A Gin 80 Give.

1t is often difficult to decide what to
get your friends Tor holiday gifts. Here
is a suggestion:
Good morning, Jennie, have brought
you nice present" said Gertrude, as
she handed her friend neatly wrapped
package.
The pale, weary looking girl, who was
slowly recovering from severe illness,
opened the bundle and held up large
bottle of clear, rich medicine.
Hoods SarsaparIla!" she exclaimed.
II have been reading about it today and
wished had a bottle"
On New Years Day Jennie was able to
be out on the street, and to her friends
who remarked how we'll she was looking
she simply said, Hoods Sarsaparllla, y
and every one of them knew it was this
great medicine that had given back her
health.

Fire Insurance Barred.

As a result of the rectnt d, vastation Of
Port Limon, Costa Rica, bv fire, the Cos
ia Rican President, Yglesias, has issued
a decree the like of which has never been
known before in any country, or at any
period in the past. Holding the recent
Port Limon fire to have been the work
of men, who were over insured, the presl-
Dental decree positively prohibits any
fire insurance company from doing bus
mess in Costa Rca. The terms of the
prohibition admit of no evasion. 1t is
based upon the maxim that an ounce Of
prevention is worth pound Of cure, the
President b, ldiug hat if there had been
no insurance carried by Port Limon mer
chants there would have been no fire His
action has long been mt dtated, owing to
several serious conf4grations which
originated in San Jose business establish.
ments The Port Limon fire, which also
commenced in the business ST ction, mere
ly furnished the peg upon which the de-
cree is hung.
The deer ee, continuing, orders the
buildings ert cited to replace those destroy
ed in the Port Limon blaze to be con-
structed of fire proof material, brick and
corrugated iron. Further, the decree
provides that within the, period of two
years, every frame building now stand
ing in Port Limon must be replaced by
fre-proof structure. Penalties are pro-
vided for those who fail to comply with
the order.
The advices regarding the ratio of ex-
change on Costa Rican money shows a
marked improvement since the establish
ment of the gold standard on July Is.
Prior to that time an American dollar
was worth three Costa Rican dollars.
To-day an American dollar is only
worth $115 in Costa Rican money.
Costa Rican gold coins are being miuted
in Philadelphia, under contract.

Happy Islanders.
The People of Tahiti nt Last Secure a
Steamship Line to san Francisco.

Steamship Line TO san Francisco.
The Sun announced on Nov. 2 that the
pioneer vessel of new steamship line,
started by the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany, and subsidized by the Frer Oh Gov
eminent to ply b tween San Francisco
and Tahiti, had left that port for the is
lands on the prec, eding day The TACT
was not mentioned. however, that 1T
was only after the most urgent apptas
on the part OF the people OF Tahiti that
they secured this boon which they hope
will resuscitate the falling commercial
fortunes of their Islands.
Tahiti or the Society Archipelago lies
far east Of the main ste amship routes
across the Pacific. For many years there
has been monthly sailing vessel service
between San Francisco and the islands,
but it long ago became inadequate for
the needs OF the archipelago. The result
was that the trade OF Tahiti has not
even held its own and the commercial
movement fell off from 9 200 900 francs
in 1868 to less than 100000 in 1895
A while ago the islanders made an ap-
peal to the home COVE nuent. They
said the people were compl' tely DIS
couraged. They had prac ically ceased
TO raise cocoanuts and cotton because
they could not sell them. The transpor-
tatron was wholly inadequate, and as
many of the planters were certain to be
lett with crops on their hands nobody
cared to run the risk of raising commodi
ties to rot on their farms. They begged
the home government to authorize the
expenditure of a part of the colony's
revenue in the building of good roads
through the islands and in securing regu-
lar steamship communications with the
United States by means OF subsidy.
This appeal has borne fruit at last
The subsidy comes not from France, but
from the Tahiti government, which,
however, required authorization from
the home colonial Office before it could
appropriate the nee ssary money. The
steamship company is to receive $50 900
a year in gold and it is TO operate a
steamship of at least 8 900 tons, making
eleven round trips per annum, at an
average speed OF not less than thirteen
and one. half knots an hour. In addition
to carrying freight it must transport the
mails and furnish attractive passenger
accommodations. The people of the is
lands believe that this will become a
favorite route of travel when the charm
OF TIE climate and scenery of Tahiti are
bet tier known

English travell,rs," says London
correspondent OF The Boston Tran
script" have so jeered our advertising
outrages upon architecture and scenery
that l fancied we were OF all nations
most culpable But after seasons resi-
dence in England l hold America ex-
cused. Our advertising efforts are
mode st, even feeble, beside those of our
British cousins. A London bus is a
mere advertising van With accommoda-
tons tor passengers. 1t takes almost as
long to read one through as to read q
daily paper. The destination of the bus
is marked in inconsp,cuous letters, the
smallest on the canvas decorated vehicle
and the chances of disentangllng those
letters from the maze of advertising an
nouncements about them in time to hal
the bus you want is smaller STILL"

May Turn Night Into Day.

A New Orleans architect has advanc- cd the novel idea that within the next fifty years the people of every large southern city will do most of their sleeping by day. The reason of this is the increasing cheapness of artifi- cial light and the peculiar climatic con- ditions of the south, which make the night the coolest and most comfortable time to work. The author of this idea claims that darkness is one of the forces of nature against which civili- zation wages war; that it facilitates crime and impedes travel and puts arbitrary limits on human exertion."

MADE MONEY OA ROUND BALES,
Patrons of Roundlap Gin Plants Tell
 of Their Big Profits.

The past ginning season again demonstrated the ineemparable su- periority of The American Cotton Gompany's Roundlap bale. Not only were farmers benefited who had their cotton put up in Roundlap bales, but even the patrons of old- style gins profited by the presence of Roundlap competition.
 F"imers all over the cotton states irten letters to the owners
 a4alap plants telling of the pi ll that has come to them from hi.A ng their cotton put up in Rouadlap bales. Mr. ". F. Hart ley, Sr,, who patronized the Green vile, Ala, plant, wrote Feb. 3, 1900: "The most important point in the noundlap bale's favor to the farmer is the advance in price above that of the square bale. 1t has averaged the entire past season $2.00 per bale Lore than the square bale More than $5,000 has been placed in circu- lation by the advanced price caused by this one press.''
 Mir. F. M. Rogers also wrote from Gteenvile, Ala: "I have received from x to 1Aa cent per pound more than the market price here for square bales. The Roundlap bale is Godsend to the farmers, and has saved them thousands of dollars in few months.'
 Mr. J. D. Reilly, eentrevilie. Miss, wrote Dec. f, 1899: Another adyan- tage to the farm CTS is that Ronnd- lap cotton brings such a good ptiee that the buyers of square cotton have been forced to put their prices up. Thus all the farmers are bene- fitted in town where there is R0undlap press.
