The Free Trade Cry.

The revolt in many nations against high
tarifr is a significant thing IN view Of the
trouble and political turmoil that are pre-
voked by the same question IN this
country. In Western Canada the farmers
are stirred up against the tariff policy
Of the Dominion. averring that the tariff
Increases the cost OF living-as il I'M
doubtedly does-and makes life a burden
TO them. It Is recognized by the Cana
dian politicians that something will have
to be done for their relief. Sir wilfrid
Laurier the premier OF Canada. declares
that he would like to give Canada free
trade as Great Britain knows it. but that
difficulties are in the way. It is suffi-
cient to note. however. that he does not
believe In high tariff
In France there is a rising tide OF pop
ular opinion in favor Of free trade such as
Great Britain enjoys, and IN Germany
there IS so much organized opposition TO
the policy or protection that the govern
ment is bound to take cognizance OF It.
great free trade league has been formed
in Germany: the ocial-Democrats are de
handing that the tariff be reduced the
Liberals are echoing the cry. and the pro-
.fessors Of economies and the German
scholars are telling the people Just how
the tariff makes for higher cost Of living.
In Germany the problem Of everyday
living has become much more acute than
1t is in this country. or even in England
Whether it is due to the tariff or not, the
fact remains that many of the people are
living on horse meat. OF course Ger
many's immense military and naval es-
Establishments have something 20 do with
the burdens of.the peoples part OF the
price they pay for armed protection; and
It seems. zoo. that the German people
are getting a bit tired OF this sort OF
protection. also.
Whether the proposed tariff commission
In this country VIII be able to accomplish
any definite and tangible results or not. no
one dare predict at present. but this much
is certain: That a commission Of experts
may be able 10 determine and 20 inform
the people precisely what effect the high
protective tariff has on the cost Of living.
To the average citizen. nowadays. the
tariff and all its works are much OF a
mystery; few have patience not to say
intelligence enough 10 wade through from
Schedule A to Schedule 4, with their va
rious ramihcatlons. All the people know
or feel is that there is something wrong
somewhere. and that those who claim 10
know what II Is. or ought 70 be in po-
sition to know. will not enlighten them.
In the meantime, the tariff agitation Of
other peoples. especially the agitation in
Canada, may bring some facts 10 light
which shall serve as an education for our
own voters.

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
Our First Electric way-September 1.

When the year began in March. Sep
TENDER was the seventh Of its months
Consequently it was properly called Sep

Julius Caesar reformed the calendar. he
gave this month thirty-hrst day. which

scr. The child was weak and puny, and
was destined to languish long in obscur-
fly and neglect. passing through many
vicissitudes OF vigorous development. At
that time, and for many years after

available source from which electric en-
ergy could be obtained for driving mo-
tors.
Following Davenport. who drove his
motors with current supplied by primary
batteries carried on the car. came Rob
ert Davidson. Of Aberdeen. Scotland. He
built a powerful electric locomotive. which
made number Of trips on Scottish rail-
ways, and was finally destroyed. presum-
ably by some engineers who feared thar
their own machines would be superseded
by the new invention.
The next experiment on a large scale
was made IN 1850 by Prof c. G. Page. OF
the Smithsonian Institution, at Washing
ton. who. like Davidson. worked az the
idea of an electric locomotive. In 1851 Dr..
Charles Grafton Page. Of Salem. Mass.

care OF them they used TO keep all sorts
Of time and strike no two together.

But I've changed all that very much
since 1 took upon myself the work OF

1t would seem that all st. Louis girls

This is not the first time that beauty

confined TO selling funeral flowers. then
It might be well TO have a young woman

florists shop are higher than this. It is
from the fragrance Of his counter that
packages of sweet flowers go out
wrapped in tissue paper and bearing

them wondrous thoughts Of love and
courtship and poetry. Amid the bloom OF
honeysuckle, the tender quivering OF
maidenhair fern, the fragrance OF the
roses. the modesty OF the violets. or the
silvery paleness Of the lilies, who would
want to see any but a pretty face? Is It
not in the confines of a florists shop

We are glad TO believe that the st. Louis
florist is doomed to failure. In the first
place. there are mighty few homely girls
TO be found in America, no matter what
wages you might offer them. They are
simply not to be had. In the second
place, no American girl would take a lob

job, her LONELINESS would be so pleasant

the St Louis girls that she would he

NORTH CAROLINA RATTLERS.

RRttIer's Bite on Other Snakes.

ROtAAers hlte on Nthcr Snakes
Raleigh Co-respondence Forest and Stream.
The State museum now contains the
largest rattlesnake, mounted. IN any col
lection in the world. II may not be gen
orally known. but II IS true shat in North
Carolina the largest rattlerS are found.
The United States snake experts are the
authority for this statement.
1t must be borne in mind that the skin
OF snake can be greatly stretched, so
that after it has been removed It can be
pulled out in any way to make the snake
appear longer or OF greater girth. In this
case the taxidermist. Tom Addicks. made
perfect plaster cast and on this mounted
the skin, which was made 10 fl precisely
and 10 conform to every measurement.
This snake IS 6 feet II inches in length.
II inches IN girth. and weighed pounds
10 ounces. 1t has twelve rattles. The
width OF its body lying fat. Is "A inches.
The length OF tail from vent 10 rattIes,
but not including the latter is only ~
inches. The head IS 81 inches wide. The
snake Is Of the diamond variety II is
mounted nearly at fun length. Il was
killed at Havelock, near Lake Ellis, by
J. J. Ballard, with one blow on the head
with a small stick so that NOT even the
skin was broken He took this care so
as 10 secure for the museum in perfect
condition a snake which was the largest
he had ever seen.
Near the same place Mr. Addicks. Her
bert Brimley and Mr. Brimley's two little
sons had an exciting and peculiar expert
ence with another rattlesnake. and a
rather large specimen. too As they were
walking Mr.. Brimley stepped over the
snake while his son Arthur saw II and
stopped. The snake was in coil but was
as gentle as the traditional lamb. A
moose was put over his head. He did not
rattle. but was lifted and carried along.
Not until his bearer struck a bush with
him did this serpent turn in the alarm.
The bite Of the rattler does not appear
