editorials yesterday which were contra
dictory OF each other. Both could not be
true. One of them was true and based
on common sense. 1t was not the one
which the Register probably originated
itself. It was the one which our neigh
Dor based on an editorial from the
Cleveland Plalndealer, which frankly
admits that the rising tide of prosper
ity is not based alone on the crop situa-
ton.
The first editorial was entitled 1.-THE
Rising Cost Of Living" In which It Is
attempted to show none but the agrcul-
tural interest is enjoying prosperity. and
it Is profting at the cost of suffering
abroad, which is not true. There Is at
present no real famine abroad, though
there is a shortage of crops which ere
ates an additional market for the Amer
lean products.
The second editorial, which Is contra
dlctory OF the first (Which refers TO re-

n new era of prosperity has begun In the
iron and steel industries and that YER
liable boom is now being experienced.
There is nothing IN this editorial, as in
the first, condemning rising prices of
products, but all Is, by some inadvertence
on the part of the editor, in commenda-

they had to fall back on silver which

rnrll.n ana rrcnch Mother..

Two devoted mothers, one q French
woman and the other an English wom-
an. were discussing the various meth
DDS Of educating boys and eagerly COM
pairing the advantages and disadvant-
ages or the English and French sys-
TENS. respectively. A dignitary OF the
Roman church was listening to their
prattle with amusement, and at last he
burst out laughing and said: 1T seems
TO me. mesdames. that when pious
French mother wishes to send her son
away from home for education she in
onires ansiously how many times a
week he can attend mass. but when an
English mother sends her boy to school
the principal inquiry she makes is how
often during the week can her son have
a bath. and Eton is evidently consid-
cred the school par excellence, for
there the boys can have baths three
times a day II they wish. 1t is amusing

Asthma, SO 1t Is Said.

Asthma, SO 1t is Said.
Attacks Of asthma may be brought
on BY the most varied and singular
causes; different sorts of scents. the
odor OF raspberrics. as was the case of
Claude bernard; tie smell of hay, the
vapor Of a srilpaur match that has
just been lighted, the dust from oats
or powdered ipccacuanha. One pa
tent will have asthma in the North,
Int will be free from it in the South;
another will have asthma in Paris,
but will be perfectly well in Vienna;
still another will have the most ter
rible attacks as long as he is in Egypt,
but will be relieved as soon as he gets
to sea.
1t is generally admitted nowadays
that the attack of asthma is due to
spasm of the respiratory muscles, and
that the origin of the trouble is some
stimulation of the nasal mucous mem
! brane. On the other hand it is also
known that a vigorous stimulation of
the mucous membrane of the nose
may put an end to an attack of asth-
ma; therefore in this purely nervous
phenomenon the same cause may
either bring on or put an end to the
attack.
1t is on this pecnliarity that are
based certain number of methods
of treatment of an attack Of asthma,
and the latest born of these methods
consists in shifting can de cologne.
My readers may remember that /
made known to them the process
whereby NJ. Roux of Lyons cuts short
colds in the head and chest at their
beginning. 1t consists IN having the
patients inhale by the mouth and
nose for about two minutes and about
| four or five times day about fifty
drops of cologne water. 1t is now
claimed that the same method will
l put an end to an attack of asthma.

a BICYCLE BAND.
french Musicians Appear on tha Streets
Riding Wheels.


In Paris there are mcrry-go- rounds
with bicycles attached, where the
tyro can learn all the movements of
cycling without falling off. One even
ing band of forty musicians, re-
turning home from wedding dinner
for which they had furnished the mu-
sic came upon such merry-go-round
and climbed into it.
As they had all been i'm bibing freely
of the generous wines furnished at
the wedding feast, nothing seemed to
them more natural than to improyise
serenade as they whirled round and
round.
The cornet went home with terri
BILE headache, and the bassoon dream
ed that he was being sucked down
into the maelstrom. But few days
afterward the leader convened the
musicians and informed them that he
intended to found the bicycle band. y
The result was that in few weeks
the Fanfare-Cycle, forty players on
wind and string instruments, mount
ed on bikes of artistic mechanism,
began to appear on the streets of
Paris and to spin merrilY along the
wide boulevards to the inspiring
notes of the overture to civilian
Telp' or the martial melodies of the
French military muse.
At first they confined themselves to
the exterior boulevards, fearing the
comments of the great throngs which
gathered on the central avenues o.
Paris. But gradually they became
holder. and now one often sees the m,
formed by fours, majestically skim
ming the noiseless payements from
the Madeleine to the Bastille.

HlNpRANcE TO our TRADE.
We Need Better Facilities for Carrying
Our Goods to Toreign Markets..


Our Goods TO Foreign MARKETS.
We need better facilities for carrying
oar goods to foreign markets. Gays tho
North American Review. The United
States Is practically of no account in
the ocean-earrying trade and in many
OF the large ports Of the world the
American flag is almost unseen and I'M
known as an emblem of commerce.
In fifty years our foreign commerce
has increased from 1927 ,439,713 to ST.
662 ,316,962, but the total tonnage OF
our merchant marine engaged in for
eign trade has decreased from Loaf
454 tons TO 822,247 in the same time.
With nearly eight times the foreign
commerce we had half century ago,
we now have only four-fifths of the,
ocean-carrying tonnage we then had,
More than two-thirds Of our imports
and exports formerly were carried in|
American vessels, while now but little,
more than tenth of this trade is bornel
in our ships. Not only do the profits
earned in transporting millions Of doll
lars worth of merchandise to and from
our ports pass chiefly into the hands
OF foreign vessel-owners but the yes-
sells themselves are built in foreign
yards. giving employment to thousands
of men in an industry which ought to
| be planted in our country. As in our
ocean commerce, so also in our finan-
cial relations with other countries we
are dependent largely upon the SER
vices rendered by foreign interests.
Particularly in our dealings with the
nations to the south of us we are in
urgent need of direct international
banking facilities. We do 100000
worth OF business with South America
| in year and yet all our balances have
]! 10 be settled through English or
European banking houses. In the
great trade centers of South America
the English, the Germans, the French
and the Italians have their banks, but
| think that am right in saying thai
i there is not an American bank in al
South America Manifestly this is
serious hindrance to our trade.

Restless Elephants.

The elephant is so bulky We can
hardly believe that he is really most
restless creature, and the natives have
a saying that IAN elephants shoulder
is never STILL" A curious instance Of
their restless habits is given by sea-
captain in whose steamer forty ele-
phants had been shipped. The vessel
was anchored in perfectly smooth
sea off the coast of Zanzibar, but, to the
great surprise of the passengers, the
steamer began to roll. At first they
supposed the motion to be caused by
the ground-swell, but when the motion
kept increasing there was general
alarm. and the captain made an in
spection of the ship. Then it was re-
vealed that the elephants had in some
way found that by swaying to and fro
all together. rocking motion was pro-
duced which seemed to please them
immensely. So the great heads and
bodies rolled and swung in unison, un.
til the steamer, which had no other
cargo. and rolled light, was in immi-
nent danger of rolling clean over. The
drivers were hurried down into the
hold, and, after great deal of shout,
ing and humping, they made the ele'
phants "break STEP" so to speak, and
thus stopped their dangerous amuse'
ment.
