Tho reciprocity agreements with
the countries in the above group went
into effect at various dates IN the year
1892, except that with San Domingo,
which took effect September l, 1891.
The last had little effect on the figures
for 1892. Oar imports increased in II
marked degree from 1883 to 1891.
The increase during the three years
was over 3G per cent In the year in
which the reciprocity agreements were
made there was decided decrease i'll
our exports, and further decrease
tde next year, followed by gain in
1894, which was still good deal oe-
low 1891, however. in 1895 there was
slight falling off in our exports, but
they were still considerably greater
than in 1898. Our imports from the
countries named reached their highest
figure in 1891 since then they rapidly
declined.
"With Brazil the United States
made the earliest of the reciprocity
gleements. From that country we
buy immense quantities of coffee. Our
exports o Brazil, however, are rela.
lively very small. 1t was claimed that
under the reciprocal agreement we
should pay for all of our coffee by the
exports OF our own products. Prior
to reciprocity, which took effect April
1, 1891, our exports to Brazil increased
at the rate OF 81, 600. 900 a year. Dur
ing 1892, the first year after the recip-
rocal agreement, there was very
insignificant increase.
During the next two years there
was decline in our exports to Brazil.
But our exports to Brazil in 1895, a
part of which were made subsequent
to the abrogation of the reciprocity
agreement, were larger than IN aay
previous year. Estimating the ex
ports from the United States to Brazil
Tor 1895 on tue basis of the export:
for the first half of that year and the
exports for 1886 on the same bNsi.

A Great BIRD Rnnl

The Nile Valley is the great bird
road running north and south. The
heron fishes in every shallow. The
ibis haunts the banks. The pelicans
stand in rows at the time of the inun-
dation. Eagles, kites and ospreys are
common. On every sand bank black
or black and white vultures hop about
and flap their outspread, draggled
wings. A kingfsher, more common
and more soberly clad than ours, per-
forms wonderful feats of diving within
few PAGES of the onlooker. The
little sand snipe and the true sn1pe
prevail, and quail visit the country in
immense numbers in the spring. Owls
haunt the palm trees and ruins, and
pigeons, (which are reared in every
village for the sake of the manure,
are probably more numerous than in
any other country in the world. 1t is
delightful to note the tameness of tie
birds in Egypt. They enter rooms
and houses Through windows or crew
ices left for ventilation, and once in
side hop fearlessly about the floor,
picking up stray crumbs.

1t Is circumstance worthy of more
than passing note, thinks the New
York Tribune, that at recent con.
vention of teachers and educators in
Buffalo an address on the subject of
"Good Roads" was given by General
Roy Stone, head of the Government
department of road inquiry. General
Stone is a recognized authority on
this subject, and what he said was
practical and timely. On reading the
announcement of such an address the
first question that will arise in manv
minds is, "What have the public
schools of this country to do with good
roads" A little reflection will serve
to show that the answer to the oues-
tion should be, GA great deal" The
most important step to be taken in
the attainment of good roads in this
country is the education of the people
to their value and economic necessity,
and it is plain that in this matter much
can be done by those who have in
their charge the training of the young.
General Stone called upon the educa-
tors of the country to "preach the
gospel of good roads," and further to
teach a little roadbuilding in all the
schools. 1t is practical concern of
everyday life, as he we'll remarked,
and should interest parents as well as
children, women as we'll as men.
You will need no textbooks" he said,
'for no highclass technical knowl.
edge is necessary to teach the rudi-
ments of road construction aud re.
pair" Another practical sug gestion
was that the teachers could do much
actually to improve the roads of the
country. General Stones belief is
that the great need of our country
roads is daily care, for in the absence
of care every defect grows by geomet.
rical progression. His estimate is
that $40, 900, 900 is spent every year
on road repairs, and yet the roads are
made no better. So he recommends
that road leagues be organized among
the older schoolboys, that the few nee
essary tools be supplied by the town
ship authorities, and that the boys lie
set at work as road repairers. The
educational effect of this policy would
undoubtedly be excellent; but the
first thing te be done is to get good
roads to be kept in repair. Boys can
not build roads that are smooth
and permanent, though in many
regions it would be possible to train
them for the work proposed by Gen
eral Stone.

game was to bring some IN. O'Neil,
the green one, said he was willing to
abide by the orders, and would start
out that evening. He caught up his
rifle and made for q small herd of
mountain buffalo, in full view of all,
few hundred yards from where they
stood watching him. After O'Neil
had gone, and was beyond their vision
on account of low "divide" which
he had crossed, they heard the dis
charge of his rifle in the distance, and
in a few moments that gentleman
came running into camp, bareheaded.

close after him. Both were going at
their level best, O'Neil shouting like
madman.
"Here we come, be iabers. Stop us,
for the love of heaven!"
Just as they came in among the
tents, the bull not more than six feet
behind the Irishman, who was fright
ened out of his wits, and blowing like
locomotive, his toe caught in o rope,
and over he went into puddle of
water, and in his fall turned over sew
eral kettles, one of which contained
the supper for the whole outfit. But
the buffalo did not get off so easily,
for Shawnee Jake" and Carson
snatched their guns and tumbled the
animal over before he had done any
| further mischief.
The Irishman was heartily laughed
at after he got out of the water, for n
lot OF mountain men will show no
mercy to one of their number with q
misfortune of this character. O'Neil
stood there with wet clothes and face
covered with mud, but his mother wit
came to him at once. He said: "Be
laDers. yez may laugh, but yez can't
say didn't carry out me orders. For
sure, haven't fetched the mate into
camp, and there was no bargain
whether it be dead or alive at ALP"

mands the Only True Trade Reg
ulator - LabCr's Opportunities
Greatly Improved by Wilson Bill.
The United States Treasury Depart
ment recently prepared II statement
showing the importations and expor.
tations of this country with all foreign
countries with which it had entered in
to reciprocity agreements during n
period of seven years, commencing
with 1888 and ending with 1895, and
1t does not require a person we'll
versed in mathematics to tell where
reciprocity commenced and where it
stopped. These figures are authentic,
taken, as they have been, from the
monthly statements of the Treasury
Department, and are the first statistics
which have ever been compiled au.
thentically on the subject. With
these figures before him Secretary
Morton spoke as follows on the ques
tlon OF reciprocity:
''The reciprocity agreements au-
thorized by the tariff act of 1890 de-
monstrate in their operation the fall
lacy of reciprocal agreements. In dis
cussing this question it is necessary
to remember that the events Of to-day
are not necessarily the results of leg.
islation of yesterday. Therefore, an
extension of trade during the exist
ence OF reciprocal agreements may
have been merely the continuation of
an important trade that had been in
progress for years before the recipro-
cal agreements were instituted. it is
lair also to say that 3 sudden falling
off in trade after reciprocity agree
ments lapsed may have beer due to
obvious conditions that would have
diminished trade had reciprocity con-
tinued. But the truth is that in
nearly every case there was neither
any considerable increase or decrease
Of trade while the reciprocal agree
ments were in force, nor Immediately
after they had lapsed.
Except In the single case of Cuba
no one could conclude IRON looking at
export and import statistics when re.
ciprocity began and when it ended.
1.-The entire commerce OF the United
States with the Central American coun-
tries, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua
and Salvador, and with San Domingo,

Guiana, with all Of which countries we
entered into reciprocal agreements, is

have been consolidated. For these
colonies and petty sovereignties the
statistics are as follows:

The value of the goods produced or
Work done byl convicts in the State
prisons of the United States has fallen
off more than $5,OOO,o0O in the ten
years from 1885 to 1895. At the same
time the number of prisoners has in
creased from 41,S77 to 1924. Com
bining these figures 1t appears that
the productive valuo of the prisoners
has fallen off almost forty per cent.
This enormous diminution is almost
wholly due to the passage of laws re-
stricting convict labor or the sale of
convict-made goods. These facts ap-
pear IN a new bulletin of the labor
bureau.

Pathetic Story of a Lawyer.

A fortnight ago letter reached
friend OF mine in tho handwriting of
an old college friend, telling a pitiful
story of IL stranded life. The writer
had been called to the bar, hoping
some day to land on the judicial
bench, even if he did not reach the
woolsack. He had no influence and
very little money.
No business came his way. But he
held on through long years, patiently
hoping that some day his chance would
come. Now he was sick, probably
unto death, and had no money to
buy food or medicine. A remittance
was promptly sent and gratefully
acknowledged. At the end OF fort
night IL occurred to the @. Q. and
NJ. p. to call on the sick man and see
what more he might do to help him.
Arrived at the address he gave his
name and his errand to the ladylike
woman who opened the door, whereat,
bursting into u passion of tears, she
told HIM he was too late. Her hus-
band had died that morning. The
two walked upstairs to small front
room. On the bed lay the body of
man of about forty years of age, fully
dressed in the gown and wig of bar
rister. In his right hand he held a
bundle of foolscap.
"What is that?" the old friend
whispered.
"That," said the widow, sis the
only brief he received in the course of
nineteen years waiting. He asked
me to dress him thus and put it in his
hand when he was dead. The
