AMERICAN BACON IN NORTH
Il q Regarded IS inferior 10 That
Produced in Canada-Pnoes
Higher Grade Better.

Consul Harvey, Of Fort Erie,
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 thatCana-
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 poultrt
and clover, timothy and blue grass
in considerable quantity for ra
cling purposes 800 to 800 American
horses are sent here annually
while 81 Canadian horses, valued
at $l9,675, were exported from
Fort Erie last year to Buffalo
and New York city. These lat
ter were coach, draught, drivin.
and hunting horses.
The largest article of expor
from that district is natural gas
which is produced in large quaint
ties. Most of it is piped to Buffalo
the amount being estimated a:
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 a 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 a
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 a dog that was not worthy
of all that is written about him.
Here are some of the inscriptions
one may read:
"'Curly-He pined 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 II
years the faithful friend of Sill
- and his family-Loved, la
mented and respected
"There are men both good ans
wise, who say that dumb crea
lures we have cherished here be
low shall give us kindly greetinl
when we have passed the Colder
Gate.'
"'Our RObin-Only good night
dear one-She talked with sof
brown eyes more eloquent thai
speech"
And there are hundreds o
other heartfelt expressions o
tender sentiment. Nothing Their
Is conventional. The reade
knows they are genuine"

..lmmOrtaI ]. N. Dead.

Toledo, O., June 27.-J. N. Free,
known all over the country as the
"Immortal J.. NJ" died today in
the Ohio state hospital for the insane.
The Immortal j. N" Free was adj
judged insane in Upper Sandusky, O.,
March 20, and 81 mt to the state hos
pital for the insane in Toledo. This
action came after 1.-THE immortal j..
NJ" for that is the name by which
he preferred to be called had spent
bis life 10 a vain endeavor to put on
the pressure" and Gift the veil" He
was IS years old and his health has
been very poor for many pears.
1.-THE Immortal J. N" has travelled
all over the United States and hts
never had to pay railroad fare, Even
the rate bill could not have stopped
the railroads from giving passes to
"theBImmortal ] N )" for it has
been a habit with them for the last
three decades. Hotel keepers also
knew him and he seldom found 1t
necessary to pay for accommodations
THE Immortal ]. N" believed
himself to be immortal. He had a
theory that sometime the pressure Of
the universe might be applied too
suddenly and the earth be destroyed
His Immortality he held contingent
upon this "pressure." 1t was hi
duty, he thought, to warn the people
OF the time "when the veil will bt
lifted aud the prejudice removed anC
all humanity stopped for a million
years
In the Civil war "The Immortal j
!, N" conceived the idea OF applying
ing the pressure" to Jefferson Davit
and stopping the war. He got inside
r the Confederate line and was cap
tured by Wheeler's cavalry. A Con
federate captain gave him thirty
seconds to leave the Confederacy. 90
still have twenty-nine and one'hal
seconds coming to me-" said Free n
= telling Of the incident. He could no
say why 1.-THE pressure" failed to work
1.-THE Immortal J, N" was NOR,
