FARM EXPORTS OF 1900.
Agricultural Department Issues Some
IN HI

interesting Figures
The foreign market section of the Agri-
cultural Department has compiled status
tics showing the distribution of the agrl-
cultural exports of the United States for
the years from 1896 to 1900. The re-
port shows that there were dozen coun-
tries in 1900 to each of which the United
States exported over $10,O00,000 worth
of domestic farm produce. The United
Kingdom purchased $40S,000OOO and
Germany S134, 100000 worth. The agri-
cultural exports to the United Kingdom
were the largest on record excepting
those of the extraordinary year of 1898,
when a value of $439, 100000 was attain
ed. In trade with Germany the exports
for 1900 were decidedly in excess of any
previously reported, and show an in
crease of nearly 100 per cent in the i've
years period.
Next in order to the above named
countries in 1900 were the following:
The Netherlands. So. 100000, these fig
ures being exceeded only in 1899 by less
than $1,000,000; France, $45,O0O,O00;
Belgium, $33,000,000, as against $751;
100000 in 1896 to France and $1S,O00,-
600 to Belgium during the same year;
Italy, $24,000,000; Canada, $21,OO0OOO;
Japan, over S15, 100000; Denmark, near
ly $15,0OO,000; Cuba, $14, 100000, as
against 100000 in 1896; Spain, &c.
100000, as against a trife less than
S10,000,000 in 1896; British Africa, $10,-
100000.
Exports ranging in value from So
515, 900 down went to more than a dozen
other different countries.
The total exports of domestic farm
produce to Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii,
and the Philippine Islands in 1900 had
an aggregate value of over $20,000,000,
as compared with only $6,200,000 in
1896.
South America was the only contingent
to which United States agricultural ex-
ports for the last FIVE years show a de-
cline-from ST., 236000 in 1896 to &c.
452, 900 in 1900. The most striking gain
was in our exports to Asia, rising from
So, 735. 900 in 1896 to nearly $23,00O,000
in 1900.
With the exception of the phenomenal
year 1898, when they reached $7G2 ,000,-
600, these figures are the largest on rec
ord. In 1896 they were $5O3, 100000.
To tn various North American countries
the exports in 1900 were $55,O00,000 in
1899 500, 100000. and in 1896 S44, 100000.
The ten principal items in our agricul-
tural export trade for 1900 were:

Now 1 understand why your mother
longed to see Olivia. She knew then
she has known for months that her days
are numbered. When she was in London
last November she saw the most skillful
physicians, and they all agreed that her
disease was incurable and fatal. Why
did she conceal it from you? All, Mar

mothers heart, before you can compre-
bend that. Your father knew, but no
one else.
"Do not come before you have answer

My mother had consulted DR.. Senior

He did not positively cut off all hope

her life, especially if her mind was kept

the necessity for my immediate return

Sends Bills to the Men.

There is man in an Eastern city
who does a large business in babies
dresses, and clothing for very young
children" writes Edrard Box, in the
Ladies' Home Journal. He makes
and sells nothing else. His trade is
almost entirely with women. Up to
within three years ago he would send
out TO his customers bills amounting to
as much as $4,000 In six months
time he would receive less than 5000
In return. Yet his customers all stood
Well and were considered women of
easy means. Then he deliberately
changed his method of rendering bills.
He went over his books and found that
he had some $4,000 worth of unpaid
accounts. He made out the bills, and
addressed them 10 the husbands or
fathers Of his customers, directing the
bills TO their offices. Within sixty DAYS
he had received $1,000 in checks. His
invariable rule now is to send all his
bills TO the husbands, fathers or the
male members of his customers fami-
lies, When no male member exists he
insists upon a cash transaction"

VICTORY FOR THE CAMERA
Invasion of the Turkish Harem bJ
the AII-Serkinr Lens.

Invasion OF the Turkish Harem by
the All-Seeking Lens.
The camera has won another vic
tory. 1t has invaded the Turkish
harem The queen of the harem, who,
according to contemporary artists,
spends her time reclining languid;y
upon gorgeous cushions, famed hy
picturesque slaves, will be shown in
her habits as she lives, and one more
Arabian Nights illusion will be shat
tered.
OF course, it is expressly forbidden
that the photographs of women shall
be circulated outside of the family, but
presumably feminine vanity iourishes
as well in Turkey as in any other coun-
try, and the chances that pictures will
not pass beyond the narem are hardly
worth the risk of a white chip.
The most famous photographer of
Constantinople is the only one to whom
the sultan has granted the privilege OF
photographing the Turkish women, and
it is safe to suppose that he is an OBJ

low-citiZens. The photographer is a
recent convert to Islam, and the sultan
may have decided to show him what
could be done in the line of hours by
way of clinching his zeal.
The amateur photography craze,
which is spreading in Turkish home
steads. opens possibilities more anus
ing than the favored professional does.
1t is said that the women, whose en-
forced seclusion makes them seize upon
any diversion with enthusiasm, have
taken to the pastime and are photo
graphing everything in sight.
One of the Turkish correspondents of
French paper tells an entertaining
bit of gossip in regard TO one Turkish
household which has been undergoing
most violent disturbances, all because
the other women saw their chance OF
getting back at the favorite of their
lord and master. They got snap shots
of her in her bad temperS and her I'M
becoming clothes, and part of the col
lection having CHANGED to fall into lie
hands of the vain beauty, there were
storms that rent happy home asunder
and made one naughty Turk wish he
had never been born.-Baltimore Sun.

1t Made Him Hot.

Free Shines for a year with every
pair of shoes, free lunches at every bar,
free soda water with every cigar, free
cake with every package of baking
powder-the development of the idea
proceeds. 1t costs some cigar dealers
from S15 to $50 a week to supply the
soda wafer. 1t costs about 10 cents a
gallon, and some stores require from
fifteen to twenty gallons a day. The

asked:

mo" retorted the dealer. 1--WE give
favors, but some men don't seem to
know how to take them"
But that was not the worst. Another
man came in, filed the glass three
quarters full, and then added it to some
whisky from pocket flask. The next
man shifted the whisky when he took
up the glass. Where do you keep the
whisky" he asked.
Now, that makes me hot" was the
dealers subsequent natural comment.

Beers AS HOMEsTEADERs.
Transvaa1 Republicans Go to Lawson,
O. T.. to Find Peace.

Three hundred and fifty Beers, despair
ing of retaining freedom in their native
land, treked into Lawson, o. r., and
registered for homesteads in the new
country being opened for settlement.
They arrived at New Orleans three
weeks ago and declared their intention
of becoming citizens. Those who are
unlucky in the drawing will buy of other
settlers, and a Transvaal in Oklahoma
will be the result.
Their head is Capt. Joubert, a nephew
of the famous fighting Piet. He speaks
English fuently. Relative to their inten-
lions he said: 1--WE came to Alabama on
an early transport that had made its
last trip to South Africa with mules.
Its captain was under no further oblIga-
ton to the British and we easily made
a deal with him. Only a few women
came with us. The rest will come as
soon as we locate. We believe our ma
tive country will be unable to wrest free
dom from England. If We succeed in Sc
curing good lands, thousands of others
who followed the fortunes of President
Kruger will also locate here. We have
received the kindest of treatment, and
know we will love our new land"

One Period During Which the People
Could Not Get Enough to Eat.
There is on record in the annals of the
State of New Jersey a season when
the people actually suffered for want Of
food. 1t was in the autumn of 1857.
when the failure of crops caused a
famine that prevailed all over the State
and afflicted the people of central and
southern New Jersey sorely. They
were driven to eating roots and nuts.
The Indians were disposed to be kindly
to the people and gave them much as
sistance and taught them how to make
the best of the natural resources Of the
country. They showed them how to

West SSrd ST., Minneapolis, Mimi, as fol-

ties and l never supposed that l would be

catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonicS are

remedies can be procured by the druggist

only be obtained at a uniform price, and no
druggist can get ii a cent cheaper.

substitute the cheap limitations of Peruna

The trial of Robert Stuart Fosburgh,

L. Fosburgh, last August, was begun
at Pittsfeld, Mass, Thursday. The ar
rest of Fosburgh caused a wave of ex
citement all over New England. The
members of the Fosburgh family con-
tended that robbers entered the house
and attacked Robert and his father and
that the young woman was killed by
bullet fired by a burglar.
The prosecution is based on the theory
that the shooting was the result of a Bit
ter family quarrel in which young Fos-
burgh, using his owp revolver, shot his
sister, although intending the bullet for
another member of the family. A jury
was secured within thirty minutes from
