Herat the Key 70 India.

Herat has been besieged more times
than any place IN the world. If the sieges
are accurately counted the result is fifty.
two. 1t was the capital of Timur it was
fought for by the Mohammedans, by the
Persians, by the ameers of Kabul and
there was always an ameer of Herat
anxious to regain his patrimony. The
years when Herat has not seen fighting
have been rare, and Herat is a very old
town.
During the present century it has beer
unsuccessfully besieged in 1887 and 1895
by the Persians and taken by them il
1856. regained by Dost Mohammed, ameel
of Kabul, in 1868; lost by him to an
ameer of Herat and regained by him in
1881 under the late ameer, Abdurrah.
man Khan.
Since the Russians seize, k'lybcr pass
1t has been only a matter ni iint and
opportunity for the Russian occupation
of Herat The Khyber pass is the point
of real strategic value in this region. The
Russian railroad from the Caspian TO the
base of the Pamirs insures Russa's abili-
ty to hold this point, or at least to make
1t very costly achievement to wrest il
from her.
Herat is only about sixty miles south
of this railroad. Russia has never seen
fit to move in this direction, but if al
any time ii were necessary to her plans
it could be occupied with little trouble.
Great Britain has twice invaded the
territory of Afghanistan, but in 1886
Abdul Rahman Khan, a grandson of the
Dost Mohammed, repulsed the British
and formed an independent government
whose stability is guaranteed by inter
tapping treaties with himself by Russia
aud Great Britain.

Bic Trade in Manchuria

Commercial Agent II. II. Greener of
Vladivostock writes that Manchuria has
an area of 100000 square miles and is
one of the most fertile countries on the
globe. There are no better crops in all
Asia. The Manchus have barely
scratched the surface, and yet the bust
ness activity, the actual traffic and the
most tangible results are a continual sur
prise. Well-informed persons-mer-
chants, miners, otficers-assert that it is
richer in resources than any other part
of China. The main roads leading south
and north are said to be congested with
the crowds of carts, people and beasts
of burden, all heavily laden, moving in
the early winter.
During the whole period of navigation
on the river from Niuchwang north
thousands of Chinese boats are contip-
ually plying. The volume of business
done is estimated at from 100000 +"
S1O0.O00,000: and yet no part of the
land is worked according to European
methods and only the least portion Of
it is cultivated. Millet, beans, wheat
hemp, indigo and opium are the princj-
pal products cultivated.

WHERE THE FARMER COMES IN.
His Prosperity is Essential to the
Iron and Steel Trade.

Two large factors in the increasing iron
trade of this country are the agricultur-
al implement industry and railroad sup
plies for construction, operation and
maintenance. and the fact is not to be
overlooked that the railroad prosperity
of the country depends largely upon the
agricultural prosperity of the contribute
ing territory, SO that, ultimately, more
than is often recognized and acknowi-
edged, the general prosperity of the work
ing classes goes back behind immediate,
apparent causes, and finds its source in
the conditions that produce abundant
harvests and develop the fertility of the
soil.
The manufacturer is producer, so
also is the farmer; the manufacturer
makes for the farmer his implements for
cultivation of the soil and harvesting
crops, aud in so far as he docs this he is
a farm laborer. The railroads carry the
product of the farms to distant markets,
and they, too, serve the farmers and are
helpers toward his prosperity.
And both the manufacturers and the
railroads employ millions of people who
depend upon the farm products for sus-
tenance, and pay from their wages to-
ward the prosperity and rewards of the
farmer. Primarily, prosperity is q ques-
tion of foods and raiment We all go
back to the earth for these supplies and
to so great an extent do we do this, Sc
constantly and so universally, that we
speak of King Cotton and King Corn
and sometimes of cattle kings, because
we are dependent absolutely on what
these terms stand for.
More now than ever before do the bust
ness interests of the country dovetail one
with another, and more now than ever
before does any injury that affects one
affect them all-Providence Telegram.

GIANT FUCHSIA PLANT.

The largest and most magni6cort

beautiful flowers in every stage Of H.

broader but for the fact that it has IN

remarkable thing is that when the plant

in full foliage and still loaded with bios
SONS. Uprooting almost any plant in
this condition would prove fatal. but the
fuchsia takes it all as matter of course
and soon after it is housed the leaves
and flowers fade and drop off and the
plant goes to sleep. AS soon as it feels
the breath of spring it begins to put forth
tender shoots in profusion, as a hint that
it wants to get out of doors. When il is
planted out it starts in growing and

FRENCHMAN WANTED SLEEPS.

a young Frenchmau, recently arrived

where most of the bOarders were of long
residence ana were well acquainted-al
most as members of family. The
frehchman was n bright. Intelligent, gen

Fellowship very soon. One night a little
poker game was started-a penny ante
game, or something of the kind The
trenchman took TO it very quickly and
found II very fascinating. Tie next day
ne determined TO purchase for himself a
poker OUTFIT to take back with him to

went to large department store and
asked II they had some shesps."

the young woman, land they are very

her, and She added: 'Of course, if you

over to counter on which were piled

There you are!' she exclaimed tri-
umphantly.

BY this time it began to be the general
impression on the floor that the man was
crazy, and this was strengthened by his
explanation that he wanted the Sleeps"

They must keep a boarding house. -
whispered one girl to another, "and he

Our Growing Paper Trade.

The United States, the greatest paper

the one in which there is the greatest de.

OF recent years, however. the American
manufacturer has begun to reach out for
his share of the trade in foreign markets.
In the year 1897 American exports of
paper. manufactures Of paper and wood
pulp were valued at S4.7T5,370; in 1898
they had advanced To S6164,17S and in
