The Federal Male Chorus, the

First to SUGGEST Free Trade

The principles of free trade were
first advocated by Adam Smith Q723-
1900 in his wealth of Nations" pub
lished in 177B, Until 1876 the doctrine
made slow progress, but after the re
peal of the corn laws In that year,
through the instrumentality of Rich
ard Golden, the new views made rapid
progress in public favor. CONNER
cial treaty between England and
France based on the principles of free
trade, was signed in Paris January %
1860, by Lord Cowley and Richard
Golden, and by the French ministers
Baroche and Rouher.
1t is said that the expression free
trade" originated with Henry Grattan
in the British parliament in 1779 and
was used in reference to the restric-
tons placed on Irish trade by the Brit
ish parliament.

Export Figures ShorD
Origin of Shipments

To serve shippers in the interior,
particularly in the Middle Western
states, the Department of Commerce is
compiling statistics of exports by states
of original shipments. The depart
ments statistical reports have pre-
viously shown only the exterior ports
from which export freight cleared for
foreign countries.
Under the new arrangement, all
goods shipped on through bills Of lad
ing, for which the declarations are pre-
pared by the shiAppr lr the interior,
will be credited T" the interior state of
shipment. GoOus consigned from in
terror places to seaboard ports, to be
there consolidated or reconsigned for
export, will also be credited TO the
state of original shipment if an eX-
port declaration prepared by the in
terror shipper, showing the place of
original shipment is filed at the Gus
tom house.
Merchandise forwarded from the in
terror to the seaboard for export by
commission merchants, forwarding, or
other export agents, and the export
declaration prepared by them will in
most cases be shown as exported from
the port of final shipment, and will so
appear in the statistical reports.

What Turkish Women
Say About Marriage

Few travellers have had the oppOr-
tunities to learn the circumstances and
the views of life characteristic of the
secluded women of the Turkish harems
that Miss Grace Ellison, the English
writer has enjoyed. She declares that
she has never seen an "old maid" in
Turkey and does not believe that such
a thing exists. Then she goes on:
l have talked with many Turkish
brides and have received many conf
dences; the whole question of mar
riage in Turkey has always interested
me immensely. The first Turkish
bride l ever met, long years ago, had
never seen her husband before mar
riage and had detested him from the
first. There was nothing the matter
with him." she admitted except that
l didn't like him." Ultimately she man
aged to escape, married a man of her
own choice and was much more I'M
happy with him than she had been
with the first.
Another bride told me that as a great
favor she was allowed to see her future
husband, and that she has regretted it
ever since! "The dreadful imprudence
seems to have robbed life of all it's
romance!" she said.
Yet one more confession! 81 peeped
through the lattice window to look at
him as he walked past" said another.
"Quite an uninteresting little man, but
he was my fate, and l might have got
something worse"
But at her wedding I found a tall
and handsome bridegroom. "What
does this meant" I asked. "What has
happened?'
And she answered quite calmly: 81
must have looked at the wrong man."

Deceivlnq the Men.

The fair young thing was making
her first long trip alone and had been
warned of bold, bad men and the many
dangers that beset her path.
She had to change trains and was
puzzled, so she said to a young man
Sir, what train do | take?"
where are you going?" he in
quired.
She glared icily and swept on to
another. One of those dreadful men.
This was repeated three times. Finally
she asked the ticket man, and when
he asked where she was going she
hesitated and then boldly said: Lion

He put her on the London train. and
just as it was drawing out of the sta
ton she leaned out of the window and
shouted back: 'Ha, ha, l fooled you
I'm going to Birmingham"

PSYCHOLOGY OF YOUR WATCH
Running Tirnepiece May often Be A.
fected by the Wearer's Mood,
Says Writer.

Il can't understand why this watch
doesn't keep proper time. l paid a
good price for it, too
Time and again one hears words to
this effect from unfortunate people who
simply cannot get a watch to record
correctly the unceasing march Of old
Father Time, says a writer. In very
many cases, however, 1t is not the fault
of the watch at all, but of the wearer's
temperament, for modern timepieces
are so delicately adjusted that they are
affected by this
A case is recorded of a woman who
was constantly taking her watch to
the maker with complaints that it was
either too fast or too slow. SO tired
did he become of her constant visits
that he wore the watch for a week
himself, and found that it kept perfect
time. He then made inquiries, and
found that the woman was a sufferer
from nervous complaint; at times she
was alert and vivacious, and at others
she was the victim of fits of depression.
When she was in the latter mood the
watch went slow, but when she was
bright and lively it gained.
Many men who limp, or have some
other popularity in their walk, have
been unable to wear watch which
keeps correct time. Even changing the
pocket in which it is generally carried
has been known to have disastrous
effect on the best of timepieces
Engine drivers have, on occasions,
found that their watches kept perfect
time as long as they were working on
one route, but directly they went onto
relief duty and had to drive over lines
with which they were not acquainted,
their watches became hopelessly out of
order.
When you take your watch to be reg
ulated, you should, if possible, tell the
watch repairer the circumstances in
which the instrument went wrong
Watches also have a peculiar effect
upon one another. Suppose that ten
watches are placed upon shelf all
going and keeping perfect time. With
them put two other watches-one that
is going but is irregular, and another
that keeps correct time but has stopped,
In the majority of cases it will be
found that the ten watches which were
already on the shelf will have so great
an influence on the newcomers that
they will stop the irregular timekeeper
and set the other going. An

(By L. w, Wooster, Washington
Junction)
When making your preserves, to
every three pounds of sugar, add one
pound of strained honey. 1t will
greatly add to the flavor, and increase
the cost only trife. Just try it this
season.
The time to purchase your straw
berries for preserving is in the mid
die of the strawberry season, and
that will be, this year, from July 8
to Is. Engage them in advance, di-
rect from the grower. He can then
give you better berries and make the
lowest price, as he will then, for a
few days, have surplus. Later they
will be poorer and higher.
