s3o,ooo,ooo EXPORT INCREASE.
This Amount For the Year Indicated by
Past Eight Months.

WASHINGTON, d. C. (SpeciaD The e1-
ports from the United States OF manufac-
tured good in the fiscal year 1899 are
likely to show an increase Of more than
$50, 900, 900 over that of last year, Iron
and steel will supply more than hall OF
that amount.
In the eight months Of the fiscal year Tor
which the Treasury Bureau OF statistics
figures are now available the exports OF
iron and steel are nearly Sl6,0OO, O00
greater than in the corresponding months
OF the preceding year-a gain OF thirty-six
per cent. over the figures OF last year, and
of seventy per cent, over those OF the pre-
ceeding year.
In importations OF iron and steel there is
q reduction as compared with last year,
the falling Off for the eight months being
ten per cent. The corresponding period OF
last year showed a reduction of twenty
per cent.
An examination of the imports and ex-
ports of iron and steel and the nuf
lures thereof from 1880 to 1898 shows that
the imports are now but one-ffth as great
as they were In the year first named, while
the exports are five times greater. The
American manufacturers, besides occupy
ing four-ffths OF the field which foreign
establishments were supplying III lSsO,
have at the same time increased their ex-
poftations 400 per cent.

DR.. Waetzold thinks that the chic
roses and neuroses, from which so
many young girls suffer, may be large
ly attributed to the abuse of the piano,
1t is necessary, says the author, to
abandon the deadly habit OF compelling
young girls to hammer on the key
board before they are 10 or Is years
of age. Even at this age the exercise
should be permitted only to those who
are really talented and are possessed
of Il robust temperament. DR.. Waet-
zold shows that out of 1000 young
girls studying the piano before the age
of u years 600 were afflicted with ner-
vous troubles later, while the number
having affections OF this kind was only
200 for these who commenced the
study of the piano at a later age, and
only 100 were affected among those
who had never touched this instru.
ment. The study of the violin pro-
duces even more disastrous results
than those attributed to the piano

against the attempt OF the Torres Govern

General Torres has con6scated seventeen
large fruit plantations near Blueilelds on
the grounds that their owners took part In
the Reyes revolution or sympathized with
it. The seizures have caused the laborers
on these plantations to desert, which will
have the effect of cutting down the banana

Alcohol is an intellectual poison. Nor
could 1t be otherwise, tor the brain, which
is the seat of memory of thought, and OF
all the Intellectual faculties, Is affected by
alcohol, and by reason of the extreme
sensitiveness of Its tissue is ever partic-
ularly sensitive thereto. Hence it soon
becomes subject to change under the in
fuence Of liquor, and quickly deteriorates.
The power OF thinking is affected. the In
tellectual faculties are obscured, judgment
disappears and the final result is that many
alcoholic subjects develop madness.
For that matter, drunkenness itself-
that temporary poisoning-is really an
ephemeral madness which, by force OF
repetition, becomes converted into COM
plete madness. 1t is a statistical fact,
which shows at a glance how alcohol af-
fects the mind, that the increase OF mad
ness is in direct proportion to the con-
sumption Of Intoxicating liquors In the diff
ferent countries.
