cANADA's ADVANTAGE

The objections that are being raised in the Canadian city of Dawson over the enforcement of the customs laws at Eagle does not come with very good grace, when it is considered that Cana dians get so many concessions from the United States iu the way of trade privi- Ieges that the Dominion denies to Americans.
 The very fact that three immense cargOes of freight were shipped out of Dawson for the American side of the line iu one week speaks for itself of the advantages Canadian business men are given over Americans in the northern trade through the operation of customs laws and regulations.
 While it might with some force be urged by Canadians that the United States was the frs, country to erect barriers against trade over the juterna- tional boundary, that is no reason why Americans should not have rights trom Canada that their country freely eN- tends Canadians. The merchants of Dawson are permitted to carry Ameri- can goods in bon and on their shelves and Go ship them across the line toI American Yukon points without paying American customs duty. bu, Canadians persisten,iy deny those rights to the merchants in American border towns. I, is possible to build up a town on the British side of the line to trade in American territory, bu, it is impossible for merchants on the American side Of the line to trade in Canadian territory. This is so because the United States permits Canadian merchants the right to deal in American wares while Cana dians hold that when Canadian goods once reach the United States they at once become foreign.
 This thing could be changed. The governmeu. at Washington has the remedy within its own hands. An or der of the treasury department could withdraw such privileges from the Ca naaians that i, would bring them to tn ir kaess immediately. If the ad- minis.ra,iou would determine to have it so, the Canadian government would give the merchants of Skagway permis- sion to carry Canadian goods and wares in bonded warehouses at this city for sale to those on the Canadian side of. the line, and it would be pleased to make the order in order to regain favOrs that could be suspended by the Secre-| tary of the treasury in l5 minutes of letter writing.
 Under all the circumstances, the Ca nadians at Dawson should feel that they are lucky in being permitted to ship any American made merchandise across the line, duty free, at all. They have enjoyed more advantages in the Lower Yukon trade than they are entitled to in view of the monoply their towns in- sis, upon having of the trade of the Cp- per Yukon, and it is up to the Skagway merchants to insist that the strict letter of the law be enforced at Eagle until the Canadians are disposed to meet Americans half way.

not a surprise to their many friends

< STOCK NEWS
Money in Sheep.

There has been considerable dis
cussion of the sheep question
among stockmen during the past
few months and something of n
disposition manifested to revive
this great industry i'll Texas. One
of the buyers connected with the
great Swift packing plant in FIT.
Worth in speaking of the sheep
industry. says.
THE farmers are losing a great
deal of money by not having n
small flock of sheep, say fifty to
100, on the farm. One hundred
ewes could be bought on the yards
at 50 to ~ 30 per head, and these
ewes managed so they would lamb
in January. The lambs would
sell for - 80 20 SO II head before
Easter.
Last month II good many
lambs, averaging 10 pounds, sold
at 81 80 per 100 pounds, or about
SB % per head.
"These same ewes would shear
seven or eight pounds of wool,
worth at least 81, making from
SD 80 to 81 per head for lambs
and wool, and the ewes would be
left to eat up the weeds in the
pasture and clean up the waste in
the wheat and oat fields after you
are through threshing.
THE same thing is open to the
Texas feeder and farmer to fatten
sheep for this market. Hereto
fore there has been no demand for
sheep all the year around, but
Swift g. Co. and Armour Il Co.,
with two large packing plants
here, make the demand good
every working day in the year.
There would be no better IN
vestment for feeders than to feed
sheep for this market during the
months Of November, December,
January, February and March, as
this market is practically bare Of
sheep at that time, and sheep
bring as much as they do at
northern points.
1.-The run from San Angelo
starts about April l and lasts
about four months, leaving about
eight months of the year when
this market is out of sheep.
"Sheep feeders are making
money in northern states feeding
sheep for the market, and why
not here, when you have II market
at your door calling for fat sheep?

A dlsordered stomach may
cause no end of trouble. When
the stomach fails to perform its
functions the bowels become de-
ranged, the liver and kidneys con-
gested, causing numerous diseases,
the most fatal of which are pain
less and therefore the more to be
dreaded. The important thing is
to restore the stomach and liver
to healthy condition, and for
this purpose 70 better preparation
can be used than Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets. For

A Special to the Galveston
News saws:
A. G.. Anderson, of Sheffield,
who has great many sheep on
the Pecos, was in town and re-
ported having had to kill 10000
lambs in order to save the ewes.
The long protracted drouth had
put the range in such poor shape
that the ewes and lambs would
not be able to pull through and
he was forced to sacrifice the
lambs IN order that their mothers
might survive. The men had
killed lambs at the rate of $50
per day until 10,500 were killed.
Instances of this kind are ex-
tremely rare in the annals of
stock raising and are almost un-
known in this country. Mr..
Anderson stated that he had been
compelled once before about ten
years ago to kill his lambs in
order to save the ewes. The re-
cent splendid rains have put the
range all over the stock country
in splendid condition aud grass is
growing nicely,

arising from want of care is that which
results from leaving the plumbing ap-
paratus unused for several weeks or
months, as when the family shuts up
the house for the summer and goes to
some health resort. In few weeks,
says the WestS,n Aychifect, sometimes
in two weeks, the water in the traps
so far evaporates that they are un-
sealed, and then follows stream Of
air into the house, bearing with it mi
cro-organisms which gradually settle
in the layer of fine dust which gathers
on floors, shelves, over doors, gas tx
lures, etc. If, now the family returns
and occupies the house, using only the
ordinary processes Of sweeping, dust
ing, etc., which does not destroy the
germs, but merely scatters them about,
there is serious danger of sickness.
On leaving a'house in this way ar
rangements should be made to have
every fixture in it flushed at least once
a week, and if it be necessary to move
into house which has been for some
time unoccupied, and where you are
not sure that these precautions have
been observed, then thorough
cleansing with cloths wetted with dis
infectant solutionsshould be employed
as matter ofordinary prudence, and
should besapplied to every exposed
surface.

DON'T BE UPprsH.

do not scorn your present tasks
but master the way of doing them
perfectly" says writer who is giving
advice to woman who complains
that she thinks she is fitted for "bet-
ter things" !" but spends all her time
in "the drudgery of housekeeping
The advice is good, but we doubt if
that woman takes it. The woman
who thinks herself fitted ''for better
things" and yet places herself where
she must have the daily cares of house.
keeping has committed grave mis-
take, and the chances are that she is
past all remedies. If she believes
there are any "better things" than
the making of true home she can't
be cured. If she has undertaken on
her own responsibility to do work
which she considers "drudgery," all
the advice ever printed will be of no
effect in her case. But why woman
will let herself get into the habit of
thinking her work is drudgery is one
of the mysteries past explaining.
There's no work in the world that
doesn't have something of daily rou-
tine and of repetition which may be
considered monotonous if the worker
is so disposed to look at the matter.
But the average worker who achieves
success thinks nothing of the daily
routine other than to attend to each
detail with care and precision. The
continued complaining, the continual
wishing for other things, is not one
of the elements for which success in
any line of work may be achieved.
If the housekeeper gave the same
amount of time to planning her work,
to the study of new methods and time
saving devices, she would soon gel
her work systematized so that she
wouldn't need to complain. If she
isn't satisfied with her work, She d
better consider how to do in a salts
factory manner.

ed out the boy, for his father had no
influence in the district, and the boy
had no friends in the school. Still
the boy bore it and did his best, for
he was starving for knowledge.
Zone evening his father told him
that he must shuck load of corn be-

went to the field at q o'clock and be-

moonlight. When he finished is was
nearly school time and he hurried
off without his breakfast. He was
twenty minutes late. She did not

RAT POUND REmARxABIz.

Among the sight not the least in
teresting in the city of Paris is regu-
lar rat pound, where the services OF
the rodents are utilized for removing
the flesh from the carcasses of dead
animals. A horse thrown in over
night is quite stripped by morning
and it is the regular work of men IN
charge 10 remove the beautifully pol
ished bones. Naturally, the rats thus
pampered increase at All amazing rate
and invade the neighboring slaughter
houses. So it becomes necessary at
regular intervals to have a battle.
All around the heavy stone wall OF
the pound are bored thousands OF holes
half the length of rats body. Early
in the morning, while the rats are still
their at work on the skeletons enjoying
meal, raen with lanterns jump sud-
denly in, making a great noise and
clatter. The frightened rats rush for
the nearest refuge and the walls are
soon ornamented with forest OF
whisking tails. Therat collector then
seizes each rat by the tail and deposits
it in bag which he carries over his
shoulder. The skins are largely used
for making gloves.

'THEY HAD A FEW WORDS

When the sunshine of domestic bliss
has become more or less clouded by
quarrels between husband and wife
observersvery often describe the state
of affairs by the euphemism at the
head of this chapter.
"They had a few words''-this is
the immediate cause of many a do
mestic catastrophe. A young man was
sent to Socrates to learn oratory. On
being introduced to the philosopher
he talked so incessantly that Socrates
asked for double fees. "Why'charpe
me double?" said the young fellow.
Because" said Socrates, IT must
teach you two sciences; the one how
to hold your tongue, and the other
how to speak"
1t is immpossible for people to be
happy in matrimony who will not
learn the first of these sciences.
We do not know whether Simonides
W. was l.Zey a vas llQt married H,ap hg1t
used to say that he never regretted
holding his tongue, but very often
was sorry for having spoken. 'Seest
thou man that is hasty in his words1
There is more hope for fool than of
him." Sober second thoughts suggest
palliatives and allowance that temper
prevents us from noticing. The sim
pie act of self-denial in restraining the
expression of unpleasant feelings or
harsh thoughts is the foundation
stone of happy home. For nothing
draws people so closely together as the
constant experience of mutual pleas
ure and nothing so quickly drives
them asunder as the frequent endur-
anceIof pain caused by one. anothers
presence.
Sometimes the husband blames his
wife and the wife the husband when
neither of them is at fault. This al
ways reminds US of Pat s mistake. Two
Irshmen walking along the same
street, but coming from opposite di-
rections, approached, both smiling
and apparently recognizing one an
other. As they came closer they dis
covered that it was mutual mistake.
Equal to the occasion one of them
said, "Och, my friend, / see how it
is. You thought it was me. and I
thought it was you, and now it's
naythur of u.s."
Burtons tells of a woman who,
hearing one Of her "gossips complain
of her husbands impatience, told her
an excellent remedy forit. She gave
her a glass of water, which, when he
brawled she should hold still in her
mouth. She did so two or three
times with great success, and at
length seeing her neighbor, she thank
ed her for it, and asked to know the
ingredients. She told her that it was
''fair water" and nothing more, for
it was not the water, but her silence
which performed the cure.
