HarrcstIng Throughout tho World.

That the harvest ~ tho world. OF
the Toapjng of the cereal crops on the
earth. takes place in different periods
on account of the different latitudes
and consequent different seasons, is a
well known fact; that these periods
embrace altogether more than three
fourths Of the year might not be
known. In Australia. New Zealand,
the greater part Of Chilli. and some dis
tricts Of Argentine Republic, the har.
vest takes place In January: in the
month of February it commences in
East India, and progressing toward the
north, terminates In March Mexico

STOCK Speculation in Japan.

The japanese government forbids
stock spcculating. and the authorities
recently determined to arrest at the
same moment all offenders on the stock
exchanges at osaka. Yokohama and
Kobe. as well as on the rice exchanges
at Toxic and some other important
ccnters The police received their or
dors only on the morning Of the day
fixed. and in strong force all wearing
some sort Of disguise, proceeded TO the
vicinity Of the exchanges and mingled
with the crowd 50 rs to escape obser-
vation. At little after IL o'clock all
was in readiness, a sign was given. and
before the amazed spectators could
make out what was going on the ex.
changes were in possession OF the po.
lice. the doors locked and the prisoners
secured. All the books, papers, etc,
were then taken possession Of. and the

Hiram let down the bars, and turn

THE TAPU AMONG MAORIs.

of Some massacres-Drugs versus Cam

The Maoris are people who not

anything in lessons or sermon that
ticklcs their fancy. Mr. Hay has seen
church full of them waving their
arms, stamping their feet, grinding
their teeth with rage, when the treach-

Gotten and Insurance.

In the last number of the New York
Insurance Chronicle a writer discusses
the question: "As Cotton is Handled in
the South, is it Insurable?" He says that
he has no feeling in the matter, because
his company is not a loser by cotton fires.
lie discusses the question simply because
recent large cotton fires have brought it
to the attention of underwriters. \ good
deal of cotton has been destroyed by fire
this season, and if the truth were known
il is probable that in about every instance
it would appear that the fires were the
result Of carelessness. The Chronicle
writer admits that it is profitable to in
sure cotton in New Orleans, Mobile and
Memphis, because cotton there is largely
stored in fire-prOOf compartmented ware
houses. In such warehouses heavy losses
by fire are almost impossible. In no
other place in the South, the writer says
is there such protection against
fire. Dallas, Charleston, Norfolk and Sa-
vannah this year have been heavy suffer-
ers. The companies which had risks on
the cotton destroyed in these cities lost
more than theywilI be able to accumulate
on their cotton insurance business in
years. OF course they feel sore, and are,
perhaps, ready to say that they don't
want any more cotton risks at any rates
that may be offered. 1t is pretty certain,
however, that they will continue to take
all cotton risks they can get. They
know, Of course, that so large a loss of
cotton as that in the Yamacraw fire may
not occur again in this city in a dozen, or
even twenty years, and in that time they
will be able, at the rates they receive, to
make good their losses and to accumulate
a handsome surplus. Without being
familiar witbthe facts, it is, perhaps, safe
to say that the rates are higher here and in
Charleston than in New Orleans, and that
the difference is regarded as sufficient to
cover the increased risk. Insurance COM
panies must expect and, of course, do ex-
pect losses, but they have a right to re-
qulre the exercise of reasonable care by
the insured.
There have been Several fires on ship
board, on wharves and in warehouses at
this port this season, all of which are
classed under the head of "mysterious,"
because the cause Of them is unknown.
1t is probable that all Of them were the
result Of carelessness OF some kind. 1t
