"A New Article of Export From tho Neigh
boring Republic.
"MeNican figs, first in Chicago" is
placarded in front of a fruit store on
Madison street. These figs are lighter
in color than the Turkish figs, and are
not SO sweet. They taste more like
prunelles, and beneath the pulp is of a
pink color. Their flavor is agreeable.
The seeds are SO small as to make the
fruit seem almost seedless. The best
OF these figs are sold at fifteen cents a
roundabout what you have to paw
for the cheapest Turkish figs. This is
a new article of export for Mexico.
Among other evidences of her newness
in the fig business is the absence of
worms from her product. The ancient
fig raisers OF the eftetc East sell tons of
worms to the rest of the world eyery
year. They are nice, fat, juicy worms,
it is true. and bear every evidence of
culture through a long roll of ages, but
tigs without the worm flavor should
sell Just as well. Therefore, our Mexi-
can neighbors, who are too fresh at
the trade to have many worms, should

thority has estimated that five per

United States are worms. If this he
true we import and eat each yea
about live hundred and fifty thousand
pounds of fig worms, and pay a duty of
eleven thousand dollars on them, too.
The people of the United States eat

M though the estimate Of five per
cent. worms may be high, the Next
cans have a big opportunity to build
up trade if they only know how to do
it and keep on keeping the worms out,
II is only fair to say that some Of the
Mediterranean figs are not wormy,
This may be accounted for by the fact
that the greedy fig growers raise two

Building On Them, Like Buying Them On
Change, Is, i'll the Long Run, a Losing
Business.
Building on futures, like buying FL
lures on Change, is, in the long run, a
losing business, especially to men who
do not stand in with the potentates.
What we mean by building on futures
is the establishing industries on tile
contingencies of var and rumors Of
wars, or of any unusual stimuli to de-
mand and supply. An industry that is
worth establishing and maintaining in
this Or any other country, is worth
planting on soil where it will grow and
flourish in peace as well as in war. To
build, then, upon anything but those
stable laws, which will always exist,
let the wide world wag as it will, is
ruinous in the end. At this very dav
our people are dreaming of enormous
gains from q war in the East-a war
which many have argued themselves
into believing is already practically in
augurated. AS it stands, war is by no
means a certainty, even though it be
pIODtDlc, anu IL u is not DrODaDlc
and does not occur, the release
from our o>er-stimulative expecta-
tons will only embittcr the
hard times upon us. There
is un~questionably between Eng
land and Russia an antagonism of COM
mercial interests, Of race, and of re-
ligion, and these difference are to be
settled sooner or later; but whether
they are to be settled by war or diplo-
macy, even these powers cannot tell
us. Be this as itmay, our obligation to
u Owl interests is to pursue that even
tenor, which looks to a farther future. a
10 solid prosperity than the collision
of rival nations can avail us. Let us
build on no chimeras, no future CON
tingencies, but upon the solid advance
ment OF everyday wants and realities.

ural stimulating causes for its success

There was only II doorway, into
which we entered on a smooth ward Of
red clay. Here, with their backs to
the wall, sat some men, probably the
kings body-guard. They were all more
or less dressed, having trousers patched
with every conceivable color and ma
terial, some with hats. others old gov
eminent helmets. We walked into the
hut, which was divided in two by a
low wall. The inside was lined with
gray clay, and quaint figures and de.
vices were made on it. Opposite the
door and close to the inside wall lay a
man on a couch with a foldcd-up shawl
,tnder his head. He had on a red tlan.

trousers and boots with cloth tops, but.
no socks. He was the king. At his
head sat another person, the queen, sit.
ting like a sailor, naked to her waist.
She had a quantity of beads round
her neck of different %colors, from
which hung charms and such useful
articles as Keys. The king was sound
asleep, but the queen and attendents
were wide awake. The smell and bad
air were intolcrable. Round against
the wall sat his two rrincesses, or
daughters. Then two men smoking.
Not one of them took the slightest
notice of us. At last I addressed the
queen, and wished her all the CON-

THOMAS II. BENTON.
A Rcminiscence Suggested by the Vita
Endurance of General Grant.

A Rcminiscence Suggested by the Vital
Endurance of General Grant.
In the years 1888 Colonel Benton
resided in house No. 1874 G street
northwest, now known as :'Franklin's
House," and recently occupied by the
Hon. Mr.. Greenleaf, member Of the
last Congress. In this [house he en-
pired April 10, 1858 at the age of sew
enty-six years. For the last two years
of his life he devoted himself to literary
pursuits, which commenced before he
had entirely closed his active political
career. In this period he completedhis
great work. ''1hirty Years View"
wrote a remarkable paper on the
''Dred Scott Decision,," and com
menced the herculean task of condens-
ing the debates of Congress" which
ne finally completed down to the COM
promise measures of 1850.
During his last winter death daily
stared him in the face, and was only
kept at bay by the almost invincible
will of Benton. Suffering intently at
times from a complication of disease
he nevertheless retained his faculties
unimpaired to the last, and on the very
morning of the day of his death sat
propped up in his bed and read and
corrected with his own hand the
closing proof-sheets of the sCon-
densed Debates" The faculty had
not then discovered the recent arts
for prolonging life at the expense of a
bodily stupor and a clouded mind.
Benton bore with surpris ;ng equanim-
ity the infections OF nature without
the interference of the new system of
dealing with patients on the verge of
the grave, and being left to himself
was enabled by his great vitality to
complete his literary designs.
General Grant has displayed an equal
vitality, a power of endurance, consid-
ering what he suffers. both from ma
ture and art, almost without a parallel.
But yet it will probably become a
cause of unfailing regret to the world
that he will not be able to complete hi;
great literary work, ''The History d
the War OF the Rebellion" cmbracinf
his autobiography in connection therf
with. Yet how could the result Ii
otherwise? Since no amount of hui
man vitality, will-power, or tenacityd
life could cope with the accumulated
troubles Of body and mind VIII; CHI have
been brought to bear upon him. Sad
ly he sinks into the last slumber; while
a helpless nation waits weeping at hb
bedside, and the world mourn a great
soul dcparting.-Cor. National Repu6-

HERAT.
One of the Most Important Places on the
Map of the World.

One of the Most Important Places on the
Map of the World.
But the eyes of the civilized world
are now directed to Central Asia.
Within the last ten years the Russian
armies have over-run the vast plateau
from which issued the Aryan race, the
same mighty breed of men which has
from time to time repeatedly conquered
the rest of the world. A study of
language has proved that the Hin
doc and the European have come from
one common stock. whose birthplace
to-day is controlled by the forces Of the
Car. From its base on the Caspian
Sea the Russian armies have marched
steadily southwark, until now its out
posts are within striking distance Of
Herat. This is one of the most import
ant places on the map of the world.
1t was commended for by mighty armies
long before the beginning of recorded
history. This is shown by its defensive
works which are of great extent and
magnitude, but of the construction Of
which no record has come down to us.
When various waves of Aryan invasion
moved southwark, Hcrat was first
seized, as it vas the key to the military
possession of India. Should it fall into
the hands of Russia, that event would
mark the beginning of the end Of the
British rule e. Hindostan. Weak %
she is in military sense compared with
other nations, Great Britain would risk
a war with any other power against
heavy odds rather than allow Herat to
come into the possession of the Musco-
vlte. The war may be postponed, but
come it will, for Herat is Of vital i'm.
portance to Russia from a trade point
OF view. That city is now the gateway
through which pours the commerce
OF Great Britain with Central Asia.
British goods worth thirty million dol
lars are annually distributed to those
pats of the Asiatic continent now un'
der the dominion of Russia. This
great trade the Museovite authorities
would like to secure for their own man
u~tacturers. Hence every consideration
OF power and interest impels Russia to
obtain possession of the gateway 10
the Indies. The country about Heras
too is exceedingly fertile, and wouia
support an army of a hundred tho0'
sand men.-Demorest's Monthly.

One of the most strikingly cruel
practices that they interfere with and
prevent is carried on by the Italian
residents of tenement-houses. The
Italians catch rats and mice in open
traps, pour kerosene oil over them, set
fire to the oil, and then open the traps.
II do-a the same thing in Italy," is
the explanation often given by the
offenders.
If the weather is severe and any
canary birds or cogs are found on the
streets for sale, the dealers are ordered
to take the poor birds or brutes home.
One of the hardest things for the Off
GERS to succeed in getting done is the
%blankcting of horses, and the greatest
opposition to the enforcement of this
order is met with in fashionable
thoroughfares. The liveried funkcys
who stand in front of the large dry
goods stores on Broadway with their
clipped teams take it very much to
heart to be ordered to blanket them.
Many of them come over from En-
gland. and they declare the order to be
"a blarsted outragge-never 'eard of
such things hat 'ome." One of these
fellows, elegantly dressed. with boots
and spurs, fur collar, cockade and all,
is told to blanket his team.

Making Trees Bear Every Year.

In many parts of the country apple
trees yield crop of fruit only every al
ternate year, the year represented by
an odd number being barren, while that
represented by an even number will be
fruitful. In other places orchards bear
every year. Some trees will yield fruit
only every other year, while others near
them on every side win produce boun-
tiful crop. Two seasons are required to
produce crop of apples; that is during
one season the fruit buds are devel-
oped, and during the next the fruit.
All the vital energies of some trees are
employed during one season to develop
the fruit buds; then the year following
their entire vitality seems to be spent in
developing the fruit without sufficient
force being left to form fruit buds for
the crop of the next season. Now, in
order to induce an apple tree to bear
every season, climb into the top, or go
up ladders, just as one does when
plucking the ripe fruit, and with pair
of sharp shears clip off all the young
fruit from about half the tree. Then
fruit buds viii form on that side of the
tree from which the young apples were
cut off. One-half the top then viii bear.
fruit one year, while the other half will
yield fruit the next season. Formers
