TRADE WITH
The United STATES

Washington, June 3.-According to
a report just completed by the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic commerce,
Department of Commerce. the United
States ranks second as a customer for
Canadian products and first as a sup.
nlier of Canadian needs.
In 1868, the year of federation, the
United States took 47.9 per cent of
CanaIa's total exports; in 1880, $40
per cent; In 1890, 41,9 per cCs,t; in
1900, 35.7 per cent: in 1910, 1896 per
cent. OF Canada's imports in 1868,
the United States furnished 3@.77 per
cent; in 1880, 1898 per cent; in 1899
$3.50 per cent; in 1900, 59.17 per cent:
in 1910, 1891 per cent; and in 1912,
$500 per cent. Canada buys more
from the United States than from all
other nations combined. In spite Of
tariff preferences, Great Eritain's
share of the market has steadily de-
clined before the advance of American
goods. Geography has been too much
for tariffs. The bulk of Canadian i'm.
ports is furnished by the United
States and we would also take the
bulk OF the exports except that Can
ada has little to sell that is not also
produced in our own country, and We
require Canada's exports only to re-
lieve a shortage in lines we already
produce.
Tcrlay the United States takes al
most the entire exports Of Canadian
minerals OF al kinds, the bulk OF it's
forestry exports, over half of its eX-
ports of manufactures, and a third
of its fishery exports. The United
Kingdom is the principal market for
its agricultural and animal products.
The larger takings of Canadian wheat
constitute he principal factor that
makes England loom larger in the ex-
nort trade, and the prospects are that
in the future the United States will
axe a much larger proportion Of this
article.
In 1912 the United States bought
from Canada in largest quantities the
following: Planks and boards, silver,
gold, pulp wood, breadstuffs, (wheat,
etc., hay, hides and skins, copper and
wood pulp. Canada is a country in
the making. and requires large
amounts of ir0nwork for its buildings,
railroads, bridges, factories. etc, and
the main exports from the United
States to Canada consist of manufac-
lures of iron and steel. Next comes
coal ANA coke, of which Canada is the
largest importer in the world, and its
purchases from the United States
amounted to Sal .1O2, $3.50 in 1912. 9th
Err large imports from the United
States were wood and it's manufac-
lures, breadstuffs Tern, etc., oils.
drugs ana chemicals, raw cotton, gut
ia percha and its manufactures, cotton

THE SAME OLD SEASONS.
They Are just About ~ They Were .
Couple Of Centuries AGO.

They Are just About a. They Were 4
Couple o. csntvriss Ago.
The belief Of many people that the
seasons are undergoing some kind OF
change has led Professor Ignazio Call
TO examine the weather records Of the
entire eighteenth century.
The Investigations OF Professor GALL
show hfty-0ne winters that lasted we'll
into spring. thlrty-one warm winters,
thirteen unusually early winters,
twelve mild winters followed by cold
springs. eleven mild winters followed
by mild springs. eleven cold autumns,
eight very warm springs, eight sum-
mers with frosts and FIVE very warm
autumns. There was one instance Of
six consecutive warm seasons. More
than three-cuarters Of the periods OF
unusual weather occurred between the
middle of autumn and the end OF
spring. Many times during the eight
eenth century the same apparent anon
allies required at the same seasons In
several successive years. In every case
the seasons regained their normal char
acteristics.
There have always been persons who
imagined that the seasons were becom.
ing warmer or colder than before.
There is. however. small foundation
for such beliefs. The world has In
deed experienced many cold summers
and many warn winters. but such sea-
sons are not the rule, but the excep-
tion.-YOuth's Companion.

NOT AFRAID OF coFFINs.
Among the Chinese They Are Gladly
Accented az Presents.

Accepted a. VVOooV1o'
Some one who knows Chinese peo'
pie very we'll once told a tale to show
that they do not permit themselves the
luxury Of nerves. She said she had
gone one day, before the Boxer riots,
to visit an old lady who lived out In
the country far beyond Weihsien.
When the American woman arrived
the old lady was out, but presently she
came in and announced that she had
just been out "watching the men dig
her grave, but as it began to rain she
had told them to wait for a %pleasanter
day" She did not die for years after
that, but she had the comforting as
surance that her grave was ready for
her without any unseemly haste when
ever she cared to occupy 1t.
The same American had the expe-
rience Of sleeping in a room with a
very large coffin when she was visiting
a Chinese friend, and the next morning
the cid grandfather Of the family call
ed her attention to its excellences and
explained that his son had made him a
present of 1t. isn't the wood fine" he
asked admiringly. 1T cost a lot Of
money" Old people accept such pres
ents as marks Of flial love, and not at
all as a hint for them to occupy the
cofin.-New York Post

Relax In the Water.

Lew Sarett explains the difficulty
which the nonswimmer has in remain.
ing adoat in 1.-The Knack Of Learning
to SWIM in Outing, as follows: =
"The nonswimmer. fearing the wa
ter, very naturally lenses his muscles
as he struggles to keep his head above
the water until he is as hard as a rock,
and, like a rock, be sinks. whereas the
swimmer. having no fear, relaxes his
muscles and hence becomes buOyant.
The explanation is a simple physical
one. Tense. taut muscles increase the
specific gravity Of the body and make
1t sink in water: loose. relaxed muscles
given an ordinary supply of air in the
lungs will make the body float"

Biblical Measures.

The discovery near the site of the
house Of Caiaphas, in jerusalem, of
various ancient Hebrew weights and
measures seems to end the uncertainty
that has long existed regarding many
Of the weights and measures mention
ed in the Bible According to the Scien
tiflc American, the vessels unearthed
include a cab, hin. seah, bath or
ephah, a homer, as well as complete
set of the fractions and multiples Of
the homer Most Of the measures were
found in q small chamber next to
mill. and a careful examination of
them shows that the Jews had differ
ent sets Of measures before and after
the captivity (B. c. COG. Biblical
scholars will undoubtedly be able now
to determine the equivalent, in modern
weights and measures. of a talent Of
gold or silver or Of homer or an
ephah Of wheat.

Aviation Record.

Since 1908 the speed of the aeroplane
has advanced from % miles an hour to
over 1903 miles an hour in the latter
part of 1912 and has more than quad
rupled. From the modest height of 200
feet previous to 1910 maximum alti-
tude Of 10000 feet, ninety-five times
the earlier record, now stands.
The year 1912 also saw a distance of
627 miles accomplished, amounting to
sixty times the record distance of fifty
miles scored in 1909. The most practi-
cal advance in the science of air navi-
cation is shown in the jump of the du-
ration record. 1t was less than an hour
until late In 1908. At the beginning Of
1900 1t was nearly two and half
hours. The early part of 1912 saw il

Feeding Idle Horses.

Allow one pound Of grain and one
and third pounds Of hay for each hun
dred pounds Of body weight of horse as
days ration, and In addition supply
some roots, or the horses may be given
few pounds Of silage daily. 1t also is
customary to allow horses to run to a
rack filed with bright oat straw. If
this is allowed the hay may be cut
to one pound per hundred of live
weight. Increase oats, add bran and
decrease the hay Us spring approaches
and weather becomes warmer. This
gets the horses into good shape for
spring work. During idleness horses
require but little grain and may eat
freely Of roughage provided the bow
els are kept active by feeding roots or
silage.-Rurai New Yorker

than killing him, for unless he is cap

Of taking care Of him. The Balkan war

rife speed will go straight through a
man. penetrating the most vital organs
without killing him, and 1t has even
been found to go through from four to

TAILORED SUITS
Bulgarian Co|orings Are Fea-
tured In Such Trimmings.

'In view of the fact that there is a
tendency this spring to favor demi-
tailored SUITS" says the Dry Goods
Economist, at has been found necessary
to use great discretion in the selection
Of trimmings. They must conform
with the styles, yet not be so conspicu
GUS as to offend women of refined
taste
"The influence Of the Balkan war is
particularly noticeable in the trim
mings. In practically every line are
included few garments showing the
Introduction Of Bulgarian colorings.
The bright reds, greens and yellows
are rather trying if not used discrimi
nately. When they are discreetly
blended, however, they are very at
tractive and add much to the effective
ness Of spring garments
"In suits, for example. sometimes
only the corners of the collars and
cuffs show Bulgarian embroideries,
either in silk or in wool Some Of the
new silks printed in the Bulgarian
shades are used for trimmings. In
some instances, however, overelabo-
rately embroidered collars and cuffs or
collars and cuffs of folds of silk in the
Bulgarian shades are being used, but
they detract from rather than add to
the appearance of suit.
''The same is true of other trim
ming ideas For example, the cutting
OF seams and the binding of garments
in colored silks are sometimes very
effective, but when overdone the beau
ty Of the garment Is diminished. Color
ed buttons can be used discriminatory
as well as bound buttonholes and loops.
but In every case the entire appear
ance can be spoilt by overlooking the
suits with too many bright colors"
