Vic Benefits Of War.

While 1t may be selfish 1t is neverthe-
less true that the war now being waged
In South Africa will be Of q decided
benefit to this country. Since HOSTILE
ties began business relations with the
South African republics have naturally
been interrupted, but now that the PROS
poets Of peace are bright exporters are
making plans for a renewal of their
trade. A representative of a leading
New York establishment in an inter
view with u reporter the other day said:
commercially speaking. the war be-
tween Great Britain and the South AT
rican republics will. think. prove de-
cIded benefit to this country. 1t is
probably a fair estimate that the war
has cut down the regular South African
exports from this country about one
half. A considerable part of this re-
duction. however II, indeed. not all Of
1t, has been replaced by the exports OF
mules and hay, etc.. for the British
army and also by exports of food pro-
ducts and supplies for the people in
South Africa who have been unable to
cultivate their lands and who. there
fore, have had to purchase supplies they
previously raised. With the cessation of
hostilItles there will most probably be
very active exports, as great deal Of
repair material will be required to re-
place what could not be produced dur
Ing the war time and because the ter
rltory was commercially broken up by
the war conditions. The South African
countries will look to US for such pro-
ducts as they have not been raising,
swing to The war conditions, and also
,or a large amount Of material for fu-
:ure agricultural work and for the re-
construction rendered necessary by thu
savages Of the war"
The representative of another leading
export house is quoted as saying tina.
he expected that the first large tncrease
In the demand would BIZ for building
material and for railroad construction
material. He also expected fair In
crease in the demand for furniture. due
to the breaking up OF the houses of
families who had to leave the Trans
vaal and the wilful destruction Of their
goods after they left People have
had to leave their homes" he said, land
a good many homes have been despoIl
ed. These Will have to be rehtted.
There will also be an active demand for
lumber and for various articles of food.

THE GROUND HOGS PRopHEoY
This Year the Little Fellow Proved
Mort Wantharwise.

Most Weatherwise.
Six weeks ago. on the Cd Of February
a little, fat, roly-poly, gray-turred ro-
dent mammal Of the species of mar
mot known to the residents of here
abouts as the grounding, to the in
habitants Of the northern states as the
woodchucls and to the student Of nat
ural history as the arctomys monax,
poked his chubby black nose out Of his
hole on the hillside and gave q critical
glance slSyward.
This particular grounding appeared
to realize the important duty devolVing
upon him, for. as subsequent events
have proved, he was n grounding OF
rare and discriminating intelligence.
Many Of the weather-wlse, who would
scorn to place reliance upon the wealth
er bureaus representations and who
themselves know all about the grave
import Of q southerly wind shifting into
the northwest, and whose talk Is filled
with weather SHARP phrases in their
Jealous efforts to tell how really little
they know about atmospheric changes,
dOff their hats and bow profoundly to
this self-same cunning little species OF
marmot.
So when Washington's pet ground
hog, who inhablts sunny side hill be-
tween Washington Heights and Chevy
Chase, stretched his cramped apologies
for legs, yawned sleepIly at being thus
compelled by tradition to break Into
his sweet winters Information, on the
Cd Of February last, he fully realized
his own importance and the serious
consequences OF his acts. II old Sol
was ia the game, he was out Of 1t. II
the sun were to keep his face dlscreet-
" hidden, he was in 1t, and wouldn't
have to so back to sleep any more, but
could gambol and play as long as he
pleased.
WashingtOn's pet grounding. having
been in slumber during the early part
Of the winter, did not know how mild
the weather had been. II was a CLOUDY
day, and he ran about the entrance TO
his home to get into training and start
the circulation Of his sluggish blood.
All went well until about noon. ana
then the suns face appeared smilingly
through. a break In the clouds. and cast
both grin Of triumph upon the dimin-
utIve weather prophet and n shadow as
well. The little chap, very much dis
eusted,, crawled back into his hole,
where he has since remained, for, haY-
Ing seen his shadow. he well knew that
siX weeks Of winter lay before him. ana
that he would be more comfortable
sound asleep again deep In his nest IN
the hillside.

The Puerto Rican rain.

The difference Of opinion with regard
to the bill passed by the house of repre-
sentatives imposing a slight tarlff on
the imports from Puerto Rico has been
very pronounced in some quarters, and
there are some Republicans who ques-
ton the wisdom of the action of Com
eress in the matter. These differences,
we have no doubt, win be composed in
time. In treating this question the New
York Mail and Express puts the matter
clearly. It says: "The island is to-day
without revenue and the people are suf-
fering. It has no government except a
military one. 1t will be some time be-
fore any machinery for raising revenue
can be put in operation. Meantime,
Puerto Rico must be taken care Of and
enabled as rapidly as possible to furnish
the revenues for It's own expenses. BY
