THEY LOOK TO WASHINGTON ! The Goal That the Liberal Leaders Are Seeking---Their Designs Divniged by a Can- did Yankee.

The salary and allowance for expenses of the High Commissioner amount to four- teen thousand dollars a year. -The salary of the Premier of Canada is eight thou- sand d @ year.

In 1879, the Grits said: "If you check imports from Britain in the interest of Canadian industry, you will check our exports to Britain; buying less you must ll less.'" This formula, like a good many others, has been knocked on the head by the actual results. In 1873 our exports to Britain were $39,000,000. In 1878-9, after five years of Grit mixing and muddling, they had dropped to $36,000,- 000. In 1895 they had risen to $62,000, - 000, an increase of 70 The Na- tional Policy did it.

Production In a company .of prominent physl- clans each was asked wr.te the six remedies that he would take on board ship for a voyage round the world, if his Hfe were to depend on the number who should return alive, says The New York Independent. The first entry was "opium," unanimously indorsed.

Tie cld-fashioned method of administration was by macerating the "quilis" of bark In wine, and the great tonic in the early part of this century was "bar and wine," and as in these later days it has been demonstrated to be directly fatal to the bacillus malaria, we can easily understand what a boon it was to the "settlers" in the undrained and "fever-and-agye" regions of this courn- when new. At last, by the advance of chemical skill, the secret of extract- ing its alkalolds was found, and of these no less than thirteen are known and used, and some of them produce a valuable medicine, at a less cost than quinine itself, 1854 the Dutch Government under- took to raise the trees in the Island of Java, and now they have most pros- rerous plantations, but the most ex- tensive and successful of what may be called intelligently conducted planta- tions are to be found on the slopes cf the Himalayas and in British Burmah. In South America the bark is obtainec by flrst stripping the trunk, then feil- ing the tree, but under English botan- ists in Indla a way tially stripping the surrounding it with moss, causing fresh bark to be produced, The botanists have even found a way of making the bark fuller of the desirable alkaloids, The Making of Tacks, "Where do the pins go to?" Is a com- mon saying, but when one takes a few notes of the tack industry the qucs- tion, "Where do all the tacks go to?" seems to be the next thing In order, The first tacks were made by hand. The Tparate r used a vise andydies. A bit of metal 'we held by a clamp, and the head was e by striking a blow with a hammer. 'ter on inery began to be used, and now metal is fed Into an enormous apparatus that will cut out nearly 300 tacks a minute. The processes are extremely interest- ing, and a tack factory has many vis- ltors. The machinery is automatic; narrow strips of metal are fed in and sipped off; the heads are made by pressure, and {t literally rains tacks into large boxes placed underneath to recelve them. They are then poured into a rattler, which is a rapidly r2- volving cylnder, through which a jet of air js forced under high pressure. This removes all of the dust and loose particles. Black lead !s sometimes put in to give them a polish, and then th-y pass on to the sifter, which sorts them and takes out the imperfect tacks, leaving the good ones to be passed on and dropped into a box, from which they are taken to be packed by quick- fingered girls. A good workwoman can pack 1600 pounds of tacks in a day. When one realizes that many of these Inachines are going, and that the tacks at this rate are being sent out to mar- ket, the wonder grows where all the tacks go to.--New York Ledger.
