INDIANS AS CUSTOMERS,
More Particular About Their Clothing
Than Their Food-Buy Costly
CARDS and Cheap Candies.

Mrs. J. l. White is from Porter, l.
T., where her husband runs a store.
Porter is a brand new town, and Is now
in the boom state. There are a great
many Indians about Porter, and they
are the stores best customers.
When Mr.. White went to the terri
tory, says the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette,
he supposed the Indians would demand
as low priced goods as it is possible to
sell, but found out that the redskins
were not just as he sized them up. The
Indians want the sportiest things on
the market. They turn up their noses
at cheap clothes. and want loud colors
and costly CARDS. When Christmas
came 1t was natural to suppose that the
Indians would also want costly sweets
as we'll as costly clothes, and Mr..
White was surprised to find that the
Indians passed up the high priced can
dies and bought the cheapest kind pos.
sible. The most they could get for the
money was the kind they wanted. The
Indians argued that they ate the candy
and no saw it, but with the cloth
ing it was different, as every one saw
the clothes they wore. The red man is
much more particular about what he
puts on his back than what he puts In
his stomach.

sMi1Hr "coRNER" TOBACCO.
Great Increase in Consumption Of
Cigar Leaf in Ten Years Ex-
ceeds the Production.

Because the government r reports
show a shortage of about 1,250,O 900 bales
IN the cotton crop, the cotton market
mas gone crazy on the advance of the
price OF cotton, which amounts any
how to only a few cents. But what
would the state of mind be of specu-
lators in cotton and cereals if they had
TO reckon with such shortages as ex-
isted in the cigar leaf market for the
last few years and may last some years
more? asks the Tobacco Journal. The
non-existence of q tobacco exchange is
no doubt responsible for the lack of
speculative fever and frenzy, with their
ups and downs, that would otherwise
dominate the leaf market just as well
as they do in every market where prod
ucts are dealt with on an exchange.
The increase in the consumption of
cigar leaf in the last decade amounted
to nearly $4,000, 900 pounds, and this
was an official showing, which is short
many millions of the actual consump-
ton, and in no year since 1898 has the
production kept pace with the increase
in consumption. Suppose a tobacco ex-
change had these facts to gamble on,
what a harvest they would have fur
nished for the bulls to feast on! II
the gamblers on the various exchanges
had only an inkling Of the condition
of the leaf market they would hardly
hesitate very long to organize a tobacco
exchange and transfer their operations
to one of the most speculative products
of the country. And then prices would
jump, in comparison with which the ex-
element on the cotton exchange would
be only a tame affair.

COULD TELEPHONE TO DOGS
System Adopted on st. Bernard Pass
Which Enables Animals to Seek
Out Lost Travellers

A French tourist relates that some
time ago he set out to cross st. Ber-
nard pass by himself, and he got
caught in the fog near the top. He
sat on q rock and waited for one OF
the dogs to come and attend to him
but in vain, and when the fog cleared
away he managed to reach the hos
pice. On arrival, say the Baltimore
Sun, he observed that he thought the
dog a rather o%verrated animal.
There l was" he said, for at least
six hours and not one came near me"
"But why" exclaimed mi of the
monks, why did you not ring us UP
on the telephone?"
To the astonished tourist it was e
planned that the whole of the pass Is
provided with shelters at short dis
tances from each other, all in direct
telephone communication with the
hospice. When the bell rings, the
monks send off a hound loaded with
bread and other comforts. The dog
on duty is told what number has rung
and he goes straight to that shelter
This system saves the hounds their ole
duty of patroling the pass on the
chance of a stray traveller being found
and as the pass is for about eight
months Of the year under snow, this
! entailed hard and often fruitless labor,

When You Get Shaved.

Every few men realize the manual
labor entailed in the operation of
shaving, aside from the constant care
and skill that must be exercised" said
the handsome barber, as he paused to
strop his razor. II didn't realize II
myself until the other day. The man
I was shaving was a stranger to me
and he seemed a trile nervous. When
| got through with him he said to
me: DO you know how many strokes
of the razor you used in shaving me?'
l looked up at the clock. 1t had taken
me nearly 20 minutes. I give 1t up
said. 4 never thought about it. We'll,
said he, as he buttoned his collar, you
used lust 459 strokes with the razor.
That's pretty fair for me, because I'm
nervous. | have frequently been up to
nearly 600. You see, l suffer from in
somnia, and the only way l can get to
sleep at nights is to lie in bed and
count. In that way I have got into the
habit of counting the razor strokes
while getting shaved, and l want to
tell you that 459 is a pretty good
record for me- Say, do you believe
that ?"-Philadelphia Record.

EDUCATION OF THE JAPS.
Government and Naval officials En-
titled to Much Credit in
the Work.

In no field of activity has Japan
done so much as in that of education.
Thanks to the private and temple
schools, which have been in existence
for centuries, as well as to the higher
state seminaries, popular education has
always been at a high level, says the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
1t Is greatly to the credit of the JAP
anese physicians that ever since the
middle of the 18th century they have
applied themselves to the study Of the
Dutch language, thus opening a chan.
mel which has enabled the science of
Europe to effect an entry among them.
AS early as 1857 Toxic saw the crea-
ton of a sort of institute for foreign
science, in which instruction was given
at first in Dutch. then in English,
French, German and even Russian Ian
guages. The chief achievement of this
seminary was the compilation of an
English-Japanese dictionary, while
in 1858 the first European
school of medicine was also established
there. A quarter of a century ago ia
pan depended almost entirely upon
foreign countries for its supply of pro
fessors and teachers; now the recruits
are wholly drawn from native schol-
ars. 1t scarcely requires to be shown
that this new system of public educa
ton proved in a comparatively short
time an effective means Of transform
ing Japan in the progressive sense in
tended by the government, so that the
ministry of education may be said to
have done most to weld the nation into
a harmonious whole, 1t may fairly be
inferred that this wise and full devel-
opment of Japan educationally is to be
credited largely with the clever work
now being performed by the Japanese
naval commanders and government Of.
fcials, the similarly clever work OF
Japan's army and navy in the Chino
Japanese wal of 1S94-95 and in the
march of the allied forces upon Picking

THREE ZONES IN ONE HoUR
Two Known Regions Where That
Many Temperatures Come Very
Close Together.

Only two places exist on this globe
where one can pass through three
zones of temperature-the tropical.
subtropical and temperate-within an
hours time. Hawaii is one of these
places and Darjeeling, in northeastern
India, is another. In both these places.
says a geographical Journal, the trick
is done by climbing up the high noun
tains. In Hawaii the traveller starts
with the warm breath of the Pacific
tanning him amid the smell of palm
trees. He passes by great clusters of
tropical fruit and as he mounts the
trees change, until he is in the kind
of scenery that may be found in the
southern United States. Still he
climbs, and soon he notices that it is
much cooler and that the character of
the scene has changed to one that re-
minds him of the temperate zone, with
fields in which potatoes and other
northern vegetables are growing.
In Darjeeling the change is still
more wonderful. The entrance to the
tableland on which the little mountain
city stands is through a dark, somber
tropical pass, full of mighty palms and
hung with orchids and other jungle
growth. After awhile the trees change
from palms to the wonderful tree ferns.
These alternate with banana trees, un-
til, after some more climbing, forests
are reached of magnolias and similar
trees. Through these magnolias the
way leads ever up, and all at once,
over IN open pass, there come into
view immense thickets of Himalayan
rhododendrons and the evergreen of
frs and cedars, and beyond stand the
white, grim, snowclad, frozen noun
tain peaks like arctic icebergs on land.
In less than two hours a traveller can
ascend from orchids through jungles to
tea plantations and thence to a climate
Of northern roses and violets.
