 The trouble in America has, I think. arisen principally from the fact that we supply the Continent or Europe with books below actual cost, and consequently below the amount paid by the American Society to our selves. As a consequence we found re- gently that these Continental supplies were being drawn upon by American purchasers, and as we did not onsid- CT this quite fair we lave taken steps to stop this exportation.

 With Miss Kenney, another Of the leaders of the Votes for Women" movement she was travelling to Can nes, and met Sir Henry quite accident ally in the dining-car. The two "suf- fragettes" introduced themselves to the Prime Minister and got him to talk. Miss Gawthorpe writes:
 "sr Henry was sitting down in the dining-car waiting for his tea and looking abstractedly out of the win dow. Annie Kenney and also went into the dining-ca car and spotted him immediately. We sat down at the same table as he did. and ere long we all en- gagged in conversation. "He did hot for moment suspect who he was talk ing to, and he replied to casual ques- tions put to him on ordinary subjects quite cheerfully for about ten minutes. Annie spoke to him quite pleasantly, but the humor of the situation was too much for me, and I couldn't help laughing. This appeared to surprise and puzzle him. After a time l said, I guess you don't know who we are.' He looked at us for few seconds and then said. No, you have the advantage of me- When we revealed our fdent- ity to him, he appeared highly amused and then We tried to draw him into conversation on the Votes for Women topic.

The Empress Marie is work ing hard to foster the entente between England and Russia. and a mar ritge forming another tie between the royal houses she thinks would be a great factor in cementing Anglo Russian friendship Princess Victoria has met the Grand Duke several times, and is intimate with the Czarina, who was playmate of hers in childhood. She Is some eight years older than the Grand Duke, who was born in 1878. The Princess is very popular in Eng land.

recovered from an attack of malarial
fever and went into the country for her
health. Two weeks ago she returned.
Last night she was seized with violent
pains in her side. This morning at four
o'clock physician was summoned but
the pains went to her heart. Death
ensued about six o'clock.
The deceased was aged IA years, II
months and II days. She was a pupil
in the seventh grade of the Fair Oaks
school. Miss Esther was very pretty
girl and was loved by all who knew her.
Her death has cast deep gloom over
her schoolmates.
Besides the grief stricken parents, a
brother and four sisters survive her in
the family. The funeral and interment
will take place at II o'clock at East
Union near Lathrop tomorrow.

"a, 1870, at Knoxville, ILL.,, and died June
20, 1907, aged SO years, 10 months and
20 days.
He with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. W..
Fl. Sipherd, moved to farm near
which is now Grand River in March
1872.
He spent his boyhood days and at

and it was while performing his dnty
that he fell and received the injury
that resulted in his death, dying thirty
two hours after the accident after suf-
fering the most excruciating pain. He
was conscious until the last and repeat
eddy expressed his belief in his Savior
and that he knew in whom he had be-
lieved and that which he had committed
to his cause. He left loving messages
to those most dear to him on earth,
hoping to meet them just across the
river where there would be no more
partings.
He leaves wife and little daughter,
a mother, three sisters and three broth
ers besides a host of friends to mourn
his departure.

Banana Dread.

Bread made from banana -four is
common enough In Europe and Eng
land. One pound is said to contain
more nourishment and energy produc-
Ing material than one pound of the
finest beefsteak, Is much more digest
ible and less than one-sixth the price.
Sir Henry Stanley was firm believer
in the banana. He went SO far as to,
advise that its consumption would cure
rheumatism, govt and all liver affec-
tons. When lying at the point of
death from gastritis light cruel Of
banana -four mixed with milk was the
only food he could retain and digest.
The secret Of the banana as a health
and strength producing food lies in its
high percentage Of proteids and the
great number of its calories, respective

The sunnbird.

Very curious are the nests of the sun
bird, scarcely larger than a butterfly.
1t chooses some exposed spot, probably
close to the public road, and proceeds
to build on an overhanging twig. The
finishing touches being put to the small
abode, it is left, according to one au-
thority, severely alone until spiders
have woven their webs over and around
it. Another naturalist says that the.
birds themselves turn ragmen and, COL
lecting any rubbish they can find in the
way Of moss. faded leaves, ends of cot
ton and other such trifles, stick them
on the outside Of the nest by means Of
pieces Of purloined webs. In either
case the result Is the same, and they
make their future home a thoroughly
disreputable object. Then, and not till
then, does the little hen sunbird lay
her two greenish white eggs, which she
matches under the shelter Of a small
porch which has been constructed over
the nest, shielding her from sun and
rain,
