Competition Necessary


 "ThSeroNn land ulp wood and the tablishing competition between the pri- vate wood lands and the crown lands could the provinces be brought to remove the restrictions which they have placed on the importation into this country free of duty of wood or wood pulp from crown lands.
 The crwn land pulp wood and the private land pulp wood are in compe- ttion in Canada. If we let in paper made from the private land pulp wood l free and a charge of $5.75 a ton on the paper made from the crown lands pulp wood the latter will be at such a dis advantage that the province which is the owner of it will naturally seek to secure the same benefits for the crown land pulp wood that the private land wood enjoys and therefore take off the prohi- bition on exportation."
 | The American reader, the American school children and American newspaper, the American manufacturers of news print paper the Canadian owner of pulp wood and the Canadian pulp wood forests all would benefit, MT Mann said, by the pulp and paper section of the agree ment as adopted by the House. Tt tends" he added, Ito make avail able the raw material and to prevent undue increases in the price of the fin- ished product but the Root amendment will render the whole provision ineffec- tive and of no value. It practically de- stroys the agreement"
 Representative Malby of New York got permission to file a reply to the remarks of MT. Mann.

The Blanket Fish.

The manta, or blanket fish, is common
to the warm parts of the Pacific. Around
the Mexican penal colony on Tres Marias
islands, not very far from Manzanillo. II
is one of the most efficient guards for the
prisoners incarcerated there. Not man
has ever been known TO escape from this
dreaded prison by swimming. No soon
er does human body strike the water
than school of these monsters appear,
flying like giant bats through the sea.
They throw themselves on the hapleSS
swimmer, crushing him to the bed OF the
sea, and there suck the flesh from his
bones with their powerful mouths.
The manta grows to mammoth dimen-
sionS, though the one which saw, says
a writer in the Wide World Magazine,
was comparatively small, not weighing
over two or three tons and not being
more than fifteen feet across. The fish
is nearly square in outline, the wings
forming great right angles, which stretch
out from the body, giving it rectangular
appearance. The fish swim by Tapping
these wings and are sometimes called
"Sea bats" on this account.
MantaS swim with incredible rapidity
for what is apparently so ungainly fish,
and once they sight anything in the wa
ter, unless it be the speediest fish or
shark, they overhaul it and simply close
it, wrapping the entire blanket-like body
around the unfortunate victim Even
with sharp knife it is almost impossible
TO reach vital spot in the manta's body.
For this reason they are the most dread
ed by divers of all the dwellers in the
sea, and the Divers life is not without its
perils, take my word for that.

Equal To The Emergency.

The old lawyer had instructed his cli-
ent, accused Of theft, to weep whenever
he struck the desk with his hand. In the
ardor Of his plea he forgot and struck the
desk at an inauspiciouS moment. His
client promptly fell TO sobbing with much
energy and the Judge turned upon her.
"What is the matter with you2" he
asked.
"He told me TO cry as often as he
struck the table," said the woman, lifting
pair of large dry eyes to the judges
face as she put down her handkerchief.
A laugh ran around the room, but the
unabashed lawyer saw his opportunity.

laughter had subsided, "that anyone here

morning, slapped down check in front

money for it.

is made out to John S. Moseby, but iden-
tification Is a rule which We must OBJ

A Kindly Service .

The usual throng of travellers Surge6
through the South Station in Boston
They came and went with hurrYing feet,
revealing the differences in their lives by
their dress, their step, and the expression
of their faces. The seats were filled with
those who waited, and among them was
one who studied human nature with I'M
waning interest.
Up and down, to and fro, walked a
woman, meanly clad. Her face was stol-
id and heavy, her hat ancient and dilapi-
dated; her rusty black dress punched it.
self here and there untidily, and a long
piece of braid, ripped from her skirt,
trailed forlornly behind her as she walked.
The waiting travellers watched her indif-
ferently; even the student of human ma
ture looked at her with slight favor. She
was not interesting.
Then through the door came a young
and beautiful girl. She was simply but
richly clad in the best OF fashion. She
came with free and graceful step, and
looked the embodiment of the spirit Of
the age-the flower of culture and refine
ment. Her eyes fell on the woman, who
still walked TO and fro. She saw the
trailing braid, and quickly and gently she
laid her hand upon the arm of the poor
woman. She spoke few quiet words,
and opening her rich shopping bag, took
from it some pins which she proffered
with slight gesture toward the Woman'S
Room across the station.
The woman addressed listened at first
with stolid glance. Then there was a
Frightening of her look, Strengthening
Of her figure. She glanced back at the
the braid, and then with word of thanks
took the pins and hastened across the
room TO repair the damage.
And back in the seat the student of hu-
man nature felt certain shame al the lost
opportunity for service, and an envy and
respect for the girl who had been quick
to see and TO act.

Pets and Penalties.

II is always with fear and trembling thai
one strikes the note of warning against
the dangers that menace through the fam
lily pet; but now and then il has 10 be
done, and all the more because Of the
fact that the dearer the pet the greater
the menace. 1t is hard to prove to peo'
pie who adore their cats that this lovable,
hugable, kissable animal can be, and Of
ten is, carrier OF the worst kinds OF dis
ease-germs. They say, "Why, our cat
is the daintiest. cleanest thing in the
world. She washes herself all the time
and it is quite true, she does, only un-
fortunately she has no knowledge of the
germ theory, and those faStidious passes
of hers over the surface Of her fur, al
though very satisfying to her own sense
of cleanliness, have no effect whatever on
the microbes she may be unconSciouSly
harboring.
The germs of nearly all the epidemic
and local diseases flourish upon the FAM
lily cat, although the animal itself may not
be subject. In some cases it can both
spread the disease and have it itself
diphtheria is case in point. The thick
fur, so tempting to stroke, can hold the
germs of typhoid fever, scarlet fever,
measles, whooping- cough or smallpox.
Besides these and many others, ring
worm and tapeworm can be spread in
this way, as we'll as other forms OF skin
disorders.
II is dreadful to reflect how often con-
valescing child is given the family cat to
keep it company in its exile from its play
mates, and then, when the animal is
turned loose in the house without being
boiled first, people are quite aStonished
that the influenza should spread through
the entire family-after all their care.
OF course the cot is not the only culprit.
Dogs, horses and canary-birdS come un-
der the same condemnation, except that
dogs are often given thorough baths, es-
pecially house dogs. 1t is difficultto hug
and kiss canaries, and horses seldom are
allowed to sleep on the foot of the bed.
But whatever the nature OF the pet may
be, it is safe to make the rule that it should
not be handled much, especially if it is
the long-haired kind; then, ifparents will
see to it that any animal allowed in the
rouse, or approached by the children, is
kept scrupulously clean, much ofthe dan
ger will be eliminated. 1t ought not to
be necessary to add a word Of protest
against the altogether unwise habit of
kissing or being kissed by animal pets,
and yet this breach of decency is often
committed by otherwise fastidious peo-
pie.

The Burden Bearer.

Over the narrow pathway
That led from my lonely door,
Invent with thought OF the Master
As oft | had walked before;
But my heart was heavily laden.
And with tears my eyes were dim.
But knew should lose the burden
Could get glimpse Of Him. \
Oh, friend il the greater burdens
His love can make so light, -
Why should His wonderful goodness
Our halting credence slight2
The little. sharp vexations,
The briers that catch and fret
SHALL we not take them TO the Helper
Who never failed US YETI
Tell Him about the he eartache,
And tell Him the longings, too.
Tell Him the baffled purpose.
When we scarce know what TO do;
Then leaving all our weakness
With the One dlvinely strong,
Forget that we bore the burden.
And carry away the song.

The Standby Horse.

The most valuable horse on the farm is
not always the one that will sell for the
highest price. Money consideration is
the usual standard by which values of an
imalS are measured, but there are qualities
of training, of service, of skill in perform
ing work that the horse acquires in
his years OF service that in sense make
him an expert and adept in certain lines
OF service; thus the old horse frequently
is worth more than the stylish, high
strung young horse that would readily
command two or three times more money
in his sale than the old steady farm ami
NAL, writes farmer in the Twentieth Cen
fury Farmer.
Most farms, especially where there is
a level-headed, rather old man, or at least
middle-aged man, in management, have
one or more reliable horses that money
cannot buy. These are the horses (gen-
orally two) that make up the team for the
boys to work in their beginning days in
learning to handle farm work. This team
of old standbys know all the ins and outs
of all kinds OF work on the farm, and all
the boy has 10 do is TO hold on to the
plow or keep the lines from getting tan
gled up and they will do the rest. They
could go to town safely by themselves If
turned loose and started, and 90 right up
to their hitching post, or they could come
home without an accident or driver.
They are never looking out for an ex-
cuse to get scared at something or to feel
| a trace loose or something not just right
about the harness. This old team prob
ably have been on the same farm from
the time they were shy, skittish young
horses, and they have learned all that is
to be known iE good behavior and doing
things right; they have passed the age Of
| fooliShnesS.
What is such team worth to the farmF
Nearly every well-managed farm has one
| or two such horses which are anywhere
from 10 to Is years old.

GOOD ROADS ARE FAVORED
Bill Has One Vote to Snare in llll- nois and Probably Will Pass

Springfield, IL, May 11.--Highway improvement in Illinois is regarded as practically certain through the pas sage by the house of the good roads bill, creating the office of county su- perintendent of roads inseach county, and increasing license fees of auto- mobiles to defray the cost of conduct ing the new system. The bill went through the house by margin of one vote. It's passage by the senate is regarded as assured. that body al ready having passed one good roads bill of somewhat similar character.
 The measure fixes a scale of fees to be paid for automobile licenses run ming from $2 to $10 year and fixes speed limit of 25 miles an hour on county roads and six miles an hour while rounding curves. All license tags must bear the year in which they were issued.
