lends especial interest to some tables
prepared by the treasury bureau of sta
tistics. showing the commerce of the
United States with Germany. the value
of exports OF breadstuffs and provisions
to that country in each year during the
past decade, and the principal articles
entered into the commerce between the
two countries. In breadstuffs the chief
exports from the United States to Ger
many are. Of course. corn. wheat. and
wheat flour. The value Of the corn ex-
ports to Germany during the last de-
cade have ranged from 50, 1914, 600 in 1898
to 81 305, 229 in 1901, the 1902 exports
being small because Of the shortage in
last years corn production. Wheat ex-
ports ranged from 50, 569 GOO in 1893 to

GROWTH OF LIQUOR INDUSTRY

Regardless Of high revenue duties and
the untiring work of the temperance
agitators. the increase in the production
of whisky and beer in the United States
appears to keep about abreast of the
growth in population. The last annual
report of the internal revenue depart
ment says:
The total production of distilled
spirits, exclusive of fruit brandies. for
the fiscal year was lbs, 623, 4O1.9 taxa bic
gallons against 124, $50, 500 taxable gal
Ions in 1901, showing an increase in pro
duction for the fiscal year just ended of
4,102. S029 gallons. There were also pro-
duced 449.729 gallons of apple brandy.
152494 gallons of peach brandy. 3.570197
gallons of grape brandy S,662 gallons of
pear brandy. 99S gallons of apricot
brandy, sos gallons of berry brandy. 36.-
52s gallons of prune brandy, 1896 gal
Ions Of fig brandy. and As gallons oe
cherry brandy. making a total produc-
ton Of 4,220,400 gallons from fruits dur
ing the fiscal year.
A further comparison Of the two fiscal
years shows a decrease of 1929 gallons
in production of apple brandy. an in
crease of 2s795 gallons in peach brandy.

LIQUID FUEL FOR SHIPS.
Oil to Be More Generally Employed in
Steam Making.

From the New York Herald.
The successful trials made with liquid
fuel indicate the probability of it's more
general employment at home and abroad.
Lately a British steamer covered a voyage
of twelve thousand miles on eight hundred
tons of this fuel, and our Navy Depart
ment, after laborious experiments, has or.
dered its use in certain proportion of tor
pedo craft, with a prospective extension
through auxiliary types to cruising ships
of war. 1t Is indeed, not hazardous to
prophesy the installation in battle ships OF
boilers fitted for the use of both liquid and
solid fuel.
Various sufficient reasons Justify this sub
stitution and association. While, bulk for
bulk liquid fuel is demonstrably more efti-
cient than COAL its superiority does not
rest altogether this higher evaporattye
power. It's employment reduces by three
quarters the fire room force needed with
solid fuel and the saving in wages rationS
and risk Is correspondingy great. -. 1t i3
put on board more easily, and thus obviates
the discomfort, damages and detentions OF
"coaling Ship 1t may be pumped into re-
mote places where coal cannot be stored.
and, ton for ton, requires less cubic feet Of
space. All this means greater cargo room
in merchant vessels. more extended radius
of action on ships of war and equal safety
and less cost in both. .- So
Although it's economic progress has been
retarded by the inertness or fear of Eng
land which is a coal and not an oil-produc-
ing territory. it's value is too great to pre-
vent its extended use by countries where
oil is found where fuel has to be I'M
ported. AT most ports of the world it is
less expensive than coal or articfcial fuels,
and now that the engineering and struc-
tural difficulties of it's safe and economic
employment are largely Surmounted great
increase in the number of ships fitted to
burn both coal and oil may be expected.

An Indians Diary.
From Harper's Weekly.


A teacher at the Hampton school in Vir-
GINA tells Of Cherokee boy, a student at
the school, who recently died, and among
whose papers was found one which was
written My reasons for coming to Hamp-
tom First, to develop all my powers; sec
ond, to help my people; third, to learn the
idea of self-control."
Likely enough there was in this tincture
of boyish sentimentalism, or a touch of that
eeotism which leads to the outpouring OF
crude inteusitieS on the pages of diaries.
Vet a how would be better SO than dull and
soggy-and a good deal better so when he
has thought deeply enough to elevate the
idea of learning self-mastery as one of the
imnortant purposes of his school life. It
occurs to us that this young Indian sug-
sests the desirability Of department OF
self-control in all our institutions of learn
ing. Putting his ideal in contrast with the
deplorable exhibitions of lack of self-con-
troll made by some of the men who are
among the most conspicuous-generals and
statesmen and captains of industry, for ex-
ample-the necessity of adding exercise in
self-control to the curricula imposed upon
American youth becomes obviously desira-
BILE. If sundry eminent citizens Of this
country had enjoyed such training, how
much happier life would have been for
them, and how much less disconcerting for
some Of the rest of us! Seriously, the In
dian boy in his aspiration for himself set q
fine example for the masterful Anglo-Saxon.

USE OF FALSE TEETH.
Two Millions Manufactured Annually
in the United States.

From the New York Times.
Probably not less than two millions OF
artificial teeth are manufactured in this
country each year, and still the output goes
on increasing Never before was such great
care manifested for teeth as has been eX-
hibited during the past five years. In this
respect Americans lead the world, not even
the fastidious French exceling the people OF
the United States in their solicitude for the
preservation of natural teeth and in their
application of the arts of dental science
when substitutes have to be provided for
natures molars.
Englshmen are VIGOROUSLY careless about
their teeth, although in late years great
progress has been made in this matter.
A prominent dentist of New York declares
that nearly every patient with mouthfnl
of decayed teeth is foreigner. They let
things drift" he says land come only when
pain drives them here. Americans, and
especially southerners, hasten to their dem
fist Immediately they detect even the
slightest signs of coming trouble, and the
result is that there are by far more saved
teeth in this country than in any other.
Englshmen and Irishmen are remarkably
apathetic about their molars,, and will go
about for years with hopelessly decayed
teeth" r-f-
