An Unexpected Incident winch Will fFoO'
ably Change the Mikado's Methods
The ancient Japanese custom OF
Hari-Kari, or Happy Dispatch, has re-
ceived its death-blow. For centuries
it has been usual for any exalted Jap
anese dignitary who may have NOR
tally offended his sovereign to receive
a polite official intimation to the effect
that his suicide will be pleasing to the
authorities; and until recently it has
been the unvarying practice for the of
fender to acquiesce resignedly. and,
after summoning his relatives around
him. to formally disembowel himself
in their presence. If the cuiprit hap
pened to be of exceptionally high rank,
the sovereign would, as mark of
honor, send him a jeweled sword with
which to operate upon himself But
all these things are now of the past.
Not long ago the Mikado was griev-
iously hurt by the words and conduct
of a high court official. The man was
an old and very valued servant of the
crown. but his crime was unpardona-
BILE. Next day, therefore, an officer
brought him the fatal sword, mag
nificent weapon, with blade inlaid
with gold and handle incrusted with
diamonds. together with sympathetic
intimation that his early death would
be regarded as benefit to the empire
in general and to the Mikado in par
ticular. The culprit received the
sword with all proper respect, but as
soon as the emissary had departed the
willy Japanese-in whose mind Euro
pean habits of thought had evidently
taken firm root-walked down to the
quay, went on board small steamer
that was bound for Havre, and upon
reaching Paris incontinently sold his
sword of honor for $4,000. We never
met with better illustration of the
eminently practical nature of the jap
anese character. 1t is exceedingly un-
likely that the Mikado will ever again
trust one of his subjects to execute
himself. Still less will His Majesty be
inclined to favor exalted criminals
with jeweled swords of honor. The
Office of a lord high executioner will
probably be called into requisition in
stead, and wicked mobiles will, for the
future, be saved the trouble and
anxiety of having to be their own
butchers Globe.

upon her daughter, and in voice tremulous
with emotion she said:

Mixture of Snob and Cad.

A report of the Union League Club
farewell reception to Hon. Robert
Todd Lincoln says: ''Mr. Lincoln
was more than usually gracious, his
bearing being of too dignifed type
to be called popular" Yes. Mr.
Lincoln is not popular at all; we have
never heard anybody speak a real
warm word for him. When he lived
in Washington he was commonly
called a snob and here in Chicago he
seems to be regarded by those who
know him as a cad. It was of him
that his sagacious father wrote in a
letter thirty years ago that he didn't
believe Bob would ever amount to
much. This letter is printed in Ward
Lannon's Life of Lincoln. Chicago

Then he bent and examined the clothing
of the murdered old man.
An ejaculation of disappointment fell
from his lips. He thought perhaps to find
valuable papers, and in this he was sorely
disappointed. 1t might be that he thought
the missing will was on the person of the
dead. 1t was not, however, and hence the
discontinue OF the wicked schemer.
One of the twins was working at some
thing near while the Captain was making
this examination. He now came toward,
revealing in his hands a heavy stone about
which he had attached a stout buckSkln

the Captain. at the same time moving into
the dense shadow where he could watch the
movements of the twins without being him

Presently a splash and gurgling sound
announced the work complete. The man in
the shadows breathed easier as he saw the
form of Don Benito sink beneath the waters
of the forest pool. He had nothing to fear
from the mailman of the gulch. Neverthe-
less he realized that he had placed himself
in a dangerous position by employing the

,4.MERICAN EXPORTS.

The national grange which met at
Topeka, Kansas, last year set in mo-
ton an investigation concerning the
amount of American products export
ed to other countries and its relation
to the whole supply at the sections to
which our exports went.
The subject was placed in the hands
of Statistician Dodge of the agricul-
turaL department. He has prepared
and submitted an interesting report.
It shows that of the l44 100000
bushels of wheat which Europe I'M
ports to patch out its own production
the United States furnishes 95,OoO,0OO
bushels. We also send about 2,5OO,-
600 bushels of oats and 3,OO0,OOO
bushels of rye to the markets OF the
old world In fhe matter OF corn the
United States is large exporter send
ing annually 6S,000,000 bushels
across the Atlantic We also send
25,OO0,O00 pounds of butter and 49,
100000 poundu of cheese to our
cousins across the sea.
The greatest article of export from
America to Europe is cotton. The
total import of Europe is 2,636, ,oOO,-
600 pounds, of which 1,S50,000,000,
or over two-thirds, comes from the
United States. 1t is no wonder that
"cotton was king" in the free trade
days before the war. Our wool export
comes next to the cotton Shipment,
being 6O0,O0O,00O sent annually tc
Europe.
The conclusion reached from these
figures and their comparison with the
data of former years is that''the Uni
ted States is becoming more and more
a self sustaining and exporting nation
About one-tenth of our agricultural
products ere exported. No other ma
ton can show so largs proportion
While our exports are yearly on tn
increase our imports are annual,

POST.4L CARD CONTRACT.

The contract for furnishing postal
cards to the United States government
for the four years beginning October
1st has been awarded by Acting Post
master General .Clarkson to Albert
Doggett of New York, the lowest bid
der. In addition to the present size
two new sizes will be furnished to the
public-one smaller than the card
now in use and the other larger. Al
lowing for the difference in weight, the
cards are about ouethird cheaper IN
the new contract than in the old one.
The average price Of the cards is
about 9 cents a pound in the old con-
tract and about 6 cents pound in the
new one. The estimated number OF
cards to be required during the four
years of the contract term is 2,O0O,-
OOO, 900, at a cost of about SSOO,OOO.
The reduction in cost for the four
years will amount to fully $3.50, 900, as
compared with the price in the old con-
tract.
