Il was driven out of England" says
Olive Minis in contribution to the
American Economist. Why? Not
for any crime, not because of any of
tense, or dereliction. Simply because.
as a woman. she could not support
herself in that free trade country. So
she came to this protected country.
With what result she tells most fore

thing for herself No Americen can
read the story told by Miss Milns
without feeling of pride at the tri
butte which she pays to the superior
conditions which prevail here in rela

can reject her conclusion that it is
because of protection that women find
in our country opportunities and pos

lessness and without sleeplessness the
body must go to rest fully nourished,
and good meal some three or four
hours before retiring is a great help
to assure good sleep at night
1t is interesting to note that the
writer does not condemn the old-fash-
Toned -nightcap" of whisky or brandy
and water, and states that two table
spoonfuls of either in two-thirds of a
tumbler of soda or plain water are a
great help toward a reposeful night,
especially as age advances. People
should not, he considers, ignore the
Importance of rest before their meals,
and if one is feeling over-tired before
lunch or dinner it is most desirable to
sit down quietly for ten minutes.

half water with a spoonful of brandy
in it will stimulate the system and

Simple meal. He is emphatic on the
Importance of eating slowly and allow

Digestion, as he points out will occupy

not desirable to go to bed on an empty

What Broke the Spell

Around the setting sun the sea rolled
like molten furnace, deepening away
from fire to crimson to purple, from
purple to gray, and so on to the SHIN
mering black mirror that answered to
the pickering lights of the incoming
procession of stars. Far out from
land belated fishing boat stole slow
ly harborward, its red and. its green
light mere specks of color on the vast
surface of the rocking water. A cool
wind blew in shore and brought with
lit the sound of whistles from the out
bound steamers in the dim distance
In one direction the lights of the great
city could be seen as a blur of bright
ness, indistinct and spectrallike. upon
the darkness of the summer sky.
To the man on the beach the scene
seemed too glorious for words, and his
soul was caught up by its beauty and
lifted far above the dross and com
monness of this wicked world. In that

Mans Need Of Rest

In commenting on the well-authenti-
Gated statement that Theodore MomMA-
sen, the famous German historian,
slept only about three hours a day
during the last twenty years of his life
and yet attained to the ripe old age
of Sc, a specialist in nervous diseases
said that this remarkable record could
undoubtedly be attributed to Momm-
sens extraordinary intellectual devel-
opment and intense absorption in his
work.
Contrary to the popular notion"
the physician continued 1.-The more
highly developed is a mans intellect
the less sleep he will require. The
reason is that when all of lifes forces
are centered in the intellect there is
much less wear and tear on the body
than is the case when a more animal
life Is led. When the body is used
merely as a means to a higher end
and not INDUCED for its own sake. it
will respond in an astonishing manner
to the tasks that are placed upon it.

4 am not what you would call 9
religious man, but can testify that it
is Individually true that behind the
body is a something-call it intellect
spirit, or soul, just as you please
that has a power over the body that is
practically unlimited; at least 1 should
hesitate to place any limitation upon
1t. And when a man lives in his in
tellect. soul or spirit, his body is not
only subjected to a minimum need OF
repair, but it can be used up to the
maximum of it's capacity.
''Mommsen lived entirely for his
work, and his intellect was so highly
trained that it probably worked almost
automatically. All his physical forces
were enlisted in the service of his
intellect, and as he followed the same
daily routine for years its power was
enhanced by the wonderful force OF
habit. 1t is little wonder, then, that
he thrived on only three hours sleep
a day.

rangement. 1t would have been bet
ter worth while for Mr.. Mckinley to
have allowed tin plates to remain to
us, provided, on his side, he had en-
ployment for American workmen to
a larger extent in some other industry
in which America was interested
We think Mr.. Chamberlain is mis-
taken in supposing it possible to have
made such dicker with Mr. McKin-
ley, just as we think he will expert
ence great difficulty in persuading the
colonies to refrain from industrial de-
Felopment along lines that conflict
witsh British production. The tenden-
cy of live, progressive peoples of the
AnglO-SaXOn race is to make things
for themselves, not to pay foreigners
for making them. Mr.. Mckinley had
the sagacity to see in, tin plate the
possibilities of a new and valuable
industry if suitably safeguarded by a
protective tariff, and it is idle to sup
pose that he could have been persuad-
ed to side track his splendid project
because of any trade dicker which
Great Britain could possibly have pro-
posed. Neither do we think that Can
ada and Australia will consent to
stifie their own industrial develop
ment in return for the proffer of tar
iff preferences on their natural
products. Mr.. Chamberlain will un-
doubtedly succeed in displacing free
trade and installing protection, but he
has yet to learn what protection is
not, and that the old plan of keeping
the colonies in state of industrial
subsection and dependency will not
work. The world is moving too fast
for that.

Once upon time a cricket was sit

great rate, when it happened for the
first time to hear the ticking of clock
that had been put on the mantel over
head a day or two before. Then, brtm-
ming with curiosity the cricket man
aged after great difficulty to reach the
mantelpiece,, where it leaned against
the timepiece and listened very atten-
lively.

A CALENDAR WATCH.
The First One Cost $2,6oo-Made fos
Napoleon Bonaparte.

Napoleon Bonaparte.
A watch that tells the second, min
ute, hour. day of the week, day of the
month, and changes of moon, is a time
piece that until recently could be
owned only by the nobility because OF
the high cost. The first one cost
$1,000 and was made entirely by hand
and consumed over two years time in
construction. About so years later a
Swiss concern placed some on the
market which could be sold in this
country for about 5000 each.
This watch that has hitherto been
sold at price which only the well-to
do could afford, has just been put on
the market at a low price and it is a
watch which fills a long felt want If
watch tells us the hour and the min
ute OF the day, why should not the
same machine tell US the day of the
week, day of the month, and month OF
the year? A prominent manufactures
has realized the usefulness, If not the
actual necessity of such time-piece,
and by simplifying the mechanism and
arranging to turn them out in large
quantities, has, after several years OF
work and the expenditure of a large
amount of money, succeeded in produc-
Ing watch thoroughly reliable in
every way. This watch is a perpetual
calendar as well as a time-piece, and
what is of more interest to the public,
is sold at price but fraction above
that of an ordinary watch of like
grade.
Contrary to the supposition of the
uninftiated, it is not an intricate as
sembly of complicated parts, but is as
simple as any regular time-piece. On
the dial, in addition to the small Sec
ond dial, it has three small dials of
like character, one showing the days
of the week, another the days of the
month, while third shows the month
OF the year. By an ingenious attach
ment to one of the wheels, when the
hour and minute hands show midnight,
the small hands Indicating the days of
the week and the days of the month,
move forward automatically one day,
thus saving the wearer the necessity
of changing the calendar attachment,
and in consequence the watch needs
no care or attention after being once
correctly set except to be wound regu-
1arly. The manufacturers have been
quick to appreciate the certainty of
large demand for this article in this
country and have arranged to market
them through Dellhart Mnfrs. & Trad
ers, Ltd, prominent New York house
who, as an Introductory measure will
furnish them direct to the public. An
article that so completely fills the
want has seldom been seen, and has
hitherto been utterly disregarded by
manufacturers. 1t can consistently be
said that for usefulness and reliability
this is one of the most attractive ar
ticles in the watch line.
An advertisement setting forth the
merits of this watch appears else
where in these columns.

The fear has been expressed il
some quarters that a food tax in Eng
land will lessen the market value OF
our exports of agriculture. Singular.
ly enough this sort of opinion comes
from those who have all their lives
held that the consumer pays the tax.
1t cannot be denied that a British tax
on food might have some effect on the
price of our agricultural exports, but
it would be because of a lowered con-
sumption on account of higher British
prices, and not because the Britisher
can transfer his import tax to the
American producer-Kansas City
