YOUNG AMERICA REACHING OUT
Frank G. Carpenter Tells About
Chances for Americans in Japan.

Frank q. Carpenter is writing a Sc
ries of articles on Chances tor N e
Men in the Far East" for. the Saturday
Evening Post, In the issue of March
81 he told many interesting facts about
Japan. "On the steamer in which I
crossed the Pacific from San Francisco
to Yokohama" he writes, "were a
number of young Americans who were
starting out to try their fortunes in
the countries of the far east One had
an engagement to act as book keeper
for a great exporting company of Kobe,
Japan; another was on his way as the
representative of one of the biggest
milling machine organizations of the
United States, to put up a modern
Touring mill, at a cost of more than
one hundred thousand dollars for some
Chinese capitalists at Shanghai: a
third expected TO take charge of a
wholesale foreign grocery at the sam
port.
I'VE had, also, several mining AMI
electrical engineers who had been sent
out to look into opportunities for in
vestments in Asia, an American pro-
fessor connected with the University
Of Toxic, and several commercial tra-
velers, each of whom had a line OF
American goods for which he expeccel j

frequently imposed by the states. And,
besides. there are daily penalties of $50
and upward for continuance of busi-
ness with a trust. In Montana the
property of the combination goes to
the state on conviction.
1t is comparatively easy for the state
to control the trust as long as the trust
salls where il manufactures. A new
condition is en- oountered when the pro-
duct of the mills begins to move to-
ward the markets of other states. Here
the state comes in contact with the
prerogative of regulating interstate
commerce, which belongs exclusively
TO congress. This power rests there
not alone when congrt SIS chooses to
exercise. it is latent, inherent and ex-
elusive. Congress must specifically
permit the states to act before they
can move
There formerly was nothing in the
federal law to forbid the rum making
states from sending their intoxicants
into the prohibition states. The Iowa
statute prohibited the sale Of any in
toxicants except under license from a
country court An Illinois liquor man
sent packages of liquor into Iowa, and
constable conflscated them. On e.
plevin the court held that the absence
of any law of congress on the subject
is equivalent to it's declaration that
commerce in that matter shall be free"
And so the constable had to return the
goods.
CONGRESS TAKES UP THE QUES-
TION.
This state of things aroused the tee
totallers of the country and they had
congress pass an act providing that
upon arrival in a state with anti-liquor
laws liquors shall be subject to the
laws of that state, and a Missouri dis
tiller who tried to do in Kansas what
the Illinois distiller had done with I'M
punity in Iowa went to jail for his
temerity.
When the trusts began to go from
state to state with their goods con-
gress aimed two or three acts at the
traffic from the interstate commerce
points of view. The most important
I of these was what is known as the
! Sherman law, and a series of nice

all meant. There was first a doubt as

The decisions as to the degree of re-

conflict with the Interstate Commerce
act are quite as much at war with one

An Attractive Dining Room.

To the Farmers Review:-I consider
the dining room one Of the most i'm
portant rooms in the household The
family will meet here oftener than
elsewhere, and three times a day they
gather around the family board. 1t is
an educator to have an attractive table
as the appearance of it has much to do
with the appetite, for a table that is
laid with a dainty white cloth, snowy
napkins and pretty table ware, will
often tempt one to eat, when, under
other conditions, there would be no
inclination for food. A housewife
makes a great mistake to be Indifferent
to her children's table manners and the
surroundings. l have heard a hostess
say, when entertaining. children, that
she could always tell the ones who
were used to table appointments, nap
kins, etc, and such children reared

CAMEO CARVING,
Brief Description of the Tools and the
Method Employed.

Method Employed.
All the tools used by the cameo carv-
er would make but a handful. The
worker sits before a wheel turned by
a pedal surface on which the workers
hands rest while he holds the shaped
stone or shell beneath the ne0dle-llke
drill. The little pointed instruments
which are used to drill resemble those
employed by a dentist, and, indeed, il
was from the cameo carver's kit that
the dentists got many Of their ideas
when the tools now in use by theIl
came to be manufactured, thirty years
ago. The drills vary in thickness &C
cording to the portion Of the figure or
design to be executed; some are as fine
as the point of a cambria needle. A
small china receptacle also stands near,
filled with oil and diamond dust, and
into this the workman frequently dips
his tool during the progress of his
work The cameo cutters occupation
is very exacting. He can put in only
few hours work at time, as usual
thing, because Of the tension on his
nerves. a quavering hand may be re-
sponsible for the single stroke which
will spoil a weeks work. He must
have an eye almost like miscroscope,
and very delicate touch; he must be
an artist in soul and as skilled a
craftsman as is a matchmaker; ne
must know how to model and draw
and he must have knowledge or
chemistry, so as to remove offending
spots. The work is executed in relief
on many kinds of hard or precious
stones, but essentially the chalcedonic
variety of quartz, and on shells. The
cameo cutter himself prefers onyx be-
cause of it's dark and light layers,
which throw out in bold relief a white
head, say. against a black background.
He evolves his picture by removing all
that portion of the white stratum re
naming after the head has been com
pleted Sapphire blocks are used, car
nalian, turquoise, amethyst and nu-
merous other stones. 1t takes about
one month to execute a portrait ON

ed If the work is done on she'll. There
is always great danger of the latte
breaking, and it's durability, too, is NO
great, so that she'll as a rule, is not
as desirable as the harder materials.
A portrait on onyx will cost 5000, while
one in shell may be had for $50. The
inquiries for these are rare, and build
ing up a patronage is slow, and is &C
accomplished mainly by satisfied GUS
toners influencing others.-New York

or in doing farm chores, require
hearty, tasteful food, and not toast and
tea. A dish piled with smoking hot
potato farci will exactly fill the bill.
Wash large potatoes and cut them
in halves the long way; scoop out the
centers, leaving just enough of the po-
tato to form a wall; fill with a mince
of any kind, brush over with beaten
eggs and bake till the potato is done.
This mince may consist of cold minced
fish mixed with crumbs and moistened
with white sauce, or of a mixture OF
mashed potato, cauliflower and grated
cheese, or mashed potatoes mixed with
minced veal, ham or fowl-in short, al
most any tiny remnant Of fish, flesh
or fowl may be worked up into a mince
with crumbs or mashed potatoes and
moistened with cream, gravy or white
or brown sauce.
Freshened salt cod, or a very little
crisp, fried bacon or salt pork, finely
minced, is particularly appetizing.
A great dish Of smothered potatoes
with hot toast and coca, followed by
hot gingerbread, is an ideal country
supper. Peel some white potatoes and
slice in a baking dish until nearly full,
seasoning each layer with bits of but
ter, salt, pepper, and just shake of
the flour dredger; cover with rich milk
and bake with an inverted dish on top
for half an hour; uncover and brown.
Carrots, Flemish style, is good ac-
compartment of cold slice beef a la
mode, or baked, or of a hot beef hash.
Cook the carrots with the skins on till
tender, adding pinch of carbonate of
soda to heighten the color; pare, cut
in dice, and for each pint of dice, add
a tablespoonful of butter, teaspoon
full of lemon juice, and as much minced
parsley and chives; season, toss over
the fire till very hot, and pour over
little sippets of toasted bread.

Why England Ignores Bolivia.

The minister OF the United States at
La Paz has for many years. represented
the interests Of the British government
in Bolivia, whereby hangs a curious
tale. During the reign of one Of the
several dictators who have ruled over
that unhappy country since its separa-
tion from Spain the British minister
and his family were invited to dine at
the palace, where they were received
by a woman for whom the British min
ister's wife had a dislike. The British
envoy retired from the palace with his
wife and daughters as soon as he rec
ognized his hostess and their places at
the table were vacant. The other
guests were not so fastidious. They
remained throughout the entertain
ment and afterward enjoyed a dance.
The next morning the minister called
upon the president and demanded an
apology for inviting his wife and
daughter to meet such a woman, which
the president refused to give, and
when the woman learned the object OF
his wish she furnished a practical IL
hath no fury like a woman scorned."
At her instance the president sent the
minister his passports and ordered him
to leave the capital at once, sending
a lieutenant and a file of soldiers to
escort him to the frontier. AS he was
passing fouts of the city he expressed
his indignation in such emphatic terms
that the lieutenant took him out OF
the stage and made him mount don
key with his face to its TAIL In that
way the envoy extraordinary OF her
British majesty left the capital Of Bo-
livia, jeered and hooted by a mob of
natives AS Bolivia was too small
country for England to punish Lord
Salisbury allowed the insult to pass
without retribution, but no minister or
consul has ever been sent to Bolivia
since, and it is not probable that one
ever will be.
Some years later, when President
Arco visited London to negotiate a
loan to pay for some. internal improve
ments, he called at the foreign office
with the hope of being able to restore
relations, but the minister of state for
foreign affairs told him politely that
her maJesty's government was not
aware of the existence of such coun-
try as Bolivia and pointed to a map
upon which it had been entirely
effaced.

turned and broke on the jump for the
wooded bank of the Alamosa creek, a
mile away. The bull chased him q
short distance, stopped to below and
gaze after him, then turned back to the
herd and promptly tried to start
fight with the polled angus and with
the young bull, but neither wanted
anything to do with him. Once safe
away from the bull, the jaguar slowed
his pace and trotted along toward the
timber, making good time with his
long, smooth, cat-footed stride. He
had got half way there when out from
the creek bottom, directly in front OF
him, five cowboys rode up over the
bank upon the plain. At once they
spread out and rode to head him off
from the timber. The jaguar made a
few bounds in the effort to get past
them, then as they surrounded him,
stopped and stood on his defense.
There was not firearm in the party,
and it was not easy for them to force
their horses near enough the jaguar to
use their lassos. At last one of them
a Mexican named Juan Ribera, letting
the loop of his lasso lie on the ground
caught the jaguars forelegs in the
moose, and setting spurs to his horse
rolled the beast upon his back and
dragged him. Other lassos quickly
caught the jaguar's neck and one hind
leg, and then, with the three ropes
pulling taut, the animal lay helpless
The question was debated of trying to
preserve him alive, but was settled by
one of the cowboys killing him with a
knife. I measured the jaguar and he
was just eight feet long. When l rode
away the cowboys were skinning him.
