O., In London, Eng., of which the follow- ing is among the best. A certain arch- bishop, who had to travel a great deal, *bund that he was spending too mueh money on telegrams, and set to work to devise a mode of retrenchment. One day his chaplain received the following cryptogram: "John's Epistle, iii., 13- 14." The chaplain was non-plussed un- til he found the text indicated, which z'ead thus: "I had many things to write but I do not with ink and pen write -into thee; but I trust I shall shortly see thee and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name." A PIANO FOR 50 CENTS WEEK This is a golden opportunity for any- one to own an instrument.

What with the popularity of foulard silks this spring it is but natural that the ribbon weavers should try to please fickle femninity by using the same de- signs. So they have made soft silk ribbons, soft satins and messalines, with much lustre, woven them up in dark and light colors and liberally sprinkled the shin- ing surfaces with polka dots of many sizes. The dark blue ribbons with white dots in regular stripe -like lines, so closely covered that they almost look white, are among the prettiest. But there are others, with dots of two shades of a color, all copied from the foulard silks, and all of them love- ly. But there are others, with dots of two sizes or sometimes two colors or two shades of a color, all copied from the foulard silks and all of •them lovely. They will make quaint litle sashes for youngsters and oharming millinery bowe and rosettes for grown-ups as well as juveniles, on the wide flaring straw hats so much liked this spring. Paisley designs and Persian borders have also crept into the ribbon realm and there are all sorts of gay colors and combinations in these new silk bands. Minerd's Friend.

Every man who aspired to be well dressed wore his ccat se high in the collar that the back of the hat rested on it. This fashion was so prevalent that, ac- cording to Sir' Algernon West, "every hat had a crescent of cloth on the. back of the. brim to prevent the rubbing of the beaver or irritation beaver of which the hat was made, for silk hats were not then invented." And from the same authority we learn that "opera hats were unknown and in the evening a folding diapean bras was always carried under the arm. No- body but an apothecary or a solicitor would have dreamed of leaving his hat in the hall of the house where he w,s eat- ing his dinner."—From the London Chron- icle * BETTER THAN SPANKING. ,Spanking dons not eure ehndren of bed wetting.

(Youth's Companion.) • Mr. Raymond appeared at his neigh- bor's door one November evening at duek in a towering rage and uttering fierce threats against his neighbor's dog Nero. Vainly the neighbor tried to ex- plain xplain that Nero was only a puppy. " He belongs to Johnny,' he went on, "and it woudl break Johnny's heart if anything happened to hint. I think," hopefully, "that his manners will improve." "Manners," repeated Raymond. "I'm not complaining of his manners, but his nature. After he had jumped all over me he bit the back of my leg." • "That's as far as lie can reach," broke in Johnny, in n wounded tone.

But war is not the spirit to evoke in the statue of King Edward. In his case there is no need of poet or sculptor to depict the struggles of passion or the 1%srturbation of strife. What is re- quired is refinement of form, realization. with masculinity; dignity, with repose, and sense of power-- the expression of the passion, as it were, of peaceful as- piration. Within the empire, and let •us hope within the borders of Canada, there is, we trust, a sculptor who can create a statue worthy of a great king and a great career, and of a great city.

One of the strongest argument,; against reciprocity with the United States is furnished ley a wall -known American writer, Elbert Hubbard, who instances the case of the Olivers, of South Bend, Indiana, in the presenta- tion of his contention. This firm of plow ananufaeturers has recently bought it large tract of land at Ilamilton, Onta- rio, for factory purposes—the first in- veetmeiit for land,dockage, buildings and machinery being over $1,000,000• This is only a mere beginning, for be- fore the sluppiiug of plows commences the investments for materials, etc., will increase, according to the writer, about twenty-five fold. This means that the firm will build up and maintain a popu- lation equal to a city of 25,000 people. The tendency of trade is towards deeen- tralization, he claims, and as a big fac- tory gets so big, when it is enlarged, it must be enlarged as a unit—that is, an entire new plant must be built, dupli- cating the first. The Olivers had to duplicate their South Bend plant, and while its location would naturally be at their home 'town, where they control an immense water power and own 1,000 acres of land adjoining their present site, Mr. Hubbard points out that, for emin- ently sound and safe reasons, a site in Canada is chosen instead. Thcee are that while Canada has only one-tenth act the population of the United States, its available agricultural area is fully as large as that of the Republic. Canada needs plows, and has the money to buy them. But she can't buy the South Bend. make, on account of the prohibit- ive tariff. While the Olivers never before eater - ed to Canadian trade, because they could not, they had a very large busi- ness with South America, Europe and the Orient, The Canadiirn manufac- turer, Mr. Hubbard says, k very much better situated to take care of a for- eign trade than the American manu- facturer for two reasons; First, the United States has no merchant marine, and, second—to quote Mr. Hubbard's words—"We have 'barred the products of the 'world in a good many instances, and the countries that we bar in turn bar us." This the writer defines as commercial reciprocity. It is contend- ed that Russia, for instance, is, in Can- adian custom house p•arlanee, "a favored nation." and tilt goods made in Can- ada enter Russia free, but that a high Russian tariff bars United States goods. The writer also points out that in the making of ploughs six ingredients enter: Wood, iron, paint, labor, enter- prise and capital; that the United States is getting short .of wood, of which Canada has plenty, ,,nd that the Canadian lumber, which is needed across the line, is kept out by the Am- erican tariff. Canada, too, it is he,d, has large iron beds, practically un- touched, and the coal to smelt it. Foodstuffs, too, are cheaper in Canada than in the United States, and this is a cheapening factor in the Iabor mar- ket. Mr. Hubbard finds that the hard- headed business men who are coming here with capital and enterprise are not dreamers or theorists and are sim- ply following the American invasion of our fertile agricultural regions, and he reaches the conoiusion that: "Your capitalist and man of enterprise knows what he is doing. Ile figures that with the tariff between Canada and the States as it is, the natural re- sources of Canada practically untapped, Chadian investments are eminently wise and safe. "Next. in rase of any disturbance or change in tariff relations either up or down or wiped out entirely, with free trade between the eountries, he ie still safe. "The Olivers are not politicians, lob. The failure of the authorities is due to a peculiar sentiment that takes hold of dog -owners and makes them indif- ferent toward the losses and dangers of their fellow -citizens. The man who would allow his infected fruit trees to be cut down or his diseased hogs to be killed would go to unreasonable lengths and expose both his neighbors and their cat- tle to the danger of rabies rather than allow an infected dog to be injured or restrained. o -a For Your.
