Chinese Imnortatians.

The report of the maritime Gus
toms of the Chinese empire for 1890
shows that the importations amount
ed to 127, 093, 4S1 taels, an increase of
IA per cent. over the preceding year.
The expectations. on the contrary,
have fallen from 96, 947, s32 taels in
1889 to 81, IA, 4S0 in 1890. This dimi-
mutton is due to the active competi-
ton of Ceylon and India in the tea
trade. The Importation of rice was
considerable; that of opium was in
creased per cent, and of cotton IS
per cent.
The expectation of tea amounted
to 1,665, 1896 piculs, as opposed to
/, ST., 331 in 1889, and the value of
the silk was 80, 255, 905 taels, against
SO, 401, 967 taels in 1889. The entire
customs receipts for 1890 were 81
996, 226 taels. A tael is equivalent
to seventy five cents. Philadelphia

THE statement is made that the
earnings of the Pennsylvania Railroad
from the Carnegie mills are enough to
pay the dividends. That is extrcva-
giant, but it is not so far from the truth.
The late Franklin b. Gowen, Of the
Reading, said that coal and oil paid
the Pennsylvania dividends. This
statement was true. The Pennsyl-
vania daily coal and coke traffic, under
normal conditions, is larger than the
average weekly shipment of eastbound
freight from Chicago. 1t might be
added to this, the city of Pittsburg
ships more freight than any other
city in the United States.

His Passengers.

So an Elevated Railway Guard Sizes Up
His Passengers.
"I suppose that we see more people
than any other class of men" " remarked
the guard on an elevated train to New
York Tribune reporter. "It's a crowd
all day long, and every day in the year"
"Well, what sort of an opinion of hui
manity do you form?" asked the re-
porter.
"Sheep," replied the guard; "thats
the long and short of it, We catch all
kinds-rich and poor, old and young,
big and little, fat and thin--and they're
all flock of sheep, after all, with here
and there a goat. See that man in the
next car, hanging to the strap?'
"Yes."
Goat. And the two women and a
boy?"
"Yes"
"Sheep. See the seats at the other
end of the car? Now watch"
The guard stepped inside the door
and said: "Seats at the other end of the
car, ladies and gentlemenw The strap
hangers looked surprised. One woman
and the boy went forward to occupy the
vacant seats; the other woman said she
preferred to stand and the man came
out on the platform.
Curious, isn't it?" said the guard,
philosophically. Each one of those
people stood because the others did and
every time we have full train that sort
of thing happens. A crowd collects in
one car or maybe at one end of car.
The first one stands because there isn't
a seat and the others come in and stand
because he does. That's why l call hui
mauity sheep They all flock one
after another Then, if the car is really
full, two or three men will stand around
the door and every blessed soul that
gets on will stick there, too, though
perhaps the center of the car is clear
and you keep asking them to move up
"Same principle, l suppose" sug-
gested the reporter, "as raising an um-
brella outside of theater on clear
night and any number of people will
raise umbrellas and turn up trousers
and never look for themselves"
Same principle. Sheep! Fiftieth.

FATALIsM IN RUSSIA.

Perhaps 1t Is No Wonder That Peasants
suffer from Famine ana Plague.
The Russian peasant is like child,
ignorant of the practical bearings of
events, and utterly unable to cope with
them. Yet he never loses his faith in
God. During the famine, when the
peasantry were living, or rather dying,
on bread made of pigweed, chaf and
other equally nutritious and more moi
some articles, they endured in submis-
sion. Goods viii is at the bottom of it,"
said they "He gave and He takes away"
writer in Temple Bar gives the fol-
lowing illustration of their fatalism,
and the excuses they invariably find for
inaction:
One day, a Russian village official
was riding with me in search of some
strayed horses. The black soil was like
dust, and he sighed heavily as his mare
sank in the light stuff
"Ah," he said, "what land is this? II
is like a woman broken with sorrow.
How can she find food for her child?"
HAS it been so all summer?' asked
mot so, indeed. There was frost in
the spring, and men said frost and fair
weather. But then came the dryness,
and though mass was said in the fields,
it went to nothing And then we dug
up the drunkards-"
"The what?"
1.-The drunkards, your honor Often
it is that when the drunkards are
pulled out of their graves, and flung
into pools of water, that rain will come;
we know not why. But not only rain
came, but hail and fierce storms and
fire, and withered the little that was
grown. Then after that, dryness again,
and now," he shrugged his shoulders,
''the famine"
'Must there be famine?" asked.
"Surely," he said, with smile, 1.-The
grain we have is soon eaten, and then
what?"
"Will no provision be made for the
future?"
"Who should make provisionP Now
we can buy much and eat much; after
wards, well, the little father will not
see us diel"
4. So depending on the czar and public
/ charity, they rest content in making no
( provision for the future.

DON'T GET FRIGHTENED !

1t is reassuring to know that Secre.
tary Foster, OF the Treasury Depart
ment, who is in New York City
making a study of the cholera 81 ua-
tion, is of the opinion that exaggerated
fear of cholera is uuwarranted. He
recalls the summer of 1887, when
there was more cholera in this port
than now, and many deaths, yet the
pestilence was averted from the land.
Encouraging, too, is the opinion of
eE-Surgeon. General Hamilton that
the act of March ~, 1890, gives the
authorities at Washington very com
plete powers in such an emergency as
this. 1t provides that "Whenever it
shall be made to appear satisfactory to
the President" that cholera or other
pestilence shall be rampant, "he is
hereby authorized to cause the Sec
retary of the Treasury to promulgate
such rules and regulations as may be
necessary to prevent the spread of the
disease"
The people, in the event of clash
between the local authorities and the
Federal government as to jurisdiction
in quarantine matters, will rejoice that
the latter has supreme authority, and
may be assured the Federal govern
ton himself drew the act referred to,
he may be assumed to know what
powers its provisions were design ed to
confer.
