The Chryssnthemum.

Both in China and Japan is the chrysanthemum q great favorite. It is said that Chinese gardeners to whom the plant was first known will allow nothing to deter them from its culture. They will even give up their situations if forbidden by their en- Eloyers to grow it. Chinese emigrants. too, take this flower of their hearts" with them to other lands and cultivate it affectlonately In their exile as re- hinder of their native country.

market. Consequently they have made little attempt to sell manufactures abroad and the work of this bureau, while it may be laying the foundation for something valuable in the future, has been up to date decidedly unpro- ductive. The report of the bureau re- lterates time worn recommendations as to careful packing of goods for for eign markets, adequate representation abroad, sale by sample instead of by catalogue and prompt responses to foreign orders. If one may judge by the complaints of consuls in the inter- estng series of consular reports that the bureau issues, American manufac- turers pay absolutely no attention to the good advice thus handed out to them. If, as many believe, we are now on the verge of a period of in- dustrial depression, it is possible that AEleflCau nlduul ldCLulelo VIII h"'~ ' hunt up a foreign market and go after it with the same intelligence that they have bestowed on building up the native market If they have to do it, probably they will do it, but in the meantime the best meant efforts of the bureau of manufactures seem to be largely thrown away.

It is not pfetended that the mar ket will promptly or wholly recover from the terrific shock which it re- ceived in October last, says Banker Clews. For some time to come irreg- ular markets must be expected with more or less depression and inertia. It must also be remembered that there is comparatively little money available for investment. The coun- try's liquid capital has been practic- ally exhausted, so that time will be required for the accumulation of a fresh supply; and in view of the re actionary tendencies which have de- veloped in business, 1t is quite prob able that a longer period than usual will be required for saving purposes. Another factor which must not be overlooked is that in spite of the large volume of business profits are showing a material shlinkage, owing to the immensely augmented cost of doing business. This is strikingly illustrated in the current returns of railroad earnings. In September the roads reporting showed gain of over 3,O00.0OO in gross earnings, while net earnings showed a loss of $3,600,000. During the nine months ending September t'."~e vas an increase of S156,500,UOO in gross earnings accompanied by an in- crease of only $15.OOO,00O Tn net earnings. This is an almost start ling diminution of railroad profits, especially when 1t is considered that gross earnings are making less and less satisfactory returns, while the increases of expenses are still abnor- nal. No doubt the railroads will soon be compelled to make every possible economy in operations. Many improvements and extensions have already been postponed, and it is a serious question in the minds of con- servative managers whether it will be either possible or good policy to maintain the high rates of dividends which have recently been paid, es- pecially in view of the very low prices at which many excellent stocks are selling.

His Profession.

In the midst of our tea drinking in the little Parisian restaurant, says Miss Betham- Edwards in an account of Home Life In France" gentle manly individual wearing tall hat and frock coat entered and. after a short colloquy with the young master, passed out.
 You would never guess that gentle mans errand." Marcel said. smiling. as he reseated himself at the tea table.
 He looked to me like rather dis tinguished customer" replied. Some government functionary on half pay or an owner of bonds."
 Marcel smiled again.
 That well dressed gentleman, then. supplies us with toothpicks, which his wife makes at home. He calls once a month and takes our orders. dare say he and his wife between them make from SC to SS a week and con trive to keep up appearances on that sum. It is an instance of what one calls 'gilded poverty"

MONDAY, DEC 2, 1907.

Public confidence cannot be restored until the state and federal authorities send the men who have footed cor porations to jail is the opinion of Stuy- vcsant Fish, and politicians note with interest the similarity of tLis big financier's proposed remedies and the policy adopted by President Roosevelt. Mr Fish maintains that the present financial crisis is due to utter lack of confidence in corporate management as controlled and directed from Wall street, and that such lack of confi- dence is world wide. gro re-establish confidence abroad we must first re- establish it at home, and particularly in the agricultural communities of the west and south, where the real wealth of this country is annually taken out of the soil in the shape of crops, lum- Der, coal and other minerals. It has been said that there were two ways of avoiding this panic: First, by corpora tions purging themselves-cleaninS their own houses; second, by the strong arm of the government putting some of the rascals in jail. Neither the corporation nor the government, state or federal, has yet acted efficient ly, hence we are confronted with a period of depression in general busi- ness which is real and widespread, and must of necessity last until con- fidence is restored. This, again, can be expedited by vigorous action on the part of the corporations or gov ernment, or delayed indefinitely through inaction.

How a Flea Jumps.

It is said that flea leaps 200 times its height and. while it usually does land on its .eet, it often falls. especial ly when 1t falls on a perfectly smooth surface where the claws can get only a slight hold. A flea has six legs, whose great length and bulk make them so heavy that they must be q great help in keeping their owner right side up when it makes one of these gigantic jumps. and when it lands up- side down or in some other way its ability to kick is so great that not more than one wriggle Is needed to set things right. A fea's wings are mere scales and of no use; but. small and worthless as they are. they tell the entomologist something about the proper classification of the insect. To the flea itself they have no value.

This bureau was established a few years ago. aP- parently in the hope that American manufacturers would take advantage Of it and help to build the foreign trade Of this country 10 something like ifs proper proportions The bureau has not been Overburdened with mOn- ey, it is true, and it probably has done as we'll as could be expected with the funds it had to expeud. But there has been a Iamentable and almost unan- imous lack of appreciation on the part of manufacturers Of the work the gov ernment has attempted to set on foot in their behalf. says a Washington
 writer. This country has an immense foreign trade. but it is a trade almost entirely in raw materials. Our wheat and cotton crops aRI OUT exports of meat. minerals and forest products constitute almost the sum total of our foreign sales Ameriean manufac- tursrs have not come to the point yes shere they have to have a foreign

 Coming down again to the eagle on the new gold $10 piece, half the people couldn't tell whether it is an eagle or turkey. St Gaudens evidently banked on this ignorance. Perhaps Roosevelt did, tco, although he is popularly believed to be out for square deal. A man tried to pass one of the new coins on State street recent ly. It was such clumsy looking piece that the storepeeper would have had the police take him in as a con- fidcnce operator had not a passing friend identified this malefactor or great wealth-New Haven Palladium.
 In an English manufactory last week fire was discovered. About 1.S00 persons were employed there, monstly women. To give an alarm would have caused a panic and many lives might have been lost.

Fiohtinu Geese.

In Russia pits for cock fighting are unknown, but goose pits" some sixty years ago were common throughout that mighty kingdom. The effect of this can be seen today in the geese which are indigenous to the country. the Arsamas and the Tula varieties particularly showing to a marked de- gree the fighting characters of their ancestors. The Arsamas gander has a bill which is entirely different in form from that of the geese known in any other part of the world. This spe- clal structure enables inc bird to take a firm grip on the neck or back of its antagonist.

a Church without services.

There is in London, within a few
yards Of the beautiful marble arch in
Hyde park. church in which no serv-
Ices are ever held. This Church Of the
Ascension. as it is called, was built by
Mrs Russell Quincy as memorial to
her husband, and she expressly stated
that the edifice was to be used for
prayer, rest and meditation solely. a
handsome building it is. with its tessel-
lated floors and its numerous fine paint
ings. Over the door is posted this no.
tice, explaining the true object Of the
church: Passengers through the busy
streets Of London, enter this sanctuary
for rest and silence and prayer. Let
the pictured walls within speak Of the
past yet ever continuing ways Of God
with man. !"
