Some Practical and Exceilent Sug- gestions for our Farmers and Men
of Business. By Mr. James Paton.
We are told in the Good Book, that ‘‘in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread.” That is the key noteof commerce. It is bythe sweat of the working maa that great ship: are built to span the oceans and bring to us the fruits and manutac- tures of all nations. It was by the aweat of the brow that the C.P. R., was bail from Halifax to Vancouver. All the wealth ofa Klondike could not do it. It is the patieottoiler,whether on the farm or in the workshop, that rules trade and commerce and acatters happiness over the globe.
Can you imagine the happiness that a single tradesman is going to give to the child that receives fora Xmas box that beautiful wax doll he hae made? I tell you, gentlemeu, that by the tradesman’e skill, pleasure and happy homes are made, and every nail that is driven in making a wooden horse means happiness to the boy who receives it.
To attempt to describe the thousand and one achievements of commercial enter- prise that have distinguished Canada the past twenty-five years ie an undertaking I will not veoture. The great factories of varied kinds are monuments throughout Canada of its growing greatness in the commercial world.
Great credit is due tothe men who in- troduced the National Policy, and mucb eredit may be given to the present Federal Government for continuing the same. As the Guardian said a few mornings ago, “No Liberal leader is likely while in power to introduce a policy of free trade.”
I can remember the first time I crossed the Atlanticio purchase goode for this Island I had a hundred and one articles on my list then that are now made in Canada, and to the honor ef Canadian manufacturers, made better and more suit- able to our requirements and at a more moderate price than we can now. import.
f course if Cavada is going to make an effort for the world’s markets the manu- facturer must keep abreast of the times by using the most modern machinery 80 that labor wil be economized. Thev must also be ass 8 ed ag much as _ possible by the government allowing, free of duty, raw material which is not produced in this country.
The situation of Canada is of great ad- vantage to commercial enterprise, lying as itdoes between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, half way house between the Bri- tish Isles, China and Australian colony. Our eastern provinces being five or six hundred miles nearer Liverpool than New York, in many respects gives us an ad~ vaaotage over that port; and with our coal and iron mines at the very gates of the Atlantic, our gold and other minerals from Nova Scotia to the Klondyke, and our country made up of persevering and indomitable people, surely we are destined to become a great commercial nation.
The railway system of Canada is one of the greatest agencies in helping our com- mercial pursuits. The C. P. &. and I. C. R. span our great rivere, scale our moun- tains and have opened upto tbe markets of the world one of the largest wheat pro ducing countries on the globe.
The epirit of mordern progress ie mani- fest in Canada,and, a!though we do not see

its0 much down here, yet any one who travels further west, cannot help noticing the push and energy in the larger cities. In some things we are ahead of the Uniied States. But from the Americaus we might take many tradeand commercial lessons. See the strides they are making in trade. In 1898 their export trade was $504, 000- 000 more than it was in 1889. Germany for the same period increased $211,000
British exports for the same period decreased $109,000,000 Great Britaiz and her colonies take more thau half of al! the American exports. Great Britain alone took last year from the United Siates $5.1,816,000.
Can we not look fora bit of this trade from tha mother country? Canada took trom the United States $89,573,000. And yet the United States is not satiefied with this great increase.
No later than last month the greatest commercial gathering that ever met in the world met at Philadelphia for the exp-ese purpose of discusring the best meaus t) increase the foreign export trade, and to enc@urage this great undertaking which was organized through the Commercial Museum, the United States Government gave $350,000 to help to defray expenses, We need not be surprised at a nation mak- ing such strides as the United States iv makiog when we find such energy put forth not only by the individuel but by the Govermment of the country.
There is a bigger race than s yacht race going on betweem the United States and Great Britain, and the States are hauling up fast. They now etand first in exports of hardware, production of steel, iron, grain, reilway freight traffic, paid up railway capital, meat products ; second in ral.way passenger traffic, second in the manufacture of textiles,
Are we in Canada neglecting to utilize the resources God hss eo wonderfully placed at our command. Is Canada in the race for the world’s markets ?
Is our Federal Government forth all its efforts to increase our export trade? Are our own farmers eodeavoriog to export the best and cleanest oats and potatoes? Our dairying factories makiog and exportiag the best cheese and butter and our lobster packers careful in packing and exporting the very beat? If a0 we are safe, as no doubt the trade of the world, whatever it may be, will pass into the bands of the best producers. And as France is famed for its silks anj kid | gloves, Scotland for ite shipbuilding, so let Caoada become famous in the commer. cia! world by exporting the best produts | of the soil, the dairy, the orchard and the oom, :

The Inquisitive Tongue. The curiosity of the tongue does not cause the human being so much trou- ble as the curiosity of the eye. But the tongue, within its limits, is the most curious of all.
Let the dentist make a change in the mouth, let him remove a tooth or re- place with his admirable artifice one that has long been absent, let him change the form of a tooth by round- ing off a corner or building up a cavity and see what the tongue will do. It will search out that place, taking care- ful and minute account of the change. Then it will linger near the place. If it is called to other duties, it comes beck as soon as they are discharged and feels the changed place all over again, as if it had not explored and rummaged there already.
It makes no difference that these re- peated investigations presently cause annoyance to its supposed master, the man. ‘The tongue in nothing more than in this matter proves that it is an unruly member and will not be con- trolled.
It seems to have an original will and consciousness of its own, and nothing will serve it except the fullest satisfac- tion of its curiosity. It will wear itself eut, perhaps, but it will find out all about the strange change. — Boston Transcript.
The Moon’s Atmosphere,
The recent conclusions of the French scientists, MM. Loewy and Puiseux, as to the possible presence of some gas- eous envelope on the moon’s surface are of very general interest. After giving reasons for concluding that the formidable yoleanic eruptions of which the moon has been the theater belong to a recent time in the history of our satellite, they point out that these erup- tions must have set at liberty great quantities of gas or vapors, while the diffusion of cinders on the lunar sur- face to great distances infers a gaseous envelope of a certain density.
Has the time, they ask, which has elapsed since the great eruptions suf- ficed to bring about the tctal disap- pearance of this gaseous envelope? Considering that the already solidified lunar surface could only have absorb- ed the gases slowly and with difficulty, they conclude that from their exami- nation of the lunar surface there are serious grounds for believing that there exists at the present time residue of atmosphere of which the de- tection, surrounded as it is with great difficulties, may yet be realized.

When Jay Gould Wrestied.
Jchn Burroughs, the writer, was in his boyhood days a schoolmate of Jay Gould. To Theodore Dreiser, who tells the story in The New Voice, Mr. Bur- roughs gave this anecdete of Gould:
He was shrewd, but not a bad fel- low at all. I remember that once we had a wrestling match. As we were about even in strength, we agreed to abide by certain rules, taking what we cailed “holts” in the beginning and not breaking them until ene or the other was thrown. I kept to this when we began wrestling, but when Jay realized that he was in danger of losing he broke “holts” and threw me. Wher I said he had broken his agree- ment, he only laughed and said, “I threw you, didn’t 1?’ That irritated me, aud I kept arguing the original point, but he only laughed the more and covered my taunts with the same answer. He had won, and it pleased him, though I often wondered how he could take any satisfaction in it.
