Mackintoshes, which with autumnal
rains become necessities, may be mend
ed when torn in the following manner:
Dissolve some pieces of pure india rub
ber in naphtha to create stiff paste;
choose piece of stuff as much like the
waterproof material as possible, and
apply some of the cement to it and to
the torn edges of the macintosh. Then
bring the torn parts over the new ma
terial to form patch and place a
weight over the part until the cement
is quite set and firm.

BORN ON THE OCEAN.
Months of It's Life in "Thc
Cradle of the Deep"

"Shes born traveller" remarked the
captain of the British bark Star of the
East, as his wife held up a small bit Of
pink and white humanity. Then the
captain added:
Couldn't help herself. She was born
1900 miles off the Cape of Good Hope,
and the old hulk's pounded over 10000
miles in the eight months since"
This much-traveled infant is known
as Star Cameron Rogers-the first be-
ing for the bark, the second being in
honor of the owners, r. w. Cameron &
Co., and the last being the patronymie
of the captain himself.
Apparently the cradle of the deep,
taken literally-it's the only one Baby
Star has had-deserves the attention of
mothers, for this infant is as bright
and blooming as any woman would
care to see. The only woman besides
the mother on ship board when the in
FAINT made her advent was trained
nurse who, in antici patton of the event,
made the trip of 10000 miles from this
port TO New Zealand and return.
The bark arrived at New York the
other day from Auckland, 121 days out,
with cargo of gum and fax.
Capt. Rogers halls from Yarmouth,
Nova Scotia. Mrs. Rogers, who is pref
ty and "a, is the daughter of New Zea-
land pilot.

NEW TREATY WITH FRANCE
Reciprocity Treaty of Great Importance
sigued-Treaty Work Under Ding
ley Act Closed.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The long
pending reciprocity treaty negotiations
between the United States and France
were brought to successful close at
the state department when Ambassador
Cambou, in behalf of France, and Com
missioner Kasson, in behalf of the
United States, affixed their signatures
to the reciprocity treaty.
The concessions granted by France
embrace most of the articles in what is
known as the French minimum tariff.
This comprises 644 heads, the rates
being on an aver;N,e about 20 per cent
below those III the general tariff of
France. Concessions were granted
upon all but 26.
Besides the reductions given to this
country, the treaty is important in con.
tlnulng a number of minimum rates
which would have been abolished if the
treaty had not been concluded. The
most important of these articles are
petroleum and mineral oils. At pres.
ent these oils enter France on the min.
imum rate, but had the treaty failed a
rate would have been imposed making
q difference of duty amounting to about
$5,000,000. Had the treaty failed a
heavy duty would have been imposed
upon American cotton. The same is
true of copper, rubber and many classes
OF machinery.
France secures important concessions
on over 100 of the chief products sent
by France to this country. The Ding
ley law allows not to exceed 20 per cent
reduction as a basis of reciprocity, but
the full 20 per cent is not allowed on all
the articles covered by the treaty. On
some of them the reduction is per
cent, on others 10, others 10, and up to
20 per cent.
The treaty will result in placing the
products of the United States on the
same basis in France as products of
Great Britain and Germany. At pres
ent these countries have the minimum
French rate, while the American goods,
with few exceptions, have had to pay
the maximum rate.
The French treaty was the hast of the
instruments of this kind, and the treaty
work under the Dingley act was
brought to a close. Six treaties were
made, all save that of France relating
to British West India islands.

GROWTH OF EXPORTS
Good Showing of Foreign Trade Of
United States.
Europe only Part of world which
Has Failed to Increase Amount
of Money Paid for Our
Products.

A study of the details of exports
from the United States during the fis-
cal year just ended, the bureau of sta
tistics says, shows that every part of
the world has evinced an increased de-
sire for American products. Europe is
the only part of the world which has
failed to increase the amount of money
paid to us for our products, and this,
the bureau says, is due solely to the
plentiful supply of breadstuffs in that
part of the world in 1899 as compared
with 1903, and the consequent decrease
in price paid per bushel. TO Asia, to
Africa, to South America, to Mexico,
to Canada and to the Hawaiian is
lands and Oceanica our sales have
increased in quantity and value as
compared with the phenomenal year
1898.
To British North America, the ex-
ports in the fiscal year 1899 will be in
round numbers SOC, 100000 against $685.
100000 last year; to Mexico about $685.
100000, against $21, ,2O5, 900 last year; to
Cuba about $1s,OOO,OOO, against $780,
900 last year; to Porto Rico, $4,000, 600,
against $1,5O0,000 in 1898; and to the
entire West Indies group, $50, 5,ooo,o 900 in
round numbers against S26, ,43S, 900 last
year. South America, to which our
sales In the past have not shown as
rapid an increase as those to other
parts of the world, shows a slight gain
in 1899 and will reach a total Of over
100000, against S33 1921 900 last year.
To Asia the exports of the year will be
about $47,O00,00O, against S44,s44,0
last year, China showing an increase of
over 33 per cent. and Hong-Kong
about an equal increase, while Japan,
which purchased enormous quantities
of raw cotton and various manufac-
tured goods from us last year, has
somewhat decreased her purchases in
those lines, so that the total to japan
during the year will show reduction
of over $3,000,0o0 compared with 1897.
0ceanica shows remarkable gains, the
total for the year being likely to ex-
ceed $50, 100000 against $21 ,991 900 last
year, and to Africa the exports of the
year are in excess of those of any pre-
ceding year.
The value of exports to the United
Kingdom for the year will be more
than $25, 100000 below that Of last year,
while the reduction in the value of our
exports to France will be more than
2O,0O0,oOO, to Belgium about $4,000
900, and to Spain about 100000. This
| reduction occurs almost entirely in
food products, and especially bread
stuffs.

"In disposing of her remaining pos

many, Spain retains colonial territories
only in Africa and the neighboring wa

TWO BRAVE AMERICANS.
Dispersed a Howling Mob of 5000 or
1000 In Korea-One of Them
From Columbus.

COLORADO SPRINGS, July 25.-In re-
ferring to the recent attack ON the elec-
trio line by fanatical natives in Seoul,
Korea, +. E. Rittenhouse of this city,
who was connected with the construc-
ton of the road, said that he had re-
ceived several letters from Seoul lately.
H. r. Bostwick of San Francisco, man
ager of the Seoul Electric company, and
II. Raymond Krumm of Columbus, chief
of the imperial engineering department,
alone and unarmed, by their GOODNESS
and nerve, dispersed howling mob of
5000 to 1000 Orientals and saved their
own lives and the power house and cleo
trio plant.
At the time the child was run over
the streets were literally packed with
excited natives, discussing the decisions
of astrologers and "mutanges" that the
electric railroad and power house were
the real causes of the drought and suf-
fering among the poor. The mob fell
upon the cars, destroyed and burned
some of them and drove off the Japanese
employees with broken heads. Then
5000 or 1000 appeared before the power
house. The two Americans started
across the open toward the mob. The
effect was instantaneous. The act of
of those two calm, fearless white men
startled and silenced them.
Suddenly BosUwick held up his hand
and commanded them to "chorigah'
(disperse) by order Of the United States
of America. Clubs and stones wert
dropped and the rioters simply climbed
over each other to get away.
