Trade" in the March Contemporary
Take some figures for the lest decade
1sS9-1S9S. England's aggregate inter-
changes. export and import, with great
industrial communities were as fol-
lows:
The British colonies. FL ,7SS,OoO'Ooo

Germany ........... $50 oZ1'ooV'ooo
France ..... 6S2,000, 900

Thus Englands colonial trade shows
an excess of 1883 900, 900 over her Uni
ted States trade, an excess of f924,OOO,-
coo over that with Germany, and OF
Ct LOG 600 600 over the French trade in
a space of ten years. The contrast is
still more striking if one divides the
aggregates according to exports and
imnorts. 1t is we'll known how Eng
lands sales to European nations
dwindle year by year under the opera
ton of hostile tariffs and commercial
restrictions. Take the United states
for the period under review. Her ae-
count gives the following results:

The duel in Italy has been very
deadly Of late. It is estimated that
during the past year 2.400 duels were
fought in the kingdom, which yielded
q crop Of 4S0 deaths. The Chinese way
of getting even" is more civilized on
the whole. The enraged inhabitant OF
the celestial empire Is as likely az
not to commit suicide on his enemy'a
doorstep, in order to do him as great
an injury as possible. And a suicide
under those circumstances in China
really does throw the foe into a ter
rible funk, owing to the supposed
bad luck such an incident brings to
the householder.

A high Official in Porto Rico says
that eighteen months ago there were
known to be three thousand cases Of
smallpox on the island; in the past
eight months not a single death from
the disease has been reported to the
board Of health. What has wrought
the change? The answer may be read
in the fact that the names Of nearly
eight hundred thousand persons are
recorded on the vaccination list of the
board.
