There are few countries which cOnte:t
with simply sending a consul to this city. Great
Britain Germany France, Russia and Italy
have onsuls-general, cOnsus, vice-cOnsuls and
chancellors. although the titles differ slightly in
several instances. Several small far away coun-
tries are represented by Americans who ar ac
quainted with the countries. Corea, Siam and
Persia are examples Hawaii formerly rep
resented in this way. Every South and Central
American republic has from to four con-
sular representatives here, and most of them
are kept busy.
The duties of consul and his assistants and
the services performed by the consulate are
many and varied. They differ. too with differ
ent countries. For instance. much of the busi-
ness of the French. German and English con-
sulates has to do with ships and shipping,
while the Chinese and Japanese consulates have
never cleared ship since they We're created.
1t is obvious that the countries having a large
number of citizens resident in this city would
have the busiest consuates. This fact makes
the Italian consulate in lower Broadway

to stand in a row and await a strenuous Next
from the cle,ks. The Japanese consul is chiefly
interested in exports and imports, but supplies
his government with much valuable information
regarding developments in New-YOrk along ev-
cry line. Zadazuchi Uchida. who has been con-
sui for four and a half years, has just returned
to Japan to take a more important post His
successor will arrive in August. The consul
general of His Majesty the King of Spain, jose
de Navarro Lopez de Oyala, has been busy
since his arrival in the city. at the clos.
OF the war. His chief aim has been to build up
the shattered commercial relations between the
two countries

The canal boat carries coal and grain. while the
ice boat carries ice. They have everything else

sides little cabin at the stern and a general
effect much like big. long box. There was
a time when ice boats were expensive affairs.

were supposed to prevent melting. This style
OF craft abandoned account of the cost
The summer ice boats never come down the
Hudson alone They have company of half
dozen others Of their kind and are shown the
way by fussy little tugs There are at least
thirty landing places for ice boats on the East
River and North River fronts. At each land
ing place is a long platform. known to the trade
ice bridge. 1T is just the height of the
heavy ice wagons. The blush white chunks are
lifted from the boats by steam or horse power
and slid from the ice bridge into the
wagons
At 3 O'Clock in the morning the first ice
wagons back up to the ice bridge. receive their
heavy loads. and go laundering away over the
cobblestones to supply the larger customers
At O'clock the bulk Of the wagons appear, and
with much noise receive the loads, which will
be chopped into small pieces and delivered to
the retail customers. The wagons return at in
tcrvals throughout the morning and afternoon
il the weather is particularly hot, some of them
will not be through until 10 O'Clock at night. III
the weather is COOL the iceman's day may end
at O'Clock in the afternoon.
For the next three months the cemen will be
among the hardest worked individuals in the
city. They are living contradiction to the
old saying, Isn't il nice TO be iceman?' That
may nave been intended for the stockholders
who receive the profits; but for the men who
deliver the ice-the real icemen-never. They
are poorly paid. too. Two men are assigned to
every wagon. the driver getting Sl4 week and

The post of consul-general at New-York is

city appears in the same light. \ consul who
makes a successful record in New-York general

turn home"
If the cOnsuls like New York the city has no
reason to he dissatisfied with the consus. at
least with the number of them. for there are more
countries represented here than at any other
port in the United States. There are forty-one
or fOrty-two consuls in all-twenty-three sent
out by republics and eighteen by monarchies
The Orange Free State representative has not
yet made up his mind as to whether his duties
are ended The Transvaal is of the few
republics which have not regular representa-

compared to the foreign ministers at Washing

their superiors at Washington in the Importance
Of the duties they perform for their govern
ments and they are often called to the capital
to consult on important affairs. For the most
part they will seldom speak about public ques-

ington representative. While the legations at
Peking were besieged by the Boxers a score of
reporters called at the Chinese consulate every
day. Every known pretext used TO gain
audience with Corsul Chow Tsz Chi. but it
would have been easy to the old Empress
Dowager. At the beginning of the trouble he
announced that he would say absolutely nothing

from all sides. The action of the frost
centrates the impurities in the centre of the

ties are forced out of the cake altogether There
is need of worry, for your dividends are sure
for a long time to come
