CHANGES IN CHINA.

When China really wakes up. as she Will in time, somebody will make some money there-as much as Colonel sel- lers would have made if he could have got his eye-water properly distributed.
 Estimates of the value of orders that China may give put it at fabulous sums. For instance, one part of China, the southeast, with an area of 4,000, 900 square miles, would demand railroad network of 1S6,410 miles, of which, if Germany, England, France, Belgium and the United States should construct B, 7,2S2 miles each, work worth $1, ,42S, ,0OO,- 900 would fall to each one of these countries. There would be a demand for at least 50,000,O00 tons of steel and iron, an order large enough, when prop erly divided, to aid in keeping the worlds iron and steel industries profit ably employed for fifty years. It is hardly necessary to take the trouble to prove estimates of this kind. For even if one makes allowances for overesti- mates, there is still enough to warrant hopes expressed. Railroads are not the only works that give promise. There are other great transportation systems, such as telegraph wires and poles to be erected, bridges to be built, rivers to be regulated, bars in rivers and har- bors to be removed, and hundreds of public works that will need foreign ma

United States consuls in Latin Amer lea continue to warn business men in the United States against the folly of attempting to obtain trade by the use of circulars and other printed matter in English. Against the competition of German houses especially, and to some extent French and British mercantile concerns that employ commercial trav- elers able to speak the language of the countries in which they seek business, 1t is utterly futile to depend upon a lan- guage unknown to those whose custom is solicited by mail.

 A bar which cannot be sawed through has been patented by a Pennsylvania inventor, specially intended for use in penal institutions. The bar has a num- Der of longitudinal holes near the sur- face, which are filled with glass. This is very severe on the saw, and is count ed upon to discourage the sawyer. The The expense of manufacturing such bars would be somewhat above those of the ordinary type and the diameter would necessarily be increased to allow for the glass, an increase which would in itself deter most criminals from at, tempting the task of cutting through it.

have the picnic at Pleasant Hill. 1t
is centrally located.

SANDER you or to impose on your
reputation by even insinuating that
you were too ignorant to report the
attendance at church of the fair
young lady, but on the other hand
tried to set off to advantage your
skill and sound judgment in that
you did not make the report, as we
supposed that you had ample rea-

call me to task as to my meaning
will you be so kind as to inform The

ally the cause of your silence?
