OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE.

The secretary OF agriculture is
sued, August Is, circular on the
imports and exports of the United
States for 1898 and 1894. 1t shows
that, Notwithstanding the depres-
sion of business, exports from the
United States in 1894 were valued
at $S89, $4,000, against $347 $685.
1874 in 1898. Three-fourths of that
vast value came from the farmers
of this republic.
Great Britain and Ireland lead
all the other countries in volume of
trade with the United States. The
English-speaking people of Europe
bought of the 1899, 900, 900 of Amer
lean exports $451, 100000 worth,
and, taking the British possessions
all together and as one customer,
they took $523,OOO,OOO worth, or
nearly sixty per cent. of the whole,
during 1894.
The United States imported from
Great Britain $1O7,OO0,O00 worth
of her products in 1894, or 1914 per
cent. of our entire imports. And
from all of the British possessions,
together with the United Kingdom,
$178,00O,000 worth, more than q
per cent. Almost 80 per cent of
the total United States exports were
to the United Kingdom and British
possessions, Germany, Canada,
France, Netherlands, and Belgium.
Of imports, after the first place held
by the United Kingdom and the
British possessions, follows Ger
many, with a valuation of $685. OO,-
600; Spanish West Indies, $82,OO0,-
900; Brazil and France, $76,000,OOO

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTIONS a.
A WORD TO ADVERTISERS.

The advertiser should place his
order for an ad. " it'll the same care
and business forethought that he
does his order for new goods. If it
pays to advertise, it pays to adver-
tise right In newspaper advertise
ing the great question is one OF cir
culation. It's not always the num-
Der Of papers that a journal prints,
but the vital point is the number
of papers that go into the hands of
actual subscribers and readers I'm
less the paper is read an ADVERTISE
ment therein 10 useless. The HER
AID believes that it has, not only
the LARGEST, but the BEST list of
bona fide subscribers of any paper
in lower Whitman county, and in
support of this claim offers its sub
scription books for the inspection
of any advertiser. "Rome was not
builded in a day." neither can
news paper subscription list be es-
tablished in a day or month. For
seven years the HERALD has been
building it's list of subscribers, and
the majority of those who were its
first readers are it's readers to-day,
and week by week new names have
been added, till it has list of which
it isjustly proud. 1t has esta blished
itself in the homes Of Pullman and
it's tributary country, and is there
fore the best medium through which
the Pullman merchant can reach
out for trade.
Another point which the adver-
tiser should keep in mind is that of
the construction of his ad. If it is
we'll set, being attractive to the eye,
it will bring you more trade than
the slouchy, badly-constructed ad-
vertisement. Look through the
HERALD and compare its "style'
with that of other papers that solicit
your patronage.
The HERALD will put your ad.,
set in an attractive manner, before
the greatest number of those who
may become purchasers of your
particular goods. Are you with US?

PROFIT IN SMALL COIN.

One of the most profitable occu-
pations of the United States gov
eminent is found in the scent
nickel pieces and 1-cent bronze
pieces. The cost of the bronze discs
from which the cents are stamped
is about 20 cents per pound, and a
pound of them produces $1.46.
Nickel, ready for coinage, costs 81
cents per pound, and pound pro
duces SAB in Scent pieces. The
average profit of seigniorage on the
coinage of these minor coins for the
past few years has been about $500
900. There is profit, and a con
siderable one, in the coinage of sub
sidiary silver coin, but owing to the
fact that the United States owns
several million ounces of bullion
which was purchased at the pre-
vailing high price of 1890, the profit
in that species of coinage is not as
great as it would be if the govern
ment should go into the open mar
ket today and buy silver at its mar
ket value for this purpose. There
is big demand at the treasury de-
partment for bright, new coins of all
denominations Almost every re-
quest that is received from banks
in various sections of the country
for subsidiary coin asks that bright
new ones be sent. Every month
the street car companies and banks
Of the capital city turn into the
treasury large quantities of nickels,
dimes and quarters, for which they
receive in return paper money Of
large denominations. Of course
the money thus redeemed is not
new" and there is no demand for
it. The result is that there are
large quantities of such subsidiary
coin in the vaults of the treasury,
and it is impossible to get it into

WHAT WE NEED.

What the man of to-day needs
most is not athletics in gymnas-
cum, but plenty of fresh air in his
lungs. Instead of a quantity of
violent exercise that leaves him
weak for several hours afterward,
he needs to learn to breathe right,
stand right, and sit right. The
young man or young woman who
starts on a career of training. and
keeps it up year after year, just at
the time when the body has great
deal of it's own natural work to do
and wants to do it, may make up
his or her mind that beyond a
snowy and superficial development
of muscle and strength, all this
training, in after life, is going to
count against them.-Annals of

TIE time must be near when
some railroad will extend into the
country beyond Lewiston. All that
is needed is a line of railroad to de-
vclop that magnificent stretch of

The roads will show themselves
slow to appreciate a good opportu-
nifty if they do not soon grasp the
chance for the trade of that new

THE SUPPLY OF WHEAT.

The estimate of the wheat crop of
the United States for this year is
now put at 4OO,O17,OOO bushels,
says the P.-L This is much less
than it has usually been during the
past twenty years, and it has only
been materially less in four years,
namely, 1875. wheni it was 3O7, 1O2,-
700 bushels; in 1875, when it was
295, 10000; 1877, when it was
289, 1856, 800, and 1886, when it was
357,112,OOO.
1t is considerably less than in
1892, when the actual yield was
Gil, 100000, and even less than in
1898, when it was 515,949,O0O.
These figures although given for the
fiscal year ending June 80, embrace
the production only to Decemb Der
81, of the preceding year.
It is a singular fact that in 1894,
which was the lowest production
for seven years, the percentage of
export was the greatest in twenty
years, reaching 41.47, although in
1892, when our production was over
so per cent. more, we exported only
1858 per cent.
Our home consumption last year
was only 231, 848, 500, less than it
has been for eighteen years; but the
average is over 3OO,OOO,OOO, so that
the prospect is we will have for ex-
port 1OO,O00,O0O, or less than half
that of of 1892 and 1898, and 64,-
283, 12ff less than last year.
So far as the United States is con-
cerned. therefore, the outlook for
the farmer is good. But we are met
by the enormous production of Rus
STA, which has reached 415,O52,OOO
bushels, and for the first time in
many years, if memory may be de-
pended upon, the United States
takes second place in volume ofpro-
duction.. In 189O-91 Russia pro-
duced only 1856, 100000 bushels to
our 45O,000,0OO. This enormous
increase is due to the opening up of

$4,000, but this is probably an err
ror. 1t can hardly have fallen so
low. The production of Argentine
and Chile is doubled, but most of
the other estimates are below the
average.
Of course, in making a COMPARE
son it must be remembered that for
past years the actual production is
given, while for this year we are
depending upon estimates which
must be largely the result of guess
work
Enough is known, however, of
the crop abroad, and the prospects
of still further increase, to serve as
a warning to the farmers of Wash

for home consumption. AS a staple

Chinese Cooking.

This knowledge Of what we are p leas-
ell to call artificial digestion runs large
Is through all Chinese cooking.
Whenever EIears, especially the heavy
and indigestible class, are to be EN-
ployed n food, the cook increases their
assimilative character by the Use of
peptoniferis tripe and vinegar. I have
often out Of curiosity examined the
numerous made dishes Of the MOngol-
cuisine with q view 70 ascertaiuing
their constitution. Whether il was
soups or stews, ragOuis or fricassee@,
pot rOasts or boiled, have found tripe
finely SHREDDED or thinly sliced in three
dishes out OF every five. The ratio was
largest in households Of wealth, where
well paid cooks were the rule, and
smallest in those where the conditions
were otherwise. As they discovered
the peptic virtue Of tripe in AL food
animals, they likewise found the same
quality in the gizzard of the bird king
dom. They have employed the giz-
Zard even more liberally in their cook
ing than they have the tripe, and they
regard it, u i the scientific truth, as
the most valuable Of all animal TISSUES.

which was on a scrap of paper. She
thought q moment. Then she said To
the messenger boy:
''i'il give yoa a shilling if you take
the note back to omy husband and tell
him that story without saying that YOU
came here at all"
The boy pocketed the money and
went back to the husband with the
note.

A Cyeler Trieked a Judge.

The CONSERVATION with which even the
most distant approach TO the appear
ance of censuring royalty i still re-

amusingiy shown in an incident which

leading to Lyngby Church.
''You have been cycling on the Lying
by Church footpath,r said the judge
sereEely.

''You are fined four kroner"

laid them down.
''Aiay ask, your worship" he in
quired, meekly, whether Prince Wal
demar and Princess Marie have per-
mission to cycle on the path in ques-
tiOn?'i
The judge looked uneasy. "Um-no
certainly not. Is this your first Of
fense?"
1T is-anI viii be my last"
''In that case" said the Judge, II
will let you off with caution this
time"
The culprit picked up his money,
bswed and walked off. A. he reached
the door, the judges curiosity over
came his discretion.
''Wait, Did you actually see Prince
Waldemar and Princess Marie riding
on that path:'
Il. your worship-eertainly not"
replied the wag, with a look of mild
surprise; and then with a twinkle in
his eye he disappeared, leaving the
judge to what must have been queer
reflections.

stanch political opinions IL was the
height of summer and very hot. The
lady was inclined TO be stout, and under
the influence of the heat she now and
then fell into nap, to the serious an

ness in this regard, asked Mr.. Leh-
mann in the lady's absence if he had
experienced any trouble of this kind.
Mr.. Lehman could not deny it.

next time it occurs you just mention

A Mechanical Til ksr.

To watch a tinker at his work, with
soldering iron and rosin, one would
little think that his humble sphere Of
usefulness would ever be filed By ma
chine. Inventors have been working
for year at a machine to make 2 tin
can. y few different designs have
been brought cut, tut the lat,st patent
is the Wagner mscbue. This solders
both the tops aud bottoms of round
cans on to tire can bodies; wipes, coolS
and discharges the cans without amy
other Iapdling than putting the cans
into the automatic feeding device.
The cans are pat into the feed. The
feed delivers the cans perfectly central
on the chucks Of the carriers. Moving
from the left TO the right the cans as-
sume an inclined position, and one end
Of the can Is rolled through bath Of
molten solder. After passing through
the bath the carrier brings the can
again to an upright position; it then
passes an automatic wiper, and after
that "a cooling pipe. BY this time The
can has completed fall circle around
the machine, and the carrier is now
swung, by means Of cams, into the
inner circle of the machine; this at the
same time turns the can end for end,
and it goes now in this inner circle
through the same operations of solder
ing, wiping and cooling, is above de-
seribed, after which the cans are auto
matically discharged from the machine
and the carrier swings again into the
outer circle 10 receive fresh can.
Its eompactness Is one Of the virtues
Of this machine. During the process
Of soldering the can DESERVES two full
revolutions around the machine. This
enables this Bit Of machinery To h.
built in half the space that has here
