Financial experts belive China by proper investment can clear between 20.000,(XJO and $40,000,000 a year in interest based upon the flotation of the $1,000,000,000. Computation shows that the expense to China in maintaining a staff of experts to supervise this financial movement will not exceed 10 per cent of the net gains yearly. 8tate Department Clearing House. Lord Li, who was in Washington last week and acted as diplomatic adviser to Prince Tsal, is particularly active in engineering this innovation. He is well known by and an admirer of J. Pierpont Morgan. : As the Chinese government understands it, Mr. Morgan and bis lieutenants not merely act as individuals but largely as representing America. China is not disposed to rely wholly, upon individual?, and unless she draw upon the good will of the whole nation she would rather notact. This is understood in Washington as bringing the loans largely under the direction of the state department.

When Tennessee Was Known as the Stats of Franklin. Probably tew people know that Uir original uame of the slate of Tennese? was Fraulilin or that in 1785 the sal aries of the ! utficers of the commonwealth were paid in pelts, but the fol lowing is a correct copy of the law; . "Be it enacted by the state of Frank lin. and it is ureby enacted by author ity of the same, that from and after the 1st day of January. 1788. the salaries of this common wealth be as followsto wit: "His excellency the governor pel annum. 100 deerskins. "His . honor the chief Justice, 500 deerskins. "The secretary to his excellency the governor. 500 raccoon skins. . ""County clerk. 300 beaver skins. "Clerk of the house of commons. 200 raccoon skins. "Justice's fee for serving a warrant, one ininkskin." At tbat time the state of Franklin extended to the east bank of the Mississippi river, and on the west bank was that great unknown forest region of Louisiana. It was then a terra in cognita. save a few canoe landings and Indian trading posts on the river banks. It was known as the district of Louisiana and in 1805 was made the territory -of Louisiana. The state of Franklin, wbicb became Tennessee in 179C was almost as little known. The now great city of Memphis was a mere trading post and was not laid out as a village until 1820. Pelts were as plentiful In those days as pennies and much better distributed for purposes of currency and barter. The Doctrine of Election. When the late Seua tor' Vance was running for congress be called on an nld colored man who had in early life served the Vauce family. Asked after his health, the former servant replied. "Mighty po'ly In this wort, but It's all right over yander." "Do you believe in the doctrine of election?" nsked Vance with great solemnity. "It's the doctrine of the Bible," answered the old man. " "Uncle Ephraim. do you think I've been elected? asked Vance again. "Massa Zeb, I'd a leetle ruther yon wouldn't draw that question.

A TOBACCO COMBINE

Has Been Effected Among the Growers of "Weed Preble County. in TO CORRECT THE PRICES Eaton. O., May i. With a view to correcting the present market prices of farm products, but more especially that of tobacco, about seventy three of Preble county's largest tobacco grow ers and farmers have Joined hands with the American Society of Equity, and hope before long to have all prices materially advanced. In order to effect the purpose of the organization, its members have agreed to hold off the sale of their crops un til. the demand has become sufficiently great as to justify a price that they deem fair.. For the members who are not financially strong and who would not be able to hold back their crops, the society .will raise a benefit fund, from which loans will be made to the weaker ones. For the money advanced no interest will be charged. To tobacco buyers in this state the result of the - farers' organization will mean much, for the greatest quantity and best quality of filler tobacco cultivated in this state comes from Preble county, and demand for it has always been strong. The cause of the unsatisfactory price now prevailing for the crop is attributed by. the farmers to the organization of buyers to dictate the price. Knowing that banding together has won out for buyers, raisers belonging to the society see no reason why the same principle will not work in their dictating the price. GATHERING OPiUViflow the Petals and Juice of the Poppy Plant Are Procured. . Opium growing is a sort of garden cultivation, the . poppy plants being grown in little squares or beds intersected by tiny water channels for Irrigation wherever this is possible. The growth of the plants is carefully tended, and at length the time comes when they burst out into flower, and the fields look like a sheet of silver as the white petals of the flowers glisten in the morning dew. These beautiful petals are the first produce of .the crop, for the women and children of the cultivators' families come forth aud pick them off one by one and carefully dry them, so that they may serve afterward as the covering of the manufactured cakes of opium. Then the poppies, with their bare capsule beads, remain standing in the open field until it is considered that they are ripe for lancing. The cultivators then come forth In the evening, and with an implement not unlike the knives of a cupping Instrument they scarify the capsule on its sides with deep incisions, so tbat the juice may exude. In the early morning the cultivators reappear with a scraping knife and their earthenware pots, and they scrape off the exuded juice and collect It in their pots. And this Is crude opium.

AT MOVIIIIr TARGETS Uncle Sam Is i Teaching His Soldiers to Shoot at Them to Perfect Aim.

TO MAKE SHARPSHOOTERS (American News Service) : San Antonio, Texas, May 0. So far three men have been accidentally shot as the result of the new target practice regulation recently enforced by the war department. The accidents are said to be due to the new disappear ing targets which have been installed at Leon Springs military reservation which is the field practice ground of Fort Sam Houston garrison. Formerly the targets moved considerably slower and warning was given the men when they would appear. This made It possible for them to fire with a great deal of deliberation. The present system has changed all this. Not alone are the targets of various sizs and shapes but they are also liable to show up at any distance within 50O efet. Moreover the target is visible only for a few seconds and during that time the soldier has to adjust his sight, take aim and fire. The haste resulting from this has led to serious accidents which happily so far have not resulted in deaths. i It is understood that the change, is due to the wish of the war department to further increase the efficiency of the expert riflemen, marksmen and Popular Excursions Via C.
