The OIdeSet Tree.

In the royal gardens at Kew there is
branch of what is said to be the Oldest tree
in the world-the famous dragon tree (dra-
caena draco) of Orotava. This tree, which
was destroyed by a great gale some years
ago, was, the new weekly paper the Rocket,
says, supposed TO be at least 1900 or 5000
years old-some assigned it a much longer
growth A branch was removed from it
and brought to Kew, where it still thrives;

Bradsreet's Journal says: THE
brewing of beer in Japan has already
attained such a stage of development
that the importation of foreign beer
has become very Insignificant. In the
year 1880 there did not exist a single
brewery in Japan, and now Japanese
beer is being exported to China and
America German used to send large
quantities of beer in bottles to Japan,
which in 1890 amounted still to 10000
quintaIs, of the value of $50 900 marks;
but in 1895 the quantity was only 1000
quintals, worth 10000 marks. 1t is
proof of the progress of the Japanese
beer brewing that there has been
great increase. in the expOrtation= of
brewing material to Japan from Ger-
many within the last six years, tOtaIing
for that period 100000 marks" This
looks as if Japanese beer might some

Poor Miss Field. This expression
has been uttered by more than one HO-
noluIu friend since the sad death of the
noted writer. About four months have
elapsed since Honolulu friends laid her
body in it's temporary resting place,
and the final disposition seems to be
as indefinite as on the day of her death.
Kind frienGs have been profuse in their
expressions of sympathy, but there
seems to be no one to take up the final
settlement of her estate and give the
matter undivided attention for more
than a few hours at a time. Now a
man comes forward and says that Miss
Fields will contains explicit directions
to have her remains cremated. To the
friends here, this constant talk about
Miss Fields wishes seems almost sac
religious, when there seems to be no
one who will make it his or her bust
ness to find that will, and thereby put
an end to the conjectures that are go
ing the rounds throughout the United
States. 1t is time for someone to act
in the spirit of true friendship. The
people here have done all they can and
will do more when Miss Fields friends
in the States will open the way.

in power in 1892 they had gone about
the work of reducing the tariff more
inteIligently, it is highly probable that
Mckinley would not have had the same
damaging figures with which 20 attack

Whether McKinley's position of ia

with the majority of the American vo-

McKINLEY'S LETTER.

The latest item of interest in the
ley's letter in which he formally ac-
cepts the nomination rendered him by
the Republican party. In that letter
the issues OF the campaign are clearly
outlined in McKinley's usual careful
and straightforward style. Perhaps
the most interesting feature is the
prominence which he gives the money
problem and his demonstration of the
fact that free silver is by no means the
great panacea for the financial woes of
the American common people. His let
ter also indicates that the Republicans
find they cannot make the campaign
fight on the tariff as was undoubtedly
their desire and first intention to do.
The silver craze has assumed such
shape that it is impossible to avoid it.
McKinley's letter which is practically
an address to the people shows conclu-
Sively that the sO-called crime of 1878"
had little or nothing to do with the
financial troubles of 1898 and the de-
preston in trade that has followed
since that time 1t also demonstrates
the impossibility of keeping silver at
par with gold by the simple declaration
by the government that a given num-
Der of grains of silver shall have the

certain that a protective policy and the
continuance of the present monetary
standard will do more to bring about a
return to former prosperity than will

and a further reduction of American
tariffs. If, when the Democrats came

Ii Hung Changes VISIT to the United
States is in many respects most re-
markable. In "a country where the
feeling toward the Chinese is almost
akin to hatred and where laws are en-
forced to keep the Chinese laborer from
putting, foot on American soil, the
great viceroy finds himself received
with pomp and splendor that has sell
dom been equalled in the annals of Am
erican history Outside official circles,
where Ii must needs be received cor
daily, the noted Chinaman is some
thing like a big curio. For his people
generally the Americans have no use,
but they are quite ready to do homage
to this representative who is indeed a
man whose name Will always stand out
prominently in the history of the Chi
nese Empire. As for Ii Hung Chang,
he will probably form the opinion that
nation can smile and smile and be a
villain still. There will undoubtedly
be prOfuse expressions of friendship
and good wishes for the great and good
friend and his people, but it is peculiar
friendship that the United States is
showing the Chinese.

he has the rank of Ambassador, but
bears letters of Introduction only to
the sOvereigns of the several courts
he is visiting, without any special mis-
sion. The Chinese, reversing our GUS
tom in this as in many other respects,
put their surname first. Ii Hung
Chang, therefore, is equivalent to
Smith Henry James. Ii Hung Thang.
as he is often called, means Grand
Secretary Ii. In the days of the Taep-
ing rebellion he was known Familiarity
as Ii Futai-Futai meaning Governor

Opening an envelope by pulling a
string is the latest labor-saving device.
Like all simple cOntrivances, it seems
queer no one thought of it before, but
that doesn't impair its usefulness.
Any envelope can be equipped with the
opener. An ordinary piece of thread
is inserted at the top of the flap, and
when the fold is made the thread pro-
jects from one end. To open the en-
velope all that is necessary to do is to
pull back the thread. This envelope
opener is purely a New York affair, and
it promises to be very popular with the
