TRADE BENEFICIAL

Trade is as impersonal as the
law of gravity; it serves all men
alike; regardless of race, national
ity or kindred.
By trade, man avails himself of
the other means of wealth creation.
If he could not trade he would de-
rive no benefit from any of the
vast multitude of labor saving de-
vices and inventions. Without
exchange he would forego all the
advantages of the diverse soils,
climates, and human talents. AS
a man who would deny himself the
use of steam would to that extent
limit his power and enjoyment
over the wealth of the world, so
does the man who would bar out
the products of another race or
cline, sacrifice to that extent his
power over nature.
The idea that trade within the
country is more profitable, and
therefore better for the country,
than trade across the frontier is
one of those strange beliefs in.
herited from the past, when simple
minds CROPPED for excuses to be-
lieve what they wanted to believe.
What is there about an imagin-
airy line drawn between countries
that should change the very laws
of natureY
Why should it be considered
advantageous to this country for
citizens of Vermont to trade with
those of Texas or California, but
not with those mile north of
them?-The Public.

Things Fish Can See.

1t is doubtful If fish can distinguish
forms outside the water, but they un
questionably can see moving objects
at considerable distance. Their in.
stinct teaches them to fee from
strange moving things and from shad'
ows thrown on the water by persons
moving along the waterside or by
birds flying over. The proof that they
cannot see the outlines of forms suf-
ficiently well to distinguish between
animate and inanir ate objects, is that
they will show no more fear of an
angler standing perfectly still In the
water, than they will Of tree or other
harmless object. That their sight is
keen In the water Is evidenced by the
fact that game fishes, that prey on
their fellows. do much Of their feeding
at night. pursuing and capturing min

KINDLY OLD BAvARIAM RULER
Ample Reasons Why Duke Max Was
Popular Within and Without
His Dominions.

Duke Max of Bavaria had no greater
delight than leaning over the counter
OF some small shopkeeper, talking gos-
sip or purchasing toys for his great
granddaughter in Austria. Innumer
able stories are told illustrating his
character. r. H. Goldschmidt, a
wealthy banker Of Frankfort, was once
iourneying to Vienna. Opposite him
on the velvet cushion Of the first class
car sat an old gentleman, whose dress
and looks betrayed no uncommon
rank. Are you on pleasure trip?"
asked the bankers vis-a-vis. YES"
answered the latter. IL am going to
visit my daughter, who, thank God,
fortunately married the Banker VIE
ner In Vienna" How strange" re-
piled his companion "the incentive
to my trip is the same. am going
to visit my daughter in Vienna. Thank
God; she, too, is rather fortunately
married to the emperor of Austria"
The dukes pocketbook was open
to all. Many a poor creature in that
Catholic city told off beads for good
Duke Max" and blessed his name.
A disciple of old Baltazarlna, whose
art had once charged the ballet low
ers of music, having grown old in her
profession, was unable to get employ
ment. In despair she wrote to Duke
Max. giving an account of her situa-
ton. His secretary handed him the
letter with the remark: "She deserves
nothing; she has lived a fast life"
Then" answered his highness, "she
will miss her former splendor so much
the more" and, sitting down, he wrote
her a letter, enclosing money, and
signed From an admirer of your art"
