sion may be helpful to the democratic
cause during the presidential cam
paign 1t is believed Towne would be
a man of resources, and that in cOun-
source of strength to the democratic
cause.
Honors for Lind.
In this connection the expected has
happened so far as former Governor
Lind of Minnesota is concerned. He
has been taken cordially by the hand
on the democratic side and led up to
a high seat in the synagogue. He will
be heard from on the floor. Already
Mr.. Lind has been made to feel that
the democratic floor leader appreciates
him at his full value and will depend
on him for help. Lind will be able to
make himself useful in more ways than
one.
1t has been freely admitted by Mr..
Williams that reciprocity in general
and Canadian reciprocity in parucu-
lar are to be advocated by the demo-
Gratis in their efforts to break the tar
if wall of the republican party. They
will favor everything which will serve
to lower duties, and so, through the
far-sighted policy of Williams, they
will take up reciprocity and push it
with all possible vigOr Lind is very
much at home on this question, and
it is likely that he will ultimately
shape the democratic policy regarding
it. He is practically the only demo-
crat in the house who has made recip-
rocity a careful study and certainly
the only one who has detailed infOr-
nation regarding Canadian reciprOci-
ty.
1t is believed here that this determi-
nation of the democrats to take up re-
ciprocity will be more helpful to them
in congress next year in normally re-
publican states such as Minnesota,
than anything they have done for
years. This issue will appeal with
great force to people in all the border
states, regardless of party affiliations,
on account of the way the republican
majority in the senate has sat down on
reciprocity for years. Lind can tell
Williams, if he has not already done
so, that the democrats by this means,
will make a strong appeal to many
thousands of good republicans in all
the border states.

ton on steel rails intended for Korea
and Japan, and will shade this price
! if necessary. The high tariff in Amer
| lea makes this procedure possible. and
it is now in common usuage in the
steel trade, just as it is in the trade
of manufactured goods Of all kinds.
| Completes With United States Roads
A prominent official of the Northern
Securities company, in discussing the
matter, says:
IF the steel rail mills of the United
States sell steel rails to the Great
: Northern at $2S and to the Canadian
Pacific, a competitive line, at SIS
there is certainly something the matter
with economic conditions in this coun-
| try. The Great Northern is paying a
pretty high tariff for the privilege of
being an American railroad owned and
| operated by American capital. AS a
matter of fact, of course, the Canadian
Pacific, is not strictly foreign corpor-
alton, because it is carrying traffic all
the time that originates at American
points and is in competition with
American transportation lines just as
| much as it would be if the Canadian
Pacific were on this side of the line.
Of course according to the letter of
the law, the steel rail people have a
perfect right to give rails to the Ca
madam Pacific if they like, and we
haven't any right to object; but it
seems rather peculiar that at the very
time the steel rail people are asking
the trunk line railroads to make a
cheap rate on steel products intended
for export, these same steel rail people
are talking about selling rails to the
Canadian Pacific at SIS per ton. I sup
pose it is in order that the trunk line |
transport these rails for the Canadian
Pacic from Pittsburg to Montreal
at good cheap rates in order that the
steel mills may deliver them to the
Canadian Pacific as cheaply as posi-
BILE. This looks little like rubbing ,
it in, when one considers that the cost
of manufacturing steel rails is about ,
So per ton and that all the American
railroads have paid $2S for the last =
year or two without kcking.'
To Build Local Lines. II
The Canadian Pacific wants the {
rails for use on some local lines now s
planned to be built in Ontario. These /
lines will compete with similarly stu !
ated lines of Grand Trunk, but will in |
no way affect the trade of any Amer
lean railroads.
President Shaughnessy of the Ca
madam Pacific has been in New York :
and out through Pennsylvania for the =.
past week. He went with party Of
Pennsylvania railroad officials on a :
trip over that railroad and an inspec-
ton of the Ellsworth Coal company
near Pittsburg, from which company
the Canadian Pacific buys about $780,,
900 tons of coal every year. He says
there is nothing significant in his
trip, but that it was merely a social
visit made both pleasant and profit
able through the courtesy of the Penn
sylvania people.

Cost of Papal cOnclaves.

There has been considerable
variation in the expenses of the
conclaves summoned for the cleo
ton of a pope, for a bill which for
merly ran into many thousands
was reduced to quite modest di-
mansions at the time of the cleo
ton of Leo XIII. The last con-
clave involved bills for E2,314 for
carpenters and masOns' work,
locksmiths' etc, and $500 for fit
ting up the sistine chapel. The
%conclave of 1881, however, cost
S,945, and the election of Plus
VIII. and Leo XII, resulted in bills
amounting to EOS, $40 and f19,'
685 respectively. Before the last
century conclaves, while being
more frequent, were of longer
duration, and on several occasions
a limit of expenditure was i'm
posed in advance.

81 can assure you that you have
not been misinformed as to the
gold and precious gems being used
to decorate dogs collars" said
one of the best known dealers in
such articles in London; "but the
craze is far more prevalent in
France, Russia and America than
it is here" according to the Lon
don Tit-Bits.
"Not many weeks ago | supplied
to the special order OF an Ameri-
can lady a dog collar that cost so
guineas. 1t was a chain collar of
silver and gold links alternately,
and with a gold bell to hang in
front. French ladies are very
fond Of watch dog collars, a small
gold watch being let into the front
of the collar, and | have made sew
eral of these. But in scores of
cases / supply beautifully made
collars with municipalities of solid
gold, and often enough with gold
bosses as we'll. Nearly all the
collars of this class are intended
for the carriage dogs and drawing
room poodles alone, and in most
cases the dogs do not belong to
men, though the latter order and
pay for the collars as presents.
"a fashion has lately had great
vogue in France of putting tin.

STRANGE TASKS FOR WOMEN.
Butchers, Veterinary Surgeons and
Drummers in England.

Butchers, Veterinary Surgeons and
Drummers in England.
John Bull has been to some
pains to gather figures about
queer employments for women in
his domain, and the results are
surprising. 1t appears that in
England and Wales alone there
are nearly $4,000 women boot
makers, 3,239 ropemakers, 4,730
saddle makers, $40 who make a
living by gardening, $3.50 butch
ers, 27,707 who keep soul and body
together by tending bar, nearly
5000 cycle makers, and-the high
est figure of all-117,6 GAO tailors,
1t appears that there are women
bailiffs, boatmen, boiler makers,
bricklayers, iron founders, plumb
ers, plasterers, slaughterers and
veterinary surgeons. One woman
in the kingdom is set down as a
dock laborer, and another as a
road laborer, while 279 are under
takers and u are shepherds.
One bright, pretty Irish girl,
who managed to escape the cen.
sus altogether, has lately
branched out for herself as a com.
mercial traveller in whisky and is
supposed to be the only woman
"whisky drummer" in England, il
not in the world. She is Miss Vic

A Clever Musician.

Inthe strong light of Miss Marie
Corelli's literary fame it is
scarcely recognized nowadays
that she is one of the cleverest am

promise did she display in her
early years that before she
reached her fifteenth year she had
composed a grand opera, called
"Ginevra da Siena,' and several
songs Of considerable merit. She

HOW A TUNNEL WAS DUG.
Nobody in Chicago Knew Anything
About 1t Until Finished.


About 1t Until Finished.
1t appears, says the American
Architect, that an interesting
work has been going on in Chiea-
go for several years without the
knowledge of the public, in the ex-
cavatiOn of a tunnel IA mile. long
under the business district of the
city. This tunnel is a business
undertaking simply and is to con
tain a railway for the transporta-
ton of freight among the great
mercantile houses and between
them and the freight stations of
the AZ railways which enter Chi
cago, besides furnishing accomo
ton for telephone wires and pos
sibly wires of other kinds. 1t is
almost incredible that a tunnel
of this length, varying in width
from 6 TO 13 feet and in height
from s to IA feet, could have been
constructed under the most
crowded part of a great city with.
out the knowledge even of the
newspaper reporters, but the tun
mel is far below the surface, the
depth varying from q to 60 feet
so that it was unnecessary tC
make temporary roadways ovel
it, and the excavated materia
has been taken out at nigh
through shafts opening in pri
vate grounds and taken away t.
the lake front. The ground under
Chicago is a soft clay, which wa.
easily excayated, but it has beef
necessary to line it everywher,
with concrete.
A considerable portion of tn.
tunnel is already in use, and man.
business houses have shafts oper
ing into it, equipped with eleva
tors. Although an undergroun,
freight railway Of this kind seem
an expensive substitute for truck
and horses, it is quite possibl
that it may promote economy a

and transferring merchandise. E7

Eye to Detect Danger
The proposition that prong

upon the eye than the nose or ear

me as it is to yourself.
Indeed, | should express an ex-

writer in Forest and Stream. ]
suspect that a wrong inference
has been drawn from the cOnspic-
uous and even laboriOus use to
which the antelope does make of
its eyes. But it has always been
my belief that he does so because
his sight is so far from keen that

CITY CHILDREN.
How a Yard Can Be Made MOre Al

tractive Than the Street.
The children of the average
well-tO-dO city dweller are gener-
ally fortunate enough in the
chances of open-air existence af-
fOrded by the long summer holt
day. This means in the great ma
jOrity of cases two or three con-
secutive months in the country or
at the seaside. The benefit of this
long outing is seen in the fall,
when hundreds of children who
left town in June exhausted and
habby and pale, come back plump
and rosy and full of vitality.
1t is a great pity, says the
Youths Companion, after so
much ground has been gained to
slip back Immediately to the old,
wrong conditions, as so many peO-
pie do, keeping their children in
the house as soon as the first
bleak autumn days setin, and let
ting the walk to and from school
gradually come to suffice for all
the airing. When a growing child
has practically lived out of doors
for months his system has become
Injured to that mode of life. He
thrives under it, his constitution
cries out for it, and if it is sud-
denly withdrawn there will follow
rebellion and tagging health.
The difficulty from a domestic
point of view is a real one
enough. There are many parents
able to provide for their children
a comfortable home and good
/ food to whom the constant EN-
plOyment of a street attendant is
a serious matter, and constantly
