A BRITISH VIEW

OhAmerlcan Tin Plate InduItry-PAclhc
Coast the Only Section OF the Country
Where the British Product Can Come
Into Competition.
WASHINGTON Sept. 2S.-Mr. Hugh
]. oBlerne. second secretary of the Brit
fish embassy here, has made special re-
port to the British foreign Office on the
American tin plate industry, and 1t has
been Issued from the foreign office as an
official document According to the re-
port the United States tin plate In
dustry dates practically from the pas
! cage OF the Mckinley tariff act at which
time the American market was wholly
supplied by South Wales. Mr.. o'Beirne
traces the gradual expansion OF the In
dustry In this country, and the use of the
domestic article In place of that formerly
imported from Wales. Summing up the
situation for the last calendar year, he
says:
1.-THE position of the British export
trade may thus be summed up: THE
interior market was, as n whole. lost TO
British exporters, but the meat packers
continued to use a certain number of
'draw-ba plates and there was still n
limited consumption OF British plates for
certain special purposes.
1.-THE Atlantic coast stlll offered very
large market for back plates, and a
much reduced one for plates not intended
tO be re-exported and the gulf coast took
moderate number OF Welch plates for
local consumption.
THE only section of the market that
was still wholly supplied by South Wales
was the Pacific coast Taking the Pa
cihc coast import at A,00O0OO pounds,
that OF the gulf coast at 100000 pounds
and that OF drawback plates at $50 OO0,
000 pounds. there remains an import of
6O.00O,O00 pounds OF last year for con-
sumption In the United States which
must be distributed between the Atlantic
coast and the interior points"
According TO Mr. O'Beirne's calcula-
tons, It Is estimated that British plates
can be landed approximately:
At points on Atlantic coast for 50 IS, or
2S cents Us 2d) above price of American
plates there
AT Pacific ports for 50 81, or 23Is cents
0id) below price of American plates
there.
Al Chicago for 81 SO, of over 30 cents
lis 3d) above price Of IndlanA-made tin
plates there.
al New orleans for 80 81, or 16 cents
(Sd) above price of Indiana plates there.
"Under existing rates OF duty, there
fore" the report proceeds, and at the
present prices the only section Of the
American market in which British plates
0i ordinary grades Exclusive Of draw
back plates) can continue IN the long
run to compete Is the Pacific coast mar
kct, representing an annual consumption
OF about 900 pounds. In other por-
lions OF the United States, the only In
portation that can be expected is Of a
limited number OF special brands suited
for special purposes. And this limited
importation can only last 80 long as the
demand ID not OF sufficient Importance to
induce native manufacturers to make
the necessary arrangements for produce
Ing the special qualities Ut tin plate,
which they are undoubtedly able to do"
Mr.. O'Blerne points out that the Amer
lean tin industry Is wholly dependent

ton, az no tin has been produced for The

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause OF sisepIessneH That Can be
Readily Overcome.


Mr.. william Handschu, Of seth St.,
Cotton Alley, Pittsburgh, Pa, expresses
himself as follows regarding the new
remedy for that common and obstinate
disease, piles: II take pleasure In
stating that | was so afflicted with
plies that for three months l got no
regular sleep;I became completely pros
trated the doctors did me no good; my
brother told me OF the new remedy for
piles, the Pyramid Pile Cure; pur-
chased from my druggist three fifty
cent bottles and they completely cured
me. am once more at my work and but
for this excellent medicine | should be
on my back. | take great pleasure In
writing this letter because so many
people are sufferers from this trouble
who like myself did not know where to
look Tor permanent reliable. safe
cure.
Experience with the Pyramid Pile
Cure In the past three years has dem
onstrated to the medical profession, as
well as to thousands OF sufferers from
piles, that 1t Is the safest and most ef-
fectual cure ever offered to the public,
containing no oplates or poisOns of any
kind, painless and convenient to han
die and being sold by druggists at 50
cents and 81 per box, Il within the
reach OF every sufferer.
Very frequently two or three boxes
have made complete cure OF chronic
cases that had not yielded to other
remedies for years.
There Is scarcely a disease more az.
gravatlng and obstinate to cure than
the various forms OF piles and 1t is a
common practice to use Olntments,
salves and similar preparations con-
tanning dangerous polsons to remove the
trouble The Pyramid has superseded
all Of these Intellectual remedies and no
one suffering with any rectal trouble
make any mistake IN giving the Pyra-
mid a trial,
II in doubt MS to the nature OF your
trouble, send to the Pyramid Drug Co,
Albion Mich, for q valuable little book
on piles, describing all forms of the
disease and describing the method OF
cure.
Any druggist can furnish tho Pyramid

Frozen Mutton.

The reason why Argentine mutton
generally is of inferior price to that of
New Zealand has threefold explana-
ton. In the first place, New Zealand
possesses today mutton producing
breed superior to that grown in the
Plate. In the second, the New Zea-
lander feeds his stock during the winter
time with extra forage, while in the
Argentine tine sheep are allowed to
Craze upon the same bare pampas during
the dead season. The result of this is
that the New Zealander produces an
even, well grown carcass, while there
issent home from the Plate one upon
which hasty covering Of fat has been
put during the spring months Of the
year The difference between the two
carcasses will readily be noted by any
one who pays visit to the cattle mar
ket. Thirdly, the freezer in New Zea-
land freezes the mutton on account OF
the breeder. and in the Argentine the
freezer buys from the breeder. The dis
advantage of the latter system, so long
as the breeder has no knowledge Of the
requirements of the market, is appar-
ent. The New Zealand breeder selects
his wethers with care, rejecting any
which will give an inferior weight or
which is insufficiently fattened for the
butcher. He RENTS them in small
droves to the freezing establishments
and takes every care that they shall ar
rive in perfect order. The Argentine
hreeder nm tho other hand makes n
contract with the representative of the
freezer to sell given number, and the
latter binds himself to remove them
within q certain date. - New York

Porcupine Doesn't Throw His Quilts.

The spines are very loosely attached
to the porcupine, and they are very
sharp-as sharp as a needle at the outer
end. At almost the slightest touch they
penetrate the nose Of dog or the cloth
ing or flesh of a person touching the
porcupine and stick there, coming away
from the animal without any pull being
required. The facility in catching hold
with one end and letting go with the
other has sometimes caused people to
think that the spines had been thrown
at them. The outer end OF the spines,
for some distance down, is covered with
email barbs. These barbs cause spine
once imbedded In living animal to
keep working farther in with every
movement Of the muscles, 30 that it is
not pleasant thing to get stuck full OF
them.-Portland Oregonian.

CANINE FRIEND IN NEED.
How the Greyhound Rescued the Little
Spaniel.

How the Greyhound Rescued the Little
spaniel.
"Talk about the sagacity Of dogs"
remarked Jenkins as he scornfully sur
veyed the records of the good deeds
done by CANNES in general why, l
saw something one day which beats the
world-something which, in addition
TO proving the reasoning power OF dogs,
showed also that some of them at least
possess a great capacity for affection for
their own kind. A friend of mine up
town owns several dogs, among the lot
being magnificent greyhound and q
diminutive spaniel, the two dogs, not
withstanding the disparity in size, be-
ing warm friends. One summer day the
dog catcher wagon was making the
rounds and, as usual, was missing the
ours while corralling the animals which
are we'll taken care of. 1t happened that
my friend 8 front gate had been left open,
and the two dogs mentioned escaped
into the street just as the wagon turned
the corner. There was a great cry on
the part of the catchers, who grasped
their nets and made scramble for the
little spaniel, not seeming to like the
idea of tackling the big hound. The
poor little spaniel realized her danger
and attempted to escape. She flew like
one possessed in every direction, only to
be headed off by the men with the nets
and a score Of small boys She finally
halted, painting, in the middle of the
street. and one of the men approached
her with his net. 1t seemed that the lit
tie things doom was sealed.
Suddenly there was a fierce bark,
and the big greyhound came leaping into
the crowd, scattering the small boys
and compelling the catchers to take to
the wagon. The hound reached the side
of the spaniel and, taking in the situa-
tion, reached down, grasped his wee
companion in his capacious mouth and
was off down the street like shot. He
didn't stop for the gate, but with a
great, graceful leap, was over the fence.
and then, gently depositing the spaniel
on the ground, stood wagging his tail,
as if knowing that he had discounted
their enemies, while the spaniel gam
boiled and made the welkin ring with
her shrill banks. If that wasn't a great
thing, / don't know. New Orleans
