SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

Now that the question of the extension
OF trade into South America is being dis
cussed by our business men it will be we'll
10 give attention to information on the
subject furnished by the National Asso-
ciatlon OF Manufacturers, with head
quarters at Philadelphia. A recent publ
cation by that body affords convincing
evidence that there is great undeveloped
field for the enterprise of our merchants
in all sections of that country.
Among the points brought out in the
publication it will be well to note a niece

the association, Mr.. William Harper of
Philadelphia, Beware, he says of treat

carefully, not so much for what it is as for
the latent possibilities in it. The Ger
mans. who are rightly held up to us as
models in the art of great conquests in
commerce, treat the little orders as pre-
cous acquisitions. They are not expert
menters. Their success has proved their
wisdom.
Mr.. Charles a. Schieren of New York,
who has thoroughly studied foreign trade
methods and whose firm does a great deal
OF exporting, compares Germany's rapid
advance In the markets of the world to
those marvelously weIl-planned military
movements of 1870, which astonished the
world with the swift success in which her
thoroughly disciplined armies executed
them. We must adopt similar method, if
we would achieve similar success. If our
south American trade is to be developed
into vast commerce we must be careful
at the beginning not to despise the day of

Tiresome Trifes.

''HOw to remove warts from the
hand?" We once removed a large
seed wart from the elbow by simply
moistening a lump of washing soda
and touching the wart with it after
the mornings toilet was completed. 1t
was complete and lasting removal.
Although it took time, and the formu-
la was never omitted once to my rec
objection, so eagerly was the cure de-
sired.
If by "the pests that walk by night"
B. BIS are meant.-The most modern
modes of vanquishing them, routing
them entirely, are these: Gasoline, if
they are in the walls. Pyrethrum
powder and patience if in the bed
steads or furniture.
In the using of gasoline be very
careful not to enter the room with a
light until after windows have been
by tearing off all the paper and burn
ing it, Then with fine brush dipped
in gasoline, apply to every crevice-
around moulding boards, doors and
windows. Inject gasoline into all the
cracks of the walls, if any, and close
the room for twenty-four hours. Then
ventilate freely as before suggested,
before occupying or lighting up. Ten
cents worth of Pyrethum powder, and
a ten-cent pair of hand-bellows, or
bulb syringe, will work complete
charm over furniture infested with B.
BIS. But oh, if it is rats that are the
pest another course must be taken.-

A Simple Disinfectant.

1t is a fact not commonly under
stood that pure fresh water is one of
the most valuable disinfectants be-
cause it is a powerful absorbent. Ev-
cry sick-room should have large YES
sci of clear water, frequently renew
ed, near the bed. This not only alb
serbs most of the hurtful vapor, but
by it's evaporation it softens and tenn
pers the atmosphere, doing away with
the dryness which is so trying and de-
pressing to an invalid, or even to per-
sons in health, for that matter. 1t has
frequently been shown by actual ex-
periments that troubled sleep and
threatened insomnia are corrected by
SO simple thing as placing bowl
of water near sufferers bed. On the
other hand, water which has been
standing in an open vessel in a Sleep
ing-room Or sick-room should under
no circumstances be used for drink
ing nor should any liquid intended as
a beverage be allowed to thus stand
open to contaminat ion.-EX.

street shoes in wear, using them in
regular turn.
Notwithstanding the hard, firm, al
most impervious character of the fin
ished outside of the leathern foot
wear, it should be remem bered that
the rough inside is more or less alb
sorbent. The healthy foot should
perspire as freely as does the rest OF
the body; and since we cover it with
leather instead of with the light and
easily cleansed fabrics employed for
the person generally, we should at
last see to it that as many changes are
prov.ued for it as for the freer por-
tons of the body.
Were this done the leather would
have the same opportunity for puri
fication and drying out by thorough
airing as have other garments, the
heavy texture of which prevents them
from knowing the cleansing medium
of soap and water.

Baked Bananas.

One cent will buy good-sized ba-
in an oven for fifteen or twenty min
utes, until it is quite soft and bursts
open, alone makes a full meal. Now
the bananas sold at street corners are
really plantains. Humboldt calculat-
ed the food product of the plantain
compared with the potato as A to 1,
and compared with wheat as 1873 to 1,
[ say from personal experience that
three bananas weighing one pound
are equal in nourishment to twenty
six pounds of bread when baked.
Bananas should never be eaten raw;
they are full of animal germs and are
productive to tape worms. Raw banan-
as are very indigestible. Youngsters
fed on raw bananas nearly always
suffer from diseases of the intestinal
canal and commissions. Physicians
call such children "banana babies"
Baked bananas are an ideal food for
nervous persons and anaemics, also
brain workers. I learned their great
power to sustain mental effort in In
dia. If Wall street brokers and others
who are under great mental strain
would on two mornings every week
include a couple of baked bananas in
their menu and leave out the chop or
steak, they would last longer. [ am
