IMPORTS AND GOOD TIMES.
Extent to Which the Two Run Parallel
Survey of Thirty-Five Years.
New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
In connection with the publication of
Februarys foreign trade figures, showing
the largest merchandise imports of any
month in the country's history, the ques-
ton has bsen asked, What have been the
previous fluctuations up and down in this
branch of trade. and what have they sgni-
fed? Going back no further than 1870, i'm
ports increased rapidly up to the fiscal
year 1873; they rose from $435, 800 900 in the
one year to $642 600, 900 in the other From
then until 1875 they declined, reaching
s533, 900, coo in 1875. A slow recovery,
marked first by frequent relapses then by
violently rapid expansion, brought them to
$724, 6O0,OO0 in 1882.
Then came three years decline to ST.
100000 in 1885; next a revival which
raised the annual record to 1896. 100000 In
the fiscal year 1888. After the panic came
a great collapse. and five years later, in
1898. the total, 100000. was the small
est since 1885. In the subsequent expan-
sion the total rose to $1,025. 700, 600 in 1893
decreased slightly in 1904, but is this year
breaking all records.
All that such historical parallels neces-
sarily mean is that the general movement
of imports is steadily upward. along with
the country's growth in wealth and popu-
lation; that financial crash and the con-
violently. al that, would naturally be
inferred the highest records of annual i'm
ports of given periods come just before
a boom is about to collapse But
whether a given record at any time was
was not the highest cannot be known
until after the trade reaction has re-
duced it.

Missionary Life.

NEW YORK, April From a letter ra.
ceived at the offices of the PRESBYTERIAN
board of foreign missions, it is evident that
the life of the missionary has occasional ex-
citing moments. The Rev. W. ]. Drum.
mond of Marking, China, tells of a visit to
the house of a native at Ho Ian Pu. who
keeps tea shop and an inn. He saws: II
remained over night. After supper we had
a service, and as the people were afterward
leaving there was heard the firing of a gun
on the street outside. A cry of .Robbers!'
went up Some flew to the front door and
barricaded it. All the lights were blown
out and l had to grope my way among
tables and benches and climb a ladder to
the loft above, where l found most of our
party. All the time there was a furious
uproar on the street In front of the inn
a gun was fired every few minutes. There
were loud cries for help and a constant
succession of yells We could hear men
running over the roof, sounding though
they were trying to break in. From the
noise one would have imagined great bat
tie to be going on, but there was no at
tempt to break into the inn. After an hour
the robbers left and their yells gradually
died away. Then another uproar began.
This was the inhabitants giving vent to
their opinions after the horse had been
stolen The first report was that there
were eighty robbers and that a man had
been killed, but in the morning we learned
that no one had been injured. that the rob-
bers numbered only twenty-eight, and that
they had gotten only about thirty dollars
worth of booty"

Nowadays the flag lockers" of the big
hotels are almost as important as are the

addition to supply of the national en-
blems to fly on all the STATS on the roof
and the one that protrudes from the main
entrance, each hotel usually keeps in its
flag locker fairly complete set Of flags
of the great powers, that they may be
ready at hand when some dignitary of one
of those countries stops at the hotel.
These lockers are always In charge of one

The Firm Dissolves.
Mrs. Snow reached the home of her rela-

night, but her heart was back in the cot
tage on the mountain. A single day amid
the new surroundings was all she could
endure; she longed for the rude cottage
with It's plain surroundings and coarse fare,

her Damon. She told her relatives she was
homesick and wanted to go back home"

Frankness and directness as the
chief attributes of the shirt sleeve

part. The President gave Russia
no time to recover from the

Japan no time to recover from
