CONSUL horCHklss, of Ottawa, furnishes
the following on the trade relation of Can
ada and the United States. Canada sold TO
the United States in 1855 merchandise To
the value of 81, ,065, which is half
million more than the sales Ia England in
the same year. The imports from the
United States We're sis, ,isl SIS, $4,000, eco
greater than from Great Britain. The vol
ume of trade with Great Britain-imports
and exports-was smaller in 1883 than in
any year since confederation lin 1857,
while the Transactions with the United
States were larger than in any preceding
year, except in 1852 and 1888. One half
the exports of Canada of lumber and other
products are disposed of in the United
States, over three-fourths of the minerals,
two-thirds of the agricultural products,
nearly one-hslf of her fish, forty per cent
OF her manufactured articles, and practi-
cally all Of the miscellaneous products. No
wonder the British cannot silence the talk
of reciprocity.

The Atlanta pu shed out TO sea as the
storm was rising and keeping far away
from land of Montauk Point, she rode out
tho gale without injury. This is n feather
in her cap,as there was great anxiety about
her IN naval circles, but the record shows
that she WAS lucky In not being caught by
the storm near shore. "The wind was 50
strong and the sea So high that sometimes
for several hours not an inch of progress
would he made with six boilers going. "
So there may be doubt whether she could
steam out of n barbor In the teeth of n
Samoan hurricane. The new cruiser Balti-
more, by the way, went out TO sea on the
trial trip on Friday, though the storm was
still raging. II is pleasant to find that the
men of our navy are not mere fair weather
sailors, and in the effort to give them
swim ships and heavy guns rough weather
virtues should not be slighted.

IHE Scripps Leag ne has returned from
noisy tour Of Europe, where they have
paid particular attention To the work shops
and factories, and let the palaces, art
galleries and cathedrals severely alone
They are a body of fifty workingmen from
many trades. Courtesies were extendei
TO them 10y the large manufacturers, with
the single exception of the Krupp works
They were admitted to the Woolwch
arsenal, where they were given all the
information they desired. At Paris they
were made the special guests of the city.
The members do not seem prepared to
admit that they learned anything and are
particularly emphatic in declaring the
French far behind MS in machinery. Mr..
Cheeny, of the Washburn mills, Minneap-
oils, Mimi, in examining the exhibit in
the Paris Exposition, said he had jus.
taken out from his mills as unfit for ufe
the same kind of machinery that the
French are now exhibiting. A. Il. Ander-
sou, the representative of the tinsmiths,
said he saw workmep in Paris shaping
metal for buoy, and il required nine pro-
cesses to do what the Americans do in
three. Joseph Thorpe, representing the
engineers, said: "On the other side the
engineers are no, organized. The wages
are SO per cent. lower than in this coun-
try. They still use the open cabs in
the engines. The seats have been taken
away, because it is supposed that with
out them the men will not go To sleep"
II would be interesting 10 learn whether
this plan ofkeepng engineers awake serves
that purpose. In York kshire, England, they
found women helping their husbands AT
the forges making chains and nails Shoe
makers in France do not make twenty. five
per cent. of what an American would make
with machinery.

William Hanna, representing the iron
workers. Mr., Ogden, for the printers, said,

Did Charles Find His Dog?

From Notes and Queries.
Two advertisements appeared in MercW'ius
Publicus directly after the Restoration The
first was no doubt drawn up by the John Ellis
who is mentioned in it. The second must have
been written by the king himself: "A Smooth

loved" which came ashore with Pepys at Do

of his satires against Charles II:

MR.. MORTON's RESIDENCE.
Additions to be Made to the Bell
House-Description of the Building.

Mr.. Levi P. Morton. the vice-President-
elect, has given directions that the Bell house,
on Scott circle, be at once prepared for his
future residence. His architect has orders to
prepare plans for the enlargement of the
dining-room. This will be accomplished by
building additions at the southeast end Of the
house. The dining-room is at present large
enough to seat eighteen persons at dinner.
The proposed additions will increase very
much the size of the room. 1t will not be
necessary to make any other alterations to the
house, as it was recently put in thorough re-
pair by Mr.. Alexander Graham Bell. The
house is one of the largest and most spacious
in the city. 1t occupies one of those triangu-
lar pieces OF ground so common In this city.
and with the extensive parking on all sides it
has almost the appearance of fine suburban
residence standing in the midst of a lawn.
Alphabetically it is an imposing pile, the tow
ers and high-pointed roof being conspicuous
even in that locality of fine residences. In
front of the house is a small reservation filed
with shrubbery, and then farther on is Scott
circle. with its parterres of flowers in proper
season. The entrance is from Rhode Island
avenue, under a porte cochere. There Is
spacious entrance hall, with a grand staircase
leading to the upper stories. On the left of
the hall is the library. and on the right the
reception-room. Leading from the latter room
there is an entrance to the parlor. and far Their
along is the drawing-room and then the dining
room. all en- suite, and connected with the
central hall. The arrangement of the house
places the living rooms on the south side. The
first floor is handsomely finished in hard woods.
and the rooms are large and spacious and well
adapted for social purposes. MIR. Morton will
furnish the house after the workmen leave it.
There is brick stable in the rear Of the lot,
which is connected with the house by electric

WANTED A HOLIDAY.


William Dunn, one Of the three young men
who escaped from the workhouse Sunday
night, a. published in Mondays STAR, gave
himself up to the officers of the first precinct
last night and was again locked up. When
asked by STAR reporter why be left the prison
he replied that he only wanted few days
holiday to get something to eat. Anybody, he
said, can get away from the workhouse. While
out at work one day last week, he said, he
picked up an old knife, which he took into his
cell Sunday morning, after breakfast they
began to saw at the iron bar. They took turns
at the job, and it was nearly dark when they
succeeded in their undertaking and severed
one bar from the iron casing. Then they
waited until after dark, when they made long
rope OF their blankets and got down, one at a
time, until the three of them were safely out
of prison. They then scaled the fence and
left that part of the city.
Dunn said that he made for 'sSwampoodle'
and got change Of clothing from a young
man at the ''Sandlots," near the base bail
grounds. His companions, Thomas Hendricks
and Joseph Campbell, went toward the brick
yards with the intention of leaving the city.
He did not think they would have any trouble
getting change of clothing, for almost every
body was willing to assist him. The old men
in the cell. he said, were afraid to leave for
fear Of again being captured and punished.
Il suppose that will be punished when 1 go
back" he said, "but can stand it, for I only
have nineteen more days to serve"
What kind of punishment do you expect?"
asked the reporter
Il suppose, he answered, ''that / will be
placed in the dungeon for several days and
given piece of corn chuck and some water
every day. Then. when they think have been
sufficiently punished, they will put me in irons
and probably keep me in them until the expi-
ration of my sentence" He saws he gave him
self up because the third precinct officers were
close on his track and he did not care to give
them the satisfaction of catching him. He was
returned to the workhouse to-day,

SOMETHING OF AN APPETITE.
A Man Who Il . Terror to the Hotel

From the San Francisco Examiner.
There Is a St Louis newspaper man staying
at the Occidental, and Mr.. Hooper very much
wishes he would leave. There is nothing par
ticularly the matter with the newspaper man
that should make him an Objectionable guest,
except one thing, which gives Mr.. Hooper the
cold chills whenever he glances into the

behaved, dresses like a gentleman and pays his
bills. 1t is his appetite, however, and the
danger Of famine in consequence, that causes
the Occidental people anxiety. II think" said
MIR. McNabb, in speaking Of his well-condi-
toned boarder, ''that this St. Louis man
is the mightiest feeder that ever saw
behind q knife and fork. He has had four
meals day since he has been here, and
the other night grew quite irritable because
we had no hot supper ready after the
theater. 1 don't Know how many tape
worms this gentleman is supplying with
board and lodgings, but there must be a colony
OF them am sure. He is rather q slender
young man, with pale face and of very quiet
manners. He usually breakfasts about g. He
starts the days festivities with bowl of oat
meal. a large piece of broied salmon, porter
house steak, four or five chops, fried mush.
three poached eggs on toast. two cups of coffee
and enough bread and butter for three men.
This is a kind of appetite Whether. For lunch
at noon he takes on board bowl of pea soup,
pound or so of halibut, a veal outlet cooked
to order five links of sausage, three picked
sleeps tongues. pot of tea and a German
pancake. This keeps him going until 4 p. m,
when he attacks a dinner. This is the meal Of
the day 1t consists of soup, game, three or
four entrees, two kinds of roast, two kinds of
pudding, mince pie, cheese and black coffee.
Supper at is pretty nearly repetition of the
breakfast except in place of a porterhouse

two walters on the jump at each meal, and
when he comes out Of the dining room he looks
just as slender and ethereal as when he went

EugaciOus Scissors.
AN INSTRUMENT WHICH DISAPPEARS IN THE
MOST MYSTERIOUS MANNER.

AN INSTRUMENT WHICH DISAPPEARS IN THE
MOST MYSTERIOUS MANNER.
The apparently fugacious habits of scissors
have been noticed since the earliest historic
period. according to a writer in Golfers Once
a Week. They disappear with celebrity and Sc
crecy wholly without parallel in the history of
lost objects. woman is sewing and has pair
of scissors in her lap. She uses them say
twice, and each time drops them again in her
lap. The third time she wishes to use them
she cannot find them. Though she searches
her lap, her dress, her chair and the floor
thoroughly, she cannot find the slightest
trace Of the missing scissors, and thereafter
they are never again seen by mortal eyes. Or
let us say that woman, in the very act of us
ing pair OF scissors, is called from her work.
She places the scissors carefully in her work.
basket, goes out, locking the door of the room
after her, and returns in ten or fifteen minutes
to find her scissors gone.
What is the more remarkable about the dis
appearance of scissors is that once having dis
appeared they are never again found. You
NAV loose u tack-hammer, or a comb but
sooner or later you find the missing article be-
hind some piece OF furniture, but a pair of
scissors once lost are lost forever. There is
scarcely case on record Of the final recovery
of pair Of scissors that have been missed and
have not been found within the next five
minutes.
That there is something peculiar in the dis
appearance of scissors is virtually admitted by
women when they seek to prevent the loss of
scissors by means Of charms. For a piece OF
ribbon, which many women attach to the ham
die of their scissors Ito prevent them from
being lost" must act as charm, or otherwise
it would be valueless. How in the name OF
science and common sense, can the mere fact
that four inches of blue ribbon are tied to the
handle of a fair Of scissors keep them from
being mislaid2 In point of fact it does
of tha in anti Of
mems faith in the blue ribbon charm, it is alb.
| solutely useless. If, however, we assume that
the origin of this custom was the attaching
of bit Of witch-hazel to the handle Of .
pair Of scissors, we can understand it. The
woman of the middle ages had a vague belief
that the disappearance of scissors was due 10
the witches, and therefore called in the aid oil
witch-hazeL The modern woman, ignorant Of
the peculiar efficacy of witch-hazel. fancief
that anything tied to pair Of scissors will
keep them from being lost. and she prefers
ribbon to witch hazel because it is prettier and
more convenient.
