for the past year or so he was afflicted
with weakness, trembling. heart fall

ache: that he consulted with Physi'

persuaded by a friend to try sample
bottle of DR.. Wheeler's Nerve Vitali-

1t is well for Free-Traders TO con-
template the effect of their legisla
tive work occasionally and study its
lessons.
The free wool schedule Of the
Wilson bill went into effect on Au-
gust rs, 1894, and from that time to
the end of the year, embracing four
months and the three days of August
the importations of foreign wool,
duty free, amounted TO 75,lS2,033
pounds. For the corresponding
period in 1898, under the Mckinley
law, the importations of wool
amounted to 13,960,49S pounds,
making a difference against our
wool grower of ,535 pounds
We estimate the receipts for the last
three days in August, 1898, at $780,
600 pounds.
The leveling of prices under the
influence OF this enormous increase
in the foreign supply is but one OF
the serious aspects Of the situation
which will tend TO destroy the Amer
lean production, the main factor
working in that direction being the
loss of the home market through III
occupancy by the foreign article.
If our growers are willing to meet
the prices of foreign wool there viii
vet be a sufficient diminution in the
quantity to be taken from the Amer
lean grower to seriously reduce hi
production.

THE WALRUS ON LAND.
He Is Just as Helpless as Canalboat
Would BE.

Would BE.
AS might be expected, a walrus Is
about as helpless on land as canalboat.
1t is with no little difficulty and much
hitching and floundering that he drags
his huge bulk upon sandy shore even
with the boosting he gets from behind
by the breakers as they roll in and dash
against him. His hind fippers are of
little use on land, and on sand or peb-
bles, where his front flippers do not
hold well, the labor of floundering for
ward is so great that he never stirs be-
yond the edge of the water and usual
ly lies with his body half awash, with
the salt spray dashing over him like
torrents Of rain. On solid rock or leo he
gets along much better, and often a
herd will spread several rods back from
the waters edge.
The females and younger walruses
have far less development Of neck to
cucumber them and therefore enjoy
more freedom of motion than the old
males, who actually seem great bur-
den to themselves. These creatures are
strictly social in their habits and always
90 in herds, whether travelling, feeding,
fighting or resting ashore In the days
before the slaughter Of all living crea'
lures became a ruling passion in the
breast Of man the Pacific species in
habited the whole Of Boring sea and
straits in herds which often contained
thousands and even tens of thousands OF
individuals. st Nicholas.
