The bureau Of statistics has Just
published these significant figures:
Our exports of agricultural products
during 1893 amounted to 1867, 0O0, 900,
a gain Of $40, 000, 900 over 1897. Our
exports Of manufactured goods during
1898 were sos 10000 or $4,000, 900
more than In 1897.
Thus while the American farmer
continues to feed the world, American
machinery and the American men be-
hind the machines are pushing the
product Of their industry into the very
markets from which we have in the
past drawn the better part Of our own
supplies Of manufactured goods.

which causes him to play hide-and-
seek. and IL this fails and he is con-
fronted. the author is generally found
TO be much better listener than talk
er. His home in Atlanta is on the out
skirts of the town, and although Q
daily contributor to the Atlanta Con-
stitution. he works entirely at home
and sees very little of society.
Although Atlanta is visited in the
course of the year by nearly all Of the
theatrical companies, he has never
been known to go to the theater to see
one. the only time that he will come
out of his shell being when James
Whitcomb Riley gives one Of his read
ings.
This happened about six years ago,
and then there was no more delighted
appreciation in the house than 'Uncle
Remus." For the next five years, how
ever. he carefully avoided the theater.
When. about a year ago, the Hoosier
poet made another tour of the south,
Frank L. Stanton asked Mr.. Harris to
accompany him that night to the read
ing. When the poet called early in
the evening to make sure that "Uncle
Remus" would be ready in time, tho
latter was already prepared and was
beginning to worry.

Bishop Williams.

Many anecdotes We're told Of Bishop
Williams, of Connecticut, after his
death, for the good bishop was as well
known for MS love Of fun as for his
earnest piety.
At meeting of the bishops, meas
ure was proposed and explained by
its originator, but with such incoher-
ence that nobody understood 1t. A
second speaker essayed to make the
matter clear, but only darkened it.
When he had finished Bishop Benja-
min Smith, of Kentucky, tried to ex-
plain the question and also the expla-
nations. Feeling that he had failed,
he said
"Bishop Williams smiles. What has
he to say about itT"
"Only this" said the old bishop,
''that the mess of Benjamin was
found to be greater than the mess Of
any of his brethren"
1.-THE humor of Doctor Williams"
says a friend, was always present
and ready like the flash Of sunlight. It
had one popularity, it never scorched
nor left a scar behind"
At an assemblage Of noted men q
year or two ago, a lawyer who con-
ducts the legal business Of a great rail-
way system tried to guy the parson"
by malicious quizzing. At last he
said, why don't you get these rail-
way managers to give you pass over
their roads, bishop? You can pay for
It by giving them entrance books into
heaven"
"Oh no." gently replied the bishop,
II would not part them so far from
their counsel in the other world"
The laugh was general, and the law
yer concluded to "let the parson alone"

TO REMOVE UGLY STAINS.
ny Following These Instructions the
Thing May BE Easily Ac-
complained.

Keen grass stains wet with alcohol
for half an hour by pouring onla very
little at time before attempting to
wash them out. They are harder to get
ride than ink stains, and once through
the wash, or half cleaned, are indellib.e.
After soaking with the alcohol, wash
them very quickly, using soft tepid wa
ter, white soap and small stiff-bristled
brush. First wet the brush and rub 1t
back and forth with sort Of scooping
motion, then rinse the bristles well,
and rub on little soap. Brush hard
for minute, then turn the stain wrong
side up and brush, using clear water
plentifully, but keeping the stain
pressed down in the folded cloth, so the
water will not spread, says the Wash
ington Star.
When wine or ink is spilled, never
try to sop up with.a dry cloth; use
one wrung out hard instead. A dry
cloth will smear and spread it, the wet
one soak It up. Boiling water poured
through takes fresh ink stains out of
cloth. From paper they are best dis
solved with alcohol laying the stained
leaf over many thicknesses of blotting
paper. Alcohol further takes ink stains
of the fingers, also berry stains and
