ANXIETY IN ENGLAND
Concerning the Decreasing Exports.
THE DAILY EXAMINER
y I po NOVEMBER 28, (898. Loxpox, Nov. 26.— Right Hon. Charles > T. Ritchie, President of the Board of Trade, discussing the subject of British trade before the Croydon Chamber of Com merce this evening, said he regretted to have to confess that the exports for the year ending with October had decreased £2,000,90@, chiefly through the alteration ia the United States tariff.
“Although,” said Mr. Ritchie, “we are gradually making up the leeway, it is im possible to help a feeling of anxiety,
“Although we ought not to be surprised that we are being so rapidly overhauled in exports by other nations, especially by the United States and Germany, it is a regret-
able fact that while, since 1891, the exports of the United States have increased 18 per cent, Great Britain’s exports have decreas- ed 5 per cent.”
BYE ELECTIONS.
Waarever may be the result of the bye- elections to be held on the 14th of Decem- ber, the public mind will in the meantime be occupied with such questions as: What has the country gained by turning the Conservatives out and putting the Liberals in? Are the public expenditures reduced? Is taxation less? Are we all growing rapid- ly rich as a result of Free Trade with the world? Are we rejoicing in the extension of promised railways and the construction of breakwaters, piers and other needed
putlic works? In short, are we, as pre-
dicted by Sir Louis Davies, “ going ahead From Germany.

enriyle Silences a Watchman.
After several visits in Scotland dur- ing the summer of 1838, Carlyle went home again to Scotsbrig, writes Charles [. Copeland in The Atlantic. On his return thence he spent a few days in Manchester with Mrs. Hanning. ‘‘He had been put to sleep in an old bed, which he remembered in his father’s house.’’ ‘‘I was just closing my senses in sweet oblivion,’’ wrote he, ‘‘when the watchman, with a voice like the deepest groan of the highland bagpipe or what an ostrich corncraik might ut- ter, groaned out ‘Groo-o-o-o!’ close under me and set me all in a gallop again. ‘Groo-o-0-0!’ for there was no articulate announcement at all in it, that I could gather. ‘Groo-o-0-o!’ repeated again and again at various distances, dying out and then growing loud again for aa hour or more.
‘*T grew impatient, bolted ont of bed, flung up the window. ‘Groo-o0-0-o!’ There he was, advancing, lantern in hand, afew yards off me. ‘Can’t you give up that noise?’ I bastily addressed kim ‘You are keeping a person awake. What good is it to go howling and groaning all night and deprive people of their sleep?’ He ceased from that time—at least I heard no more of him. No watchman, I think, bas been more as- tonished for some time back.’’
Euglish Children and Negrocs,
The negro is not so well known as one might expect, considering that geog- raphy is widely and cften excellently taught in our primary schools. The ideas most frequently expressed con- cerning him are that he is black anda foreigner.
liere are some of the definitions: black man who lives in India.’’ dark man who comes from America.’’ ‘*A negro is a slav® we read of them in ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin.’ ”’ who lives in a foreign country.’’
The country children are even more lively in their descriptions than the town children: ‘‘A negro is a foreign man with black skin all over him with thick lips and curly black hair he goes naked.’’
‘*A negro is a man and they liveina very hot country and they have little huts to live in.’’ ‘‘A negro is a black man who acts in a circus.’’
‘‘A negro is’ a man whose skin is al- ways black, they are strong and they live in huts, and do not wear clothes

and they shoot with a bow.”’ ‘‘A negro
is a man what eats missionarys.’’ The Sunday school missionary stories and the traveling circus color the village
children’s ideas on negroes.—National ,;
Review. Glycerin and Foreordination.,
A glycerin man in conversation with a reporter the other day said that the majority of those who are engaged in the businese of shooting wells believe in foreordination. ‘‘I think that a man will not die till his time comes,’’ he said. ‘‘A man is liable to die at any calling, no matter how safe it may be considered. He will pass through all kinds of dapgers and never sustain the slightest injury. Then he is knocked out of existence when he least expects it.
‘“‘Glycerin men have to be guite nervy, but there is not one of them who doss not feel that he is in no great dan- ger. They think they will live out their allotted time and will not be blown up until the predestined event isdue. We are handling death every day and know it, but by the exercise of caution and common sense there are but few of us comparatively that are killed. The rail- road men are much more liable to acci- dental death than glycerin men are.’’— Bradford (Pa.) Era.
Cheerful Antipodean Truth Teller,
An ex-sea captain, now living in Syd- ney, many years ago was in charge of a ship carrying some convicts. The con- victs mutinied, murdered the crew and ordered the captain to navigate them to the islands, and, being a prudent man, he did so.. When satisfied asto their course, the convicts deliberated, decided that he had behaved himself well and put him ashore on the first large island they came to. He was a musician and took his violin with him. A threatening crowd of savages greeted his arrival, but Orpheus played to them till they thought him a god, brought him unlim- ited pigs and yams and bowed in adora- tion. Finally he married the chief’s daughter, succeeded him and ruled the island for years, till aship called in and he sailed away.—Sydney Bulletin,
