The present and prospective stand
ing of the live meat animals and
packinghouse products which com
prise of the United States exported
to principal foreign markets is the
, subject of a bulletin recently pre
pared by the Division of Foreign
Markets, Bureau of Statistics, of the
Department of Agriculture. This
bulletin contains a large amount nnc'
variety of hitherto uncollected inf'ifc;
mation.
The United Kingdom imposes no
duties whatever on the importation
of live meat animals or packinghouse
products. Live animals are likewise
admitted free of duty in the Nether
lands and Dermark, while packing
house products are admitted into
these countries and Belgium either
free or at low rates of duty. Con
siderably higher dutieB are imposed
on these products when imported into
other European countries, and im

Drove a notable one in the tariff
history of Europe. There has been
no general-revision of tariffs since the
nineties, when the French tariff law
was enacted and Germany and
Austria-Hungary entered into the
series of commercial treaties by which
the duties they imposed on products
coming from all countries enjoying
the most favored-nation treatment
were fixed, until the close of 1903.
As that time approached, impor
tant tariff changes wero advocated
in manv Quarters. Switzerland on
October 10, 1902, Germany on Dece
mber 25, 1902, and Russia on Jan
uary 13, 1903, adopted new schedules
which, however, were not to go into
effect without subsequent action. In
Austria-Hunsrarv about the same
time a new bill was introduced which
has not yet been enacted into law.
Almost without exception the
changes made by Germany and Swit
zerland and proposed by Austria
Hungary affecting meats and meat
products carried considerable ad
vances. By treaties subsequently
entered into with other countries,
tho rates for the most favored
nations were somewhat reduced, but
were kept generally higher than the
conventional rates which they super
sedc d. Considerable difficulty . has
bei!n experienced in the conclusion of
treaties, and ud to the present time
Switzerland has entered into treaties
only with Germany and Italy,
although its new tariff went into
effoct January 1, 1906. The Russian
and German tariffs and treaties are
to go into effect March 1, 1906.
Of the t reaties negotiated by Russia

WASHINGTON, Jan. J2. Trouble
is brewing in China. The War
Department makes no denial of the
threatening situation, and does not
conceal the preparations being made
to protect American interests. Two

Army officers admit they are being
sent to the Philippines merely to be
ready for service in China. Nearly
nnrt.half of the entire force in the
Philippines is to be concentrated
with in easy reach of Manila. One
of those posts is Fort MsKinley, six
miles from Manila, where a brigade
will be concentrated, and the other
rendezvou will be at Angles, less1
than fifty miles from Manila, with
good rail connections. There a
brigade will also be stationed, ready
for inarching orders to China, In
case of trouble.
Majar-General Leonard Wood will
succeed General Corbin in command
of the division of the Philippines
next month. In case of troublo "in

Gordon has an element ot mystery
about it! Miss Lerch applied for a
marriage license in v ancouver on
October 19th, but was refused it and
told that she must have witnesses or
affidavits. She appeared with an
affidavit o;i October 21st, secured
the license and was married by Rev
George R. Yeamun. She gave her
age as 28 years, and her occupation
as that of school teacher.
Edward Sam Gordon of Coos Bay
declares that he is the only one or
the name in the northwest. He
admits once havinc known Miss
Lerch very well at North Bend, hav
ing in fact, "kept company" with
her for "quite a spell," and further
more leluctantfe1 say3 that Miss
Lerch secured from him $2000 on the
ecore of that friendship. Gordon
denies that he married Miss Lerch,
and says some one must have per

Belgium has become an important
destination for U.iited States cattle,
and more than 18,000 were exported
there during 1904. The cattle ship
ments to Cuba, which prior to J898
seldom reached 10 head a year,
amounted in 1994 to 135,000 head,

Beef is exported from ihe United
States chiefly in the form of fresh
meat, and this is nearly all sent to
British markets. This trade has in
creased while the exports of other
kinds of beef have become less during
the fifteen year 1890 1904. The
United States exported to the United
Kingdom 171,000,000 pounds of fresh
beef iu 1890 and 287,000,000 pounds

Droducts of its class. Exports of

tbCexports to Germany . increased

Greatest Meat Surplus Country.
No other country produces so great
a surplus of meat as the United
States. During the year ending

meat animals and packing- house
products were valued at $217,000,

The exports of bacon have declined
since 1890. In that year 450,000,
000 pounds were shipped to the
Uuited kingdom, 37,000,000, to
Belgium, and J2.000.000 to the
Netherlands; while in 1904 the quan
tity exported to the United kingdom
was only 197,000,000 pounds, to Bel
gium 12,000,000, and to the Nether-
lands 2,000,000 pounds.
On the other hand, the exports of
hams increased. In 1890 there were
exported 05,000,000 pounds to the
United Kingdom, and in 1904 the
amount was 170,000,000 pounds.
With some countries, however,
there has been a recent decline.
Shipments of hams to Germany in
creased from 1800 to 1898, after
which they declined greutly on ac
count of restrictive legislation.
Similarly, the exports of hams to
Belgium, which iu 1898 reached 16,
000,000 pounds, suffered a. decline
afte" that year. Exports of salted
and pickled pork to the Uuited king
dom increased greatly during 1890

1900 quarantine restrictions put an
end to the imports of live cattle from
that country into the Uui ted kingdom
and at the same time made available
a supply of fair beef cattle foe the
freezing industry which was soon
established along the River Plata.
The production of frozen beef in that
region has increased until in 1904
the ezports from Argentina amoun
ted to 215,000,000 pounds. Exports
of frozen mutton were 195,000,000

frozen meat from that country in
1904 equaled 410,000,000 pounds.
Lying north of the R'ver Plata
and extending up iuto Brazil is a
great cattle reg'on, which includes
Uruguay. Paraguay, and the State
of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil. Its
chief meat product is a coarse salt
dried beef, known along the River
Plata as "tasajo" and in Brazil as
"xarque." As the development of
this region progresses, there is
tendency to improve the quality of
cattle and to produce fresh meat for
export to Europe instead of dried
beef for South American and West
Iudian markets. Such a transition
has been taking place in Argentina

er, is asserted by Dr. G. Hudson
Makueu, of Philadelphia, in a paper
recently read before the .Association
of Medical Officers of American In
stitutions for Idiotic and Feeble mind
ed Persons. Says Dr. MakuGD.". -
"Speech bears somewhat the same
relation to the mind that the hammer
and saw bear to the carpenter. It
is the mind's most effective and most
important tool. It 'is not the only
vehicle in which the products of the
mind are transferred and delivered,
but it is essental also to the creation
of these products, their crystalliza'
tion, collection, and classification,
Thought, in its highest sense, there
fore, can not exist indepently of
speech. Hence It is that if you de
prive him at tho same time of his
effective means for mental develop
ment, and it also follows that if you
train and perfect bis e peach you
must greatly improve bis mentality.
In the normal child mental' develop
ment and' speech development pro
gress simultaniteously. Neither can
be said to precede the other. The child
thinks and speaks. If he does not
speak when he thinks we at once
suspect that there is something
wrong with the organs of speech,
and if he also fails to make use of the
other forms of expression, such as
gesture and pantomime, we even
doubt his abilty to think."
If there is no outward mechanical
obstruction to speech, and if the
hearing is intact, Dr. Makuen says,
the character of the speech is our
best index to the operations of the
mind, and the response to training
shown by the speech will be in direct
proportion to that of the mind. Thus
the study of the speech of the feeble
minded becomes a valuable aid in the
diagnosis and prognosis ot their con
dition. Defective speech is both a
physical and mental sign of feeble
mindedness, tho it' may be a cause
and not a result ot the latter. To
quote further:
,"A child's educability depends
more than anything else upon h's
desire to be educated. The desire
to speak is inherent In every normal
person, and if this desire is not gra
titled, the desire to be educated will
be diminished or blunted. What is
the use of knowing things if you can
not communicate them? The child
who will not be educated will retro
grade and become feeble minded

Being out of harmony with his envlr ,

he does not understand his surround

by those about him. He elicits the
sympathy of the household, and his
every wish is anticipated and granded
without even the asking. Under
these circumstances, of couse, edu

There is no necessity for the child to
talk, and there is no in jucement for
him to learn to know things. He is
what we call a spoiled child, and be

"Our whole system of edcation,
beginning at the cradle, has been
developed to meet the requirements
of the normal or feeble mind. It
must be remembered 'also that the
ralnd is the product ot a complex
physical organism, and that speech
itself is, in part at least, a product
of this same organism. Even the so
called peripheral mechsnisms of
speech, in the developmental period,
are under direct control of the cere
bral mechanisms, and the muscles
employed In the articulation of speech
sounds, brave been called the mental

To think is to speak low, .and to
speak is to think aloud.' It follows,
therefore, that the training of speech
should occupy an important place in
the curriculum of schools for the
feeble minded."
