WITHIN THE EVERGLADES.

Sensation Experienced by Drivers in
 Flying Over Roads.
 One can hardly imagine the feelings experienced in driving automobiles at record pace in races like the one for the Vanderbilt cup and many of the drivers themselves, are unable to describe the sensations of literally fly ing over the roads in the model :. jauggernaut.
 Herbert Lytele, the midget" said after the Vanderbilt cup race last year, that there were times when he only seemed toD@lft spots in the road, bounding along like ship in stormy sea. He says if he had time to bring his mind to the swaying and rolling of his vehicle, he might get seasick. His main feeling is that he wants, speed speed, and more speed, to eat up the yellow ribbon of road that stretches ahead. Bert Dingley, winner of the Vanderbilt cup trial race says that in long races on the road. he fails to have any particular sensation for his whole idea being centered in keeping the car on the ,smoothest part of the road way.

OF commercial travellers is, of course, something which American business men long ago found necessary in the home market, and Mir. Anderson calls attention to the fact that recently a certain arsenal in China was fitted with new machinery purchased from Ger many and paid for at a much higher price than would have been charged by an American firm. When asked why this had been done, the answer was that they preferred to deal with the personal representative of the German firm because they could hold him liable in case the goods purchased were not as represented. MT. Anderson says that Americans should also secure represen- tatives in the persons of young and we'll educated Chinese who are able to speak the languages and dialects.
 This looks entirely reasonable. There is going to be much business in China, and the United States should get it's share.

to play him false it is in the characters which he has assumed the oftenest.
 It is curious thing. he said, that the more perfect you are in a part the more likely you are to stick It is of ten the case after you have been play Ing the same character hundred or more nights. The worst part of it sis that when you want the prompter he is never there"
 J. L. Toole, the veteran comedian, is another actor who has been lowered with remarkable memory, and few men have needed it more. His was a most laborious apprenticeship, and it IS doubtful whether even he could say. within hundred, how many parts he mas learned in his time. ''I have played as many as eighteen parts in week, '' he stated not long ago. "Often I have been studying another part while l have been playing new one, and many time after. .rehearsals in the morning and acting at night I have gone home to sit up studying a part for rehearsal the next day" Well might he say:
 Those were the days when an actor had to work like the proverbial nigger. ,"
 The late Wilson Barrett was blessed with such a remarkable memory that he was letter perfect in part of aver age length after reading it through twice, and to his last days, it is said, could repeat without prompting any part he had ever played. But, so far from being content with mastering the words of character, he would study the most insignificant impersonation, even a walking part, with as much care as if he were about to appear in a first performance of Hamlet" before Lon- don audience.

Trees memory is not such a bad one, after all.
 George Grossmith's memory is little short of phenomenal and yet on more than one occasion it has failed him la mentally. Some years ago he was giv- ing an entertainment before Queen Vic- toria at Balmoral, and at her Majesty's request sang his popular song, You Should See Me Dance the Polka" He sailed away smoothly until he came to- ward the end of the second verse, when, although he had then sung the verse over two thousand times, he came to a full and ignominious stop He contin. ued playing in the hope that the words would come to him. but not a bit of it. they refused to come, and, to the Queens great amusement he had to be- gin the verse again before he could surmount the obstacle.

ing gum, millinery, glue and laces. , A large part Of this collection was on Kentucky whisky which has been in Germany.
 About $500 barrels of Kentucky whisky is now stored in the customs warehouse here, consigned to local deaI- CTS. This whisky has spent several years in Germany. Originally distill- CTS assigned as reason for exporting it again that it got peculiar sea flaw or in crossing the ocean, which improY- ed it. Many Kentucky colons' sis- puted this fact on the basis that Ken- lucky cannot be improved aILer ...z E properly aged. ..-.... ...
 The real reason, however, for stor- ing whisky in Germany is to save money, although there may be tht aon- tributing reason of securing a sea flavor. The national law formerly pro- vided that whisky must be taken out of bond inside of three years, and the tax of $1,10 a gallon must be paid on it when taken out. It also provided that if whisky be exported such a tax would not have to be paid on 1t at the time of the taking it out, and further that it might be reimported upon payment of s1.10 a gallon. The duty on import ed whisky which is not made in Ameri- ca is $2.25. ...
 Many distillers and warehouses found it cheaper to export the Whiskey and import it later than to borrow the money for internal revenue taxes. An enormous quantity of whisky was then sent abroad, and as Germany is the only country which will admit it without payment of duty it was sent there. Both Mexico and Canada impose heavy duty. The distillers figured that the cost of transportation both ways was cheaper than the interest in the money with which they would have to pay taxes at the time. They could keep the whisky stored in Germany many years, or as long as they want ed to, and bring it back in small Quan- titles, so they were not put to the em- barrassment of borrowing very large amounts of money for taxes. Congress- has since passed a law allowing whisky to remain in Government ware houses eight years before the internal avenue taxes are paid. Louisville Ierald.

MEMORIES OF ACTORS.
Many Can Reel Of Their "Parts" i'm
 Hundreds of Plays.

When M. Coquelin, the great French comedian, was asked a short time ago if he ever forgot a part he had once played, he replied that he could at a moments notice repeat any part he had learned in his early years on the stage. Il have only to open my mouth," he said, and the speeches come out ike a ribbon that is being unwound from a reel. But am of opinion that after forty years mans memory hardens At all events, if I have to play a part that I learned in later life I require pust one rehearsal in order to be sure of myself
 The astonishing nature of such feat as this is only realized, says Tit Bits, when one remembers the enormous number of parts an actor of necessity has to master in his early years. Dur ing my first four years on the stage" Sir Squire Bancroft, for instance, says, T acted three hundred and forty-six characters repeating many of them with various actors and in different theaters-an average of between eighty and ninety parts each year."
 During his first season he played for, ty fresh characters within six weeks, Hong hours of the night, generally by the light of a single candle being often given to copying out my parts from well thumbed prompt books" In one mem Orable fortnight he had to act the following seven fresh parts: Cassie, in "Othello;" Gratiano, in ''The Merchant of Venice;" De Mauprat, in "Riche- lieu;" Eugene de Lorme, in Loves Sacrifice" Welborn, in "A New Way to Pay Old Debts;" Icilius, in "Virginius," and Leonardo Gonsugo, in ''The Wife,
 Sir Henry Irving had still more amazing record of varied acting in his prentice days" During three years in the provinces he appeared in no fewer than five hundred and ninety-four parts-an average of nearly four new characters every week during the whole period. Although more than forty years have gone since Sir Henry com- mitted these parts to memory there are few of them which he could not repeat to-day without even glance at the book. Oddly enough, if ever the great actors memory shows any inclination

George Heath, the winner of the Vanderbilt cup last year, said that he always suffered with nervousness for a week after long race. and had great difficulty in getting sleep. Although a man of great wealth. he is facinated by racing and will be a contestant this year. In talking with a reporter recently, racing man said:
 T have so often been asked the ques- tion, how does it feel to drive a rac- ing car that look upon it as one of the stereotyped questions, which up to the present time I have in no instance adequately answered to anyones satis- faction, fer the simple reason that I have never taken the trouble to ana lyze my feelings when driving.
 One has very wearing experience the week before the race, when it is necessary to be at the factory and over look the final work on the car just be- fore it is ready for the road. Early in the morning until late at night one is at it. A little spin of half an hour, and then back to the works; the whole car then pulled to pieces, anoth- CT wearying wait until it is ready to go out again, through some small point having to be changed; then out again for a ten minutes run and again the car has to be taken down.
 T remember a friend of mine while was waiting with my car at the start of race, which eventually won asking me how felt, and I could on- ly reply that I was exceedingly bored. Of course this feeling goes immediate ly one is really started, and as the car settles down into her speed one idea dominates, namely to get over the ground as quickly as possible.
 The incidents in driving are SO fleet ing and varied that at the end of a race it is almost impossible to recall them, although they appear of vital importance to the driver A slight hesitation of the motor or apparent

4 SOLEMN FEAR.

It is interesting to notice the solemn fear with which the student mind con- templates the awful suggestion that the Freshman class be cut out of the games as a punishment for the York street antics. Anything but that, is the cry. Let the Freshman knee be bent in suppliance for the forgiveness of the City Hall; even let the rioters be ar rested, if "evidence' can be got. But for Heavens sake, and for Yale's sake, don't cut the Freshmen off from play ing with the other boys. Thus saith the Yale News: Discussion has been started as to an adequate method of punishment, and it has been rumored that the class might be deprived of it's athletic teams. We hope the faculty will not adopt this method, because this would punish most harshly the members of the teams who probably had as small part in the disturbance as any of the class. It also would pun- ish the Scientific school freshmen, who are absolutely innocent of the affair. It would take away one of the strongest ties that bind Yale closely with the surrounding preparatory schools. Fi- nally, it would keep the memory of this disgrace before the minds of people outside of the university long after it would otherwise have been completely forgotten.
 There are some indications that such 8 cruel and unusual punishment as, in- terfering with "athletics" would be will not be inflicted by a reasoning and req sonable Faculty, devoted to upholding the vital interests of great University But there will be fear and trembling until the danger is past. Perhaps if the danger is allowed to continue a few days that will be punishment enough to reduce the whole gang to it's lowest terms.

HOW TO GET B UsTNEss IN CHINA.

MT. Anderson, the United States consul at Annoy, China, gives United States business men what seems to be valuable advice about doing business in China. He tells them that they must introduce United States business meth ods in China if they expect to get the full benefit of the trade opportunities there, and especially to send out con- mercial travellers. Already some of the firms have done this, and the result has been most satisfactory according to this authority. He calls attention to the fact that the Standard Oil Com pany has personal representatives on the spot by dividing the territory into districts, which are placed in charge of Americans, who, employing the Chinese as sub-agents, work through them for business in the interior. The employ ment of these personal representatives

GREAT COUNTRY, GREAT TIMES.

Business is certainly business in this country this year. Prosperity prevails everywhere. The corn crop breaks the record. the cotton crop is larger than last year and the wheat crop is the sec- ond largest we have ever had. The out put of iron and steel is exceptional and the manufactories are everywhere on full time. Banks are multiplying and their clearings indicate expanded busi- ness, while the volume of money in circulation is the largest on record. The wholesale dealers and job6ers an- nounce extraordinary sales. The rail- roads have all their rolling stock en- ployed and obtain increased earnings from increased service rendered. Gold is flowing into the country. Exports of both foodstuffs and manufactures promise to exceed those of last year. Almost everywhere building is active, as is shown by the reports of the lum- Der trade, the structural steel makers and hardware sellers. And in the first seven months of the calendar year the net increased writing of insurance pol icies by fifty-six companies has been $5S, ,OOO, ,OOO more than in the like period of last year.
 Lest we forget seems appropriate about this time. This country is right on the top wave and going along rapid lv and smoothly.

When using baking powder it is always econ omy to buy the Royal. Royal makes the finest, most wholesome and de- licious food.

slipping of the clutch are things in themselves to make the driver of the car fear and tremble that his troubles fear and trernble that his troubles are commencing. A .chocked-up luDriea- tor, and in imagination the whole en- zine is fired and he is stopped beyond all hope of finishing the race. I think really the most tiring strain through out race is this dread of something happening to cause delay, and the most comforting sensation that of hearing the vicious spit of the four cylinders, steady and regular above the roar and rush of the wind
 Undoubtedly driving a racing car for prolonged period has curious effect on the driver himself. With the possibility of winning well within reach q grimness almost inhuman do- inmates his actions. It would be ask ing the impossible to go through those blinding dust clouds in passing a car in front, if this task were set him in cold blood. The collaboration of speed is necessary before the chances are taken and the corners shaved.
 ''The car in front must be passed; every seconds delay is second lost and the faster car catches its oppon- ent; the driver calculating all his chances on the opportunities presented by the road and pushing his front wheels alongside his opponent A moments suspense-the two cars seem to hang togethe:-and the victor is by and away again. It is but an incident of passing another car. And under lying all the effort and governing all the movements of the driver is uncer- tainty-that uncertainty of not know ing whether every thing is going well with him:to the end"
