From Casters Magazine.
The Liverpool docks, justly accounted
one Of the wonders Of modern commerce.
extend along the Mersey distance of six
and half miles. They afford a spectacle
unrivaled in the world, and leave upon
the visitor a lasting impression of what the
commercial and maritime supremacy of
Great Britain really means. Nowhere else
can there be found crowded together a
succession Of sights Of such varied interest
and activity. The great ports, London,
New York, Hamburg and Antwerp, possess,
each in It's way, the fascination which
attaches to scenes Of concentrated activity
and the picturesque attractfveness Of
crowded waterways and masses Of ship
ping, but the great port Of the English
manufacturing north and midlands stands
In many respects absolutely without COM
peer, not merely because Of its noble river
whose tidal movement Is four times the
outfall OF the Mississippi. but because its
dock system Is, in point Of extent and Inn
portance, indisputably the first in the
world. This arises, to great extent, from
the character Of the Liverpool trade.
Measured by the values Of exports and
imports, the trade Of Liverpool and that OF
judged by bulk. the merchandise dealt with

in value than that dealt with at Black

Pecan Nut Industry.
From the Boston Transcript.


Perhaps the best Of all nuts is that spe-
cies Of hickory known as the pecan 1t is
native to the United States, growing wild
in the Mississippi valley and In Texas. The
largest and finest nuts come from Louisi-
ana, some specimens attaining length of
two inches and a diameter of three-auar-
ters Of an inch. Comparatively few from
that state reach the north. however. In
Bee county, Texas. pecans are grown with
very thin shells. that may be crushed in
the fingers.
In Texas the pecan industry has obtained
great importance. Thousands Of people
white and black, make a living by gather
ing the wild nuts, while many plantations
of the trees have been set out and are al
ready In bearing. So long ago as 1880
100000 pounds of the nuts were marketed
in San Antonio. OF all the hickory family.
the pecan seems more susceptible Of Inn
provement in the size and quality of the
fruit, and much has been accomplished in
this direction by planters exercising judg-
ment in the collection of varieties. One
planter OF Brownwood, Texas, has 400 acres
of pecans, comprising 1000 trees.

A FRENCH PENAL SHIP.
The Floating Prison which Conveys
COnvicts to the Colonies.

From the Atlanta Journal.
The French transport ship Caledonia is
an object of much curiosity. This grim sea
prison annually conveys about 1000 souls
from the land of the living-the gay French
republlc-to an enduring death on the
Safety Islands
The Caledonia is an iron ship of 1900 tons
For the last ten years it has been in the
employ of the French government trans
porting criminals from France and Algeria
to the penal colonies on the Safety Islands,

-Four steel cages, each with a capacity of

one, capable of holding only thrty-one per-
sons, is sufficient for the female convicts
This latter cage is in the aft of the ship

a very interesting feature and one hor-
rible to contemplate is the facility with
which the steam can be used upon the con-
Vlcts should they attempt to take possess
sion OF the ship. Pipes are so arranged that
were such an attempt to be made ii would
be possible for the officers OF the vessel to
scald every prisoner to cath in less time
tnan IL would take to count them. Capt
Dano never has had such a case arise on
board his ship, but 1t often becomes neces-
sary to give them little steam to quell
discomfort. AS a rule, however the eighty
guards who are regularly detailed for SER
vice on board are sufficient to keep the
prisoners doclle.

Snip section of the vessel and then all the

CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS.
iheir indifference to Suffering and
Their Business Honesty.

Their Indifference to Suffering md
Their Business Honesty.
From the Contemporary Review
Inc Chinanan is not wantonly cruel, but
he is marvelously Indifferent to the suf-
ferings of others. The cook will cover q
rat with kerosene and set it alight. not to
enjoy its sufferings, but because he believes
its screams will scare its fellows aWay
magistrate will fan himself gently on the
execution ground on which a yelling male
factor Is being gradually cut to pieces, not
because he enjoys the spectacle, but be-
cause 1t is all part of his days work. A
crowd of spectators will watch a child
drown because it is ones special BUSH
ness TO save 1t, and because to interfere in
what does not concern you may give rise
to trouble.
From what has been already said as to
the keen interest taken by the Chinese in
money matters. 1T may be surmised that
they should be, par excellence a "nation
OF shopkeepers." And so they are To their
credit be it said that they have Thoroughly
realized that bargains are binding The
Yea merchant may endeavor in every way
eut, once the mystic words quite book
that is, enter it in writing-have been ut
tered, the latter may rely on the transac-
ton being faithfully carried through This
comparatively high standard of commercial
morality naturally results in an elaborate
system of credit, greatly to the advantage
OF both contracting parties, and, though the
squeeze, or perquisite, enlers into every
arrangement, it Is not sufficient to stop the
wheels of commerce, though undoubtedly 1t
frequently clogs them.
To go back on your word in a business
transaction, or to fail to meet your LA
bilfties, causes a Chinaman to '.lose face"
and this is to him unbearable The sacri
noes which he will make on the approach of
his new year to enable him to avoid being

as they are admirable. Nor would IT be
right t. omit all reference to the fact that
to their justice they frequently add sener-
osity. l we'll remember a case in which
an American, who had failed after years of
labor, was supported during the remainder
of his life by his "compradore," as the ma
tive employed by European firms in their
dealings with Chinese is termed.

scented Unique Spectacle.
From Hsrper's Mapozna


The student world of olden time presents
unique spectacle to the observer of the
nineteenth century. When instruction was
about to begin, curious sight was exhibit
ed. Groups of students are pressing to-
ward the university from every quarter.
Their bright dresses flash along lonely
forest ways. Now they form a part of Il
caravan of merchants making its slow way
along the valleys, or they join themselves
t1midly to the rctinue of some knight for
protection; or .hey Heat down the dull
sluggish German streams in the trafflckin,r
BOATS. They stop for day in the great
cities through which they pass in order To
feast their eyes upon the sights of a new
world; they appear for a time amid the
crowds at the yearly fairs. where they tell
fortunes, or predict eclpses, or sell charms
ana false relics, or unfold the mysteries of
the piack art, to earn an honest penny to
neip them on their way. Tonight they
sleep IN a castle court, and enjoy the hos
pitaiity given to strangers; tomorrow a
friendly monastery gives them shelter and
the wayfarer's food. They chaff the honest
country people. and make love to the
maldenS with their gay manner and songs
Ihey seem like the reckless. careless trou-
badours with their jests and merryma king

poor students, who hope by a drink from
the mysterious fountain of knowledge to
improve their prospects in life have no
baggage. The others carry a pack con-

THE RUSSIAN SOLDIER IN ASIA.
He Is n Serious Problem for the Eng
lish to Solve.

From the National Review.
l have had the opportunity of seeing n
great deal of the Russian army of central
Asia. and the more l have seen of it the
less pleased have been at the prospect of
cur Indian army having to encounter 1t. 1
have never feared the issue because / am
sure that at the last We shall pull ourselves
together. and with a mighty effort repel
the Russians. But the cost, the labor and
the strain will probably be terrible and the
nearer they approach to us the more diff
cult will become the task. once held the
Russians in supreme contempt. and like
many EnSlishmen, believed that we could
make short work of them or of any other
Zoe. But the conviction has since slowly
and steadily been impressed on my mind
tnat the Russian army is, for fighting pur-
poses, III every respect equal to ours, and
in some respects would have an immense
advantage over us in the field. The men
are all or one race. are stronger, more
hardy, and healthier than ours: there are
no native followers; they require less trans
port and supplies, and fewer Injuries have
an neAhaustible reserve, are nearer home

arate occasions have seen the Russian SOL

with him for weeks together in trains and

A "PR0UD" SPANIARD,
4 Former Captain General Of Cuba
% Not Over ScrupuIOus.

From the Argonaut.
AS the question of Spanish good faith is
prominent in the press these days, this
pertinent anecdote of the civil war will be
timely. 1t is told III Bulocks Secret
Service of the Confederate States" Cap
tain Bullock tells of the exciting incidents
concerning the freeing of the rebel ram
Stonewall from the international compli-
cations attendant on her release from the
French shipyard where she was built; how
she was watched by the agents Of the fed
eral government; how she was followed to
Denmark whittier she went under the
Danish flag; how she was again followed to
Ferrol, Spain, by the United States ships
Niagara and Sacramento; how she eluded
them there and sailed for the coast of the
United States with the evident intent of
which she was more than a match being
then the most formidable iron-clad afioat
But when the Stonewall. under COM
mand of Captain Page, reached Havana
in May, 1865, Page learned of the surren-
der of General Lee, and soon after of the
capture of Jefferson Davis. Pages funds
We're exhausted. The confederacy had COL
!apsed. The position was perplexing Can
tain Page opened negotiations with the
Spanish authorities at Havana for the sur
render of the ship to them, if they would
advance the money to pay off the crew.
Captain Page sent Lieutenant Carter TO
ments. Carter reported that after five
minutes conversation the captain general
asked him what sum was required. Car
ter replied, $4,000. The captain genera,
said, You had better make it 100000"
Carter replied that his orders were to ask
Si6,o0o. The captain general then turned
to an official and bade him write docu-
ment, and then,turning again to Carter,
said: Shall We not make it $5OO0O?" But
Garter obeyed orders and accepted only
$4,000.
1t Is quite evident that this high official
the captain general of Cuba, was attempt
ifg to get the confederate naval officer 10
ask ior $iooGoo to pay off his crew. when
he needed only $4,000. the difference TO he
divided between them. When the confed-
crate officer obstinately refused to accent
ei.nei sio.ooo or $4,000 but only the exact
sum needed, it is evident that the cantain
general concluded that the American was
FOOL and charged up 800, 900 to the Span
lsh government and put $4,000 in his peck
financial honor. Np''-'''''
