How Nations Have Encronched Upon

How Nations Have Encronched Upon
One Anothcr's Trade.
The annals of commerce are not en-
trely without d spice of romance.
There is little retributive Justice that
savors of the novelist's art in the way
the spoiler is sometimes spoiled in busi-
ness relations. In an article entitled
Made in Japan" the Pail Mall Gazette
shows how nations have encroached
upon one another's business, and
reaped for a time a rich harvest, only
rival people, and be forced to stand
aside while the trade slipped from their
hands into the keeping of another ma
ton.
In old times the Dutch. by importing
English clay, made good profit out of
limitations of Chinese porcelain, and
presently the Dutch product became es-
tablished in the markets of the world
as Delft ware.
But the Dutchman was no more Sc
cure in his profitable trade than had
been his predecessor, the Chinaman.
The English potters took to copying the
Dutch patterns, and sold their pottery
much cheaper, and the north of Eng
land became headquarters for the Delft
china.
Again, however, the spoiler has been
spoiled. OF late the japanese have made
themselves masters of the art of repro
ducing the patterns best Fixed in Eng
land, and have begun to encroach on the
domain long monopolized BY the Eng
lish potter. The japanese product is
finer and stronger, and above all cheap
or than the best English ware, and
japan is providing the markets with
goods which were originally Chinese
mononOlN.

No Longer Any Need 10 Go Through
Europe with Them,

Up to times within the memory of
living men, almost no one of means
travelled through Europe without a
courier. Before railroads were built
and before good guide books were print
ed, he was almost indispensable. His
tribe survives, writes Herbert Luce in
Going Abroad, but in greatly dimin-
ished numbers. TO the self-reliant
traveller he is of no use whatever. In
deed, he is frequently a positive in
cumbrance, and worse. To my mind,
one of the great pleasures of travel is
in learning to travel by myself. There
is satisfaction. pleasure and education
in planning routes, deciphering time
tables. making bargains, learning by
observation the lay of the land.
The time may have been when a cour
icr could save traveller more than his
cost. Most certainly that is not the case
now. On the contrary. as he gets per-
centage on every purchase his party
makes (Which. of course, comes out of
the purchaser in increased price,. and
as it is often for his interest to advise
the more costly route, the more costly
hotel, or the more costly excursion, he
eats up much more than his wages,
while saving positively nothing. Bean
declares that in a two, weeks trip in
southern Spain. which he made side by
side with couple having a courier, he
invariably reached the hotel first. got
better rooms, saw all the sights to as
good advantage; yet the courier was
of his kind an expert. The fact is that
companies, railroads and dlandlords have
so we'll studied it's needs. books are so
plentiful, that you couldn't very we'll
get off the track or have a mishap if you
tried.

GOT RID OF TIE CATS.

Clever Plan of New York Landlord
TO RIA His Premises of seTcnoders.
The inhabitants of row of fine fiat
houses in the Harlem district of New
York have for long time past been
greatly annoyed 10y nocturnal cat Choir
uses, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. In
desperation plans of poisoning and
shooting were discussed. but the owner
OF the fats. who resided in one of them,
and was law-abiding man, deter
mined to adopt better plan, and have
some sport at the same time Placing
two traps on either side of the alley
ways adjoining his flats, he attached
wires to the traps, making a wire con-
nection with an electric bell in his
cellar. When a frisky feline took the
bait, he came quickly on the scene
and put the quarry into Il bag. Cap
tiyes were turned over to the S. =. C.
y. and taken away in patches of from
three to ten every night. When about
10 Of the unwelcome sereraders had
been transferred in this way, the strain
ON the society proved too severe, and
the landlord was told to do his own
execution in future.
His first idea was TO electrocute the
animals, but he found that the appara-
tus necessary was somewhat too elab-
crate Finally he took the simpler way
