THINGS A BABY CAN DO.

ANY Father or Mother Knows That These Are
Facts.
What baby can do is explained by
Five Talents of Women, new work.
A baby can beat any alarm clock ever
invented waking a family up in the
morning.
Give it a chance and II car. smash more
dishes than the most industrious servant
girl in the country.
1t can fall down oftener and with less
provocation than the most expert tuIn-
bier in the circus ring.
1t can make more genuine fuss over a
simple brass pin than its mother would
over broken back.
1t can choke itself black in the face
with greater ease than the most accom-
plished wretch that was ever executed.
1t can keep a family in n constant tur-
MOL from morning till night and night
till morning without once varying its
tune.
1t can be relied upon to sleep peace
fully all day when its father is away on
business, aud cries persistently at night
when he is particularly sleepy.
1t may be the naughtiest, dirtiest,
ugliest, most fretful baby in all the
world, but you can never make its mother
believe it, and you had better not try.
1t can he a charming and model infant
when no one is around, but when visitors
are present il can exhibit more bad
temper than both of its parents put
together.
1t can brighten up house better than
all the furniture ever made, make
sweeter music than the finest orchestra
ever organized, fill a larger place in its
parents breasts than they knew they
had, and when it goes away it can cause
a greater vacancy and leave a greater
blank than all the rest of the world put
together.

A GREAT SALT TRUST /.

M4NTsTEE MICH Jan. 81 The meet
ing of the Michigan salt association at
East Saginaw has been conducted behind
closed doors and with great secrecy. The
fact is the salt men are engaged in form
ing a stupeudous salt trust, which is to
include all the salt makers of the world.
They do not want, however, TO call it.
trust, as such organizations are getting
odious in the sight Of the people of this
country. The international salt trust
will call itself a stock company, but the
effect of its operations Will be the same
as if it called itself a trust. The
object, of course, viii be to hold
up the price of salt, and thus put
more money into the hands of the salt
makers. What progress the eproposed
organization has made is not known 1t
is said that W. r. Burt, the president Of
the Michigan salt association, favors it,
and that many other Michigan salt men
think favorably of it. The arrangement
is to keep English salt off the American
market entirely, and the English salt
makers will be compensated for this by
the dividends on their stock in the gen
eral concern The New York salt men
are anxious to ''combine, - because the
cost of fuel has handicapped them in
their competition with the Michigan saw
mill salt works in the West. The fact
that English salt is brought over freight
free as ballast has been an active source
of loss to them in the markets on the
eabOard

The packing of sweet corn in tins has
become the most prominent feature of the
canned goods trade. From the annual
statement of the American Grocer 1t APP
pears that the total pack in 1888 was
3 ,4eI IA cases. of two dozen tins each, an
increase over the pack of 1887 of ,160, :
$50 cases. This large gain is due to the
multiplication Of canning houses in the
leading corn growing states, Illinois, IN
diana and Iowa alone putting
up about ] 600 900 eases, or
nearly one-third OF the supply.
Maryland and Virginia produced l ,037 >
$50 cases, the state of New York 563,
4GS eases, Maine 496 200 cases, which was
pa $50 cases less than were packed in
1887, the shrinkage being due TO killing
frosts early in September
The total foreign trade of Canada in
the fiscal year 1888 was valued at S201 =
097 200, against SOP ,40S 500 in 1887
The decline noted was due to the smaller
import trade in 1888, which was less by
about two million dollars than in 1887
The exports, on the, other hand, showed
an increase of nearly seven han
bred thousand dollars over 1887. The
total imports of 1883 were valued at
SlI0, S94 $50 and the exports at $50 ,203,
600. The increase in the export trade
was general in every line but that of ag-
ricultural products, which feIs off nearly
three hundred thousand dollars. Details
of the. import trade are not yet available,
but large increase is noted in the I'M
ports of free-of- duty goods, which are
nearly all raw materials for manufacture.
In its annual review of general trade
during 1888, the London Economist says
that a large expansion in volume has
been accompanied by slight advance i'll
prices. Apart from the remarkable fail
in tin, prices are now almost exactly on
q level with those of January l, 1885,
when they were the highest since 1888
The expansion Of trade is relatively free
from speculative influences. and justifes
the belief that more rapid progress will
be made, with gradual advance in quo
tations. The Economist does not expect
boom, but comedies in the belief
that the new year promises well CONNER
cially. 9fe
