It U natural that English booses should have preponderance, but the consol points ont some features of trade there which tend to show that America; traders arc not up to the advantages, existing tor them today. And yet there U continual talk of what most be done to uphold onr commercial enterprise In the orient. Consul Wilder says that German aggressiveness In the Hongkong market ts notable. Germans forestall the Americans by cutting prices and even maintain offices In this country to secure the profit on such goods In America os compete with their < manufactures. The Japanese, too, pushing and have already driven British out of some lines which 1 had monopolized for many In some cases the American concerns work In conjunction with English bouses, but the consul remarks that foreigner* will not push America; goods to the exclusion of others. “Do tn American goods,” be concludes, “art represented by exclusively American concerns the United States can be no considerable factor' - In the trade pass

For ivuiturlea before the supremacy nf the British crown In India the tire laud, from Bengal to Bombay and from the Himalayas toTravaucore, w harassed by hands of (lends known lu ISoT. " lieu England dei>uaed rulers and placed the purple upon 1 shoulders of her representative, the viceroy, conditions changed, and. among other outrages, the tbngs were hunted down and forced to cower under the penalties of the new laws. For years they were unheard of. and men gradually forgot the terrors they had lea rued from the lips of their forefathers, w ho considered It a prime duty to caution their children against the dangers that would beset them from cradledom till death by the prevalence But occasionally even n thug gets In his deadly motive of the thug Is threefold. His forefathers for generations were bloodt hi niter*, and he comes by his catling through heredity. He must have blood or he will die. He munlere from the Instinct of pure passion. Akin to murder, as It necessarily Is. the robbing of his victim Is a Joy. and be chuckles to himself as he drops a dripping ear or a bloody Anger Into ht« girdle for the sake of the Jewels. His list motlve-and here be stands In a class by himself—he Is a murderer from a sense of religious duty, victims are a sncrIBce to the gods. The more victims, the more propitious the sacrifice A corpse Is his stepping ■tone to heaven. He must kill or he Is eternally lost. He loses no time; no Idle words are exchanged. He works like the clock. His system varies no more than the pendulum. “Kill and gain heaven; fall and be damnod.” Is his slogan. But he never falls. The nett he lays are Intricate. his plans complex. Interchangeable. Where one fall! abort another

succeeds.

The thug Is a nomad. Nowhere Is his permanent home, and any Jungle or mountain cave serves his purpose for a shelter or a place to vaunt hla treasure. He Is a perpetual traveler. His victims are likewise travelers, for a lonely road and a forest path alone suit bis purpose. The city and the palace are not for him. The system, which Is no misnomer, for the method that Is used In the practice of thuggee. Is as nnlqne as It Is terrible. In the history of the nations no other organization has ever been known to proceed similarly. The whole crime Is committed as though operated from an electric switchboard —a mere passing of the current and the deed Is done. The method of proAfter prayers have been offered to the goddess of death, Kali, the entire band, usually from ten to forty men. prepares for the expedition. Every man strips to the skin, wearing onlj a light leather girdle about the waist. The girdle Is furnished with various pockets to deposit plunder. Stripped, the thugs engage for a time In athletic games, such as wrestling and running. In order to be physically fit. A bath Is then token, and the whole body from topknot to toe nail Is greased with sweet oil. A small, keen blade U slipped Into the girdle, a cord wrapped around the waist In loose colls. They are ready to start. With the stealth of the tiger the band proceeds through the Jungle Sometimes they walk, at others crawl. Every tree every shrub. Is a vantage point, and thither they seek shelter on the slightest suspicion, they scarcely cause a fallen twig to crackle as they tread, yet their movements are swift as a serpent's. They glide rather than move normally, and the snaky gleam of their eyes completes the They reach It Is along a through a lonely visible save that from stray beams percolating woven boughs of trees end overgrowing shrubbery.

Immediately the loop Is tightened. The eyes bulge, the Ups swell, and the tongue rigidly protrudes. The cord Is drawn still tighter. Two minutes later the four merrymakers are dead. • Quickly the murderers rush to their victims, loosen llui cords and carry the bodies to the forest, where the remainder of ;he baud tt. They receive congratulations and feast In honor of their success. Later the bodies are stripped of their valuables. Shallow holes are than dug In the ground; a short ceremony of thanksgiving Is offered to the all powerful goddess Kail; the corpses are dumped Into the holes and covered with dirt.

The fact that a violin will survive a tbonsuud calamities If rightly repaired Is no excuse for knocking It obont or neglecting it. There arc a few little attentions which enatly Ix-come habits and which go a long way (jward keeping a violin In good condition. The first Is to keep the Instrument clean. The old notion that a coat of resin docs a violin good Is ridiculous Besides spoiling the Parnlsh, It ts spt to get Into the ppres of the wood. I>u';t quickly forms a crust on a violin which Is difficult to remove. Therefore after being played upon the lustnimeut should always be wiped off. It takes only a few moments to brash the resin from under the bridge and finger hoard. For this purpose a soft linen or silk cloth should be kept In the violin case. Never try to iwllsb your violin with oil. Many valuable instruments bare been bu|>clcssly ruined by experiments of this kind. The well known Instrument maker J. A. Otto says that the Inside of a violin should be "cleaned ont every half year with a handful of barley made rather warm and [toured In at the f-boles. Then, by properly shaking the Instrument, the dust will adhere to the barley and come out through the f-boles." The qoestlou of strings Is an Important one to all violinists. Cheap strings never pay. They either break quickly or they liecome false, it Is mnch more economical to buy the beat Italian strings and then to Uke good ca them. Strings that are left on the violin very lung become hard and dr} - and have often to be discarded before they break. However, If a little ca taken of them they will keep a long time In good Sonorous condition. Bub them off with a soft cloth dipped In olive or almond oil. Besides being nourishment to the string the oil r moves, the hardened resin which d leett under the bow and which produces a rasping, grating kind of Sound. Then. also, the oil cleans away the ■aces of perspiration from where the ngers touch and thus prevents the Tings from growing false. Of course ic oil must be thoroughly cleaned off gain before the bow tt applied. It Is a good [dan to have your 1 all paper and tin box or glass Jar, as ; sensitive to beat and less os are those on the B. Foley In Circle.
