BULL AND UNCLE SAM BRITAIN SURPRISES AMERICA IN MANY THINGS. British Biscuits and Bicycles the Best, While British Beef Is Best. The supremacy of British eggs and baron Is being threatened by Ameri- can breakfast foods. do the dealers say. Yet there is a closely -allied product to the cereal foods now garnishing every grocer's window, in which we aro heating the Americans hollow on their own ground says I'earson's Weekly. In biscuit -making Britain stands unrivalled to -day. The American sniffs bis noeu at his native "crack- er," a:tc1 the British makers are pouring their products into the Uni- ted States despite the 45 per cent. protective duty. This practically means that the British manufacturer bas to pay a halfpenny for the priv- ilege of iritroducing a penny biscuit into the United States. Yet the de- mand throughout the States for the British article is such that one Bri- tish house has boon compelled to es- tablish a branch factory in Chicago. The Americans, again, are circu- lating abroad descriptions of trials between their makes of locomotive engine and ours. In these cor.•t.ests naturally the Amerinane are well to the front. I(ut what about. the recant trials on the l gyptian Government rail- ways betwnv, ton American and ten British locomotives? The conditions wore slightly in favor of the Amer - lean engines, but the result was an absolute success for those of British make. While the total weight of the train hauled by one American en- gine, for example, was 443 tons, the opposing British engine had to pull a train weighing 555 tone. The American engine consumed 4 tons of coal, the British only 21. Tho British engine did its work with ease, the American with difficulty. BRITISH BEEF AND MUTTON are the finest in the world. Who- ever tasted a succulent sirloin or a juicy chop in New York, mattes it chanced to be of Itritish importa- tion'? Strange as it may appear, quantities of British dead stoc6t are as a matter of fact exported to America. An "Lnglihh chop" over there 18 a luxury, figuring only in the menus of first. -rate clhbs and res- taurants. Its price is three times that of the native article. Arrterlc'an bicycles in Great Britain aro n practically unsaleable. Yet at ons tame the Antcricata threaten- ed to '7( eV tar market. They came in just st the smash of the Ilooley compattitc: when our cycle firms could nut ieefend themselves. Every- thing was :n their facer for captur- ing the crtre.to of the British trade.

But the Brit- ish public sadly shook its head. SHIPS BUILT CHEAPER. When Mr. I'ierpont Mcegan bought up the White Star line, he also thought he would later buy up the whole British mercantile marine. ile is wiser now. The read fact is that American shipowners prefer to put their vessels under the !Waist' flag, because of the extra const of an Am- erican crew. When they sail their ships under the Stars and Stripes, the pay -roll alone is increased by fifty per cent. '1'o the building of ships the sante reason appliev. 5o long as a 10,000 ton vessel costs =2,000,000 to build in Americo, and can be turned out tri Great Britain for abdut $1,250,000, it is scarcely likely that AnlerriCan owners will be anxious to have their vns.9ela built on their own side of the Atlantic. So struck were the Americans at the phenomenal euccees which has attended the Corporation manage- ment of the electric tramway sys- tem Ira Liverpool, that an invitation was reeintly sent Mr. C. II. Bellamy, the manager, to attend a tramway convention in New York. The Cor- poration committee unanimously granted Mr. Bellamy permission to accept the American invitation, and by now the Americana probably know more about municipal manage- ment than they did. However, they are not above going to Britain to learn, if we are in11is• posed to go to there. T1II•; (11•:NERAI. MANAGER did." said Polly, "and for exnmple, and general superinten- that.

Everyone remembers the tobacco war—how confident Mr. Duke was at the outset—and how ultimately he "drew in his horns," and confided to an interviewer that "it was after all a grand thil.b In every way for the British and Americans to work together." That, of course, was when Mr. Duke had reached the point of feeling very glad the Brit- ish Imperiaf Tobacco Company were about to offer him terms. TILE BATTLE OF BOOTS. Tho battle of boots, too, how it raged. British boot seal shoe maim - lecturers had braved many alarms of foreigu competition -one day French, next Austr•uin or Sales. 'than the roan wit�he drawl came along. However, day there are pa'obably less that wo per cent. of real American bouts on the market. Half of those you see ire the shop window are labelled "American" it is true, brut all the same for that the greater proportion of them are, aa a platter of fact, made in Bri- tain. This also means that our own bootmakers at No: thautpt on and elsewhere consider thotnsetvee as good as the Americans any day, and that if Britons want boots labelled "Americ'an," and matte in the Aruer- Iran style, they can have them. "Anything to give satisfaction,," say the manufacturers. "'They'll never never know the difference." They do not know the difference, and it is an extraordinary fact—ago well are British manufacturers now able to turn out "American" foot- wear—that one cute Yanked dealer has recently found it worth his while to make more than one shipment of their goods to America itself. LIKES BRI'T'ISH GOODS. What, however, on the Americans' own admission, "riles" them is the fact that, dtspite the much -talked - of Monroe doctrine, the trade of all South America is mainly in Euro- pean hands.

A new era appears to have opened for Ireland. Not only will she be a manufacturer of tobacco, but she appears likely to be able to grow a good leaf of her own. From the lands of Col. Nugent Jlly- ereed, in Itandaistown, County Meath, twenty acres of tobacco have been harvested, and I'roftwsor J. N. Harper, of Kentucky University, the American tobacco expert, describes it as "a tobacco crop of the highest quality, quite equal to that in Vir- ginia and Kentucky." Professor Har- per also pr0nouneen the Irish climate to be almost perfectly suited for to- bacco culture. Cul Everard has been supported by the Irish Department of Agriculture and his is the first experiment in producing a tobacco crop in Ireland on a conunercial and practical scale. The Department of Agriculture agreed to assist anyone who would experiment with tobacco culture to the extent of ten acres by bearing the cost of the drying and curing plant. Cod. P,verard agreed to lay down twenty acres. The best pro- curable seed wus brought from Vir- ginia, and planted early in the tarring, and since Sektentaaer the pro- cess of curing, sorting aim! drying has given employment to a number of local hands. The twenty acres have yielded about 14.00(1 pounds weight of leaf. This is a remarkable result for what is practically int initial experiment; it is estimated, however, that the av- erage yield per acre will be about 1.01)0 pounds of tobacco. Dublin manufacturers and experts have valu- ed the samples already grown as high as i0 cents a pound for the best leaves. 'l'he Government has removed the prohibition against tobaec•o culture, and le elert•eke:s to refund to the gee, '•• tineetltlrlJ of the they levied. The concession, however, is limited to five farrnern to undertake the heavy initial years. and it is im- possible to expect cost. for this lim- ited period. l'll)l'kll•, T.\ in' RIG ii'r.
