Senator McEnery at Home.
Senator McKnery delivered a speech
before the Choctaw Club of New Orleans
Wednesday night, explaining his poeition
on the tariff question and his vote on the
Dingley bill.
Mr. McEnery was the only Democratic
Senator who voted for the Dingley bill,
and his course, he told his constituents,
was dictated by two reasons: (1) The bill
carried substantial protection to the inter?
ests of the whole country, the South's in
UreBts along with others. He considered
that the South's present interests needed
protection. The South as a huge plantation
had no stake in protection. But that day
had passed, and now when ner manufac?
turing and mineral interests were to be
considered, their development could only
be secured by the means that had proved
successfull elsewhere. (2) What he was
asking and assisting in obtaining for his
section he was willing to vote to bestow
upon other sections. The sugar interesL
of Louisiana had no greater claim upon
the consideration of the protection senti?
ment of Congress than had the different
interests of other States represented in
that body. Mr. McEnery's reference to
the Sugar Trust was that the fight that the
Trust made in the Senate and the defeat
to which, in the end, the Trust was obliged
to go. He praised the sugar schedule
prepared by the House, and declared that
it eliminated all trusts inilueuces, which
had been so potent in the previous Con?
gress and had been able to dictate the
the sugar schedule of the Wilson bill. Of
the amendments offered by the Democrats,
to restore the ad valorem duties of the
Wilson bill, Mr. McEnery pointed out that
"it received the support of the opponents
of the bill and the Sugar Trust, for no bet?
ter schedule could have been asked by the
Trust. It was the schedule which it dic?
tated, and the one under which it so
rapidly progressed to power and influence.
?Wash. (D. C.) Star.
The Change the People Got in 1894.
Boston Journal, Rep].
The people voted for change. They got
it. Even before the Gorman-Wilson mon?
strosity went into effect prices began to go j
down. The cost of living was cheapened.
Nobody has denied that?no body
will deny it. But?and here is the vital
fact which very soon made the people j
excediDgly weary of their "change"
?wages began to drop even before j
prices did. Tbey fell faster and they fell [
farther. Of what advantage is the re?
duction in price of, say, foreign woolens
from $2 to $1.75 per yard to the machanic
whose daily pay has been sliced down from
$2 to $1.50?or, may be, cutoff altogether?
What gain is it to the working woman if
12} cents is snipped off the cost of foreign
eillu, when at the same time her wages are |
reduced 25 per cent., or she is dismissed
because of a "falling off in business?"

Ex-Senator Sanders.of Montana,who has
reached Washington, repeats the general
testimony that there are signs of business
revival throughout the West, and that,
while the active improvement is not great
as yet, the stronger hopefullness is very
manifest. Mr. Sanders' view of the sit?
uation is conservative. In fact, he might
have made it 8tiil more sanguine without
risk of getting himself classed with the ad?
vance agents of Prosperity; but Iiis words
lose nothing in value from their mod?

now being imparted to the bueines system
by the favorable reports of business better?

TEACHING BY PHONOGRAPH.
Novel Scheme of n Jiew York Profes?
sor of Languages to Save Labor.
The phonograph, which has passed
through many commercial vicissitudes,
has proved itself a most practical and
valuable device in a field originally
unthought of. For the last five years
a New York professor of languages has
taught various tongues by phonograph
in all parts of the world, but especially
in South America and Mexico. He fur?
nishes a text book, say for Spaniards to
learn English, arranged in 20 lessons.
These lessons are also given in his own
voice on 20 cylinders. Accompanying
these transcribed cylinders are 20 blank
ones. The graphophonc, which is a
variation of the phonograph, is found a
convenient instrument to send to the
pupil. There is also sent a cylinder
containing a lesson in any language,
with a chapter or scene from a comedy
or a novel, or with a song or a ballad.
Blank cylinders for the return mes?
sages or recitations cost 20 cents apiece.
The pupil, thus equipped, opens the
book at the first lesson, puts the tubes
into his ears and starts the machine
slowly. He repeats this practice on
any passage, again and again, more and
more rapidly, until he is thoroughly
familiar with every intonation and ac?
cent. Having in this way mastered the
first lesson he puts one of the blank
cylinders in the machine and answers
the questions of the lesson. This cylin?
der, inclosed in a little box, goes back
to the teacher, who, with a stenog?
rapher by his side, listens to the recita?
tion and dictates his corrections and
criticism. The letter and cylinder go
back to the pupil, who compares his
own utterances with the original cyl?
inder at the points indicated in the
teacher's letter and is enabled to tell
wherein his defect Bes and how to cure
It.
Over 1,000 phonographs have been
Eold for this purpose. Its immense
value as a teacher lies in the fact that it
uever wearies and will go on repeating
the same passages either with the
same or varied intonation for thou?
sands of times, if necessary, so that the
pupil can learn by assiduous practice
to reproduce the finest shades of in?
flection and thus acquire a purity of
accent that could only be otherwise
attained by long residence in the coun?
try where the language is spoken. An
extension of this idea, which has al?
ready taken shape, is the giving of vo?
cal lessons by phonograph. This, how?
ever, is a much more complex matter,
and It is doubtful whether it can be
made more than a qualified success.
One of the most vital things in singing
Is color, and this is just what most
phonographs fail to reproduce. If an
instrument can be made that can be re?
lied upon to do this the burden of vocal
teaching can be greatly lightened, and
American students of singing can en
joy a European course of tuition with
out needing to cross the ocean for it.?

An Old Idea.
Every day strengthens the belief of emi?

HAY AND HOG RACK.
A Combination Structure Which
8eem? Hard to Beat.
A lote number of the Canadian
Farmers' Advocate contained the ac?
companying description and' illustra?
tions of a combined* hay or sheep and
cattle rack by one of its correspond?
ents:
"The accompanying figures represent
a combined hay and Bheep rock which
is easily detachable and convenient to
store away under cover. Any ordinary
strong wagon box will answer if elects
are pot on to hold' the double end and
center-boards. Fig. 1 repre:ients the
side of the box, iya inches thick and any
desired wid/th and length, with cleats
on each end and in the center, nailed
on with 3-inch wire nails to receive
the cross pieces of the sides of the rack.
Fig. 2 represens the front board, which
is double. The lower portion of the
figure is removed from its proper po?
sition to show how the sides are held
in place. A is of 2x4-inch scantling. B
Is of 2xC-Inch hard wood. The stake
COMBINED HAT AND HOG RACK
is to build the front of the load* against
and hold the lines while loading. These
double boards are bolted or nailed with
heavy wire nails, well clinched. C is
of l%x4-inch hard wood. The center
ind hind boards are made the same as
Fig. 2 except that no s*take is needed.
Fig. 3 shows one of the sides held to?
gether with bolts or wire nails. A 7-foot
rack requires side pieces 3 feet 7 inches
long. Fig. 4 represents the hay rack
complete. It ii necessary to have a
good, strong bottom. It is also well to
have wagon rods having thumb nuts
pass through the box across the center
and ends to hold it firmly. A long rack
should have four cross pieces. Fig. 5
shows how the sides are lifted) off or
placed In position. A boy can readily
do thds. The box is shown 13 inches
deep, but 11 or 12 will answer. Fig. 6
represents the end boards for the sheep
rack. Standards A are 2x4-inch scant?
ling 3 feet 7 inches long. D is the
double backboard 12 Inches wide which
holds the hind shelving or hurdle in
place. B B are nailed to standards A
on the outside. Fig. 7 shows1 the sheep
rack. The end boards are placed in
position, and the right-hand1 shelving
is put on the left side of the box and
the left on the right. The end uprights
of the sides slip clown between stand?
ards A of the end and the sides of the
box. This holds the shelvings upright.
The end boards slap up and' dbwn on
C, Fig. 7. The rack is my own con?
trivance. I gave it a good trial last year
and am well satisfied with it."
HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.
It is claimed that there are not
enough heavy draft horses to supply
the market. Make that plain and the
supply vWll be coming.
There is complaint against the work
done by dehorning clippers and prefer?
ence expressed for the savj? The clip?
pers are all right if used according to
directions.
The balky horse and the swearing
driver are two nuisances where the
horse should have the monopoly. Keep
your temper and) in some way get the
horse to think of something else. As
soon as you do he will go.
Hard roads bang up the feet of the
horse, and it is a question if hard roads
j are not as wearing on the horse as soft
I roads are. But independent of that
hard roads are desirable when they can
be had without too much burden to the
farmer.
The 1,200-pound hog?and one man
claims to have one?is not desirable or
profitable. Wo once saw a pen of ten
hogs where aggregate weight was 10,
000 pounds. Hogs to weigh must be
kept until the second year, and that of
itself is not advisable.
Secretary Wilson thinks that hog
cholera can be "abolished" and will
study the thdng from A to Z. It has
been studied already, but the more it I
Is studied the worse it is. Feed less
corn, breed from more mature stock
and keep the hogs under healthful con?
ditions are all the science there is to
the subject.?Western Plowman.
Small Hosts Pay Bent.
Immense size is no longer sought as
In former times. Smaller animals are
made ready for the shambles more
economically, the meat is more pala?
table and maturity is gained in a short?
er time. It has been the constant aim
of intelligent breeders to produce an
animal that will fatten at any age and
s great measure of success in that di?
rection has been attained. Formerly
the farmer believed it to be necessary
for his pigs to be farrowed in August
or early September for his pork supply
in the autumn of the next year. Thus
they would be several months more
than a year old when slaughtered, while
now, by the aid of Improved breeds and
a better system of feeding, a 200-pound
hog can be produced in less than half
time, better, more salable and of course
at less outlay.?Rural World.
