A Chinese Innovation.

Some foreign clothing has been TAX
en- into the palace at Pekin for the
emperor and empress dowager to try
on, so that they may come to some
decision regarding its introduction in
official circles. Should the emperor
and empress dowager sanction the
wearing of foreign costumes by the
court an unprecedented departure will
have been taken. In no way is the
conservatism of the Chinese shown
more strongly than by their adherence
to their national dress, even whe.

worry about his wife's loneliness any

But, alas! when he arrived home
his wife met him with the deplorable
news that the dog had gone.
'Eh!" said Wilkinson, ibid he break

.'No.' she replied; "but a great,
ugly-'ooking tramp came here and
acted so impudently that let the dog
loose. But instead of tearing the tramp
to pieces the nasty dog went off with
him"
"Great scott!'' said Wilkinson, that

CANADIAN MOVEMENT.


The St. Paul Daily News has
the following very good editorial
on the Canadian movement:
Viewed from an economic
standpoint, the United States
will gain as much as it loses by
this Northern movement. Can
ada affords this country an outlet
for surplus population. That
means much to a country which
is almost face to face with the
European problem the neces-
slty Of providing an overflow for
a congested population. With
the disappearance of our free
lands, Canada will provide this
outlet. Whatwe will gain in this
particular we will lose, of course,
as Europe loses, by the emigra-
tion Of our strongest and fttest.
Politically this movement is
significant. While the CONNER.
cial boomers of Canada point with
pride to the new blood from the
States, the politicians view the
situation with alarm.
The politicians see in the move
ment ultimate annexation. OF
the new settlers in Canada last
year, IS per cent came from the
United States and only 25 per
cent from the British countries.
This year, it is believed, 70 per
cent will come from the United
Stat s. What does this mean?
It means that every settler
from the United States will be a
missionary for annexation. The
American will not be contented
until he sees the Stars and
Stripes floating over his head.
Then, there are the French-Caz
nadians. They have not been in
tensely loyal to Great Britain.
They never will be. They are
increasing more rapidly than the
Canadian English The Ameri.
can born and French descended
will join hands and give the sep
aratist movement it's greatest
impulse.
The logic of events will do the
rest.
There is no reason in the na.
ture of things why line should
be drawn through the North
American continent, tting
asunder what God hath joined.
The enforcement cannot last.
Let our young men go to the
North Land by the thousands.
It will be ours some day. And
the day is not so far distant as
some of US may think it is.

from the South to-day were not in

reports especially were more alarming
as to the damage by weevil. That
state has been watched as never be-
fore and 1t now looks as if the dam
age by insects may prove greater than
was deemed possible a few weeks ago.
The general surroundings are strong.
New cotton is slow in coming forward
and until it moves, sellers are extreme
ly shy. Worm damage in the Atlantic
states is pressing Liverpool in a meas
ure. On the whole, both sides are not
disposed to be aggressive but 1t is gen.
orally felt that with open fall we
shall not raise more than will be need
ed the coming season, and that the
eagerness of spinners to replenislf
stocks will strengthen the market as
the season advances. Shorts We're
covering during the morning and this
led. TO a substantial advance. Cables
were / to higher. Leading firms were
buying without the aid of poels Fear
of the weather changing for the worse
caused a little scare, People who were
sure of splendid crop recently We're

small receipts scared bears generally,
