We talk about Chinese trade. Ths wants of one Swiss are more than those of a hundred Chinese, and the Swiss trade is right at our doors. The people nave the same wants that we have and every class of goods we make for ourselves ought to be sold to them. At present the bulk of our trade Is in cereals. raw cot ton petroleum and machinery, but we ought to send the Swiss everything un- der the sun. As it is, some of our goods are gradually creeping in. I have writ ten letters .iere on American desks, have bought ink ribbons at American type writer stores and I replenish my camera with American films. l found a drug store in Lucerne which prided itself on it's American patent medicines, and last, but not least, 1 warmed my chilled bones with a iigger of American whisky in hut saloon on the very top of the Alps.
 A Swiss View of American Trade.
 In order to get the trade, however. we must understand the country. We must send our drummers here and let them study the people. 1 had chat last night with MT. Alfred Georg. the secretary of the Geneva Chamber of Commerce. Mir. Georg was at one time connected with the Swiss Legation at Washington, so that he understands the United States. and he has at the same time a thorough knowl- edge of Switzerland and its commercial relations. Said he:
 "The United States is now annually sell ing about $15,OO0OO0 worth of goods to Switzerland. She could sell more were it not for the new regulations which your government has lately instituted as to our trade. By the treaty of 1850, under which we have been working for half a century. Switzerland was put under the favored nation clause. All concessions that were granted to other nations were granted to her, and as a result We exacted of Amer

ican imports our minimum tariff Then the United States began to grant to other countries concessions which she refused to Switzerland. We protested that this was contrary to the treaty, and you gave us notice that you would change the treaty, and did so. The result was that we put American goods on the general tariff, and your imports have not gained. What we need is a encouragement of our trade relations and the establishment Of something like reciprocity
 But will this increase our Swiss trader"
 Tt will We have to import many things, and our yearly imports run high into the millions. In 1900 we imported $220 100000 worth of foreign goods. and this importation must go on from year to year. Much of what we want is raised or made in the United States. We can not feed ourselves and we must have raw materials. Altogether we now buy from other countries 40 per cent. of all we consume, and our imports are, in fact, from $3O, ,OOO,OOO to $40, 900 more than our exports every year."

Use of Candles in New Orleans.

OS6 or SduOISS III NeW OTlSduS. New Orleans Times-Democrat.
 The candle never goes out in New Orleans" said a man who is connected with a big candle manufacturing con- cern. "and I suppose the consumption of candles in New Orleans is greater than at any other place in the world. propor- tionately, and where gas, electricity and oil are used for lighting purposes. It will only require a few moments re- hection to explain why this is. Take All Saints day, for instance. Did you ever think of the large number of can- dies that are used on this day in the pretty observances which mark this day of flowers and sentiment? The use of candles is by no means confined to any one religious denomination on All Saints Day. but, of course, in the Catholic gem eteries they are used more extensively than elsewhere. And, of course, the ex- tensive use of candles in other observ- ances of a religious nature has a great deal to do with swelling the enormous number of candles used here. They are of all kinds, too, and all sizes Candles of the finest possible make are sold in the New Orleans market, and play a part in the pretty ceremopials which mark the life in this quaint old place. And candles of the cheaper grades are used, too. In price they range from 8 to cents up to almost any price you may want to pay.

edge comes from pictures in the English catalogues sent out from the United States Many of the merchants can't read English and only the fewest will buy from catalogues.
 The Thrifty Swiss.
 The Swiss are thrifty and cautious in letting go their money. Their acqustive sense is as strongly developed as that or any people of the world. It was Of Ge- neva woman that this story is told. She was drowned in the lake here and when taken out was apparently Hfeiess. mirror was put to her lips but there was no sign of vapor upon 1t. Her flesh was cold. her pulse seemed dead. They were apout to put her in coffin when French drummer who had been doing business in the city and had come in contact with the listed methods of the Swiss mer- chants, said:
 "Wait moment. can bring her to life" He thereupon took out five-franc niece and laid it in her palm. The fingers conyulsivcIy grasped the silver, and the woman sat up and put it in her pocket.
 I do not vouch for the truth of this .+orv blt there is no doubt that the Swiss understands the value of the dol Ior and that he will not give it up with ont he is sure he is going to get more +ban an equivalent in return. He will not tuy unseen and if American ware bouses or sample rooms could be estab- 1isbed in the different cities of Switzer- land they would undoubtedly lead 10 ranjd increase of our trade. Such rooms should he in the charge of men who un- derstands the goods and who can speak at least French and German, and, if possi- ble, Italian.

 Our people underestimate this market They look upoa Switzerland as little more than a big pimple on the face of Europe.

of the watches are of the cheaper varie- ties, such as silver and nickel-about l. 100000 of each being sent away every year. We annually import something like 1900 nickel 2S,00O silver and 4,0OO gold watches from Switzerland, and in addition more than 54,O0O watch move ments.
 Swiss Cities.
 We are accustomed to think of Switz- eriand as an old country. So 1t Is. It was a thriving place in the days of the Romans, even then having its cities and villages. Later on the barbarians swept over it, and it is from them that come the Swiss people of today. Many of the cities here were good business places in the middle ages. This was the case with Berne and also with Geneva, where, dur ing the reformation, John Calvin thun- dered forth his denunciations of the priests.
 Knowing these things, one expects to find the Swiss cities hoary and gray. They are nothing of the kind. You have to hunt for antiquities. Geneva had houses in the days of Julius Caesar, but
