rc ut. reduction On its duties permitted by ih: Dingley act. It says:

“Mr. Laurier asks that Canada shal! be gven tue benefit of the 20 per cent. reci- proci‘y section oi the Dingley law on fish, coal, barley, hay, potat es, eggs aud other products of Peake, iry. Such a concession Weuild mean the abandvament of a princi- le to which the preseut administration Fiano. COmmittd, and of which the Pres-

ident bas peen ibe foremost Gbampion for

years. The question of the free sd ission of Canadian baricy has been a bone of coi tention for years. American farmers have maintained that they are able to suppl’ sur howe demand, and have always protested strovgly against the free Imporiation of Canadian “barley,”

The star poinis out that even if a 20 pet cen! . reduction were applied to the tariff in Cuosdian raw materiais sent into the State~ the barley duty would be cat down only from 30 ceut-® bushel to 24 cents; butter would get it di a trifle less than 4 cebte & pOtind inetead of 6c; eggs would pay 4 cents in place of 5c, and so on, Aad yet the Times-Herald would regard so much reciprocity as this as implying “the abandummect of a principle * * of which be President has be. ihe foremost chaw pivo for years.”

—Wxil and Evwpire: Tue Laurier Goy- ernment insisted upon getting the opinion of the P»pe un the schoo!

The Papa! response to it, as reported, although adver-e to the arravgement reached, coun-els moderation, which is s good thing. While the answer to Sir Wiltrid’s reterenue to tbe Pope will astonish no one, tor Leo is a statesman as well ae an ecclesi«-tic, the official invitation to His Holine-s to adjudicate will continue to be & waiter for eurprise. It will go down iato history as the first offical appeal by a

Canadian Government for the Papal | ratific«tion of ite policy. WHISKEY.

“The theory that for successful farming muscle is the only thing needful, made a man @ bayseed, no matter if be came to town with a collar high enough to saw his ears off. He was neither a stall-fed, cultivated nor fertilized agriculturist. Emerson said aim high. Jackson said aim low. Which was right?

Not the Chinese alone practiced medicine ia that way.

“Tbe progress of electrical science enabled the farmer to look forward to the time when there would be no more stables to clean and no more horses to eat their heads off. Butthe farm boy must not get ahead too fast and expec: to have bis hair singed and his eye teeth cut by electricity or become a beau before a moth-eateo moustache adorus his lip like the city chaps.

“J will now discuss how to make agri- culture profiiabie. This is the hardest thing I bave tried yet. Money is not the greatest thinginthe world. Keep dirt, debt and the devil out of the farm house. Money stiffens the backbone as nothing elee will. Even professing Christians will hang to their money bags until the fingers of death lay hold on the heart strings.

The man who spen de money before he earns it is the slave of him whoearnsit before he spends. Too much economyis not going to make us prosperous er we'd all be millionaires, for we practice enough of it to make us all rich.

“In conclusion, you must pound your most compact force in one spot. If farm- ing is to pay it must be systematic. You can make more money in one day tending to your own business than in a week look. ing after the affairs of your neighbors.

“ Have music and joys and vongs anid pleasures for your children. Invent oc- cupations. The place to take the true messure of & man is at his family fireside. If the farmer’s home ise bear garden his boys will goto the devilby some more congenial route.

This touched a very tender spot in the heart of the owner who was present, and when the very hearty app!ause died down he paid his compliments to Governor Fletcher for a few minutes in a manner that made the feathers fly in defence of those noble birde. Governor Fletcher was given an unanimous rising vote of thanks for the very happy entertainment he had furnished.

THE COLOR ESCORT. | ONE OF THE MCST IMPRESSIVE OF ALL MILITARY OBSERVANCES, Ceremony In Honor of the Stars and Stripes That Tou The For the

Shown by Men,

ches the Patriatic Chord. Fiag Which Is

Respect

Women and Children,

There is nothing that more conduces

to make a pre od, true and loyal soldier fhamn to inculcate in him love and re- epect for the flag he has sworn to up- | and defend. To bring about this there are certain ceremonies in the Rn that are intended to impress the wearers of the uniform with the dig- nity of the fing. One of these ceremonies is « ull i i ‘‘ascort to the color,’’ and it is the finest and most impressive ef all military observances. Every rezi- ment carries two fiags—one national, | the other the regimental, which carries the number and name of the regiment. These flags are kept at the residential quarters of the colonel or at his office,

where they are zealously cared for. It is when the reviment parades, and these flags are to he brought to the troops, that the cort to the color is carried out

egiment has formed line on the parade, the colonel details a com- pany to bring the colors and escort them to their place in the line. The company marches in column of platoons, headed by the band, which does not play as the march down the front of the line is made. The two color sergeants, old and faithful sold appointed to these de- sired places by reason of long service and military l»earing, march between the two platoons. Upon arriving in ront of the building where the flags are kept line is formed, the band stand- ing on the right of the escert.

The first lieutenant, with drawn sword, followed by the two color ser- geants, who are followed in turn by a sergeant armed with a rifie, enters the building and receives the flags. When the color bearers appear, followed by the lieutenant and the scrgeatit, they halt at the entrance and form lina, fag- ing the escort. Arms are presented, and the field music (the trumpeters) sound a thrilling call named ‘‘To the color,’’ during the sound of which all stand mo- tionless, with arms at the present. After the sounding of the color has ended arms are brought to the order, and then column of platoons is reformed, the two color sergeants taking places be- tween the two platoons, and thus guard- ed, the march is taken up, the band playing a spirited air.

Around the shady main avenue of the post marches the escort, each soldier erect and appearing as if he felt that the flags were iutrusted to him alone in- stead of to the company of which he forms so small a part. How each man steps out to the strains of the march, probally Sovsa’s inspiring ‘‘Stars and Stripes Forever.’’ Down past the offi- cers’ quarters, the porches cf which are filled with the wives, daughters and sweethearts of the officers parading, goes the escort.

The respect for the flag is not con- fined to the wearers of the army blue, for as the escort passes each house these true and loyal women cease their talk and stand quietly till the flag has passed, when the interesting discussion or the latest news is resemed. Past a group of enlisted men not required to attend the parade marches the escort. Fech man stands ‘‘attention,’’ and re- moves his cap. A group of small boys at play is next passed. Every one, a true soldier’s son, stands, cap in hand, till Old Glory has passed. I have seen this same small boy grow up, pass through the ‘‘Point’’ and command ane of the platoons in the escort after grad- uation and maybe in the same company commanded by his father. This march around the post has at last brought the escort opposite the right of the line of paraded troops, when the colonel com- mands attention, and down the line passes the glittering guard.

On reaching a point in the front of the center of the paraded command the escort forms line facing the regiment, the two color sergeants marching to the front till 12 paces in front of the colonel and his staff. Arms are then presented to the flags by command of the colonel, and while the trumpeters again sound **to the color’’ the fiags are allowed to fly to the breeze, the lances are lowered in acknowledgment of the ‘‘present,’’ and now the moment is one to fill the soul of every lover of his country with a thrill that is indescribable. The silk and tasseled flags, caught by the rays of the sun, shine and glisten in front of the solid ranks of blue ang gold uni- forms massed across the deep green gward of the parade ground—a picture difficult for any pen to portray.

After the sounding of the color the two sergeants march to their places in the parade, and the escorting company, having faithfully carried out its sacred duty, now wheels inte column of pla- toons and, headed by the band wigp in- spirirg music, proceeds on down the lige and around in the rear of the regi- ment, whence, without music, it goes to its proper place in the line, and the formal dress parade is begun. After pa- rade the color guard escorts the flags to the place where they are preserved.— Lieutenant B. W. Atkinson, U. S. A., in St. Nicholas _

Doymaking.

A great many toys are now made in this country, including many mechan- ical devices. Many toys are still im- ported. Such things as woolly sheep and dogs, now as highly prized by children as ever, come from Germany, as do the

skin covered horses. They could be made here, but they can be preduced cheaper abroad.

Asa rule, whatever can be made by machinery is made here, while toys made by hand are mostly imported. The minute a thing is brought within the reach of machinery American man- ufacturers can pay their higher prices for labor and still beat the world.

With the low prices of labor in foreign countries handmade productions can he made them. As a result of this there are toys of some kinds which

cheaper in

in their completed state are partly American and partly foreign. Among these are toy vehicles with horses at-

tached. The vehicles and everything in

and about them may be the product of

American achinery, while the horse American machinery, wl ie hors standing between the shafts may be
