yellow fever cases occurring in New
Orleans during the past few months
were never reported to the health Off
Gals, or, at least, were never reported
by those officials to the public. Mr..

one Of the ballots for Themistocles

vators in the Arcopagus, going back to
date earlier than 470 B. c., as that

Mrs. Mullins, Of Tennessee, has some
advantages. She sells "moonshine' in
her happy mountain home without fear
of moIestation from any Of Uncle Sam's
revenue officers. The reason is that the
old woman weighs nearly 700 pounds

whatever of taking his prisoner away
AS neither man nor mule can carry her
down the mountain side, it Is likely
that the old woman will continue to
defy the government indefinitely.

That this country is successfully
reaching for a. share of the worlds
trade is shown by the figures of exports
of manufactured goods. In 1875 the
total was SOL, 637 ,54S; in 1886 they had
increased to $147, 1881. The figures for
Aooo oiloW poo, i1o,ouor lIe ue&C year
they had increased to s22S, 571, ITS. Dur
ing the nine months ending in Septem-
Der, 1897, the total of American manu-
features was S212, 47S, $40 and the treas

ton that in many lines of goods we
