AmerTca1ls abroad.

over 10000 citizens of the United
States now annually visit foreign coun-
tries. and their expenditures constitute
a formidable claim upon the country
to be settled in international trade by
shipments of merchandise in excess of
imports. II is commonly calculated
that the average expenditure per capita
is $1,000, but this is probably too high
an estimate, since a large majority of
the travellers are unquestionably people
of moderate means. An estimate Of
500 per person would doubtless be liber-
al, but on this calculation an aggregate
yearly expenditure of nearly $50, 600 600
is reached, which constitutes so much
Of claim upon the material resources Of
the country. The return benefits are
greatly beyond calculation. but they
are not of a material character. Quite
as interesting and significant is the
higher class passenger movement OF
passengers other han cabin-those who
go abroad in the steerage. This move
ment has attained noteworthy proper
tions. Thirty years ago it averaged
about so. 600 persons yearly. During the
past two decades il rose to about 140, 900
yearly on the average. Last year it
numbered 2O6, ,494 persons, and the pres
ent fiscal year, judging from reports of
steamship companies, will show a still
larger outward rush. These figures
must represent immigrants or aliens
who have acquired some little money
from their labor in the. United States,
and are going back home either to re-
main for the rest of their days or until
.opdftiorc Of aroplo1-rnar,+ iy the Ctofac
have improved. They come back, if
at all. as immigrants, presumably,
as the Government figures in
no other way account for their
return. They represent a great
increase Of floating labor, and a
great extension Of the practice among
the poor of Europe to go to the United
States for temporary employment.

Sunset Dreams.

The moth and beetle wing about
The garden ways of other days;
Above the hills, fiery shout
OF gold. the day dies slowly out,
Like some wild blast huntsman
blows;
And DER the hills my fancy goes,
Following the sunsets golden call,
Unto a vine-hung garden wall,
Where she awaits me in the gloom,
Between the lily and the rose,
With arms and lips of warm per-
fume-
The dream of love my fancy knows.
The glow-worm and the firefly glow
Among the ways of bygone days;
A golden shaft shot from a bow
Of silver, star and moon swing low
Above the hills where twilight lies;
And DER the hills my longing flies,
Following the stars far. arrowed gold,
Unto a gate. where, as of old,
She waits amid the rose and rue,
With star-bright hair and night-darlx
eyes,
The dream. to whom my heart is true,
My dream of love that never dies.

BreaG on the Waters.

To the generosity of the late w. c.
Ralston is credited a story of how he
helped a young man to start in life
by advancing him 800. The benefi-
ciary himself, who is at the present
this city, tells how he made for him
self a business which lifted him from
poverty to independence.
Blank was strapped. as he tells the
story and on hearing of Ralston's lib
erality, he stepped into the California
Bank one morning and asked if he
could speak to Mr.. Ralston. The boy
at the private door inquired his busi-
ness, remarkfng at the time that the
manager was busy just then and
would see no one except on banking
business. Well" replied the young
man. 'mine is banking business
When Ralston was informed of the
request he gave instructions to have
the visitor admitted. The boy walked
in with as much confidence as if he
had a million dollar load on his
shoulders and. without waiting to be
catachised, he made his business
known in these words: Mr.. Ralston,
/ am a poor boy with mother to sup
port; my father is dead and if 1 had
500 1 would make a start in busi-
ness and become rich. 1 promise to
repay the money at some time
Impressed by the boys candor the
generous Ralston handed him an or
der on the cashier for the amount
asked and passed on to other matters
demanding his attention, considering
that the advance would help a poor
woman and maybe give the boy a
start. 1t did. The boy bought lot
of cutlery. which he peddled about the
streets until eventually he was enabled
to open a little store on Bush street.
Thence he moved into more commo-
dious quarters and to-day he is at
the head of large hardware store,
easily amassing a fortune. Just be-
fore Ralston's death the money was
paid to the California Bank at time
when Ralston himself needed financial
aid to help meet the crash that sent
him to his untimely grave.

Deqcey and the Diver.

Joe Reardon, a big strapping young
Irishman. has the reputation OF De-
! ing the best diver in the United states
naval service. He has earned IL Dy
doing stunts below the surface or
nearly every sea on which Uncle sam
war vessels have sailed. Neither
depth nor pressure have terrors Tor
him and therefore he is in constant
demand. The rules of the service give
the man the privilege of refusing to
don a helmet and suit. He cannot
be compelled to dive, and it is to Joe
credit that only once during his long
service has he refused to explore the
depths. This was at Cavite. shortly
after the sinking of the Spanish YES
sells, when efforts, were being made TO
recover the bodies of the slain and
TO save what remained of the battered
Spanish hulls. Then he refused be-
cause the doctor on his SNIP the
Olympia, stickler for discipline re-
fused him a glass Of whisky.
Reardon had been at work all
morning on one of the sunken vessels.
He sent up body after body and all
sorts Of ships gear and made fast 10
the wreck numberless ropes and guys
for the use of the engineers VINO
were arranging to save the vesseis.
When finally he came to the surface
at noon he was tired out. When the
face plate of his helmet was removed
he asked for the glass of whisky ne
was accustomed to receive and which
he had never been refused because lt
has become an unwritten law that
glass of grog is to be served to divers
when they have been at work. The
doctor of the ship, who did not be-
lieve in unwritten laws and believed
in running his department on the ship
according to the written code, re-
fused Reardonjs request. The diver
admitted that he did not need it, but
said he had always received it and
wanted it as usual. When the doctor
persisted Reardon demanded that his
suit be taken off.
At 1 O'clock when Admiral Dewey
noticed that the wrecking operations
had ceased, he sent for the executive
officer, the captain and the gunner to
learn what was the trouble. He was
told and then he sent for Reardon.
How about this, Reardon?" he
said, when the bluejacket appeared.
II am surprised that you give up"
II am not giving up. sir" said Rear
don, ''its the doctor. 1 want glass
of whisky because / am in the habit
of getting it and he refuses to give
1t to me because it is against the rules
of the service
"Humph, said Dewey, "he happens
to be right Then he dismissed the
officers. but told Reardon to remain.
Inside of ten minutes the sailor was
again donning his rubber suit. Just
as the face plate on the helmet was
being screwed on he grinned at the
diving crew. smacked his lips and with
grin said: THE old mans stuff
skins the doctors and he gives it TO
one in larger doses"

Admiral ALexief.


The Viceroy looks younger than he
is. bearing lightly the weight of his
sixty years. His long, flowing beard,
burning black eyes, with an occa-
siOnal yellow sheen, and his somewhat
prominent nose bespeak his Armenian
extraction. He has had no classical
education, no experience of politics, no
time for meditation, and little taste
for history. His prominent qualities
are those of clever naval officer, and
it is in this, his own special sphere,
that he may be reasonably expected TO
justify the high hopes which the bulk
of his countrymen repose in him; as
to his qualifications for political diplo-
macy, and for the administration of a
vast territory in troublous times, many
of them are very doubtful, holding that
he possesses an alert mind with no
originality, and that the source of his
strength is courage and self-mastery
rather than intellect or craftsmanship.
Unless events belle their forecast and
he rises to the emergency, they will
continue to assert in the future, as in
the past and present, that bureau
cracy in Russia is incapable of produc-
ing a single strong man.-Review of

What 1t Costs.

They are beginning to realize the
faco in Russia that there is little glory
in war, and that it is immensely cost
ly. Now that the sea route between
European and Asiatic Russia Is closed,
and the trans-Siberian line is monopo-
lized by the military authorities, trade
is at a standstilI- Deducting the
amount required by law to be held as
security for outstanding paper cur
rency. the gold in the Imperial Bank
amounts to $1,000 900 rubles; but the
whole of this balance could be en-
ployed as a war fund only at the risk
of greatly disturbing the course Of ex-
change and impairing the credit of the
Government. The Turkish war cost
Russia 1000, 100000 rubles. and 1t is
unlikely that the cost of the present
conflict will be less. The authorities
are agreed that the country Is taxed
to the limit. Where is the money
necessary to the conduct Of the war
to come from? This is the question
which will call more and more insist
emily for an answer as the struggle
in the Far East rogresses.-Omaha

The alpine range Of which the Tas-
man glacier is so interesting a part
runs for a distance of a hundred miles
and as the line of perpetual snow is
at the five thousand feet level or no
less than three thousand feet lower
than in Switzerland, the advantage to
the traveller in search of scenic mar
vels may easily be imagined. One of
the glaciers close to the Tasman de-
scends TO within few hundred feet of
the sea and boasts OF semi-tropical
foliage right in it's terminal face. Such
are the contrasts. such are the Won
oers.
The flora of this region is most va
ried and beautiful. Edelweiss flourish
es luxuriantly three thousand feet
above sea level and there are nearly
fifty Towering plants not known to
exist in any other part of the world.
Bushes laden with berries, which in
autumn change their color. the noun
tain daisy and the alpine buttercup,
luxuriate amid a numerous bevy of
neighbors, all blossoming in purest
white, except the unique yellow ra-
nunculuS.
The native parrot, the kea, which in
this district forgets to kill sheep for
their kidney fat, the comical wingless
weka and the bell bird are few of
the songsters whose quaint notes are
frequently heard in the most inacces-
sible of passes. But these are not the
only unique sounds to be heard on the
Tasman, for one of the favorite routes
takes the traveller in a cage across the
wild, rushing Hooker River: avail
anehes Of stones constantly rattle
against the glacier faces as they toss
to the great moraine beneath and now
and again deafening claps as of thun-
der dull the ears at the coming OF some
great new crevasse in this ice field,
which, while so awe-inspiring, so pic
turesque in its unrivaled grandeur, is
Yet easily and safely accessible TO the
most timid and inexperienced. Indeed,
no great sight in the world can be
seen for so slight an outlay of cash
and energy as the enthralling Tasman
glacier in New Zealand.

South Africa. through all its many
changes. but it is supposed 10 De as
nearly perfect as a stamp collection
ever was. 1t brought nearly $4,000,
record price.
f. ]. Nankivell made the collection,
and has made a great thing out or 1t,
chiefly because a great demand has
sprung up for the rare stamps since
tbe Transvaal became a British col
ony. There have been so many polit-
icaI changes in the country that its
stamps form a sort Of historic record
of thirty-dve years.
The first and most sought for group
in the lot is that issued by the first
South African republic between 1869
and 1877. The plates for these were
made in Gustrow, Germany, and TIE
first supply was sent to the Transvaai
with the plates.
In 1870, when this supply was all
used up, a Boer. Mr.. Viljoen OF Pre-
toria, printed a fresh lot. These lasted
two years and then a Mr.. Borrius, a {
Potchefstrom, did a little more stamp
printing.
The British seized all the stamps Of
the republic remaining in the post
office and printed over them "V. r..
Transvaal," the V. r. above the name
of the State The printers worked un
der some pressure, so naturally there
were a few errors.
A famous one is a penny red on blue,
with the name of the State spelled
"TransveaL" The stamps with these
errors are so rare that experts value
them at from 1915 to $3.50 piece.
There were other errors, all OF i'm
portance now TO the philatelist. One
shows the overprint inverted on the
stamps. A rare print of one of these
is valued at $1,000.

the whole field of common interests and common Ian
