the Kansas City & Orient railread. the growth of business aAd jnsustry that promises to take place in the immense continents bordering the Pacific ocean, will perhaps cause the star of financial empire westward to take it's way more rapidly than it has ever done before
 And of the American cities that will be most benefited by these immense and worldwide changes. Kansas City, with her unsurpassed location and the or iginality, enterprise and progressive ness of her business men and fnanciers, can hardly be the one that profits least.
 Probably there is more truth than po- etry in this. Kansas City will be a big place by and by, and perhaps then it will have railroad station that will be more worthy of it's bigness than the present one is of it's present bigness.

GREET AND GROWING.

They have some financiers out West, and they don't care who knows it. Just now the West, and especially the Kansas City part of the West, are chortling over the way MT. C.. S. Jobes, of Kansas City, got the better of east ern financiers by going to Washington and capturing the entire s3,0Oo,0 900 issue of Philippine certificates. This feat,
 which, it must be confessed, is worth notice, moves the Kansas City Journal to look forward and modestly see what will happen to Kansas City by and by. This is it's vision: The clearing house of the world was formerly in the Hanse towns Of northern Germany. From there 1t moved into the great commercial cities of Holland. Thence it was trans ferred to London, where it remained for many years. Lately New York has been gaining rapidly upon London and threatening to wrest the supremacy from her, but while New York has been gaining in financial importance, the cities of the western part of the United States have been growing in this re- gard, also.

It is announced that the Rev. pr. James Boyd Brady, former pastor of Grace Methodist Episcopal church of Worcester, Massachusetts, who has been commissioned by the New Eng land Conference of the Methodist Epis- eopal Church to raise a fund of $25O.0 GOO for the relief of superannuated preach CTS of the conference, has a more ann bilious plan in mind. and will go to the General Conference in Los Angeles to lay before it a plan to raise between ss,ooO,OOO and s5,OOO,O0O for the relief of the aged preachers and the widows and orphans of Methodist preachers of the country.
 This is an ambitious plan, but not more ambitious than is warranted by the situation. There are many aged Methodist preachers and relicts and or phan children of Methodist preachers who need help. The Methodists are HiuGA lhOIc Aun4SAouo tAah 'iiSS used to be, They are also much richer than they used to be Indeed. some good old-fashioned Methodists. think that there are too many rich Methodists. The Methodists have lately shown what they can do in the way of raising mon ey, and neither their benevolence nor their money is exhausted. They can't use part of what more money they have to give away better than to give 1t as Dr. Brady will ask. And when the Methodists start in to help theiI vorn-out preachers and relicts and or phan children of preachers there are other religionists who might well imi' tate the good example

CARDS. WHISkF AND CIGA REITHe' Those who know what has been done in the way of playing bridge, poker ana other card games in New Haven dur ing the past winter, or the winter that
 will some time be past, will be surpris-
 ed to read that the demand for playing
 cards is falling off. Yet such seems to he the fact. The records of the Treas ury department show that there has been q decrease in the production or
 playing cards for the past eight months amounting to nearly 100000 packs, as compared with the corresponding eight months of a year ago. Uncle Sam has
 received s2SS,OOO from the tax of two
 cents a pack on playing cards since July last, representing an output of
 something like 15,0o0,000 packages of
 cards in that period. The receipts from
 this source of taxation are always a reliable gauge of the quantity of cards that is being used, for the tax is not paid until the cards are withdrawn for
 consumption. The manufacturers never accumulate stock of stamped cards
 so the Treasury can tell exactly what the public demand is.
 This will be cheering to those who +b;,.1~ +to,,a ;s -o,,a atT,iro iyo life tecides card playing, but there are other things
 that are not so cheering. If there has
 been a decline in card playing of late there has been no let up in whisky drinking. There has been a steady in
 crease in the income from this item of internal taxation. The receipts from
 the whisky tax for the eight months of the current fiscal year have been SSS,-
 667.2 PAT, gain of sS,4SO,00O over the
 same period of last year. There was a slight change in the law regulating the tax on whisky. but it went into effect prior to July year ago, so the conpar- lSOu Ul IScelplS IUE lIlG lWO SldLeu periods is a true index to the amount of whisky consumed. Cigarette smoking
 is on the increase also, judging by the
 receipts From the tax on this article of manufacture. There has been gain
 in the receipts from cigarette taxation
 during the past eight months of $780, 900, as compared with the correspond ling eight months of the preceding year. The total receipts from the output of cigarettes in the last eight months has been more than $2,000,0O0.
 So on the whole the improvement in l the ways of the people isn't so very iconspicuous. And perhaps extra drink ling and extra igarette-smokking are even worse than more card playing, es-
 pecially by the women, would be. Of course the women have had nothing to do with the increase of revenue from whisky and cigarettes.

turing jeweleres. Frequently the man. ufacturers get sums raging from $4,000 to $S,000 year from the sale of the in- cinerated dirt and rubbish. The work men are required to wash in basins. The water is kept for time and sold. It invariably contains a respectable quantity of gold.
 But the sums obtained from the dirt rubbish, and water are frequently far below the sums brought by the sale of old floors and the scrapings of walls and ceilings. This is especially so where the buildings are old and the floors are of soft wood. Even with the most serupulous cleaning and sweeping. particles of gold lodge in the crevices and minute apertures of the floors, and by constant tramping sink into the body of the wooden floor. After some years use the floors are taken up and auctioned off and replaced by new floors. The old floors and the scrapings of a watch case factory in Brooklyn were sold not long ago for s17.000 and this is by no means an excellent case. Many of the factories now have espe- cially patented devices for sucking in the flying particles of gold, but at best they are not ali-sufficient, and atoms of gold manage to escape and find shell tering places everywhere about the rooms.--New York Post.

A vessel using crude petroleum for fuel has made a successful voyage from California to New York. This craft has steamed nearly thirteen thousand miles smoothly and well in fifty-one days, keeping up a fair average of speed. The oil took up one-quarter less room than an equivalent quantity of coal would have taken, thus saving cargo space, and it was not necessary to stop at any point in order to renew the supply. Tn fact, upon her arrival at a Brooklyn pier this steamship, the Nebraskan, had sufficient fuel in reserve for passage across the Atlantic.

Dr. Austin Flint writes to the Sun to say that it is we'll known to alienists that the chronic insane, especially those of advanced age, are subject to discolorations of the skin that simulate severe bruises, and that they also de- velop 8 bone degeneration, especially the ribs, which makes them very fragile and subject to fracture from very slight causes. He thinks that these familiar medical facts should be known, because these marks and breaks are often regarded as proof of brutality or the part of nurses and at tendants. And sometimes, we suppose, not without reason.
