The compilation by the Bureau of
Statistics of reports ofexports from and
imports into the United States for the
calenfar year 1873, shows that the bal
alico of trade was 1901, 524,571 in favor
Of this country, rs against a balance of
STAG ,056, ll2 for the calendar year 1877.
This is the largest balance in Al favor
that has ever been known, and the in
,crease from 1877 was much greater than
she increase from 1876. The balance in
our favcr for the first six months of the
current fiscal year, from July to De-
-cember, is $l4S, SSS ,036, as against Il bal
ance Of $l02, l59, 500 for the correspond
ingAnonths of 1877. This indicates the
rapidity with which the commerce OF
the country is growing.
The above statements refers only to
shipments Of merchandise. There has
been II steady flow of gold into the
country during the year which has
just closed, reports showing that 81
07l,l73 more gold was imported than
ywas exported, while in 1877 the exports
of gold exceeded the imports by nearly
twenty-five millions. During the last
six months there was nearly three mil
lions more gold imported than expor-
ted, while the returns for the cores
p0nding months of 1877 show thal the
shipments were just the other way to
n similar amount.

What Boys do I'm Japan.

We have just had a foreign guest
at our house in whom we were sll
much Interesied-a young Japanese,
the son Of gentleman in northern
Japan. He has been in California
more than year, and came East
with the embassy, passing some days
with them at Salt Lake City, Of
which place and its people be says
many very funny things. But what
we are going to tell you now is how
the boys sometimes smuse themselves
in japan. He says that on his faith
er's place-which is on large plat
eau surrounded by high hills-is an
artificial fish. pond In it are a great
many FISH Of species be has not seen
here, that are about foot long and
very beautiful in color and form.
They are ss playful and as tame as
the kittens on our hesrths Que of
bis fsvorite smusements was going
TO this pond aud knocking on the
edge of the tank with some hard sub
stance TO make noise, when every
head would be turned in the direction
Of the sound, and every in employed
in making for him, the fish expecting
some treat from his hand. If, to tease
them, be threw nothing in at first, but
put his empty hand into the water
with his fingers all spread out, they
would all gather round it and seize
his thumb and fingers in their mouths
till be had as many fish as be had
thumbs and fingers, plsyfully snap
ping and biting a. them as we have
seen puppies DO.
But this paradise of the japanese
fish was often rudely broken in upon,
for it was not kept expressly as q
plaything for ooys, bat was the good
source which supplied the ish fox the

This young Japanese expressed
much surprise at seeing ersnberries
eaten at the table, and said that in
the mountains of japan they grow
very large and beautiful, but are never
cooked. Some old man occasionally
goes Bp to the mountain and picks a
large basket of them, which be brings
on his shoulders down to the town.
Here the boys gather about him. aud

crowd their pockets with them. And
what use do you think they make Of
this otherwise useless fruiti The
boys blow the glowing berries thro'
rattan tubes, as our boys blow white
beaas through tin oses. That's what
cranberries are used TOR in Japan,
where they grow in great perfection.

How Far the Pleasure OF Smoking is
Imaginary.

The question has been asked why
man smoking pipe should not be
aware when the candle is put out
whether the tobacco is still burning.
There is, first, the point of fact. Ii
may be questioned if any one really
finds bimselfin the difficulty suppos-
ed. We believe under certain condi-
tions. the doubt may exist. Smok-
ers are not always large consumers of
the weed. They often form habit
of taking very little smoke into the
mouth and of breathing chiefly
through the nose. The consequence
is that the pleasure" of smoking
may consist in having something to
do, aud the sensation of doing tba,
something to do is quite as likely 10
be matter of seeing as of tasting.
In cases of this class the smoker, be
ing deprived Of his accustomed evi.
dence or means of enjoyment, may
be distressed OF course, it is not al.
legged that man cannot ascertain
whether the contents of bis pipe are
lighted when be happened TO be in
the dark. That would be sheer fol
ly.
Meanwhile the experiment, if such
it can be called, is well calculated
to draw attention to the economic
question how far the pleasure Of
smoking is generally imaginary. II

peusive cigar and wasteiul pipe

Keeping the Boys on the Farm.

In an extended argument as to the
desirability of farmers sons to stick
TO the farm, the Cincinnati CONNER
cial observes that there is feature
in this matter of sons following the
calling OF their fathers that is not suf-
ficiently regarded.
"The calling of the father may rise
to higher dignity when the sons
adopt the business, thoroughly learn
it, aud zeslously and proudly pursue
it. Then the accumulated reputation,
capital and sll business of the parent
can be inherited and preserved BY
the sons.
"Tbe old Spartsns understood this
law Of developing sn aptness for .
given calling in the children. The
Germans of olden times developed
race Of warriors on he same prin-
eiple.
"Tbe law of herediiy il so broad
and 80 powerful in its influence that
it extends not only to the tempera-
meDt but even 10 the tastes The
taste, though like the muscles and
reasoning faculties. may be improved
By education. Sill the taste or The
spiness for any calling NAV now be
increased from generstion to gener-
alton
Then, il We are to reach the high
eat development as q race Of farmers,
We mus, expect il through the line Of
descent. The son must inherit the
fitness Of the father, and take up the
calling and business where be left oil,
and his son after him, and so on.
W hen this shall become the custom
in our farming families then shall we
see greater stability in society and
higher type Of civilization Every
parent has the chief power to bring
this work about Our nation Is TO
achieve its greatness in the develop
ment of agriculture. Its power 81
home and abroad is to be established
and held through the arts Of has
bandry, prscticed by q skillfnl and
rirtuous race of farmers. All then
that can be done by the State or the
family TO enoble and dignity the esn-
ing. and to entail its blessings and in
fluence from father to son, viii add to
the stability and grandeur Of the na-
ton"
