Reciprocity Scores for America Agains,
the World.

VAC " V4AOs
The British Trade Journal, Of July l. u,ters a
most plaintive aud distressing wall over the
evil effects Of our reciprocity policy On British
commerce. Itsays:
British merchants and manufacturers are
asking themselves whether something could
not have been done to prevent the conclusion
OF tho Spanish West Indian treaty between
Spain and the United States in Its present dii-
fertential form. It Is one result of tho failure
Of British negotiations at Madrid for q renewal
OF tho treaty with Spain. which expired yestsr-
day. To-day, therefore, July l, tho new and
enormously increased duties come into force
In the peninsula, and tho United States step
into the Cuban and Porto Rico market. while
British goods are shut out"
This Is tho same reciprocity policy, lot It
not DO forgotten, of which tho FREQ Trade
party, always in tho van when 1t comes to
|sneering at American progress or belittline
American policies, dismisses all consideration
in ito platform. after contemporary rsfer-
ring to it % ''humbug." It is also tho same
reciprocity OF which the World, leading FREQ
Trade organ, says that it is a scheme to ''un-
tax foreigners only" Untax foreigners only7
Ono would indeed scarcely think SO from the
above editorial. But it Is true We had forgot.
ten that tho un.American World, whose pro.
priotor directs ito policy from his splendid
home in London, probably refers to Americans
az foreigners, and his definition Of reciprocity
as scheme to ''untax foreigners only''
should. therefore, be accepted e a com pli-
mont rather than reproa h. There cannot
be any doubt, however, that John Bull thinks
reciprocity "humbug." As usual. he is
heart and soul at once with the Democratic
party.

has fallen from 5000. 900 in 1847 to ST., ooo-

Besides the foregoing it should be stated,
further, that the production OF American sheet
lion or steel. made into articles and wares,
timed or terne-coated during tho year, as
shown by the sworn statements Of manu.

between the lighter and the heavier class OF

lighter than 6 pounds per 100 square feet, or
an excess OF ,O00. 900 pounds over the required
amount. These figures have reference to tin

the rapid growth OF the industry since the

In other words, Of tho production Of tin and
terne plates proper for tho year over 6 per
cent. and OF tho total production over 70 per
cent, were made from American black plates
Further inspection shows that the quarterly
increase in tho production OF black plates has
been in about the same ratio as that Of tin and
terne plates. The preparations that are going
forward for the production of black plates, by
American manufacturers, justifles the belief
that this rate of increase will be maintained.

important Typewriter Decision.

Judge Lacombe, sitting in the United
States Circuit Court here, has, on the
motion of the Remington Typewriter
Company, granted an injunction against
the agents of the Franklin. restraining
the sale of that machine on account of
infringement of Remington patents.
The decision is an important one as it
proves the control of the fundamental
patents, and may affect other makers
OF typewriters. The Remington people
have heretofore been quite passive, but
1t is stated on good authority that they
are now likely to proceed against all
other typewriter manufacturing COM
panies.
In some cases purchasers of ma
chimes which infringe Remington pat
ents may also be proceeded against for
infringement Until these cases are
definitely settled this action will deter
many people from purchasing type
writer's which are colorado limitations
OF the Remington. To save a few dol
lars man does ne. want to buy a ma
chine with a law suit attachment, cspc-
cially when the other machine is the
best. ~. Y. Journalist June IS. 1894

JULES KELLER.
Crippled Youth Who Has Become
Famous Gymnast.

Crippled Youth Who Has Become .
Famous Gymnast.
Jules Keller is the name of famous
gymnast who makes use of his arms
for the purposes most people use their
legs. With his hands he does all sorts
of difficult things-wallxs, jumps, slides.
perhaps dances and skates as well. His
hands are not calloused, but smooth,
firm and supple.
Jules Keller is about twenty-six
years old. He was born of poor parents
in Prussia. When lad ne was APP
prenticed to trapeze performer. At
that time jules had the use of good
strong pair Of legs, and used them to
advantage. When he was about twelve
years of age. he was performing in ST.
Petersburg with his master, who used
to catch him as he swung off trapeze.
One night his master failed to catch
poor Jules, who fell fifty feet, striking
upon his legs and back. They carried
him home to his mother, and everyone
thought he was going to die.
But instead of dying, Jules recovered.
He got back little of the sense of feel
ing in his legs and feet. though he
never would be able to walk upon them
again. The strength which was crushed
out of them found its way into his arms
and hands.
He lay in bed three years. Then, to
help himself, he began practicing walk
ing and moving about on his hands,
with his helpless legs balanced in the
air. He practiced until he was sure
that his body would follow unerringly
the order of his fingers.
Then he resolved to utilize his new
ability. He was able to run up and
downstairs on his hands, and also slide
down a baluster. He sought and found
public engagement to exhibit thia
'baluster feat" OF all the feats which
this young man has since learned, thiA
remains the most popular.
Perhaps he never would have thought
of doing these odd things if his cruel
misfortune had not forced him to find
some way to help himself. But the
same thing has happened to others be-
sides Jules Keller--that what seemed
at first the hardest thing in their lives
becomes the cause of their final sue
cess.-Harper's Young People.

THE BEST PLAN FOR OLD AGE.
Ii Securing n Helpful Circle OF COCO
Friends Now.

Ii securing n Helpful Circle Oh oooo
Friends Now.
When a man is planning for the com
fort of his mature and declining years
there are some things that he arranges
for as matters of course. tut
there are one or two comforts that nc
may miss by not appreciating their
value until it is too late to provide for
them. A particular luxury OF this sort,
for which timely arrangement must
be made if a man is'to have it at all, IL
a periodical meeting with the men who
were young when he was.
In order to secure this enjoyment
it is necessary, in the first place, to be
Young with a considerable number OF
persons associated in the pursuit OK
some common interest, and to form
more or less intimate relations Win
them They must be the right sort OF
people, too; people whom it is rot only
edifying to know while they are young
but who promise development which
will make fair proportion OF them
good company in their maturity. Having
formed such an acquaintance betimes'
the habit of renewing it periodically
should be started early and carefully
nursed the periods growing gradually
less until they become annual.
The simplest way TO accomplish all
this is doubtless to 60 carly in life to
good college and return yearly to its
commandments. But where that -
not been feasible, the same end is often
otherwise accomplished, as by being
veteran of the war, and meeting ones
fellow veterans annually at grand
army encampment, or by being an earn
est politician and getting sent pretty
regularly to conventions. The points
that require attention are that yor
must meet old friends who were young.
or comparatively young, in your COM
pany, and from whom you are ordinari-
ly separated. The old friends whom.
you meet every day won't do. You
talk to them when you see them about
what happened yesterday and was in
the morning paper. The sight of them
does not annihilate time for you; your
intercourse with them has been too
constantly contemporaneous for that
but the old acquaintance whom you
oaly see once year carry you back
every time to the years when you first
knew them.--Scribner.

Scotlands Plague of Mice, and Its Con.
sideratiOn at a Public Meeting.
In May last a meeting of farmers was
held in Edinburgh to consider what
means should be taken in connection
with the plague of mice, or ''voles,"
which at present extends over the
southern counties of Scotland. There
was demand for the e-introduction
of owls, to the determination of which,
as well as of other birds and animals
which prey upon mice, the plague is at
tributed.
The chairman gave an account Of an
owl, not before known in Scotland,
which had been introduced, and which
was said to BE- very fatal to mice; and
he made plea for the preservation of
the owls which already exist.
What may be the result of destroying
natures equilibrium by DISCRIMINATING
owls, snakes and other useful creatures
OF God which prey upon vermin is well
illustrated by the condition of southern
Scotland, as revealed in the addresses
and reports at this Z Edinburgh meeting.
One gentleman said he had gone with
government official who had looked
into the matter in Roxburgh. Dumfries
and Kirkcudbright. They went over
hundreds of acres where not a vestige
of vegetation was to be seen. The
mice had taken everything.
Another gentleman said that ia the
high districts about Hawick every
farmer had had all his sparc hands en-
gagged in killing mice for long time.
but the mice increased so rapidly that
no impression was made upon them
The meeting passed a resolution call
Ing for government commission to in
vestigate the matter thoroughly, and
see if some remedy could not be pro-
vided. In the meantime farmers were
urged to encourage the preservation
and propagation Of all birds aaa AMI
