THE DEGREE HE PREFERRED.
One of Those of Which He Had the Smallest Number Was the
 Bishops Choice.

A prominent university had invited a distinguished eccleSiaStic to be present at its commencement exer- cises and to deliver an address. After he had signifed his acceptance of the invitation the university authorities thought that it would be a very graceful act on their part to show their appreciation of his presence by conferring upon him an honorary degree, and so in order to arrange the matter in proper form they dele- gated one of their number to visit the bishop and notify him of their intentions, relates The Bookman.
 The person selected for this mis- sion was callow young professor who had not long occupied his chair, and who still regarded his university as representing pretty nearly all the world that counts and portion of the rest of the universe besides. He was immensely impressed with the importance of this mission and with the general tremendousness of the honor which he was going to an- nounce. Reaching the city where the bishop lived he went to the episcopal residence and, after sending in his card, was ushered into the bishops study. With bated breath and many circumlocutions, lest the bishop should be too much overcome if the news were sprung upon him without a certain amount of preparation, he delivered the message with which he had been charged.
 ssI have also to inform you" he added, ssthat the university will con- suit your preference in the matter of the degree and will confer upon you the one that you would most. de- sire to have"
 "Ohl' said the bishop. "Let me see. What particular degree did they have in mind?"
 "Of course the very highest-one which belongs to the doctorate: LL. D., D. D., s. T. D. or D. c. l."
 "Well,'' said the bishop, looking out of the window and then at his watch, suppose you make it D. c. L. I think I have fewer of those than of the other kinds.'
 It took the callow young professor a long time to recover from the shock, but when he came to think it over it probably taught him some- thing he had never known before.

Among our agricultural imports for 1900 there were 12 items with values exceeding $5,O0O,O00, as follows: Sugar, hides and skins, coffee, silk, vegetable fibers, wools, fruits and nuts, tobacco, tea, wines, vegetable oils and cocoa.
 The figures are as follows:

Great is the humor of woman-when she doesn't mean it. Great is the nerve of woman-when she doesn't need it. And great are the nerves of woman-when it so pleases her. This combinations blamable for the follow ing: A very pretty girl sat in Long Island railroad train enroute for Man. haitian Beach. Suddenly the whistle blew. It is perhaps not necessary to say that Long Island railroad whistle is more efficacious than otherwise. It is tuned to the key of W and is operat- ed with great diapason giving out a different brand of yelping shriek from anything known to nature. To repeat, the whistle whistled. "Oooow," cried the pretty girl. Isn't it awful? I should think the railroad company would have those things oiled. It is an outragel'' Her companion had often heard of wetting whistles, but never heard before of oiling them. Think it over.-Brooklyn Times.

These figures were the largest of the past five years, excepting the record for 1897, which amounted to $41, 1858 ,O0O. r Oufsa agficdlvuFapi apihp5r tsfrom Japan increased quite noticeably during the last few years, advancing from $1S,- 3s2,o00 in 1896 to SPA, ,767 O00 in 1900. The value for the latter year was the highest ever recorded, and made that country sixth in rank among the sources of our agricultural import trade.
 The Chinese empire stood seventh in this regard. Our agricultural inn ports from China almost kept pace with those from Japan, the value re- turned for 1900 being SPA, ,131, ,0O0. From France we purchased farm produce worth $21 ,O52, ,o0o in 1900. that country ranking eighth in importance. The figures for 1900 were the largest of the last five years, although nearly equaled in 1897.
 Unusually large shipments of agri- cultural produce were received from Hawaii during 1900, the value amount ing to $20, 0,638, ,000, which was decidedly in excess of any previous record. Our agricultural imports from the islands during 1896 were valued at only $11,- | F n among the sources of supply.

 Another country from which the United States received agricultural im- ports worth over S2O, ,OO0, 900 in 1900 was Mexico, which furnished us with farm produce to the value of $20, ,OO2, ,OOO. The importations from Mexico increased rapidly during the five years, the rec ord for 1896 being only $12,751 ,00O.
 After the II sources just enumer- ated the largest import records of 1900 were made in our trade with the Brit ish East Indies and the British West Indies. Other sources from which we received agricultural imports exceed ing 5000, ,O00 in value during 1900 were Canada, Egypt, the Netherlands, Ar gentina, the Philippine islands and Venezuela.

And He Spake a Mess.

A republican editor rises to remark:
"through Mr.. Bryan's paper runs the
idea that the American people are di-
vided into two classes and that he is
the champion of the deserving side.
The part of population which he con-
dems is pretty numerous on election
day" Ane having "spoken" this edi-
tor sits down in very great shape, evil
IDENTIFY believing he has perpetuated
parable on an unsurpecting and long
suffering public. But this mess, like
many Others inflicted by the republ-
can editor on much enduring public,
while it looks well enough on the sur
face it won't bear probing. Cold facts
knock it into very bad pie.
This republican editor has it right
when he has it that the American peo.
pie are divided into two classes but he
tumbles down when he undertakes to
say who did it. We don't mind telling
him that it is the republican party
which by its class and sectional legisla-
ton has divided the American people
into two classes: those who have the
favors of the government, and those
at whose expense the favors are confer
ed. And that this division is speedily
leading up to an other division OF the
American people into two classes: ex-
treme wealth and extreme poverty, the
middle class gradually dropping out.
Mr.. Bryan and others can but accept
tho division as it is, thus made and
must necessarily speak of it in protest
ing against it. Those who knew Mr..
Bryan as candidate and speaker will
not have any difficulty in believing that
as editor he "championed" the deserv-
ing side, the side of the victims of re-
publican class and sectional legislation
who deserves fair treatment, something
quite different from what they are get
ting. In doing this he champions"
the side of millions of people who vote
the republican ticket. Indeed the fact
that so many "victims" vote the re-
publican ticket abundantly accounts
for the "numerosity of that vote on
election day.
Mr.. Bryan has shown little disposi-
ton to condemn any part OF the popu-
lation. The parts deserving condem-
nation are those who desire class legis-
lation, those who give it and those who
vote for it against the interests of them
selves and families. The first two had
just as well be given over to hardness
of heart and perversity of conduct and
the third can only be influenced byrea-
