GROWING TRADE WITH ASIA.

Exports from the United States TO
Asia are showing a greater gain in the
present year than those to any other
part OF the world The latest reports o.
the treasury bureau of statistics show
an increase H. the exports to nearly
every division of Asia during the 10
months ending with April. while to South
America they show a decrease in the ex-
ports to nearly every division. To the
Dutch East Indies the figures show an
Increase of from s1,491.142 in the 10
months of 1901 to 81 6ss 195 IN 10 months
of the present fiscal year; to Hong
Kong. from $685., 70s to 1896, 27O to ia
pan, from S15,l1S,532 to S1S.9S1 $50, and
to China. from S742a 348 to 500 163. 12S.
To China our exports for the fun fiscal
year seem likely to exceed those Of any
preceding year. and to Japan they win
exceed those Of any previous year ex-
cept 1900. which was exceptional because
of the large purchases of cotton made
in the United States in that year for
the Japanese market.
Our exports to China, which in 1892
We're IS, 663 4s7. seem likely to be nearly
or quite s25. 600 900 in 1902. To Japan our
exports In 1892 were $3.50 Ill, and in
1902 seem likely to be $4,000, COO To
Hong Kong our exports during 1892 were
s4 s94, 049. and I'm 1902 seem likely to be
about IS 800 O00 To the British East
Indies our exports in 1892 were s3.674.s07,
and in 1902 viii be about 100000 To
the Dutch East Indies they were in 1892
81, 372 O35. and in 1902 viii be about So
600. 900. To the Russian possessions in
Asia our exports in 1892 were 1920. 200,
and those Of 1902 win considerably ex-
coed a million dollars To all of Asia
our exports in 1892 were s19.5s0,350, and
in 1902 they win aggregate about $685.,

To Oceania the actual growth Of our
exports is not so readily preceptible be
cause of the fact that the figures OF
exports to Oeeania no longer include
cur shipments to the Hawaiian islands,
which are now considered as domestic
trade with domestic territory. Compar-
ing 1892 with 1902, however, there is a
marked growth in the shipments to All

DR.. William II. Taylor tells one of his
most singular experiences in thirty years
as coroner of Richmond. 1t is a good,
pointed tale as are all that originate
with the Grace-Street sage.
The inauisitive reporter asked the Cor
oner if he had ever known of case
where a person had the misfortune to
be buried alive. He replied that he
believed such cases, though quite often
heard of, are not frequent. Then he
told this story: He was years ago called
to view the remains of a lady who had
died suddenly. The demise occurred at
the residence OF her son-in-law- She
had been pronounced dead by the family
physician and q certificate of her death
had been duly furnished The funeral
ARRANGEMENTS had been made. the hour
set. etc, etc But on the day Of the
funeral it was noticed that moisture had
settled On the inside OF he glass over the
face DR. Taylor was summoned at once
to pass upon the startling question: lis
the lady really dead or in a trance?
Dr. Taylor made his examination, and
then told the son-in-law that he be-
lieved there was no doubt that the lady
was dead, but it was d suspicious case,
and he would take the liberty OF advis-
ing that the funeral be postponed for
day, at least to see what might happen

FOREIGN MISSIONARIES.
They Are Misunderstood" Says One
"to Tbo.,

They Are Misunderstood" Says One
Who Knows Them Intimately.
I have had rare opportunity to study
the inside life of the foreign missionary.
l am free to say that SO far as their
external life is concerned there is no class
of people more fully misunderstood ana
more persistently unsupported. Some say
they live lives of ease In comparative
luxury; others that those who so into
missionary work do SO because there is
no chance OF their getting a comforta-
bic living at home. Others think of them
as a. lot OF long-haired fanatics who have
a strange conception of religious duty
and who. under the impulse of that con-
ception. have gone into uncivilized coun-
tries to live.
It is not generally known that the most
of the missionaries of the old we'll estab-
lished mission boards are graduates OF
our best American colleges and universe
ties and who have had in addition TO
their university training. & post graduate
course OF from three to five years. The
missionaries who are finally sent are Sc
lected from a larger number of appf!-
cants, and they are in many cases the
honor-men of their classes There are
few American colleges or universities
which flava not graduates in the for
eisn missionary service who bear degrees
given by the alma mater for distinguished
Scholarship These people go to unciv-
iized countries for the most part, and
take up their abode among a rude and
savage people
It. is not to be wondered at that Tor
eisn missionaries have adventures which
are hardly paralleied by any class of peo-
ME in the world. The life Of many a
missionary is flied with marvellous es-
pe-iences. to which he gives little atten-
ton. seldom referring to them in coaFer-
sation, almost never writing about them,
and regarding them as the merest Incl.
