CRISIS IS ABOUT REACHED
AMERICAN AND CANADIAN LUMBER.
MEN AT LOGCERHEADs.
Secretary Gage May Apply the Re-
taliatory Clause of Dfngley
Bill to Canada.

WASHINGTON, April 14.--A crisis, ii
is said, has about been reached in the
controversy between the American own
ers of Canadian timber in the province OF
Ontario and the parliament of the pro-
vince logs. The Ontario officials have so
construed this act as to apply 1t to all
timber purchased and paid for by Ameri-
maintained, II S said, will be to render
worthless large holdings of Canadian
stumpage purchased by Americans from
the crowan lands lin the department of
Ontario and also to prevent opera tions of
sawmills erected on the American side
which have no other source Of supply
than the Canadian timber referred to.
When these conditions became known to
the American timber owners they memoir
ialized the government of the United
States to make reclamation from Great
Britain as the United States had no
diplomatic relations with the Dominion of
Canada; the mater was referred to the
joint high commission but that body hav-
ing taken no action, committee of
timber owners headed by Ex-Governor
Rich of Michigan came to Washington a
few days before the commission dissolved
and asked the secretary TO impose the re-
taliatory clause of the Dingley act. 1t is
stated that a conclusion has been practi-
cally arrived at by Secretary Gage to
apply the retaliatory clause Of the Din
siey act forthwith in default of an as
surance from the Canadian government
that the provincial act referred to shall
not be construed to prevent the explora-
ton of logs purchased and paid for by
Americans prior to the passage of the
act Whether this retaliation would so tc
the extent Of prohibiting altogether the
importation of Canadian lumber, or
whether a dirty would be imposed which
would be prohGbltory in its effect had
not yet been determined

Prairie fires continue to rage in this

The Earth Was Made for All.

The Earth Was Made for All.
There's a question now uprising.
Deep affecting every hearth.
Sweeping on with speed surprising
:'ris the ownership of earth;
And the sage the man of letters,
Gazing on the future years,
Sees the falling OF the fetters--
Sees the drying of the tears.
Men are learning now the folly
OF the claim that man at birth
Is a trespasser and wholly
Void of claim TO Mother Earth.
Let no ,yrant bind thy knowledge
In cell SO cramped and small;
Seek The truth ut natures college
This fair earth was made for all.
Think We that the God OF nature,
When creation was at Birth,
Dreamed that there would rise crca
That would buy and sell the earth
Who would eNtort from his fellow
Grinding landlords tribute high.
Ere the earth The poor may pillow
Aching head and dropping eye:
Pause and ponder, friend and brother
IT'S the law of hellish birth
That one man must from another
Buy the right to live on earth.

Soon the writing on the wall

bill to kill department stores. Under
the new law merchandise is divided III
tc Is classes, and fax of $500 is plac-&

a tax of $4,000 year for any store

will act as a boomerang and force the

OUR MERCHAET MARINE.
In 1897 no American merchant ves-
Ipi entered tha mort of Puapoc v-raS

In 1897 no American merchant ves-
BEL entered the port Of Buenos Ayres.
The newspapers of Hamburg, the
third largest commercial port in the
world, said in 1897 that 30 years had
elapsed since that port had seen the
stars and stripes at a masthead.
British and German vessels carried
IS per cent of our grain exports in 1897.
Among 1879 grain-laden vessels only
II were American, carrying less than
per cent of the total trade.
Our domestic water commerce, coast.
wise, great lakes, rivers and canals is
by far the largest in the world, and is
two and half times greater than that
of the United Kingdom, second On the
list.
American shipping carries about one.
half of the total sea commerce between
the United States and neighboring for.
eign countries, as Canada, the West
Indies, Mexico, Central America and
the north coast of South America.
In 81 years after 1860 the tonnage OF
the United States registered for foreign
trade shrunk to one-fourth of its pro.
portiops before the civil war. In the
same period the tonnage of the British
Empire more than doubled.
No merchant vessel flying the United
States flag passed through the Strait OF
Gibraltar or the Suez canal in 1898 OF
1898. In 1925 the steamers passing the
Strait Of Gibraltar numbered 1888 and
the sailing vessels $50. In 1855 the
steamers numbered 1854, and the sail.
ing vessels 226.
All signs indicate that in few years
more the'United States will again en-.
gage largely in ocean transportation.

HAT TRICKS By M. p.,S
Performances That Are Given I'm the
House Of Commons Every
Day.

That members of parliament should
be allowed to wear their hats in the
house has often surprised foreign Wis.,
itors to the historic chamber, saws the
London Mail.
1t is laeky for a great many members
that the rules of debate, while demand
ing the'wearing of hat, make no pro-
visions as to the character the head
gear shall take. The obvious result is
that the variety of parliamentary hats
Is wonderful and vast.
But it is not so much the character
OF parliamentary hats as the manner
In which they are worn that is of in
terest. Some truly marvellous balanc-
ing feats are performed with hats dur
ing every session.
A. j. Balfour and the duke of Devon
shire can balance their hats on the
bridge of their noses as if they had
been weaned practicing the feat. The
duke OF Devonshire is especially clever
In this way, and it is very difficult to
say whether he is not doing peaceful
ly behind the ample brim tilted over his
nose.
1t has been said that the leader of
the house of commons deliberately sets
a trap for his adyersaries by pretending
to sleep in the shadow of his hat brim.
SO they may fall into error and he can
Pounce upon them.
Another wonderful trick is that per.
formed by Tim Healy, who balances the
front brim of his hat upon the bridge
OF his pincenez in a way few men could
accomplish the task. 1t is one of the
unmistakable signs that trouble is
brewing in the immediate neiphbor.
hood of Mr.. Healy's seat. 1t practically
amounts to an ultimatum to the gov.
eminent, one which the party whips
must not ignore.

MONEY OF MANY LANDS.

Whales teeth form the currency OF
the FIJI islands. They are painted white
and red to represent different values.
The natives carry their wealth around
their necks.
In kafTirland cattle constitute the
chief currency. In old Russia skins
were used for buying and selling. The
trouble in both cases is it is hard to
make change.
In East Indian bazars cowries are the
commonest form of small change. Six.
ty-four shells are equal in value to one
piece. and to pay $1,000 for house. as
one native did, requires 100000 COW.
ries.
Among the natives of New Britain
shell money is called tambu. 1t is mad,
from a small and rare shell dug from
the sand. Loads of these are threaded
and hung on trees to be used when the
tribe barters with another tribe.
One of the largest and most cumber.
some forms of money is found in cen.
tral Africa where the natives use a cru.
ciform ingot of copper ore ten inches
long. 1t is heavy enough to be a
formidable weapon.
In the Loyalty islands little twisted
tufts OF fur taken from behind the ears
OF the flying fox form the money. In
Santa Cruz feather money is used, the
red feathers being taken from the
wings of tame parrots. In one part Of
Africa iron spades are used as coins.
