Nearly every large city Of the United
States now has from one to q dozen
establishments where ice is manufac-
tuled. All of them are said to be doing
. profitable business, and the annual
output is estimated at 6, 200, 900 tons.

THEY DESIRE RECIPROCITY.
Dur saec<ssful Reciprocity Nsgetisttoss
Have stirred Up British Jealousy.

Dur Successful Reciprocity Negotiations
Have stirred Up British Jealousy.
The wonderful success OF the reel
procity policy Of the United States has
not failed 10 invite the jealousy Of Great
Britain. II must DO admitted, TOO. that
for that jealousy there is ample reason.
The control Of their own market already
threatened by the very nations OF whose
manufacturing interest England wished
TO be master, British manufacturers now
find themselves deprived Of the fewnen-
trail markets remaining open to them by
this policy. participation IN the benefits
Of which their free trade system has
rendered impossible. The prevailing
sentiment in England on the reciprocity
question Is well shown by comments
like this ons from the Liverpool Mer-
curry:
For months the foreign Office has
been endeavoring with al its force and
diplomatic skill to obtain the renewal
on better terms Of the expiring CONNER
cial treaties. Result-niL Failure all
around. Nobody will have anything TO
saw TO Us, because we have nothing to
offer them. The motto do ut des pre-
walls in all the commercial departments

have no duties to take of. Wecan mako
none Of our markets freer to the for
eigner than they are. For our benefit
aud not for theirs we have invited them
to sell whatever we wished to buy with.
out let or hindrance. They, therefore,
bitten by what Lord Salisbury himself
admits to be fallacy. blankly decline
to make any concession"
Besides the picture which it gives OF
the rage felt by Englishmen because Of
their folly in stripping themselves OF the
weapons necessary for success in COM
mercial warfare, there Ia another state
ment in this paragraph which is worthy
Of remark. 1t is the confession that it
was:
"For our England's) benefit, not for
theirs, that we have invited them to sell
whatever We wished to buy, without let
or hindrance."
When England adopted FREQ trade, in
l646, she did It not TOR any sentimental
reasons Of reducing commerce to a beau
tiful love feast between the nations. 1t
was done for hard business reasons.
British manufacturers. after hundreds
ofyears of rigorous protection, felt them
selves able to do the manufacturing OF
the world; all they wanted was open
markets, and those open markets were
to be secured by the adoption Of free
trade by other countries. Now that her
example has not been followed and that
free trade has been repudiated by all
nations. England commences to squirm,
for she sees her own supremacy waning.
Protection reinforced by reciprocity Is
the recognized commercial policy Of the
day. The American Cobdenite Is hope
lessly in the minority.

Specialists Apt to Be One Sided.

Experto crede is sound advice. and nine
ty-something times out of a hundred we
take it and do well. The other odd times
either we take it and don't do well, or we
take it with misgivings, or we don't take
it at all. The world experience has taught
that in certain kinds of cases the wisdom
that has finally justified itself has been the
wisdom of the unlearned. The babes and
sucklings of knowledge have hit upon the
truth that the doctors have not been able
to see. And so ordinarily sagacious people
come to make instructive allowance for the
prejudices of learning, as they do for what
the unlearned don't know. A valuable
pocket of knowledge on some particular
line of investigation is often acquired, like
ambergris in whales, at the cost of con.
siderable degeneration of the rest of the
creature.
Even so great a man as Darwin had to
give up such intellectual valuables as his
taste for music and his interest in religion
in exchange for what he learned about
deep sea fishes and the habits of earth
worms. Medical specialists especially
come in for degree of chastened mistrust,
and are in danger of being regarded as in
tellectual cripples whose minds, from too
incessant application to one class of phe-
nomena, get a list, as the mariners say, in
that direction.

This is really not difficult to manage if the
affair is systematized, and when properly

come especially for aerating water as wei
as filtering it, and if servants are accus

satisfaction of knowing thas water pre-
