That was a great symposium on
trade In The far east that was evolved
at the annual dinner Of the American
Aslatic Association. held in New York
city. Among those present was the
minister from China to this country,
and portions Of the address he made
were deeply significant as bearing on
the subject that is now uppermost in
the minds of the American people with
regard to China and our position in the
Philippines In the course Of his re-
marks he said: China has a popula-
ton Of 4oo.OOO.O0O. These people have
to be fed, they need the different prod
ucts Of your states. Therefore. China
is one Of the greatest countries for you
to cultivate. This country is a grand
commercial field for your country, and
with your new possessions practically
at the very door of China you should
be able to command and hold the trade
Of the east. Therefore, China is for
you. but II you do not look out others
will be before you"
Is 1t not well enough to heed such
notes of warning from a man who
knows what he Is talking about rather

his followers would have US vacate

them by simply declaring that after a

to see this proposition discussed. 1t is

In speaking of the character Of In

his weekly letter on conditions In Wall
street. makes some radical distinctions
in. favor Of railroad securities COM
pared with INFLATED industrials. He
shows that at present the railroads are
experiencing the beneft OF the coun-
trys prosperity to a wonderful degree,
and that they are likely to still further
Increase their earnings. According to
the Chronicle. 10 roads in the twelve
months Of 1899. and 50 roads in eleven
mozths earned Sl.siOOOO,OOO an Increase
Of s1i4.5OO. Co., or about 10 per cent.
over the previous year. These are stu
pendous figures. but n the companions
were made with 1895 or 1885 they would
be still more astonishing. They mean
that the most important industry In
the country has been transferred from
a condition Of uncertainty two or three
years ago to one Of soundness and
strength. As investments or as specu-
latlve purchases there ls no class OF
securities that offers better induce
mcnts than those of the railroads They
are the safest and the surcst OF reason-
able profits.
Mr.. Clewd does not believe all elasPes
OF industrlals are unworthy OF con-
fidence In their character Of invest
ments, but he points out that many of
them are untrled. and that. at present,
they are sustained by profits which
probably cannot continue. and many
Of them are highly inflated. There

One OF the Hypochondriacs read the
other day q dissertation upon the
germs that Turk in the palms Of the
hands and the consequent evils OF the
custom OF handshaklng. The medical
Journal which gave expression to these
views was nearly worn out in going the
rounds, and the NOn-ShRkers Is the
natural outcome. The Non-shakers Is

We do not believe either gentleman
will be startllngly successful in his

on a bid for cheap notoriety.

The temperance lecturer, John b.

addresses to refer to the indIscrimi-

There's nothing succeeds like sue
cess, as evidenced by the fact that the
great Boston Herald, gratified by the
results obtained from the publication
of 1.-THE Best Women's Page in
America" in the evening edition, has
decided to give the readers of the
morning edition the advantage Of
this great feature. Hereafter, readers
of the morning edition of the Boston
Herald will find "The Best Women's
Page in America" as attractive as the
readers of the evening edition have
n the past. No such effort is put
forth by any newspaper in the country
in catering to that great class of news
paper readers; certainly no paper has
made such a reputation in this field.

it kind1es gloom into glow; it turns
requiem into grand march, it trusts
when it cannot understand; it forgives
before forgiveness is asked. Gracious
God, give it to us now; give it to us in
abundance!
Turn Over a New Leaf.
Now let us this hour turn over a new
leaf and Danish wOrriment and care
out of all our lives. Just see how these
perversities have multiplied wrinkles
in your face and acidulated your dis
position and torn your nerves. You are
ten years older than you ought to be.
Do two things-one for the betterment
of your spiritual condition and the 9TH
er for the safety of your worldly inter-
ests. First get your heart right with
God by being pardOned through the
atonement of Jesus Christ. That will
give security for your souls welfare.
Then get your life insured in some well
established life insurance company.
That will take from you all anxiety
about the welfare of your household
in the case of your sudden demise.
Supposing that these two duties are
attended to, the one for the safety of
your soul in this world and the next
and the other for the safety of your
family if you pass out of this life,
make a new start. If possible, have
your family sitting room where you
can let in the sunlight. Have a music
al instrument if you can afford it
harp or piano or bass viol or parlor or
gan. Learn how to play on it yourself
or have your children learn how to
play on it. Let bright coIOrs dominate
in your room. If there are pictures on
the wall, let them not be suggestive Of
battlefeldS which are always cruel, Of
deathbeds which are always sad or
partings which are always heartbreak-
ing. There are enough present woes
in the world without the perpetual
cOmmemOration of past miseries. If
you sing in your home or your church,
do not always choose tunes in long me-
ter. Far better to have your patience
augmented by the consideration that
the misfortunes of this life must soon
terminate.
