pitiful thing is that same baby,

unknown Parts Of the Earth

RIGA: will probably be repeated for
many years. A territory little known
is between the Niger in the south, the
chain of oasis of the Tidikelt in the
north. the route OF LEM in the west,
and the routes OF Berth and Duvey-
riers in the east. Much remains to be
done in the Congo state. Here the
courses of the larger rivers have been
surveyed, but the vast territory be-
tween the water courses Is unknown.
Hard work for the courageous travel
ers also is required to explore the re-
gion of the sources of the Congo and
the adjoining part of British Central
Africa, Portuguese, West Africa and
British East Africa. The south OF
Madagascar is also unknown.

Advantages accruing from a recent
heavy rainfall in western Texas have
been largely Offset by the fact that
the unusual supply of moisture has
greatly increased the growth of the
loco weed. Many horses and cattle
have died from eating his insidiously
poisonous weed. Exactly what the
element of poison in this weed is has
never been fully determined.
The rush of immigrants is greater
Just now than at any time since 1892,
over 100000 having been registered
already this year in New York. The
present increase comes from southern
Europe, especially Italy. A railroad
official says the immigrant traffic on
western lines is double what it was a
year ago. There is less tendency to
herd in the large cities.
Attempts will soon be made by Cali
fornia merchants to put fresh aspara-
gus on the market in London and
other places in Great Britain. The
California navel oranges are growing
in favor in England and are being
much appreciated. 1t is expected that
California asparagus will compete
with French asparagus. which is sent
TO England in large quantities.
In Australia a novel idea has been
introduced for wedding out the man

dance, and any man who cannot pro-
duce a fair percentage of coupons is
refused admission to the supper room.

Immense orade Befance.

British and continental customers OF
our manufacturers, who desire SO
much to have their American pur-
chases kept secret. will find little con-
ISOLATION in the annual report of our
export trade. He predicts that the Of
ncial exhibit to be made public on Jan.
1, 1901. will show that the exports OF
the United States for 1900 will exceed
those of 1899 by about $500, 900, 900, and
that the total value of our exports for
the present ear will be not less than
$1,000, oO0, 900. Furthermore, he adds
experts now figure for 1900 an appar-
ent trade balance of about $3.50. O0O, 600

In a recent address by Lyman E.
Cooley before the engineering class in
the University of Michigan he said:
Eventually the interior cities Of the
country will be sapped of their trade
unless the sea can be brought to their

and unexpected as coming from
Of the most distinguished experts in
the exact science Of engineering.
The interior cities cannot be slapped

sources of production in every article

are the centers at which are collected

Sensational Occurrence at an English
Bridal Altar.
That is a touchingly beautiful story
which comes by cable from London,
telling how an English nobleman,
blind from childhood. has his sight re-
stored just as he was leading his bride
to the altar and then and there saw
her for the first time. The sentimental
value of the story is made complete
by the fact that the bridegroom was
drawn more deeply in love than ever
by this sudden vision of his bride in
all her loneliness OF maidenly bushes,
orange blossoms and wedding gown of
angelic white. He had wooed and won
her sight unseen" as the c~hildren's
old nursery game has it, but she
turned out to be even fairer than his
fancy had painted her. He had made
no mistake in buying "a pig in a
poke" If so homely a comparison is
permissible where a bride is con-
cerned. observes the st. Louis Repub-
lie. Impassioned poets and fervid nov
elists of the ultra-romantic school will
not fail to make timely and effective
use of this fascinating incident from
real life, The shelf-worn cynic of the
great world. however, may not be SO
deeply impressed. He is fully capable
of claiming that the recent London
case is by no means the first on record,
where a mans eyes were opened b.
marriage.
