We could do s. again. a striking illus
tratton Of the growing Importance Of
foreign trade as the balance wheel Of
our industrial mechanism, even in times
Of great domestic prosperity, was seen
ir the effect on two occasions Of the
stoppage Of the Chinese demand for cot
ten goods. During the Boxer troubles
the "o'!thern cotton mills. which manu-
facture especially for the Chinese
market, were reduced to such serious
straits by the suspension of orders from
China that they were forced to under
take the production of a class of goods
which competed with the output OF the
New England factories. Fortunately,
the Chinese market was reopened 10
them just in time to prevent crisis in
the trade, which would probably have
proved disastrous. In October last, for
some reason yet unexplained, the Chi
nese demand for cotton goods again fell
off, and it was not until the middle of
December that the orders expected in
October began to come in. In the mean
time, the southern cotton mills once more
were confronted with the alternative
Of competing with the New England in
dustry or Of remaining idle.
We have been so prosperous that it is
hard to think there ever will be a
diminution Of our prosperity, but there
may be.

The Paris Health department has
been counting the rats and mice which
are annually destroyed in the city,
These in round numbers, are as fol-
lows: $4,000 in the Central Markets;
$4,000 in the other markets: 100000 in
the abattoirs: $4,000 by the butchers
100000 by the grocers; 100000 by private
individuals; 100000 by the tanners;
100000 by rat-catchers, in the sewers,
cellars and streets, and 100000 by va
Tious poisons. Now. if one adds to
these figures the number that shuttle
off this mortal coil through old age,
crimes, felo de Sc and other violent
deaths, say about 100000, one arrives at
the somewhat formidable total Of L.
100000. The statistician concludes that
the total number Of the petty pests of
Paris must be at least 100000, or about
one per inhabitant.

boobies and folks in de Notwithstanding
yours truly-isn't in de proposition a little
bit alongside of de way Duchess wants to
see dat kid a swell for fair. / found out
dat she was only jollying, even when she
talked about 'prenticing him to de husband
of her fren Julie, who keeps de restaur-
ant.
Duchess wouldn't hear to de kid going
back to de old lady's, but fetches him along
wit us up to de place on de Sound; for
Miss Fannie lets US have de little one up
dere when he wants, and he eats wit us in
de housekeepers room. Duchess had a
long pow-wow wit Miss Fannie about de
game dat night, and Miss Fannie was as
interested as if it was her own kid dat had
lost her t h. Den Mr.. Paul was took into
de caucus, and den 1 was sent for; and be-
fore we was settled dere was more CUFF
and gas about de proposition dan if de kid
had lost his head instead of his t h. Miss
Fannie votes dat de youngster should be
sent to a swell little school dat is kept for
de kids of de smar. set folks while, de
divoice judges is making up DER minds
whedder de modders or de ladders is de
best one to have de kids. But Duchess
baked. She said she didn't wants de kid
in a school where he would get de woise
of it because his parents was house SOW
ants.
Den Mr.. Paul settles it. He said dat he
would enter kiddie as de son of a fren of
his. Dat wouldn't go in most schools. but
in dis school dere was many a kid dat de
school teachers didn't know who its pa
and ma was. All dat was wanted was dat
de pas and mas was respectable, and would
pay de bills. AS to responsibility, says Mr..
Paul, "I tink dis cubs parents could give
cards to many of EN-, and show to de good
at dat"
So we is to be let to keep Little Duke
wit us until de school opens, and den Mr..
Paul is to enter him, and see dat he has a
fair crack at his t h. But what's worrying
me is what will be doing when some silk

HAS FIVE LIVES e f
New Jersey Cat still Lives and Its
Owner Ii Fined for Cruelty.

New York Herald.
Defeated and driven to q police court by
a cat that would not die, Frank O'NeiI. OF
Netcong, n. j., paid a fine Of - yesterday
and left the court room still vowing that
he would pursue his former pet, end the
four or five lives he believes the ANIMAL still
possesses, and, il necessary, pay fines until
he or the cat meets a fate that will remove
one from the purview OF the others exis-
tence.
O'Neil was in court on a charge of cruelty
TO animals, and he told 10 the justice or
the peace this moving tale:
A cat that he had petted, loved and fed
became a chicken thief. and O'Neil. acting
as judge and execationer, determined that
the cat must die. So he hit him with a
club and knocked Thomas across the road,
but the cat came back. lie had not learned
anything from his clubbing experience and
took TO stealing chickens again.
ONeil next used a shotgun and the cat
became heavier by a load OF birdshot- Still
the cat came back and went at his old
tricks in the hen house. II was there that
he was caught i'm a box trap and taken TO
the creek, where he was sunk under sew
eral feet of black water. Bright ano early
next morning there was the cat lining up
with the others at the O'Neil home for his
saucer of milk.
That so irritated O'Neil that he conceived
a horrible, slow death for the chicken thief
and vowed he would watch until POSSIBILITY
OF a return to life was gone. Thomas was
taken 10 the barn, where he was deposited
on a sharp tined ~pitchfork and left In the
sun TO starve. O'Neil sadly but with de-
termination, began his vigil.
From this plight the cat was saved by a
neighbor. IL was she who made the COM
plant Of cruelty against O'Neil.
