1t is a popular joke to say that there
are but six horses in Venice, four over
the portico of st. Marks cathedral and
two bronze animals Of heroic size, one
bestrode by Victor Emmanuel and the
other by General Colleone. But this is
mistake There are four other
horses, also of bronze, in the Church
of st. John and ct. Paul, and quite
number Of plaster and marble in the
different public buildings, |e1king ALTO
gether st least fifteen Or s.~,een. Rus
kin and other competent critics nave
declared the statue of Colleone to be
the best equestrian monument ever
cast in bronze. 1t was designed and
cast by Andrea Verrocchio, painter,
sculptor, jeweler, engraver, poet and
musician, man of infinite genius,
whose greatest fame lies in the fact
that he was the instructor of the great
est artists Of all centuries-Michaei
Angelo, Raphael and Leonardo da Vim
eli. The statue of Victor Emmanuel is
not so highly thought of.
The horses on the top of st. Marks
are famous and have had a trying cx-
perience. They date back to the pre-
historic age and are supposed to be the
work of q Greek artist named Lyssip-
pas and designed for sculptured char
lot. They were taken to Rome during
the empire and first used as ornaments
upon triumphal arch erected by Nero
and afterward by Trajan. The EN-
peror Constantine took thep& from
Rome to ConstantinOple, where the
Doge DandolO seized them as loot and
brought them to Venice. When Napo-
leon entered the city in 1897, he had
them taken down from the roof of the
cathedral and shipped them in wagons
over the Alps to Paris. They served
as ornaments upon the triumphal arch
in the Place du Carrousel till 1915,
when Emperor Francis l. of Austria
redeemed them, and they We're replac-
ed, at his expense, where they now
stand. These ponderOus animals are
of pure copper. and each weighs about
two tons. They were formerly gilded,
but the gold has been worn off by the
weather, and the yerdigris which has
accumulated upon the copper gives
them rich green tint-William e. Cur

Loving DOG Watches
Fit Mistress Grave

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, Sept By
a new made grave on the shaded
slopes of Hill Grove Cemetery, a
faithful Newfoundland dog keeps
watch over his dead Mistress. For
almost two weeks he has kept this
lonely vigil, and at night people in
the neighborhood are startled by his
disconsolate wailings.
Bruno was the pet of Mrs. Lucinda
Dorman, of Adelaide. He watched
by the bedside of his mistress during
her long illness, and finally he fol-
lowed the funeral to the cemetery,
here whining piteously. The dog, a
big, black fellow, stood among the
mourners during the ceremony at the
grave and then lay down by it.

In order to get the trade, however, we
must understand the country. We must
send our drummers here and let them
study the people. l had a chat last night
with Mr.. Alfred Georg, the secretary of
the Geneva Chamber of commerce. Mr..
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 it's commercial
relations. Said he:
THE United States Is now annually SELL
ing about SIS, 900, 900 worth OF goods to
Switzerland. 1t 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 was granted to
it and as a result we exacted of American
imports our minimum tariff. Then the
United States began to grant to other coun-
tries concessions which 1t 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 hat we put
American goods on the general tariff and
your imports have not gained. What we
need is a Encouragement of our trade re-
lations and the establishment of something
like reciprocity"
But will this increase our Swiss trade?"

stands the value OF the dollar and that he
will not give 1t up without he is sure he is
going to get more than an equivalent in re-
turn. He will not buy sight unseen, and IL
American warehouses or sample rooms
could be established in the different cities
OF Switzerland they would undoubtedly lead
to a rapid increase of our trade. Such
rooms should be in the charge of men who
understand the goods and who can speak
at least French and German and, IL possible,
Italian.
Our people underestimate this market.
They look upon Switzerland as little more
than a big pimple on the face of Europe.
They do not realize that the Alps embrace
some of the ~liveliest industrial communities
of the continent and some of the very best
spenders. Where will you get people who
compare with them? They are only a little
over 5000, 900 in number, but they have a
foreign trade which annually amounts to
more than $500, 900, 900, and OF this more
than 1920, OO0, 900 are imports. That is,
these 5000, 900 odd people buy 1920, 000, 900
worth of goods every year from outsiders.
They spend more than SEQ for every man,
woman and child in the country or more
than 5000 per family. This is their annual
contribution to the rest of mankind.
We talk about the Chinese trade. The
wants of one Swiss are more than those
OF a hundred Chinese and the Swiss trade
is right at our doors. The people have the
same wants that we have and every class
q goods we make for ourselves ought to be
sold to them. At present the bulk of our
trade is in cereals, raw cotton, petroleum
and machinery, but we ought to send the
Swiss everything under the sun. AS 1t is,
some OF our goods are gradually creeping
in. l have written letters here on Ameri-
can desks. have bought ink ribbons OF

they are really sent from heaven to keep
up our business!"
Many of our tourists buy watches here to
take back to the United States and not a
few get pearls and furs. Geneva is a famous
pearl market, and it deals largely in jewels
and precious stones. 1t makes many pearl
necklaces and sales of necklaces worth
81, coo and upward to American tourists are
not uncommon. 1t used to be that many of
our women got their furs here and espe-
cially their sealskin sacques, but the new
law which prohibits the bringing of seal
into the United States has broken up this
trade, and now, not fifty seal sacques are
sold in a summer. The customs regulations
prohibiting any traveller to bring in more
than 500 worth of goods have also af-
fected Switzerland. The merchants say they
would have sold three times as much to
tourists had it not been for this law, and
that a number of possible purchasers Of
pearl necklaces and costly furs had told
them that they now had to buy in New
York. At the same time more or less goods
are sold to tourists who hope to get them
through the customs house without declara-
ton.
The Swiss are making fortunes out of the
condensed milk manufacture. They exported
more than 81, OOO, 900 pounds of such goods
last year, and their sales of condensed milk
to Great Britain alone amount to more
than 50, 600, 900 annually. This business was
founded by an American, a United States
consul, who opened a factory here in 1866.
He organized a company with a paid-up
capital of $12, 900, and in the first year con-
densed only about $4,000 cans. His friends
put more money into the business. 1t
steadily grew and by 1880 it had increased
to $4,000 900, and it was turning out cans
by the millions. Branch offices were estab-

and our yearly imports run high into the
millions. In 1900 we imported 1920, 900, 600
worth of foreign goods and this importa-
ton must go on from year to year. Much
of what we wan is raised or made in the
United States. We cannot feed ourselves
and we must have raw materials. Alto
gether we now buy from other countries 40
per cent of all we consume and our i'm
ports are, in fact, from $50, 900, 900 to $4O,-
600, 900 more than our exports every year"
IF that is So" said l, you seem to be
doing a large losing business. If you i'm
port 1920, 10000 a year and only sell $780,
0 0 1000 your country must be falling away
behind every year. Is it not so?"
Yes" replied Mr.. Georg.
And this has been going on for years"
said l. According to the statistics Switzer-
land ought to be bankrupt"
Yes replied the Swiss, at ought to be
If figures tell the truth, but they do not al
ways tell all the truth. According to them
our aggregate deficiencies within ten years
have been something like $500, 900, 900, and
nevertheless Switzerland was never richer
than it Is today. The reason is that we
have sources of income that do not appear
in the statistics. Our people have invest
ments in other countries which bring in a
great deal of money. They are noted for
their business ability and are not afraid OF
large undertakings. Another source is the
tourists who drop into our laps $50, 900, OOC
every year. There are other items, but
these two will more than make up the ap.
parent deficit"
The Swiss have many industries peculiar
to the country, which are more or less re.
lated to America. American tourists spend
millions here every year, not only in hotel
and travelling expenses, but also in pur-
chases. Not long ago a Geneva milliner
in speaking of her business said:

The trouble with many articles is that the
Swiss do not see them. Their only knowl-

English catalogues sent out from the United
States. Many OF the merchants cant read
English and only the fewest will buy from
catalogues.
The Swiss are thrifty and cautions in let

sense is as strongly developed as that of
any people OF the world. 1t was OF a &c,

was drowned in the lake here and when

was put to her lips, but there was no sign
