JAPANESE WovEN GOODS.

Although there is some reason to
think that the alert Japanese will soon
be able to match or overmatch US in
the making of matches, there is no good
reason to think that they will soon be
able to seriously compete with US in
the making of woven goods. At least
a japanese commission says SO, and it
ought to know. The Japanese commits

The commissioners, among other in

featuring in Japan, that wages for men

women twenty per cent, the price for

Of products has fallen two per cent,
and yet in spite Of these figures, be-
cause Of the decline in the price of
American cotton amounting to about
fifteen per cent, the Japanese mills
have been able to pay dividends that
in this country would prove exceedingly
welcome in these times For example,
only one cotton mill in Japan paid so
low q semi-annual dividend as FIVE per
cent last year. Two paid eight per
cent, three ten per cent, while the rest
ranged from thirteen to twenty per
cent. per annum in dividends.
1t is to be hoped that the commission
hasn't been willy and made two reports,
one for private circulation and the 9TH
er for publication. 1t will be we'll

LUXURIOUS MEETING.

A curious meeting is to be held at
Southern Pines, North Carolina, April
%. 1t is to be called conference on
southern interstate insurance" The
delegates to 1t are persons appointed
by the governors of southern States,
presidents of boards of trade and cham
bers of commerce, mayors of cities and
towns, and editors of leading news
papers. The object of the conference is
southern people to the large amount of
money that Is annually going out of
ance. 1t is said that persons insured
in the South send away two dollars for
every dollar they get back. 1t is ac-
cordingly desired that southern people
should insure only in southern COM
panies, so that, whatever be got back,
the whole amount paid in premiums
shall remain in the South North Caro-
lima, it is said, gets back annually but
one million of the two millions paid to
outside insurance companies.
OF course it would be a good thing
for North Carolina If she could get
back all she pays to outside insurance
companies, but all the buildings in
sured in North Carolina do not burn,
nor do all the people Of North Caro-
lima whose lives are insured keep up
their payments or die at just the right
moment And it might also be a good
thing for North Carolina If she didn't
pay any money to outside insurance
companies. In order for it to be a good
thing, however, it would be necessary
for North Carolina to have insurance
companies of It's own as solid and sound
as the insurance companies Of Connec-
ticut, for instance. But such COM
panies cannot be made by resolutions.
They can be made by resolution and a
few other necessary things. If North
Carolina can furnish the materials for
making them she will do we'll and she
can hook in some northern money then.

OTIS SMITHS SOCIAL STRUGGLE.

OTIS SMITH'S SOCIAL STRUGGLE.
Those who desire to shine in Society
and in the Society Notes should look
before they leap. They should consider
whether they have those charms Of
person, intellect and manner that all
real shining Society people have, and
they should also consider whether they
can pay the price, either in their own
money or money that they can borrow.
If they don't carefully consider all
these things they may not shine at all,
or if they do shine some their shining
may be soon and sadly snuffed out
What may happen Is shown in the
melancholy case of Otis Smith, of At
lanta, Georgia, who aspired to shine in
Society in Atlanta, Georgia, ridiculous
as that may seem to those whose loca-
ton gives them the inestimably blessed
privilege of aspiring to shine in New
Haven Society. But there is society in
Atlanta and Otis Smith asplred to
shine in it. He was arrested for en-
bezzlement the other day, and was in
terviewed by a writer of Society Notes
IT have been asked" he said, why l
did not go along and do the best I could
on my legitimate income, which was
about 81 200 year. But it takes money
to hold place in Society in Atlanta.
If you do not put up the stuff you are
not appreciated. So long as you pay
for the fun you are king bee, but the
moment you do not get in the push
with the cash you are nobody 1 was in

theater parties, germans, suppers, flow
ers, and other presents, and I was like

battery could not let go. After l

Brother Smiths statement is sad, but
instructive. Those who feel that they
must get into 'the push" at any cost
will do well not to let their feeling run
entirely away with their judgment The

A curious story comes from the region
of Cape Fear river, North Carolina. 1t
seems that the 1owlands along that riv-
or are exceedingly fertile, but are la
bic to be inundated with freshets to the
complete destruction of the crops. A
number Of years ago resident of this
district undertook to insure the farmers
against the loss of their crops by reason
of these freshets, and 1t was noticed
that whenever he would insure the
crops there was freedom from these
disasters, but upon each Of those years
when he declined to issue his policies
there would be destruction of the crops
by the floods. He seemed to have some
occult way of deciding Enthusiastically
when there would be freshets and when
there would not He was, of course, a
Yankee by birth and education, and
was a keen and shrewd observer of
things. He had noticed that the region
of Cape Fear river was visited by pc
culiar variety of wasps that made its
home In the soil and that some years 1t
would prepare its nest on the flats,
while in others 1t would seek the high
er ground. He further observed that
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1897-04-03

these Wasps never made a mistake, but
always located their homes on the hills
in such years as the freshets came and
in other years they sought the lower
ground. Hence he was enabled to bet
on a sure thing" when he Issued his in
surance policies, The source of his abb
solute knowledge remained profound
mystery until he realized that his own
death was at hand, when he gave up
the secret OF his success.

Philadelphia may be what they call
"a slow town." but some Of it's inhabi-
tants are not 80 very slow. In order to
boom business an enterprising Phila-
delphia grocer advertised several thou
sand five-cent loaves of bread for sale
at one cent each. His rival was in de-
spair until a brilliant idea came into
his head. He hired small army of
boys and girls to buy up all the loaves
at cent each. At o'clock Grocer No
had sold all his bread, and those who
came later denounced him as a fraud,
who had fooled them with lying ad-
vertisement. Meanwhile the foxy gro

discounted his rival and turned the
tide in his own favor, but made profit
on the bread as well.

From Miladl's Tailor.

A gentlemanly little saddle coat made
for young tailor-made woman was
in covert cloth and had a loose full
back that hung straight from the
shoulder. The seams were strap finish,
the collar was wide, and a really horsey
touch was given by the enormous flaps
to the pockets. Asked if saddle"
meant either wheel or horse, the owner
said Cert" which was not as attrac-
tive as the coat, but was significant
of the tendencies of some mannish

A Missoula (Montana) man has made
an interesting invention. 1t is an ap-
plication of the principle Of a steam
boat propeller. Screw-shaped wings
are attached to a conical-shaped iron
casing mounted on a hollow shaft, and
the whole affair is submerged in run
ming water, where the force of the cur
rent turns the casing. Within the cas-
ing the rotary is changed to recipro-
eating motion and operates a water
pump. 1t has been shown in expert
ments that one of these pumps with a
four-inch pipe, placed in the water, re-
curing no fuel, no attention and no
piers or barges for anchorage, depend
ing upon the current of the stream
alone for power, will pump thousand
gallons of water an hour in a five-nile
current. The volume Of water deliver
ed will increase, of course, with the
force of the current. The pump is an
chored in the stream by means of a
cross-arm and guy-lines running to
each shore or to piles driven in the bed
of the stream.

UNJUST TAXATION.

One Of the causes of discomfort
among the "plain people," as Bryan
terms them, is unequal taxation.
This sort of people do not so
much camplain that they are high
ly taxed, as that the people who
are not so plain, and who, like
Jeshuron, have "waXed fat and
kicked" are taxed a great deal less
than they ought to be, or are not
taxed at all.
If the financial nabobs were to
pay their honest share of taxes,
the burdens of the "p!ain people"
would be much lighter.-Los
Angeles Record.
This is the idea exactly. The
main fault with our tax system is
its inequality. The poor man pays
full assessment value upon his all,
while the richer the man the lower
the assessment in proportion. So
strong has this inequality of tax.
alton grown, that we now in Ari'
zona have powerful railroad cor,
porations which are exempt from
taxation entirely.-COuri
This is all very true, but we be,
lieve if the Territorial Board of
Equalization would place these
taxless concerns upon the asses
sment list they could be compelled
to pay their taxes. But the rail-
roads are not the only corporations
that escape taxation. We have
rich cattle companies and mining
corporations that do rot pay
more than one third what they
should.

came up from there this week. He
informs us that the surveyors, who
