TWO KINDS OF DUTIES.
Bunkers returning from their vaca
tions In Europe report what they term
an ULfriflldlv fi'ttllni in Fmiicp for
the United States. The Frenchmen are
complaining that oar new tariff dis
appoints ther-.
They h:d 1:g;jcJ that the barrier
would be low .... ch to permit their
selling in this country a much larger
proportion of their products than here
tofore. Because the tariff fence was
kept pretty high the thrifty Frank is
objecting.
But there is a boot upon the other
foot. Only a. little while ago a few
eminent Americans attempted to sell
a large amount of United States Steel
shares in Paris. Why didn't thev do
It? Because the French government
interposes a prohibitive tax upon
American securities.
It is true that millions of Ameri
can bonds are owned in France, but
they pay what in this country would
be regarded by the Investor as an
outrageously heavy tax.
The French government deems it
good political and financial policy to
keep interest rates in that country
very low. Therefore, the home in
vestor must not be allowed to put his
money in United States securities
which yield greater returns than do
mestic shares and bonds.
There Is no more reason, however,
why the French producers should
complain at the Payno tariff law than
there is for the Americans to object
to French security taxation.

E. II. JIAKRIMAVS WILL.
The will of E. IT. llarrtman follows
a strictly American practice. It leaves
all to his wife and an instrument so
short, simple, direct and 'Self-executing
that no Court would be likely to
listen to any attempt to break it, if
any be made.
In no other country would such a
disposition be made of an estate either
large or small, much less of one of
the largest estates devised by will, so
large that in England it would pay
an inheritance taxunder the bill now
before Parliament of $16,000,000.
In England Mr. Harriman would
have left the bulk of his property to
his eldest Bon "to found a family."
He would have cared for his wife by
charging his estate with a life income
for her support. Very likely he would
have left her nothing in fee. In France
half of this estate would have gone to
his wife and children Independent of
any will and his testamentary powers
would have been limited to the other
half of his property. The rest would
have been divided by law. Rarely or
not at all would such an estate else
where have been left to the wife.
'IIere it Is a frequent occurrence
for a man to leave all his property
to his wife. Just as the wife usually
owns the dwelling. In England it
goes to the eldest son with the estate
and his mother leaves it for ber son
to take. A will leaving all to the wife
here is a common disposition of prop
erty, very . frequent in moderate es
tates, and it is a policy often followed
with those of magnitude. Russell Sage
left his property almost complete to
his wife.
A closer union between man and
wife Is indicated by this habit than
exists anywhere else. The American
and his wife draw near together. They
share common Interests and feel a
close mutual bond In all things un
known in other lands. When death
comes it seems natural to the Ameri
can to leave all, as this great railroad
manager has, to the woman who
through life has made all of life for
him.

FIRRELESS COOKERS and the art of iirelcss cooking is old, having hoon u.sil in Xorway and the old world, ages ago the only difference is that our cooker is built
scientilically for all practical purposes. The cooker retains the delicate ilavor of the food, otherwise lost in constant boiling it retains the sweetness of cereals, soups, meats
in fact anything that can be boiled, may be evolved from the cooker.
THE SCIENTIFIC COOKER IS SAN ITARY clean. Construction is as follows case is made of dovetailed select kiln dried gum wood this is staiued a black
Mission it is then waxed, after rewaxing, the case is oiled and rubbed, leaving it with a beautiful dull black finish. The kettles are of steel with double coat of acid proof
sanitary enamel, patent lock covers. One kettle will hold six quarts another four quarts. JgggjQ&fcgj.
THIS COOKER is tightly packed with about o5 to 40 pounds of mineral wool and asbestos, making it air tight excluding all of the outside air and retailing the heat.
THE TOP IS OF SHEET STEEL, wh ich is beautifully enameled and decorated, ,,'vhig the cooker a handsome appearance". Any liquid foods accidentally spilled on this
top can be very easily wiped up.
IN OPERATION this wonderful inveu tion is simplicity itself. You simply prepare the food to be cooked in the regular way place it on the stove and bring it to a boil
then immediately transfer it to the cooker, cover it tightly, add the insullated pillow covering drop the lid and let the cooker do the rest. After a few hours remove the
cover and serve the meal boiling hot pe rfectly cooked and with a taste that will pr ove delightfully surprising. Best results can be had only bv following carefully the' di
rections given in the cook book which is included with each cooker.
FOR CEREALS, that require long cooking, as oatmeal, it will prove a revelation prepare the oatmeal at night before retiring, bring it to a boil place it in the cooker
and leave it there all night. In the morning on arising, your breakfast is ready to be served deliciousv cooked.
INSTEAD OF COOKING BEANS, rice, barley, peas and other foodstuffs'over a hot fire, which take shours and hoursand fuel, simply bring your water to a boil,
place it in the cooker and that ends it. Ojlfe
