A short week has been inaugurated among the workers at Calcutta, In- dia, but not for their benefit by any means, but for the good of the men wno control the business. We are told that a gentleman's agreement has been made between four of the largest. burlap mills in that market to run their plants only five days a week. Other mills, it is believed, will follow this lead in the near fu- ture. The short-time schedule was arranged to take effect August 1. The reason for the curtailment Is said to be for the purpose of Keeping the price of jute down as much as pos sible and not using any more than can be helped until sufficient sup ply comes into the market to arrest the increase in price.

Undoubtedly one reason why more Chinese students have not visited the United States is because of immigra- ton restriction. says one writer. A year ago there were about 2.5O0 Chinese students in Japan. Now there are fully a thousand more. There is. on the part of the Chinese officials concerned. a strongly mark ed disposition to send students who intend to study abroad to Japan. rather than to European countries and especially to the United States. The anti-Americsn boycott agitation
 In China has been furthered by stu dents more than by any other ele- ment. The business relations of the United States and China have been threatened more by this non-com- merciai portion of the population than by any other, It is unsettIing and. having nothing at stake. ire sponsible.

It is estimated that at least g. o0o,0OO bales of cotton are lost throughout the south every year be- cause of frost and scattered cotton left in the field by the pickers. Ac- cording to correspondent of the Manufacturers Record of Baltimore machine has been invented, called the cotton separator, which will save nearly all this loss. It remains to be tested. however. t is claimed for it that the cotton boil can be saved by this machine for grinding and feed ing cattle, which will be of great value to the cotton growers. The separator uses series of saws oper- ated by pneumatic system.

 The total exports in cotton from the port of New York from January to July 24 aggregated 166,S4s bales, of the value of $s,41S,s57. In the same time last year the value oi the exports was $10.491,014. The value this year was never exceeded excepting in 1905 and in 1899. There has been falling of in the exports to the Orient. That there nas been a stop in trade from causes that are unusual in commercial channels is admitted, but it is believed to be more of temporary character than some reports indicate.

Soreness and Excruciating Pains
"A Western Ladys
WONDERFUL CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Last year at this time I suffered
with tremendous itching on my
back, which grew worse and worse, un-
til it spread over the whole body, and
only my face and hands were free.
For four months or 80 I suffered the
torments of the damned, and had to
scratch, scratch, scratch, until I bled.
At night when I went to bed things
got worse, and I had at times to get
up and scratch my body all over, until
i was as sore as could be, and until I
suffered excruciating pains. did not
know what it was, and resorted to a
number of blood purifiers, using at
times also Cuticura Soap. They told
me then that I was suffering from
eczema. Then I, made up my mind
that would also use Cuticura ONT
ment and Cuticura Resolvent. I used
them according to instructions, and verv
soon indeed l was greatly relieved. I
continued until well, and now am
ready to recommend the Cuticura Rem
edles to any one who suffers as did your
