The deliberations of the national reciprocity convention in Washington and the prospective congressional ac tion on the subject of reciprocal trad# awaken special interest in the reel piocltv blntory of tho T T nltf»*l StfltPH. The reciprocity treaties and agree ments which this country has entered Into or projected since 1850, when the Idea of reciprocal trade was first en tertained, are: First. —An agreement made with Canada which operated from 1865 to 1866. under which the Cnlt ed States admitted free of duty from Canada treads tuffs, provisions, live animals, fruits, poul try, hides, skins and furs, ores and metals, timber and lumber, cotton, flax and hemp and unmanu factured tobacco, Canada also admitting the same irticles from the United States free of duty. Second.—An agreement with the Hawaiian Is lands existed from 1576 to 1900 by which the Unlt- Kl States admitted tree of duty sugar and molasses and other tropical products of those islands, and they admitted free of duty breadstuffs. provisiona and general merchandise from the United States. Third.—The treaties made In 1881-82 under the act of ISOO with Brazil—Spain for Cuba and Porto Rico, United Kingdom for the British West In itios and British Guiana; Dominican Republic, Salvador, Nicaragua and Guatemala in Central America. Under these the United States agreed to admit free of duty sugar, molasses, coffee and hides from the countries mentioned, and in ex change for that privilege those countries agreed to certain concessions on goods from the United States, admitting free of duty a considerable number of articles and reducing the duty on a larger number, these articles being mainly manu factured goods—machinery, farm implements, naval stores and railway supplies and in some in stances cereals and provisions. Under the same act reciprocal trade relations were entered into with Germany, France and Austro-Hungary, which covered the free admission of a limited numbef of articles and the reduction of the tariff on ■ considerable number of others. Fourth.—Agreement made in 189S under the act of 1897 with France by which the United States reduces the rate of duty on tartar, brandies, atill wines and paintings, and France extend* lta mini mum tariff rates to canned and prepared meats; alio fruits, hops, timber and lumber in the United States. Similar agreements were also made In 1900 with Germany, Portugal and Italy. AU of the recent agreements with France, Germany, Portugal and Italy are now In existence. Fifth.—There are pending and unratified treaties which provide for (1) the reduction of 12H per cent duty on sugar, molasaes, fruits and asphalt from the British West Indies and Guiana and the removal or reduction of the duty on a large list of agricultural products and manufactures enter ing those colonies from the United 9tates; (2) a reduction of 20 per cent In the duty on sugar, hides and certain gTades of wool from Argentina entering the United States and a reduction In the Argentina duty on a large lUt of foodstuffs and manufactures from the United States; (3) a re duction of from 5 to 20 per cent on certain manu factures entering the United States from France and the application of the minimum tariff of Fiance to most of the articles entering that coun try from the United States. Tn addition to these there are pending treaties with Nicaragua, Ecua dor, the Danish West Indies and the Dominican Republic, from which the Injunction of secrecy las not as vet been removed. The reciprocity convention embodied its views in a resolution recommend ing to congress "the maintenance of the principle of protection for the home market and to open up by reciprocity opportunities for Increased foreign trade by special modification of the tartfT in special cases." It also recom mended the creation of a new depart ment to be called "the department of commerce and industries," the Lead of which shall be a member of the presi dent's cabinet and one of Its divisions or bureaus a permanent reciprocity commission charged with the duty of "Investigating the conditions of any Industry and reporting the same to the president and congress for guidance In negotiating reciprocal trade agree ments." i The fact that most of the Immigrants coming to this country last year settled In the populous states of the east In stead of going to the newer sections of ] the west, which most need Immigrants, i Is a feature of the Immigration prob- j lem likely to receive attention. In this ] connection the commissioner of imml- \ gratlon suggests that congress make ■ laws "for the purpose of distributing j the alien population with some refer ence to the industrial law of supply and demand." It is difficult to sec, how ever, how congress can prevent the , newcomers from going wherever they , choose after they have once been ad- ] rnitted. , The British embassador to Constan- J tinople Is now energetically pressing the outstanding Itritlsh claims against Turkey. The moral effect of France's ' naval loop off Mltylene Is likely to be ' more farreaching than the sultan sup posed when he agreed under duress to settle the French claim. Some of the first families of New York are likely to get offended if Bish op Potter does not stop twitting on certain notorious facts In his vehement denunciation of modern divorce. They may consider his remarks as personal. The British peeresses and the Amerl- j can multimillionaires are now in a jew- j el contest which promises to outshine t anything of its kind that ever occurred 1 before.

V WRECK NEAR MOORESBURU A Freight Train Breaks in Two and Comes Together with a Crash, A freight wreck occurred between Mooresburg and Pottsgrove shortly af ter noon yesterday, which resulted in the derailment of five cars loaded with soft coal. The freight, which was South bound, broke in two at the middle just as it was approaching a steep grade,the two sections coming together with a crash just as the first half was slowing up.

The game of basket ball between Dan ville and Susquehanna University at Selinsgrove resulted in defeat f< >r our boys. The game wan played on a floor 24xMt feet with four coal oil lamps for light. The cramped quarters made it difficult to pass the ball. As a matter of fact there was only one pass made during the evening and that was by Danville. Although probably over con fident in the first part of the first half. Danville never played better than in the second half. The entire game was fast and furious, with continual fouling by Susquehanna University. Four fouls were called on Danville and nine on Selinsgrove. The line-up: DANVILLE.

She complained of pains in her chest and had a bad cough. I gave her Chamberlain 's Cough Remedy according to directions and in two days she was well and able togo to school. I have used this remedy in my family for the past seven years and have never known it to fail," says James Prender gast, merchant, Annato Bay, Jamaica, West India Islands. The pains in the chest indicated an approaching attack of pneumonia, which in this instance was undoubtedly warded of by Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. It counteracts any tendency of a cold toward pneumo nia. Sold by Patties & Co. Annoying Habit. The habit of some of our theatre-goers are acquiring of bestirring themselves, putting on their wraps, hunting up their rubbers, and otherwise making an all around nuisance of themselves during the final moments in the closing scenes of a play is not only ill bred, but posi tively annoying to people who want to hear the concluding words, and see the last action before the curtain falls. These people should remember that the lights will not be turned off nor the doors locked until every one is out of the opera house. They can have all the time they want to make confusion after the curtain is down. There are not a great many people who annoy in this way, but the fewer we have the better. A Good Recommedation. "I have noticed that the sale on Chamberlain 's Stomach & Liver Tablets almost invariably to those who have once need them, '' says Mr. J. H. Weber, a prominent druggist of Cascade, lowa. What better recommendation could any medicine have than for people to trail for it when again in need of snch a remedy? Try them when yon feel dull after eating, when you have a bad taste in your month, feel bilious, have no ap petite or when troubled with constipa tion, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief which they af ford.

The Starting Point of Most Ills is Express ed Inability to get Refreshing sleep. Everything changes and among others is the marked increase in the number of i people who fail to get restful sleep, they awake with a start twitch or jump and cannot get to sleep again. Usually other symptoms follow along and in creased in proportion until restless sleep ; is allayed. Then brain, heart, stomach —every vital organ assumes its normal condition, because their controlling power—Nerve Force is restored. There is no doubt in Danville now about Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills great in- 1 finence in promoting Nerve Force. Mr. C. II Stoes of No. 217 E. Mabon- < ing Street.

It saved ' my little boy's life and I feel that I can not praise it enough. I bought a bottle of it from A. E. Steere of Goodwin, S. D,and when I got home with it the poor baby could hardly breathe. I gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes nutil he "threw up" and then I thought sure he was going to choke to death. We had to pull the phlegm out of his month in great long strings.

THL ICONOCLAST By Barry Pain. "He Just talks-stands and talks as If ho couldn't stop," said the small boy when the Rev. James Dilwater had j left. "And it's always the same kind ! of thing—a long story to show what a little boy can do. And he doesn't know i the difference between a boy and a ba- j by. He doesn't know the difference be- j tween Soccer and Rugger. He doesn't j know a single blessed thing, excepti Greek and rot of that kind. He said i It was a fine thing to have a good game in the open air with a ball or a hoop or a skipping rope. Fact, he did. It won't do, you know. What's he take me for?" "What else did he say?" inquired the Interviewer. "Oh, the log cabin to White House i kind of thing. lie's hot on heroes. If you ask me, I think heroes are a good deal too much cracked up. If I got the chance to be a hero tomorrow, I wouldn't. I know chaps that would— but not me." "Why not?" "Well, take instances. Know any Roman history? No? Lucky beggar! Wish I didn't have to know any my self. In Roman history there Mas a hero called Curtius—jumped down a j bole and did for himself. There was another called Declus that went and j got himself killed by the enemy. That would be all right if you could come to life again, but you can't. And when you're dead it doesn't seem to me to j matter much whether people are cheer- j lng you and praising you and crack ing you up or whether they're not. Besides, you can't goon with any thing else. When you're dead, you stop so. When I do anything good, j I want something good for it and no ! rotten heroism. And I believe every man of sense thinks the same. Some time ago I swallowed a threepenny bit because a boy said I daren't. You see, I was a good deal more of a kid than I am now. It was rather silly of me, and it was silly of the other boy, too, be cause it was his threepence. And it wasn't properly his threepence, because It had been given him for the offertory. | The offertory had to do without It. However, as 1 was saying. I swallowed it. That got me a bit looked up to by other chaps. If you aren't afraid of swallowing a threepenny bit, then fel lows are careful how they get trying larks with you. One of the big chaps came up to me and asked if I did it, and when I said 'Yes' he said, 'Silly young devil!' He's spoken to me again since then, and he's n chap who practi cally never speaks to kids." The Interviewer suggested that he roes did not always die In the act. "No; I suppose they don't. I believe It would be better if they did. They can't keep it up to that level. They can't do the heroic everv dav. They've got to get into rows and go short of money, Just like anybody else, then they're disappointed. You don't hear much about that in the books or from the Rev. James Dilwater, but you can see for yourself that's how it would be. Heroism's like a lot of other things. If you've not got It, you don't want It. If you've ever had it. you can't do without It. It's so with smoking. There was a time when I'd never tried it and didn't care to try it." The interviewer felt it his duty to ex press a pious hope that that time still existed. "Look here! I've had half an hour of | Mr. Dilwater. Don't you begin too. It's just occasionally when I feel the need of it.l don't brag about it as some boys do, boys that have never smoked the whole of a cigarette all at one time. Hut we weren't talking about that." "No, with regard to heroism"— "Yes, there's another thing. If boys got to be awfully good at anything and are tremendously praised for it, they generally get so cocky there's no do ing anything with them. It must be the same with heroes, though the books take Jolly good care to keep that dark. Nice sort of man Horatius must have been after he'd kept the bridge In the brave days of old! Of course lie put on some. He couldn't help it. Nobody could. If the truth wore known, I be lieve there's lots of people owe their ruin to an act of heroism. You'd nev er guess that from the way Mr. Dil water talks, but I keep my eyes open and think out things for myself." "Surely," said the interviewer, "this Is principally hypothesis. As a matter of fact" — "What's hypothesis? And - there's another thing. 1 shouldn't like my pure minded and noble example to be rammed down the throats of a lot of other boys that had never done any thing to me. When a thing gets rub bod Into you too much, you hate It. That's how It is with mo and heroism. What with the books my aunts give me on my birthday and at Christmas and wtiat with Mr. Dihvater's Interesting Illustrations of what a little boy can do I've had too much heroism. You won't catch iue standing on any burn ing deck when all but me had fled. Don't expect It. I've got 100 much re gard for other boys. They don't want to have me slung Into poetry for theui to be made to learn by heart. No fear! They don't want to have me preached tit them either. Well, goodby."— Black mid White. The Perfect Buy.

The question of color in horses has for a long time past raised consider ! able discussion in the columns of the London Live Stock Journal, and many j interesting letters and notes respeet- I ing it have appeared, writes a cor respondent of that publication. In the I majority of oases, however, the chief | point considered has been how to get | rid of chestnuts, grays and roans, which appear to be the more generally unfavorable colors. Many of the best and weightiest stal lions we have had (speaking of the earlier days of breeding) have been of these commonly unpopular colors, and latterly such colts as those, weighty and good, have been castrated solely on account of their color, the owner not realizing the folly of the thing un ! til he sees his discarded colt selling as a gelding at 150 guineas or more. Then ! he exclaims, "I wish I had never cas | tratod him!" And well he may. It is no uncommon thing nowadays j to see colts of the highest caliber be ing shelved because they are chest nuts. "They won't buy a chestnut stallion," say those who are in the | business. Surely with facts like those herein stated, and which cannot be re ! fitted, staring them in the face breed ers will never be so foolish as to con tinue to discard these fine horses on i account of the shade of color that per- I vades the hair! This point only goes skin deep, but a well molded body, abundance of sub- SH IKE STALLION. stance and muscle, quality and correct ly formed joints, bottomed by solid, big feet, go right to the pocket and will add hundreds to the value of shire horses when proper discretion is exer cised in keeping such colts as those here described for stallions, whatever their color may be. If we had not had Lincolnshire Lad 11., we should not have had Harold, and without Harold where would the greatest heavy horse the world knows today have been? It is to be hoped that breeders will pon der over this matter and not allow such absurd whims and fancies as the color of the hair to make them cas trate colts that in other respects com bine almost every property that is re quired. Color for the park and for fancy pur poses may have its way, but in the Sliire horse, an animal that is bred en tirely for practical purposes to propel heavy weights in our streets and on our railways as well as on our farms, it ought not to weigh one iota. My ad vice is, discard the Idea at once and breed from the best animal, whatever may be his or her color. To do other wise would be little better than run- I ning a race with one leg tied up. You lose half your abilities to perform the task. The menu served at the first annual banquet of the American Angora Goat Breeders' association at Kansas City Is described in Wool Markets and Sheep by a participant. He says: The Angora broth was certainly very smooth, tasty and full of zest. The An gora kid "oysters" were something new to me, as was also the Angora broth, and I had some doubts whether or not my stomach would agree with iue that it would be what one would call really good and appetizing. However, that question, in my mind, Is settled forev er. I want nothing better to oat when hungry than fried Angora kid oysters and tomato sauce. The venison 1 can not compare to anything more than the ordinary venison from the deer. Wheth er it was the way in which the various dishes of tlio flesh of the Angora goat wore prepared or not 1 am not prepar ed to say, but one thing is certain, that what 1 partook of was good enough for the most fastidious epicure. An k orn h and Wool. While the Angora, on account of its great practical utility in clearing the brush from off now lands and old and abandoned I'aiins and as a producer of one of the most valuable kinds of hair known, is destined to play an impor tant part in the animal husbandry of this country, we do not believe that It will ever injuriously or materially af feet the wool industry of this country. AiiKorn tioiitK Will Pay. There are those who will ask, What is there in an Angora goat to warrant such fabulous prices being paid for sires? says Shepherd Boy in Wool Mar kets and Sheep. Will it pay? My an swer is. Certainly it will pay. This Is the quickest road to breeding to a high standard. Colonel Laiidrum know this when many years ago lie secured two bucks from Asia Minor at the price of a small fortune and trailed them 3,000 miles across the plains and mountains at the rate of twenty miles a day and with the risk of losing both his goats and perhaps his own life. Those bucks were the nucleus of a big fortune for him. It was this gentleman who pur chased the island of Guadaloupe and stocked it with 70.000 goats.

ROAD MONEY WASTED. Working; Out Highway Tmes Pro duces \o I.UMtingr Results. Commenting on the highway law of the Empire State, the New York Times in a recent issue said: The legislation heretofore enac ted for I the improvement of the roads of the ' state is good as far as it goes, but it Is : not likely togo very far in the lifetime lof the youngest of our readers. It pro vides for state aid to towns that are willing to contribute their part to bet ter roads built under the direction of i the state. Up to the present time we i believe that only 300 miles of the 5,000 in the state are benefited by this law. I The highway alliance, whose purpose i is to "increase the usefulness of high ways," proposes that the plan now in operation in towns generally shall be HABD ItOAD TO TKAVF.L. so changed that the resources avail able, which are very considerable, shall be applied under state direction. At present each property owner is re * quired to pay his share of the amount voted for roads, but is at liberty to | work out the tax at the rate of one day's labor for each dollar due by him. The work, whether voluntary or hired, 1s done when and where the path mas ter and the highway commissioner may direct. The change urged is that all payment of road taxes in labor shall be done away with, that all taxes shall be paid in money and that the money ' shall be expended under the direction | of the skilled and trained officials of the state. j There cau be no doubt that this ar rangement would secure very much better return for the money of the va rious towns man is got. at present, ino one need be a great traveler in the in terior of our state to know that the general condition of the roads is bad and that the badness is tremendously costly. It is quite common to see a fairly good road passing from the area of one town become a wretched road i in the next, and the proportion of the latter is many times greater than that of the former. < As a rule the actual cost of the de- I cent roads is not appreciably larger than that of the bad ones. The rnon -1 ey is used in one case and wasted in the other. The plan suggested would j not increase, as Ave understand it, the amount collected for roads. It would simply secure an immensely better re- S turn for it. And this return would be in the definite shape of economy and profit for the residents of the towns i as well as for the community general ly- It has been estimated that improve ment in roads steadily used, which 112 should snve only 10 por eont of the j wear and tear of horses and wagons ; and of the time of men employed, would save to the average fanner from $"»0 to SIOO a year. It is not at all un reasonable to Infer that the plan pro posed would effect such an improve ment. As it would not cost the coun try residents a cent more in expendi ture, it ought to be popuiar if It la once understood. Crude Petroleum Spray. Crude petroleum seems to be effective In controlling San Jose scale when properly and intelligently used. Either a green or amber colored oil may be used provided it has a specific gravity of not less than 43 degrees at a temperature of 00 degrees F. It can only be used when the trees are dormant. In this respect crude petro leum and kerosene act directly opposite. This applies especially to peach trees. It may be used either undiluted or lu the 20 or 25 per cent mixture. Jena and Notes. So great is the confidence in the fu ture of the goat industry that a large amount of capital is being put into goats by northern sheep growers. Los Angeles, C'al., is said to have the largest pigeon ranch in the world, cov ering eight acres and sheltering in its lofts 15,000 birds. Manufacturers will advance the price of plows 10 per cent. The department of agriculture gives a good character to the American sor row, upon which is often unfairly visit ed the sius of its English namesake. The sugar crop of this year is report ed as an increase of 1.177,842 tons over hist year, of which 023.000 tons is of cane sugar and f>i>4,ooo is beet sugar.
