TRI6D TO EXPLAIN IT
Local Democrats Inspect the
Party Wreck.
THICK- GLOOM AT HEADQUARTERS
oe Man. Tdei to Offer Consolation
Biff Bet "Will Await the Offl
t ; ' cial Count. ' '
.There was an air of supressed hilarity
at the Democratic city, county and state
headquarters yesterday. All the officers
were absent, catching up the thread o
their regular vocations, none of them, being-
any too anxious to explain how It
happened. This was left to the rounders.
The rooms looked bleak and dlsmaL On
the floor were sheets covered with Demo
cratic figures trying: to make both ends
meet and pull out a victory. On the
blackboard "was a tabulation of 176 elec
toral votes labeled for Bryan, while In
the balance Were hung New York, 36,
and Indiana, 15, necessary to Bryan's
election. The chalk lay on the floor un
noticed where It had dropped from the
hand of the lightning calculator, when
news of New York's defection had
reached headquarters. It was all off.
All of the Democrats conceded the Re
publican landslide except Flynn, who sat
stolidly In a corner smoking a pipe, and
occasionally giving forth a remark that
denoted his utter contempt for press re
ports and telegraphic figures of the elec
tion. Ho got his faith by grapevlne.
"Why do you remember," he said, "the
election of Cleveland over Blaine In 1SS4.
when the election was not over for a
week, and both sides were still crowing
and printing roosters and eagles In their
papers every day for a week, claiming
the election? Do you suppose I believe
these reports? The companies are paid
to send out these reports. Why you can't
ge down street now and get a bet that
McKinley is elected. I have $2 to bet
that Bryan carries Nebraska."
Flynn fanned his smoldering enthu
siasm to a nice, lively flame. But tho
others were not so optimistic One man
thought It was a landslide for Bryan,
bat that Bryan was under the landslide.
The others ceased prognosticating about
the result of the election, the majority
conceding McKlnleys election. Flynn en
tered a minority report. Then the weary
waiters resolved themselves into a com
mittee of the. whole to discuss the future
of the country. A few took the defeat
gracefully, saying, "McKinley Is the
choice- of the people, and we must abide
by it, and take It cheerfully."
Flynn made an emphatic statement:
"The people voted for prosperity, for ex
pansion and the Philippines, and I hope
they 'get them. I hope they land tho
whole 20,009.000 Filipinos and 90,000 China
men right here in Oregon. And then when
the trusts and corporations put them at
work In the Jobs of white men for 10
cents a day, maybe the working people
wWt be so ready to vote with their eyes
phut. The Republicans will have Con
gracs, the President and everything. Let
them run it."
"Yes," said Wagner, "the people don't
want a government. They want a mas
ter. And they have him now. And they
wlH get an Emperor, too. If they don't
watch out."
"And that's what surprises me," said
"Dec" Wilson. "When Bryan made it
e plain to the working people; has tbld
them, 'Here's the rich on one hand and
the poor on the other, and explained u
all to them yet they go :and voto this
way. I believe they want to be serfs;
they want to be controlled and mastered.
And I hope they get It. I am disgusted
with the common -people and democracy."
"Democracy!" shouted Flynn, "there
never was a democracy."
"At any rate," said a more conserva
tive member, "the common" people did it,
and. their wishes are what count."
Then the subject changed, and Flynn
threw another bomb into camp by dra
nMtleallv ask. -. "Who will be the next
President?" answering, "Mark Hanna,"
and offering to bet dollars to doughnuts
that he was right in his prophecy.
At the Republican headquarters, Chair
man Steel was on doty for a short 'time,
transacting some routine business, but
mainly receiving the congratulations
from a stream of visitors for the ad
mirable way the state campaign was
handled.
On the streets the result of the eleo.
tlon was received quietly, but with many
expressions of satisfaction among all
ranks and classes of men. A familiar
figure late In the afternoon was "Julius
Caesar," the well-known colored politi
cian, who had Just risen and heard of the
result. He wore an engraving of Presi
dent McKinley pasted on his shirt bos
om, which he would throw open dramat
ically when addressing a group on his
arduous labors In "de presen campaign."
PAYING SMAI.Ii BETS.
Stakeholders of Lnrge Sums Waiting:
for Official, Returns.
Most of the small election bets made
in.Pertlanu have been 'cheerfully, paid,
but tho larger amounts will h&t be banded
toHhe winners until the result Is officially
Announced. Frank Baker has $10,300 out
against $2360. In various sums, ranging
from $W to $200, but Gus Simon, who acts
os stakeholder, will not turn the money
over tp Mr Baker unless tho losers es
pecially direct him to do so.
TJe 4-to-l offer made by Mr. Simon
Monday caught several outspoken McKin
ley men, who thought it was a good bet.
even If they lost. An offer of 6 to lwas
also taken by a McKinley man. Leading
Democrats who were on the street w yes
terday seemed Inclined to "take ttielr med
icine" cheerfully. Pat Powers and George
I. Thompson met on the street early In J
the morning, and- Mr, Thompson started
In to do a little chaffing, when Pat ex
claimed: "Don't ay a word. I took off
my hat to your house as I passed by this
xnoraing."
George has had large pictures of the-J
Republican nominees hung in the front
windows of his residence in Irvlngton for
several weeks past.
S. J. Jeffery, while shaking hands with
Republican friends, took their bantering
cood-natwredly, saying "It would surprise
you fellows to get & little honest legisla
tion, weuldn't It?"
State Senators Sweek, of Multnomah,
end Wohrung. of Hlllsboro. were consoling
with each other at tho Perkins. "Well,
I hope the Republicans will have all the
tan they can out of It for the next four
years," Judge Sweek said. Senator
Webrung could hardly realize, however,
tfiat such an awful landslide had oc
curred. Another prominent Democrat said:
"Bryan is not to blame for the defeat.
The Democrats could not put up a man
who could carry the election this time.
It's an off year for Democrats, and a
.victory was not In the cards."
Taoism.
Max Mailer la the Xlnteenth Century.
We see In Taoism a system of philos
ophy and religion, sometimes the one,
sometimes the other, which has sprung up
oa pttrely Chinese soil, though at a later
time It was evidently far more influenced
than Confucianism by the newly intro
duced system of Buddhism. Taoism and
Confucianism both point hack to an lm
'measurable antiquity, and they certainly
made no secret of having taken anything
that seemed useful from the treas
ures or from the rubbish of an
cient folk-lore that had accumulated In
time long before the days of Lao-txe and
Contuclus. Those who have known 'the
present class of Tao priests and who have
witnessed their religious services form a
very lew opinion, of a religion which has
lasted for 34 centuries, and, though for
merly professed by much larger numbers
in China, is even now, while the numbers
of its adherents is considerably reduced.
a powerful element for evil as well as for
good in China. As a historical phenome
non it deserves the careful study of tne
historian, if only to teach us bow even &
religion supported by the state may do
its work 'by the side of other religions
without the constant shouts of anathema
to which we, are accustomedv in other
countries. No one seems a- heretic in the
eyes of the Chinese Government except
ing .always thV hated foreigner, and while
one Taolst "may grovel in the meanest re
ligious practices and another soar high
Into regions which even the West disci
pllned of Christian philosophers hesitates
to venture into, the -two will not curse
each other as Infidels, but try to carry out
the highest 'Christian 'principle of loving
our. enemies, or at least of doing Justice
to them.
.ONE YEAR OF GOOD WORK.'
"What the Third-Street Mission and
Men's Resort. Ha Done.
'Those who have charge of the Third
Street Mission and Men's Resort present
a very hopeful report of the work for the
past year. The following "review has been
issued, and sent to those who have con-.J
trlbuted to the support of the mission:
"Ono year ago we succeeded in renting
tho old Coliseum Theater buildlnsr, on
Third street, between Davis and Everett.
With Rev. J. K Snyder as superintendent,
a mission was opened upon a larger scale
fian any ever before undertaken in this
city.
"This old theater, used bo many years
for disreputable purposes, was trans
formed Into a beautiful and attractive
place of worship, and from the very open
ing people of all classes have thronged the
building.
"In connection with the mission there
Is a free reading-room, supplied with all
the leading magazines and papers. This
is a large room, neatly arranged, and
decorated with flowers and birds. It is
always kept warm and bright. From
100 to 300 men visit this room dally. These
men are for tho most part laboring men,
who come into the city from the mines
and logging camp& Many of them are
longshoremen and steamboat men, old sol
diers, who llvo on their pensions, and
strangers, who stop In the city for a few
days looking for work. Some have object
ed to this part of the mission work, on
the ground that It encourages Idleness and
furnishes a loafing place for tramps and
other disreputable men. But this objec
tion is unwarranted. In this part of the
city, where there are so many cheap
lodging-house and eating places, there
are hundreds of men who are employed
only a part of the time. These men must
have some place to spend their Idle time.
Thoy have no homes, and if it were not
for the Resort they would spend their
time in saloons and around the cheap
lodging-houses.
Religious services are .held In tho mis
sion three nights each week. These serv
ices aro always well attended, and ex
cellent results have followed. Many peo
ple have professed conversion during the
past year.
"The Sunday School, which meets at 3
o'clock on Sunday, has a large constitu
ency, and the attendance often "1-eaches
200 men, women and children. The Blbfo
class alone, which Is for men only, has
on average attendance of from 40 to 50.
"The Boys' Brigade, which Is under tho
direction of W. O. Nisley, is. an Im
portant feature of our work. This bri
gade has an enrollment of over 40 boys.
These boys meet twice a week, once for
drill and amusement and once for Bible
study.
"A sewing school for girls was started
recently an institution very much needed
In this part of the city. The outlook for
this class is most encouraging. -
"Tho kindergarten, under the direction
of the Kindergarten Association of the
city, and Miss Bertha Barin as principal.
is a most hopeful feature of the mission,
work. About 40 pupils are enrolled in
this school. They are the little ones from
homes of all classes and conditions. Sure
ly money could not be expended to better
advantage than In the interests of these
little waifs of tho street.
"In addition to the reeular work of the
mission, many concerts and entertain
ments of an elevating character are held.
These entertainments have always packed
the house. Six hundred .people have
often been present on these occasions, and
good results have followed.
"This mission, sustained by tho good
people of the First Presbyterian Church
and others, stands as a beacon light in
a tempestuous, sea of iniquity. Eternity
alone will reveal tho good that Is being
accomplished.
"The success of 'the mission has more
than met our expectations, and the com
mittee is greatly encouraged in the work
undertaken. Mrs. Albee ha3 beeri added
to the already excellent corps of workrs,
and will spend her time-in visiting among
the homes in this part of the city. Plans
aro being laid for more aggressive work
this Winter, and we look for blessed re
sults. "The money entrusted to us has, we
think, been wisely expended. Jfo extrav
agance has been allowed. The committee
meets once a month, when reports from
the superintendent and other workers aro
hoard, and the management carefully
looked Into. We thank you most heartily
for the confidence Imposed In us, and the
money entrusted to" bur care. Wo look to
you for continued support and.sympathy."

UNION PACIFIC RECEIVERSHIP
Final Stage in the fir cat Bankruptcy
Case.
ST. PAOSL, Minn., 2OV. 7. -Walter H.
Sanborn, United States Circuit Judge,
made an order today approying the final
,report of the successory receivers of the
Union Pacific Railroad and finally dis
charging them. The receivership, which
has been thus closed, was, considering the
complications, extent and Interests in
volved, the most Important In the great
list of American railway bankruptcies.
When It was commenced. October 18, 1893,
the Union Pacific system included 8.1S5
miles of rail lines, owned or leased and
operated, representing a capitalization of
stock and bonds of $470,000,000. After
Judge Sanborn assumed control of this
case early in 1S94 the receivers handled
without loss, under his orders, moneys
amounting to $106,000,000. The claim of
the United States on the Union Pacific
property of S5S.000.000. principal and ac
crued interest, was paid in full, and un
secured creditors were paid from various
sources about 40 per cent of their claims,
an amount largely In excess of their ex
pectations. The administration of this re
ceivership by the court has been unusu
ally successful.
Motor Fonts in Australia.
London Dally Mall.
A frequent difficulty encountered by pos
tal authorities lnAustralla is the cheap
and expeditious delivery of mails to out
lying localities. Many of these places are
hundreds of miles from the nearest rail
way line, and the route is apt to be
through drouth-stricken country, where
the dry roads are at times Impassable
oven by camels. This is consplcuouslj
the case In tropical Queensland. But the
government of that colony has risen- to
the emergency, and has decided to try the
experiment of dispatching malls to "out
back" by motor car. The result is likely
to be awaited with interest In other places
than Queensland.

DID A BIG DAY'S WORK
CITY
OOUXCTX. TAKES "DP MUCH
' -STREET WORK.
Cffort to Help Out the Street-Cleaning-
Department VJeirera Ap
pointed for Seventh Street.
The session of the Common Council was
an unusually long one. A large amount
of routine street work was done, beside
considerable general business. Mayor
Rowe presided, and all the Councllmen
were present except Holbrook and Mer-,
rllL An effort was made to supply tno
Park Commission and the street-cleaning
department with money enough "to carry
them through the year by making, the
balances in the funds of these depart
ments available for the general purposes
of the .departments. The Board of Police
Commissioners asked the Council to pay
the salaries of the license officers and the
cost of trimming trees along the lines
of the police wires. Viewers were ap
pointed In the matter of the .long-talked-of
widening of. Seventh street from Ank-
eny to Burnslde. The Oregon Real Hj&-
1 tate Company asked for the vacation of
J streets in their property on a rather ex
tensive scale. The committee on ways
and means was authorized to negotiate
for the sale of. street Improvement bonds
to the amount of $35,000.
Parle and Street-Cleaning; Funds.
An ordinance was passed canceling the
unexpended appropriation In tho general
fund to the credit of tho Park Commis
sion, amounting to $1337 10, and the unex
pended appropriation to the credit of the.
street-cleaning department, amounting to
$7027 6L Then an ordinance was passed
authorizing the drawing of a warrant
on the general fund for these amounts,
and providing for placing the money in
the hands of the Park Commission and
the street-cleaning department, so that
they can bo expended 'as is deemed de
sirable. This action was rendered necessary In
the matter of the park appropriation by
tho fact that the Park Commission has
assumed charge of the parks, but the
money appropriated for the maintenance
of the parks had never been turned over
to them.
As to the street-cleaning department,
at the beginning of the year the esti
mated expenses of the department were
itemized, and the total appropriation was
divided up among these items, specifying
the amount to be expended for every sep
arate Item on the list. Early in the year
the amount expended for labor exceeded
the monthly appropriations, while on
some Items much less than the amount
appropriated was expended, thus leaving
a balance in some of the specific appro
priations wnlch could not be used for
other purposes. The action taken by the
Council renders these balances available
for ..employing labor, which is the item
most needed at present, and It is expected
that the department will now be able to
get through tho year without any furher
approprialons.
Sidevrnllc Repairs Assessed.
An ordinance was passed assessing lots
1 and 25, in block 21, for repair of the
sidewalks in front thereof, the repairs
having been mado by the city under the
provisions of the charter. People who
neglect to pay attention when notified to
repair- their sidewalks may take warn
ing from this.
Street IVorlc.
Ordinances declaring the proportionate
share of the cost of constructing sewers
in certain streets, and making appropri
ation for the same .as follows, were
passed: In East Thirtieth street, from
East' Stark, $273 45; Union avenue, from
East Irving to East Glisan, $418 30; San
Rafael street, from Williams avenue to
East Seventh, $507 92.
'Ordinances declaring the probable cost
of Improving certain streets and making
appropriation for the cost thereof were
passed, as follows: Kearney street, from
Twenty-fourth to Twenty-fifth, $1273 48;
Lane street, from Kelly to Hood. $245 SO;
DavIs street, from Fourteenth to Nine
teenth, $1879 11; Clifton street, from Sev
enth to Tenth, $1008 96.
Ordinances providing for the time and
manner of constructing sewers in East
Seventh street, from Everett to the sewer
in Davis, and in Union avenue, from
Pacific street to tho sewer in Union ave
nue, were passed.
An ordinance providing for the time
and manner of Improving First street
from GIbbs to Whlttaker was passed.
An ordinanco making a transfer from
the general fund to the Improvement
bond interest fund, to provide for the
payment of interest in street improve
ment bonds, was passed.
An -ordinance appropriating $S90 63 out
of the fund for 'the 'opening, laying out
and .establishing of Vaughn street, to pay
excess of damages over benefits, engi
neering, advertising and viewers, was
passed.
An ordinance appropriating $801 out of
the, fund for the opening and laying out
of Twentieth street, for the same pur
pose, was passed.
An ordinance to change and establish
the grade of Kerby street between Fall
ing and Shaver streets was passed.
HlgTier-lilcenije for Street-Cars.
An .ordinance regulating 'the license to
be paldby the City & Suburban Railway
Company for the operation of street-cars
was, after a short deoate, referred to
the Judiciary committee.
This ordinance is the result of -a con
ference between the license committee
and the officials of the City & Suburban
Railway Gompany. The company holds
franchises from the old cities of East
Portland and Alblna, under which they
pay a lower license than that charge "by
the City of Portland- It was oeslrable
to secure a uniform rate of license, and
it was agreed, that the company should
pay a license of $6 25 per quarter on 18-
loot cars; iz ojrper, quarter on cars from
18 to 30 feet long, and for cars over 30
feet In length," $25" per quarter. This
Would Increase the "city's revenue from
the company $500 per year, and was "con
sidered quite satisfactory, but It was
considered desirable to have the ordi
nance amended so that the license could
be increased, when this was considered
proper, and so the ordinance was referred
to the judiciary committee. An ordinance
granting the company tho right of way
on Morrison street from the Intersection
of First to the end of tho bridge was re
ferred to the same committee. y
Street Improvement Bonds.
An ordinance authorizing the Issuance
of street Improvement bonds to the
amount of $616S 9L for the improvement
of Rodney avenue. Falling street and
Tillamook street was passed. ,
Notice of Street Improvements.
Resolutions were adopted directing, pub
lication of notice for the Improvement of
the following named streets: East Oak
from East Twelfth to East ' Sixteenth;
Twenty-fourth street from Glisan to
Flanders; East Pine street from East
Twelfth to East Sixteenth; East Couch
from Bast Third to East Sixteenth; East
Eleventh street from Belmont to East
Glisan.
A resolution directing publication of no
tice of the Improvement of Seventh street
from Morrison to Yamhill was laid on the
table, it being-urged by Branch that if
Seventh street was widened from Ankeny
to Burnslde the whole street would be Im
proved in the Spring, and then this block
could be improved at less expense to the
property-owners.
A resolution directing publication of no
tice of the improvement of Second street
from Morrison to Madison was opposed
by Branch, on the ground that the rail
road on that Ftreet was soon to be torn
up, and that If the cost of the Improve
ment of the right of way of this road
was assessed to the owners or lessees bl
the road It coul&.not bo collected, as the
road would have vanished.-
y Bronauch. said" the property-owners wore
very anxious to have this improvement
made. It was not in his ward, but the
property-owners kept after him about it,
and he was desirous that the improve
ment be made. If there was any trouble
about the center of the street or as to
who should pay for It, he was willing
that tho propertyrowners should do the
worrying. A vote was taken and the
resolution was adopted.
A resolution giving notice of construc
tion of a sewer in Bancroft avenue- was
adopted.
A resolution' appointing A L. Maxwell,
G. E. Watklns and C. N. Rankin viewers
in the matter of the proposed widening
of Seventh Btreefc from Ankeny to Burn
slde 'was adopted.

of streets in their property be vacated.
These streets lie In 'and along a deep
gulch, and It is desired to replat the prop,
erty so as to make the streets conform
to the natural grade. Referred to the

ling fact that they are short of funds,
and ask that the Council pay the salaries

Railway Company, asked for an extension
of six -months In which to begin work on
tho line from Burnslde and First streets
to the Union Depot, on accpunt of the
City Engineer having required a special
rail to be used which could not be pro
cured at once. Referred to the street
committee.

Amusing Ifrnorance of the Chinese.
One of the delights of travel in China is
the innocent Ignorance Of the people, says
a writer In Frank Leslie's Popular '.Month
ly. They think themselves the most so
phisticated and heave.n-enlightened people
on this earth, and so malco their naive
childishness the more engaging. Our slip
per boat men stuck a bunch of Incense
sticks into the bank at "tho loot of some

PORTO RICO COMMERCE
OUR EXPORTS ARE MUCH HEAVIER.
UNDER TARIFF ACT.
Farmers and Manufacturer About
Equally Benefited Statement
Shows Wonderful Galas.
WASHINGTON, Not. 7. The manufac
turing and farming Interests seem to' be
about equally Benefited by the increased
export trade with Porto Rico which has
followed the Porto RIcan tariff act. That
act went into effect May 1, 1900, and the
Treasury Bureau of Statistics has Just
completed the figures covering the five
months of our commerce since that act
became operative. These figures show
that the exports to the Island from May
1, 1900, to October 1, 1900. were $2,754,205,
against $768,803 in the same months of
1837, the last year In which Porto Rico
was under the Spanish flag, or nearly
four times as much as in the five months
of 1900 as in the corresponding five
months of 1897. All the great classes of
manufactures show a marked Increase
in 1900 as compared with 1897, 'and so do
el the great classes of agricultural prod
ucts. Agricultural Implements Increased
from $1217 In the Ave months of 1S97 to
$3858 In the same months of 1900; sewing
machines 'increased from $1508 to $3132;
cars and carriages, from $3344 to $12,200;
builders' hardware, from $4335 to $22,036;
furniture, from $3392 to $23,220; lumber,
from $35,41T to $65,547; petroleum, from
$12,930 to $65,956; and cotton cloth, from
$1423 to $406,194. Agricultural products
show an equally striking Increase. Corn
increased from $357 In tho five months of
1897 to $6712 in the same months of 1900;
butter from $3151 to $5420; cheese, from
$1062 to $26,463; bacon, from $6949 to $23,
431; pork, from $75,829 to $94,567; lard, from
$81,802 to $201,404, and flour from $234,278
to $402,912. There are many other Items,
both in manufactures and in agricultural
products, which show an Increase, while
the products of the mine also show a
marked growth, especially in the case of
coal, which Increased from $14,680 to $26,
565. This remarkable growth In our exports
to Porto Rico is especially Interesting
and somewhat surprising. In view of the
statements made during the discussions
of the Porto Rican act, which Indicated
that, owing to the destruction of crops
and property in Porto Rico by the hurri
cane of August, 1899, the people of that
island would have little to sell, and prac
tically nothir- with which to buy. Yet
the imports j to the United States from
the Island have moro than doubled in the
five months since t'" act went Into effect,
as compared with ho same months of
1897, and the exports to the Island, as al
ready shown, have nearly quadrupled.
The list of Imports Is very much small
er than that of exports, the chief Items
being sugar, hides, tobacco and coffee.
The list of exports includes a very large
number of articles, among them being
agricultural implements, books, maps and
engravings; corn, meal, flour, candles,
chemicals of various kinds, coal, cotton
goods of all classes, and especially cloths;
dried flsh, gunpowder builders' hard
ware, electrical machinery, cutlery,
pumps and pumping machinery, steel
rails, nails, pipes and fittings and numer
ous other manufactures of Iron and steel;
boots and shoes, harness and saddles, pa
per of various grades, rice, vegetables,
manufactures of wood and many other
articles.
A comparison of the growth of exports
to Porto Rico In the five months opera
tions of the new law with the growth In
the general exports during the same com
parative periods Is especially Interesting.
The total exports from the United States
during the Ave months from May, 1 to
October L 1900, show an increase of 33 per
cent for tho same months of 1897, while
the exports of Porto Rico in the Ave
months from May 1 to October L. 1900,
show an increase of 258 per cent over tho
corresponding months of 1897.
The following table shows the value of
the. principal exports from tho United
States to Porto Rico in the five months
from May 1 to October L 1900, compared
with the corresponding months of 1S97:

BEES FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
Secretary Wilson to Import Giant
Ones to This Country.
Saturday Evening Post.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is go
lnff to import from the Philippines cer
tain giant bees," native to that archipela
go, which, It is thought, are likely to
prove valuable to this country, though
never as yet domesticated anywhere. They
do not belong, to the same species as
our honey bees,' being classified by -naturalists
as Apis dorsata, where the fa
miliar hlvo Insects are all Apis melliflca.
Just as there. are a number of varieties
of Aplsvmelllflca, including the Cyprians,
Carniolans, Italians and others, so there
aro niany varieties of Apis dorsata, which
are widely and plentifully distributed in
the east, being found in India, Ceylon,
Java and elsewhere In that part of the
world. All of them are known only In the
wild state, and those of the Philippines
are said to be the biggest of all.
The hive bees (Apis melliflca), when
wild and In a state of nature, make their

'eggs and Grape-Nuts. I carefully tested
the new food and nnauy began its use in
my family, with most gratifying results.
"My little boy at that time was a pale,
anaemic child and very poorly nourished.
Now, thanks to Grape-Nuts, he is as fine
a specimen of Infantile strength as I
could wish for. My own personal expe
rience means much to me. For some
years I was troubled with dyspepsia; that
is, I could not eat bread or any prepara
tion of. bolted wheat flour, such as cake
or any of the starchy preparations, with
out a fit of indigestion, sour stomach,
costiveness and headache.
"As soon as I quit that sort of food and
used Grape-NUts, which has the starchy
part predlgested, I began to recover. The
change has been remarkable. I formerly
weighed 122 pounds, and now weigh 137.
Am strong, have more nerve force than I
ever possessed, appetite perfect, sleep
sound and can endure any amount of
work. I know exactly where the change
has come from, and It Is from your truly
scientific and wonderful food, which is
worthy of the highest commendation."

but It Is quite- otherwise with these giant
becs of the Orient, which suspend their
combs, as big- as ordinary house doors,
from the limbs of lofty trees and ledges
of rock high In the- air. So superior In
quality Is the wax of which the combs
are built that traffic in It Is of much im
portance, especially In India, whera ths
business of collecting It employs a good
many persons. The material, when gath
ered, is carried to the seaports and
stacked by tons in warehouses', being a
notable- article of export.
It is thought that there would bo no
dlfficuuty about handling these giant bees
if it should be desired to domesticate
them, but Secretary "Wilson's Idea is that,
simply .let loose and permitted to multi

climate Is warm enough to suit them, they
would furnish a wild crop of valuable
wax.
HEW INVASION OF INDIA.
American Cigarettes Carrying All
Before Them in the Orient.
London Dally MalL
The Idea that the native Indian eschews
all but his native tobacco, which he takes
mostly in the form of cheroots, receives
a hard shock from the newly Issued offi
cial Review of ihe Trado of India. It ap
pears that in 1838-99 the imports of manu
factured tobacco, especially in the shape
of cigarettes, underwent much expan
sion. It Is no longer-true- that thd consumption
of Imported tobacco is practically con
fined to tho Anglo-Indian population.
Cigarettes made in America are being ex
tensively imported now with special refer
ence to the requirements of tho native
smoker. They are greatly" In evidence in
and about Calcutta and other large cities,
where they are beginning to supersede
the- unclean and unsivory compounds
smoked in native apparatus.
Imported cottons have largely supersed
ed the production of the native hand
loom; Imported mineral oil and dyes have
superseded the inferior articles produced
In the country, to the great advantage of
tho consumer; Imported sugar Is also
gradually beginning to thrust back the
inferior and dirty sugar hitherto offered
to tho Indian consumer; and now it seems
that Indian tobacco Is to recoil before
the invasion of foreign tobacco made up
in neatly packed cigarettes
Another turn of the wneel, and when
tho people have become accustomedi to the
better articles the capitalist will arise
and make it on the spot of Indian tobac
co, to the advantage of both producer and
consumer, as has been done with cotton
goods andt will be done with sugar.
