1t has become evident, according to the
Art Amateur for February that the only
way to raise the necessary money for The
Dewey Arch is by a popular national sub
scription, to which everybody may con
tribute; and the magazine, in it's February
number, undertakes to be the first peri
odical to start such a subscription. It
will accept all sums, large or small, will
publish the donors names and the
amount of their subscriptions, aud will
bank the money received until such time
as it can be used for the actual coustruc-
ton of the arch" 1t adds that sIt is

with the govt. A young lady. one of his
pupils, got her father TO obtain him "a
pension from the king. and she wa de-
puted to present it TO him. She ran up
to his chair, her eyes sparkling with
JOY. and put it into his hand.

Grcat Foreign Trade.

An expectation of forty million dol
lars worth of manufactures in thirty
days is a record unparalleled for Amer
lean manufactures. That is the record
for the month of April, 1900. The de-
tails of the April eNportations-just
completed by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics-slow that the expectation
of manufactures during that month
We're by far the greatest of any month
in our history, and within a fraction of
forty million dollars. This gives as
uranc that the exports of the fiscal
year, which ends with June. will con-
siderably exceed 400 million dollars
and be nearly three times as much as
n decade ago. This phenomenal in
crease in expectation of manufactures
is especially striking when compared
with the progress made by European
nations, our rivals, in the attempt to
supply the worlds market with manu-
featured goods. Great Britain's ex-
ports of manufactures show but slight
increase since 1890, and an eXamina-
ton of the export record Of the prin-
cipal European countries fails to dis
close an instance in which the increase
has been as much as % per cent. while
that of the United States. meanwhile,
has been more than $50 per cent.

Sims" called ont Eastwood, hugh

Now, Sims was considerable of Il char
acter in his way, as was also Minso-
Bingo in his way. and. chiefly by reason,
perhaps. of their both having been per-
mittrd TO issue ont of their natural
sphere into the aristocratic precincts of
the quarterback. Il species of nntugon-
ism had arisen between them almost from
the outset of the voyage. Each consil-
cred himself Il privileged exception to
long-cstablishcd caste rules, and each.
ut the same time, considered himself as
much superior to the other. though the
African experienced this feeling much
more go%od-natmrcd!y than the other. and
their rivalry was. therefore, as comical
