The Toronto Sun reports that the rep resentatives Of our newspapers who have gone to Canada to sound the reel procity sentiment found the farmers friendly and the manufacturers hostile to the idea of further extension of free trade relations, and they regarded the latter class. though numerically small, more important politically. The Sun comments: Farmers are not less pow erful politically than manufacturers. The fact that they seem to have less influence in the shaping of our trade relations with our neighbors is due to exceptional causes. Owing to the great development Of our export trade with Britain in farm products, the need of the American market for these is not sosimperative as it was"

coon AND pRospnRous NEGROES

Some negroes know how to take care |of themselves as well as some white
 folks do. A prosperous town where no
 white. man may take up his residence,
 and which is governed and inhabited exclusively by negroes, is located on the Fort Smith and Western railroad in the Creek nation. It is called Boley, and
 contains four hundred law-abiding ne-
 groes, and it is pointed out by those
 who dream of African colonization as a
 model of conditions that might be ob-
 tained if the negroes were all deported
 to the Dark Continent. The place is
 barely a year old, yet it contains two
 churches, a schoolhouse, several large stores and a $5,0OO cotton-gin, owned and controlled exclusively by negroes.
 It has a new passenger station, and the
 railroad company has promised to ern- Iploy a negro ticket agent and baggage master there so that the reputation of

THE BRATvs or CHILDREN.

At what age should children be sent to school? Probably the right answer to this conundrum is, some at one age and some at another, but "educators'' in England are advising that the send ing of children under five years old to school should not be officially encourag- ed. Dr. Clouston of Edinburgh seems to know all about the reasons for such advice. According to Dr. Clouston there is determined period in early life when the brain is in a process of material development This process is not mere ly growth in bulk. The brain is then occupied in taking the microscopic form which it will afterward retain during life, The number of cells is determined before birth, and if one cell is destroy ed it cannot be replaced. "Neyerthe- less, some years elapse before the nerve cells, which were all present at birth, come to take the arrangement and to establish the relations which are char acteristic of any adult brain.'' The child should, therefore, not be subjected to formal intellectual work until the material structure of the organ has talk en it's final form" The average age at which this process is accomplished is seven years.
 This reads we'll and looks reasonable, and yet some children who turned out to be big men went to school before they were seven, or five. Perhaps it is lucky they did. If they hadn't injured their brains in that way perhaps they would have been too big. There are children who think that ten, fifteen or twenty is about the right age for them to begin school.

 The alleged Democratic campaign has
 Halted out so completely that there isn't even much that is funny in it.
 We have watched with interest for
 signs of reaction from the shock 1t got when it was discovered that President
 Roosevelt is such a man of peace that
 he is going to get the Quaker vote and ask for a new and improved peace con-
 gross. But we have not noticed any such signs. All we have noticed is
 some remarks by Judge Parker in an interview published in Success. He is there quoted as saying: "When first attended school the boys had good
 deal of fun shouting 'sorrer and red top It never failed to rouse my fight ing blood, and I lived a strenuous life. |" If. as the wise say, the boy is father of the man, it is possible that Judge Parker. is still strenuous. Can it be that the Democrats, with their usual
 capacity for b1undering, have picked
 out a fighting man for their nominee? The Democratic leaders will do we'll to
 stir their stumps in this matter, Fight ing blood strenuous are not good
 words to be connected with their candi- date at any time in his life. They should not have allowed him to con
 fess that he had ever fought, or even killed a fly or mosquito.

The ship in which Commander Peary is to undertake his next trip in quest of the North Pole is to be modelled es- sentially on the Tram. Nansen's craft. The keel will be of heavy Virginia oak tin1bers, covered with six-inch plank ing of the same oak, and this will be sheathed in iron. The installation of a thousand horsepower engine is to give the vessel more forcing energy when in the thick northern ice. Heretofore the engines on polar ships have been for auxiliary purposes alone. Under a good head of steam the new ship should be able to take advantage of every span of open water, which Arctic storms sometimes provide with surpris- tng suddenness.

Railroads in this country don't have all the trouble there is in the railroad business. Weeds grow so rankly along the Guayaquil and Quito railroad, at the foot of the Andes, in sixty-two miles of jungle, that watering tanks filled with strong solution of arsenic and nitre have to be sent along the track every ten days in the rainy sea- son to spray and so kill the vegetation on each side of the track.

most every night one or more Shedding
parties are cut. They go to the neigh
boring towns or to some farm house to
spend the evening in music and games,
and finish out with an oyster supper or
something of the kind. If it was not
so cold there would be more fun in the
going. But while the music and games
and supper are quite the thing, the go

quite so enjoyable. Then the skating

to be the largest and best equipped in

car axles each day, and the Juniatta

will need 250 new engines this year,
100 of which will he made by the Bald

are building new foundry, in which

run the works for what they could
make, the managers closed them. The

question, though in many ways we
would rather be there than here.
We are having winter in dead earnest

not been bitter cold, but the weather

but very few days during that time
when the sun warmed up the ice upon
the walks. Two weeks ago today the
thermometer registered from 10 to Is
