Detailed Statement of Articles Bought
From Merchants of the Celes-

WY cannot two play at the game of
trade boNcotttng? is a question which may
pe propounded in connection with China's
present attitude toward the commerce of
the United States. While Il Is triIc TINT
China buys goods OF the United
States than this country buys Of China II
Is also a fact that China has a stake at
issue worth considering
ii American merchants should determine
To boycott Chinese importations pendInp
the existence OF the boycott against Ameri-
can goods by chinese merchants, Il would
make quite a hole in China's foreign trade
The latest figures collected by the bureau
of statistics of the Department OF Com
merce and Labor show that in the fiscal
year ending June 80 1895, the United
States bought from China, including the
port OF Hongkong, for which separate
figures are made, merchandise to the value
or $3O.OU,OoV In round numbers. We sold
In the same period to China and tho dis
tributing port of Hongkong about S63 600
oOO worth of goods.
IL is interesting TO note, however, that
the bulk Of the goods pure hased from
emma were not OF a class which renders
this country dependent upon China We
bought the same things in larger quantities
from Japan, and 1t would probably not be
dlncuit TO transfer the prcponderance of
the trade to Japan If Il should be deter
mined TO retaliate with Il boycott

More Timely Advice from Ernest Harold Baynes-Price of Success Lies in Management, He

The price of success in the manage ment of game preserve is continual, careful and intelligent forethought. l am constantly reminded of this fact as I note from week to week the work which goes quietly along in the Blue Mountain forest, commonly known as Corbin Park, near Newport, N. H., the largest fenced game preserve in America. To tell of the work which IS done in the course of year inside the 35 miles of fence which marks the boundary of the vasv lnclosure, would take much more space than Is allotted to .this article.

Watch the front wheel said ven crable citizen the other day, just after he had witnessed serious accident OH Pennsylvania avenue, in which n man had been knocked down and run over by a wagon.

But watch the near front wheel and you will find it an easy matter to avoid an approaching team. even though it he q runaway.

EARLY CLOSING IN SCOTLAND

Theater and Railway Stations Only
 Places Open After 10 O'clock.
 If a man living in Glasgow or Edin- burgh wishes to obtain alcoholic re. freshment after 10 o'clock at night he must either purchase railway ticket or a seat at theater.
 Up till last May the closing time was II o'clock, but since then d recently passed act has made it compulsory for them to shut up at 10.
 The results to visitor are curious and striking. In Edinburgh on Fri day night, between the hours of 9 and 10, l saw public houses in prominent parts of the city where men stood four feet deep at the counters anxious for refreshment before the house closed. They stood at the bars silent and deter mined.
 At 10 up went the shutters and out came the customers into the street, and l was in the midst of great city full of light and hustle. where numberless shops were still thrOnged with people going and coming. and where every ] public house and every restaurant with license was closed to the ordinary | traveller.
 The only place of refreshment was cOnfectiOner's shop, where chocolate and ginger beer could be purchased.
 Faithfully, Edinburgh did not seem to mind it's deprivation, and the crowds went on their way cheerfully. Among the moving throng between 10 and Il I saw q few drunken men, but not many. Edinburgh, with it's main streets filled with lively crowds, was strikingly orderly and sober.
 As to ''shebeening" as the result of the new law, there seems to be but little that did not exist before. Nor is club drinking largely on the increase. People take away drink from the pub lie houses and consume it either in the streets or at home, but not to an extent tc frlghten the reformers.
 When the new rule was eStab- lished," said a prominent police official, ''the regular drinkers resented it and out of sheer bravado they drank more than ever. with the result that we got an increased number of charges. 'SOme of them would even bring bot. ties of whiskey around here in front of the police office and drink their con. tents and then smash the bottles Oh the pavement in defiance. The natural effect of the 10 o'clock closing, how ever. is now showing Itself, and in the last three months we have had a steady diminution of charges"
 One license holder says that not long ago some young men, on the approach Of 10. secured a supply of whiskey and , then adjourned to an ice. cream shop where they drank it at their leisure. diluted with ginger beer.
 There are only two instances where one can get drink here now after 10.' said Scotsman at Glasgow. "They are the railway stations, if you are n i travc!er. and the theaters where, ii you have taken a seat, you can get served til the curtain falls. Many of Ills. hard driven by necessity after 1b o'clock. have been compelled to wit. ness so!no portion of your London mel. cdramas. ."-London Daily Mail.

UNKNOWN ANIMALS.

There are two animals practical, unknown to the outside world. These are the pigmy. or Liberian hippopota. mus. and the Derbian eland. The first named is just what it's name implie:;, q pigmy hippOpotamus. differing from the larger and common variety in three respects only In the first place it is much smaller than the common hippopotamus amphibius. being no larger than an ordinary fair sized hog: in the second place it differs somewhat from the common hippo in the charsc- ter of it's teeth. and in the third pl1e. instead of spending it's time in the riv. CTS and Ekes in large herds. it wan ders about through the iunyleS sinyly or in pairs. much after the manner of swine in search of mast. Owing to the fact that it does not go in herds, and is hard to distinguish against the dark background of jungle thickets. ir is an exceedingly difficult animal to hunt or find If anything the legs of the dwarf Liberian hippopotamus are q trifie longer. in proportion. than are those of the common river hippOpota. mus
 Next to the Liberian hippopotamus the Derbian eland of West Africa. which the Nandingoes call .-Jinke jan ko.- is to-day the least known of all rare and strange animals.
 Even though Great Britain. France and Liberia own practically the whole O. the Northwest African coast no specimen of the Derbian eland has thus far reached Europe or this country. and next to the ckapi it is indeed tho least known of all game animaIs- . Outing
