The Dogs of COnstantinOpIe

The dogs OF Constantinople are a
peculiar institution. Their number is
legion. and not one of them has a
master. for the MOhammedan regards
the canine as unclean. They are tol-
Grated because they are necessity to
the health of the city. With all its
splendor and magnificence. CONSTANT
nopie is filthy city. 1t has no sys-
tenn of sewerage, and all garbage is
emptied into the streets. These dogs
are the scavengers: they eat every
thing and preserve the people from
cOntagion. OF their own movement
they district the city. and no individ-
ual dog may trespass upon another
bailiwick without being torn to pieces
and devoured. They are an ill-condi-
toned. NANCY set. ever barking or
yelping. friendless and wont TO be
kicked by every passing man. Unlike
dogs in every other part of the world
they have no affection for man. and
will run in fear if he does but glance
at them.

LETTER FROM MANILA.

The following is an extract from a
letter received by B. F. Peterson from
his son, Ernest, who is is in the Phil
| ippine Islands:
Oct. 2S, Content Augustina,
Mdlato, Manila, p. I.
am located at the above place, the
building being especially adapted to
hospital purposes. We have over two
hundred patients at this writing. Ma
laria, typhoid fever, diarrhea, dysen-
terry predominant, with considerable
small pox of very malignant char
acter. The hardest thing we have to
contend against is the fact that the
majority of the patients do not re-
spond readily to treatment and are a
long time recovering. Personally,
have thus far kept we'll and am very
busily engaged in the supervision Of
one half the wards. Life here is not
one of comfort, I assure you, but I
have had the luxury of sleeping on a
cot with sheets (unbleached), for the
past week-the first time since leav-
ing the Russ house at Frisco
The insurgents have not as yet
fought our troops, but there is some
reason for anticipating trouble with
them and our troops guard and pa
troll the city, including Malato and
Cavite, very carefully. Manila and
surroundings are very interesting in
many respects and I could write many
pages descriptive of it. The papers
and home magazines give details suf
fciently that reading them is almost
or next best to personal visit, and I
do not have much time for letter
writing. I am only attached tempo
rarily to this hospital and may be
detailed elsewhere any day, when
another hospital is required to be
opened. When arrived at the pres
ent one it lacked many features of
good management, especially in the
wards themselves. Many of the OBJ
jectionable details I have been en-
abled to materially improve, and still
the condition is far from satisfactory.
Errors in nursing occur that I can
overcome in no other way but by do
ing it myself. Acting Steward Wood,
who works with me and manages the
other half of the wards, is a most ex-
cellent fellow and fully competent,
besides being very agreeable COM
panion.

OUR EXPORTS BEAT
ENGLAND.

Our exports of domestic mechandise
in 1898 will amount to over 81, 200 ,OOO-
600, while the United Kingdom will
export domestic merchandise valued
at less than S1,14O, OOO, 600, says the
New York sam. Our foreign trade in
the past three years has grown by
leaps and bounds, while England's
has been at standstill, and the Uni
ted States treasury and English board
of trade returns at the end of this
month will show that the place Eng
land has SO long held as the greatest
exporter of domestic products has
been taken by the United States.
Eight years ago, when England ship
ped to foreign countries her products
to the value of s1,2sO, 1853, 643 (the
worlds highwater mark, while our
domestic exports amounted to but
SS45, 1899, 7O3, it did not seem possible
that before the end of the decade
America would outstrip England and
take the place as the greatest export :
er of home made products. Our ad-
vance, considering that in the middle
of the decade we passed through one
of the most disastrous panics in our
history, has been wonderful.
November's export trade broke the
record. The Treasury Department

There has been a test case in the
English courts on question which IS
agitating cyclists all around the world,
more or less. It was brought in the
Queens Bench division against the
Great Northern Railway Company ION
behalf of one Britten," seeking to
recover sixpence paid for the convey
ance of bicycle from Kings Cross to
East Finchley." And after hearing
an argument the court decided that
the plaintiff could not recover for
the reason that "a bicycle cannot
be ordinary luggage within the def
nition."
The special interest attaching to
this case is the fact that the attorney
for the plaintiff made his argument
on the very lines on which similar
claims are based in this country. He
claimed that a bicycle came clearly
wit hin the definition Of personal lug
gage" for the reason that it was car
ried by the traveller for his own per-
sonal convenience and use in cOnnec-
ton with his Journey, and was an
article such as was ordinarily carried
for that purpose But his Lordship,
in rendering his decisiouY brushed
away all such considerations by de-
claring that ''the idea of luggage"
must control; and as luggage implies
something that is '''packed, not taken
''loose, like BICYCLE" the wheelman
lost his case.-Boston Post. -

ures for the month show that our ex-
ports of domestic merchandise
amounted tos127 ,4s3, 567, exceeding the
record of December 4ast-by s., $50, 3s4.
Including the few exports of, foreign
products, our exports amounted in
all to S129, 7s3, 512.- The December
1897 record was $126,053, 691 While
prior to that was S117, 1876, 1926, made in
December 1896. The November ex-
ports show an increase of over $13,
600, 900 over those in last November,
while the increase over the November
exports of three years ago is over $751;
100000
Sir O.. T. Richie, President Of the
English Board Of Trade, in speech
before the Croydon Chamber of Com
merce the other day, calling attention
to the critical state of the foreign
trade Of the kingdom, stated that
while in the period 1891 81 the exports
from France had increased IL per
cent, those from Germany, Holland
and Belgium 1874 per cent and those
from the United States IS per cent,
the United Kingdoms exports had
fallen off per cent. Up to the end of
October the English exports for the
year had fallen off 100000, while
the imports had increased Ella 1000, 900.
He attributed the wonderful increase
of our export trade to the develop
ment of our natural resources and
said that our tariff was in a large part
responsible for the decline of Eng,
lands export trade.
The United Kingdoms exports of
her own products last year amount to
81, 13s, 941 ,O15, while our exports were
valued at 81 ,O79, 1884, 2s4. The British
lead of $1,000, 900 in 1896 was cut i
down to 6O,OOO,OOO. We are not only
going to overcome the $50, 100000 this
year, but we will lead the United
Kingdom by from $50, 100000 to $50,
900, 900.
Our exec SIS of exports this year will
reach remarkable figures. November
not only broke the export record, but
made new record for months ex-
cess of exports. While the exports
were nearly $3.50, 100000, the imports
were only $52, los, $50, the exact excess
of exports being S77, 673, 1852. If the
December excess is up to the average
the years 'balance of trade" will
come close to being 5000, 100000 IN
our favor. Last year we thought
$3.50, 900 great record.
