IMPORTS AND GOOD TIMES.
Extent to Which the Two Run Parallel
Survey of Thirty Five Years.

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 been asked, What have been the
previous fluctuations up and down in this
branch of trade, and what have they sigui-
fed? Going back no further than 1870, i'm
ports increased rapidly up to the fiscal
year 1873; they rose from $435, 900, 900 in the
one year to $6i2 ,00O. 600 in the other. From
then until 1875 they declined, reaching
$533, 600 600 in 1879. A slow recovery
marked first by frequent relapses then by
violently rapid expansion, brought them to
S724, Coz, 600 in 1882.
Then came three years decline to $577,-
100000 In 1885; next a revival which
raised the annual record to $685. 400,000 in
the fiscal year 1893. After the panic came
a great collapse. and five years later in
1898 the total. $616,o00,0O0, was the small
est since 1885. In the subsequent expan-
sion the total rose to 81 OPS. 700, 600 in 1908
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-
laton; that financial crash and the con-
violently, a. that, as 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
or was not the highest cannot be known
until after the trade reaction has re-
duced IL.

ANOTHER INsIDIoUs ENEMY.
Physician Points Out Danger That
Turks in Mustard Pot.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Even though we avoid all drafts; even
though we refuse to touch anything that is
not thoroughly sterilized; even if we snun
the hydrant water; even If we dodge the
germs in the paper money, we are still
lar from secure against trouble If we per-
sist in using mustard on our ham sand
wiches
The mustard bottle looks innocent
enough, but this only serves to make IL al
the more dangerous. If a mustard bottle
were something whose appearance repealed
US, something that We would naturally
shrink from in horror, 1t could do us little
harm. 1t is that demhre yet fascinating ex-
preston which il takes on especially in
the presence of A ham sandwich that al
lures us and finally leads us to destruction.
In the mustard bottle, in the mustar lar
nay, in the mustard cup, is concealed rhe

thin layer of mustard on the upper 8 do
OF the ham, and, after giving ii a graceful
Zip, another layer on the under side that
we are paving the way for a thirst which
scorer or later will cry loudly for a schoon-
er. but such, alas! is the case. Dr. David
Faulsen, who has investigated the matter,
and who therefore knows all about 1t. de-
clares:
Thousands of young men buy these sand
witches and spread them over with mustard
and before they have finished eating they
want drink. Poorly cooked and highly
seasoned food creates thirst that the town
pump cannot satisfy"
1t is nonsense TO hold that the average
young man is possessed of a moral charge
ter which enables him to rise above the
mustard on his ham. an even above the
nam itself. 1t is not his moral character.

Missionary Life.

NEW YORK, April From a letter re-
ceived at the offices of the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions, il is evident thai
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: IT
remained over night. After supper we had
service, and as the people We're afterward
leaving there was heard the firing of a gun
on the street outside. A cry of 'Robbersr
went up. Some flew to the front door and
barricaded it. All the lights were blown
out and 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 furious
uproar on the street. In front of the inn
a gun was fired every few minutes. There
were loud cries for help and constant
succession of yells. We could hear men
running over the roof, sounding as though
they were trying to break in. From the
noise one would have imagined a 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 man had
been killed, but in the morning we learned
that no one had leen injured, that the rob-
bers numbered only twenty-eight, and that
they had gotten only about thirty dollars
worth of booty"

Flag Lockers of Big Hotels.
rom the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Nowadays the flag lockers" Of the big
hotels are almost as important as are the
same receptacles on seagoing vessels. In
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 flags are hoisted and lowered at the
proper time.
Naturally every hotel even the big ones.

Nerves Of Fish.
From the Boston Transcript.


The angler who always insists that his
companion, if he is SO unfortunate as to be
obliged to have one, on a fishing trip shall
whisper IL he has anything to say that
will not keep till all the suspense is over
will feel like going to Washington and CIV
ing the Department of Commerce and Labor
a piece of his mind for reporting that gun
merry scares fish but little. To be sure, fish
that are scared off their grounds may,
when the trouble is over, return and be
caught, but for how long time, for how
many days In succession. can they stand
being vibrated so far out to sea that they
are out of earshot of all the row? Fish
are wary, the gamier they. are the warier,
and two together and decide that certain
deep-sea haunts are unpleasant abiding
places. Why shouldn't fish have nerves as
well as the rest OF us and mako up their
minds that even IL the big guns wouldn't
hurt them they would just as lief be killed
as scared to death2
