Carroll Watson Rankin, in Leslie's
 Monthly for May.
 A young mother left her baby with her obliging mother-in-law one night in order to attend the wedding of a relative who lived in town about a hundred miles distant. The young woman, apparently free from all fam fly cares, spent an enjoyable evening; but just as the newly welded couple were preparing to depart on the mid night train, an expression Of acute anxiety flashed across the young mothers countenance.
 "Oh, George!' she exclaimed, clutch ing her husands arm: ssThere was one thing that I forgot to tell your mother to do for the baby, and he'll never go to sleep without it. You must go right out and send her tele- gram.
 .'Nonsense,' said George, "this isn't the first baby she's taken care of"
 stBut, George, she'll never think of doing just the right thing, and the baby is so perfectly trained that he won't accept any substitute. ! know he's crying hard at this very minute. 2
 She was right. A hundred miles away q weary grandmother was at her wits end because she could LnlnE of nothing that would pacffy a vail ing infant who was most wretchedly sleepy, yet utterly unable to go to sleep. She was pacing wearfly back and forth in the nursery to the accom- paniment of her grandson's howls when the door bell rang and her daughter-in-laws telegram arrived Tearing it open the tired, perplexed grandmother read:

 Two minutes later the baby, ad justed to his liking, was sound asleep.

In Lovers Lane" the most adroit and prolific of { all American playwrights has given new turn to the kaleidoscope and re- vealed droll phases of country life, and fresh types of eccentric character. It is a play of the village streets rather than the farm yard, and 1t sparkles 1 with the cynical eptgrams which dis tinguish Clyde Fftch's satires upon fashionable life. There is clean, whole some fun. through which gleams sill yer thread of sweetest sentiment. There Is ever shifting action and a series of stage pictures to delight the leye.

For Disorder of the Mouth.

Offensive breath may be caused by de- caying teeth, or an unwholesome state of the mouth itself, the lungs or the stomach. For any disorder of the mouth there are few things better than wash composed of g1ycerin. one part; boric acid, one part, and water, 38 parts. The water should be boiling and the wash be used when cold. A few drops of tincture of myrrh will form pleasant addition. When the stomach is at fault a benzoic Ac1d lozenger taken now and then may prove useful Chicago Daily News.

JAPAN TOBACCO MARKET
American Goods Are Coming Into Greater Demand with suc-
 ceeding Year.

The increase in the consumption of tobacco in Japan has been very marked in the last ten years. Cigar cites are being smoked more from year to year, supp1anting the old Japanese pipe, which formerly was practically the only way tobacco was consumed.
 The tobacco industry became mo- nopoly of the Japanese government on August 15, 1899. since which time the cigarette exports have increased very noticeabIy Tn 1898 78,O00, ,000 cigar cites, valued at 133,000 yen (s66. 6.234), were exported, mostly to Asiatic coun- tries: in 1902 the number rose to 717,- 100000, valued at 2,200,000 yen ($1 ,095,- 600). On November 1, 1901, the tobacco monopoly law was so modified as to permit cigarettes and cut tobacco being imported by private parties upon the payment of a 150 per cent. ad valorem duty.
 Japan first came to be regarded as an important market for American to- bacco in the year 1896. and since then the imports thereto have been increas- ing yearly.
 Cigarette machinery has not been in- troduced into Japan to the same ex. tent as into other countries, but Ger man manufacturers are now making efforts to introduce their machines and are meeting with success. American cigarette machines are the best in the world and should command the market. American manufacturers should also think of the possibilities Asia offers as market for their prod ucts and not let the same go by de- fault.

II has been thought by those in po-
sition to know, that the era OF rail-

and now we are informed by the de-
partment OF commerce and labor
that the mileage OF new roads in the
United States for the year 1904 will
reach the enormous figure OF 1900.
exclusive OF Alaska and insular pos
sessions. The increase is equivalent
10 a single track from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. and from the Great
Lakes TO the Gulf OF Mexico.
The most notable in this years
building is the great Southwest, with
1900 miles OF track. This is largely
in Texas, which, by the way, is the
first in railway mileage as IT is in
extent of territory. The Northwest
has added ssy miles; the South. east
Of Texas, comes in with sO2 miles;
the Pacific states wheel into line
with 5e2 miles OF steel rails; and so
the great railway interests continue
TO develop. II is thought that at no
distant day the West will be gridiron-
ed as the New England and Middle
states have been for years.
