It was a Chicago man who sold his
affections to a woman for about hum
dred dollars and then repudiated the
woman; and it was q Chicago judge
who ruled that she could not recover
the money because mans love could
not be estimated in dollars and cents.
1t might have occurred to the judge,
one would think, that the man was a
swindler; and if that failed to bring
satisfaction there ought to have been

The United States consul at Vienna,
In report to the state department on
the trade of Austria Hungary for 1897,
ascribes the general decrease in ex-
ports to this country to the fact that
the same goods are now manufactured
in the United States and can be sold
there at the same or lower prices than
the Austrian goods. The report is that
American silk is being sold in Lyons,
the real silk center in Europe, and
that French manufacturers are buying
1t in large quantities, especially that
used for lining purposes, to take the
place Of that formerly imported from
Austria and Germany. There is fall
Ing off in the demand for pearl goods,
and for glassware, due to the popu-
1arity and superiority of the American
product. 1t is frankly admitted, sthe
consul says, that the American cut
glass is finer and more elegantly cut
than any manufactured in Europe. The
American bicycle, according to the con-
sui. is finding favor with the wheel
men, Notwithstanding it's higher price
over those Of domestic make. He
thinks that II United States manufac-
turers desire to get their wheels into
the foreign market they should be sat-
isfied with little less profit and try
TO make easier terms for their agents.

which will be the largest ever con-
