France's Conrse in Tononin

LONDON, june 21.-J. A. Grove, COM
mercial attache of the English Embassy
at Paris, reports that the French Govern
ment is extending the system of differen-
tial duties which, as was announced
some time ago, it had decided to establish
in Tonquin. The system is now to be es-
tablished in all the French possessions in
Africa. A duty of 20 per cent. is
to be levied upon all except
French goods. Further than this, in
order to favor French vessels, restrictions
are to be imposed upon the navigation
of all rivers on the west coast of Africa
which are held by France. The English
Foreign Office has instructed the Embassy
at Paris to report on the commercial
policy prevalent in the French colonies,
and to ascertain whether the government
intends to extend to all its colonies this
system of diffsrential duties.

Manufactures OF Wood.

Age of Steele
Perhaps in no branch of American
industry has greater progress been
made during the last thirty years than
in the vast and varied manufacture of
wood. We have not only distanced
all rivals in this branch of industry,
but have gained firm foothold in
foreign markets, especially for eur ag-
ricultural implements, furniture and a
variety of labor-saving machines. The
perfection to which our wood working
machines have been brought by unri-
vailed ingenuity has given Americas
manufacturers of wood worldwide
reputation. For, as nine-tenths of the
costs of articles included under the
head of "woodenware" consists in the
labor necessary to their manufacture,
and as the wages Of labor in this coun-
try are comparatively high, it could
hardly have produced successfully its
own woodenware without the aid of
machinery. With this aid, however,
the home market has not only been
supplied by home dealers, but Ameri-
can woodenware has found its way into
various foreign markets. For instance,
the exports of woodenware for the
year ending June 80, 1882, were val-
ued at nearly half a million dollars.
The manufacture of furniture increas-
ed in value from ST., 693.000 in 1850
to SIS, $685. 600 in 1870, while the es-
timated increase in the last thirteen
years has been very large, The growth
in the manufacture of agricultural i'm
plements has been still greater. With
woods of all kinds in abundance and
easily accessible, with improved ma
chinery for the purpose, there seems
to be no reason why the expectation
of woodenware should not yearly in
crease.

Importance of Exercise For Stations

At this hour of the 10Th century, it
is scarcely needful to repeat the lesson
If long-learned lessons were not too
readily forgotten-that the health of
all the vital functions, in man or beast,
depends very much upon exercise;
free and frequent, not necessarily vio>
lent, bodily exercise. Without it, the
frame cannot grow as it should, health.
ly development Of muscle is impossible,
and when the animal reaches maturity,
and should become parent, the result
OF its indolent life is seen in either par
tial decline or total loss of the repro
ductive powers. Those powers are also
injuriously affected, in male or female,
by insuficiency of exercise at mature
age, however healthful the circum.
stances of earlier life may have been.
Exercise of the body tends to keep
down those fatty excuses which gath.
er about the generative system of high.
ly fed females, often causing barrenness
when not so guarded against, especial
ly in cattle, sheep, and swine of the
heavier sorts; but the male, no less
than the female, is liable to loss of
truitfulness from inaction; and of all
animals, the horse, framed for activity
aud labor, is one of the first to feel the
want of sufficient exercise. Violent
exercise is net the decideratum, but
exercise sufficiently frequent and ex-
tended to promote habit of healthy
circulation of the blood, and to give
the blood an ample supply of oxygen,
by the'stimulated action of the lungs,
in the open air. The fact that stations
which travel are usually surer sires
than those kept at home, although the
latter may have what is considered a
fair amount of exercise, has been re.
peatedly observed in the principal
horse-breeding establishments of Eu-
rope.
The horse, essentially locomotive
animal, seems to need proportionately
more exercise than the male of any
race not formed as he is for great and
sustained muscular activity. The usu-
al amount of exercise allowed to stall

be Gas a rule) enough to place them,
as regards sexual vigor and the num-
Der of their progeny, upon the same
level with stations that constantly
