CONCESSION ADEQUATE.

Should Congress decide to make a
concession in tariff duties on Cuban
products it is to be hoped for the good
name of this Government that the per-
centage finally agreed upon may be
adequate to shield Cuba from the CON-
mercial and industrial calamity which
now threatens that island.
The trick of agreeing upon a con
cession which, while not meaning relief
for the Cubans, would yet seem 20
constitute fultillment of our national
pledge of protection for Cuban interests,
wonld be an inexpressibly contemplate
trick.
One hesitates 10 believe that Ameri-
can Representatives, dealing with a
little and helpless people utterly de-
pendent upon our good faith, would be
guilty OF so cunning and so cowardly an
evasion.

HOW THE CHINESE GET RAIN
Peculiar Practices In Vogue I'm the
Celestial KlnRdom.

Peculiar Practices In Vogue I'm the
Celestial Kingdom.
1t is one Of the peculiarlties Of ths
Chinese that. while they have develop
I'd elaborate phiiosophies, none Of them
has led to any confidence IN the uni
'ormity OF neture. Neither the people
nor their rulers have any fixed opinion
as to the causes OF rainfall. The plan
IN some provinces when the need OF
rain Is felt Is to borrow god from n
belghboring district and petition him
FOR the desired rain. II his answer Is
satisfactory, he is returned to his home
with every mark of honor; otherwise
he may be put out in the sun as hint
to wake up and do his duty. A bunch
Of willow IL usually thrust into bis
hand, as willow Is sensitive to mois.
eure.
Another plan In extensive use Is the
building Of special temples In which
arc wells containing several iron tab.
lets. When there Is scarcity of rain
messenger starts out with tablet
marked with the date of the Journey
and the name OF the district making
the petition. Arriving at another city.
he pays sum Of money and is allow.
ed 10 draw new tablet from the well,
throwing in his own by way of ex-
change. On the return journey he is
supposed to eat only bran and travel
at top speed day and night. Some.
times he passes through districts as
greatly In need OF rain as his own.
Then the people in these places way
lay him and, temporarily borrowing his
tablet, get the rain intended for anoth-
er place.
Prayers are usually made In the fifth
and sixth months when the rainfall IS
always due, and limit Of ten days
Is set for their effective operation. I'm
der such conditions rain usually falls
during the prescribed time. When the
prayers are In progress, the umbrella,
among other objects, comes under the
ban. In some provinces foreigners
have been mobbed for carrying this
harmless article at that time.
