The annual report Of the pass snger busi-
ness OF the Pacif, Mail Steamship company,
filed last week with the government at San
Francisco. shows an increase In travel be-
tween this country and the Orient which is
little less than phenomenal The approx

corresponding trips during the same sea-

IT is believed in off jial circles at Wash

the lead of other nations in the negotiations
of reciprocity treaties under the Dingley
tariff act. While other nations were lodg-
ing complaints against the terms of the act
and OF the very limited advantages offered
by the reciprocity clauses, the British en-
bassy at Washington has been at work
quietly carrying on negotiations for a ser
les OF treaties extending the bei efits of 30
much reciprocity as may be obtained under
the act to the British possessions in the
West Indies. Sir Julian Pauncefote has

Wanted-.-A Little Girl.

Where have they gone to-ihe little girls,
with natural manners and natural curls,
Who love their dollies and like their toys,
And talk Of something besides the boys2
Little old women In plenty find,
Matu Q in manners and old in mind;
Little old 1irts who talk of their beaus"
And vie with each other in stylish clothes.
Little old bellies, who, at nine or ten,
Are sick of pleasures and tired of men,
Weary of trave', Of balls, of fun,
And find no new things under the sun.
Once, in the beautiful long ago.
Some dear little children used TO know;
Girls who were as merry rs lambs Mt play.
And laughed and Tollicked the lifelong day
They thought not at all of the style Of their clothes
They never imagined that boys we're "beaus"i
"Other ghls, brothers " and mates" were they.
Splendid fellows to help them play
Where have they gone TOT II you see
One of them anywhere send her to me
would give medal Of purest gold
To one of those dear little girls Of old
With an Innocent heart and AN open smile,
Who knows not the meaning Of " Hirt or "styie.'
