AMERICANS AFTER
FAR EAST TRADE
Agent to Investigate Conditions in
China, Japan and Philippines.
Toys Increase in Popularity, Compel
ing With Jap Production.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Hoping to
secure for American manufacturers
trade in the far east heretofore held
in Europe, the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce has directed Spe-
cial Agent Stanhope Sans to make an
exhaustive investigation of the wear
ing apparel market in China, Japan,
the Philippines and the Strait Settle
ments. His report is expected to sup
lhy information which will enable
American manufacturers to take ad-
vantage of the paralysis of European
export trade by. the war.
Mr.. Sans. who will sail for YokO-
hama shortly, will devote considerable
time to the Japanese and Chinese
markets, reporting at intervals on
| general conditions such as prices,
tariff changes, competition, and meth
ods of meeting it. These reports will
be available to American exporters.
They will cover all lines of mems, wo-
mems and children's wearing apparel
except shoes.
| Japanese merchants already are
making vigorous efforts to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered by
The cutting off of European trade. a
report from Consul General George Il.
Anderson at Hongkong, on the top
trade, says that American and Jap
anese toys have entirely occupied the
market formerly dominated by Aus
trians and Germans.
Japanese limitations of the cheap
German and Austrian toys are sold i'll
considerable quantities." he said
though they are usually too cheap and
too fiimsy to hold the market long
even in such cheaper goods. Ameri-
can toys are expensive and their sale
is limited for that reason, but they
reach the fine trade and are increas'
ing in popularity and in volume"

arrangement of stays, and she patted
up her hair in some puffs one night to
show her how, and then-just as she
was planning to be Teresa's beau for
the evening, of course something hap
pened. She was laid up the whole day
of the party.
And Charley, whom she hadn't seen
for year, had to send on that very
afternoon special delivery that he
was coming into town about p. M.
for two or three days. oh, was there
any justice in anything? A spasm Of
pain across her eyes answered.
Charley in town, and an evening for
something else planned previously,
and-both ruined -. oh, a
bright thought ran sharply as the
neuralgia. Charley could take Teresa
to the party. He knew number Of
the girls slightly, having been an in
terne in the institution when some
of them began training. 1t would do,
and help both Teresa and Charley. e
When Charley came, was kissed and

dow, leaning on one elbow in bed
like prize Americans. (The stenogra-
pher had funny ideas sometimes)
Charley was very devoted during
the rest of the stay. You would never
have known that he had thought of
another woman in his head. But the
time came, when he had returned, that
Charley's letters grew less frequent,
and Teresa used to get mail that was
addressed with typewriter from the
same postofiice-and Teresa seemed
different to the girl at the desk. The
stenographer was too keen-visioned
for her own good.
"Well, my dear" she said one day
to Teresa, tell me about it." and
Teresa, being little less perceptive
confessed, and wept, like the big child
that she was.

gayly.

Sauerkraut for Sickness.

Here is a story that illustrates the
estimate the German citizen places on

The Stenographer

The new hospital stenographer was
alert to all that went on among the
nurses who filed by the desk, going TO
and from from duty on the upper
floors or stopping to ask her for mail.
One of these, Teresa, was distin-
guished both for weight and wit. All
liked Teresa, but none of them ever
took the trouble to let her know 1t.
1t would have done her a lot of good,
sometimes, if they had.
AS It WIS, when grateful patient
&c. p" among them-sent out invita-
tions for little party. the question
arose as to how many OF the girls IN
training might go.
The stenographer overheard Maggie
Irish" ask Teresa if she were going.
Mo-
"Why not?"
"Well, if l did so and tried to have
any fun you'd all call me the ele-
phant; and then haven't anything to
wear
That was the first time the stenog
rapher had ever heard or seen Teresa
show that she was hurt by the care
less girls, though she knew it.
Several journal entries were neg.
lected that afternoon, while the young
woman at the desk tried to fix up the
situation for Teresa. Wouldn't one of
Aunt Mary's black laces be beautiful
on Teresa if her pretty black hair had
one Dr. two waves in it?
The stenographer lunched with Aunt
Mary the next day. and carried home
a black chiffon. which she sent by en-
press to Teresa, with note. From
one who is mad bcause she isn't plump
enough to wear decent gown any
more"
She managed to get Teresa into an

BEN JOHNSON BURIED UPRIGHT.
Question Whether This Was His Orig

Question Whether This Was His Orig
inal Position.
During the Shakespeare's grave dis
cussion 1t may be interesting to ask,
why was Ben Jonson buried in the
upright position?" G. Pitt-I.ewis says
that he felt "he must be buried up
right in Westminster Abbey" The
tradition has it, however, that he ask
ed for as much space in the abbey as
he could stand up in, and that this
was just was granted to him. 1t is not
at all generally known that his grave,
not being protected as Shakespeare's
is, was opened in Dean Buckland's
time. Had he really been buried
standing on his feet? was the prob
lem to be resolved. The opening Of
the grave was stealthy affair, car
ried out at dead of night. The body
had been buried in the upright posi-
ton, without doubt. Some of the
rough, reddish-gray hair was still
clinging to the skull. A collecting
maniac, who had been permitted to
be present, overcame his reverence
for the remains of Rare Ben," and
he carried some relics home with him,
whereupon the late Edward Draper,
hearing of what had been done, is
sued through the Illustrated London
News a yelled threat of exposure, and
the grave was again opened in order
that the relics might be restored

HORSES IN STORMY WEATHER
Sufficient Care Not Always Observed
When Animal Has Been Heated
After Strenuous Drive.

1t is not generally realized to what
an extent loss in horsef1esh is suf-
fered on account Of exposure in stormy
and cold weather, not only in cities,
but also on farms. When the horse is
driven rapidly or required to draw
heavy loads, the action of the heart is
increased, the blood circulates more
freely and rapidly to the lungs and
the surface of the body, and he be-
comes heated Then the horse sweats
more or less, and when in this condi-
ton is more sensitive and more liable
to be injured by currents Of cold air or
by exposure to rain. This is not suf-
ficiently considered, and it is a very
common occurrence to see such
horse left by his driver to stand in the
street without any protection what
ever until he is chilled through. Even
where there is some appearance of
care, in the way of providing blanket
for use on such occasions, this is fire.
quently put on in such way as to
leave the most sensitive portions of
the body exposed. When horse is
allowed to stand so the currents Of
cold air strike the breast, the result
is likely to be more or less serious
lung trouble, and this may be brought
about in much less time than many
suppose.

PRUDENT TREATMENT OF EVE.
In Winter Keep Her on Glover or AL
Talfa Hay Until After Lamb
Comes-Give Some Wheat Bran

A sensible treatment of the eve
tnat lambs in winter is to keen her
mostly on clover or alfalfa hav mill
after her lamb comes. There will he
no need to limit the amount of hav
that she consumes after lambing and
then when her lamb takes all her
milk and wishes more, begin feeding
her a little wheat bran. For a week
bran will suffice, gradually increasing
the amount fed then there NAV he
added to it little chopped corn ar
barley and little later some oil-meai.
A pound day of this mixture will
Keep her in good milk flow and if
must be gradually led up to for about
ten days.
About the right proportions of this
mixture are lou pounds of wheat bran.
IOO pounds of chopped corn and 20
pounds of oil-meal This with clover
or alfalfa hay will push her to very
heavy milk flow. If she is a large
eve she may consume more than a
pound to advantage, as much as two
pounds being consumed by some large
Dorset ewes.
IL this feed is so gradually intro
duced to the eve that her digestion is
not disturbed nor her milk flow slim
ulated too much at first, there is small
danger of overlooking her, supposing
that the lamb is to be pushed for
early market. Her unselfish nature
turns the feed quickly into milk and
little of it goes to nourish her own
body.
