Economics

Frantz Poesing could not understand
why he should not be allowed to leave
the barge Office. His card bore the in
scription, mot money enough" but he
thought he had something as good as
money besides the cash he had shown.
He was a healthy young German, his
accent fresh from Unter den Linden,
his suit and his boots spick and span,
his manner full of dignity and method.
"They say have not money enough, F"
he argued, "but / have brand new
suit in my trunk, for which / paid Ga
marks. and ! have not worn it more
than four or five times. You wish to
see it? Well, anyhow, it is worth at

AN ELEPHANTS CUNNING,
He Knew How to Turn the Tables Upon
His Tormentor.


This is good story of an elephants
intelligence. The animal in question
was a mere baby when he was sent by
an Indian prince to England as a pres
ent for Queen Victoria.
He was shipped as a deck passenger
by one of the Indian mail steamers from
Bombay, and as he had but attained
the height of a well grown calf and was
always most docile and tractable he was
permitted TO have the run of the decks
for an hour or two every morning when
the state of the weather permitted. By
the sailors he was dubbed the "bOs'n' g
mate, " owing TO the penchant he had
for carefully picking up every loose coil
of rope that he could find and then
throwing it over the side, being, as
Jack said, ''as bad as a naval lieutenant
for keeping the decks tidy
Among other acquaintance that he
formed was that of the ships baker,
whose address he soon discovered to be
the place of origin of all the sweet dain-
ties with which he was petted. Here he
took to making a regular morning call
for something sweet for tiffin and was
generally regaled with stale tart or
piece Of cake, but upon calling one
morning and extending his trunk, as
usual, he found that his visit was un-
welcome, as something had occurred to
irritate the baker, and instead of the
cake he received a blow ON his trunk
with the rolling pin.
The blow was not severe, but the
"bOs'n" turned tail and went trumpet
ing up the deck, where he took post
that would enable him to watch for his
assailant Before long he saw the baker
leave his "shop," and mischief being
his object rather than malice he prompt
ly marched down, and with several Wig
OrOus sweeps of his trunk he swept all
the shelves in the bakery clear, until
loaves, tarts, cakes, patty pans ard cake
tins lay in confusion on the deck. This
achieved, he bolted like any schoolboy
and was locked up in disgrace, but up
ON the circumstances being known the
popular verdict was in his favor, and he
was allowed his liberty as before.
"BOs'n" marched down instanter to
the baker, and never failed from that day
to exact tribute, which was regularly
paid, and from that time he and his op-
ponent became fast friends s-Golden

MONEY AND MUSIC.
why We Have More Women vocaIists
Than Men.

In preparing list of American con-
cert singers it was curious to note that
the number of tenors just exactly equal
ed the combined number of baritones
and basses. It is probably true that
there are just about two cultivated ten
ors to each baritone or bass. There are
similarly about twice as many sopranos
as there are mezzo sopranos or contral-
tos and there are probably two trained
sopranos to every tenor.
The reasons for these ratios are prob
ably these: A higher voice, being the
more unusual, attracts to it's owner the
more attention. The natural tenor and
soprano are accordingly encouraged to
cultivate what may, after all, be only
a mediocre ability. The meZzO soprano
or baritone, however, is thought of as
only an ordinary mortal, and voice of
the utmost possibilities may be left to
waste It's fragrance in the dark, unfath-
omed caves of its owners thOrax
A village church is the epitome of
the world In this respect. The women
"sing alto" or keep quiet, or strain and
squeal at the top notes; the men drOne
out bagpipish bass The good voices
are lost in the lugubrious average, but
IL there is girl who takes the high
notes fiutily or a boy who can interpo-
late the tenor part without danger of
scarlet fever these voices sing out above
the grounding chorus. Every one pricks
ear to listen, and the word is passed
that Sukey Smith or Jakey Jones "has
a voice" 1t may be that that voice
ought to be cultivated, it may be that it
ought to be cOnfscated, but to the teach
er it must go. The steps from this first
discovery to a career Of public veal or
woe are easy.
So much for the disproportion of high
and low professional singing. The fact
that more women than men study song
Is doubtless TO be accounted for by the
superstition that flourishes in many dis
tricts that selling dry goods or keeping
books is a more manly career than sing
ing. This public creed keeps many a
man from developing the gold mine in
his larynx. Besides, there is, especially
In America, a sentiment that man
should not depend ON his father after
he has reached his majority.
1t is a wholesome sentiment on some
accounts, a pernicious sentiment ON 9TH
ers, but many father will set his son
up In business with sum Of money
which if devoted to paying his artistic
tuition few years on in his twenties
might give him capital of unlimited
possibilities. Magazine.

FOOLED THE PREMIER.
An Experiment Which Made Matters
Worse Than They Had Been.

Worse Than They Had Been.
A story, the truth of which is vouch-
ed for in high quarters, is told concern
ing the manners" of the political mem
bers of small country renowned for its
ancient courage The prime minister
gave reception to meet some distin-
guished Englishmen. The assemblage
consisted solely of the strangers, the
members of the parliament and the
prime minister. During the course of
the evening one of the more distinguish
ed of the English guests discovered that
his watch had been taken. He went to
his host and informed him of his loss,
adding that he especially priced the
watch, rs it was a present to him from
the king of the country whose guest he
had the honor to be at that moment.
The prime minister saw at once that
there was only one thing to be done,
and, asking for silence, explained the
situation TO the company He said that
no doubt some one had yielded to the
temptation of the moment, but that
when they learned that the missing ar

prompt them TO restore it TO its owner.
In order that the culprit's honor might
be preserved and the country saved from
a scandal, he said, the lights would be
lowered for five minutes and the guests
would defile past the writing table,
which would give an opportunity for
the delinquent to place the watch there.
Upon this the room was darkened for
the stipulated time. On the lights being
turned up it was found that the watch
had not been placed on the writing ia
bic, but that valuable silver inkstand,
also a gift Of the king to his prime min
lister, was missing as well-London

ETYMOLOGY OF "HURRAH." +"
Mr.. SpratIey Says That We Get 1t From
Ancient Egypt,


W. J. Spratley, to use his plain Eng
lish name, has favored us with a copy
of letter he has addressed to The In
stitute and Lecturers Gazette On the
etymOlOgy of the word "Hurrah 7"
which Mr.. Spratley spells "Hoorah -
We have been vaguely cherishing the
idea that it had Russian origin, but
Mr.. Spratley takes us TO ancient Egypt
in his genealogical search. He thinks
"there can be no doubt that the Egyptian
soldiers went into battle TO the inspirit-
ing cheer of 'HOORa HOORa HOORa = F"
and if the average questioning man asks
why, he staggers him with this: BE
cause HOORa Gin the tongue of the
Thothmes and Rameses) means The
king, the king, the kingp Yea, more. AS
'Ra' means not only king, but also God
and man, the concentrated meaning of
the cry would be, For God, king and
countryp What more loyal, what more
patriotic, what more devout?" What,
indeed!
But lest we should haply still doubt,
Mr.. Spratley clinches the matter by cit
ing, III confederation, the fact that his
name, in Egyptian roots, is Sa-pa-Ra-
ta-y, or Sa-pa-Hoo-Ra-ta-y, which
means "Son of heaven, king of the
two hemispheres, " and if the authority
of a gentleman of this descent is not
good enough for the mere dOubter, even
Mr.. Sa-pa, etc, may well despair of
convincing him. More than this, if Mr..
Spratley's Egyptian name means any
thing-and this is an open questiOn-it
also signifies king of lower Egypt and
king of upper Egypt" or Emperor
of the World" But what we chiefly
like it for is that it seems to settle an
other point that may well have batfied
the philOlogist-namely, the genesis of
the once familiar refrain ''Ta-ra-ra-
boom-de-ay" Is it possible that Miss
Lottie Collins and the street urchin
have been singing ancient Egyptian, as
Mr.. Jourdain spoke prose, without
knowing it?-Londop Chronicle.

Tie last official report of our
Consul at Manila, Mr. Oscar F.
Williams, contains some additional
information in regard to the COM
mercial resources of the Philip
pines, which may be of interest to
our readers in this connection
For the quarter ending Dec. 81,
1897, the exports of hemp to Great
Britian and the United States
from the Philippines aggregated
2I6,S99 bales, OF which amount
l28,7 1913 bales went to Great Brit
ian ard 78, JOG bales 20 the United
States.
During the ten years ending
from December 31st, 1887, to Dec
ember 31st, 1898, the total exports
of hemp from the Philippines ag-
gregated 6,529,967 bales, or 914,-
O55 tons. OF other exports credit
ed 10 the Philippines during this
same period must be included
1,5S2,.OE tons or sugar, OF winch
amount 875, $50 tons went to the
United States. 666.391 tons to
Great Britain and 1882 tons to
continental Europe.
Without giving any more figures
the commercial exports from the
Philippines include cigars, tobacco,
hides, shells. coffee, indigo, woods
and other products.
These figures convey some idea
of the prodigious wealth of the
Philippines. In point of natural
fertility, the Islands are even
richer than Cuba or Porto Rico.
There is no telling what they are
worth.
