The English Dislike of Commerce.

We believe that the English, who are
in continental opinion nation of shop
keepers, are not by instinct or by aspira-
ton trading people at all, or even an
industrial one. They are a seafaring
people by tendency, and as the sea pro-
duces nothing they are compelled to
trade, and circumstances have driven
them into the industrial life, but their
proclivity is toward struggle of any
kind, and not, except as an incident in
that struggle, toward the making of
money. 1t was quite late in their his
tory that they recognized trading as
their vocation, and much later still that
they surrendered the notion that to be
trader, whether merchant or manufac-
turer or dealer in money, was to be
comparatively base person. Till with
in the last few years all historians
thought economies rather unworthy
subjects of their pens, and the social
distinctions drawn against industry
were Of the most CALLING character. In.
deed, they have not disappeared yet, the
contempt which was once felt for the
merchant and the banker being still en-
tertained for the distributor, though he
often combines both functions. The
great industrial is still hardly reckoned
ON par with the great agriculturist,
and the shopkeeper Of any kind is still
placed far below any sort of professional
Money, it is true, is now almost the
only source of irresponsible power, and
those who possess it begin, like the
powerful in all countries and ages, to
be highly regarded, but the grandson of
a Tottenham Court road peer would
much rather his peerage had been &C.
quired in battle or by chicane than out
of shop, however large. Even the cap
tains of industry, who are like the old
barons in many respects, are not thought
of as quite their equals, and the greatest
of railway builders, say the late Mr..
Brassey, is not placed on the level of a
great agrioulturist, say the late Mr..
Coke of Norfolk. The state has honored
both. but the popular sentiment, which,
and not the state, settles what Greeks
are like, condones, rather than delights
in, the action of the state. The difference
is disappearing, but it dies hard.-Lon-
don Spectator.

at was more than 90 years ago that

on the market" said the inventor of
compound that has now passed out Of
the category Of patent medicines and
become well introduced. "The question
that bothered me was how to get the
stuff before the people and make them
personally acquainted with its qualities,
SO that | might find out whether
my own faith and confidence in the
article were justified. But how was to

the question that / had to answer.

they said it would be useless to put it
ON their shelves, as nobody would buy
it. l sent it to doctors, but that did very
little toward getting the article into the
hands of the people. l gave it away at
fairs, and the result was that a small
portion of the people there got nearly
all of the stuff, while the others went
without any. Plainly that would not
do. But didn't know yet what would
do.
after awhile it occurred to me that

in q certain direction. He was to dis

to send the stuff ON ahead, so that at

would be supplied with enough to give
away.
"The fellow started ON his long trip
and distributed thousands of packages
of the stuff. Other men started in differ
ent directions, and there were only a
few thinly populated and remote corners
of the country that could not have some
personal experience of my invention.
The men finished their trips and wait
ed. But no response came. The people
whom had expected to answer with Q
cry for what had given them remained
mute. A year passed, and every cent of
available capital had gone into the
scheme. Thousands of dollars had gone,
and evidently no more had been done
toward creating demand than if the
stuff had been locked in closet and
left there. strained hard, but never

AND THE RIGOR OF THE GAME.

Instantly there was anuproar. Saun-
ders, grounded his cue on the floor and
stood' calmly amid the storm, his eyes
fixed on the green cloth. There were
shouts of, You were not interrupted"
"That's for the umpires to decide, !"
"Play your game, Saundersr' Don't be
bluffedp' The old man stood up with
the rest, and his natural combativeness
urged him to take part in the fray and
call for fair play. The umpire rose and
demanded order When the tumult had
subsidized, he sat down. Some of the
high fliers, however, cried: Decision

There is nothing to decide" said
the umpire severely. $50 on with your
play, Mr.. Saunders
Then young Saunders did thing
that took away the breath of his
friends. He deliberately struck the balls
with his cue ball and scattered them far
and wide. A simultaneous sigh seemed
to rise from the breasts of the True
Blues
"That is magnificent, but it is not
war" said the man beside old Saun-
ders "He has no right to throw away
a single chance when he is SO far be-
hind"
'Oh, he's not so far behind Look at
the score" put in man ON the right.
Saunders carefully nursed the balls
up together once more, scored off them
for awhile, and again he struck them
far apart. This he did three times. He
apparently seemed bent ON showing how
completely he had the table under con-
troll. Suddenly great cheer broke out,
and young Saunders rested as before
without taking his eyes from the cloth.
"What does that mean?" cried the
old man excitedly, with dry lips.
"Why, don't you see? He's tied the
score. / imagine this is an almost I'M
precedented run. 1 believe he's got

Hammond came up with flushed face
and grasped the old man by the arm
with vigor that made him vince.
Ibid you ever see anything grander
than that?' he said, under cover of the
momentary applause 'I'm willing to
lose my $4,000 now without a MUIR
muir. You see you are a mascot after
all"
The old man was too much excited to
speak, but he hoped the boy would take
no more chances. Again came the click
clack of the balls The father was
pleased to see that Dick played now with
all the care and caution he had observed
at first. The silence became intense, al
most painful. Every man leaned for
ward and scarcely breathed.
All at once Prognor strobe down to
the billiard table and stretched his hand
across it. A cheer shook the ceiling.
The cup would remain on the black mar

A fact that VIC greatly oeplore,

And not spill. the chips on the floor.

the ACCESSIBILITY of putting an end

launches out on one of his critical
speeches. This Is due not so much
to the fear of Senator Tillman as
to the fact that he dares 10 ride
rough shod over the time honored
manners of speech of the United
State Senate. Tillman's influence
can hardly be put down as so thor
oughly bad as the majority of his
critics make out: He at least
brings his fellow members in close
touch with a line of thought that
is uppermost in the minds of a
good sized number Of American
citizens. 1t Is by no means a bad
plan for the class of people he re-
presents to have an outlet for their
pent-up feelings. The conserva-
tive element cannot expect, nor is
it always best for them, to always
have their own way in a country

The Boston Herald quotes "a
manufacturer Of advanced age and
long experience" as predicting
that the tariff bill Will not be pass
ed before the first day Of October.
This is not a happy outlook for
Hawaii or the United States for
that matter. On the other hand,
at the end of the third days tariff
discussion in the Senate, Senator
Vest called attention to the fact
that more work had been done in
three days than had been accom-
plished in any previous tariff de-
bate in three weeks. The predic-
tons on the tariff seem to be re
gulated largely by the personal
hopes of the prophet or the cOndi-
ton of his digestive apparatus.
After all it is a good deal like a
horse race. You put UP your
money and await results.

No subject in connection with Dairy
tention, or is apparently mort needful

terra and disease creating germs exist
ing in milk or capable of development
in it. This is especially true of the
tuberculin or consumptive germs, the
appallingly dangerous Importance of
which is rapidly becoming more gen
orally apparent, and has already been
made the subject of legislation in many
countries.
1t is found that the centrifugal sep

now certain that this feature in the
alpha" discs is of the most far reach
ing Importance.
The "HUMMING BIRD" or No. 0,
the smallest of the De Laval Cream
possesses all the advantages
of the larger styles of the Alpha" ma
chimes, and is designed for popular
household and small dairy use, from
the family buying its milk and wishing
to turn part of it into cream or butter
as wanted, to the private dairy or
farmer having less than to COWS.
1t is extremely easy of operation, be-
ing easily capable of use altogether by
women and children. It's capacity is
IT'S pounds.
BABY No. 2, intended for dairies of
from to 10 or 20 COWS; and often
used in larger ones. It's capacity is
$50 pounds.
Amongst the many advantages to be
derived from the use of the De Laval
Separator are: Betterment of quality,
saving of from 20 to so per cent. of
cream, saving of skim milk and saw
ing of time, labor and plant
We are disposing of these at a con-
siderable reduction on former prices,
so as to place every dairy farmer in
position TO possess one.
We have also CYLINDER CHURNS

MUST PLAN FOR THE FUTURE.

Some of the Eastern papers have
given publicity 10 a story that Min
ister Damon's real object in visit
ing England Is to prepare the way
for British annexation of Hawaii
I'm event OF the failure OF the Am
erican scheme. The correspond
ents of course, have a right TO say
what they please Of the thoughts
that engage the innermost and
secret pigeonholes of Minister Da-
mons mind, but we have yet TO
hear from a reliable source that he
has given any verbal demonstra-
ton Of the opinions with which he
Is credited
But suppose Minister Damon
had expressed himself in pro-Brit-
ish terms what then! 1t Is a rule
among officers Of the army and
navy, that while they are on duty,
in the garrison or pacing the quar-
ter-deck, they shall turn over III
their minds their course of action
in event of hostile attack. Why
then should an observing public
consider it a strange proceeding for
the people of Hawaii and their
public servants to ponder over their
course of action in event Of un-
expected possibilities! View the
conditions from any vantage point
desired the student of the situation
cannot get away from the fact that
Hawaii today Is gin the air" Just
where it will drop an all-pOwerful
Providence alone can say. The
political and commercial stability
of this country can be assured only
by one of the great national powers
reaching out a positive protecting
arm.
We believe that the United
States will fulfill the obligation OF
protection. We know that mani
fest destiny points i'll that direc-
ton. we know that the opinions of
the people in this country are posi-
lively favorable to the completion
of the American plan. We are
also aware that assertions as to
what the United States will do,
when made from this end of the
line are nothing more than asser-
tions. They prove nothing. In
view of the teaching that Good
helps those who help themselves"
why should the people of Hawaii
be expected to wander about like
dummies without a thought for
the future of the country! Why
should our friends refuse us the
privilege of securing protection
from other hands provided our
enemies in the United States ac-
complish their desire of having the
United States throw Hawaii over
board!
Minister Damon we'll knows, as
does every individual of average
common sense, that if he were to
offer Lord Salisbury the Hawaiian
Islands as a gift that representa-
tive of Great Britain would make
no move without first consulting
the United States. Minister Da-
mon Is a man who Is true to his
principles. He is an annexation
list and all the yarns the American
papers may see hit to circulate
won't change his opinions. At the
same time he Is one of the men
selected to watch over Hawaii's
interests at home and, for the time
being, abroad, and he Will not keep
his ewes shut while in England. If
he sees an opportunity to advance
Hawaii's commercial, financial or
political interests he may be de
pended upon TO improve 1t.
