New York, Apfil l0-The worlds
Washington correspondent says:
Embassador Patenotte ia accordance
with. instructions received from the
French government viii soon file at
the state department. protest against
the pending tariff legislation.
Our transactions with France for the
past 10 years show balance OF trade
of nearly $50 900 900 year in our favor.
This has caused considerable irrita-
ton to French merchants. and now
that the Dingley tariff bill threatens 70
further roluce their profits they are
strongly in favor Of retaliation.
The United states buy from France
annually nearly 100000 600 worth Of
goods. Wine. woolens and silks are
the largest importations. They sell to
France over $4,000 600 Of productions,
Of which cereals and -four, cotton and
cottonseed oil. copper, petroleum and
hides form the principal part.
Should the Dingley tariff law be en-
acted France. it Is said, will consider
that all former commercial treaties
with this government have been
broken and viii look elsewhere for her
breadstuffs and other goods that she
usually buys here.
A French diplomat said: The Unit
ed states, in making stringent laws,
must be unaware that Russia is about
to bid for the -four trade of Europe. 1t
is only q matter Of q short time when
Russia viii be the granary OF the world.
She has IN her great empire more land
where cereals can be produced than the

the nations Of Europe will buy bread

Spain IS about to revise her COM
mercial laws under the free trade prin-
ciples. From the Spanish colonies oils
can be obtained under favorable condl-
tions. For many years England has
endeavored to got Indian cotton into

GUM China buys American cotton in
! large quantities. The celestial kingdom
has detailed n special commissioner to

ADVICE ON
GAS MATTE R s.

If your light is poor there is
something locally wrong, as your
gas is the same as is supplied to any
other customer.
IL your burners spread the light
ike the fingers of a hand, they
hould be cleaned out or replaced.
cleaners furnished without charge.
If you have old-fashioned shades
with small openings at the Lcsstom
YOU should change them at once TO
yet best results from your gas.
If yoor Walsbach lights are moi
as good as they were formerly, they
probably need new mantles or other
attention.
If your stoves do not give out
heat as formerly, the openings may
want cleaning out.
Architects should plan for lib
eral-sized gas pipes in all houses,
even if other illumination is contem-
plated.
Large gas pipes should be put in
all houses, because gas is used in
more rooms than was formerly the
custom, and because heating and
cooking stoves are largely used now
and are mostly placed at the far
thest distance from the meter and
need a full flow of gas.
Builders and owners Of new
houses should see that gas pipes are
put in every house, because pur-
chasers or renters will expect to
have the advantage of competition
in illumination, even if they do not
want to use gas at present. t
Houses will sell better or rent
better if theJ have gas pipes in
them.
Gas consumers should watch then
own meters so as to be satisfied with
I their bills; meters are so simple thai
any intelligent person can read them
and thus know the cost of their gal
as time passes.
Housekeepers should admit no one
TO their houses on the pretense Of
being sent from the Gas Office un-
less the applicant is personally
known or can show the silver badge
and the lettered cap Of company.
All houses should have an outside
light burning all night to illuminate
heir side and back buildings, and
should also keep some lights burn
ing all night in rooms and halls to
keep off burglars it is far better ia
use a few thousand extra feet Of gas
each year than to have the house
] robbed once.
Dollar gas makes the cheapest,
best and safest light, and the most
convenient fuel yet produced
Now is the time to order Cooking
Ranges for Summer; ample hot
water for family bathing can be
supple with them, while the tenn
lperature Of the kitchen is bearablC

Are now both fiedged and flown.
The thistles by the roadside
In blossom now appear;
And in the wales when twilight comes,
The cricket's voice we hear.
The lilies by the broOkside
Have withered long ago,
And in their stead the golden-rod
And aster flowers glow.
The robins nest is empty, t
The grapes are turning blue,

Take on a ruddy hue.

For summer waneth fast;
