Washington, d. C.-Within less than
ten months after the initiation of
negotiations with the Canadian gov
eminent there was laid simultaneous
ly before the American congress at
Washington and the Canadian parlia-
ment at Ottawa a reciprocity arrange.
ment which IL approved by the legis.
lative branches of the two gov
ernments, will do much, in the opin.
ion of the negotiators, to enlarge and
liberalize the trade between the
United States and Canada.

made effective by a simple majority
vote in each of the two legislatures.

eminent imposing export duty on

but the American duty will lie only
on the comparatively small proper
ton of Canadian pulp or wood cut or
such crown lands.
The agreement, to become effective,
must be shaped as a law amendatory
OF the existing tariff acts in the
United States and in Canada, and it
will require sharp work to accom-
plish this, so far as congress is con
cerned, in the brief period of time re-
naming of the present session.

deem to be friends to permit me to
reproduce some OF their letters over

CLOTTER is NEAT CALENDAR
Easily Made and One o. Most Useful
Articles on Young Lady's Desk
Things Needed.

One of the most useful things a girl
can possibly have for her desk ia a
calendar blotter. How often when wri
ting n letter does one have to stop and
think what day of the month It is, and,
although there may be calendar in
the desk there are surely many times
when II cannot be found at the mo-
ment II is needed. And the blotting
paper is often old and nearly worn out
before one remembers to get new
piece. Both OF these little troubles arc
done away with by having calendar
blotter.
The blotter can b. made with either
IL sheets Of blotting paper or six, &C.
cording to whether its owner writes
much or little, and also whether she
uses up blotting paper quickly or not.
There is very great difference be-
tween people on this question. The
sheets of paper may also either be
large enough to nearly cover the desk.
or there may be small pieces that are
picked up and laid over the writing to
blot IL. II the large sheets are used
they must be kept in drawer Of the
desk at one end and one taken out as
II Is needed: but the small ones can be
fastened together at one end, the
whole pad kept on the desk and one
sheet torn or when wanted.
To male the blotter all that is need.
ed Is pad calendar, and the right
quantity OF blotting paper. Choose the
latter by the color OF the decoration OF
your room and the calendar size by
whether your blotter 10 to be large or
small. II there are to be IL sheets OF
