NO sNAkEs IN CANADA.
The Great Fofssts Are elnsularly Free from Reptiles.

A curious thing about Canadian for. ests is that there are no snakes, and even from description the Indian guides did not seem to understand what snake would be like.
 Fishing all through Canada is as good as the hunting, and should one fail to bag moose he is fully recom- pensed for the trip by the abundance of other game. including bear and deer. There Is weird melancholy about Canadian forests, with their hundreds of small lakes and rivers scattered here and there, and although the scenery never rises to the magnif1- cent, there is something haunting, aside from the sport in it, that draws the hunter back season after season. Canada is filled with legends and strange superstitlons, most of them of Indian origin, and all of them interest ing to a degree, especially when re lated by one of the Indian guides who can be induced to talk.-Leslie's Weekly.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-01-07

Senator Hemmenway of Indiana proposes to appoint commercial trav- elers as American consuls in foreign countries. and the proposition sounds most commendable. During the past fifteen or twenty years a gradual change has been going on in the se- lection of persons for consular pur- poses. For about century the idea prevailed that all that was needed in a consul was some one to occupy the place and occasionally to look after shipwrecked American sailors.
 With that idea of the little impor- tance of the place it is not to be wondered at that broken down ward politicians were selected for the minor positions, and broken down literary men for the more important ones. IL might be said, in passing. that as a rule, the appointees carried out the American idea of consulate importance. Tn those days it was never dreamed that consul should in any way assist in finding market for American products. and he never did. A few years ago the necessity for change became so apparent that a closer scrutiny was exercised in making selections for consular posi- tions. but still our consular service has not been raised to the high stand ard of efficiency it ought to possess. America has come to be the great producer of the world and foreign markets are a necessity to use LID our surplus. Those markets must be ob- tained or there will come a season of financial depression such as the eoun- try has never witnessed. A great over-production without a market means the closing down of mills. re- duction of wages. and throwing Of millions of idle men upon the streets of our cities. as was witnessed fin 1893 and 1894 A system of wide awake. alert, enterprising eonszls means a wider and greater market. a wider and greater market means continued prosperity. Commercial travellers are familiar with what Americans have to sell: they would be quick to see how changes should he made in manufacture. packing and shipping to meet the requirements of the people of those countries vho

A Skating One.

Yvette Guilbert. the famous French actress, is an excellent skater. In the Bois de Boulogne, in Paris, there is an ice rink where Mme. Guilbert's skating is one of the principal attractions;
 Talking about skating in New York one day, Mme. Guilbert said:
 Tt is only through perseverance that one learns to skate we'll. I am sure no one ever suffered more than lin learning to skate.
 T remember one day in my girl hood, the second or third time I had ever been on the ice, I was returning home in a crowded omnibus, and a kind old man got up and offered me his seat.
 T shook my head, and the old man laughed good deal when T. said:
 "'No, thank you. I've been skating, and I'm tired of sitting down."

Longing for Country Life.

A strange thing is the universal longing of professional men and others who have come to the city and have prospered as they advance in life to get back to the country. It is seldom that they do return. and when they do there is often disappointment and things do not appear as they did long ago. The change is in the man him. self, but he thinks 1t is in the country. Nevertheless, the desire to get back to the old country place to end ones days is very general Sir Walter Scott refers to it and compares the course of a man through the world to that of the hare which is started from her lair and after long chase and mak- ing a large circle ends by returning to the nest from which she started.

MONDAY, JAN 2, 1907.

The United States is progressing so rapidly in the production of iron that it promises to lead all other countries combined. In the year 1905, the latest one for which figures are avail able, total of 53,997,965 tons oi iron were produced by the various countries of the world, the United States leading with 22.992,3S0 tons. While the production of iron in the United States increased largely from 1904 to 1905, this cannot be said of the other countries, for they turned out but little more iron in 1905 than in 1904. Germany follows the United States in the production of iron, turn ing out 10,9S7,6S3 tons in 1905; England comes next with 9,592,737, followed by France, Russia, Austria Hungary and Belgium with 5000, ,000 tons down to 100000 tons. Swe- den, Spain, Canada, Italy, Japan and India bring up the rear with produc- tions ranging downward from 527,- 300 tons to 47,042 tons.

The Potato Monument,

"1f I ever get rich enough to present the city of New York with a manu- mert l am going to give a copy of one saw in Germany this summer" said a man who travels. That is the most sensible thing in the statue line I ever saw. It is monument to potatoes. It is certainly unique. The upper part consists of statue to Sir Francis Drake. who Is revered for having in- troduced the plant into Europe. This. as well as 'he pedestal, is draped with sarlands of the potato vine. with the full grown tubers intact. On the ped estal are inscriptions. The first sets forth that the aboTe figure is Sir Francis: the second explains in words of highest praise what a blessing the potato has been to mankind: the third records that the statue is the gift of certain Andrew Frederick. of Stras- burg: the fourth contains the names of the erectors. It strikes me that a monument to some valuable product of nature is much more appropriate than all the stone eftfgies Of celebrities that cluster our parks at the present time.

SCOTCH LAD GOT EVEN,
He Turned the Joke on the Yankee
 Tourist.

An American tourist on a visit to Glasgow, on emerging from the rail- way station. was accosted by a lad with the familiar shout of Carry your bag, sir?'
 The gentleman handed the boy the bag and requested to be shown through Glasgow. -
 Crossing Georges square, they came opposite to Sir Walter Scott's monu- ment. and the boy said proudly:
