In the Philippines there has been

est on record for the past 20 years. At

exports of these islands. The Philip

S150,000. or one-half of one per cent. is

yet we have developed to a point where
we can not only compete in trade with

Americans have now an opportunity to
change these unequal conditions.

eager, her lips parted. Several anxious

there were two; that Mrs. Pomeroy~ had
no children, and that her husband was
as good hearted as she was. and well
off, toO-and that poor Lisl1um had no

''Oh. Mrs. Pomeroy." Harriet whis-

''Liskum,' said Mrs. Pomeroy, and
the tremble in her voice was replaced
by a note of firTnness and decision

he said it loudly and heartily And
Harriet, looking into his face, knew by
its softened expression that his injus-
tice to Liskum would serve, whether
reasonably or no, as a means of dis
culpation for Eugene. She knew that
Eugene would be forgiven for riding
Humbert.
Harriet and Eugene went home, with
the profoundest regret, a month later.

jolliest-because of Liskum. And when
they had got home, what gave them
both deepest pleasure, was their fire.

both fairly squealed with pleasure 1t

In the westward course of empire,
the Pacific ocean remains the last to
be conquered. Stretching for 1900
miles along the equator, il covers near
~ one-haf of the entire globe Some
idea of its size may be gathered from
the fact that from San Francisco to
Yokohama the distance is 4500 miles,
and 1000 miles must be added to reach
the Philippines, and 1900 more to reach
Singapore, the extreme southern limit
of the Asiatic coast. From San Fran
cisco to Honolulu is 200 miles, and
from Honolulu to Sydney, Australia,
$500 miles more.
This vast ocean, connecting the new
est and the Oldest civilization, is the
coming field in the struggle for trade
supremacy. On its western borders are
Asia and Australia with their islands.
The continent of Asia and it's islands
have a population of not less than
40,000,000 with an area of IA, 700, 900
square miles. The largest of these coun-
tries is China, with 403, 900, 900 popula-
ton, and over 100000 square miles.
Then comes British India, with $751;
900, 900 people. and 1900, 900 square miles
of territory. Asiatic Russia has o.
000.0 people in 6,5OOOOO square miles.
Japan has 100000 population crowded
into less than 10000 square miles of
area. The Dutch East Indies have 34,-
1000 people, and the French East In
dies 90, 00o, 000
Another tributary to the Pacific on
the west is Oceanica, which, with Aus
tralia and the neighboring islands, has
a population of 100000 people in an
area of 100000 square miles. With
ton aggregates S50,0O0.000 in an area
of 100000 square miles.
The trade of these countries of the
Pacific is enormous. The latest figures
show that the aggregate imports are
81, O67, 100000, and the aggregate ex-
ports, $1,000. 000, 900, making a total for
eign commerce in this territory of ST.
127, 600, 900.
So much for the "old world" side of
the ocean. On the new world side are
the two continents of North and South
America, all the countries of which are
contributing, more or less, to this Ash
attic trade. First in Importance stand
the United States, with 100000 pop
ulation, and an area, including Alaska,
of 3.500,0O0 square miles. Mexico has
767, 900 square miles, and 10000, 900 peo-
pie, and Canada, $500, 900 square miles
and 100000 inhabitants. In Central
America there is an area of 1874. 900
square miles and $500, 900 people. This
makes total for North America of

TRADE ROUTES OF THE PACIFIC.

nearly $4,000. 600 people and an area OF
7,S00,0 600 square miles. In South Amer
lea are 80, 600, 600 more people in a ter
ritory of 100000 square miles. The
two Americas have 100000 square
miles of area and 100000 people.
With the exception of that from the
United States, only a very small part
of the trade of America goes to the
Pacific. The imports of this country to
Asia and Oceanica, according to the
latest figures, were $119,000 co., and the
exports S67,0O0,00O, making a total of
$1S6, 600, 900. Include the entire trade of
the western continent in the Pacific,
and total imports reach $26l, 600 900, and
the total exports $212, 900, 900. Added to
the trade of the older countries, the en-
tire commerce of the Pacific is not less
than $500, 100000 each year, which
means that 81 in every 81 of the worlds
trade now passes over those waters.
OF this enormous traffic Great Britain
secures the lions share, importing
$265. 100000. and sending out goods TO
the value of $685. 600 900, or a total trade
of 100000, 600. The United States
stands next, with a total trade in the
Pacific of S20O.000.0O0, or one-third of
that of Great Britain. Germany stands
a close third with $100,000.000 of i'm
ports and $45, 900, 900 of exports. France
is fourth on the list with about one
half the trade of Germany The great
er part of the remaining trade is di
vided among the eastern countries
which border on the Pacific.
Important as is the trade of the
United States on the Pacific, the
country is far from living up to its
opportunities. Take for example the
trade with Asia and it's neighboring
islands. Last year our imports from
no n
ports to these countries aggregated
s44. 500, 600, making a total trade of
s137 900, 900. This is apparently good
showing, but so far as our imports are
concerned there is a gain of only 49,
600, 900 over 1885, previously the best
year of our record. For the past seven
years our import trade has averaged
$50. O00, 000 and during the past % years
it has rarely dropped below $5O,000,O00.
The relation can best be seen in COM
parison of the imports from Asia with
imports from other countries. Last year
the percentage from Asia was 10; in
1896 and 1897 the percentage was 111s;
but even in 1876 Asiatic goods formed
10 per cent of all our imports, and this
held as an average for the following
six years. The highest percentage in
the history of this country, aside from
that of 1897, was in 1926, over 20 years
ago, when nearly IA per cent of our en-
tire imports came from Asia In the
export trade the United States has
made no greater improvement. Last
year the exports to Asia amounted to
s44 800, 0O0, but this was only 31s per
cent of our entire exports.
What is true of Asia as a whole. is
largely true of individual nations. Our
largest trade with any one Pacific
country is with Japan, which last year
aggregated $4,000 900 in exports and
imports. This is the largest total trade
with Japan in our history. although
our imports from that country aggre-
gated more in 1893. being S27. 100000 in

Interesting Experience of an Indian

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their nerves
are to blame, are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicines and
spring remedies; the real seat of mis-
chief is lost sight of; the stomach is the
origin to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have,
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so
much as in nearly every other organ;
in some cases the heart palpitates and
is irregular; in others, the kidneys are
affected; in others the bowels are con-
stipated with headaches; still others
are troubled with loss of flesh and APP

sour risings and heartburn
