The complaint against the Amer ican silver nuisance" has grown so great in Canada that an arrangement for banishing our coin from the De- minion has been put in operation. Canadian banks will hereafter ship American silver of all denominations back to this country. It is computed that about s1,000,000 in United States silver is now scattered over Canada. One reason offered for Ca- nadian hostility to American coins is the treatment given to Canadian pieces on this side of the line. Pro- scription of Canadian money has not been universal in this country. New ertheless it has been sufficiently marked in some states bordering on the line to provoke feelings of retail iation. This new move of Canada in discrediting our silver will doubtless lead to a closer scrutiny of Canadian coins in places where they have hith- erto been accepted without hesita- tion.

The rate situation is about as clear as it has been in the past fort night. That is, shout as clear as the wake of cattle stampede on a dusty day, says one writer No one dares oppose the legislation, but the railroads are determined to have the rate bill shaped to suit their ends, and those ends of course will be served by any provision for a court review that will enable them to take the unlucky shipper into court and wear him out in litigation. Some of the supposedly opposition senators have come out so strongly for the rate bill since the incorporation of a re- view amendment seems assured that one is tempted to wonder whether after all that was not the thing they were waiting for and that a loop hole being once assured. they were willing to overwhelm the Hepburn bill with all sorts of drastic provis- ions, knowing quite well from the start that they would never be apt to get in the way of the railroads.

Of course it will be a good thing
 for the navy to have the largest and
 most effective fighting ship atoat
 and nobody will grudge the new ten
 million dollar battIeship the honor
 if she proves herself to be al the
 head of the worlds fighting class.
 But since the public prints have chosen in several instances to pick
 out the Texas in comparison with the
 new monster on paper, il may be
 well 10 remember how the Texas
 showed up the only time she had
 chance to get into a real fight. l.
 will be recalled that after the Texas
 was commissioned, she developed
 cracks in her armcr plates. Her en-
 zines were all out of gear. There
 was a time when it was seriously dis cussed whether she could not be con- verted into a target ship and shot to pieces for practice by the better ships in the navy. Yet on the day al Santiago when Cervera's fleet broke out. the old crippled Texas developed remarkable staying pow CTS She was credited with landing the first ten inch shell aboard the Reina Mercedes that put that ship out of business. Then she jumped out in the chase of the Spanish feet and distaneed the Indiana. which was her superior in class and Ion paperD much the best vessel Crippled as she was and defective as she was. she stayed in that fight all day and delivered the goods as promptly as the best Of the ships in the block- ading squadron She vas the worst ship on paper and the best ia action that has been recorded for a long time. and when the pseudo naval sharps draw diagrams Of her show ing how she Is only half as big and . sixth as effective as the proposed new battIeshiP. they might have the courtesy to remember she has a rec ord ia actual fighting that few shfrs can equal + is just possible that he hoEs bshird the guns ca the TeNzs and the boys in the ssokeh0Id had sozeShiax to do Wfth her show ing On that zszorzbBe July norning- But the fact rszzias thst the xrfspSe

WEDNESDAY, APRIL II, 1908.

President Eliot of Harvard takes a lofty view of the question as to the amount of salary a man ought to receive for good work. According to him, the best man for any large service is the man who has such a natural taste and faculty for that kind of work that he would take it and keep 1t without very keen atten- tion to the size of his salary, provid ed the amount is sufficient to secure for him suitable mode of comfort able life and suitable provision for old age or disability. We suppose this explains exactly why President Eliot is content with a salary of only $10,000 a year.

Duty Bound.
A Waterbury Citizen Wants Everybody to Know
 of His Wonderful Cure,

The business man in his hurry to get about will not masticate his food properly. He will bolt it, so to speak.
 REMEMBER that the stomach will stand only so much bad treat ment. It will rebel itself by refusal to digest after a while. This means distress and pain in the stomach, gases, general discomfort and bad headaches. You can prevent this condition to become chronic by time ly treatment with Dr Richards's Dys- pepsia Tablets, whose reputation is to cure dyspepsia and all other stom- ach and bowel disturbances.
 Mir w. H. Bergin of 434 East Main street, Waterbury, Conn, says:
 ''I have been cured of bad case of indigestion and feel as if it was my duty to let the world know that l have been cured. I was subject to vomiting and sick headaches for years, and my general health was be- coming very much impaired. I was induced to purchase a bottle of Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets at Apothecaries' Hall and began to gain and feel better before it was half gone. I am now on my fifth and last bottle of this grand remedy, for I don't think it will be necessary for me to take any more as feel that I am entirely cured.

The Queen of Sweden is deeply religious woman who holds strong evangelical opinions; it is through her influence that the Salvation Army has had greater success in Sweden than in any other country. Queen Sophie does not enjoy good health, but she is beloved for her goodness and kindness of heart. She is greatly assisted in her religious duties by her second son, Prince Os- car, of Sweden.-New Haven Journal and Courier. -~--
 AS showing how Italians are mak- ing their farming pay, it is noted that Joseph Paschetti, living near Meadowbrook, L. l., has within few months made over $16,000 out of nothing. That is, he had a lease of small tract, and had his winter crops in the ground and green truck planted, when Mrs o. H. P. Belmont, enlarging her estate, gave him $1,- 900 to surrender his lease. He bought a s5,000 farm and has just sold it for s21,S00.-Meriden Jour- nal.
 One hundred and thirty thousand dollars is the amount sent by the American Red Crcss society to the Japanese Red Cross for the benefit of the famine sufferers in Japan. The Red Cross societies are, perhaps, the best agencies possible through which these collections can be distributed and reach those who are most sorely in need of them. The United States has done nobly in this matter and the Japanese are not likely to forget such benefits. Indeed they have al- ready acknowledged them in way to show that they are: deeply inn pressed by the sentiment which has prompted them. Practical Christian ity does its work effectually.-- Bridge port Standard.

old Hurley by Operation.
 TOLEDO, O., April 11.-Skilled sur geons at St. Vincent's hospital have transformed Harold Hurley, the bad boy, into Harold Hurley. the good boy. A few days ago Harold, aged twelve, who was slated for the Lancaster Re form school. was taken to the hospital, and after an operation that removed the pressure on his brain he was taken home changed boy, different in thought, acts and even appearance.
 Harold has been problem to his mother and to the juvenile court off, cials for some time. Ale was appar- ently incorriglble. Probation Officer Dilgart got look at Harold recently and discovered peculiar scar on the boys forehead. Inquiry developed that when five years old Harold stumbled and. striking his head upon a stone, sustained fracture of the skull.
 Gradually he became bad. His moth CT exhausted every resource known to lllOlHtT loNt, bul III Ndll IldIOiu ouls became more unmanageable. Digart suggested an operation, and he was taken to the hospital.
 After the operation the lads facul. ties gathered slowly. He became sweet tempered. thoughtful, kind little child. His whole life has been chang ed. and he rejoices in new mind and new soul. He will not be sent to Lancaster
 "The most wonderful change brought about by this operation" said his moth CT. ''is the restoring of his affection. Ever since that fall. when he was five years old, he has seemed to have no affection for any one and would not endure the betting which other chill dren love. Now the child's affection has all come back. He is gentle. obedi- ent and sweet-an absolutely different boy"

DAMAGE


Still othe rcases of vandalism are
coming to light as the result of the
raid Sunday night. A jar of preserves
was hurled through one of the windows
at the home of Hon. w. H. Holiday,
Fourth and Garfield streets. DR.. Mil
Ter was in the act of pulling down a
shade to one of the windows of his
T%hornburgh street residence when a
stone came hurting through the pane,
scattering broken glass right and left.
A plate glass in a window at the new
home of Rudolph Kleeman, Fifth and
Grand avenue, was broken. entailing
considerable loss, as it was of peculiar
size and excellent quality. The police
are busy at work, with hope of bring
ing to light the culprits and a surprise

WHY THE SCARF PIN eIFTs7
The Hotel Clerk Laments a Lack OF
Human Ingenuity.

Il wonder why" unused the hotel
clerk, as he dickered with his tie in
front of a mirror fixed in the office.
Il wonder why whenever anybody
wants to give me a present he sends
me a scarf pin. If / never wore a pin
l could understand it. But l always
and sometimes when / look
at the collection 1 have at home, l get
desperate and want to wear half a
dozen at a time. Guests who come
here and receive courtesies always
show their gratitude by sending me a
scarf pin and, In q way, it's becoming
embarrassing.
For instance, one man gave me a
VOLTS head pin made of oxidized silver
with rubies for the eyes. 1t was a
beautiful pin. l could see people look
ing at it yards away when / was out,
but one day 1 wore another and the
man who gave me the VOLTS head
blew in from Chicago and was quite
hurt. Now l never know what pin to
wear. 1t just shows how wealth has
it's responsibilities"

Ancient European Universities.

While Harvard was dedicating its
new medical school buildings the Uni
'versity of Aberdeen was celebrating
the four hundredth anniversary Of its
foundation. Four hundred years seems
"a most respectable antiquity to Amer
leans, but In reality Aberdeen is
among the younger Of the distin.
'guished European universities. Just
when Cambridge was founded is a
question for antiQuarians to settle, but
even If we doubt the accuracy of the
statement that 1t dates as an organ
lied seat of learning from the year
l635 we know that it was the resort OF
scholars in those dim, dark days
whose records are scanty chronicles.
Oxford claims more than 1000 years
of authentic history and the Univer.
sity of Paris asserts seniority over
Oxford. Bologna is almost twice the
age of Aberdeen.

he has been playing steadily ever
since, part of the time professionally.
For several years he has been a
regular feature at the Ninth and Arch
streets museum and he will play there
again this year.. He meets all corners
and rarely loses a game.
