Everyone has to use coal. so a tariff tax on coal affects every fam. fly directly or indirectly. Can any tax be more senseless than to pre- vent competition and the coal com- pines can therefore add that much 10 their profit The Hon William l.
 Douglas, when his term as governor Of Massachusetts had expired. in q speech before the New York Reform Club told why New England de- manded free coal. The duty of e cents a ton on bituminous coal. % said Governor Douglas, clearly protects both the hard and soft coal trusts in New Eng land territory It costs only half as much 70 transport coal from Nova Scotia to Boston as from Virginia or Pennsylvania, even when the railroads give Us square deal With free access Co Nova Scotia coal, the protected trusts  would have to lower their prices or lose our orders.

foregoing an hour or two of sleep to hear these little heralds of the rising sun. The robins sing some of their prettiest songs at mid day, as they sway gracefully on high and slender twigs.
 Another interesting little bird, to watch now, is the phoebe, who sings blithely it's own name, and recalls to our minds the phoebe that Thoreau mentions which had a nest under the Concord bridge, for the phoebe may be found nest building, in somber, se- cluded places, seeking for it's abiding place the shadowy arches of the bridges and dim recesses under the caves and gables of buildings.
 Some of the birds like readymade houses. and the wrens and martens and bluebirds are busily flying in and out of bird houses, wherever these lofty and tiny residences can be found.
 One odd place, which often holds a bluebird's nest, is the hollowed top of a rail fence post.
 A charming little bird has just ar rived in the Killingworth woods that in appearance and habits corresponds exactly with the English red start. But least attractive of all the bird arrivals is the lately come hen hawk --uttering its plaintive cry, almost like the scream of the gull, far up in the air. All the fowls quickly hud- dle into shelter, at the approach of this dread enemy, who has begun, already. his depredations.

WHERE DO THE OLD PIANOS COZ
That Is, When They Get So Old You
 Cant Give Them Away.

What becomes of the old pianos?
 Any piano dealer will take your old piano when you want a new one and will allow a substantial credit on it, even if it is of another make. From time to time the dealers an nounce sales of used pianos All dealers have large stocks of them on hand constantly.
 One piano firm has on exhibition an old fashioned square piano which was made at least half century ago. This piano bears placard to the ef- feet that any one who will pay the carriage may have it for the asking. No one has accepted the offer.
 Suppose no one ever takes that piano off the hands of the dealers who want to get rid of it? What will the dealers do with it? Ob- viOusly with rents as high as they are it wouldn't pay to store a piano you cant give away
 So the question remains; What in the last stage of undesirability, becomes of all the old pianos?-New York Sun.

 A New York church is much stirred up because one of the mem- bers of it's choir sings on the stage during the week. One faction in the church wants her to resign at once.

 Virginia democrats are enieavor- ing to secure an instructed Daniel delegation to the democratic con- vention. The anti-Bryan democrats have only to secure one vote more than third of the Denyel' conven- tion in order to prevent the nomina- ton of the Nebraskan on the first ballot. In that event, the question would be whether or not the field could combine upon one candidate for the second ballot; if unable to do so, stampede to Bryan might naturally be expected. d.-Bridgeport Farmer.

The busiest canal in the world is the St Marys Falls canal connecting Lake Superior with Lake Huron. In 1906 the net tonnage of vessels pass ing through this canal was three times as great as that through the Suez canal and more than seven times as great as that through the Kaiser Wilhelm, or Kiel canal. This is the more noteworthy since the St Marys Falls canal, on account of the severity of the cold, is open to traffic for only about eight months in the year. while the others are open twelve. The increased use of the St Marys Falls canal has been tremen- dous. In 1880 only 1,244,279 tons went through; in 1889, 7,516,022 tons; and in 1906 41,276,S62 tons, an amount 3.217.3 per cent greater than in 1880 and 449.2 per cent greater than in 1889.
