I Scenes in With a population of sixty thousand and one of the finest harbors In. the world, Kingston, capital of Jamaica, is the largest city as well aa the leading seaport of the British West Indies.

IN THE BLI gradual ascent ta the foot of the Liguanca Mountains. With stories of the Port Royal earthquake always fresh in their minds, residents of Xingston, especially the negroes, who constitute five-sixths of the population, have predicted that some day Kingston would meet the fate of the capital it supplanted.

It seems to me, says Hamilton Vright, in Leslie's Weekly, that the east appreciated feature of the Philppines is the diversity of climate. - -11 J ~ +1%/* UOUgn tne f nuippines are an iu mc ropics, yet frequently within a day's ravel one will come upon strong climatic contrasts. Whether you go to the lovely, cool aountain plateaus or down to the rarmer cities of the sea level you dll find that though there are hanges of the seasons, still the cliaate from day to day varies little, iy dressing properly one doe3 not eel the heat so much.

Yet prosrations never come as they do in Jew York in midsummer, and above 11 there are cool nights everywhere.

Shaw, ' Secretary of the Treasury, addressing , TOO students in the Harvard Union, prophesied a gigantic international trade war for the twentieth century, a contest which in bitterness would : surpass the awful battles of military ' history. ' England, France and Germany have long beeu dependent upon their ; manufactures for their national sub- ( sistence," he said. "We have long regarded ourselves as an agricultural ( nation, but at present we are manu- ( facturing five per cent, more articles ( than we can consume, and our manu- | factures are increasing four times as fast as our agricultural pursuits. rnese ngures plainly snow tnat Defore long we, too, will have to be dependent upon a foreign market in or- ! 2er to support our manufactures. "We must have this market if we are 1:o eiist. So must England, Germany and France. The conflict will i be an awful one. Gcfd grant that it i may be bloodless." The Secretary advocated the or- I ganization of a strong merchant ma- i rine. ' i "South America and the Orient are already heavy importers of manufactured goods," he said, "and we Americans must wake up to the fact, which , we apparently do not vet recognize, , that these are two of the places to ( which we must look for our increased foreign market." The speaker placed himself on rec- J ord as utterly opposed to the rich. 1 who owned seventy-five per cent, of the wealth of the country, none of ! which they earned, and declared that : the ideal of the American people should be to "work it out so that i each man will receive a little more than he earns from this seventy-five per cent, of our wealth." POISON SENT ORPHAN ASYLUM. I Bo* of Berries Received by Sisters? Three Deaths Recalled. Burlington, Vt.?That some one has murderous hatred for the Catholic Providence Orphan Asylum here i is shown by the receipt of a box of I poisonous berries sent to the sisters by mail. The box was postmarked , Lyndonville, and plainly addressed to St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum. ? No means of identifying the sender is evident. The berries are believed to be those of the mountain ash. Upon receipt of the berries the sisters sent them to the State Laboratory of Hygiene for analysis. In this connection is recalled the death on October 26, 1905, of three little girls at the orphanage from some form of poisoning not explained. The theory at that time was that the deaths were caused by the children eating locust berries, or the roots of the tree. IN JAIL WHILE JUSTICE SLEPT.
