SINGULAR as it may seem, Ontario,
the Canadian province which stood to
receive the greatest benefit from re-
ciprocity, as it lies next to the best
market in the world, New England,
voted strongest against the treaty.
History furnishes number of such
mistakes. All will remember in 1900
how Congressman LaFollette, who was
McKinley's right hand man in framing
the Mckinley tariff bill that put high
duty on imported tobacco, went down
to defeat in a district in which resided
most of the tobacco growers of Wis
consin. People are often blinded to
their best interests.

THE state fair had smaller attend
ance than last year, but it took in al
most as much money, lacking only
S11.92. The Wisconsin fair still fails
to interest the whole state. Maybe we
need better fair. Maybe We need a
better local spirit. Something is the
matter. Mil. Cor. The extortion of
the Milwaukee hotel keepers has some
thing to do with keeping country peo-
pie away from the state fair. The
doubling up of rates as well as "doubl-
ing up in rooms demanded every year
is little less than an imposition on the
public. If the Milwaukee newspapers
want to popularize the fair they can
not do better than get after the hotel
keepers association and compel them
to be less grasping when their country
cousins come in to visit the fair.

SUPPOSE you had business which
brought in $4,000 for every minute of
every day and every night for the 300
working days of the year. Would it
not pay to take care of it? Suppose
YOU sold on every one of those days a
total of about Sc, 900, 900, and in the
year something like $1,000, 900, 900!
Would not you want to increase it?
This is exactly what Uncle Sam is do
ing as to our foreign trade. His ex-
ports in 1908 sold for over 81, 800, 900, :
900. They were almost as much last
year, and they will run close to the
same amount this year. We are among
the chief merchants in the great mar
ket house of the world. We are still
led by Great Britain and Germany, but
our foreign trade is rapidly growing,
and the day will come when we shall
be the biggest traders of the whole
world. Moreover, the amounts are
steadily increasing, and we need more
foreign trade to keep the hands busy.
Our foreign sales already foot up over
$76S, 600, 600, and had we the markets
we could easily make it billion. They
now amount to about as per cent of our
exports, which is 10 per cent more than
they were in 1900 and over double the
amount of our exports of manufactures
in the year 1890. Indeed, we are rap
idly climbing to the top among the ma
tions which are selling the most goods
made by machine and by hand. We
now rank third, being only exceeded by
Great Britain and Germany. This is
what Frank G. Carpenter writes the
Chicago Tribune about our trade with
foreign lands.

PEOPLE who were hoping for lower
prices of living view with alarm the

Ears of Animals.

The hearing apparatus of animals
is like that of human beings, but
modified to suit the conditions of the
animals life. Deer, hares, and horses,
like all animals whose life necessi.
tates keen hearing, have ears shaped
and set in the best way to catch faint
or far-off sounds. The serpent has no
ear-drums. The ear Of the fish is a
membraneous labyrinth connected
with the bladder by a series of little
bones.
Though the sense of hearing is per.
feet only in the higher animals, even
the animals that have no ears per.
ceive sounds. Instead of ears they are
supplied with fine nerves whose func.
ton is to note and to respond to ev-
cry touch; nerves whose Tau5:: wins
centers are different from the centers
of the purely tactile impressions. All
animals, including insects, have an
apparatus which enables them to dis
tinguish the approach of an enemy

Cohen was in a terrible way But
suddenly it struck him that he might
get shelter and a cheap meal, too,
from an old friend, one Kressler, a
German, who lived in the neighbor-
hood.
So, after little searching, he found
his friends house, and gave the door
bell a manful pull.
Presently he was face to face with
Kressler himself, who evidently was
none too pleased to see him. Being
conducted into the dining room, where
eight little Kresslers were seated
around the table, he was babe to take
seat and have little dinner.
Isaac rubbed his hands and quietly
smiled. He was in luck.
After an enjoyable meai, and the
rain had stopped, he rose from his
seat, and turning to friend Kressier
said:

EVIDENTLY A HARD TASK

AS the most delightful example she

Then she shows it. And this, word

1t was the dinner hour, and the

TRAFFIC IN SOUTH AMERICA
How Congestion and Accidents Are
Avoided in the Streets of
Buenos Aires.

Buenos Aires is very much unlike
our American cities. In the first place,
there are no sky scrapers. The high
est building does not exceed seven or
eight stories. Then there are miles
upon miles of streets with buildings
of one story predominating. 1t is laid
out in rectangular blocks, average
about 400 feet on each side. The
streets are narrow and esen in the
residence section they are generally
built clear up to the street line. The
principal business streets, such az
Florida, Cuyo, Cangallo, Bartolome
Mitre, San Martin, 25th OF May, etc,
are only S3 feet wide, and you will
wonder how the tranic is managed,
says Travel. 1t is done in this wise:
Street cars and vehicles are allowed to
move only one way. On the adjoining
street they move In the opposite direc-
ton. 1t is surprising how this plan
helps to solve serious problem Of
congestion. Cabs and automobiles
dash along with seeming disregard of
human life, yet few accidents result.
A uniformed policeman is stationed at
each street intersection where trafic
is congested and assists In the protec-
ton of foot passengers and drivers.
This police force. made up Of men
with Indian blood In their veins, i'm

Furnishing Chance.

Five dollars in change to be sent
around to her house within five min
utes, that was all the woman living at
No. 211 in the next street wanted"
said the New York grocer. Not even
a cake of soap to go with it as a guar
antee Of good faith-just the IS. I
thought l had got so used to cheeky
requests that nothing could surprise
me in that line, but the change propo-
sition did give me something Of a
jolt. A cheap peddler had called with
something she wanted to buy; she
was afraid to trust him with the
money to go out and get the change;
she couldn't leave the house herself,
and she had nobody to send so she
just telephoned around so she could
get Is cents in change. Yes, we sent
it because she buys things here once
in a while, but l hope other women
in the neighborhood won't get the
habit"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stToyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

One Of the greatest questions be-
fore Congress and one that will be
settled soon is that of abrogating
the treaty with Russia made many
years ago. Russia has internal
troubles with the Hebrews and re-
fuses to admit them ON American
passports. This discrin ration is the
basis of a resolution passed by the
House last week to annul the trea-
ty. The consequences would be far
reaching and it is do lbtful if the
Senate will pass the resolution.
