GEOGRAPHY FOR A PROFESSOR
Peaches Were seat over Along with the
WbaIe B1ubbs,r.


Canadians are very touchy on the
subject of climate. as Rudyard Kipling
discovered when he somewhat thought
lessly dubbed the dominion our Lady
of the Shows. says the Philadelphia
Post. When Arthur Strlnger, the young
Canadian poet and author. first went
to oxford, he carried with him letters
from Prof. Goldwln Smith Of Toronto
to Prof. York Powell. the distinguished
historian of Christ Church. This old
oxford don. like one or two other Eng
llshmen had very vague ideas about
Canada, and somewhat surprised the
young stranger By inquiring IL he got
along nicely on English roast mutton
after living so long on frozen seal meat.
The young poet grayely protested that
he perhaps missed his whale blubber
little, but the next day cabled home
and in less than a week the finest
basket of Autumn peaches ever grown
in Ontario, carefully packed In saw
dust, was on It's way to oxford. A short
time afterward the young author was
again dining with the Reglus profess
sor of Oxford. and that gentleman pro-
duced at the meal fruit dish loaded
with tremendous peaches. Most ex-
traordinary,' said the old professor,
but these peaches were sent to me to-
day. and I'm blessed II know who sent
them. From the south of France sus-
pect, so | saved few Of them for you,
Stringer: they viii be such novelty.
you know" The Canadian very quiet
ly took steamship company's bill OF
lading from his pocket and handed 1t to
the professor. The professor gazed at
the bill, then at the fruit then at the
poet. II had some whale blubber, too,
professor" said that young man, but
| simply had to cat that. These other
things were grown on my uucle's farm
in Kent county, Ontario, you know. He
has 200 bushels OF them every year
and he sent me over basket OF little
ones along with the whale blubber."

About four years ago London
blacksmith noticed on secondhand
bookstal very old book priced at 2
cents. He bought 1t, and after at
tempting to read 1t. threw 1t aside and
soon forgot It. One OF his dodgers
happening to see the book recently,
and, noticing that IL was dated 1850
asked permission to show 1t to the
British museum authorities. A day or
two later the blacksmith was request
ed to call, and the secretary. to his sur
prise. asked him what he would take
for the book. In some slight confus-
ion the man said. What will you
give?" "Will $3.50 suit you?" was the
answer of the secretary. The black
smith was so dumfounded that the
secretary thought he was ridiculing
his offer. and thereupon Immediately
increased IL to $500, which was at once
accepted. Sooner than have lost the
book. however, which was the first
book that Gutenberg ever printed, and,
therefore almost priceless. the mus
cum authorities would have paid al
most any sum that had been asked

is quoted j. J. Hills statement that
1--WE can build ships in this country as
we'll and as cheaply as they can be
built anywhere in the world. = This
statement is doubtless true. In fact it
has not been disputed from any quar-
ter, that we know of. But the matter
of building is not what is troubling
those interested in building up
American shipping interests. 1t is the
question of operating the ships after
they have been built. 1t costs more to
man an American ship than it does
those of foreign nations, hence our in
terests are at once placed at disad-
vantage in competition with them. A
carefully drawn subsidy bill would
overcome this difficulty, and for few
millions so paid out more than one
hundred millions could be saved to
the business interests of the nation
Certainly it would seem that such a
move would be good proposition.
But such a subsidy should carefully
provide for the building up of mer-
chant marine, and not look to the en-
richment of few.

COMMERCE OF CHINA.
Our Consul at Shanghai Reports
Astonishing Development.
Net Value of Import Trade In 1899 is
Double That of lS90.---The Exports
Show q Like Increase.

United States Consul General Good
now, at Shanghai, has transmitted to
the state department an interesting
statement concerning China's foreign
commerce last year which, the consul
says, was characterized by an aston
inshing development. The net value
of the import trade for 1899 was
$18S, 103, u.s. double that of 1890. The
importation of opium was over 1, 900, :
600 pounds in excess of the imports
during the preceding year. The trade
in cotton goods, which has pr actically
remained stationary for three years,
made great advance, rising from
$54, 300, 557 in 1898 to $53, 571, GIT. In
piece goods, a great increase in the
imports of American product was noted
although it was considerably checked
by the high prices ruling during the
last quarter of the year. On the other
hand, the consumption of American
kerosene was lessened throughout the
entire year by the higher price upon
it. The importation of sundries rose
from 500, G58, 1877 to $40, 318, 1876. The
share taken in this increase by ar
ticles of comfort and luxury is regard
ed by Conul General Goodnow as an
indicative of progress in wealth and
refinement. The value of the -four i'm
ported was So, 226, 136, and all of it
came from the United States. The
value of last year exports from China
is estimated at $139, 1O5 1873, and this
amount, as in the case of the imports,
is more than double that shown in
1890. China's exports, it is said, are
at present checked by price and in
ferior quality, due respectively to the
cost of transportation and heavy taxa
ton, and to adulteration and family
methods of preparation. Prices will
come down, and the demand for.
China's wares increase, says the con-
sui, when railways bring the goods
more cheaply, and the government take
steps to preventive adulteration now
rampant.
The expectation of tea to the United
States was 5000, 600 pounds in excess
of the amount sent over in 1898.
1T is a humiliating fact" says
Consul General. Goodnow, "that of the
total tonnage of vessels entering and
clearing from Chinese ports last year.
the United States only contributed
one per cent of the total tonnage en-
tering from foreign ports, the Ameri-
can flag foated over only three per
cent B"
