canada's Idea Of Reciprocity,

The Canadians, It is now settled. do
not favor such reciprocity as that de-
manded by the Massachusetts, friends
of reciprocity In the Democratic party.
The Canadians would be perfectly
willing tn have free exchange Of all
raw materials, but they have given
England a preferential tariff and will
not consent to admit American manu-.
features to Canada on fair terms. The
Canadians are doing well as they are,
and are not as eager as formerly for
American business. The Americans,
on their part, are pretty sure to get q
large dose Of Canadian trade, and are
shy Of any such reciprocity as the
Canadians will assent to. since such
reciprocity would be death to the az.
ricultural and other important New
England industries. Lewiston (Me)

yet in the Mckinley law and in the
Wilson-Gorman law and in the Ding

this 1t has been impossible to form a

OF more than ordinary Importance in
the business world that ought to be
known to everybody--two facts that,
standing alone, are sufficient to take

Opinions differ as to what consti-

She must make you feel individual

She must make you feel perfectly

She must never let any one be

She must know just when to ask

be careless and untidy when forced to depend on

Protestants girls than Catholics who are co1nely
and that, class, the handsome Protestant girls
are handsomer than the handsome Catholic girls.
If these two facts are facts then is it reasonable
to ask us to marry the homelier set. j. N.
The first assertion-that beauty in a woman is
great attractions admitted to be a fact.
The second assertion-that Protestant girls. as
class, are pretter than Catholic girls-s denied.
There may be Protestant girls than Catho-
