BankruptinS EurOpe,

Philadelphia Press: When the Duke of Port
land sells Pennsylvania shares in New York.
his act speaks for far wider change in the
relations OF nations than the mere settlement
in our securities Of Europe's debt to this. coun-
try created by surplus exports. AS long az
this country sold food to Europe and bought
manufactures Of Europe, there might be Eu-'
ropean famine years. in which Europe bought
food heavily and overdrew the international
account; but the balance was sure to be recti-
fed in due time by imports of manufaet-
ures. This is over. Half our favorable trade
balance in 1898, was due to our export Of $685.
OOO, 600 Of manufactures, most Of which went
to Europe: This not only gave our export
surplus of over $500 600 000 but it gave Eu-
ropean manufactures competition their
ground such they have never had be-
fore. Exactly from 1870 to 1895, the COM
petition Of our cheap foods reduced the value
of all European farm lands fully one-half
since 1895 competition in manufactures is
reducing the capital value and earning power
Of the entire factory plant Of both England and
continental Europe. When this loss in farm
lands had added to it this loss in factories,
and both farm and factory undersold by
the United States, how is Europe going to 20
on paying interest its national and local
debt Of $50, 900, 900, 900? Our blanket national
and local mortgage is one-ffteenth Of this.
How can Europe escape bankruptcy when this
vast interest charge has to be met out Of the
profits of industries agricultural and manu-
featuring, swamped by American competition?

The New Rullet

War Against War: To give some idea Of the
effect of these new bullets, will try to de-
pict their deadliness with accuracy following
Bruins. Bruins found that bullets with leaden
tops fired from small caliber rifles at short
ranges inflict wound more serious than those
formed with ordinary rife bullets. Experience
has constantly shown abnormally large exit
aperture of irregular form, a large lacerated
pit in the muscles up to the size Of hand,
and cutting up of bones into numberless
small fragments. In the case Of shots from
very short ranges-for instance, $3.50 meters
there resulted crushing Of the soft parts,
and a splitting up Of the bones into little bits.
bits of tissue of considerable size being driven
outside, that sometimes the member was
held together only by veins and the skin. Tho
exit wound showed enormous defect Of skin
and muscle, the muscles being lacerated and
destroyed, and the blood vessels for the great
part torn. But in the case OF shots at
much greater ranges, up to 400 meters the Pc
culiar effect Of this leaden-ended bullet was be-
trayed, the wounds being decidedly more seri-
GUS than those inflicted by the fully coated
bullet. At 600 meters the peculiar effects are
not met with always, so that as limit Of
range within which these effects are always
found we may take 500 meters. "It is quite
plain adds Prof. Bruins, ''that surgical art,
in spite Of the great progress 1t has made in
the last fifty years. will be helped less when
dealing with wounds Of this kind, and there
will remain no alternative but anputation, II
the wounded man has not died from loss of
blood in consequence Of the destruction Of the
soft parts" 49, D. =

MAKES swEDr BIRDS SING.
Southern Girl Who Earns Money ~
Bird TrainiuH. 49,

Chicago Chronicle: A Southern woman
has lately added a new chronicle to the
already lengthy list Of feminine achieve
ments to- earn money. She raises and
trains native song birds. Miss Louise
Cheatam lives near the winter resort
Aiken, S. c., and the idea was suggested
by the sale OF a pet hooking bird. This
bird came to her through q negro boy
whom she caught robbing the parent nest.
The fledgling was the weakling Of tho
flock and for that reason the boy con-
sidered it worthless and left it on the
ground to die. Miss Cheatam rescued and
raised it.
The second winter of the BIRDS Life ~
was purchased by Northern visitor to
Aiken, who, CHANGING to pass the house.
heard it singing. This sale gave the
young woman an idea which she was not
slow to follow and now she does a thriv-
ing business with native song birds Of the
South. -.
" Miss Cheatam does not attempt to hatch
them herself, but, watching her chance,
goes boldly to the spot where the parent
birds have made their homes and lifts the
nesK, with their young broods, off. This
Is the best and most humane method, es-
pecially with the hooking birds, for II q
human hand once enters their nest the
parent bird will kill every remaining fedg-
ling, and, according to Miss Cheatam. her
greatest enemies are these same parent
BIRDS for they try in every way to poison
a bird which they find Gagged.

vatOr of q Sky-Scraper.
New York Sun: It was in one Of the elevators
Of a Nassau street sky scraper. AS the ele-
vator shot toward the zenith a little stout man,
with mourning band on his silk hat, began to
sputter. His face assumed the complexion Of
lobster that has passed away in boiling water.
'Buh-but, rt-st-st-b'rr." he said, a. the
veins stood out upon his neck.
"Guess he'll have a stroke" muttered a pas
senger to the elevator man, while the latter
gazed anxiously at the man who was sputter.

At the twenty-third story the stout man o

the elevator man the latter nervously pulled

at a terrific rate. The solitary passenger danced
about, gurgling spasmodically, and it seemed

AS the car struck bottom, however, he rushed

The Soueeze in Quinine.

washington Post: We do not know that
there Is amy material difference, from the
moral point Of view, between raising the price
Of bread by speculation and performing the
same operation ON quinine. In either case
the masses are compelled for time to con-
bribute to the bank accounts Of a few men who
risk their cash their Judgment. But the
are extremely hazardous, and it should not
be forgotten that every government holds the
right, based on the first law Of nature to
crush a monopoly and to smash any corner
that abuses its power.

The DfnEIey Tariff indicated

Chicago Times-Herald: The receipts from
customs, which are hardly affected by tho
war tariff (only by the tea duty have now
reached a point where they exceed by $1,000:
600 monthly the average receipts under tho
Wilson law. The total receipts for the first
nine months of the fiscal year have been
1882, 444,412 against S347, 721,9 05 for the en-

surners These must be modified repealed.
