As soon a. the new treaty between the
United States and Cuba goes into effect,
it is confidently expected that the trade
between the two countries will be greatly
enlarged. 1t is predicted by men of sound
business judgment that practically all of
the Islands sugar crop will be marketed in
this country. The crop this year, which
is just now being harvested, is an immense
one, and the bulk of it will come to the
United States. Last year we bought of
Cuba $43 ,OOO 600 worth of sugar, and sold
to her S22, 600 600 of our products.

In America. writes a female contri-
butor to the Contemporary Review
though the women have not as yet
votes. except in few states, they have
attained a different social position
from that which we hold in England,
and. consequently, an American man
talks up to us, very visibly taking 1t
for granted that we know as much and
have as good a judgment of the sub
iect in hand as himself.
An Englishman, on the contrary,
usually talks down to us. He assumes
that we know little or nothing, and
that our opinion Gf we have any are
hardly worth ascertaining. This he
does pretty universally to ladies who
are strangers to him. Only If he hap
pens to know that the woman to whom
he is speaking is the possessor Of
brains he is apt to treat her in a still
more aggravating manner, and to i'm
ply, in all he says, that she is not
as other women are, fools and slight"
but stands apart from her sex-a very
great insult, as we must all consider
it.
After q certain number Of years Of
the new regime, 1 am convinced that
the minds of women would grow larger
and stronger, even as their bodies
have done in the last forty years, by
fresh air and exercise, and then gen.
Grafton will arise in which women will
scarcely be called any longer the
weaker sex"

was the guest Of houor. Ambassador
Choate presided at the banquet ard re-
spOnded to toast to President Roosevelt,
given by the Duke of Marlborough He
introduced Mr. Bryan, who was givan an
ovation by the American and English
guests. Mr.. Bryan's speech was happy
one. He urged the necessity of the pre-
sent generation standing for International
amity of which the Hague Tribunal was a
lasting monument, and concluded his re-
marks with the following beautiful and
noble sentiment.
HAL to the nation, whatever her name,
who leads the world towards this higher
ideal for the lasting good of humanity"

WHAT is A SAFE MAN?

The recent meeting of Senator Platt and
Governor Ojell, of New York, and the
settlement of the dscordant relations tx
ist!ng between them is not very satsfac-
tory to the Democrats. They are lot
pleased with the fact that Mr.. Hanna de-
clines co become a candidate against Presi-
dent Roosevelt for the nomination in 1904
Discord amongst the leaders and not peace
is what our Democratic friends would like
to see. As there is harmony among the
Republicans, so far as the Presidential
election Of mex. year is concerned, md it
locks ike a settled fact that Mr.. Rocse'
welt will be the nominee of his party,
nothing Is lef, for the Democrats TO do
but to show that e is not strong with the
rank and file of bis party. This they will
attempt to dc.
The Lynchburg News recently, in an
editorial, as 1t All Lovely? declared
that while there may he harmony am ing
the party leaders that sit does not follow
that the rank and file will unanimously
fall into line at their bidding" Our con-
temporary says that "there is dissaisflc-
ton among the Republicans, especially
among business men," 1t declares that,
They are afraid of Roosevelt, and would
like to see some safer man in the PIesiden'
tlal chair"
Mr.. Roosevelt is a bold man, AM he
sometimes does unexpected thugs. But
We would like for our esteemed coniem-
porary to point olt in instance in Which
he has shown himself an unsafe man IN
dealing witt any question of national or
international Importance. During his Ad.
ministration quite number of important,
novel questions have arisen, and he has
not only treated them in safe but sue
cessful manner.

CRIPPLE CREEK ORES.
No Telling What the Earth There
Has Tucked Away.

No Telling What the Earth There
Has Tucked Away.
The more the Cripple Creek district
Is prospected and developed the more
the miners have reason to be surprised
at it's wonderful wealth. Not only is
there an enormous amount of gold to
be found, but every now and then
some mineral supposed to be a stran-
ger to the district is disclosed.
1t is not often, yet occasionally sill
yer is discovered, and the same is
true of copper. Just the other day on
Copper Mountain, which is in the ex-
IRENE northern part Of the district,
lead was encountered in the lower
workings of mine. What the pres
ence Of this lead means is as yet a
matter of conjecture, but it is some
thing novel in Cripple Greek.
From discoveries of this kind. al
though they may be but rarely made,
the conclusion seems to be justified
that the district may change its char
acter at least in some locanues and,
ultimately, produce silver, copper and
lead under conditions not yet known
in that part of the State. 1t would
not follow that the value of the gold
output would decrease, for IL is alto.
gether possible that gold may be found
associated with silver or copper in
large quantities. The ore of the Com
stock, for instance, carried both gold
and silver, and its value was in part
due to each metal.-Denver Republi.

Rare Specimens from italy, France
and Enuand.

Some fine examples recently added
to the collection Of ecclesiastical en-
broidery at South Kensington are now
exhibited there In the Tapestry Court.
They were obtained from the Hochon
collection which was sold in Paris last
month. The museum owns one of the
best among them to the generosity Of
Mr.. J. II. Fitzhenry, who placed at the
disposal Of the authorities sum suffi-
cient to purchase the beautiful Ital-
Ian orphrey dating from the second
half Of the fourteenth century (No.
S31-1o03). It is remarkable both for
beauty and fineness Of workmanship
and for the simple and expressive
manner In which the artist has told
the story Of the Virgin Mary; the sub
ject is represented in nine scenes.
The orphrey probably belonged to
cope, and may be compared with that
on the cope No. 5So-1884 exhibited in
a wall case In the Italian court. An
English orphrey NO S27-1903) comes
in no degree behind this Italian exam
pie in technical qualities, and forms
another illustration Of the remarkable
prominence of English embroideries
in the earlier Gothic period. "Opus An
glicanum" had acquired a celebrity
on the Continent of Europe before the
middle Of the thirteenth century, and
beautiful examples dating from that
and the following century, and showing
unmistakable signs Of English origin,
are still to be found in Italy, Spain,
France and elsewhere. Two bands OF
Cologne work mos. 1923 and S24-1909
Illustrating the possibilities of COM
bining the weaver's and embrolderer's
art, date from the latter part of the
century. One other piece
may be mentioned-an orphrey from
a chasuble (No. 826-1903) bearing the
date 1928 on a cartouche beneath the |
central figure OF David, and most |
probably of French workmanship. 1t I
forms a simple and useful example Of
continental work at a period when the
art Of the embroiderer in this coun-
try after a decline during the Wars
Of the Roses shone again for a brief
period before its practical extinction,
as far as ecclesiastical work is con-
cerned, at the dissolution of the mon
lsteries.-London Globe.

to the agency saying, 81 have a boy
Antonio, ten years old, whom | desire
to exchange for a boy Of about the
same age from a German-speaking
Canton" The agent looks over his
list of applications from German Can
tons and writes to one of the fathers
there who has boy whom he wants
to learn Italian:
Dear Sir-I can exchange your
boy, Gottfried, for Antonio, of such
and such q place in an Italian Can
ton"
And so the trade is made. When
Gottfried can speak italian and An
tonic can speak German, their parents
write. 1--WE would now like to ex-
change boys living in a French-speak-
ing Canton" And so another ex-
change is effected; little Antonio goes
to the home Of little Francois in Valais
and Francois to the home Of Antonio
in Ticino, while Gottfried is adopted
into the family of little Jacques in
Lausanne, and Jacques goes to the
home of Gottfried in Zurich.
Each child stays In the Canton to
which it is sent for six months before
going to school. In that time, from
hearing the language, which he has
been sent to learn, spoken around him
all the time, he is able to speak 1t
fairly well.
Then he is sent to school to learn
the grammar of the tongue, and, when
he has done that, he is ready to go
home or to be exchanged again as the
case may be.

State. Out of the 246 counties in that
state more than 200 have already voted in
favor of prohibition. The friends of pro-
hibition are now confident that before a

put in effect which will forbid the sale of
intoxicating liquors within Its borders. The
liquor dealers are now preparing to move
out of the State or abandon the business.

4 Timely SUGGESTION.

This is the season of the year when the
prudent and careful housewife replenishes
her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. 1t is certain to be needed before the
winter is over, and results are much more
prompt and satisfactory when 1t is kept at
hand and given as ION as the cold is con-
tracted and before it has become settled
in the system. In almost every instance
a severe cold may be warded off by taking
this remedy freely as soon as the first IN
dication of the cold appears. There is no
danger in giving it to children for it con.
tains no harmful substance 1t is pleasant
to take-both adults and children like it,

The Manchus themselves seem to
consider that there is nothing to ba
feared from the Muscovite, and, blind
to the menacing movements of the
Russians, still continue to order the
expenditure Of huge sums Of money on
the perfectly useless work Of repairing
the imperial ancestral tombs and
mausolea. instead of applying the
money in organizing a modern armed
and disciplined army to hold the land.

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers OF
small children to learn that Group can be
prevented. The first sign of Group is
hoarseness. A day or two before the at
tack the child becomes hoarse. This is
soon followed by peculiar rough cough.
Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely
as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the rough cough appears, and it
will dispel all symptoms of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never been
known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the onlv rem

and that is pleasant and safe to take. For

EXCHANGING CHILDREN.
An Agency Where These Exchanges
of Children Are Made.

In Switzerland parents have curl
GUS custom of exchanging children.
The country Is divided into several
States called Oantons, and in some Of
these the people speak French, in
others German, and in others Italian.
Now the Swiss parent desires that his
boy or girl shall grow up with knowl-
edge Of all three of these languages,
so, when the child can read or write
the language Of the Canton in which
1t is born it is exchanged for the child
of parents living in a Canton where
one of the other languages is spoken,
and it stays there until 1t masters that
language.
AS soon as 1t has done so, 1t is
snapped" again for a child living In
a Canton where the third language is
spoken, and so, by the time the youth
gets home again, he can speak and
write three languages. And they have
been mastered at practically no cost
to the parents.
In the city Of Zurich there is an
agency where these exchanges Of chill
dren are effected. A father writes

ing cards is an imperial monopoly. In

cess of this that a petition was ad-

deyotees the Russian soldiers are
conspicuous. They commonly carry
packs in their pockets, but when there
is an actual call to arms and they pre-
pare themselves for the battlefield
they make it point to get rid Of all
