rustling to keep up with the pro-

rustling to keep up with US. When
you examine the matter you will

Agriculture and Manufacturing.

The London Times sticks to its old po-
sition very tenaciously. 1t says that the
new tariff bill will allow new industries
to come into being and develop them
selves, and will enable old industries to
obtain higher prices for their products,
but at the same time it will divert
American capital and labor from more
profitable to less profitable work, AID
thus tend to surrender natural advan-
tages which the country has within its
reach.
The Times still cherishes the common
English opinion that it is the destiny of
the United States to raise wheat to feed
the world, and that the Mckinley bill
will instantly convert agricultural labor
ers into mechanics and artisans, while
the wheat and corn fields will be left to
return to o state of nature. But The
Times need have no fear. 1t is true that
the people of the United States see that
to produce 1900, 900 tons of pig iron in a
year is more profitable in every way than
it would be to raise 200, 0O0, 900 bushels
of wheat, but we shall profit by the ex-
ample Of Great Britain and not sacrifice
our agricultural interests to our manu-
features, as she has done. We believe
that in the United States these twin in
dustries can grow and flourish side by
side, and to give them IN opportunity 30
to do is the scope and purpose of the
Protective policy. -San Francisco Chron-
icle.

Raising Young Cod.

BY a not very costly expansion of
the work of the fish commission the
schools of cod on the shores of New
England could undoubtedly be multi
piled in numbers by ten. The only
limit to such multiplication is the
amount of food available in the sea
for the fish, and there is plenty of that
and to spare. Each female cod lays
hundreds of thousands of eggs at a
spawn, but, owing to natural causes,
nearly all of them are lost. They float
on the surface of the water and furnish
food for every fish that swims.
Depending as they do for being rem
dered fertile upon accidental contact
with the floating milt of the male, most
of them remain unimpregnated and
every breaker cast upon the rocky
beaches by northeast storm destroys
them by myriads. But by the artifi-
cial method, the eggs and milt being
stirred together in pan of water, near
ly all are Matched and the little fishes
are taken care of until they can look
out fairly well for their own preserva-
ton. Star.

A PerseyerinC Hen.

have seen one or two good hen sto-
ries, but think this one beats them.
One day it happened that not far from
my house board was resting on two
barrels which were about ten feet apart,
and somebody had laid an old, discard
ed straw hat on the board, the crown
lying on the board. An old hen, which
was great pet with the family, saw
this arrangement and evidently decided
that the old hat was just the thing for
a nest. So she carefully hoped into
it and laid an egg.
We decided to humor her within, and
therefore fastened the hat to the board
She continued to lay in this queer nest
for some time But one day the hat
became unfastened in some way and
blew off the board. When Biddy saw
this she began to sing disconsolately
and we thought she would give up the
hat and seek another nest. But we
were mistaken. In a little while she
seized the hat in her bill and flew with
it on the board, where, after great
deal of fussing, she adjusted it so that
she could lay in it. After that we fast
ened it so that it could not blow Off

Some Free-Trade Prices In Now souI
Wales.


Some Froe-Trade Prices In Now South
Wales.
A report by Consul Griffin from Syd-
ney, New South Wales, contains sig
nificant paragraph in its bearing upon
the question of the influence of Protec
ton upon prices. He is discussing the
feasibility of project to utilize the col
onys rich deposits of iron. The under
taking is acknowledged to be hazard
GUS one under the Free-trade policy in
force there, but it is hoped that the nat
ural advantages are so extraordinary as
to overcome the difference of labor cost
in favor of foreign iron. Mr.. Griffin
says:
"There are, however, many here who
contend that, leaving the labor question
out altogether, it will be impossible to
manufacture iron and steel without the
assistance of an important tax, which, it
is said, should not be less than 1918 per
ton. Through the help of the duty on
wire netting ($7.30 a ton), the colony is
enabled to manufacture no inconsistent
BILE portion of the wire used here for fen
cling. 1t is also claimed that if this duty
were removed the price of netting would
be at least 25 to 30 per cent. higher than
it is. The fact is often cited that, when
bar iron is only worth 1888 per ton in
London, it cannot be purchased in Sgd
ney for less than $63. 1t is contended
that the freight charges are light, and
that there is no just reason why the arti-
Gle should command such high price in
a free port. Plates are quoted in London
at $38.SS per ton; the quotation here is
from $65.A to $68, and it is said that
these prices would not be exceeded If the
articles were made here"
The people OF New South Wales are
evidently getting taste of our own ex-
perience, viz, with the establishment Of
domestic industry the price of the
product invariably fell. Sometimes it
fell so low, as in the case of our former
attempts to manufacture tin plates, that
the new establishments were frozen out.
Then, when the foreigner had the field to
himself, as is now the case with bar iron
and plates in New South Wales, he put
the price up again. What the iron in.
dustry in New South Wales needs is a
tariff so high that the men engaged in il
can snap their fingers at the price jug

mo, Thanks."

An English traveller who never had
borned at home how discourteous il
the use of the phrase, mo, thanks, +"
was taught the lesson when he visited
Norway and ventured to translate that
brief and slangy substitute for mo,
thank YOU" into Norwegian. The les
son was given him by the waitress in a
restaurant at Hamer. The young
woman asked him if he would take
coffee, and he replied, 'Ikke tax, "
which is literal translation of mo,
thanks"
The young woman, writes the En-
glishman, answered in quick, strong
and unintelligible jargon. l knew that
magnates and menials intermix in Nor
way, and concluded that here was a
lineal descendant of some fierce.Viking
princess. Fearful tragedies might have
apsued had not Norseman crossed
over to my rescue, and on bowling to
each other l understood him to say to
me:
eff you please, what was it that you
said, or wanted to sayl She says you
were not asked to give her anything
and she serves here gratuitously; and
she is free and independent elector;
and you ought, at any rate, to have
thanked her for her attendance, where.
as you would not give her thank you
for her coffee"
II said like TAX want no coffee,
and l said No, thanks, did notw said
in self defense.
"Ah! you should always give Taxi"
said the interlocutor, insinuating that ]
needed instruction.
''Tell Inc, then, how you say No,
thank you,'" said 1, bewildered.
mai, taxi Mai, taxi" said he, bow
ing himself away.
