A FLOATING EXPOSITION.
The ShipIoad Of lis Products Which Austria
Will Show in the Orient.

Austria Hungary lass behind in the
race for foreign trade. Hungary is
given to agriculture, and her manufac-
lures are inconsiderable. Austria
lacks the coal and~ iron that add so
much to the wealth and industrial ac-
tivity of Germany. Most of the man
ufactures of the empire are produced
in the rugged parts of Austria proper
and though in variety and volume thcy
fall far below those of Germany the
country is capable of much larger
production and is now trying to eX-
pand it's trade.
The latest effort in this direction is
the floating exposition winch IS TO start
from Trieste. in December. 1t VIII
spend the next six months Visiting all
the leading ports of India and the
Orient and a few islands in the Indian
and Pacific oceans. y large steamship
has been chartered from the Austrian
Lloyds Steamship Company, and the
imperial government has encouraged
the enterprise with grant of $2O,30O
Among the ports to be visited are the
Piraeus Salonica, ConStantinople,
SMYRNA Alexandria, MassoWah, Alden,
Bombay. Colombo, Calcutta, Rangoon.
Singapore. Bangkok, Saigon, Batavia,
Cebua, Manila, Canton. Hong Kong,
Swatow, Annoy. Fuchau. Shanghai.
Wei Hei Wei, Chefoo, Port Arthur, Ma
gasaki. Kobe and Yokohama.
The ship will carry samples of Austro-
Hungarian products, and the entire
vessel, fitted up with booths and light
ed by electricity, will be a vast store
house of exhibits. Each exhibitor will
pay according to the space he occupies,
and thirty or forty experts will accom-
pany the floating show to give informa-
ton. The exposition will be free to all.
And its arrival in each port will be an
nounced in advance in the newspapers
and by posters and circulars. Cata-
logues printed in four languages will
be distributed gratuitously, and the
agents on board may receive orders.
but can sell only at the prices fixed by
the exhibitors. An ice machine will be
on board to insure the freshness Of all
the products, particularly the wine and
beer
This enterprise is not original with
Austria. 1t was tried with success by
Switzerland years ago. The larger
country may well take other lessons
from the little republic, for Switzer-
land. an inland state. dependent upon
foreign ports To receive and dispatch
all its imports ana exports Of commodi-
ties, is. in proportion to its population,
one Of the leading commercial nations.

WOMEN As DIPLOMATS.
The Gar Preparing to Work Through the
Harems of the East.

1t is said that the Russian govern
ment mas Just organized new school
or diplomacy at st. Petersburg, and
the students are all to be women. So
one more interesting field of work iy
opening up to women. but no wall Of
disappointment is likely to go up from
masculine diplomatists thrown out cf
employment by feminine competition.
Ihe female diplomatists are to have =
dlStInct province Of their own and ia
meddle not at all with masculine pre-
negatives, says the New York Sun.
Ihe new school is an iIlustra ton of
Russia's grim determination to neglect
nothing that will strengthen her hold
IN the East. Europeans have always
peen accustomed to regard the women
OF the Orient as utter nonentities in
Eastern politics. and the influence of
the harem is little understood outside
OF the countries in which it is an ac-
knoWledged institution. Things could
hardly be otherwise. since the harem
lie is so religiously guarded from pub
ilc scrutiny. No man save the Sover-
elgn is allowed TO cross the threshold
OF Zenana. Even the civil authorities
dare not violate the Sanctity of a
harem, and crime OF any sort may be
committed with impunity behind those
closed doors. Even the strong arm Of

fruit that have been imported from
Italy and southern France will become
the most profitable. Special attention
is now given To cultivating olives for
the oil alone or for keeping qualities in
pickle. and here again there is a va
riety of opinions among horticulturists.
From the time of planting in orchard
TO the first good crop, six and seven
years are spent in occasionally cult
waiting the soil, pruning the trees, and
spraying to eXterlninate the numerous
parasitic insects. known in California
and Arizona as scale. bugs. There are
olive orchards seveny prs old in Pomo-
M valley that paid 5000 net profit an
acre Il year ago, and there are some
that yielded a clear profit of $500 an
acre. y few OF the older and best-kept
orchards produced crops that sold at
the rate Of 1910 an acre. When an
olive tree is twelve years old it ought
to bear about 40 pounds Of olives Gail
fruit in California is sold by the pound)
each year. and for several seasons the
! standard price in Pomona for the crop
on the trees by the producers of olive
| oil has been five cents a pound. No
| one knows how long a good olive tree
will continue to bear fruit in profitable
quantity. There are in the San Cab
riel valley several olive trees planted in
| 1872 and 1913 which still bear many
| pounds of good fruit every year.
| Travellers in Italy and France tell of
| olive trees bearing bountifully at the
age of over $50 years. There are sew
| eral olive trees in the vicinity of
| Athens Greece, that yield fair crops
and are known to be over 500 years old,
and it is said that there are olive trees
over 1000 years old in and about Jeru-
! salem.

Lafayette Shared His Blanket.

one night. during the terrible winter
at Valley Forge. Gen. LAFAYETTE. in
making his rounds through the camp.
saw sentry staggering and apparent
~ too weak to hold his musket. The
poor fellow was nearly frozen. His
shoes We're broken at the sides and
toes. showing his stockingless feet.
Lafayette approached and took the
gun out of the half-insensible soldiers
hands.
Wake up. my man" he said: go to
my hut and YOU will find a fire a pair
of stockings. and blanket. Warm
yourself. put on the stockings. and
bring the blanket to me, | will stay
here and take your place till you come
back"
Half an hour passed, while the gen.
eral remained on volunteer duty, with
shouldered musket, pacing the sentry's s
beat. Then the soldier returned
warmed and revived, bringing the
blanket with him. 1t was large one.
Lafayette drew his sword and cut it
into two equal parts. and, handing one
of them to the sentinel. retired to es-
cape his thanks.
1t may be mentioned here that at one
OF the public receptions accorded to
General Lafayette during his visit fo
America in 1924 a white-haired veteran
shook hands with him and eA hibited a
half blanket. The old soldier was the
sentry who had received the gitN from
the generals hand forty-sevcn Years
before.
Lafayette was never canonized as a
saint, but he is dear to every Ameri.
can, and not merely because he shared
his blanket with soldier. but because
his high character and kindly heart
made such an action natural and ex-
pected. In King Alfred dividing his
last loaf, in Governor Winthrop giving
away his only SCOOP of meal, and in
the young peer of France making him
self poor to become brother to a suf-
fering people the spirit was the same.
1t was the Christian greatness that can
assume another's sorrow.
