Manufacturers and Recfuroci,v.

When the manufacturers Of PhiIa-
delphia begin to advocate reciprocity.
IL is fairly good evidence that public
opinion in this country is making sub
stantial advances in the direction az
a true commercial policy. Probably no
city in the Union has been more di-
rectly benefited by protective tariffs
than Philadelphia. Such tariffs are
always unequal in their operation

others are Impoverished, or at least.

= missionary to Tibet.

A pretty and peuniless young lady Of
/ Indianapolis has announced her iuten-
/ tion OF going as missionary 10 I'll

/ but expects that il VIII be supplied by
. faith. She says she has call. and that
/ Providence viii provide her with money
/ and clothes. She has gotten as far as
! Muncir. Indiana. and is staying at the
/ house Of a lady In the town until Prov
J ideHce sees fit TO cash her cheek. 50 To
/ speak.
/ She has studied music, and expects
when she reaches Tibet To pray and
| sing before the walls until they rise and
allow her 10 enter" The phraseOIogy is
! her own. She evidently has the idea
/ that Tibet is surrounded by a sort OF
| Chinese wall, over which people are ex
pected 20 climb. The study Of Geogra-
! ply is unnecessary to a person with d
call
She says she was cured Of q recent
illness through faith. and that her
/ stepfather told her that she must either
give up religious work or leave home.
| II the kind Of religious work in which
| she was engaged consisted in singing
| before walls which were expected 20 fall
! down perhaps the stepfather might be
| held eEcUsahle for his decree.
Apparently the young lady selected
| Tibet as her field Of labor because il
has been known as an Inaccessible
country. 1t will be remembered that
explorers with all advantages Of equip
ment. experience in travel. and kn0wI-
edge Of the country and languages of
Central Asia have not succeeded in pen
etrating beyond the outskirts. This
damsel eTrant has no clothes for the ex-
tremely wintry climate, no horses, no
provisions, no money, and no iuterpre-
ter. She does not know Tibetan or
Hindustani. or Pushtu or Puniabi. or
any Of the dialects spoken in the neigh
borhoOd through which she expects 10
travel 1t is doubtful if she even knows
what they are All that she has at
present is unlimited faith and a Bible
and hymn-book. These things. II is
true, form the foundation Of missionary
work, but the average aspirant for such
tolls endeavors to learn the language Of
the people as soon as he finds out where

then he sometimes falls into linguistic

GERMAN LEATHER INDUSTRY.
Exports to the United states steadily
Decrease for Ten Years.

The State Department has received
from Walter Schumann. the United States
Consul at Mainz. some important data
concerning the leather industry Of Ger
many. Mr.. Schumann says:
I'm my recent report on the German
leather Industry. / stated that IL was
struggling against great odds 10 hold it's
own, and was becoming less profitable
from year 10 year German trade papers
having questioned the accuracy Of these
statements, ] submit herewith statistics
and excerpts from the yearly report OF a
chamber Of commerce in this vicinity.
The exports OF leather from this dis
trict 10 the United States for the past ten
years are as follows: Year ended June

our view, the new tariff rates for Arneri-
