Democratic free trade orators will tell
you that coat costing S25 in this coun-
try can be bought for $15 abroad, and
that the burdensOme ''taX" on the wool
makes the difference. A coat costing $50
contains about four pounds of wool.
The tariff tax on wool is 10 cents per
pound. Four times ten are forty, there
fore the $50 coat is ''burdened' to the
exact amount of 40 cents! Where does
the other $500 so? 1t goes to the men
and women who work the machines.
the shears, the tape, the yard stick,
the needle and thread that turn
the wool into coat. They earn twice
as much money as they could abroad
and can afford to wear good clothes
themselves. The average American,
however, does not wear a $25 coat.
There are coats and coats. An ordinary
business or Sunday suit of clothes can
be bought of first class tailoring estab-
lishments the country over for $50 to $50,
the coat alone costing from IS to SIS.
In factory made clothes good, servicea-
bic, all wool protected wool suits can
be bought at all the way down to So.
Such are the awful burdens of the tariff.

LONDON Tines
An Italian engineer, Signor Victor
Brocca, has just completed the survey 0:
the proposed canal across Italy. the OBJ
iect of which Is TO save the very long
journey round Cape Leuca- This canal
would begin on the western side, near
Castro. on the Tyuhenian sea, and

How Dogs Are Enabled To Follow tho

How Dogs Are Enabled tn Follow tho
TRAIT Of Their Masters.
Some very interesting experiments
were recently made in England to de-
tormine how il is that the dog is en-
ablod TO follow the trail Of his master.
A gentleman used for n series OF tests
a pointer with which he had hunted for
several years. Every precaution was
taken to prevent the dogs being guided
by any thing but the sense of smell.
The hunter. with his hunting boots on.
first walked about mile over the grass,
turning in various directions. and then
hid himself The dog. not having seen
him, of course, was brought To tho
,tarting-placc. when he ut once took
the trail and followed it rapidly and
accurately until he found his master.
The hunter then headed n procession
Of twelve persons walking Indian file,
each man being careful to place his feet
in the footprints of The man preceding
him. After walking two hundred yards
the hunter turned to the right, followed
by ono-half of the men. and the other
half turned To the left Each party
made Il number of turns and dctours.
and then concealed themselves. Tho
dog, when put on the trad, followed it

ton. without moments hesitation.
turned To the right, rs his master had
done.
A stranger To the dog then put on tho
masters hunting boots. and after tho
same precautions the dog followed tho
tracks rs quickly aS he had followed his
masters. When the master wore tho
boots of the stranger the dog would not
follow. nor would he follow the trail OF
the stranger when he walked with naked
feet, but he did follow his master under
the same conditions, though slowly and
with much hesitation. The hunter tried
wearing now boots. and the dog refused
To follow. lie then resumed his hunt
ing-boots, after pasting paper under tho
soles and along the sides; but the dog
paid no attention To- the trail until u
point was reached where very small
piece of the paper had fallen from tho
boot; from that on tho trail was fol-
lowed rapidly.
In the last experiment, the hunter.
with his hunting-bootS on free Of paper,
walked fifty yards, and then drew off
his boots and walked three hundred
yards barefoot. but holding his boots in
his hand, which hung down. Then,
raising his arm aud still holding tho
boots. he walked three hundred yards
more. The dog when placed on tho
trail followed the whole distance with
