There is, in the tariff law, a re-
bate clause which gives back al
most all of the duty on imported
lead. but the testimony of sever
nj leading manufacturers was that
this was of very little benefit to
them for reasons stated. The du-
ty is so high ON the imported pro-
duct that it permits the lead trust
to exact from the manufacturers
a high price for the domestic pro-
duet, thus putting him at the out
set at a heavy handicap, if he ex-
ports. They have found that in
their efforts to sell such goods
in foreign countries whose tariff
laws include the sO-called "anti-
dumping" clause, they are con-
frOnted by the provision that any
goods offered in that foreign
country at a lower price than the
goods are sold for at home are
penalized in some cases to the
full extent of the difference if
the goods are of a class that are
also produced in that foreign
country. This closes a large part

who uses lead as a raw material
in making his finished product.
The testimony of one big cleo
trOtyping concern is to the point.
1t uses lead as the principal In
gredient of electrOtyping metal.
Before the Dingley law went in
to effect this concern was buying
this metal at 4 cents a pound, a
figure at which there was a good
profit for the miners and smelts.
Ten years later the price was TX
cents per pound. The explana--
ton was that the lead trust, abb
sOlutely sheltered by the tariff,
could squeeze the price up to
that figure, and did 50. The pam
'e brought the price down, but tn
rigura has been steadily mount
ing since then. This was and is
4 pretty serious matter for the
VleetrOtyperS, who have no trust.
Their wage scale has been advan-
ing, and the sharp competition
of the manufacturing houses pre-
vents them from putting up the
price. The result has ben a
steady narrowing of. profits, but
this argument does not have any
weight with congress, because the
'lectrOtypers were consumers.

LEARNING ART OF COUNTING
African savaoes Have Interesting
Method Of calculatlng-Use
Both Feet and Hands.

Do you remember learning to
count7 I dare say not. But l am
pretty sure you learned to count on
your fingers, or perhaps you were
given bright counters or shells to use
Instead.
Savages learn to count in just the
same ways; most of them use their
fingers, and so they learn to count
by tens as we do, and some of them
give their numbers very funny names.
The Indians on the Orinoco call five
"one hand" and ten two hands," But
they use their feet as we'll and call
fifteen whole foot" sixteen zone to
the other foot" and twenty lone
man." This plan becomes very COM
pNcated with higher figures, for TWEEN
ty-one is lone to the hand of the next
man."
The African savages count in much
the same way. The Zulu for six is
"tatisitupa," which means taking the
thumb" that Is, the man who Is
counting has used the five fingers OF
one hand, and is beginning to use the
second hand. starting at the thumb.
Some races use the joints Of the
niger instead of the fingers them
selves, and they are very badly off,
for they can only count up to three.
Some Australian tribes count thus
one, two, two-one, two-two. and can
go no further. Other races have only
three words, "one," "two," "a great
many"
But savages sometimes use other
things for counting than flngers OF
joints. Our own word Calculate
means working with pebbles" One
African tribe calls forty "ogodze,'
which means "string," because they
use cowrie shells strung together by
forties for counting. Their name FOL
hundred is "yha," which means
"heap"-that is, heap of cowries.

Even or Odd.

This game is the most ancient, per
haps, that we know. The children
who played In the streets Of Athens
and in the Roman Forum In early
ages, knew and loved it, and little
children find amusement in it still.
It is played in this manner. One
child hides in her hand few beans.
nuts, or just bits of paper. and asks
her companion to guess If they are
odd or even.
If the playfellow guesses odd and
on opening her hand the other dis
plays an odd number, she forfeits the
articles to the guesser, who hides
them in her turn. But If the guess is
odd and the number even, the guesser
pays a forfeit and the first hider re-
tains the beans, etc. The guess must
be right to win.
