health of the United States; the indie
pendence of Cuba is necessary to the
safety of the United States. The same
considerations which led to the war
with Spain now require that COM
mercial arrangement be made under

Report.
I most earnestly ask your attention
to the wisdom, indeed, to the vital
need, of providing for substantial
reduction in the tariff duties on Cuban
imports into the United States. Cuba
has in her Constitution affirmed what
we desired, that she should stand. in
international matters, in closer and
more friendly relations, with us than
with any other power; and we are
bound by every consideration of honor
and expediency to pass commercial
measures in the interest of her mate
rial well-being. President Roose-

Everyone wanted to know how such
a wonderful trick was done and the
young man solemnly answered that
he had magnetized the cane, and that
it was his deep study of magic and
magnetism which had led him to
make the experiment. Finally, how
ever, he revealed the secret.
! "Before I offered to do the trick"
he said, II fastened to my trousers
near my knees piece of wire so
thin as to be practically invisible.
When sat down and began to stroke
the cane I began gradually to move
my knees away from each other, and
in this way the wire was drawn out
to it's full length. The cane was then
leaning against it and naturally it did
not fall when I took my hands away"

FROM SASKATCHEWAN, WEST
ERIN CANADA.

In q letter written from Prince AL
bert, Saska tchewan, one of the dis
tricts of Western Canada, by Henry
Laughin to DR.. c. T. Field, OF Chase,
Michigan, and which appeared in the
Reed City (Michigan) "Clarion," ap-
peared the following:
IF any one should ask you how I
like it up here, tell them I am perfect
ly we'll satisfied; for me it is just the
place. 1 have as good piece of land
as ever laid out doors. Wouldn't ex-
change it for the whole of Lake county,
or at least the township of Chase.
"Of course I have not been here
very long, but as much of the country
as have seen, it cannot be beat any
where. We had as good crops here last
fall as ever saw, and everything gets
ripe in good shape. We had as good
ripe potatoes as I ever ate in my life.
There is no better place for stock on
the continent than here. Horses and
cattle will do as good running out all
winter here, as they DO where theyare
fed all winter there. Have built me a
residence and now all want is wife
to keep house for me. I have some
breaking already done onhmy place, but
next summer I intend to have more
done and then I will be ready for BUSH
ness.
1--WE have had very fine winter so
far. It has not been much below zero,
If any, except about week in the mid
die of November. It has been quite
cold the past day or two. We are in
log shanties, and they are just mud

frozen on the inside as yet. There is no:

tie affections which are due to sudden
changes in the climate and tempera-

great many remedies for coughs,
colds and diarrhoea.
II had always supposed these aftec-
tions to be different diseases. For tho
last ten or fifteen years have been
reading DR.. Hartman's writings. I have
learned much from his books, one thing
in particular: that these affections
are the same and that they are proper
" called catarrh.
"As for DR.: Harfn1an's remedy,
Pe-ru-na, / have found it to be the
BEST If not the only, reliable REM
edy for these affections. 1t has
been my standby for many years,
and / atfribufe my good health and
extreme old age to this remedy.
1T exactly meets all my require

effects of sudden changes; it keeps me
in good appetite; it gives me strength;
it keeps my blood in good circulation.
I have come to rely upon it almost en-
tirely for the many little things for

found it to be Just the thing.
