In view of the strained relations be-
tween this country and Spain 1t be-
comes Of interest to consider the trade
relations of the United States with both
Spain and Cuba. The trade with the
latter country is Of infinitely more Inn
Iportance than that with the mother
country. Last year we imported from
Spain goods to the value Of $3,S26, $50,
and We exported to that country goods
to the value Of SO, 1864 This gives a
total of little over $4,000 900. The
trade for the year 1894 was $4,000, 900
In excess Of this. From Cuba last year
we imported little over S51 900, 900
worth Of goods and exported to that
island goods valued in excess Of So, 400
900. This gives total trade of over
SCI 100000, or four times that with
Spain. This was $32, 0OO, 900 less than
the year 1894, The decrease was due
very largely to the increased duties on
American goods carried into Cuba, and
also to the present disturbance in that
island, the latter being evidently the
.predominating cause.

After so many years Of discussion, 1t
Is surprising to see how many people
still misunderstood the true Issue be-
tween the makers Of oleomargarlne
and the makers Of butter. We have
seen men stand up in large meetings
and assert that oleomargarine was
good product. a cheap product. a
blessing to the poor of our great cities
and, hence, should not be suppressed.
The leaders of the meeting usually ex-
plain that the contest is not for the
suppression Of the manufacture Of oleo-
margarine, but to take away from 1t the
element of fraud. The only reason for
cOloring it like butter is that 1t may
be sold as butter. 0leo is naturally
pearl-cOlored-oleo (oiD; margarine
(pearly)-pearl-colored oil. Let it have
its natural color, and then II any one
wants to buy it, let them do so. The
real issue then is, to place such re-
strictions on it that it will be impos-
slble for it to be sold except for what
it Is.

Origin of wIndfaIL

The origin of the expression wind
fall" which is used when one wishes
to refer to a streak of good luck, dates
back to the time of William the Con-
aueror. At that time it was criminal
ofrense to cut timber in the British for
ests without royal consent. All that
could be gathered for fuel or other pur-
poses was such limbs as the wind
should happen to break and cast to the
ground. On this account the peasants
hailed a windstorm as blessing, be-
cause it was apt to cast enough OF
"windfalls" for winter firewood. From
this old-tlme forestry custom comes the
modern application of the expression.
