OUR ORIENTAL TRADE.

Its Rapid Growth illustrated by Treasury
bureau stntistics.
WASHINGTON, Oct. THE steady
and rapid growth Of our commerce
with the Orient is illustrated by a
statement just received by the treasury
bureau OF statistics showing the i'm.
ports and exports Of Japan during the
first half of the present calendar year.
Tbs shows that Japan's purchases
from the United States continue to in.
crease with great r~apidity, while in
many cases those which she has been
accustomed to make from other parts
OF the world are being reduced. Her
importations of raw cotton from the
United States in the first six months of
1898 were IL, 732, 0S4 yen in value.
against 1911, S2S yen in the correspond.
ing months Of the preceding year. The
total importation Of cotton into japan
in the half year amounted to 27,072, 1888
yen in value, an increase Of a little
over 1000, 600 yen over the correspond.
ing months Of 1897, while the increase
from the United States alone was
nearly 5000, 600 yen, showing o gen.
eral reduction from other parts Of the
world, while the imports from the
United States were more than trebled.
Our manufacturers of iron and steel
seem to be specially satisfactory to the
japanese, the increase in nearly all ar.
ticles Of this class being strongly
marked.
The finer grades of American manu-.
facture also seem to be finding special
favor among the japanese, imports OF
American watches having increased
from 95,5ll yen In the first hat Of las,
year to l65, go yen in the first half OF
the present year, while u own rec
ords Of expectation show an increase III
exports Of writers, sewing ma
chimes and other articles of TINS c4ass
to Japan in the fiscal year inst ended,
as com pared with those Of III, preced'
ing year
To China our sales also show q graft
flying increase in many articles.
The total exports from the United
States to China, III the month Of Au'
gust, 1895. were Sl,432.2 Il, agains

Pagodas as Sin OrerIrgs.

Just as brewers and other evil men
in England conciliate heaven by erect
ing churches SO the bold, bad, bloody
handed Burman makes it all right for
the next existence by erecting pagodas.
In proportion to the height of the pa
CODA his heap of sin disappears. And as
the Burman, like the rest of u.s. looks
after his own wants rather than those
of his ancestors, he builds pagoda all
to himself, and allows his grandfather
to topple over. An uncle of the deposed
king must have been round shout dered
with the weight of his wrongdoings.
Anyway, at the foot of Mandalay
hill-a nice, breezy eminence, admi-
rable to give you an appetite and pain
in the back-he built 729 pagodas,
though the guides count wrong and
say there are only 400. But perhaps
they mention the smaller number out
of regard for their monarch's uncle, not
wishing to expose the real magnitude
of his sinfulness. The pagodas are all
white and set out in rows, and under
each We're what we pronounced to be
tombstones. We were wrong, for the
inscriptions were not to the dear de-
parted, but constituted complete copy
of the law in the Pail tongue. -Travel.

Too Much For Watson.

Only once did Watson, when a captain,
never fail TO punish man for intoxica-
ton. This was in the summer of 1898
at Boston, when the San Francisco
took the Massachusetts naval militia on
its first practice cruise. Among the
regular crew was old Alexander Parker,
sailmaker's mate, who was never known
to remain sober when there was liquor
to be had When the naval militiamen
came on board a witty boatswain' S
mate, while no officer was near, sang
out in an authoritative tone:
"All you men having whisky on
board lay below and turn it in to the
sailmaker's mate for safe keeping
Many amateur sailors took the bait,
and in a few minutes old Aleek, sit
ting down below decks in his sailroom,
was surprised to have vast collection
of TASKS passed to him. He received all
these as gifts with many thanks. He
was found day after sound asleep in
his sailroom, literally covered with
empty bottles of every size and shape.
He was finally taken before the captain,
to whom was told the circumstances.
Parker, said he sternly, Il have no
words with which to discuss your case.

Asked For a Shirt and Got wife.

During the civil war there was a GER
tain young lady in Georgetown who
found it in her power to do great deal
for the Confederate soldiers confined
in prison at Washington. Young, beau
tiful, cultured, popular, of a wealthy
and prominent family, she was fire.
quently allowed admission to the pris-
on, whittier she always took her maid
with a well stocked basket of good
things for the poor boys behind the bars
One day as she was passing through a
group of men in the common prison she
stopped and said to them
IF there is anything you would like
to have that can bring you, won't you
let me know? | shall be very glad.
One man stepped forward promptly.
Bowling most courteously, he said:
"If you will be so kind, | should like
very much to have a clean shirt. "
He was a young lieutenant from
Louisiana, one of the handsomest and
most elegant men ever met, and when
that young lady looked up into his
brown eyes she found it in her heart to
give him much more than clean shirt,
for she married him as soon as the war
was over. -Philadelphi Times.

Amazing Cleyerne.s Of birds.

Their is something very remarkable
in the almost reasoning powers mani
tested occasionally by birds in eluding
pursuit or in tuning attention from
their nests and young. but in few il
this more noticeable than in the duck
tribes. In Captain Blacks narrative of
his arctic land expedition the following
instance of this is given:
One of his companions, Mr.. King,
having shot female duck, fired again
and, as he thought, disabled its male
companion. Accordingly, leaving the
dead bird, which he had the mortifica-
ton of seeing shortly afterward carried
off by one of the white headed eagles,
he waded into the water after the drake,
which, far from being fluttered or
alarmed, remained motionless, as if
waiting to be taken mp. Still, as he
neared it, it glided easily away through
innumerable little hooks and windings
Several times he reached out his hand
to seize it, and, having at last with
great patience managed to coop it up
in a corner, from which there appeared
to be no escape, he was tIiumphantly
bending down to take it when, to his
utter astonishment, it looked around at
him, cried "Quackp' and then few
away SO strongly that he was convinced
he had never hit it at all. The bird g
object clearly was to draw the gunner
away from it's companion.

Gladstone and Moses.

boat did not go round to Whiting bay.
Sitting opposite me were two men who
appeared to belong to the Paisley weav-
er class. and true to the traditions of
that class they were busily discussing
politics Presently one of them said,
with much emphasis, There hasna been

The chief finger nail chewers Of the
world are the French, and it was re-
Gently stated upon reliable authority
that nearly two-thirds of French school
children are addicted to the habit.
Even for grown people there is hard
ly any habit, aside from the confirmed
abuse of narcotics, more difficult to
overcome than the habit of biting the
finger nails. 1t requires a strong mental
effort and constant vigilance to do this,
for once person has become thorough
ly addicted to the habit he does it un-
consciously, and is only reminded that
he is marring himself when he gets one
of his nails gnawed down to the quick.
All manner of remedies have been ad-
vanced for the cure of the finger nail
biting habit, including the placing of
injurious and bitter compositions on the
ends of the fingers, but none of the rem
edies amounts To much.
The only way to stop biting the fin
ger nails is to stop. The Americans are
next to the French in the finger nail
biting habit, probably because the
Americans, as whole, are an exceed
ingly nervous people. A man who &C.
complishes his determination to knock
off biting his finger nails may, by in
cessant manicuring, get them to look
fairly we'll within year or so, but fin
ger nail biting if long persisted in,
ruins the shape of the ends of the fin
gers, and the nails can never be brought
to look as well as those of the persons
who permit their nails to grow as they

Foxy Ways of the Japs.

The first ten days that one spends
in Japan impress him with the idea
that the people there are the best to be

one. They cannot be trusted to keep a
contract that is not favorable to them.

When Wellington Was Mad.

The Gar Nicholas visit to Windsor
in 1914 afforded Murray an opportunity
to be present at one of the few occasions
when the Duke of Wellington lost con-
troll of himself. He did it at review
before the queen, her imperial guest,
and the royal family, when, contrary to
his orders, issued for the queens con-
venience, the guns were fired. The hero
of hundred fights stormed in "a most
violent manner
When the prince tried to pacify him
by saying il was doubtless mistake,
he replied: at is very good of your
royal highness to excuse it, but there
should be no mistakes. Military orders
should be punctually obeyed, and SO
long as command the army they shall
be obeyedl" The emperor was astonish-
ed, and the suits looked at each other
with blank faces, while the artillery
was ordered off the maneuvering ground.

The cardinal on one occasion arrived
in full merriment, though informing
his friends that he had been all but run
over, and he added: eff the accident
had been more effectual, my epitaph
must have been:
"Sad was his fate, it happened thus,
He was run over by bus. "

An exquisite gem 10 the opal. Its
beautiful creamy surface lit with red,
blue and yellow rays scintillating in the
light and giving it a place in the front

the opal has bad name, and we know
the proverb about the dog with the un-

this beautiful stone with bringing mis-
fortune 60 it's owner, and superstition
will win it's way SO long as the world
lasts. The opal is peculiarly brittle and
sometimes crumbles away without any
apparent cause therefore it has been
branded "unlucky." But let those
