II. B. Morse. the statistical secretary,
devotes an interesting paragraph of
his report to the question of the boy
colt against American goods. There
has been a considerable dislocation of
trade, which appears to have been
more marked in the minor distributing
centers, and from time to time a re-
crudescence of the agitation is still re-
ported from one place or another.
Much suspicion has been created, and
much hostility engendered, but the
general verdict is that not much in
jury has yet been caused to the Ameri-
can manufacturer and American mer-
chant, while another proof has been
given of the solidarity of international
trade and the truth of the observation
that injury to the trade of one nation
or of one commercial body is certain
to react on Others in relations with
them. The final effect of the boycott,
however. Mr.. Morse concludes, cannot
yet be seen. and the verdict on the
movement will have to be deferred to
the close of another year, or till an
even later date.

TOXIC, Aug. 1S.-High Japanese
officials deny the statements of Messrs.
]. r. Patterson. C. w. Wrightson, H.
de Gray and L. Wildwood to the effect
that the Japanese government is dis
eliminating against foreigners. Ac-
cording TO these gentlemen, who ac-

Mukden. thence to Hsinmintun and
back to Peking. Americans and Eng

in investigation of trade conditions
throughout the zone of Japanese influ-
ence I'm Manchuria and in Peking. They
made a report to Sir Robert Hart upon
their Investigations. and suggested to
him that certain trade conditions there
be called to the attention of Great
Britain.
1t should be understood in England
and America that the Toxic CONNER
cial society has memoriallzed the gov
ernor general of Liaotung, General
Baron Oshma, on the subject of south
Manchurian trade. The association
wants to know Immediately the full
carrying capacity of the East China
railroad, and has asked that a large
area OF ldn0 III the Vicinity oI DdlIy
wharf be appropriated as quickly as
possible to the building of warehouses
and other shipping facilities. This
activity on the part Of the Toxic Com

an urgent appeal that he put pressure
upon the imperial customs of China TO
establish its service in Manchuria open

Electric Light in Disease.

Electric light treatment of diseases
is reported by Russian physicians to
be effecting many cures where ordi-
nary remedies fail. Dr.. Manilow

twenty-five candle-power, testing both
blue and white bulbs, and gives ex-
posures at distances of eighteen
inches and less for fifteen to forty
five minutes at time. The patient
Is sometimes treated daily, sometimes
every third day.
The electric light alone often cures,
but supplementary aid is called upon
at times-in skin diseases, for exam

been especially marked in hysteria,
neuralgia, rheumatism and skin af-
fections.

Happy to Bed.

Whatever the child's daytime
naughtiness may have been, at night
fall he should be forgiven and go to
rest with the mothers kiss on his lips
and her tender voice in his ear.
Hardly anything can be worse for a
young child than to be scolded or
punished at bedtime and to carry into
its dreams harshness or gloom. The
mother does well to be a little blind
to some things and remember that
much childish culpability is super
ficial and washes off also as easily as
the soil from the hands and face in
the evening bath, says the Indianapo-
lis News.
Children should never be allowed
to carry with them in their thoughts
the mental sufferings which too many
parents seem to think an absolute
necessity in the careful bringing up
of children All too soon will they
have to face the world and it's sor-
rows.
When the nursery brood is un-
dressed and in bed, the lights turned
low and the room quieted for the
night, the mother or older sister can
sweeten their last waking moments
with stories before they embark for
dreamland. While the most exact
and rigid truthfulness should be
practiced in our dealings with chill
dren and they should be taught to
shun all equiyocation and lying, still
we need not fear to satisfy their WV
id baby imaglnations with the litera.
ture of fairyland. They early learn
to find the truth wrapped up in the
husk of the story.
Fairy lore is older than civiliza-
tion, and it's stories with variations
have been told and taught to chill
dren in all ages and all climes, and
their origin is in the needs and heart
of the race.

FIGHTING BOB HAD THE FACTS
A. Hitherto Untold Story Shows That
He Speaks by the Book.

The naval review at Oyster Bay,
because 1t was commanded by Admir-
al Robley d. Evans, perhaps recalls
an incident Of the Spanish war which
has not before been written about.
1t may be that it's recital at this time
will help to show how accurate
man is this officer, who has suffered
somewhat from false conception of
his character.
Admiral Sampson had determined
to begin the war by the lombard
ment of Havana, and on April 4,
1898, Evans, then captain, wrote
letter to the then editor of Harper's
Weekly, containing this paragraph:
81 sail have the honor of leading
in the Iowa, and when we open, at
about 500 yards, with Indiana close
astern, IL those poor chaps from the
Maine don't giggle in their collins it
will be a wonder"
This was the pregnant part of the
letter Sampson was forbidden from
Washington to attack Havana, much
to his disappointment and wrath. To
one sitting at a distance, not know
ing Evans, and knowing of the pro-
posed bombardment only IS a rumor,
the letter might have seemed a bit
of buster.
But after few months chance put
the log book of the New York, the
flagship, in the way of the recipient
of the letter and there he read Samp-
sons order for the bombardment of
Havana, giving the order of the ships
and designating the distance at which
the firing should begin, precisely as
Evans had stated them in the letter.
But why go to within 500 yards of
the new forts, which were much more
heavily armed than the ships of
Simpsons fleet? Months after read
ing the log book the recipient of the
letter attended dinner given in hon.
or of Admiral Sampson.
The Admiral made there one of
the few speeches of his life, and in
it he told the reason-a reason char
acteristic of his keen judgment and
of his boldness-for selecting 500
yards. He had found out that short
time before the Spaniards had mo-
hehtdlily dWdheHeu lTom tHelr usual
torpor and had practiced from the
new works, firing at floating targets.
They had floated these targets past
their guns at 5000 yards.
Sampson at once concluded that
they supposed that he would attack
at that distance and quickly deter
mined to go in at 500 yards, for, he
explained, the Spaniards having once
fixed their sights for a traget 5000
yards away would not be able to
change them, but would fire over his
ships until he had dismounted their
heavy pieces by his rapid fire guns.
So the chain was completed, for we
had the facts and the reason for
them.-Harper's Weekly.
