Too Late

Perhaps lenuysou has written moth
ing that appeals 20 the hearts of all Whu
read his poems more than the lyric OF
Too Late" The burden of the sad
refrain comes home with telling force
20 the hearts Of those who have lost
friends by that dread disease con.
sumption, They realize go late,n the
result OF neglect. They feel that the
dear one IN ghJ have been saved II they
had heeded the warning of the hack,
lug cough, the pallid cheek, aud weak
sulug system. They feel this all the
more keenly because they see others
being rescued from the grasp Of the
destroyer, aud they think what Is
saving Others might have saved their
loved one. When the hrst slgual of
danger l. seen take steps to avert the
catastrophe. Ba wise ia time. DR.

OuR CONSUMPTION OF woo.

The total supply Of raw wool for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1898, was
about 532, 100000 in addition to the inn
portation Of about S3s. 600, 900 worth Of
imported cloth at the foreign value. II
Is estimated that the wool required To
produce these goods WAS oyer three
pounds of unwashed wool per dollar's
worth Of goods This would therefore
make total consumption by the Amer
lean people Of nearly 05O, 600 900 pounds
of raw wool, equal 10 about p per cent.
of the worlds supply. As the American
people are only o per cent Of the world =
population, aud AS they use 27 per cent
o. the worlds production Of wool, the
per capita consumption Is 81 pounds,
which is the largest 10y any nation Ia
the world. IL h therefore not surpris.

auese. be further said, have done
everything TO wound the feelings OF
the Chinese. Directly the Chinese
Minister had left Toxic, az the out
break OF the active hostilities the jap
ausse destroyed the Chinese Legation
aud Buddhist temple, besides setting
fire 10 and destroying Chinese club
houses and residences, and numbering
helpless Chinese in the streets.
Count Aoki scouts the idea OF any
cessation Of hostilities. In an inter
view be fiatly denied that the Chinese
had been murdered or their property
destroyed 81 Toxic. On the other hand,
be said, the Chinese had insulted the
japanese Minister az Tien-tsin. and
had massacred fifty harmless Japan
csc labOrers who were working in the
camphor fields in Korea. II was also
untrue, he declared, that the Japanese
had demanded that the Koreans cut
their hair. The King and the people
OF Korea have been friendly with the
japanese since the battle near Asan.
