ENGLAND DEPENDENT
Upon Us For Her Food Product.

upon US For Her Food Product.
LONDON, Feb. 9.-The annual report
just issued by the president of the
board of trade relative to the imports
into the United Kingdom in 1898 con-
tains figures of considerable interest to
the United States and Canada, show
ing, as they do, quite an increase in
the value of the imports from those
two countries over the preceding
years.
The bulk of the imports from North
America consisted of live stock. Dur.
ing the year the United States sent
S31, 1914 ,92O worth of live stock to the
British isles, and Canada S,S73, 5000
worth, the two countries
together furnishing more than
IS per cent of the total amount of live
cattle, sheep and hogs imported into
the kingdom. The remainder of the
cattle importations came almost en-
tirely from Argentina. With regard
to sheep and lambs alone, Argentina
occupies the premier position, having
sent to England IS per cent OF the total
imported.
Taken altogether the value of the
imports of live cattle fell considerably
below that of 1897 and even lower
than 1896, but this was more
than compensated for by the increase
in the imports of dressed
meat. AS the main source of British
imports of fresh beef the

the total import. The same is true of |
the imports of bacon, S32, 191, ,191, or
nearly 63 per cent, went to the United |
States. while S13, 3,5O5,36 went to Den
mark and 81, ,97s, 125 to Canada.
OF bacon, lard, salt, pork and all |
other hog products the total value of
he importations from the United
States during the year were S65, ,552,-
40. Imports of cheese declined both in
quantity and in value, the
,ear's totals having fallen back nearly
o those of 1896. Out of the total i'm.
'ort OF S24, S5l, ,235, Canada contributed
o the extent of S14, ,71S,625, and the
United States to the amount of S., O32,

han the corresponding totals in 1897.
The imports of lard greatly expand
d during the year. To the total value
$14, ,43S, $40, the United States con-.
ributed to the extent of S13, 1881, ,4O5,
saving only S457 .465 as the value of

ources.

Some May Eat With Impunity Certain
Foods Which Are Rank POisOns to
Others.
The constitutional differences and
peculiarities which exist among in.
dividuals should always be carefully
watched and considered. One person
can handle poison ivy with impunity
while another is poisoned If only in the
vicinity of the vine and without con-
tact. Some members of q family re-
siding in q malarial district will suffer
regularly with chills and fever, while
other members will not be at all affect
ed.
Food that is actually poisonous to
some persons, will not SO act on others.
One person may eat all kinds of green
fruit and vegetables with impunity,
while another person could do 80 only
at the risk of life. Certain kinds of
fish are actually poisonous to some
people and perfectly wholesome to
others.
1t is this peculiar condition of the
system which constitutes the danger
point in the individual case and should
be prudently observed by each one for
himself. Intestinal arrangements fre-
quently arise from and are aggravated
by certain kinds of food. Thus per-
son affected with kidney or liver
trouble should not eat very white bread
since the extreme whiteness is often
produced by the use of alum with an
inferior article of flour, and as alum is
known to be poisonous in its effects on
q sound constitution. This Is why alum
baking powder is never used by people
Of judgment and discretion.
More of earthly happiness depends
upon what we eat than many people
realize and it Is for this reason that
the different states are one by one
passing pure-fOod laws.

FAIRFAX STONE.
Facts about This Historic Land Mark.

The Fairfax Stone, SO frequently
referred to, marks the source of the
Potomac liver. Numerous inquiries
have been made in regard to it's loca-
ton. It starts the corner of two
states, Maryland and West Virginia,
and four counties, Garrett in Mary
land and Preston, Tucker and Grant
in West Virginia. The Fairfax Stone
is said to have been the first monu-
ment in what is now West Virginia
to mark ownership of land. The shaft
was 4 feet, 6 inches in length and rest
ed on base 2 feet 6 inches square.
There was no date but on each side
were the letters IF. X.' This stone.
which was one of the most interesting
historical monuments in the United
States, was destroyed in December
is generally believed that mischievous
boys were at the bottom of the van
dalism. The Davis Coal & Coke Com
pany had stone cut as nearly as pos
sible reproduction OF the original
and put in its place. 1t still stands.
The planting OF the Fairfax Stone
marked the wind up of survey COM
pleted in October, 1746 to determine
the extent of Lord Fairfax's patent.
The king of England granted Lord
Fairfax's petition to allow the survey
and the commissioners appointed TO
carry out the survey started from
Fredericksburg, Va. The object Of
the survey was really tn determine fha
extent of the Potomac river and to
locate its spring or first fountain. At
the mouth Of the South Branch a halt
was made but the North Branch was
decided to be the true continuation
of the Potomac and the tedious jour
ney was continued until the fountain
head, the present site Of the Fairfax
Stone was reached. Then the party
returned and the surveyors made
map and sent it with their report to
England. The stone was planted sew
eral years later.
