AMERICAN BACON IN NORTH
It is Regarded as inferior TO That
Produced in Canada--Prices
Higher Grade Better.

Consul Harvey, of Fort Eric,
on the Canadian shore opposite
Buffalo, sheds some new light on
the much discussed subject Of
American bacon in Canada, giving
the statement of some live stock
men that Canadians often buy
an inferior grade Of hogs that are
rejected by American packers.
which may account for part of the
general complaint against the ami
mails from the states. Canadian
packers, however, are particular
about the animals they kill for ex-
port, as Canada cured bacon sells,
the consul states, higher in Great
Britain than any other except the
Danish. American packers should
also note the statement that Cana
dian bacon is cured more than
that of the United States, which
takes but a few hours, while the
Canadian process takes days.
American bacon sells lower than
the home product at Fort Erie aft
er paying two cents per pound
duty.
No beef cattle are exported to
the states from this district. Beef
retails three cents higher per
pound than in Buffalo. Among
farm products going to Buffalo are
lambs, calves, hides, live poultry
and clover, timothy and blue grass
in considerable quantity. for ra-
cling purposes 800 to 900 American
horses are sent here annually,
while 81 Canadian horses, valued
at $19,675, were exported from
Fort Erie last year to Buffalo
and New York city. These lat
ter were coach, draught, driving
and hunting horses.
The largest article of export
from that district is natural gas.
which is produced in large quaint
ties. Most oft is piped to Buffalo,
the amount being estimated at
100000 cubic feet per day.

A CEMETERY FOR CANNES
Burying Ground in London Where
All Epitaphs on Graves Are True
Examples Are Quoted.

"There is cemetery in London
where all the epitaphs that are
written on the tOmbstanes are
true" says a writer in Technical
World Magazine. "Of course it
is not a cemetery for human be
ings, for when these die, no mat
ter how base the lives they have
lived, the inscriptions ON their
tombs usually have a tone of
euphemistic eulOgy. This is 4
dogs cemetery. 1t is located in a
little, secluded spot, right in the
heart of the great city. People,
even strangers, when they read
these epitaphs, often shed tears,
for they know that they are true.
Marble never marks the resting
place of dog that was not worthy
of all that is written about him.
Here are some of the inscriptions
one may read;
'Curly-He pinned for his mis-
tress, and died a faithful friend
"'She brought the sunshine
into our lives, but took it away
with her.
TO our gentle, lovely little
Blenheim-Jane.'
"Dear old Topsy, for over 16
years the faithful friend of Sir
- and his family-LOved, la
mented and respected
"There are men both good and
wise, who say that dumb crea-
lures we have cherished here be
low shall give us kindly greeting
when we have passed the Golden
Gate.'
"'Our Robin-Only good night,
dear One!-She talked with soft
brown eyes more eloquent than
speech"
And there are hundreds of
other heartfelt expressions of
tender sentiment. Nothing there
is conventional. The reader
knows they are genuine"

Biz for County Sealer.

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER:
Last weeks Republican contained
an unsigned article in regard to
some scales in or about Cresco. Now
I have found out that it was meant
for the scales at the stock yards, and
would say that the Railroad Co. furn-
ishes the scales, which are one of the
best 5000 lbs., double beamed scales of
the Fairbank make, and / don't think
that any fair minded man would say
that it is made to beat any farmer
out of his property, but like all scales
used out OF doors is liable to get out
of order at times which is not the
fault Of the scales.
Now in order to keep up the good
reputation we have had, l would sug-
gest that the County Sealer would be
authorized to frequently examine
these scales and publish his report
which should put stop to these false
statements that some worthless
people feel at liberty to circulate, as
it is to the interest of all the business
men OF Cresco that an honest business
is done at the stock yards.
/ would also say that the circulators

BARBARoUs ANCIENT CUSTOM.

An English court has sen tenced woman to simprison- ment because she refused to speak during a trial. The old penalty for remaining mute un- der similar conditions was being pressed to death. The form of sentence set forth "the prisoner shall be laid in some low, dark house, where he shall lie naked on the earth and one arm shall be drawn to one quarter of the house. with cord, and the other arm to another quarter; and in the same manner let it be done with his legs; and let there be laid upon his body iron and stone, as much as he can bear or more." There the man had to lie. On the following day he was given three morsels of bread without water; on the fol lowing, water, but no bread. And this was his diet until he died.

CHEAP FOOD IN MAINE:

Many of the newspaper articles on the cost of yachting are gross iy exaggerated. You can live very well on the Maine coast at a cost of four dollars a week per mouth, says Country Life in America. This involves catching a certain amount of fish yourself and likewise digging clans and quohogs. l assume, however. that you will find those pursuits a part of your pleasure
 Fresh vegetables, fruits, eoes and wonderful milk may be ob- tajned of the natives at mirth- provoking prices. For example. a peck of green peas picked while you wait may cost 20 cents. or a quart of milk and half peck of new potatoes may come to q quarter, with rhubarb and soda biscuit thrown in to make good measure. Fresh meats, of course. can be had only at the larger 'harbors, but unless truly epicur- can in taste you will be content to fill out the menu with occa- sional canned supplies.

STRANGE COINCIDENCE.

Readem-Hello, old man, You're looking smiling and hap py this morning. Whats the cause?
 Writem-Why, my new play was presented last night. Weren't you there? Too bad. Really, you missed the greatest first night of the season. The audience applauded till their hands were sore.
 Readem-Good! Shakel
 Writem-Much obliged, but Pm breaking in new pair of gloves and my hands are rather tender.-Paeific Monthly.
