Vice-Consul Doyle, of Manchester longed all perished, which they need not England, gives American manufacturers have done had they only ventured to and merchants some valuable advice in tread water as the dog did. As regard to the exportation of commodities a certain ship was laboring heav- intended for sale in England. Mr.'ily in the trough of the sea it Doyle writes at length on the Joose man-| was found needful, in order to lighten uer in which farm products are packed by the vessel to throw some troop-horses our merchants, and furnishes hints that overboard which had been taken in at

engaged in manufacturing cotton eloth | for makivg coverings for American When covered with the catton)

hams, cloth, iams imported from the United States are sold as English hams at a’ sharp advanee,and the same thing is done, with American cheese. If American! hams and ‘cheese were thus covered and, prepared for the English market before | exportation they weuld be made more! saleable and command better prices. Mr. Doyle says our merchants should, carefully etndy the English system of sup-. plying retail dealers, and a more direct|

way of reaching those agencies should |

He recommends the for-: mation of partnerships between Ameri- can and British produce dealers, much the same as English houses now have with the foreign trade in many parts of; the world for the supply and sale of manufactured goods of various kinds. Mr. Doyle believes that under proper! management, and with cheap and quick transit with steamship lines between American and English ports now furnish, our surplus food supplies could be placed | in the hands of retail and central dis- tributing dealers, without the delay and expense now caused by middlemen, and ‘hus secure to our people a ly increased price, Such __ partner- ships would give American mer- chants all the advantage now enjoyed! by English dealers, and as American produce would be thus properly placed, most of the risks American merchants now have would be largely avoided. Dr. Doyle says there should be no difficulty in making butter in the United States equal to the English, and if this were done a much higher price and a never- failing market for it could be secured

classed low in English markets. The Lendon Times, in recently reviewing Mr. Clate 8S. Reed’s report upon the agricultural interests in the United States, editorially declared that American butter does not even enter into competi- tion with the products of our dairies. American butter-makers are alone to blame for this state of things ; they should study well the tastes and require- ments of the English market. here has bees a _ decided improve-. ment in the quality of American butter within the past two years, and the trade there has been quick to note and to take advantage of this fact. A prime article will always command a good market, while a poor quality is a drag invariably. Fresh- made and and lightly-salted butter is what England demands. To meet this trade great care should be taken to work the but- ter dry and make it sweetand firm. The butter-makers in England are specially trained and well-paid for their work. It is a trade almost in itself, and a first-class butter-maker is never out of employment. Our cheese ranks well, and is winning new victories every year, and for the reason that eur system of manufacturing has been greatly improved latterly. Consul Doyle believes that American butter and cheese producers need have no fears abeut seeur- ing an excellent market for their surplus stock in Great Britain, providing the quality is equal to the best British dairies. It is a question, first, of excellence in quality, and second, an improvement in the method of promptly supplying English re- tail dealers.

SWIMMING.

WHAT MEN AND ANIMALS HAVE DONE.

Men and animals are able to sustain themselves for long distances in the water, and would do so much oftener were they net incapacitated, in regard to the former at least, by sheer terror, as well as complete ignorance of their real powers. Webb’s wonderful endurance will never be forgotten. But there are other instances only less remarkable. Some years since the second maie of a ship fell overboard while fisting a sail. It was blowing fresh, the time was night, and the place some miles out in the stormy German Ocean, The hardy fellow nevertheless managed to gain the English Coast. Brock, with a number of other pilots, was plying for fares by Yarmouth, and as

the wain sheet was belayed. a sudden puff of wind upset the boat, when presently all perished

except Brock himself, who from four in the afternoon of an October day to one o'clock the next morning swam thirteen miles befere he was able to hail a vessel at anchor in the offing. Animals them- setves are capable of swimming immense distances, although unable to rest by the way. A dog recently swam thirty miles in Amerie. in order to rejoiu his master. A mule and a dog washed overboard

Corunna, The pour things, my informant, a staff surgeon, said, when they found themselves abandened, faced round and swain for miles after the vessel. A man on the cost of Lincolashire saved quite a number of lives by swimming out on horse- back to vessels in distress. He commonly rode an old grey mare, but when the mare was not to hand he took the first horse that offered.— Nature.

HUMOROUS.

No person wants straw spelled back-

/ ward on his nose.

‘** How is your stock-in-trade? ” as the traveller said to the hosier.

John and Jane were not married after all, for though John word Jane wooed not.

A lady says thut a good lawn dress should wash well. Doesn’t a good laun- dress wash well?

Why will women never succeed as

‘railway guards?—Because their trains

are always behind.

Family secrets are what your cook tells your neighbor's cook over the area fence in the morning before you're up.

‘“* You should never love money for its own sake,’’ said a moralist to a young I never do,” she responded; “ I always love it for my own sake.”’

“+ Etiquette’ writes to enquire if it would be proper for him to support a young lady seized with faintness, even if he bad not been introduced. Proper, young man! Certainly—proper, by all means.

The Boston Post gives the following advice to a temperance enquirer. ‘ The way toresent the invitation to drink, so that the insult will never be offered again, is to take something that costs twenty- five cents a glass.”

According to the Yonkers Statesman, this is the very latest: ‘* Are you going to the ocean!’ “ No, Iam not going te the ocean—I detest the mottou ; but my sister has a notiou of going to the ocean by the way of Goshen.”

A rich patient of hypecondriacal dispo- sition detailed his imaginary woes and symptoms to his doctor. ‘My dear fellow,” said the witty physician, “ I can do nothing for you. The man who listens to himself living hears him- self dying.”

A cynic remarks that women are like postage stamps—the more you lick ’em the closer they stick. Putting aside the brutality of the sentiment, we would remind this chivalric sage that, if a post- age stamp be licked repeatedly, it won't stick at all.

The New York ‘‘ Commercial,” tells of an editor who was able to exclaim, as he looked gratefully towards heaven, ‘At last, after thirty years of indefatigable toil and strict economy, I have realized sufficient to buy myself a lot in Green- wood Cemetery !”

That a human bite is as dangerous as that of any animal is shown by an oc- currence in the German City of Munster, where a man who was bitten in one of his fingers during a fight has had the al- ternative of losing his arm or his lite. Blood poisoning set in, and a speedy amputation close to the shoulder became necessary.

The principal conditions of the Con- venticn between Great Britain and the Boers, which has recently beeu signed, are as follows :—The Suzerain retains the right of passage for. British troops through the Trausvaal in the event of war being declared by the Suzerain against the natives or neighbouring States. The Suzerain controls the for- eign relations of the Transvaal. The Imperial Government will pay the dam- ages caused by the British troops, while the Boer Goverament will pay those oc- casioned by the Boers. All claims to be paid within one movth after adjudication. The abolition of slavery and religious liberty are guaranteed. British imports into the Transvaal will suffer no restric- tion or burdens beyond which may be imposed upon those of other countries. The independence of the Swazies is guar- auteed. The duties of the British Resi- dent will be the same as those of a Con- sul-General, Shonid the Convention not be ratified by the Transvaal Volks- raad within three months from the date of signature the Queeu’s sovereignty in the Transvaal will revive,

during a gale iv the Bay of Biscay have

been known to make their way to shore.’
