'§ "' To the mouth of ttik Plscataqna River, la A.D. 1101, where Ports mouth now stands, came Capt. Mar tlß Prlng. making sarveys of the New Hampshire coaat. In later years Prlng, command tag the ship James Royal, of 1,000 tons, tailed to Japan. Prlng, on his return from Japan la 1110, raised a fund of over 170 for "The Bast India School,** to be established la Virginia. la July, ItOB, 101 years after Prlng, 1B the 'steamer Minnesota, Baron Komura, peace envoy of the Mikado, sent to treat with the Cxar's Ministers, moved down Teddo Bay. lone miles below Mississippi Bay, off Ooldsborough Inlet, he passed ander the shadow of Will Adams' tomb to come to Portmouth, N. H., the site first visited by Prlng, and whenoe, In lilt, the first accredited American envoy to Japan. Capt. Ed mund Roberts, sailed, with Presi dent Andrew Jackson's authority, to conclude s treaty of peace aad com merce with Komura'i country. The rise of the American com merce la Aala Is from many points of view highly romantic. It was not the work of the Government, bnt sprang from Individual Initiative. Gradually from our ports brave traders sailed forth la their sailing vessels, until In time there was de veloped the superb and matchless American clipper ship. Tet this commercial succees was won la ths teeth of frightful dlscouragsmsnts. Chinese and Malay pirates were as psrsistently busy as hnngy moe qultoe. Even nnder ssttled Govern ments IB Slam, for example, native creditors had power over the l)fe as well as ths property of American debtors. Our sailors were treated with barbarity, for who was there to protect or punish thslr oppressors T All this was seen by a young maa born la Portsmouth, N. H„ who to unique opportunity joined daring and ability. Bdmund Roberta, de scendant of a line of officers in ths British Navy, was born In Ports month, June tt, 1784. At thirteen through his Congressman, he re ceived a Midshipman's warrant In the United States Navy, bat obeyed ths wish of his mothsr. While she lived he remained at home, unUl 1800. Incredible as It may seem, no American man-of-war had yet sailed IBto the seas beyond Africa. Prom the Cape of Good Hope even to Yeso and Saghallen the state of our unprotected commeroe was palp fully Impressed upon his attention. In Java, Sumatra, ths Philippine Islands, not a few of oar sailors ware rotting In prisons, wsre en slaved among savage tribes, pined as oastaways on Japansse shores, or were treated with scant respsct by Asiatic rulers, whether petty or grand. On his return, Roberts Interested his personal friend, Levi Woodbury, then United States Senator from the Granite State, afterward Jackson's Secretary of the Navy, la his larger plsas. The reeult was that Roberts was appointed special envoy for the , purpose of effecting treaties which : should put our commerce en an equality enjoyed by other more-fav ored nations. Lsavlag Boston In March, 1111, Roberts, after visiting Montevideo, made a favorable treaty with the Sultan of Muscat, September 11, lilt, provldtfig for Uaited States Consuls, the proper treatment of Americans, and for our equality with the most-favored na tions. Reachlag home by taking the United States ship Lexington from | Rio Janeiro, after two years' ab eenoe, Roberts remained with his family a few months aad went out again In the Peacock to raUfy the ; old treaties, make new oaes, and above all to gala access, as he often 1 hopefully declared, to the closed ports of the hermit nation, Japan, Unfortunately, la China his hopeful career was closed. Roberts discovsrsd also that It was against the Portuguese grain to return properly oar men-of-war's salutes, that Is, gun for can. How ' could a republic be equal to a mon archy or a President dessrve the honor given to a KlngT At Porto Praya there was soms anxiety after the American's honor guns had thandered. But whyT Because Lieutenant Matthew C. Perry, la that part of the world I and away back In 1111, would not take the ode gun less allowed by Portuguese to republican Governments, aad the Uaited States steamship Cyaae went in contemptuous silence oat of the harbor. The same officer as treaty auker in Japan thirty-four years later would abate not one Jot of etiquette, and never even appeared ' until two dalmtoe, of high rank ap peared. "The Uaited States acknowl edged no aatlon as satltied to greats , tv rqspect than ItseU," said Perry in IMS and alwaya.

The American people have no con ception of the rigor aad aggresslve ness with which Germany la urging her claims In ths foreign markets aad clrcumvsatlng so far as possible the efforts of other countrlee to se cure a share of the foreign trade It Is German influence, exerted through certala well-known chan nels, that has helped to defeat our ship-subsidy bills, and other plans and measures designed to develop and promote our foreign commerce It la the same policy that haa led to the formatioa of the German syndi cate to help defeat Mr. Chamber tain's protective tariff.

Moth Proof Clothes Basket. The moth-proof storage recepta cle will soon be sought by every housewlie. tor wit' the presence of summer the winter woolen apparel and blanketa, etc., have to be dis posed of for another season. Ths difficulty with most of these devices Is that they are not tight enough to prevent the entrance of moths and bugs. Boxes or chests with loose fitting lids are ab* satisfactory, as ths obJecUoaable Insects manage to discover the smallest crevice, and the apparent security Is a mask for ! thslr undisturbed destruction. A i Western manufacturer - overcomes | this difficulty by the use of a practi cally hermetically sealed receptacle. ; which he secures by the use of s ' packing of rubber gas tubing. This t» placed Inslds ths rim of the cover, 1 and the tubing or pecking being of such a alxe as to make a tight fit Fastening la arranged through holes In one slds of the tubing from which project nails points adapted to engage in openings In the cover When made of canvas or other flex ible material such a receptacle pos sesses ths advantage.
