THE PREFERENTIAL TARIFF.
United states still Leads Great Britain
by Far in Canadian Trade.

WASHINGTON. Oct. lO.-The Department
Of Commerce has published n statement
showing the effect Of the Canadian prefer
entail tariff law on trade between Canada
and Great Britain and between Canada
and the United States. That this law has
failed to accomplish all that was expected
in the way of increasing commerce between
the Dominion and the mother country
is indicated by the fact that since 1897,
when it became operative, the imports
into Canada from the United States have
increased by 1O7 per cent. while those from
Great Britain have increased 12l per cent.
The imports into Canada from Great
Britain in 1897 were SOAP 1883, as against
SOL $40 4l from the United States, and in
the fiscal year 1903 sos ,OO7 $50 from Great
Britain as against Sl37 .805 ,195 from the
United States

L Universal Panacea.

In an Irish town the lads of a
school acquired the habit of smoking,
and resorted to the most ingenious
methods to conceal it from the mas
ter. In this they were successful IN
til one evening, when the master
caught them putting most vigorously.
"How MOVIE" shouted he to one of
the culprits. "How dare you be
smoking?"
"Sir," said the boy, II am subject
to headaches, and a pipe takes off the
pain"
"And you? And you? And youg
inquired the pedagogue, questioning
every boy in his turn.
One had a raging tooth" another
"eolic;" the third a Cough" in
short, they all had something for
which the weed was an unfailing
remedy.
"Now, sir" beloved the master
to the last boy, "pray, what disorder
do you smoke FORE"
Alas! all excuses were exhausted;
but the interrograted urchin, putting
down his pipe and looking up into
his masters face, said in a whining
hypocritical tone:
81 smoke for corns, sir P'-London
Tit-Bits.

The despot treads thy sacred sands,
Thy pines give shelter to his bands,
Thy sons stand by with idle hands,

He breathes at ease thy airs of balm,
He scorns the lances of thy palm;
Oh! who shall break thy craven calm,
Carolina!
Thy ancient fame is going dim,
A spot is on thy garments rim;
Give to the winds thy battle-hymn,
Carolina!
Call on thy children of the hill,
Wake swamp and river, coast and
rill,
Rouse all thy strength and all thy
skill,
Carolina!
Cite wealth and science, trade and
art,
Touch with thy fires the cautious
mart,
And pour thee through the peoples
heart,
Carolina!
Till even the coward spurns his fears,
And all thy fields, and ferns, and
meres
Shall bristle like thy palm with
spears,

The Principle of Rest.

The principle of rest is the prin-
ciple of relaxation-a temporary ces-
sation or suspension Of energy from
any part or from all of the body.
Absolute rest implies the complete
Getting go" of all tension, mental,
nervous and physical; all are IN
volved, to some extent, in every act
of our daily life, nor a they be en-
tirely separated.
Let us see what will happen II we
place the body in a reclining posi-
ton, so comfortably arranged that
absolute physical repOse would seem
inevitable. Then let the mind take
hold of some problem and concen-
trate on it until all the mental en-
ergy is aroused. This energy IS IN
consciously communicated to the
nervous system, and soon the entire
physical self is in a highly tenSed
condition. Few people realize TINS
until their attention is called TO II.
They think they must be resting
when the body is inactive. 1t is not
necessary that the body be exercising
in order to be tense: A set OF mus us
cles may be nervously tense and ye'
be apparently m~otionless. This dln5l
ence between a tense musch ana
a musch entirely relaxed, or us,
vitalized, is what l want w.
to thoroughly understand I Ir
this tense condition brought on Wy
mental and nervous strain, ana ol11H
held without relaxation tor houL0,
produces greater fatigue than I maIy
forms of exercise that are mercy
physical in execution. IND

A Bath Room on the Farm.

IF there is any man who can get
the full benefit of a daily bath at
this season of the year it is the
farmer who has followed the cultiva-
tor all day. He comes IN hot, per-
spring at every pore and with his
body covered with dust. You have
been there, friends (and SO have -,
and you know how it is better than
we a tell you. Wouldn't it be nice
after feeding the horses to go up to
the house and step into a bath tub
full of cool water, or get under a
shower spray? Wouldn't it be equal
ly agreeable to the women folks and
to the boys and girls? Why not have
things fixed so you can do this5 You
can just as well as not. All that is
necessary is a tank either in the top
of the house or barn or in a tower
outside, a little plumbing in the
house and a drain leading away.
The last will depend upon local con-
ditions, the size of the house, the
extent of the plumbing, etc. It will
run from $75 to $500 or more. To
fit up a bathroom alone will cost
very little, but while you are about
it you might as we'll do the job right
and put in a closet, stationary wash
bowls, and hot and cold water in the
kitchen. It is a shame the way most
of our women folks have to get along
without conveniences they are en-
titled to.
Begin to plan now for plumbing
the house as soon as harvest is over.
You are entitled to all the good
things you can afford and this is one
of them. You can not spend the
same amount of money in any way
that will pay you heavier dividends,
and every member of the family will
share in them.-Wallace's Farmer.

How Milburn, the Blind Chaplain, Won
His Spurs.

The death of William Henry Mil
burn, for many years famous as
"The Blind Chaplain" recalls the
romantic and heroic incidents con-
nected with his first election as a
Chaplain of Congress in 1916. When
Milburn was twenty-five, a very slight
figure, his left eye entirely blind, his
right eye having but one little trans
parent point not so big as the head
of a pin, giving him but a glimmer
of the outer world, he was travelling
by Ohio River steamer from Gin
climatic to Wheeling, W. Va. He
was then entirely unknown to the
world except to the little band of cir
cult riders among whom he had been
preaching in the backwoods for a
year. To his great delight he found
on the steamer a large number of
Congressman of both Houses, who
were on their way to Washington for
the opening of a session. MiIburn
expected a great profit from their
conversation, but was soon shocked
at their profanity, their gambling,
and their drunkenness.
The Ohio River was low, and fogs
coming on, they were detained over
Sunday. At breakfast a committee

Hygienic Living on the Farm.

patton known, the average lives of
farmers is lower in the scale of
longevity than that of several other
classes. Although blest with good
air, early rising, outdoor exercise
and regular habits, these advantages
are in a great measure c~ounter-bal-
anced by bad water and bad feed, to
say nothing of bad sanitary condi-
tions in their surroundings. Many
of them are very ignorant, while 9th
ers are very Indifferent in regard to
the use of the means of health so
abundantly supplied them. Hard wa
ter is usually their drink, and this is
not always drawn from a supply that
would be considered pure. Too often
the water is drawn from springs or
wells so situated as to catch the out
put of poisonous drains, or that have
been allowed to partially fill up with
rotting debris of one sort OF anoth-
err; stale meats heavily sailed, super
fine -four, greasy compounds, poorly
made butter and cheese, usually con-
stitute their only fare for months at
a time; fruits, and, indeed, many
vegetables, too often are regarded In
the light of luxuries, which they
either don't raise, or, when raised,
send to the market, or, if employed
at all, are usually made into pies or
buildings instead of being eaten IN
their natural, healthful state. It is
not easy to convince the farmer that
he can labor without old pork, bacon,
or sailed beef; he will not believe
that the lavish use of these is the
cause of his rigid muscles, stiff gait,
and many inirmities of stomach and
liver.
But there are other causes than inn
proper food and bad water that mill
tate against the good health of the
farmer. Exposure to all weathers,
sometimes avoidable, but often not,
has much to do with his frequent all
ments. This should be combated as
much as possible by proper clothing,
forethought and wise planning.
The inhabitants of the cities are
generally compelled to study the laws
of health, by their greater exposure
to dangers; and thus they exercise
caution in the selection and the quail
ity of their foods; then, too, the wo-
men in the cities, having a greater
supply to select from, and both vege-
tables and fruits, fresh or canned or
dried, always within reach, are better
and more hygienic cooks than their
less favored sisters in the country
who are usually restricted to salt
meats and scant, if any, supply of
fruits and vegetables at most seasons
of the year. Farmers, in general
are strangely negligent about pro-
viding for a supply of fruits for the
family table. A small fruit garden
of even small area, well tended
would save many an ailment and
ache, and in these days of Canning
the supply could be made to last the
