Hundreds of distinguished foreigners

Bears Gall Is worth Money.

A bears gall was recently sent to
gentleman in this city, says the Ell Paso
(Tex.) Herald, as slight token of es-
TEEN from an intimate and dear friend
in the country, with the suggestion that
1t might possess pecuniary value in
the Chinese language. Thinking that
it was intended to imply that he lacked
gall, our city gentleman threw 1t in the
street. Soon afterward a Chinaman
came in. and, on being Intercepted,
offered one dollar for it. The work of
redeeming it by a side door occupied
one minute, and the price obtained was
two dollars They are considered very
valuable by Chinese physicians, and are
much sought after. We now quote
bears gall in fair demand, with limited
supply; political gall abundant. with
few takers.

department that all of the plans have
formulated and that it is intended to
make the collection as complete rs
possible in every respect Everything
will be displayed, from the fruit trade
down to the most ordinary manufao-
turcd articles For example, the fiber
industry will be thoroughly explained,
the cocoanut tree aud articles manu-
featured from it, such as the nuts,
mating, scrubbing brushes, the new
material which is used instead of cot
ton waste, and everything else that can
be obtained of like character. In ad-
dltion to showing the samples of man-
ufacturcd articles, such as pottery,
tiles, etc, the various sorts of clay will
be placed on view in the hope that
capitalists may bc tempted to invest
their money in the country. The ad-
visibility of having an afternoon
coffee two or three times week in

making it n sort of rendezvous where
West Indians could drop in and sit
down and drink Jamaica coffee with
their friends. Lectures or talks NAV
also be given. Every district on the
island is being carefully examined, and
everything which can show it's products
and resources will be displayed.
