High Price of Manila Hemp.
From The Chicago Tr1bune.

The Philippine product which the United
States has brought and used the most of for
many years is Manila hemp. twas found to
be specially adapted for the manufacture of
binding Irvine, an article which has become
one of the necessities of the American wheat
grower. Two years ago Manila hemp was
selling for so a ton. Two months ago it was
worth $40 ton. The latest London quotation
is nearly 5000 ton. Either the farmers OF
the Northwest viii have to pay double prices
for their binding Irvine, or the manufacturers
will have to find some cheaper, satisfactory
substitute for Manila hemp. The price has
gone up because all peaceful industries in
Luzon are in bad condition. Fihpinos, who
are fighting under Aguinado. or who live in
districts held one day by the Americans and
another day by the insurgents, cannot be eN-
pected to be specially industrious. The hemp
raised outside the American lines cannot
reach Manila. and If all the ports held by the
insurgents are blockaded it Will no. be ship
ped out of the island. In that event the price
OF that article will be almost prohibitory.

The Nontreating Club.

The Nontreating Club may not have
great success as an organization, but
its object is commcndable just the
same. The treating habit is a more
effective agency for the promotion of
intemperance than most persons real
ize. Moreover, the habit is foolish
and contrary to correct canons OF good
taste. There is no more reason why a
person should feel under obligation to
drink with another from consldera-
tions Of supposed courtesy when notln
need Of refrcshment than there IS tor
partaking Of meal which one does
not want. Time was when the rules
of hospitality required overeating from
guests at the banquet table. Happl-
ly that barbarian usageis outgrown. 1t
will be better for the world when the
habit Of treating and Of drinking with
friends simply because asked to drink
is likewise outgrown.-C Chicago Re-

perseverance,, grit and Il fair share
of enterprise will help any young man
to make success of the business
calling he chooses to follow, and any
young man who takes it upon himself
to cultivate and foster these great at
tributes is bound to sooner or later
gain recognition among his more cx-
perienced and already successful busi-
ness uneighbors.
In few words, that was the way
in which Governor Benton McMillin
of Tennessee summed up his views in
the matter, aud then, in answer to
other questions on possibilities for
the beginners in lifc's struggle, this
is about what the Governor had to
say:
''Why shouldn't our boys Of the
present time become good and pro-
grcssivc business men? They lave
almost everything in their favor, from
far superior standard Of learning
and the facility to acquire it to a
great and growing demand in the
many callings for mcn Of bright ideas
and originality in management. Then,
too. look at the wonderful opportunl-
ties that are presented to man OF
ambition right at this time. Chances
Of every description abound, not only
in our home country, but reports con-
tinually show that the new possessions
Of this great Union offer unlimited
fields for the exercise Of real Amerl-
can enterprise, and this should act as
an incentive to men of the pioneer ma
ture to strike out.and see what they
can do there.
''Men of thirty years ago never had
anything like the chances that are
now before the youth Of to-day, and
yet maoy great things were accom-
plished by them, aud only by the
hardest kind Of work, but they had
the grit to stick to it, and thatis what
the rising young man must do.
''Thcre is no lack of opportunity to
demonstrate man S true worth, and
there is no lack of chances to make
success in any calling. Success will
come to every young man who tries In
the proper way to find it. "-Erchangc.

Alcohol and Insanity.

At the present day, when an lndul-
gence in alcohol poison is exerting It's
sad but dreadful effects on humanity,
when our lunacy statistics show that
the increase of insanity is really due to
an increase in this vice, it behooves
one to consider briefly the question.
The recent publication of the London
asylums' committee annual report
shows an actual increase In lunacy IN
the asylums governed over and con-
trolled by the County Council of sew
en- hundred, as compared with last
year. In one large asylum the medi-
cal superintendent states that out of
nine hundred and fifty eight inmates
received, two hundred and seventeen
of these admissions were due to in
temperance in drink. Onc-fourth of
the insanity, then, is attributed to a
vice which is, so to speak, self-ln-
ficted. These statistics also compare
we'll with those issued by the lunacy
commissioners, and on taking an ay-
erage for the last five years, drink as
a cause averages 20.9 per cent OF the
admissions. When we take into con-
sideration the fact that there is no
disease whose germs are handed down
to posterity to Il greater extent than
this. we shuddcr to think what the
condition Of the descendants Of these
alcoholic degenerates must be. 1t is
a law Of vital physiology that "like
begets like SO do drunken parents
often transfer their brutalizing habits
to their unhappy offspring, who, if
they do not actually follow in the wake
of their parents, exhibit some form OF
moral and mental obliquity or a ner-
vous disorder clearly traceable to
deterioration of physical structure
in all probability seated in the brain
caused by long and persistent indul.
gence in the use Of intoxicating Ii.
quors. One of the leading physicians
of America showed by his statistics
that, out of three hundred idiots,
whose history could be traced, one
hundred and forty-6ve were the chill
