American Cotton Goods in China.


The American cotton goods trade in
China has Of late attracted considerable
attention at home and in England. In
our own and in the British Consular re-
ports references have frequently been
made to the subject Recent discussions
of the subject in English papers have
gone so far as to recognize the fact that
there is an actual demand in China for
cotton fabrics from the United States.
despite the large supply there of British
makes. The falling off in the Chinese

as reported at the office of the INSPECT
crate General of Customs for China.
is admitted to be due to no decrease
in the demand but rather IN
consequence of short shipments from
America for some cause originating here.
late review of the Chinese commercial
situation by Shanghai journal states
that the market has been greatly over
stocked for years with English cotton
manufactures, while the supply of
American cotton had not been equal to
the demand, Our Consul at Chin Kiang.
China, states that the reason why the
Chinese prefer American manufactures
to all others is because they find
them better and cheaper, in which
he is corroborated by an official
report by the Chin Kiaug. COMMISSIONS
of Customs. The increased demand for
American cotton has become so promi-
nent that unprlncipled dealers in China
have introduced lOw-class English goods
marked as American, and circulars have
been received at Chin-Kiang Offering to
ship American cOttons on order of any
brand from Manchester. Considering
the efforts of late years put forth by the
merchants and manufacturers of the
United States to extend their foreign
trade, in view of the above, it seems a
little strange that they have neglected to
supply the demand in China. However.
the demand is doubtless still there.

A Touching Incident.

A mothers love is deep, abiding
and peculiar. The child, as soon as
born, is taken up into her tenderest
and most generous sympathies, and
lives as it were part Of herself.
This peculiar affection is as extern
sive as the race, for it is found
among savage as well as civilized
people. This affection was strik-
ingly manifested by an Indian
woman who had lost her child. I'm
able to find her own child. she enter
ed the home of a white family, and
taking in her arms the pretty baby
lavished upon it her wealth of trea-
sured sympathies. The mother was
surprised at the peculiar exhibition,
and sprang forward to rescue her
child, when the poor Indian gather
ed up her blanket as one would q
sick child, and after clasping it in
heI arms, uttered a low, mournful
cry. Tears ran down her cheeks,
as the white mother put her babe
back into the Indians arms. She
passed her hands over it very ten
denly and gratefully, and departed.
In a week she came again, bringing
a peck of ripe, wild plums, and the
next two buffalo tongues. She ask
ed permission, by signs, to kiss the
baby, and it was granted. Then
she departed, and never came again

Two Men and the Minister,

The laity in their retorts some
times get the better Of the cloth.
Among the stories told Of Finney,
the revivalist, is the following: He
was passing an iron foundry just as
the works were in full blast, and
heard a workman swearing terribly.
"Young man." said the revivalist,
show hot do you suppose hell is9"
The workman recognized his ques-
toner, and placing his arms akimbo
and looking him squarely in the face,
said
"Well Mr.. Finney, I suppose it's
so hot there that if somebody brough
you a spoonful of melted iron you'd
swear it was ice cream"
Mr.. Finney turned away; he had
no more to say to that young man.
Slightly sarcastic was the clergy
man who paused and addressed a
man coming into church after the
sermon had begun with the remark:
"Glad to see you, sir, come in; al
was glad to see those here late who
can't come early"
Decidedly self-possessed was the
man, who responded
"Thank you; would you please to
favor me with the text?"

In Solid Gold.

William 81. Vanderbilt's wealth
measured in solid gold, would, it is said,
weigh ninety-three tons. His income,
according to the same estimate, is 50
per second, or $50, 400 per day. Jay
Gould's wealth must be quite as much,
and there are, perhaps, fifty persons in
the country whose possessions would
amount to $4,000, 900 each. In France
there is great deal of wealth, but it is
better distributed than in the United
States; for, outside of the Rothschild
family, there are no such fortunes in
France as there are in this country.
Our forefathers thought they had pro-
vided against large accumula ons when
they decreed that landed property
should be divided equally between the
children of the original owners; but the
vast increase of personal property
through the operations Of modern com
merce has concentrated capital in very
few hands. This will be a cause of
trouble some time, as our population
grows larger and jealousy is created on
account of the disproportion between
the poverty of the many and the vast
fortunes of the few. The only way to
prevent collision is for the rich to
recognize the fact that they must make
good use of their wealth, regarding
it as a trust for the benefit of their

About DYING.

When one is still young and in health
it is natural that death should be an OBJ
ject of fear, but it is not true that those
who are very sick fear the grave. DR..
Griswold, an eminent physician, who
has seen many deathbeds, declares that
the dying do not fear death, but rather
desire it. To pass away when the time
comes is in the order of nature, and we
ali submit to the inevitable, without q
murmur. Nor is it true that death is
attended with any superstitious terrors,
for, strangely enough. all physicians
agree that the dying think of the past,
not of the future. Death itself is not
painful; there is no pang or mental ag-
ony except in case of wounds or prema-
ture death. There is often terrible suf-
fering from disease, but death is always
a relief. It is idle as we'll as wicked to
make death seem horrible or painful.
Indeed, to myriads of human beings it
is looked upon as deliverer from pain
and care. In one of the most popular
religions of the East-Budd
vana, or humiliation, takes the place Of
the heaven of the Christian belief

China'S Use for Ants.

China leads civilized countries in find
ing a use for it's ants. Prof. Riley of
received from Han Chow an account of
the Agricultural Bureau, Wash
ington, has q curious use made
of ants in that part of China.
It seems that, in many parts
of the Province of Canton, the orange
trees are injured by certain worms. and,
to rid themselves of these pests, the in
habitants import ants from the neigh
boring hills. The hill people through
out the summer and winter find the
nests of two species of'ants, red and
yellow, suspended from the branches of
various trees. The trees are colonized
by placing the ants on their upper
branches, and bamboo rods are stretched
between the different trees, so as to give
the ants easy access to the whole Or
chard. This remedy has been in con-
slant use at least since 1910, and prob
ably dat s from a much earlier period.

The Morale of the Confederates.

It was wonderful how Hood kept that
army together under the shadow of so
many defeats, such long marches, and
such difficulties in the way of furnishing
supplies. As for rations, that army
would have been amazed at sight of
commissary dealing them out regularly.
Corn-meal and meat were distributed
now and then, but it was oftener that
the meat was left out. Cow-peas and
sorghum molasses were rations when
the commissary had them. When he
did not the men took corn from their
horses, ate meal or flour mixed with
water, or went hungry for thirty hours
at time. He who wants to know what
a rebel endured to be rebel, must not
look for particulars in history. The
Continental afny, in its darkest day.,
hardly saw worse times than Lee and
Hood in the beginning of the winter of
1865. Hundreds of men in Hoods army
would have been barefooted but for
their own makeshifts. Not one man in
six had an overcoat. Not one In three
had q blanket. One-third of the caval-
~ had blankets in place of saddles.
Whole companies of infantry were with
out knapsacks or canteens or haver-
sacks, and not 100 complete Confeder-
ate uniforms could have been found
among the ranks in that army. Con-
federate money was worthless, the Con-
federacy surrounded and cut in two,
and the dullest soldier saw that the end
was in sight. It was wonder that
either Lee or Hood could get any fgnt
out Of men having so much to endure
and so much to discourage them, but
history tells you how well Lee held on
to his lines around Petersburg, and
history says that Hoods men formed
their battle lines at Nashville with the
old step and the old cheer.-Detroit
