In the manufacture Of jute rugs in
Sakai, the seat Of that industry in
Japan, about $500 persons are Gem
ployed, mostly girls and boys between
Z and 16 years old. There is no invest
ment Of capital in large central plants,
but the looms are are set up In the
dwellings Of the work-people, averag-
ing about three looms to each dwelling.
The same distribution Of looms Is OBJ
served in the manufacture of wool
rugs. In this industry important ad-
vances have lately been made, as the
result of which rugs are now turned
out that in appearance and durability
are almost equal to Turkish carpet. Az
mostly children of from to Is years
of age are employed in the manufacture
of japanese rugs, at wages ranging from
ten to twenty cents per day. it is not
difficult to see what the effect upon
the American carpet industry would
be If the jute and wool rugs Of Japan
were to be admitted to our market free
of duty.

The January customs receipts under
the Dingley law were more than Is per
cent in excess OF the customs receipts
in January Of last year under the Will
son law. Mr.. Dingley and his associ-
ates have good reason to be satisfied
with the new revenue measure which
they placed upon the statute book six
months ago. It has since that time
produced far more revenue than did
the Wilson law in the first six months
of its operations, and there is every
reason to believe that it will supply
from this time forward sufficient re-
ceipts to meet the running expenses Of
the government. The following table
shows the total earnings under the
Wilson law during the first six months
compared with the receipts of the
Dingley law during its six months, and

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18th, 1893.

SENIOR DUPUY DE LONE, Spanish
minister to the United States, will have
to step down and out. He does not
deny that he wrote the letter to Don
Jose Canelajas, which was purloined
by an agent of the Cuban junta, in
which he insults the president of the
United States and through him the
American people. 1t matters not that
his brutal attack on the president was
made in q private letter to private
citizen. So was the letter written by
Lord Sackville. Its contents were in
finitely less insulting than those Of De
Lome's letter, but they were criticism
of the administration and the president
and he was recalled at the request Of
the latter. In De Lome's letter this
representative of the Spanish govern
ment says of the president:
Besides the natural and inevitable
coarseness with which he repeats all that
the press and public opinion OfSpain has
said Of w eyler, it shows once more what
Mckinley is-weak and catering to the
rabble, and, besides, low politician who
desires to leave the door open to me and
to stand well with the jingoes oil his party.
After this coarse and ribald attack
on the president Senior de LONE can
hardly complain If he is regarded as
persona non grata by the head Of the
government to which he Is accredited.
Such language, no matter how it came
to light, since he does not deny that
he used it, necessarily terminates all
possibility Of further relations with our
government. If he shall not be prompt
ly recalled by the Spanish government
AS undoubtedly demanded in the
cable yesterday addressed by the Sec
rotary of state to Minister Woodford-
he will be given his passports. It
would be an interesting commentary
on the hypocrisies Of diplomatic inter-
course if the language respecting Presi-
dent McKinley's message on Cuban
affairs which he employs in this con-
fidential letter to his Spanish friend
could be contrasted with his official
utterances on that subject in his con-
versations with the officials of the
state department. This revelation Of
the private views Of the Spanish min
lister on the pacific tone OF the presi-
dents message-unless most vigorous
ly and emphatically repudiated and
condemned by the Spanish govern
ment-may exercise an important in
fluence on the course of our diplomatic
treatment Of the Cuban question.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty four hours; sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition OF the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence Of kidney trOub-
lie. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out Of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There Is comfort in the knowledge 80
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, BLADDER and every part Of
the urinay passage It corrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in passing

wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled to
get up many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swam-Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. If you need

A Lesson In Fruit Packing.

Let me urge upon your readers the
practice Of wrapping apples and pears,
when picked separately, in paper and
packed in boxes and barrels and put
away in q cool, airy place. Put up
thus they will keep two to three months
longer and retain their flavor much
better. Such sorts as King, that keep
till about this time, when put in paper,
will keep till spring, and fall apples
till this time or later. Fall pears can
be kept thus till January and February.
Apples in bins now, by being thus
wrapped and packed, will keep till
May and June. Try it.-A. NJ. Purdy.

Catarrh Can Be Cured

By eradicating from the blood the
scrofulous taints which cause it.
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures catarrh,
promptly and permanently, because it
strikes at the root of the trouble.
The rich, pure blood which 1t makes,
circulating through the delicate pas
sages of.the mucous membrane, soothes
and rebuilds the tissues, giving them q
tendency to health instead of disease,
and ultimately curing the affection.
At the same time Hoods Sarsapar-
lila strengthens, invigorates and ener-
gizes the whole system and makes the
debilitated victim of catarrh feel that
new life has been impaired.
Do not daily with snuffs, inhalants
or other local applications, but take
Hoods Sarsaparilla and cure catarrh
absolutely and surely by removing thaI
causes which produce it.
