Germany would be
own flesh and
country, with the
ion of Grant Britain, has so
large % representation in our cltisen-
ahip a» the fatherland. In the decade
ending with 1890, over 1,400,000 immi-
grants came to us from Germany, more
titan a fourth of the total immigra-
tion from all Europe in that period.
Several of our large cities, including
Cincinnati and Milwaukee, have a larg-
er percentage of German-born citizens
than of all other fortigners put to-
gether. And these people are among
our most loyal, substantial and valu-
able citizens. They are not wanting
in love for the land of their birth, hut
they love the land of their adoption
still more. They are true Americans.
A common love of learning Is an-
other strand in the bond uniting us
with the German people. Nowhere in
the world is the leadership of Germany
ip various fields of scholarship so fully
and frankly recognized as in the Unit-
ed States. We send many of our bright-
est young men to sit at the feet of her
great teachers and to drink deep at her
springs of learning. We glory in her
unparalleled achievements in the do-
mains of science and philosophy. To-
ward the country of Goethe and Schil-
ler, of Luther and Humboldt, we can
never be set in hostile array. But
stronger, perhaps, than any oth-
er strand in the bond that unites us
with Germany is our comiwm trade in-
terest. The shuttles of commerce, fly-'
ing swift and fast across the seas for
a hundred years, have woven us to-
gether by golden threads that may not
easily be severed. Last year we sent
Germany breadstuffs, manufactured
products and other articles to the val-
ue of $123,784,453. Germany sent us
back-In exchange chemicals, cloth and
other needful things to the valne of
$iU,210,6t4. With no other country
except Great Britain does our volume
of trade reach such proportions as this.
We export to Germany more than
twice as much as we do to Prance,
and more than twelve times as much
as we do to Spain. And the volume
of trade between America and Ger- 1
many is more evenly balanced than
between us and any other country in
the world. We take nearly as much
as we give. A friendship based on I
such considerations as these will not be
lightly broken.—-Leslie’s Weekly.

WASN’T AWED
By the Engineer's Accomplishments—*
One Thing Puzzled Him.
One of the delegates attending the
recent convention of civil engineers
in Detroit left this story, says the De-
troit Free Press: “Just as was stated
by the president in his opening ad-
dress, the importance and accomplish-
ments of civil engineering are not held
in Qie popular appreciation they de-
serve. It is simply because the great
majority do not understand. They ap-
prove of our works, but do not com-
prehend the knowledge required in pro-
ducing them. When considerably
younger I was up in the northern part
of our state surveying the rojite of a
proposed railway. An old farmer with
whom I had stopped for a time ad-
mitted one day when he saw me fig-
uring in the field that mathematics al-
ways seemed a wonderful thing to him,
Being young and enthusiastic, I began
to enlarge on its wonders, teiliqg him
how we could measure the distances
to different planets and even weigh
them, how we could accurately foretell
the coming of a comet or an eclipse
years in advance of its actual occur-
rence, determine the velocity of the
fiercest projectile, ascertain the height
of mountains without scaling them and
many other things which I meant
should astonish him. Tpu can imagine
how he set me back when he replied
la this brilliant array of fafeta by say-
tag: ’Tea, yes; them things does seem
kinder cur‘us» but what alius bothered
me was to understan’ why you have
. ter carry one fur ev’ry ten. But if
fou don’t tne durned thing won’t come
out right.’ ”
Panama, October 31.— The Herald
correspondent ut Managua cables that
President Zelaya in his message to
congress called an extraordinary ses-
sion, presents clearly the Nicaraguan
view of the (anal situation, shared
alike by the government and the peo-
ple.
In substance he said: “I shall give
yon an account of a promise of a con-
tract for the opening of an interoeean-
ic canal through our isthmus granted
to Messrs. Irvli g and Eyrie, represent-
ing a respectable syndicate of Ameri-
can capitalists. The government has
formed a clear and well defined opin-
ion that the Oardenas-Menocal con-
tract of March, 1887, has been forfeit-
ed for lfbn-fufi llment of its most es-
sential claims and for the abandon-
ment of work for nine consecutive
years; but wishing to avoid annoying
discussions that might bring difficul-
ties, owing to the malice with which
some proceed where tlieir interests
are at stake, tbs government has elud-
ed all possible trouble by not declar-
ing the forfei ture of that contract
and by giving Messrs. Irving and Eyre
a promise that shall not take effect
until the pretended rights of the old
contractors are disposed of and com-
pletely extinguished.
“The promisej made to Messrs. Irv-
ing and Eyre U based on the security
of the reputation and standing of the
parties we are dealing -with and on
the deposit of $100,000in gold. By
comparing the contract of 1887 with
this one, you will observe that this
future one is far superior. It is more
practicable, yei encourages and ?t-
ter assures foreign capital in under-
taking the grent enterprise that car-
ries with R so knany evntualities. It
is also in many ways more advantage-
ous to Nicaragua.

The rents of his regiment were to-

Unpieuant Choice.
:earns many things from his guide—
caution among the rest One man, no-
ticing that his guide tapped with his
foot each hollow log and stump in a
certain pathway, before stepping on or
past it, inquired the reason. “Looking
out for snakes,’’ was the reply. “What
kind of snakes?” asked the travefer,
with an unpleasant sensation along his
opine. “Moccasins,” returned the guide.
“What makes you walk on the logs, cr
so close to them, then?” demanded the
uneasy traveler. “Why don’t we walk
off there, where the ground is solid?”
“Well, you can try it,” said the guide,
launching a vigorous kick at a stump
and then mounting U. “You moughtnT
sink below yer waist,—and then agin
you mought.”

clubs of the eity frequently by naval
men. .Admiral aMraiser Unsaid to

from the admirality, and Immediately
Her Majesty’s ship Amphion, he tfast-

to prepare to sea. She will sail at once
for Coquimbo to meet lier sister ship
Phaeton. From there the two proceed
-i to Tahiti, the French settlement of the
Society Islands.
The flagship Impetus, which has just
returned front Comox, is also coaling,
and the Leander has ben ordered to
return from Comox to prepare for any-
more that may be decided upon. The
other ships here are the Dirgo. Spar-

The opinion among naval men is that
England is despatching fleets from
Halifax to the West Indies and from
Esquimault to Tahiti to show the
French lrow utterly their colonies
would be at the mercy of the British
should she make any warlike move-
ments.
Porto Rican Delegates.
San Juan, Porto Rico, October 31.
The principal street of the city was
taxed to its urn ost capacity yesterday
afternoon on the occasion of the public
meeting of the celegdtes from the chief
towns of the 1 dand to consider and
draft reeommei datlons regarding the
necessities of tbe island, for the use of
commissioners who will be salaried
later to represent Porto Rico at Wash-
ington. when tlie time comes for set-
tling the administrative system. The
assembly was 1 airly represented, and
although the proceedings gave undue
prominenece to unimportant details,
there was abundant'evidence of intelli-
gent reflection on the part of the del-
egates and of a determination not to
tolerate artisan olitics at this crisis in
the island’s aaii sff. Carefully prepar-
ed reports w’ere submitted on the social
and economical questions. The meet-
ing received with enthusiasm the ques-
tions dealing with territorial rights

him Saturday morning. He came in
witli the early Santa Fe passenger
from the North. While stopping here
•he left his cab to oil the engine, which
was standing near an excavation six
feet or more in depth which had,been
made by tlie \ rater works company
in emoving a w iter plug. It was not

note the execavation into which he
pitched headforemost. He is a heavy
man and the fa il stunned him so that
he could not tell how he got out of
the hole. When found by some friends
he was leaning against his engine in
a dazed condition. He revived soon
sufficiently to be assisted to his seat
in the cab and, thought his friends
tried to dissuade him from goiug out
with his train, lie persisted and went
on his way. There was some uneasi-
ness felt for him, as it was feared he
might be hurt i iternaliy.

which it is understood will go to Gi-
braltar.
Despite the fact that the wind has
been blowing almost a gale, the sec-
ond-class battleship Colossus arrived
from Holy Head, the first-class battle-
ship Howe from Queenstown, and tbe
first-class battleship Benbow from
Greenock. -
The third-class eirfsiY Calliope,
which was on the way to the Canaries,

; ODDITIES OF POISONING.
Much of Earthly Happiness Depends
Upon What We Eat.
The constitutional differences and
peculiarities which exist among indi-
viduals should! always be carefully
watched and considered. One person
can handle poison ivy with impunity
while another* is poisoned if only in
the vicinity <n the vine and without
contact. Some members of a family
residing in a* malarial district will
suffer regularly with chills and fever,
while other members will not be at
all affected.
Food that Is actually poisonous to
some persons jvill not act so on others.
One person may eat all kinds of green
fruit and vegetables with impunity,
while another person could do so only
at the risk of life. Certain kinds of
fish are actually poisonous to some
people and perfectly wholesome to
others.
It is this peculiar condition of the
system which constitutes the danger
point in the individual case and
should be prudently observed by each
one for hlmseif. Intestinal derange-
ments frequently arise from and are
aggravated by certain kinds of food.
Thus a person affected with kidney or
liver trouble should not eat very white
bread, since the extreme whiteness is
often produced by the use of alum
W’ith an inferior article of flour, and as
alum is known to be poisonous in its
Effects on a sound constitution, this
is why alum baking powder is never
used by people of judgment and dis-
cretion.
More of earthly happiness depends
upon what we eat than many people
realize and it is for this reason that
the different states are one' by one
passing pure-food laws.
^Paris, Oct 29—At yesterday’s ses-
