Foreign Chrisimas Fresegls
It is estimated. that the amount of re—
mittances through the foreign depart-
ment of the postal money order ser-
vice for the holiday season will be not
lees tha11$15,000,000, The most of this
immense sum goes from Americanized
foreignersto their relatives in the vari-
ous,countries- of Europe.
It is said that there is an offset to this .
account in the way of money sent by
relatives living. in Europe to their con-
nections in the United States. The re-
turn amountis thought to belonc-third
ofitziat which goes to Europe—that is,
$5..)00,000. If these calculations a1:-
pz-oJach accuracy, the balance against
the .United ,States in the foreigner:-
changes would. be about $10,000,000.
Don’t Gen-Scared.
We advise says the Lewiston Journal,
New England manufacturers and wage-
earners not to, get into a panic-or suffer
the Arkwright Club to stampede them.
Temporary expedients that are greatly
to be regretted may be necessary.
we believe, that at no distant day those
who have foreboded the devil to pay in
New England cottons, because ofa low-
er civilization in Dixie, will be shown
to have had a temporary and pardon-
able derangement of the liver. The
superior may suffer because of the infe-
rior, but when the former is to blame
for the latter, he will find ways of cor-
rection and development which shall
preserve the profits of capital by de-
veloping the wages oflabor, on which
alone capital can do steady business.
It is the arrest of wages that has brought
about the present trouble of undercon-
sumption, and this trouble cannot be
cured by the hair of the dog that bit
us.

Business and Sentiment. -»
The action of the French Chamber of
Deputies increasing the duties on hogs
1, and hog products is a perfectly legiti-
mate method of checking" American
competition with the hog industry of
France. It furnishes bot-h revenue and
protection and, although it will be, to
some extent, injurious to an important
interest in the United States, we have
no ground of complaint. It is, in fact,
none of our business, for this nation
must concede to others the right, which
it exercises itself, to make their own
revenue laws to suit themselves un-
dctcrred by international good fee ling
or by any" othe1 consideIation e: 'cept
existing treaties. '
Sentiment has no necessary connec
tion with business matters= add the hog,
whether of American, French, or other
nativity, is not a creature that naturally
excites scntimentalism. But Premier
Meline. in putting the increase of hog
duties through theasscmbly, took occa-
sion to remark that “France Is at- one
with the UnitedStates on the question
of bimetallism.” It 18 gratifying to the
United States to have the-Premier’s as-
surance that the heart of France beats
in responsive sympathy with the Amer-
ican heart on the question of silver,
while the business brain of France
claps an additional tax on our hogs
and all the products thereof.
The French way of treating our por-
cine products contrasts very strikingly
with the German plan. The French
ministry like the German finds it. ex-
pe edient to conciliate the ag11cultu1al
interests. The French ministiy does
the conciliation act openly, squarely,
honorably: The German
ment. instead of meeting our competi-
tion with a tax, tries to protect the
German hog-raisers by bogus inspec-u
tion and false reports of American ship-

straight business 1101'. honest sentiment

AN ABSENT-MINDED 111..
The Cabmau Believed in Obeying urn“.
to the Lette1.
“When I was younger than I wi’.
ever be again,’ ’said the plofessorxwih
a three-story head and eyeglasses cf
telescopic power, “I was the victim cf
such intense mental abstraction that 1'
removed myself entirely from 11:;
world of practical affairs. I was in the
boundless realms of thought and paid
but fleeting attention to the active field
of human action. It was neccessary to
notify me when I should attend my
classes, eat my meals and even when I
should retire.
“I was at one time requested to lec‘
ture in a western village, and agreed
to do so. The theme was one that had
received my best thoughts, and the
mere prospect of delivering it was a
physical pleasure. When I arrived at
the depot my thoughts were concentral
ted upon the proposed a dress. I
realized that my train was an hour late
and that I must hurry, but beyond the
mere fact of hurrying I-did not grasp
a detail.
“ ‘Drive fast!’ I shouted to the driv—
er of a dingy-looking vehicle as I
sprang in and handed him a five dol-
lar bill. ‘Spare neither horse nor
whip.
“Away we went with a plunge. The
carriage rolled like a ship in the
trough of the sea. Street lights seem-
ed a torchlight procession moving rap-
idly the other way. Constables shout-
' ed, dogs barked, small boys chased us" '
and business ceased that people might
stand on the sidewalk and gaze. Up
one street and down another we dash-
ed madly. We took corners on two
wheel-s, grazed telegraph poles and
knocked over such moveables as ash
barrels and dry goods boxes.
“After half an hour of this bewilder-
ing experience, I stuck my head from
the window and shoutedi ‘Are we
‘nearly there?’
“ ‘Where did yez want to go; sor?’
came the edifying answer.”—Detroit
Free Press.
MAKING $2, 000 EASILY.
AJoke Which Enriched Its Authox llo-‘
yond Expectation.
A certain speculator had need of a
large sum of money for his operations,
and found himself with a very small
balance in the bank. IHe consulted a
friend as to how he could get over the
emergency. The friend suggested that
he should draw on somebody in anoth—
er city. The operator said he knew no
one that owed him, and the friend in-
sinuated that that would make no dif-
ference if the draft did not return too
Soon.
The operator reflected a. time and
then wrote out a draft on the Sultan of
Turkey for £2,000 and deposited it in
the bank. The draft came into the
hands of the Rothschilds, who forward-
ed it to Constantinople, and it'was duly -
presented to the Sultan’s Chamberlain.
“Who is this man?” asked the‘ cham—
berlain of the Sultan’s treasurer.
“Don't know him, ” replied the treas-
urer
‘-‘Do we owe him anything?” asked
the Chamberlain.
5N0,” replied the other.-
“Then do not pay it,” decided the
Chamberlain.
“But if I might advise,” said the
crafty treasurer, “this draft comes
through the Rothschilds with .whom
we are negotiating a loan. Would it
be safe, under the ‘ circumstances, to
dishono1 it?”
"Pay it, ” said the Sultan’s chamber-
lain, and so the speculator was £2, 000
richer than he knew, 'to his own great
astonishment .—-LondonI Telegraph .
Robert Louis Stevenson’s Nurse.
Alison Cunningham, Robert Louis-
Stcvenson's old nurse, was much he-
loved by him, and he sent her a copy
of each of his books, with his own in-
scription on the fly leaf.- Generally
the inscription is just a line or two:
“Alison Cunningham, from her boy,
or "from her laddie.” But one of the
volumes—“An Inland Voyage” (1878)
—contain§ the following: “My Dear
Cunning~lf you had not taken so
much trouble with me all the years of
my. childhoOd, this little book would
never have been written. Many a

NATIVE HAWAIIAN WOMEN.
Those of the Mixed Blond Proudei of the
Kanaka Than of the Anglo-Saxon Part
Hawaiian Women have a Wonderful
charm of manner, and their smiling
faces, dark,lustrous eyes and soft voic-
es have a fascination "about them that
cannot be easily defined. They carry
themselves with a. grace and dignity
peculiarly their own—even the flower
women, with their pretty lei customs—-
though their feet may be bare, have a
certain dignity of bearing never seen
in- the Anglo-Saxon of the same class.
Hawaiian women are proud of their
blood, those of mixed blood prouder of
the dark strain, which often comes by
ancestry of c-.hiefs It is one of the
strong characteristics of both men and
woman—stronger in the women, who
are of more pensive and intense nature
——tha't where white blood predomi-
nates their first loyalty and pride is in
the Hawaiian blood.——.-Chicago Times

I-IOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand tWenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There IS comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’ s
Swamp-Root. the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish' 1n relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
evei y part of the urinary passages. It
cor1ects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and oveicomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times du11ng the night to min-
atc. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp—Root is soon 1ealized.
It stands the highest fo1 its wonderful
cu1 es of the most disti essing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by d1 ucrg1sts, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE,
and send you1 address to Dr. Kilme1 &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y.‘ The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this affair.
