OUR AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS.
Some New and Interesting Figures Compiled
by Foreign Markets Divisions Chief.

Washington. Jan. 14.-Mr. Frank ii.
Hitchcock, chief of the foreign mar
ketS division of the agricultural de-
partment, has prepared an interesting
cola ton of figures showing for the
first time the respective amounts of
our agricultural exports which go 10
the several countries Of Europe and
for other countries. The period cover
ed is 1894 to 1898. The statement shows
that the agricultural products export
ed from the United States during the
five years had an average value Of
1868. $50. POI.
OF these enormous exports about GO
per cent found market in the United
Kingdom ana it's various dependencies,
The sum paid by the British people
for the American farm produce, pur-
chased during the period mentioned,
reached as high as S403 953.S54 a year.
Great Britain alone took more than
one-half of all of our agricultural eX-
ports. the consignments credited II
that country forming about 50 per cent.
of the total shipments and having an
average value of $780,, 400. 10l.
Germany, which ranks to the United

of American agriculture, received

ST. MARY'S BAD WRECK.
Steamers Name Still Unknown-Ten Bodies
On Rocks More Floating About.

st. Johns. y. f.. Jan. 1.-THE gale
has not yet blown itself out and the
sea is still too rough to allow boats to
get near the wreck i'll st. Mary's Bay.

Plans have been made for recovering

weather permits ana IL may then b.
possible to get at the name Of the
steamer from pieces Of boats Wed&ed
in the clefts Of the rocks.
The Roman catholic priest Of the dis

hood. today. was given by villag"r z
photograph which had been washed
ashore, apparently from the wreck.
This represents n seaman wearing a
cap upon which are the letters IS. NJ.

The priest was also told that the
ship had slipped off the rocks into deep
water and had disappeared, except the
top of one mast and that a gurnsey
with the letters s. NJ. $. had also been
picked up near the wreck.
1t appears that the ships funnel was
banded red. white and black with 4
white diamond. This funnel could not
be that of the Fake as she. being a
North German Lloyd liner, would have
a yellow funnel. II is also thought that

female diseases quickly cures nervous

COST OF FUR RUGS
some That Are Very Expensive and
Extremely Dimcult TO
Obtain.

Fur rugs are expensive luxuries. The
orders for perfect lion skins are some
times very hard to fill, but the very
highest of prices are paid for these
rugs with the beautiful heads attached.
An order for a fine Lichtenstein Har-
tehssti, or African deer head, may take
year to fill. Special prices are charged
on such an order, as the remainder Of
the animal is rendered useless even for
museum collections, and $3.50 to 500 is
not an unusual price.
Rug skins without the heads do not
bring one-quarter the price of those
with the heads attached. The mostper-

PENALTIES IN KIMBERLEY.
Imposed Upon Thieves and Other
Criminals Who Violate
the Laws.

Kimberley proper is built around a
hole big enough to hold the entire white
population of South Africa. This is the
excavation above the Kimberley mine,
made when diamonds were mined from
the surface. Nowadays shafts are sunk
and levels formed, whence the blue
ground is blasted out and hauled to
the surface in elevators. The diamond
is different from other precious stones
in that it is found in soft clay, while
the amethyst, ruby and emerald are inn
bedded in quartz. This makes the dia-
mond easy to conceal in the mouth, nose
and by swallowing, and every year the
De Beers company gets from the work.
men $2,00O,0O0 worth of stolen goods.
The inclination to pilfer these precious
stones is so intense that the crime is
severely punished. In South Africa the
first commandment is: Thou shalt
not steal diamonds" What rape is to

man may get ten years; for having a
diamond found on his person that is not
registered, 20 years. At Cape Town is
great convict station called the
'.Breakwater," where sons of prominent
American families and English aristo-
Gratis join in lockstep with Lascars and
Kafirs. They have all violated the
first compartment. In Kimberley
1000 negro convicts sort the diamonds
under the muzzle of martini rifles. They
are kept in a separate place. The other
black boys live in five-acre inclosure
known as the Compound"
The De Beers company controls the
diamond market of the world. OF the
five mines, Kimberley, De Beers, Du
Torts, Pan, Bullfontein and Premier,
the first two are situated in Kimberley
and are the only ones worked now. The
diamonds produced in other parts of
the world would not supply the city of
Philadelphia. The value of the South
African product thus far has been $780,
100000. The supply seems inexhaust-
ible.
