It is usually the things you got that would seem to make worth living. haven't i The increaso of the Tariff on cham pagne and still wines "provided for in the Senate biil seems to meet with gen eral approval. In the Payne bill the present Dingley rates are retained: $8 per dozen quarts of champagne and $4 per dozen pints; 40 cents a gallon on still wines containing not above 14 per cent of alcohol and 50 cents per gallon where more than 14 per cent is con tained. The Senate bill raises the rate on champagne to $;).C0 and $4.80 per dozen, and 45 and 00 cents per gollon on still wines. Additional revenue of more than $4,000,000 a year is expected from the proposed increase. 1 he increase will be even greater when the totally uncalled for and un fair concessions on champagne and still wines in the existing foreign trade agreements shall have been abrogated. Imported wines are luxuries absolutely. If not n bottle or a gallon of foreign wine were imported there would be no lack of excellent wines to take their place. Hut even though the Tariff on champagne were raised to $10 instead ' of $'.).r0 per dozen there would be no life material decrease in imports, while the TliKKE is a proper dignity and pro portion to be observed in the per formance of every act of life.

The "connois seurs" who buy according to labels and in the absence of a label could not tell the difference between an imported and a domestic champagne would continue to buy the foreign fizz, whatever the increased cost might be. The same would be true of still wines. Domestic growers of grapes and wines would be to some extent the gainers by an $18 I duty on champagne and a DO cents and $1.20 duty per gallon on still wines, for the higher cost of the imported drinks would cause some of our consumers to j stop and think whether the cheacr do mestic wines would not, after all, do ! quite as well. And they would do every . bit as well, and even better, for the domestic product is as a general rule purer and sounder than the imported article. A still greater increase in the wine duties would be a move in the right direction. Economist. New Mexico covers an area of 4(!9 square miles-being larger than any State in the Union excepting Texas, California and Montana. Of this vast area, amounting to 78,330, 000 acres, in l'JOO, there were less than 250,000 acres under cultivation, and in 1908,i there were not less than 2.500,000 acres under cultivation. New Mexico has within its boundaries more than 8,000,000 acres of timber land, or an area more than three times that of the State of Connecticut, and its forest reserves amount to 7,000, 000 acres. The discovery that there are some large areas which may be farmed with profit hes led to a remarkable in flux of northern and eastern farmers. During the past two years, more than 45,000 homeseekers with their families have located in New Mexico and esta blished homes, adding aproximately 200,000 to the population. It is now predicted that by the time the census of 1010 is completed, it will be found that this territory will have a popula tion greater than that of either Dela ware, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Utah, Vermont or Wyoming. There are upon the stock ranges not less than 5,500,000 sheep, 1,000,000 cattle, 200,000 goats, 200,000 horses, nriles and donkeys. From 200,000,000 to 25,0O0,(HO pounds of wool, and from two to two and a half millions of lambs are sold annually from the ranges. ( The mineral resources are vast. It produces 10,000,000 pounds of copper and 4,000,000 pounds of lead annually. Also more than $1,000,000 of zinc is its annual production. It is also be lieved to be rich in gold and silver. According to recent investigations and surveys by the geologists of the United Statss geological survey the New Mexico coal fields is placed at 8,531, -1(50 acres, and the tonnage is es timated at lM, 780,000. 000 tons. The coal lies principally in three fields, Hit Raton coal field compiles an area of of 870400 acres containing :!0, 805,000, 000 tons of bituminous coal, and in the San Juan field which comprises 7,424, 0K) acres containing 1.11,373.000,000 tons of sub-bituminous coal princpally, and the Cerrillos, Carthage, and other fields comprising 240,000 acres and containing 1,600,000,000 tons of anthratic and bit uminous coal. The United States Government has thoroughly tested this coal, and a few months ago contracted with the Woo- ton Coal Company of Trinidad, Colo., for 1,260,000 tons approximately 05,000 car loads to ue delivered to the navy department at San Francisco. The mines of this company are along the line of the Santa Fe railroad between Trinidad and Las Vegas. The railroad company have decided to double track their line from La Junta through Las Vegas to Albuquerque for the purpose of handling this immense coal contract. It is now confidently believed by the people of New Mexico that it will be admitted to statehood at the next re gular session of Congress, as President Taft has declared in favor of its admis sion, and will so recommend in his an nual message next December.

In a Northumberland (Kng.) coast village chapel recently the preacher referred to Christ's fishermen dis ciples as "rough, ignorant, uncouth tvnes of men." "Hey. stop that, mis ter," draniat bally interrupted a fish erman worshiper. "Don't talk that way about fishermen," continued the interrupter, who went on to loudly de clare that they were as good as those in any other walk of life. Congrega tion and preacher were alike so sur prised at the incident that the man de livered his protest unchecked. The pastor afterwards resumed his sermon. HOSIERY IMPORTATION.
