1899: :

~ We stand on the threshold of an.
other year, and speculate as to
what it will bring as inviduals
and as IA people. 1t will be the
last year Of the last decade of the
twentieth century. The world is
growing old. and yet it's shifting
Kaleidoscope is constantly present
ing scenes as entirely novel as
were the fruits and flowers of Eden
to our first progenitorS. The
events of 1857 have DESTROYED
traditions, revolutionized opinions
diverted the trend of history
and changed the map of the world.
It's is no wonder that thoughtful
men ponder as 10 the influence of
these changes on the great
country that has brought them
about. a twelve month since "A
great English Newspaper alluded
to the United States as IA sixth
rate power, whose voice was not
heard in the worlds diplomacy"
and to-day there is in the whole
universe neither camp nor court
where our power is not confessed.
1t is not strange that people who
have never dreamed of this
national apotheosis should tremblc
and shudder al our sudden cx.
altation. 1t is perhaps more re.
markable that so many accept our
status rs the result of our inherent
greatness, and see nothing in the
situation but elimination of in.
evltable destiny. From first to last
the events of 9S appear to us as if
they had been directed by u power
whose ripening purpose had
awaited through the adolescence
of the people destined and
ordained from OF old to right the
wrongs of the world and to bring
about an ideal political condition

Bananas from Jamaica.

There has been rapid development of
trade with Jamaica in the last year or
two, owing chiefly to the increased culti-
walton on that island OF bananas, nearly
all of which are exported to this country.
the plantations are largely owned by
Boston capitalists, and the fruit is ship
ed in fine new steamers to philadelphia
and other ports along the Atlantic coast.
Bananas are now sold at such low prices
in this city that they are consumed
largely by poor people, being both sue
culent and.nourishing.
The employees of the Baldwin Loco
motive Works, numbering over 5000
men, are paid weekly, on Friday after
noon, and at six O'Clock on that day
Broad Street in the neighborhood of the
works is temporarily covered into a fruit
market, where fine ripe bananas may be
bought for the extraordinarily low price
of FIVE cents dozen. Frequently fifteen
bananas on a bunch are offered for a
nickel. AS the workmen, with pay enve'
lopes in their hands, march out from the
locomotive shops, they are greeted with
the shrill cries of the fruit hucksters, and
during fifteen minutes a lively trade is
done. Then the vendors silently depart
and are seen no more in the neighbor
hood until the next Friday afternoon.
Owing largely to the banana trade
exports from Jamaica to this country
amounted last year to nearly $500,
900 and her imports from the Unitet
States exceeded $4,O00,000 in value
Cuba and Porto Rico are both banana
growing countries, and there is oppor
tunity for great development of thi
business in those islands, Philadelphi;

Scarcity of Coin In China.

A currency embarrassment has resulted
in China from the rise of the price OF cop
per. The fractional currancy of that
country consists OF copper cash" and
and these are really the standard for the
great bulk of daily transactions among
the people. Wages are so small and pri-
ces so low that there is seldom need Of
the silver dollar or tael in retail business.
When the rise of copper became known
in the East, however. these cash" rose
to a premium, and were consequently
sold and disappeared from circulation,
greatly to the embarrassment of the
small merchants. In some of the large
commercial centres an effort was made
to supply the deficiency but it did not
go very far after the authorities found
out that copper needed to coin or stamp
equivalent of silver tael in cash" cost
from "a to w taels. Chinese provincial
authorities are not likely to do businesses
at loss for the benefit OF the public, and
and so the embarrassment continues. A
reduction in the weight or size of the
"cash" would not be tolerated by so con-
sentative people as the Chinese. The
issue of subsidiary silver coin is talked
Of; but it would take long time to
bring this about, and even then it is
doubtful whether the people would take
the new coins. The problem is not an
easy one to solve under the conditions
existing in China The Engineering and

London probably suffers less from the
plague of beggars than any other OF the
great capitals of the world. 1t is
certainly less troubled with them than it
was few generations ago. According
to the report of the Mendicity Society,
which held it's annual meeting recently
our professional mendicants number a.
bout 10000, large multitude in itself,
but not so very formidable considering
that they are distributed among popu-
lation OF six millions. That begging is
a less tempting career than it formerly
was is due largely to the operations Of
the excellent society whose figures have
been quoted, and to the change that has
in consequence come over public opinion.
Up to quite recent period it was held
to be breach of charity to refuse aims
to street mendicant, and well brought
up children were Encouraged to give their
half pence to such claimants in preference
to spending them upon sweets or toys.
Possibly that was good for the children,
but it was bad for society, which has
now learned that mendicancy generally
only form of crime, to aid in the repres-
sion of which is the duty of all good
citizens.
Too many people still put their hands
in their pockets in answer to whining
appeal, but most of them would confess
that they are moved less by benevolence
than by the desire to be rid of tempo
rary annoyance. In the large majority
OF cases the persons assisted in this man
ner are totally unworthy. If we may
accept the Mendicity Society's statistics,
only about one beggar in twenty are in
urgent need of help: rs per cent aregross
imposters, and another so per cent are
altogether undeserving of help, though
they are possibly poor enough. In view
of facts like these the giving of indis-
eliminate relief is less of a virtue than a
crime London Globe.

Living Bellamy Fashion.

The little town of Morehead, in the
very northwest corner of Labette county
Kansas, is probably the only town in the
United States that is run on CO opera
tive plan to any extent. This little town
has a population of about FIVE or six
hundred people and has adopted coop
erative methods almost exclusively. 1t
is situated on the Santa Fe railroad be-
tween independence and Kansas City,
and is about thirty miles north of indie
pendence. 1t is in the heart of a great
agricultural section and the cooperative
idea has been extended into the country,
where several farms are run on the CO.
operative basis. The farmers raise their
crops and divide up, so that if one farmer
has poor crops he need not suffer total
loss, as he would do otherwise.
The cooperative methods that have
been adopted so far have proven sue
cess and more enterprises are constantly
being put under this method of Going
business. At present the town has co.
operative hotel, cooperative laundry,
a cooperative hall, cooperative
creamery, cooperative canning factory
and a cooperative dining hall has just
been put in operation where several
families, perhaps two dozen take their
meals Anybody who is member of
the company can get their meals at re-
duced rate there and many farmers have
become members, so that they can get a
good square meal at very low price
when they come to town on Saturday.
A cooperative housekeeping movement
is to be started soon, which, together
with the dining hall already in operation,
will do away with the hired girl problem.
An experienced manager oversees each
common enterprise and renders his ac-
count at the end Of each month, and the
expenses are divided up among the men,
bers of the cooperative society.
The town is prospecting and many new
houses are going up. Other enterprises
will be put on cooperative basis at
once, and it is intended soon to have all
the cooking and other work done in COM
mon, and such town as Edward Bel
lamy pictures in Looking Backward"
will in all probability be realized there, as
that is the intention OF the people of
Morehead.-[ Washington Evening Star.

Printing on Canvas.

A remarkable recent achievement in
photographs an emulsion which makes
it possible to print on canvas direct.
Efforts to this end have been made for
years, but without success. A lair init.
nation of the peculiar effect of canvas
sheet was produced by printing with
light which had passed through fine
net, but it was only an imitation. Now,
however, an emulsion, whose compost
ton is secret, has been produced,
which is applied directly to the canvas
and on which the print is impressed, as
on paper. To what extent this will in.
wade the field oil oil painting is a problem
as yet dependent on progress in the di-
rection OF initial color photography, but
the effects thus far obtained in blacks,
whites and browns are such as to make
the dawn of new day in high.class
