CENTRAL AMERICAN TRADE. )
A Field of Commerce Which Should Be
Controlled by Yankea Merchants.

A Field of Commerce Which Should Be
Controlled by Yankee Merchants.
The republics of Central America,
Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras,
Nicaragua and San Salvador, although
geographically closely related to the
United States, give, according to the
latest statistics scarcely more than one
seventh of the total of import and ex-
port trade to the United States, which
would seem little strange. For the
reason given above, and also because of
the increasing similarity of institutions,
the United States ought to control a
much larger proportion of the trade OF
these small but increasingly prosperous
republics. The stability of government
in these countries has become almost
assured, and during the last decade
the people have come to see that there
is more money in developing the vast
resources of country where nature
supplies all wants in most prodigal
way, than in disturbing the peace.
In the republic of Honduras, which,
although possessing vast territories
favorable to farming and cattle-rais-
ing, is essentially mining country.
many reforms and innovations have
been introduced, and the country is
now full of skilled native workmen
who are eager in learning the use of
modern complicated machinery and
improved methods. Honduras also
offers considerable inducements to i'm
migrants. including free land to till,
and advancement of the cost of the
necessary agricultural implements and
other requisites, besides immunity
from civil and military service. AS in
all tropical countries, the lowland
coasts are malarial; but on the noun
tains, where the air and water are
pure, it is healthy enough. Is it not
pity to let English, German and French
merchants occupy almost exclusively
SO favorable field of commerce.? 1t
is said that these have studied care
fully the packing and shipping Of
goods, which arrive damaged much
less than those shipped from the United
States. 1t would seem worth while to
study the requirements of the Central
Americans and secure our rightful
share of this trade. PARKWAY Samoa
and revolutionary Hayti occupy much
of our attention, but these youthful
republics offer special inducements
towards the exchange of commodities,
etc. If the Nicaragua Canal he COM
pleted before long, it will shorten the
distance to be Travelled by over eight
hundred miles on the present route,
and greatly facilitate commercial and
other INSTRUMENTATION. - Demon

Prevention of Seasickness.

A friend of mine was talking to Lieu
tenant Craven. U. s. N, in New York
the other day about seasickness. Said
Lieutenant Craven: when you go
aboard ship take broad towel and tie
it about you in such way as to COM
press the abdomen, generally with toll
cradle tightness. Wear this bandage
during the voyage, and I'll be bound
you will not suffer from seasickness."
The gentleman to whom Lieutenant
Craven gave this recipe said to me: II
believe that a bandage applied as Mr..
Craven suggests is an excellent pre-
ventive. l had generally been a very
bad sailor until the last sea trip made.
when wore for the first time an cleo
eric belt. This belt was faste;ted about
me as the bandage should be. In spite
of the fact that the voyage from Ber-
muda was excessively rough, and near
lyevery one was sick. passed through
the ordeal without even qualm."-

WASHINGTON'S TRUNK.
What 1t Looks Like and How Its Interior
Was Arranged.

was AfranEeus
George Washington's hair trunk
has been hshed up-the very one
he used just hundred years
ago - and is now on exhibition
in the show window of an enter
prising dealer in leather goods on the
Upper Rialto. Georges purse, boots,
swords, breeches, epaulets, gauntlets,
body servants, farewell addresses,
hatchets, racing accounts and betting
books have from time to time been ex-
hibited under the due authorization
to his grateful foster-countrymen. 1t
is evident, now that his trunk has been
found, that there will be more to fol-
low" 1t is small hair trunk, appar-
emily IN excellent preservation, about
thirty-two inches long by fourteen
high, adorned and secured as well
by red leather strips nailed on with
brass-headed tacks and fitted out with
black, solid-looking iron handles OF
much the same outward semblance, on
a smaller scale, as the old-fashioned
iron door-knocker. This trunk was the
nearest approach George had to a
dress-suit case. A change of ruffles
and stockings and an extra suit with
his silver dressing-case-for George
was very neat and particular about his
personal habits-would just about have
filled this trunk up. 1t could not have
possibly have held more than an extra
pair of shoes in addition, for George
wore number thirteens. and never
found them unlucky. This size Of his
boot is historic. Somebody ought to
find bootjack of the father of our
country, and exhibit. likewise cork
screw, pack of cards, pocket pistol
and ready letter writer. This is

Angelina-With all my heart-but
oh, Edwin, I'm afraid mamma will new

E.-Why not, dearest?
Al will be plain with you: For
two reasons. First. she can not make
up her mind to part with me; second,
she does not admire you. But per-
haps we may persuade her when she
finds that you are so good, and that
my happiness is involved.

her, would not have sought to make
her mine if | had not been thoroughly
convinced of her amiability and sweet
ness of disposition and the sterling
worth of her character, which indeed
are equal to the charms of her person,
and that is saying much. How have 1
arrived at this conclusion? BY as close
an observation of her mother as OF
herself-pardon me for the liberty-an
observation entirely respectful and
prompted by the best of motives. You
are aware that the mother-in-law has
long been made the target for the ar
rows of satire and ridicule. In some
cases she has been justly served; in the
majority of the cases she has been
deeply wronged. To become the cham
pion of the mother-in-law has long
been my ambition. But could not be
her champion unless | had one OF my
own. 1t would be said of me, wait
till he gets one himself, and then hear
what he says / determined to get
one. But the getting of a mother-in-
law involved the getting OF a wife, and
here arose a difficulty. l wanted a
perfect mother-in-law to enable me to
carry out my pose, and for my own
happiness wanted;a perfect wife, too.
Could get both? Fate was kind to
me. saw and fell in love with your
daughter, who made me acquainted
with you. 1 admired her beauty. 1

qualities of your mind revealed them
selves | marked in hers :heir exact re-
production. In these two, l said to
myself, l find the perfect wife and the
perfect mother-in-law. l have gained
the heart of the one and have come to
ask the consent of the other"
Angelina's mother (smiling)-Upon
my word, sir, you have argued your
case we'll. and it only remains for Inc
to say yes and give my daughter per-
feet husband and myself perfect SON.

And smoked his pipe with the listless air
OF one whom nothing has power to please
Whose life itselfis a burden to bear.
His hair was white as the silv'ry caps
That lightly toss on the oceans blue;
His form was bent, meath the weight OF years
But just how many nobody knew.

Was woman now, and ev'ry night
To her chidren's children she told the tale
OF the man whose hair was always white

Venire-Men And Talesmen.

Luther Latin Mills has explained to q
Chicago reporter the proper appellation
for the men summoned in the Cronin
case.
"If you want to be technically correct,
said he, "call them 'venire-men.' When
a regular pannel is summoned the prop
er term is juror or, 'iuryman,' and a
citizen becomes such from the moment
he is summoned. 'Talesmen' are such
men as may be called by bailiff under
the direction of the court, without the
issuance of any special venire, to fill an
exhausted regular panel or take the
place OF regularly impaneled jurors. The
men in this case may be called 'yenire.
mem or Jurors but they are not tales
men,"
The men who are being examined from
day to day touching their competency tO
serve as jurors have been variously de-
nominated in the newspapers as Jurors,
'jurymen," "venire-men" and "tales-
men," Most of the headline writers
have persisted in calling them ''tales
men,"
