sAlpsuILpINc IN AMERICA.

During 1910, the United States built more ships than any country in the world except Great Britain. The ton- mage of new vessels, which include those on inland waters, was 331,31 tons. It is interesting to note that Germany built less than half this tom mage. or 159,000 tons: France, s0,000 tons; Holland, 10000 tons; Japan 30,000 tons. The total output of the world during the year, exclusive of warships, was 1,957,S53 tons, an in- crease of nearly one-half a million tons over the previous year. Sailing vessels appear to be rapidly passing since but 100000 tons of this enor- nous total comprise sailing vessels Practically the entire tonnage 1aunch- ed has been of steel. The British ton- mage afloat today is about 20,000,000 tons, and that of the United States about S.000,000. Germany ranks third in this list with about 4,500,000 tons The output of war vessels has been slightly below that of the previous year, although nearly one hundred war ships were completed. It is interesting to note that while the American flag is seldom in evidence on the high seas the enormous volume of shipping among the coast and inland waters serves to place America in the second place among the nations.

REcIPRocfTY AND EGGS.

The western farmers do not think the removal of the duty of five cents a dozen from eggs because of the reef procity treaty with Canada will have such an effect upon the poultry busi- ness as some of our nervous citizens apprehend.
 Looking at the case just as it is. we are told that Canada sends about 10000 dozen eggs into this country every year. We send the Canadians n million dozen eggs in the same peri cd and pay a three-cent 6uty to the i've cents charged on eggs from Cam ada Last January. while the whole sale price in Vermont averaged 27 cents for every dozen eggs, the price fin Montreal was 35 cents. It was 36 cents in Buffalo and 40 cents in To- ronte- Prices ran from 26 to 30 cents in Mine and s3 cents in New Bruns- wick
 Thsre dossn't appear to be anything to view with serious alarm in these figures so far as Americans are con- cerned. The other side may find oc- casion to kick

COMPULSORY FLAc-FLYlNc.

It appears strange that in the state of Massachusetts a law requiring the voluntary flying of the flag is not enough and that after years of trial and abuse, a bill has been reported in the senate to compel the display of the United States flag on school houses and to provide that failure for five consecutive days shall subject the master or principal of q school to a fine of s for each period of five days of such negligence, unless it is caused by the school committee not providing the principal with a flag. in which case the penalty shall be imposed on the one directly responsible for there being no flag.
 This is regarded by the leading papers as unnecessary, since the au- thority of the school board ought to be sufficient to enforce such a rule.
 The Fall River News remarks: The frequency of the raising of the banner would have bred indifference; the ceremony would have meant noth- ing more than part of the days routine, such as opening the school house door or ringing the school bell The sentiment which inspires meas ures of this kind may be 1audable one. but it overreaches itself in it's en- thusiasm in this instance"

CIRCULATION
NEED OF GREATER CARE

The papers of Boston are calling uDon the drivers of automobiles in the streets of that city to drive their touring cars with. more care.
 Last week Monday child was killed there; on Tuesday another was fatally injured; and on Wednesday a woman was knocked down and died soon after reaching the hospital.
 The pedestrian who does not look before he steps into the street is far 100 common; and in these times small children should not be left to stroll the streets and caper across the fhoroughfares. It is up to everybody to keep a sharp lookout for approach ing motor carriages
 Speaking of these three. accidents The Post, of Boston. says:
 HN Is probable that in not one of the fhxee instances referred to was tho. autoFnobiie driven at high speed or with reckiessness. The thought less acts of children brought death in two-cases- But so long as children run i'm the streets and the aged are com pellsd to walk aesoss them, the duty of extreme caution on the part of automobile drivers is imperative.'

NOT THE RIGHT CONSERVATION

Starting new apple orchards is the ind today. and Windham county farmer who did not have any land bUt meadow land which he could af- ford to devote to this object, inquired of the Connecticut Farmer why. he couldn't plant apples in the meadow and grow hay as before. The editor replied:
 Bearing apple trees may be made to do well in sod land. but the sod mulch must be used. But when one grows apples in sod the apples must have the front seat, not the hay. When we come to- the question of setting young apple trees in a meadow the problem is altogether q different one. Thousands of farmers have tried it and failed. Young apple trees will not grow. much less produce, under such conditions. The other day a neighbor asked lis to explain to him why the apple trees that he set in sod land seven years ago are still nursery -size trees That is easy to explain; the trees are sod bound. A sod bound frec is d runt and will always be a runf unless the god is broken up and fertilizer applied. We might advise YOU to dig wide and deep holes for the reception of the trees and keep the area cultivated as far away from the trees as the branches extend. but that k not the sort of advice we desire 10 70 on record as handing out Choose ;t site for your apple orchard, no mat ' ter how large or small and make it your business Co grow apples and not hay. At hest it requires a number of years to bring d young orchard into bearing condition. If the growth is retarded fl only postpones the harvest. and the harvest is what We are look ing for"

JAPANEsE PERFuMEs.
Delicate Fragrance of Many HIos-
 soms Pleases Fastidious Women.

Perfumes of Araby' are no longer the height of sweetness in the eyes of women, for it.is from the land of the cherry blossoms that the newest and daintiest scents now come-perfumes so delicate in their sweetness that they are a suggestion rather than a scent, and with enough individuality to them to please even the most fastidious of women. who have wearied of plain violet and the heavy perfumes from France which were in vogue last year.
 There is the Japanese lily per fume exhaling a delicious fragrance reminiscent. of quaint Japanese gar dens far away. and lotus flower water, which is another novelty of the year.
 The enticing odor of the Japanese violet. very different from our own modest flower, vies in popularity among exclusive women now with that of the Japanese clover, which is more pupgent and lasting longer than the former perfume.
 In selecting a perfume it must be remembered that to make it's delicacy appreciated soap, sachet and scent must all have the same fragrance, and as little as possible must be used.
 A decided perfume of any kind nov erlng over a woman, or leaving a trail of odor behind her is not only bad form. but is repulsive rather than at tractive. A w4liff of fragrance, a sug- gestion of flowers rather than any scent is the thing to be desired.
