Out of the 2o,ooO,- 900 people in that country only about thirty-five per cent. can read or write, and iii the south of Spain it is impos- sible to hire anything but illiterate servants.

The Japanese are observing. Prof. Chamberlain. the great English au- thority upon all things Japanese, says: Prom hints dropped by several of the educated, and from the still more in- l teresting, because frankly naive. re- | marks made by Japanese servants whom have taken with me to Eu- rope at different times, found that the travelled Japanese consider our 1 three most prominent characteristics 1 to be dirt, laziness and superstition" There is no genuine animal history recorded that is so ancient as that con- nected with the Arabian horse, and there naturally has been great deal 1 of conjecture as to where he came from. While there is but one general
 breed of Arab horses, writes Homer Davenport, in the current Woman s 1 Home Companion, there are many sub | families, and of these there are five ] primary families called the Khamseh

Weak Kidneys

Cause more trou ble than any other organ oc the body. The function of the kidneys is to separate inorganic salt and water in the pro- cess of circulation, and to remove them and their attendant poisons from the body through the bladder. Therefore when the kidneys become diseased and weak they are naturally unable to perform their work properly, and pains in the back. inflammation of the bladder and urinary disorders are the result. It Is imperative that prompt relief be afforded, which is impossible unless you remove the cause.
 DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills promptly eliminate poisons from the system and at the same time make the kidneys well and strong.
 For Weak Kidneys, Backache, in nannrl1 atiOIl of the bladder and all urinary troubles De Wits Kidney and Bladder Pills are unsurpassed

port Higher cables and expectations of relief from tight money through the meas ures proposed by the government seemed the main builish factors, and the demand came largely from Wall Street shorts. After the first hour Of covering. the demand was less active, and during the middle session prices eased off several points from the best, but steadied up again in the late trad ing on reports that a prominent spot firm in the eastern belt had estimated the crop at only 11,65G,6G0 bales. The market clos ed with two three points of the top.
 There was comparatively little news from the South regarding spot conditions. The markets officially reported were # c lower to Ac higher.

AMERICANS GET CONTRACT.
Engineering Concern to Build Largea
 Steel Plant Abroad.

New York. Nov 1S.-Americans have obtained the contract for the designing and engineering work for one of the largest iron and steel plants ever built outside of the United States.
 These plants which win cost nearly $10, 100000 are to be located in Brit ish India. where 1t is estimated that the cost of production of various iron and steel products will be less than one-half that of the most favored American steel making concerns.
 This will eventually mean that be- sides making India independent of out side supplies of rails, etc. the pro- jected works will prove most formid- able competition with not only Ameri- can but European and Japanese steel interests. The contract has been awarded to Julian Kennedy, Sahlin & Co.,, limited, of London, which was in- corpOrated about three years ago for the purpose of remodeling on Ameri- can lines, British iron and steel plants.
 The name of the new concern Is the Tata Iron and Steel Company. The plans embrace the erection of two blast furnaces with a minimum annual capacity of 120.O00 tons.

New York. Nov. 1s.-The importation of diamonds and other precious stones for the first ten months of this year showed a decrease of more than $6.0O0.000 as compared with the corre- spending period of last year.
