in Brazil for the year 1910.
Goods imported by Brazil from
England during 1910 amounted in
value to s5O,OOO,OOO, while Brazilian
purchases from the United States

spite the fact that during 1910 the
United States bought Brazilian goods
amounting to $123,OOO,OOO, while
England bought but $4,000, 900 worth
The lack Of effort by American

Too Realistic.

The extraordinary alertness re- ported from San Francisco on Satur- day night is calculated to revive the suspicion that there is something in the movement of troops to the border beyond the design of maneuvering under service conditions" Suspicion will be further stimulated by the in formation that thousands of maps of Mexico are being sent out from the war department to be used in the maneuvers.
 The aforesaid alertness, the holding Of troop trains in readiness with steam up; the railroad officials without in- formation as to the movement of the trains might be accepted as a condition incident to actual warfare such condition as was the sudden ness and secrecy with which the troops were hurried to the border.
 But the peaceful citizen cannot con ceive why the maps are needed unless the maneuvers are to be conducted under service conditions in Mexico That, of course, would mean actual war conditions.

We are playing a game of loving, How long is the sport to last? We have watched our skill and had our
 fill,
 And the charm of the game is past. Was there nothing apiss in the pas
 time,
 Did it end as the game was begun? or was one of us playing in earnest While the other was playing in fun Do you wish all emotions forgotten, With tho passion of laughter and
 tears? Let us give. let us take, just for chari-
 tvs sake,
 One last kiss. to blot out all fears, And we'll take back the frail. pretty
 tokens
 You say it is easily done. O, but one was contending in earnest, Though the other was playing for
 fun. We are both of us fearless at parting. And mute-though we must say

POWER 0F A SMILE

Good nature is most valuable as set and a smile is of inestimable value in keeping the relationships of the in order. A smile is d coin from the universal mint of the world whose purchasing power is almost unlimi- ted A smile opens many avenues to success. It opens many doors of happiness and it leads to much of consequence.
 4 smile rarely rings false, in fact, in the mint wherein smiles are coined there are no spurious coins and they are rarely made elsewhere. Perhaps it is because the spurious ones have such d palpable false look that they never are taken for the real thing.
 But the smile of good nature and of good will, what does it not bring to all who come within the reach of it? There are people whom it is a tcnic to meet. They are dispellers of the blues" and Encouragement never stays long where they enter. And these are the people of uniform good nature. They simply won't allow you to have doleful sessions with your self
 CuriOusly. these people are rarely the ones who have had an easy time in life. but those who have had many serious mishaps and unfortunate draw backs. They are people who have known trouble and disappointment and sorrow. but they have learned that the world has little sympathy with the man and woman who par ade their griefs before it. They have learned that the world needs all of its sunshine and so they give of their radiance to drive the clouds and gloom away.
 And because they do this they get more out of life and they realize more on their time than almost any one else because the good things gravitate naturally to them. But this isn't the type of person who has a smile for the stranger and none for the home folks. It is the man or woman who looks upon home as the altar of earthly hopes and earthly ambitions and realizes that , if its fires are kept burning they must do their share in maintaining its flame.
 Life means so very much that it should be made as light and joy

CONDITIONS OF SCIEN-
 TIFIC PROGRESS

The conditions of scientific pro- gress have changed greatly though very gradually Two hundred years ago the number of active investigators was small. This year there are at least 10000 men of substantial ability carrying on original researches, con sequently each theme is being worked at by several men. and the minal out come is the consequence of collabOra- ton, which is none the less actual and effeCtual because it is unorganiZ- ed, and is usually not formally de- Signated as collaboration. For eX- ample. our present knowledge of the complex and very varied processes of sell l-division has been constructed not merely by successive accumula- tions. but also by inccssant debate and repeated mutual criticism. If we examine a paper on mitosis we find not merely the outhor's own ob- servations. but also references to oth- CT related investigations. to specify which there is often a formidable bibliography. Within q generation the modern science of bactcrioloGy has been created. Within a few years radiology, the wonders of which still threll us, has suddenly come into existence Both great achievements are the results of both the original observations and also the constant mutual discussions of a number of scientific men.-Professor Charles $. Minot in Science.

A TAFT QUALITY.

one of the sterling traits of Pres ident Taft'S character, arising prob ably from his early experience as iurist, is his profound respect for the law. This phase of his makeup has been made manifest throughout his entire public career in rare degree. It is shown in his disposition to treat all persons as equal before the law and consequently to render justice with firmness and impartiality in his dealings with all classes of people as well as all nationalities, regardless of birth or circumstances It was this rare quality that gave him such strong hold upon the esteem and regard of the FiliDinos when he was governor general of the Philippines. No other man in public life, perhaps. could have succeeded so well in his treatment of these semi -savagcs, who were untauSht, undisciplined and wholly without eXDcriehce in the way of civilized society. He was literally the man of the hour when the time arrived in the course of their first general assembly under American rule. or, in fact, any sort of rule. to
 
 dependent self government could not be realized in this generation. An impatient. hot -blooded people accum- toned to the injustices of Spanish rule and suspicious of all strange domination. it required a man of MT Taft's proven impartiality and just but kindly dealings to curb their ma tural impatiencC and win their conf denCe in his determination to extend to them every possible right and priv ilege consistent with the situation and vet enforce even justice under the law. Although deeply disappoint- ed. they submitted to his decision where a ruler of less firmness and less kindness would have aroused them to attempt a revolution.
 This same spirit of even handed justice has been minifcsted recently in Mir Taft's attitude towards the colonies of bankers and other men of high standing who have been serv- ing terms of imprisonment in the federal oenitentiaries at Leavenwortn. Atlanta and other places. Despite of the tremendous influence that have been exerted to induce him to grant them pardons, or at least commuta- tions of sentences, Mir. Taft mas steadily refused to interfere. turning their cases over to Attorney General ! Wickersham to be dealt with accord l ing to the dictates of law and justice | tempered with mercy only where the circumstances may justify such ac- ton. There are strong eXtenuating circumstances in the cases of some of these haDless men, particularly in consideration of their advanced age and physical infirmities, not to speak of the fact that the disgrace of one days imprisonment is as severe pun ishment to men of their former high position as years of a like penalty would be to an ordinary hardened I felon. Nevertheless. President Taft | had dealt out justice to them from
 the same old iron spoon as the | late lamented Judge Wofford used | to say, which he has used in the cases of poor and friendless convicts | Impartial enforcement of the law is
 the great need of this country, and | President Taft's course with regard
 to these rich, influential bankers is
 a wholesome and refreshing eXampl, l for others in high places to follow | Kansas City Journal.

HUMAN WREcKs OF THE WOODS
Washed Up From the Lumber Camps
 of New England.

The lumber camps of northern New England are for the most part in prohibition territory and the doctors who practice in the town to the south have to struggle with q string of lumberjacks who on one pretence or another come out of the woods with a desire for one thing. to drink or rather many drinks-and a knowledge that the only way to get it is on a physi- clans prescription.
 In other communities the word to describe their want would be whisky. but that isn't the thing they most often want. In fact many of them prefer plain grain alcohol rejoicing in the name of spit" since it can best be drunk in mixture of half alcohol and half water.
 Lumbering is a business that asks no questions of a mans past, no cer- tificate of good character, nothing in fact but an ability to do present work. The result is that the woods are a hiding place for men of many kinds. A doctor who practices a good many miles north of Boston was tell ing the other day of two recent eX- periences:
 'I was sitting one afternoon in my office when a knock was followed by the entrance of as typical q lumber jack as I ever saw. mackinaw jacket. felt boots. scraggly whiskers and all. To my question as to what he wanted he said:
 "'A little whisky. if you please, | doctor
 What for% said | "'To get over the effects of a de- bauch,' said he.
 There was something about his l language and his voice that got me. Both of them belong to an educated man and I could see that he was really suffering. I asked him his name and he told me. It was d good | Scotch name. Finally I decided to | give him what he wanted and wrote out prescription for four ounces of whisky-a couple of drinks perhaps and gave it to him.
 He took just glance at it and said That's hardly enough for my purpose is it doctor?'
 That got me again. mean his ability to read a prescription quickly. and I asked him who he was and ! where he came from. oh he said, I'm doctor, grad

Rural Statesmen.


 John Sharpe Williams, who has been pretty quiet since his retire ment from the house of representa- tives in preparation for greater honors in the senate. has emerged from the wilds of Mississippi to make an ob- servation that has brought down upon him metropolitan wrath.
 Mir. Williams stated that during his seventeen years in congress he had never met three men of fair intelli- gence from New York, Chicago and Philadelphia combined"
 Those newspapers which have so far criticised this Utterance. which seems remarkable on its face have taken the view that MT. Williams is either inaccurate or dishonest observer. Yet when We come to think of it, in the seventeen year period mentioned by MT Williams. the three cities did not contribute any members to the lower house who by their services earned niches in the Hall of Fame.
 We may go back of that seventeen year period and we will find that the men who have distinguished them selves in congress-the overwhelming majority of them have been country bred: if they have not been direct .F . oil hnr- bad their origin in small country towns where they had risen above the level of their surroundings by greater in dustry and greater intelligence than their neighbors possessed. They were the best of their communities.
 Some who have observed that the rural community has contributed more than it's share of eminent public men have attributed the success of its products to their early surroundings; the simple life, a Spartan style of living, the struggle with early pow erty. are thought to have hardened them for tasks which were too severe for the soft -bodied'' youth of the cities.
 We think this is not the reason that the cities have fallen behind in the production of statesmen. The reason is found in the circumstance that the country sends its best men, who be- come willing sacrifices on the altar 'i their country.
 The cities do not send their best for the best have something better al home A seat in congress does not appeal to the rising city lawyer or the successful city business man There is no time in the career oi either when he is willing to leave his practice or his business for public honors, whose value to him, if they ever had a value, has decreased ss steadily as his own success las grown.
 The city, therefore, can supply only second rate men, who naturally make a poor showing against the first rate men from the farm or the country lawyers office. If the talents oi Webster or Clay had developed iI the city they would have been lost to the country.
 MT. Williams perhaps used the ex- precision fair intelligence" loosely but he stated a fact of which he wa: by no means the discoverer. w, think also that he might have pro- claimed it in less offensive words.

ous as possible, but to do this one should not feel privileged to shirk any of his burdens, nor should he assume that he can afford to trans fer his obligations to be good natured to his wife, or daughter, or sister, or mother. He must pass out the coin of good will himself and he must wear countenance that be- speaks cheerfulness.
 This old world of ours has troubles enough of its own without any of us heaping more upon it in the way of gloomy lOks and sour countenan- ces It has griefs enough without our hunting up any imaginary ones. and it has no need of any of its children hunting up trouble for It, because trouble has way of seek ing it out.
 So let us smile when we can, and we can oftener than we think. Let us be cheerful when we can, and there are few times when it is i'm possible. and let us show the spirit of good will at all times. By doing that we shall do our share in making the world happy old place
