A few remarks on the care of watches
are made by writer in the Popular
Science Monthly. A good watch should
be oiled once year and cleaned once
in three years. II a jeweier tells you
that there is some very serious trouble
or break in your watch, which will cost
several dollars to get repaired, ask him
to take the watch "down" and let yOu
see the trouble. 1t is better to wind
ones watch in the morning than in the
evening, since, if you wind at night and
ing of the tightIy-wound handspring
may break it. Frequently empty out
the dust that accumulates so quickly in
your watch pocket. 1t will not injure a
watch or clock to turn the hands back

While there are in China hundreds
and thousands of professional native
beggars, it is pointed out as a singular
but significant fact that not in Califor-
mia or any of the Pacific states can
there be found a Chinese beggar. But
how could you expect the Chinese i'm
migrants to enter a profession that is
already crowded? No; they saw that
by going to work they might possibly
secure a monopoly, but by begging
never.-Boston Transcript.
China is overrun with beggars be-
cause of her dense population when
promiscuous immigration crowds this
country with paupers, then it will be
another China.

SO long as the sun shines and the rain
falls we can raise corn and wheat and
pork cheaper than any other nation in
the world. Every effort that Bismarck
makes to keep our products out 0f Ger
many brings starvation to bis people,
and forces them to emigrate or die of
hunger,-Boston Globe, Democrat.
In keeping American products out of
Germany, Bismarck is doing nothing
more than we do here by our protective
tariff; except his object is to protect
German farmers, while ours is to pro-
tect capitalists and monopolists at our
farmers expense.

II All who indulge in profanity were

Special to the Indanacoiis Journal
WASHINGTON. Nov. l5.-The Associated Press
last week reported that seven seamen of the
American bark Cashmere of Boston, who had
been wrecked off the coast of japan, had been
found in an extremely destitute condition by the
Japanese authorities, and had been TRANSPORTED
400 miles across the country to the American con
sulate. The Japanese did all in their power to
aid these seamen. and it is the intention of the
State Department to reward them suitably. The
Japanese, by the way, are the most hospitable
people to fall among OF the face of the earth; at
east naval officers say so. The State Depart
saent will address a communication to the jap
anese Minister, asking him to enlighten 1t as to
the rank of the officials who so numanely aided
the Americans in the hour of their distress. The
measure of their reward will. of course, depend
opon their rank and needs. In this connection it
may be said that it is not generally known that
Congress appropriates annually So 600 for the
purpose OF rewarding citizens of foreign countries
Who aid in rescuing and succoring American
ieamen who have been wrecked. 1t is tho Gus
ON OF the department to reward more literally
