TWO Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it?
Ana.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on a single scale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
Ii both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to
be tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough remedy. The people
have been using it for years and have
found that it can always be depended
upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs,
colds and Group there is nothing equal
to Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Fer

OUR DUTY TO THE ORIENT.

1t is now thirty-seven years since
William H. Seward, as secretary Of
state, gave these instructions to cur
minister to- Japan: "will you, by
an equal, just, and honorable conduct
of your mission, make the people of
Japan respect not only the institu
tions of your own country but The
institutions of Christianity and west
ern civilization" Our new duty to
the Orient could not be better ex-
pressed in one sentence than in the
words of the great statesman who
during the most critical period of our
history filed the Office now held by
John Hay.
In 1861 Japan was more civilized
in Its way than the Philippines are
now, but it would be difficult to con-
ceive a more difficult national task
than the removal of the prejudice
that the island empire then felt
toward the institutions of Christianity
and western civilization. The object
which our minister was ordered to
keep in view and the end toward
which he was to work seemed remote
in the extreme. But the instructions
given we're followed. No pains were
spared to influence the people of
Japan through just and honorable
treatment. Astonishing results were
obtained. Japan Is now reckoned
among the civilized nations. Chris
tianity has been accepted and is the
religion of many thousands of the
people, especially in the more intel
ligent class, and our general western
civilization is making prodIgious
strides forward. Japan is now our
next. door neighbor in the far East,
and nothing could induce her people
TO 90 back to the conditions which
prevailed before the American gov
ernment ordered Commodore Perry
to compel the japanese government
to open the port of Yokohama to the
commerce of the world.
What Perry began craftsmanship
carried forward. What Dewey made
possible craftsmanship must make
actual. Diplomacy has very nearly
completed its part in defining the
Jines within which our duties must be
done in the Orient of today. The
rest must be accomplished by the
American administrator, the Ameri-
can school teacher, the American
merchant, and the American mission
ary. They are the men on whom
lies the burden of fulfilling the duty
of our civilization to that part of the
f.. .a~, with W .ch destiny has cast
op. IuI.

In Lorna Doone," which is one OF
the best things in literature, occurs the
mention of a large, low moaning sound
that goes over the robber haunted
moors of Devon, and scares the agri-
cultural public into several convulsions
at time. If the period of this tale re-
ferred to our own day it would be easy
to explain this phenomenon on the
ground that the people who made this
noise had one of the sirens, like that
which is heard in our harbOr every
now and then, and which, and hearing
it for the first time, impresses the list
ener with fear that Gabriel must be

They range in depth from 120 to 160

residents are at liberty to use or not
since custom, if not the law, sanctions

fore a storm the wells begin to whistle,
and in proportion to the severity of the
tempests will be the loudness of the
noise. In extreme cases it has been so

The Japanese have a curious way of
clearing railroad tunnels of smoke and
gases. Each end of the tunnel is pro-
yided with a canvas curtain, hung at
the top so that when it is dropped it
covers the entire mouth of the tunnel
When a train enters the tunnel the cur
tain at that end is dropped and it is
kept down until the train leaves the
other end of the tunnel. The result is
that all the smoke and gases are car
ried along with the train and forced
into the open air at the other end OF
the tunnel. 1t is asserted that this
plunger action is so perfect that smoke
from an engine seldom reaches as far
back as the middle of the train. Scien-
life men are puzzled to account for
the success of the system.
