There have been queer stories OF a
variety of gigantic white rhinoceroses
as large as elephants. few of which
remained when white men first en-
tered the Nyanza country. but there
are no authentic stories to set down.
A hunter named Armbruster had an
unfortunate encounter with white
bull which all who saw 1t agreed must
have been a giant Of its kind. His
wagon had Just reached the last rise
to the top OF low hill when a man

had got near enough, having to make
his way through thorns. he lost sight
of the quarry, which had entered the
brush inclosing the glade. The hunter
made the mistake of judging the loca-
ton of the creature by a movement in
the brush. A young cow rhinoceros
was feeding there and not the bull

hind the mimosa, but tripped and fell
headlong, and the huge engine Of
ferocity was upon him before he could
rise or roll to one side. The long
horns were thrust so deeply through
his body that It was bornS along some
little distance until the bull tossed It
on. and then he plunged away through
the brush and was gone.

TIME FOR REFLECTION.

Since the Kansas primaries and the
Iowa convention the free traders are
beginning to congratulate them
selves upon the possibility of another
tariff revision in the near future
wool. as usual, being their first OBJ
jeet of attack. The idiocy of such
course of action is demonstrated by
the American Economist as follows;
Wool has already declined six cents
pound this year but no one
would discover that fact from
the prices asked for their goods
by the National Association OF
Clothing Manufacturers, If wool
were on the free list wooden
clothing would probably advance
in price the same as boots and
shoes advanced when hides were
put on the free list.
The worlds supply of wool has been
decreasing for years while the
population has been increasing.
If the sheep industry in this
country is destroyed ultimately
the wool will be much higher
than il is now. In addition NUT
ton, the most easily digested
meat, will be higher and the
United States, because OF the
higher cost of labor, would be-
come dependent on Australia an6
other such countries for wool and
mutton.
In case OF trouble with a foreign ma
ton that would be very disturb
ing element. The cost of tbs
wool in an ordinary suit Of cloth
ing is comparatively small, and
whether high or low would
hardly be considered by retail
clothieF.
No more foolish thing could be at
tempted than that OF reducing the
duty on wool and destroying this
valuable industry, Is was done &c
large extent under the last
Democratic tariff law. 1t does
not seem possible that the people
OF the United States Will submit
to another such colossal CONNER
cial crime as that committed By
the Democrats when they pu1

Agitation on the subject has al
ready done an incalculable amount OF
harm to the wool growers. Gontin-
ued agitation will result in still great
er loss, but there is no help for II

James S. Sherman has enjoyed a
long and notable career as states

CHINESE wooLEN Mills.

China is not going 10 depend upon
foreign countries for her supply OF
wcolen and cotton goods much long

been erected near Picking for the
manufacture OF army uniforms ana
blankets. II the experiment is sue
cessful. and OF that there Is little
doubt. other mills viii be erected IN
various parts OF the great empire.
As a matter of fact the institution
is serving as an Industrial training
school for the natives of the great
wool-praducing section of China and
no effort is being spared to make the
course of instruction thorough,
The machinery came from England

Young men, from rs to gg years or
age. who came from other parts OF
the country to learn the processes OF
wooden manufacture and who. upon
their return, expect TO establish the
industry in their native towns.
In spite of the cheapness Of the raw
material, IL is said that the total cost
OF production Of goods at the mills
exceeds the prices at which the same
goods might be secured from abroad.
II is To be observed IN this connee-
ton, however. that the mills have
been erected by way Of an expert
mental station and as an industriai
training school for the natives, rather
than with the expectation OF making
them a paying commercial enterprise
The native operators are paid a
daily wage OF IS TO II cents gold'

INCREASING INfPORTs.

According TO statistics reported by
the department of commerce and la
bor the value of imported manufac-
turers' materials of the United States
for the fiscal year Just closed, inelud-
ing crude and partly manufactured
goods, amounted to sS56.000.0 200, as
compared with $671, 000, 900 last
year, s4lO.O0O.OOO ten years ago and
s2sT,50O. geo twenty years ago.
Exports from the United States Of
manufacturers materials, including
goods ready fer consumption and
goods for further use in manufactur-

against s67l, AOO.O 600 year ago,
Sass, eco. 600 ten years ago and
$4,000. 600 twenty years ago.
These figures show the imports for
the last year of manufacturers ma
terials to have been larger than ever
before and 100 per cent more than a
decade ago, while the exports last
year We're So per cent larger than In

In addition our exports OF food

CRAZE FOR ANTIQUES.

Rich Americans are easy game Tor
tradesmen of all kinds in Europe,
but perhaps the dealers in paintings,
guaranteed to be the work of "old
masters" and those who have IAN
tiaues' for sale reap the largest ana
most lucrative harvest
Even where the antiques are real
the rich American usually gives up
exorbitant prices for his purchases,
Information comes from Dunfefm-
line, Scotland, of recent case where
the fool and his money were soon
parted
An old Dutch cabinet was pur-
chased by a dealer for few shillings.
An English earl came along and
paid 81 $50 for il,
dissatisfied with his bargain, again
offered il in London and IL was sold
to a wealthy American tourist for
s4,ss6. The cabinet was bought in
Culross, in this district, from an ell
derby Scotch widow, who now re-
grets having parted with II at such
low price. Several such cabinets
were recently offered near there for
s146O TO SASS.
Another case is that of an Ameri-
can official abroad who bought a
ChippendaIe table and sideboard for
about S4S6.s5 that had been bought
for s24,gS by the dealer with the ex-
press purpose of selling it to the Of
fieial in question.
Tourists have been given hint not
to purchase antiques OF value without
taking the advice of some competent
Judge and great care should be exer-
cised in order TO make sure that the
expert is not a confederate OF the
dealer. According 10 the general
view Americans are more readily
duped in these matters than the Eng
lish or French, Notwithstanding the
reputation Of the Yankee traveller for
shFewdness.
In Germany at a recent convention
of the Work league, a resolution was
adopted to publish and distribute
circular or pamphlet for the purpose
OF enlightening the public on the pre-
vailing abuse in the sale OF the So
called antiquities. supposed to be ar
tieles of ancient date and workman
ship. According to the statement
accompanying the resolution more
than 80 per cent Of all these an
tiquities offered for sale are imita-
lions of modern time and the pur-
ehasers of them are throwing away
their money.
In view OF all the facts that have
come to light it is probable that from
SO to rs per cent of all the antiques
brought over TO the United States are
bogus.
