden blush stained* Edith’s cheek—she hated herself for it, it was so apt to mislead—but Mrs. Dan ton seemed in no way surprised. “There, child ; don’t look so fright¬ ened,” she said. “No one wishes you happiness more than I. ” “But, Mrs. Danton—” “Really, Miss Edith,” put in Lane, who had been a puzzed 5 and uncom¬ fortable listener, “Idon’tlike to hurry you, but we shall surely be late.” She turned away; after all, what did it matter; by to-morrow the world would know the truth, Manning’s face would tell the story of his rejection, and a few hours’ misconstruction could harm no one. But late that night, when she stood in her own pretty room, she felt vaguely dissatis¬ fied with herself; she could not put the feeling from her. “I have not acted honestly,” she said aloud. “I should have answered him ; it was not kind to put him off, it may lead him to hope, he may have misunderstood me.” She was silent a moment, then went on still contritely: “And 1 do like him. He is the kind¬ est, .truest friend, but love—’’ She arose and crossed the room. When she came back she carried a photograph, a man’s cold, clever face —the face of one who knew the world, and was perhaps not on the best of terms with it. “But for you,” she said, gazing in¬ to the unresponsive eyes, “I had loved that other man ; if you*had not shown me so clearly that I was dear to you, I might still care for him, for he loves me dearly? but it is too late now—too late to talk of what might have been.” She stopped and laid her lips on the picture’s. The next morning she was idling over her fire, when the maid brought up a bunch of heartsease and a card: “Mr. Manning’s compliments, ma’am, and will you see him?” “Yes; say to him that 1 will be down in a moment.” When the door closed she lifted the heartsease tenderly; a mute appeal, they seemed to her, from the giver. “Poor fellow,” she thought regret¬ fully. “I should have told him; how¬ ever, there is no use keeping him waiting. I might as well get through with it at once.” She pinned the heartsease in the lace at her throat, cast a parting glance at the mirror and started down the stairs. As she reached the lower hall the front door opened and a servant ad¬ mitted a girl in gray with a bunch of roses thrust into her muff. “Why, Edith,” she said rapidly, “I never thought to find you down so early. If you are going out don’t let me keep you. ” “I am not going out; come into the sitting room and get warm.” “No, I won’t sit down. I only want to see you a moment. I came to ask you to join our house party—there will only be eight of us, the same old crowd had last year. ” we “The same crowd? How delight¬ ful 1” “The same, and not the same. I won’t invite Mr. Agnew now.” “And what has poor Mr. Agnew done?” “What has he done? Ob, nothing unusual; they all do it sooner or later; but au engaged man is de trop at an affair of this kind. r ’No girf wants him for a partner, and, really, one can’t blame them.” “An engaged man!” For one hor¬ rible moment Edith Alton thought she was about to faint; the next, however, the table chairs righted them¬ selves, her \ffWtor’s face ceased its grotesque gyrations and she was con¬ scious that she was speaking. “Sol Where did you hear, that pleasant bit of new*?” she asked, seat¬ ing herself on the arm of a chair. “Why, last night; Mr. Lane told me ooming home. Strange he never mentioned it to you. I am horribly disappointed. She’s a Boston girl. You remember her little creature who visited the Mores. Wealthy, of course—trust Charlie for that—but obi so plain.” of be¬ “Beauty is in the eye the holder,” quoted Edith, lightly. She felt a longing to cry out, to bury her face somewhere, instead of which the must smile and look unconcerned and .jitfiiu this love affair with the indif¬ ference of a mere acquaintance. “If I remember rightly she was a nice lit¬ tle thing.” Fancy Charlie's “Nice?

I thought,” significantly, “he fancied some one else, somebody nearer home.” “Somebody nearer home?—oh, do you mean Why,’ myaelf? How awfully fanny! we are very good friends; we have always been friends; but I—” a rapid flash of thought; then, with rising color, “I am going to marry another man.” Her visitor’s face expressed intense “Going to be married,” l; “I had not heard—” “Be baa heard,” said the other with km, “and, by tbe way, waiting for me is the library. I must ask you to exousa me. “Mr. Manning?” I thought “Did you not guess?

Gome, you Will have to let me out; I am not au fait with J'our latch.” - , “What a strong wind there is—draw up your wraps. Goodbv, and again thank yon for thinking of me.” The front door slammed and Edith stood a moment in the hall, gathering courage for what was to come ; then she turned iiml went into ttfe library.

I knew it wasn’t like you to keep me in suspense—you*are too true of heart for that.” “Too true,” she thought, remorse fully. “Oh, Herbert, Herbert!” But aloud she said, smiling half sad ly into his loving eyes: “To think of your being afraid of me—of poor little me—who am not half worthy of you!” —New Orleans Times-Democrat. Hunting Sea Lions. At the close of the fur-seal-killing season, the natives proceed to lay in their winter’s supply of meat. Annm ber of.picked men go to Northeast Point, steal down to the shore in the dead of night, and crawl along at the water’s edge until a line of men is dis posed between the eleeping herd and the water. At a given,signal the men all spring to theiafeet, yell, discharge pistols, and terribly frighten the sleep ingsea lions. Those that lie with their heads toward the water plunge for ward and quickly disappear, but those headed landward naturally enough start forward away from the uproar. Being continually urged ou, they soon find themselves fairly inland, with all chances of escape cut off. The groups of from twenty to fifty caught thus each night are driven up on to the level ground, and held until from three to five hundred have been taken, when the grand drive begins. Then the whole herd is actual!v driven ten miles overland to the village. Ac cording to the condition of the weather, the drive requires from six days to three weeks, but in the end every sea lion who does not die of heat or ex haustiou on the road actually carries his own carcass to market. This animal yields abont the same clans of products as does the walrus; and its flesh forms the principal food of all the natives of the fur-seal islands. The skin is thickly covered withdoarse stiff hair of a brownish-yellow color, but it is destitute of “fur,” and hence is of no value in our market. 8teller’s sea lion is about twice the size of the fur seal, the old male being from ten to eleven feet jn total length, from eight to nine feet in girth, and it weighs on an average abojnt 1200 pound*. The females are not quite half as large, iu actual bulk, as tha, males. Although cowardly in their disposition toward man, the males are among themselves the fiercest fighters in the world.

Protection Pauperizes and Prostl tutes Our Industries—Olass and Woolen Industries Are Object Lessons—A Terrible Indictment of tbe Protective Systeln. Does protection foster industries and make them strong, healthy and independent? It does in the same wav that saloons stimulate boys and make them vigorous, self-reliant and prosperous men. Protection duties make bums and paupers amongst in dustrious as aleoholio stimulants make bums and paupers amongst men. Nat ural foes and normal conditions are best in either case. Protection pros titntes industries by removing them from their free and unrestricted com petition, which is the best guarantee of a healthy growth and of independ ence. When foreign competition is cut off or restricted by tariff duties, a home industry can retain our “home markets” without any attempt to keep pace with improvements abroad, Hence it often happens ^ that our pro te{jted mannfftctnr B continue to use machinery and methods long since discarded abroad.

Aq instanc or two wi u 8erve as object lessons as to the prostituting effect! of protection. During the past three years both the National Glass Budget and the Commoner and Glass Worker—the chief organs of the glass -workers of the oountry—have several times admitted editorially that but for protection our glass interests would now be independent and fearless. They say that our natural opportnni ties f or mR king glass are unrivalled, and that when nntural gas (the best fuel for glass purposes) came as a God send a few years ago, we should have ga j ne d full control not only of our oy(n mar k e ts but of many foreign mar kets. This we would have done but that our glass industry had been so long pampered by protection. For example, our glass manufacturers are still . pot furnaces, al ... ough , using l has been clearly demonstrate tha tank furnaces (which have been m use £? r years in Belgium, Germany an France) are far superior Protected *00 per cent, duties from foreign ^ by numerous trusts from internal competition, they have continued their old methods.

The same ( Sects are seen in tho woolen industry, the Dext highest pro | tected of the important industries, i Protection has been a curse instead of ; ft blessing, boon after tbe election of 1892 the Wool and Cotton Reporter of 1‘ebruary 23, 1893, begged that duties on woolens be lowered gradually »o as to give the manufacturers time *° ®d°pt improved machinery. It said that the forty per cent, duties pro¬ posed by Mills in 1888, might have given ample protection then, but that since the manufacturers had grown careless and slonchy under the extreme protection of McKinleyism, they could not stand a sudden reduction if it should go lower than fifty per cent, This is a terrible indictment of the whole protective system. That it is true is vouched for by another great authority—the Dry Goods Economist —which said editorially on October 6: ‘Tn our market report on, woolen goods this week will be found some interesting facts showing the effect on the woolen industry of this country of the new tariff. Tbe leaven of free wool has only just begun to work, but already important changes are becom ing apparent. Prominent among these is tbe condition in which the manu¬ facturers using antiquated themselves and waste¬ ful machinery find placed. Under a tariff ranging at times as high m 175 per cent, it was possible to use these old rattletrap at a profit, and hence factories fitted with machinery of this olass existed and were operated, Under the new conditions these factories will be elosed, oi« if oper ated, will be fitted with machinery of the best and newest kind.

In telling .them how they might compete with foreign goods without reducing wages it said : “Our mill owners at first should equip their mills with modern machinery. * * There is a large amount of lost labor iu our cot ton mills at the present time.

The World says: “Tbe tables we present to-day show that the cost of living under the Demo cratic tariff is less by from ten to twenty-five per cent than it was ayear ago under the McKinley tariff. That the is to say, a dollar now will buy of necessaries of, life about as much as 81.10 or 81.25 would buy a year ago, although at that time hundreds of merchants were ready to Hell their goods at a sacrifice to save themselves from bankruptcy.

The facts and figures are all given in detail in the tables elsewhere printed, “Those are the results of tariff re¬ form.
