The United States at the Head.

The United States now stands at the
head OF the worlds exporting nations.
The complete figures for the calendar
year 1900, when compared with those of
other nations, show that our exports of
domestic products are greater than those
OF any other country. The total exports
OF domestic merchandise from the
United States in the calendar year 1900
were 81, 453, O13, 659 those from the
United Kingdom, which has heretofore
led in the race for this distinction
We're Sl,41S, 34S, 600 and those from
Germany S1,0306l1, 600.
In 1875 the domestic exports of the
United States were S497, 263, 1871, those of
Germany $780,, 0960oO, those of France
$747, 1890 and those of the United
Kingdom $1,0S7, 497,0 900. Today the
United States stands at the head of the
list, the United Kingdom second, Ger
many third and France fourth, with the
figures as follows: United States,
81, 453, 013,659, United Kingdom S1,41S-
34S, 600, Germany $1,000, gil 200, France
$751;, 100000. All of these figures, it
should be remembered, relate to the ex-
ports of domestic products. Thus, in
the quarter century, the United States
has increased her exports from $497, 263,
1877 to 81, 453, 013,659 or 1872 per cent,
Germany from 1907, O96, 900 to 81, O5O, 81,

As to Belgian Hares.

Of course, there are others. We have
never felt sure that the Louisiana pos
sum has been cultivated to the extent
he really deserves. The South holds the
cup SO far as concerns 'possum, peanuts
and the genuine ''watermillion. We
are not yet sure that the Belgian hare
is in it with many of our special indus
tries. But there is no doubt as to the
latter's fur or philoprogenitiveness, and
we refrain from cynical suggestion. In
deed, we can tell our readers in perfect
good faith, that they can be sure of a
reasonable increase in the case of Bel
gian hares. A pair Of these earnest and
painstaking animals can be depended on
to multiply themselves by 40 in the first
year and to reach grand total of 1000
in the second. Arithmetic fails us in
estimating an experiment covering five
years, but in dim way we can see that
the owners ought to wear diamonds and
enjoy incomes of seven or eight figures
at that stage of the game. 1t isn't often

editorial columns into perihelion, but

like these?- Washington Post.

Doc, 700, 900 Spools for Thread.

At the present rate of the manufac
ture of spools and other articles, the i'm
mense white birch forests of Maine can
not last many years, says the New York
Sun. Although the birch forests are ex-
tensive, the fact that II spool mills and
large number of so-called novelty mills
are eating up the timber at the rate of
from IS, 900, 900 to 100000 feet annual
ly excites the apprehension Of foresters
and manufactures.
The spool mills use about 80, 600 cords,
or 100000 feet annually, turning out
s0o,000,000 spools, each large enough to
carry 200 yards of thread The amount
of thread that could be wound upon
these 800, 10000 spools would reach 5000
times around the world at the equator,
and leave little for mending. About
as much spool wood is sent to Europe
every year as is manufactured into
spools here in Maine. Last year Maine
exported about 100000 feet of spool
bars, chiefly to Scotland, and of this
quantity about one-half was shipped
from Bangor Several million feet of
spool bars are also shipped to other
parts of the United States, where there
are spool mills, notably to Rhode Island.

People are learning more and more to

this being made possible by the introduce
ton of such remedies as DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People.
The discovery of this remedy, and the
recognition of it's wonderful efficacy, marks
one of the most important pages in the
annals of medical science. First used as a
prescription by physician whose ideas had
advanced beyond the age in which he lived,
who believed the source of most diseases
could be traced directly to the blood and
nerves, and who had the courage OF his con-
convictions these pills soon became known
for their remarkable cures. So great was
the demand that it became necessary to pre-
pare them in such form that they could be
secured by any one without the prescrip-
ton, and taken without physicians dl-
rection. This act dates the beg inning of
the fame of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

recent cures the following are taken to prove
the assertions that are made for this won

Anyone who has suffered from either

SH lRTNESS OF BREATH.
Frequently One of the Unpleasant After
Effects Of the Grip
From the Bulletin, Precedence, r. l.

from me BUltettil. PFUL1ueHce, Il L.
1t has been noticed that ShortneSs of
breath is frequently one of the unpleasant
symptoms which attend the after-effects of
the grip and DIS this indicates an alarming
poverty of the blood, prompt treatment can
not be too strongly urged when it becomes
apparent.
The case of Mrs. William Adams, of Is
Putnam Street, Providence, r. l., is recent
example of a method of treatment that has
proved most highly etficacious in cases of
this nature. Mrs. Adams, when interview
ed concerning her experience, said:
SIN 1896 | was taken with the grip and
was confined to my bed eight long weeks.
When the disease had run its course it left
me SO Frustrated that could not help my
self in the least. | was troubled greatly
with shortness of breath which would be
brought on by the slightest exercise or by
dampness in the air. l had no appetite and
was unable to keep anything but the lighteSt
food on my stomach.
81 did not seem to be getting any better
and so changed my doctor, but still received
no benefit from the treatment. | tried in
vain many kinds of medicine that l saw ad-
vertised. Meanwhile my condition became
almost unbearable. One day l saw an ad-
vertisement of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and made up my mind to give
them trial. l can honestly say that l no.
ticed an improvement from the first and had
taken but two or three boxes when my ap-
petite returned and felt very much strong
er. AS had almost despaired of ever get
ting well | was much encouraged and con
tinued taking the pills. In few days the
shortness of breath became less frequent
and was soon as well as ever.

pie and l earnestly recommend them to any
one suffering from the after effects of the
