n foreign question now pend
ing before the State department
is giving half as much trouble as
the settlement of our trade rela-
tons with China. 1t is beginning
to be understood that the Chinese
are in deadly earnest. and while
the government is not involved
the strongest commercial bodies
in China are responsible for the
boycott OF American goods, which
actually has begun in half dozen
big cities and, it is believed, will
spread.
The Chinese government, as a
matter of form, has issued a
special order denouncing the pro-
posed boycott, reciting the fact
that the United States, more than
any other nation, was firm friend
to China at the time when all the
world was ready to destroy the
empire.
The unpleasant feature Of the
case is that the State department
has been unable to devise any
method Of convincing the Chinese
that the United States still is
friendly.

An INDECENT Hebrew who had
been treated at one of the city
hospitals recently complained that
while there the word "Fakir" was
branded on his chest. On inves-
tigation it appeared that he was
being treated for neuralgia pains
in the chest with the thermacau-
terry, and that while one inferno
was making the application, an
other doctor entered the room and
remarked that the man was a
fakir. In response to an uncon-
scious impulse, as he alleges, the
manipulation of the cautery traced
the letters in question on the mans
chest, an act for which he was
summary dismissed from his
position on the house staff. Ac-
cording to one newspaper account
OF the affair, the thermocautery is
an instrument by means of which
particles of benzine are elected
under the skin and ignited by an
electric spark'-Kansas City Jour
nal.

FOUR BILLIONS OF CROPS.

At this season the attention OF
the entire financial and business
community is turned to the crops
and upon their growth and ripenln
depends the immediate prosperity
of the nation.
With the country just recover
| ing from what threatened a short
time ago to be a serious industrial
prostration, perhaps never before
was the importance Of the harvest
more pronounced.
Ii the figures of experts are to
be believed, nature promises to
this country this fall the most
beautiful harvest in the history OF
the nation.
There have been larger yields in
practically one Of the principal
crops than are indicated at the
present time, but the average
yield is extremely high and the
total value OF all the crops.
figured at the high prices that are
prevailing, it is likely to be the
largest known.
With the governments report of
the condition on July 1, as basis
here are some of the startling
figures Of profit in the growing Of
the crops.
The indicated yield of 705, 625. 900
bushels of wheat at the ruling
price of 81 cents a bushel would
mean 1913, sos, $50.
The probable yield Of corn, es-
timated at 1851 200, 900 bushels, at
81 cents bushel, would mean a
value Of ST, 800, 900.
The estimated yield OF 949, 69S, 900
bushels of oats at 80 cents bushel
would be worth 1903, 900. 1850.
Of barley a yield of al 1862 900
bushels figures a value of S53, 557,-i
900. Sixty-five million tons of
hay at $40 a ton would be worth
$3.50, 600 Ten million bales Of
cotton may be estimated at $780,
600, 900.
With cotton seed crop worth
$50, 900, 900 the grand total Of these
crops would be S3,711,1SS.O1O
There are besides number of
smaller crops, which added make
the total the total value of the
harvest well over 81 200, OOO,O 900.
1t is by this enormous sum that
nature will this year bless the
country, if the present fair prom
i-c Of the crops is continued.
Doubtless there will yet come
many vicissitudes Of weather
which will'cause more or less in
jury to growing things, but the
present outlook is so ssgood that
nothing short of the most wide
spread floods oe long continued
drouth can prevent the country
from being enormously enriched.
Four billions of money from the
soil-this is what nature promises
to permit the people Of this coun-
try to acquire this year. This is
what makes the promise of pros
perity so great.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.
