ness for dogs of every degree, and
always kept great number of them
at his historic home Monte Cristo. He
cared nothing at all about canine oedi-
grees, and most of his pets were mongrel
ours rescued by him from starvation
and the gutter. Whenever he saw dog
that looked hungry and desolate he took
him home to Monte Cristo And SO his
establishment rapidly increased in size.
Upon one occasion when he already
had a dozen dogs he brought home an

TRADE AND THE FLAG.

The noncontiguous territory of the
United States is supplying a large and
growing market to the producers and
manufacturers of the United States. The
October statement of the treasury bu-
reau of statistics shows that the ship
ments of merchandise from the United
States to Porto Rico in the ten months
ending with October 1902. amounted to
practically $4,000 OOO-a million dollars
month-aginst Ga millions in the cores
ponding months of last year.
To the Philippines the shipments in
the ten months ending with October
were over four million dollars, against
a little over three million in the cores
ponding months of last year. and 2s4
in the same months of 1900
To the Hawaiian Islands the collec-
ton OF statistics of shipments was only
resumed with the month of .Iune. and
the figures therefore do not cover the
ten months period; but the annual ship
ments from the United States to the
Hawaiian Islands are estimated at
about $2O,0ooO00 per annum
To Alaska. the record of shipments
was begun with June. and amounted
during the four months ending with Oc-
tober to nearly $4,000. 900. The figure at
hand for these four noncontiguous ter
ritOries-Porto Rico, Hawaii the Philip
pines and Alaska-indicate that they will
furnish during the year about to end a
market for about 100000 worth of the
products of the United States, chiefly
agricultural and manufactured prod
ucts.
On the import side the report of the
bureau of statistics indicates that these
island territories are also contributing
largely to the growing demand of the
United States for tropical products. In
the ten months ending with October, the
shipments from Hawaii to the Ua..ed
States amounted in round terms to q
million collars. and those from Porto
Rico to the United States to nearly Q
millions, against 6lz millions in the COR
responding months of last year: while
from the Philippines the receipts were
over million dollars and from Alaska
over s million dollars. in the four
months ending in October. These fig
ures indicate that the annual contribu-
ton of tropical products by the tropical
territory under the control of the United
States will amount in the present year

Consumers Of coal oil and gasoline are
building up a great institution of learn
ing at Chicago. Not very long ago the
Standard Oil company advanced by one
cent a gallon the price Of it's product.
The advance was arbitrary and followed
previous advances of two and half
cents, per gallon, that have been in
augurated since the beginning of the
coal strike. This strike, of course very
greatly increased the demand for oil as
fuel. Last year it paid $4S, 900, 600 in
dividends to its stockholders, or As per
cent on its capitalization, while this
year, up to the first of December, it had
paid S45,OO0,00O in dividends. The last
advance of one cent per gallon is to
American consumers. Purchasers in
Russia. Burmah, Java or Dahomey are
not required to pay this because there is
competition from Russia abroad. All
this is interesting to users of oil because
