r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: ''The year 1898 has not only
been one of victory, of important increase
in territory and of incalculable expansion
of the influence of the United States
among other nations, but has surpassed
all other years in financial and industrial
results. The center Of financial power
has crossed the ocean. After paying
debts of several hundred millions abroad
and conducting war to an honorable end
the country is lending so many millions in
Europe that, for the first time, banks
abroad look to New York to dictate the
rate Of exchange. Exports have been
about 81, 250, 100000 and the excess over
imports about $617, 900, 900, against $751;
100000 in 1897, and in only two previous
years has the balance risen to $500, OOO,-
600. Power in the worlds markets comes
with demand for breadstuffs and other
necessities never before equaled. Exports
of cotton have been over 100000 bales,
and in no previous year as much as 7,OOO,-
600 bales. Exports Of breadstuffs have
been i'll value 83,91S,294 in eleven
months, and have never been as large In
any other year. Exports Of wheat for the
year. lacking a day or two, have been
21S,594 ,GS6 bushels, -four included, slight
ly exceeded only by 225.665,912 in 1892,
and of corn 2OO,979,O77 bushels, only ap-
preached by 1S9, $40 in 1897. The
heaviest exports Of both grains and -four
in any previous year were 100000
bushels smaller, only $50, 22O,513 in 1897
Though wheat was raised to $1.91 in May,
the highest quotation, the December av-
erage has been only r cents, 25 cents
below that of last year. but the years av-
erage, SO cents, is the highest since 1881"

A Peculiar Dedication.

Kansas City's new convention hall,
practically completed, was dedicated to
the public in a unique way. The building,
which will seat $4,000 persons and is one
of the largest in the country, was erected
by popular subscription. First thousands
of convention hall buttons at 81 each, ev-
cry one Of which entitled the holder to one
share of stock in the building company,
were sold. Later gifts were donated by
business men until no less than 1000 pres
ents, ranging from a sheet of music to
81 600 house and lot, and including a lion
cub. a racehorse and three $1,000 thor
oughbred heifers, had been received by the
building committee. These presents, it
was decided, should be drawn as prizes,
and 100000 tickets, at % cents each and
emitting the holder of each to grab"
for the prizes, were sold. When the
drawing was begun thousands of peo-
pie of all degrees and conditions focked
in and out of the building to take their
turn at chance. A band discoursed mu-
sic, while the judges, with the aid of two

Two Tramps Murder Farmer.
John Wellner of Lafayette, Mimi, was

rope, which she chewed in two after four
hours. She found her husband dead in

The Sow M n MIX Producer.

The value of the SOW as a breeder,
says the Boston Cultivator, depends
very largely on her capacity as a milk
producer. In selecting the sow to be
used for breeding this is often not
thought of as it should be. A SOW
with long body, straight back and her
belly lined with two rows of well de-
veloped teats gives all the outward
signs of good milk producing capacity.
If such a sow is chiefly fed with the
food best for making milk, including
some beet roots, wheat middlings and
skimmilk, she will probably be a good
mixer. We believe that the capacity
for milk production can be increased
in individuals and can also be trans
mitted to their progeny. but it requires
that the stock used for breeding, or at
least the dam, should not be highly fed
with grain. This has always been the
rule with old farmers. 1t is nothing
against the sow as a breeder that she
should be large, coarse built and not
at all handsome. If she is mated with
pure bred boar of some early matur-
ing breed, the pigs when dropped will
be larger and better, with few or no
runts, and they will grow up into Il
greater amount of pork than can be
made from single litter bred in any
other way. The pig that has dam
which gives an abundant supply of
milk has its digestion so well devel-
oped early that it is never apt to be
stunted from high feeding as it grows
older

The Creat Americnp Hoe.

The tables of exports published by
the treasury department indicate a
marked increase in the exports of hog
products for last month. The exports of
bacon amounted to over 81, 600, 900
pounds, of hams to nearly %, 900, 900
pounds and of pork TO over 10000, 600
pounds The export of lard alone show
ed a slight decrease in comparison with
the same period of last year. This ex-
hibit is the more gratifying from the
fact that the agitation of the agrarian
element in Europe. particularly in
France and Germany, is mainly direct
ed against the American hog. While
this partisan agitation is not in the in
terest either of the German or French
people, as it deprives them of cheap hog
products, it has had the support of the
governments. That in spite of it the
export tables continue TO show steady
growth must be put down TO the credit
of the invincible American hog. Den

FANS.

The fan in ancient Rome was used in
religious ceremonies, and on many of
the vases of marble, jade and bronze
which have been from time to time
found yestal virgins are depicted hold
ing fans of feathers with long cedar,
ivory or golden handles, with which
they kept the sacred fire aliglIt.
The dainty 10th century fan of Spain
was made of rice paper adorned with
feathers and often painted by great ar
lists. In France, where some of the
most beautiful fans were made, a lovely
one was given by Queen Marguerite to
Louise de Lorraine, valued nj 5000.
Catherine de Medici was the first to
bring Italian feather fans into France.

blem of heaven and happiness, and the
shapes of these instruments have been
preserved for us in the frescoes of the
tombs and ancient monuments. In the
time of Rameses the Great (circa b. G..
1850 the fan was used as a standard,
and was carried only by royal princes or
by warriors of renown not less than Of

Nobody knows when or where the fan
originated. Probably on Il warm day
Eve picked Il big palm leaf and waved
it in the air before her face and since
then all her descendants have but fol-
