Wonderful Little Paddock and Chain.

In curious old book entitled The Wonders and Curiosities of London there are the following particulars con- cerning a minute paddock: In the twen' tieth year of the reign of Queen Eliza
 beth Mark Scarliot, a blacksmith, made a lock consisting of eleven pieces of steel, iron and brass, all of which, to- gether with the key, weighed but small fraction over one grain. He also made a chain of gold, consisting of forty-three links, which, after fastening 1t to the lock and key above men, tioned, be put around the neck of a common flea, the whole being so mi mute that the little insect could draw them over a silver plate with perfect ease. All of these together. lock, key, chain and flea, weighed a slight frac- ton less than two and half grains.

Honest Chfnameu,

Honesty is 8 prevailing virtue among most Chinamen. Some of them, in their native towns and cities, often leave their places of business unguarded while they go off for half an hour or more. Should customers arrive in the meantime they find the prices of goods plainly marked. select what they want and leave the money for them.

Australian Ten,

In the interior OF Australipsall the
men drink tea. They drink It all day
long and In quantities and at strength
that would seem to be poisonous. On
Sunday morning the tea maker starts
with Il clean pot and a clean record.
The pot is hung over the fire with q
sufficiency OF water in 1t for the days
brew, and when this has boiled he
pours into II enough Of the fragrant
herb to produce deep coffee colored
liquid.
On Monday, without removing yes.
terday's tea leaves, he repeats the proc.
ess; on Tuesday da capo and on We'd
nesday da capo, and so on through the
week. Toward the close OF II the great
pot is filled with an acrid mash of tea
leaves, out OF which the liquor Is
squeezed by the pressure Of tin cup.
BY this time the tea IL OF the color OF
rusty iron, incredibly bitter and disa.
greeable to the uneducated palate. The
native calls 1t real good old post and

from a stiff and dangerous jump, and
regards it as having been brought to
perfection.

There is reciprocity and reciprocity.
When asked If You are in favor of
reciprocity in trade with other nations
it is unsafe to say yes or no, unless it
is explained the kind of reciprocity
meant, and then the chances are the
ordinary business man will not be
familiar enough to answer the ques-
ton. The ordinary man is not tariff
expert. The general rule can be safely
laid down, however, that we, as pro-
lection republicans, are in favor of
reciprocity with any other nation
when the arrangement will not injure
industries in this country and will
help us extend our foreign trade. One
kind of reciprocity is pleasing to the
free trader and another kind to the
protectionist. Blaine and Harrison
were good protectionists, and any rec
iprocity they established or sought to
establish was not against the inter-
ests of any American industry. We
believe Dolliver to be as good a pro-
tectionist as they were. His past
record on the ways andmeans COM
mittee would indicate that.

President Roosevelt in commenting
on his recent bear hunt in Mississippi
in which he failed to kill his bear says:
son the Mississippi trip was in the
hands of my friends and had nothing
to do with the arrangements at the
camp. had been conducting the hunt
myself, l might perhaps have man
aged some things little differently.
In the first place, as soon as reached
the camp, 1 discovered that my hosts
did not look upon me as an able
bodied man perfectly willing to rough
it with them at any stage of the game.
They had an idea that l ought to be
kept packed in cottonwood and there
was constant fear in their minds that
if they spoke in loud tone of voice
or made an unguarded movement
would fall off my pedestal and be
broken in three or four pieces. They
were exceedingly solicitious about my
health and insisted on having a floor
built for the tent in which / slept. I
was good deal more anxious to have
a bear than a floor"

a curious and somewhat unpleasant Or

candidates ride up in q body to horse
pond and, there dlsmounting from their
steeds, plunge into the water and strug-

The music of brass band cheers them

the reign of King John, who once paid
a visit to the town in 1910 and found
no fitting welcome prepared for him.
The blame OF this state of unprepared'
ness was fastened on the luckless bal
lifts, who were promptly thrown into
the horse pond by royal command.

The 0uthrian's Congratulations

1--WE gather them in, one by
one" The Audubon REPUBL-
CAN, one of Iowa's best weekly
newspapers, is the last converted
to the "Shelter idea 1t says,
that the time is surely ripe for
the removal of the duty on anthra-
cite coal" But it mars this state
ment somewhat by the qualifying
statement "if one really exists"
That it exists there is no doubt, as
to its effects upon the price of
anthracite, in this country is an
other question. The fact that the
, anthracite out put is controlled
largely by great trust, that has
practically refused to recognize
the rights of the public, is sutii-
cient reason that the shelter of
tariff shall be removed. Governor
Cummins was the first to enunciate
the doctrine 1.-The consumer had
rights as we'll as the producer.
The experience, accompanied by
actual privation and suffering
sustained in the present situation
of the coal market, has been
practical lesson, that has drawn
the attention of all thinking men
to the principle taht the consumer
has rights. Guthrian.
We were not aware that the REPUB-
LICAN was taking a new position when
it said the time was surely ripe to take
the tariff off anthracite. We sup
ported the "shelter plank" last fall,
though perhaps with the idea that its
principles should be applied with less
freedom and with different discrimina-
ton than did some others. There is
surely no reason for protection on
anthracite coal and our understanding
is that in one sense there has been
none, for there is no coal of that grade
to be shipped in from Nova Scotia or
any other place. There is coal in
Nova Scotia somewhat inferior to an
thracite.
There Is less excuse for a tariff on
coal than on manufactured articles or
agricultural products. A tariff helps
the output or production. 1t
appears the coal fields are somewhat
limited. Why hurry the exhaustion Of
this necessity? However, it does the
industrial society of our country good
to be stimulated and developed by
tariff duties on manufac-
turers and agricultural products that
can be made or raised here in prac-
tically unlimited quantities.
AS to the Governor being the first to
the doctrine that "the con-
sumner has rights as well as the pro-
we beg to differ. TO US the
statement has strangely familiar
sound. Are not we all producers and
are not we all consumers?
We are happy that the present con-
gress seems working around to the
position that something must be done
to control and curb trusts and monop-
olies. We believe it will be done with
out destroying our tariff system.
