Totals 80. .... 81 SOC, 761 442 $1,756. O5S,e45
There is an increase of SS4, 541, 56S gold, due

decrease of S1,5S9. Thus, in the various
classes OF domestic money reckoned together,
there is a net increase of SIG, 161. 229. an aug
mentation accounted for by the greenbachs
withdrawn from the treasury in exchange for

CHINA's FOREIGN TRADE.

It may surprise some to learn that the for
eign trade of China has increased nearly
three-fold in thirty years, but we fancy most
people will be astonished on hearing that
the foreign trade Of Japan now nearly equals
that of its huge neighbor, having amounted
to $685., 500, 600 in 1897 against $445, 900, coo
for China in 1896. Indeed, Japan's progress in
trade has been almost rapid as her rise
in Importance as a power. Between 1850 and
1884 Japan's total foreign trade was between
SCI, 100000 and SGT 600 600, in 1883 it amounted
to $131, 600 0GO in 1896 to $3.50, SOC, 000 and In
1897, as stated, to 1882 900 900, so that it may
be said to have trebled in less than ten
years, and to be at least six times what
it was fifteen years ago. The trade, too, is
getting more and more into the hands Of
Japanese merchants, while the country is do,
ing much more manufacturing and importing
fewer manufactured articles than 1t was a
few years ago. Native merchants now do 80
per cent of the total trade, as compared with
IS per cent in 1883, and last year the imports
of machinery and raw materials show an
increase of S21, 750, 900 over the previous year.
The revenue derived by China from foreign
trade is 619 per cent Of the total and by
Japan less than PA per cent.-London Daily

MAGUIRE ON POKER.
The Veteran Actor Manager Gives Warn
ing Against Pat Fulls.

Death stalks alongside a poker game

When / was m~onologuing through the
mining camps l struc n Of the hot
test in New Mexico. ! dropped into "A
saloon one afternoon, and saw four
Of the most noted desperadoes of the
day playing draw poker. | knew W
of the men personally. one OF them
was a cool. quiet fellow. who talked lit
tie. known all over as one of the quick
est men on the trigger. and who acted
quickly In n crisis. The other was as
cool and nervy as himself.
After awhile IL happened that there
vas a big Jack pot ! was watching
the game closely. though l knew that
the countenances OF both men would
be non-committal. n that there might
be some heavy blufiing.
Suddenly / noticed, TO my intense
establishment. that the ace of the bet
ter known OF the two was growing pale.
An opponent was dealing. and as he
slowly took up each card the color
kept on leaving his countenance. |
couldn't understand IL. as there was no
disturbance about. no loud talk at the
bar. nor had anybody entered.
He had four cards I'm his hand. n
his face was ashen. He reached for the
fifth and last card. turned IL over, n
simultaneously reached for his pistol.
His opponent had been watching him
with the keenest attention, n in a
flash had his u out and was shooting
across the table!
AT the second shot the quiet man
fell across the table. and his lifeblood
stained the pack OF cards. We raised
him up and found that he was dead.
We carried him out, n as we lifted
hin his hand was exposed.
He had drawn a Jack full on red
sevens!
This was what had mad his face
change and caused him TO reach for his
gun.
There r. n superstition among gam
blers In the West that he who sits in n
game and draws at n pat hand n Jack
full on red sevens will never live to
play the hand.
This desperate had drawn this
hand. He believed the superstition.
He had realized that a crisis was at
hand and had reached for his gun.
His opponent had been too quick for
him and had shot him dead.
This shooting clinched the belief In
the superstition: Beware OF n jack
full on red ~sevens.'"
