As a Place for immigration.

IF Horace Greeley were alive he would
not advise any young man to go west
to the Philippines, or south to Cuba
or Porto Rico-that is. unless the
young man had a few thousand dollars
capital. Labor is plentiful and CHEAP,
dirt cheap, i'm all these places. Industry
there will count for very little unless
it is associated with capital and brains.
But a young man having all three
qualifications should be able to achieve
quicker and more marked success in
one Of these islands than in any other
place in the world except Montana.
Porto Rico particularly offers strong
Inducements to Americans with health,
enterprise and a few thousand dollars
to their credit. The island has a popu-
lation Of 221 inhabitants to the square
mile. Some Yankees will go down there
and make a successful study of the
needs, ambitions and f~railties Of this
comparatively dense population. In
other words they will work the Porto
Ricans and be rich men within ten
years. The islanders know next to
nothing about the comforts and lux
uries of life, but they are anxious to
learn. They car produce fruits, vege-
tables. tobacco and sugar in abundance
and with the American markets open
to them they will have plenty Of money
to spend. DIR. Sen of Chicago, who has

In a lesser degree Cuba offers induce
ments to men Of large sagacity and
capital. on the average the
Cubans are not so intelligent, not so
progressive as the Porto Rfcans-they
are not so ripe for civilization with all
It's fashions. frills and follies. Yet the

Surgery to Save snakes.

WITH THE HEAD TO THE NORTH.
Scientific Reasons for Regarding That as
the Proper Sleeping Attitude.

From the Boston Transcript.
The superstition hat human beings
should sleep with their heads to the
north is believed by the French to have
for its foundation a scientific fact. They
affirm that each human system is in
itself an electric battery. the head be-
ing one Of the electrodes and the feet
the other. Their proof was discovered
from experiments which the Academy
of Sciences was allowed to maxi on the
body Of a man who was guillotined.
This was taken the instant it fell and
placed on a pivot free to move as il
might. The head part. after a little va
cillation, turned to the north, and the
body then remained stationary. 1t was
urned half way round by one of the
professors, and again the head end of
the trunk moved slowly to the cardinal
point due north, the same results beins
repeated until the final arrestation of
organic movement.

manner of selecting the nominees. One
faction wanted to appoint a committee
to choose the names. while another
wanted the selections made by the en-

prevailed. There were about 80 nomi-

this is what delayed the work. Tom

Our Trade With China is IS Per Cent
of the Total

Washington. Oct. 11-SpeciaI reports
from United States Consul Johnson at
Amoa and Consul Fowler at Chez Foo
show an enormous increase of foreign
trade of China and point out the great
value of that part of it originating in
the United States. Last year the vol
ume of trade exceeded that for 1896 bv
32,000O00 taels, a tael being reckoned at
73.9 cents. The value of the United
States trade in China represented Is
per cent of the total being more than
double the whole German trade and
second only to Great Britain. As Con-
sui Fowler puts it: 1.-The value of Uni
ted States exports to China is greater
than that of all continental Europe and
the Russians, European and Asiatic''
His figures show that last year this
excess amounted to 1920, ,2S1. But these
figures. he says. are entirely too small.
for, owing to the Chinese method of
keeping treasury statistics a large pro-
portion Of the goods coming from the
United States are entered as from 9th
er countries. Consul Johnson says ker-
osene no longer holds first place in the
exports from the United States to Chi
ma Cotton goods is the most valua bic
line of trade and 40 per cent of the ex-
ports of the cotton from the United
States went to China last year, the val
ue being over seven million dollars.
