 Most of these names being common some other sign had to be added to distinguish the inn of John Fox from that of Robert Fox or Thomas Fox. The result was 6 great diversity of more or less incomprehensible double signs, such as the following: Fox and Gap Fox and Crane, Fox and Grown, Fox and Duck, Fox and Goose, Fox and Knot, Fox and Owl, Fox and Punch bowl, etc., also the Bell and Candle stick, Bell and Blackhorse, Bell and Anchor, etc,
 Later, however, the ever-increasing number of taverns forced the landlord to adopt more original signs than those derived from heraldry, the saint or dig nitaries Cf the church, or his own name.

Bees Attack ShopDery,

A swarm of honey bees caused q small sized panic on North Main street, Bristol, during the busy shop- ping hours Wednesday night
 The bees were hived iil large tree or the bank opposite Browns news emporium. A man with bag att tempted to corral the hive and suc- ceeded in getting about half of ths bees into a bag, when suddenly they broke loose and the humming and whizzing that followed riva:ed a buzz saw ripping through pine tree at ex- press train speed.
 Blinded by the glare of the store lights the bees swarmed in full force against the windows of the stores along the street, lighting on traders and people passing by. Their sudden descent came like thunderbolt from clear sky and as they commenced to make themselves felt there was a great hurrying for shelter.
 The crowd commenced rubbing themselves, and the hot remarks that followed would melt snowfall. The bees lodged in the screen nettings and back of the counters, and it was a long time before the last one was dis- posed of

SMALL OR LARGE COLLEGE.

The question of keeping a college small, in the numbers of it's students, or of allowing it to grow in size, and necessarily in equipment and educa- tional advantages, is one which has come to each of the great and success ful American colleges in turn. On the other hand, the very consideration of such question, of course, implies @ striking success in the educational field. The poorly conducted college, the badly equipped. the unsuitably lo- cated college, does not attract such a steady annual increase in the num- Der of entering students, that the col- lege authorities begin to grow worried
 The problem which the trustees and the alumni of Williams college have been discussing this week, then, may trouble them and may be fraught with much importance to the future of the college. But in any case It's ex- istence may well cause satisfaction among the friends of the college.
 The idea that a college may become too successful, in the way of attract ing students, may be novel to the gen. eral public, but 1t is a pretty serious question to many institutions. The institute of technology, for example, even without dormitories, chapel, of the many special buildings demanded by most colleges where the student is housed as well as taught, has faced this problem and is to-day considering the advlsabillty of re-
 building in the suburbs. The Law renee scientific school at Harvard has islced 1t and is gradually aiming to restrict its course to college gradu- ates alone. Tn other words, one insti- tuition is expanding it's facilities while the other Is increasing it's entrance re-
 quirements. Something of the same sort must happen at Wiliamstown. Either the college must make adequate
 provision for more students, or 1t must restrict the terms upon which
 applicants may be admitted, President

that ample facilities are afforded for rifle range which would require no backstops, as the trajectory of the flr- ed rifle ball would strike the ground before it had reached the water in the rear of the target Behind the tar gets would be small timber which would form an effective screen and also an excellent background in view ing the targets. The cost of trans portation of the various organizations between their home stations and this site would be less than from any point farther removed from Jacksonville. Gen. Sackett says If the National ri- fle matches should be held in Florida it would prove most beneficial to the troops of the State and greatly in- crease public interest in military af- fairs. Surgeon General Henry Bacon also approves this site.
 It is a source of regret that the Philippines will not be represented by team at the National matches. The military authorities in the Philippines requested permission to send a team, the membership of which should come from those regiments under orders to return to the United States. The War department disapproved the suggestion as it would necessitate some members returning fully five months ahead of the regiments and would thus operate as a discrimination against those members of the Philippines division team whose regiments are not under l orders to return home

AMERICAN TRADE
 IN PHILIPPINES The Reasons Why So Many Failures to Succeed
 on Record.
THE LOCAL CONDITIONS
Important Suggestions Made to Our American
 Shippers.

The following pages are taken from report on trade conditions in the Philippine Islands furnished by Special Agent w. A. Graham Clark: If mar kets of the Orient are to be captured and held by Americans they must get a large number of their representatives entrenched in those markets within the next few years. The longer move ment of this character is delayed the more firmly will their rivals be estab- lished and the greater the difficulty in prevailing against them. If manufac- turer believes that he will need an out let within the next few years he should have an agent out now studying the field. In all foreign markets there are certain peculiarities and requirements of the trade and fixed customs and habits of the people that must be thor oughly learned to obtain and success fully hold the market, The presence of American agents is always of the first importance. They should if possible, be permanent agents.
 ''In the Philippines, in certain lines, the United States is well represented; in others scarcely at all. One of the largest jewelry houses in Manila, for instance, said that all their jewelry came from France; that they wanted to buy American jewelry, but no trav- elers came to see them. The last time drummer for an American house called on them was about two years ago, the salesman being an English man, who had but small line of sam ples. He seemed utterly indifferent as to whether he sold anything or not They, however, placed an order with him for rush shipment, giving the American and other banks for reference as to their reliability. Tn two months word was received that the American house would ship nothing unless pre- paid The jewellers promptly wired the amount of the order and cabled the American house to this effect. The goods reached them finally 190 days af- ter the order was placed badly packed and without consular invoice They had to give bond to the custom house and write for the consular invoice. They said that the goods, with the exception of one or two damaged on account of bad packing, were entirely satisfactory, and that they would like to buy more in the United States, but that the Americans had seemed so indifferent tc their orders, and this shipment had given them so much trouble, they decid- ed to continue ordering from France In this instance there was no question of risk involved as the importing firm is one of the largest in its line In Ma nila. and the standing of any firm in the city can easily be ascertained from the International Banking corporation or from other banks.

copy can be had from tho Bureau of Insular Affairs at Washington. Some goods are dutiabls on gross weight. some on net weight. and some ad valoren. Goods of various classes should not be packed in the same case. By studying these and other details the exporter can save the importer trouble and expense, and make the business more satisfactory to both par ties"

number of students; but while that may be advisable for a special school, 1t certainly has not been the solution most American colleges have adopted. Tn opite of the increase in She number of It's students, Williams is still a

Demands for Latest Styles.

Tt may be noted that Manila keeps fully abreast of the latest styles in the jewelry line, and that it is not a place that can be used as dumping ground for articles unstable elsewhere, There is in the Orient a chain of for jewelry firms, covering Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tientsin, and Yokohama, that receive from Berlin, Paris, etc, the latest designs, exhibit them for a while at one place, and then forward the remainder to the next place. Some of these shipments are diverted to Ma nila and sold there, and the jewelry stores of Manila are filled with the best in their line.
 tThe question of credit is one that is much discussed. Long-term credits are not the factor in the Philippine trade that they were under Spanish rule, but the system of cash before shipment or even cash on delivery IS still a draw back to American trade, There Is an American bank in the Philippines, and an inquiry at the home bank in the United States will furnish trustworthy information as to the standing of any merchant or importer in the archipela- go. In shipping to reliable firms, when reqeusted, four or six months drafts or other favorable terms should be free- ly granted. Such a course would be safe and tend greatly to build up American business. The Philippines are a de- pendency of the United States, but all nations of the world compete at Manila. and Philippine trade is not dependent on the United States This fact should not be forgotten.
 Tn regard to packing 1t is the same old story of cases too light, using the same cases for round the world" ship ments that are used for "round the cor ner" shipments in the United States, and packing together goods of dissim- liar kinds, such as jugs and hardware. Every manufacturer who reads com- merclal reports knows that there is complaint in a great many places in foreign lands as 10 American packing. When such packing Is found to be cre- atinig a prejudice against Americ&n SuCdS, IL IS lO luG llISCL interest or the manufacturer to have 1t reported. There is very considerable complaint as to the way American goods are re- ceived in the Philippines. Several spe- cifc instances of this have come under my observation. On the way to Japan from San Francisco one of the first men met was Manila merchant re- turning from making purchases in the United States. He said he had been purchasing furniture. but that he had ordered nearly all his furniture, such as bookcases, bureaus, etc, without glasses or mirrors, ard had written to Belgium for these. He ordered furniture from the United States because he could obtain better designs and better finish in the United States than in Europe, but he ordered the glass from Belgium because he had never been able to obtain @ shipment of glass from the United States, either from the makers Or from the furniture men, without part or all of it having to be carried away from the eustomhouse in baskets.

Catalogues pnd Cable Codes.

"The finest catalogues in the world are issued by American firms, but these are not always as practical from the viewpoint of the long-dstance purchaser as they are from that of the nearby purchaser. For the Philippines, catalogues should be issued in English and Spanish, and those sent that fit the case. In either case the catalogues should be tastily gotten up, but above all in 0 business-like way. Use large, clear type and good paer. Some kinds Of glazed paper, with faintly linked letters, half hidden by veins or scholl work around the edges and corners, may make an artistic catalogue, but one hard to read in the glare of the Tropics. The name and address of the firm should be on the front and on every page, and each catalogue should have a comprehensive index.
 For foreign use, at least, it is ne- cessary for each article to have a code name. From the Philippines the cable rate per word is SLIP, and every word in the address and signature Is paid for at the same rate. It saves so much time, however, that the cable is used as fully as the telegraph in the United States, but naturally prefer ence exists for the house that has a code word for each article offered. Both weight and measurements of ar- ticles should be given in the cata- logues. Usually goods overland go by weight and goods by suez by measure ment, so it is important for a foreign merchant to have both, in order that he may see how to order his goods routed to best advantage. The weight should be stated both net and boxed. The measurements of the box should be given in cubic feet. Cata- logues should clearly and explicitly describe the goods, their requirements and possibilities. Over a half dozen testimonials are regarded as nuIs- ance and rarely read.
 Before shipping goods to the Phil- ippine Islands the manufactures should study the Philippine tariff. A
