comes shockiusly homely at forty. A.
a rule, a man does not grow handsome
until he is thirty, and generally grows
better-looking until he is past forty-five.
This difference between the sexes is not
"a design of nature; it is purely the
work of crdel sentiment.
But there appears now to he begin
ming of an end to the nonsensical idea
that woman should not be as healthy
as man. Our society women are taking
kindly to Delsarte and instructions
upon how to live to be healthy. With
proper physical and mental culture
women will be as handsome at forty as
twenty, as the mauy notable examples
brought to light in the past few years
clearly demonstrate.
We may well expect to see in few
years a great revolution in the customs
of our women, and great reduction of
the divorces which come about purely
from men becoming weary of their
faded wives

FEMALE ATHLETIC AGE.

A female athletic age is apparently
beginning. 1t cannot be the female
athletic age, for the charm of female
weakness is an idea which has sprung
up in the last few centuries. RUTH
labored in the fields; all ancient women
OF whatever rank followed physical
pursuits quite aS extensively as the
men. The Grecian and Roman women
performed their household duties, and
were skilled in the art of weaving:
most of them made the cloth for the
family clothing, and also the garments.
Up to within about 200 years ago nearly
all the princesses of Europe were taught
to weave, cook and perform general
housework. Queen VICTORIA is quite
expert with the needle and skilled in
fancy work. 1t is said that to this day
she often amuSes herself by making
fancy articles. The women of the peas
antry of about all European countries
still work in the fields. and the women
of the classes below the nobility perform
their household duties and devote their
spare time to outdoor exercise.
Not very long after the American in
dependence the idea sprung up in this
country that it was unladylike for
woman to toll. Fifty years ago it was
thought to be beneath woman of aristo-
cratic proclivitIes to turn her hand to
anything. even to dressing herself. Men
idoliZed women for their physical weak
ness. Twenty years ago it was thought
to be improper for women to be seen
much upon the streets, and about the
only exercise they took was an occa-
sional ride with a driver. During the
greater part Of our national existence
men have encouraged women to believe
that they must affect weakness to be
attractive, and even today there is quite
tendency among men to denounce as
masculine robust women who delight III
outdoor exercises.
AS result of this diseased taste. for
it is not a natural one, the beautiful
American woman generally fades be-
fere she is thirty years old, and be-

THE ROCKS IN THE WAY.

THE kOChS IN HE w L.
1t is not to be expected that the con-
vention which soon convenes here to
discuss questions of reciprOcaFtrade be-
tween this country and Canada can have
any other effect or purpose than to pre-
pare the way for those other measures
which must have governmental sane
ton before anything can be accom-
plished. The discussions had, the in
terchange of views, the advertisement
of the fact that both peoples are desirous
of removing the obstacles standing in
the way of free exchanges, the forma-
ton of public opinion and setting it in
the direction of the end sought, will be
all that can be effected. And this is
necessary. 1t is the unavoidable pre-
lude to all reforms; the mobilization OF
the forces of public opinion preparatory
to assault Oh intrenched error.
The obstacles in the way are not in
considerable. They lie on both sides of
the frontier, but mostly on the Cana
dian side. On our side are the remains
of that bigotry of prOtectionism which
regards the frontier as the separation
from foes. and looks on trade With for
eigners as waste if 1t involve receiving
as we'll as giving. The old protectionist
sophism, that big nation cannot trade
with a smaller one to advantage: that
the smaller one gets advantages in the
proportion of the relative populations,
and that Canada, with her four or five
millions, would gain twelve times more
than we would by letting her have the
market of our sixty millions, is still
lodged i'll a good many minds from
which nothing but surgical operation
would remove it.
On the Canadian side we are con-
fronted with the difficulty that the do
miDion is dependency of Great Britain.
We can make no treaty with her; nego-
tiations would have to be made with the
British ministry. 1t is hardly to be eX-
pected that England would consent to
the establishment of free trade between
this country and Canada OIL the basis of
the extension Of our present tariffs to
Canadian imports. AS long as we re-
tain the barbaric system of getting
revenue from tariff taxes, this coun-
try cannot, of course, open the
way for foreign goods to come here
free of duty by way of Canada
If, however. our tariff be reduced
to revenue basis and the Canadians
readjust theirs to ours, free trade
with Canada could be established
without endangeriug our revenues. AS
the Canadian tariff now averages about
80 per cent, and our revenue tariff will
range nearly the same, the only diff
Guilty presented would be the possible
refusal of England to consent to a
treaty which gave this country and
Canada free trade while it raised bar
rier against her.
The convention and the consideration
of the difficulties which lie in the way
of what both peoples wish will doubt
less strengthen the growing disposition
in Canada to sever the bond which
binds her to England and the attain
ment of independence. Were Canada a
nation instead of dependency, we
would soon have the barriers to free
exchange removed.

A SOUTHERN STRANGER
Who Was Made Welcome at the
Minnesota Club.

Minnesota Club.
Loungers in the Minnesota club yes
terday were enjoying their after-lunch
cigars when strange gentleman ell
tered without the formality of an intro
-duction. and stood smiling expectantly
upon the group. He was tall and slen-
der, with very distingue air, and pair
of gold glasses perched jauntily upon
the bridge of his nose. To all outward
appearances he was Cuban, his smooth
and swarthy complexion showing be-
yond doubt that he hailed from some
semi-tropical country; but when ne re-
moved his hat and proceeded to make
himself at home, it was discovered that
his hair was fair and altogether i'll con-
trast with his almost cOpper-colored
skin. There was considerable whispered
speculation as to his identity, when sud
denly he spoke:
"Weli, boys, how's the old town?"
There was familiar cadence i'll the
easy drawi, and four voices broke out
together with:
"Bless me! George Matheny"
And George it was, but so bronZed
and weather-beaten that he was at first
unEec0RUIZdDl6. ue dliStOCIdOlC lllt VI
those nose glasses might have told at
once but for the absence of that once
fair tint of his damask cheek. Col.
Matheny has just returned from win
ter on the gulf, and is. crammed to the
muzzle with experiences by field and
flood that would drive OthellO wild with
envy. He has basked beneath the hot
kisses of the gulf sun until his complex
ion has blushed to warm banana color,
and he wants more of it. He swears by
the Southern Cross that life north of
the Tropic of Cancer is not worth the
living, and it is his ambition to return
to the sun-kissed valleys of the South,
where all nature croonS out the ever
lasting song of Pelagia.
Life is so short at best
Take while tnou cans thy rest,
Lying by me-
But the colonel is looking remarkably
we'll, and his friends are glad to well
come him home again.

ST. Paul Jobbers Successfully
Whip Wisconsin Streams.
Two well-known members of the
trade circle, Theodore G. Walther and
Mahlon p. Barry, have distributed
baskets of brook trout TO friends this
week, resultant from their recent fish
ing trip along Pine creek, near Barron,
on the 500 line, in Northern Wisconsin.
MIR. Post. hardware man of that sec
ton, accompanied the st. Paul whole
saler throughout the fishing. He would
have accompanied Mir. Barry, but fact
was, the distributor of lubricating oils,
Mr.. b., got lost in the alderS that grew
so luXurlantly along part of the stream,
and was separated from his compunionS,
minus lunch, for six hours. 70 those
who know what it is to pack long rub
Der boots throughImileS of bog such an
experience as Mr.. Barry's would be, to
say the least, very unpleasant. When,
at last. he was found, he said he felt
as though he had walked 150 miles and
hadn't had anything to eat for week.
The others had lett a good-sized shoe
box full of pie and doughnuts and other
sorts of lunch at point some three
miles back. He was tritle diffident
duOut eOluS uutll MI w dltHSi dAiCCN
to accompany him, but when the lunch
was found, right side UP, in the corner
of farm fence, he took 1.-THE lunch
under his arm and ate and ate during
two miles more of their journey. Had
their kodak been handy, his companions
would have secured some lively views
on the lunch question. Mr.. Walther
found that twenty fOot-pOle was more
effective, though harder to handle, than
his fancy jointed rod in those clear as
crystal streams where the trout are so
wary. Mr.. Barry sighted tame-look-
ing deer during his ramble, but didn't
care TO shoot it, you know. The fisher
men looked like tired-out iron miners
when the days sport was over. Their
long rubber boots, mud-begrimed clothes
and dilapidated hats made them seem
as though they had been working.
