one of gentle simplicity.
Oh how good the Pocket smelled!
Lovely! Why. it smelled just as good

The Cuban Reciprocity Treaty.

The reciprocity treaty which Gen. Tas-
ker II. Bliss has gone to Havana to ne
gotiate with Cuba provides for a general
reduction Of the Dingley tariff schedules
Of at least ~ per cent and in view of
the growth of the sentiment in favor Of
tariff revision shown by the recent cleo
tons President Roosevelt thinks that
the reduction may amount to % per cent.
In return 'for this concession Cuba is
to give the United States the preference
in her trade, but not by reduction of
her tariff. Instead OF doing this, the
islands schedules are to remain as at
present for imports from this country.
while they are TO be raised on cores
ponding imports from other countries.
The increase in the Cuban schedules
will not be uniform. but will vary accord
ing to the extent OF the control of Cuban
markets now exercised by this country.
The principal object kept in view in the
revision of the islands tarin was the
maintenance of the Cuban revenue at
the amount provided for by the present
law.

Important Documents Returned to
Vermont.

The binding and delivery to the Gus
tody of the Vermont secretary of state
of the papers of the surveyor generals
of Vermont, made between some date
considerably before 1873 and 1888, closes
an interesting chapter of crime in con-
nection with these important documents.
At the latter date the Office was abolish
ed but the matter of the custody of the
records was overlooked. They wereI
gathered up by a shrewd resident. prob
ably after the death of the last survey
or general. and sold to the state of YER
mont in lA9. Later they were found
to be missing and they were not dis
covered till about nine years ago when
they were found TO be in the state libra
ry of New York, at Albany, they hav-
ing been bought by the State of New
York from alleged heirs of the man who
had originally sold them to Vermont, at
a cost to New York of $1,000 At the
last session of the Vermont Legislature
n joint resolution was passed authoriz-
ing their purchase from the New York
authorities. These officials, under the
leadership of Melvil Dewey, one of the
directors of the library. took the broad
ground that the records were official
papers of n sister state and should be
returned without delay. An arrange
ment was perfected by which certain
papers belonging to New York held
partly by Vermont and partly by individ-
uals Snoulu De exchanged TOT the survey
ors' documents. To do this required the
purchase of several valuable volumes OF
records held by individuals and the late
Hiram A. Huse. furnished the money fol
the purpose. Since they have been bound
the thirty-six volumes have been placed
by special act of the legislature in the
custody of the state.

A. J, R. Akin, the mining engineer, tells a Toronto reporter a bright story about the country between AsheIoft ard the Yukon.
 Mr. Atkln said:
 "The distance between Ashcroft and Dawson Is about I,ooo miles. have pros- peeted earecsly over about 400 miles of that country north of Ashcroft. l do not know of any country in the world where greater wealth lies waiting development, which would immediately follow railway facilities"
 "for instance" continued Mr. Atkin, copper of the finest quality S, abundant that have seen solid bars of 1t lying about In proiuslon, of no value to me whatever simply because could not trans- port It over tn. mountains.
 With railroad all the mineral wealth would become at once of tremendous value. Wealth Is no name for the treasure that lies in those mountains. The best of 1t Is that there is any amount of alluvial gold, which would not require much capital to work. In point of mineral wealth the country beats South Africa and New South Wales Combined"
