present some ominous facts. For in
stance. reference is made to divi divi,
leeches. rose leaves, dragons blood,
palladium, musk. birds, wild animals,
chicle and cobras.
The value of the imports of the last
decade of divi divi, which is used for
tanning purposes. is placed at $4,000.
In the same period the value of leech-
es brought in was $4,000; rose leaves
$4,000, and chicle. largely used in
the manufacture of gum, $8.000,O0O.
During the year 1908 the musk i'm.
portations exceeded $4,000, while the
quantity of palladium, rare metal
used in the manufacture of astron-
omical instruments and by dentists,
represented value of $500.
Pains have been taken to explain
that dragons blood is really not drag
ons' blood at all, but mere name for
a deep reddish resinous substance OBJ
tanned from variety of trees in the
orient, and used extensively as an in
gredient in varnishes, stains and for
making etchings on copper and zinc.
The value of the importations of this
article during the last decade is
placed at 100000.

II EREAFTER there will be no pure
III ly ornamental places in the for
eign service of the United States.
While this cannot be said to be new
policy, it is the declared intention of
the present administration, and espe-
cially of the state department, that
there shall be no deviation from it.
This rule will not be made to apply
only to the diplomatic service, but to
the consular offices of the United
States from the highest to the lowest.
In years past there. have been
many complaints that the consular
service of the United States was, gen.
orally speaking, inefficient and of a
much lower grade than that of many
foreign countries having representa-
tives in the United States. The state
department officials themselves in
previous years have acknowledged
this, and while the service has i'm
proved of late, it has not made the
rapid advance that is noticeable in
the service of some of our foreign
trade competitors.
At present this government has in

Every one wondered what they were

curiosity. They were not disappointed,
for the large living room was ar
ranged like millinery shop; a pretty
maid in cap with long ribbon bow
and beruf1led apron fluttered about
speaking broken English with a
charming French accent and the
hostess was in a trailing gown of UNI
mistakable French manufacture.

indescribable head coverings, made

WASHINGTON very interesting
w bit of unusual summer gossip
concerning changes in the personnel
of the supreme court of the United
States connects the name of James
s. Harlan, member of the interstate
commerce commission, with an asso-
ciate justiceship in succession to his
distinguished father, John Marshall
Harlan, who has been on the supreme
bench since 1877, and who recently
celebrated his seventy-sixth birthday.
It would occasion no surprise
should one or two changes in the per-
sonnet of the highest federal tribunal
take place at the beginning of the
fall term. Chief Justice Fuller, now
in his seventy-seventh year, and AS
sociate Justice Harlan have been
credited with retirement inclinations
at various times for some years past.
It became evident, however, after
much talk Of this character, that
there would be no retirements from
the supreme bench during the Roose-
welt administration and latterly it has
been said that neither the chief JUS
tice nor Justice Harlan was disposed
to relax the labors which are so con-
genial to them. But with Mr.. Taft
in the Office of appointive power
many are inclined to believe there is
a probability of change of mind, af-

fected also by other developments.
President Taft, himself a former
federal Judge, sat in the same circuit
from which Justice Harlan was ap-
pointed to the supreme bench, and
there doubtless is what may be
termed bond of judicial interest be-
tween them. 1t is felt that should jul
dicial distinction be bestowed upon
James s. Harlan, who has inherited
the judicial temperament, the honor
would be something peculiarly appre-
ciated by both father and son for OBJ
vious reasons aside from the general
considerations pertaining to a su-
preme court appointment.
That conditions have arisen which
may cause Justice Harlan to decide
to take up duties in the service of
the Presbyterian church, which would
be possible only through his retire.
ment from the bench, is part of the
latest gossip. James S. Harlan, If
appointed to the supreme bench,
would take to that body expert knowl-
edge of interstate commerce matters
which will more and more occupy the
attention of the court.
The late gossip also connects Chief
Justice Fullers name with revived
plans to make an international trial
court out of The Hague tribunal,
which is said to be an aim of Presi-
dent Taft. Should matters eventuate
as gossip suggests Illinois still would
have a representative in the highest
court of the land and the way still be
open to fill another vacancy from the
circuit of which Ohio and Kentucky

it is the expressed determination of
the state department to elevate the
service in every possible way. A

ever before.
1t is the purpose of the state depart

quate compensation, but the policy
from now on will be to substitute
Americans for foreigners wherever it
is possible to do SO and considerable
progress has already been made in
this direction.
Within a comparatively short time
the percentage of foreigners in our
consular service has been reduced
from 461 per cent. to 1873 per cent,
and the percentage of Americans in
that service has been increased from
$50 to 81.2 per cent. These percent

Invitations to this party were sent

a snapshot of the hostess new home.
It was delightful affair, with unique
touches that a clever entertainer al
ways contrives to give her little par
ties, no matter how informal.
After the dozen chosen friends had
arrived and duly admired the coy
porch with it's furnishings of green,
the maid appeared with cold beverages,
which the hostess poured; then she
told them she wanted their very best
ideas regarding house building; that
for the two best plans there were
prizes.
Paper and pencils were passed and
to turn in their creations. The result
was delightful. Each one was allowed
five minutes to explain the merits OF
her plan. Some remarkably clever
ideas were developed and much un-
suspected talent revealed. The prizes
were subscriptions to well-known mag
azines devoted to household affairs,
and the favors were tiny wooden Jap
anese houses filled with bonbons. For
refreshments there were canteloupes
filled with New York ice cream, iced
tea and dainty English biscuit.
In week or two this same hostess
will entertain the same people, and
they will furnish" the houses planned
at this party.
