ODDITIES OF EXPORTING

We send Dakota seed to Russia from
which she raises wheat to compete
with our own product in the markets
of the world. TO plant, cultivate, reap
and harvest her crops, we send to Rus
STA nearly one-half our total exports of
agricultural machinery. This year we
have already shipped some $4,000 tons
of these implements 10 the land Of the
Gar. In former years all this passed
through the ports of New York and
Philadelphia, but fractional increase
in freight rates between the lakes and
the east has diverted the trade to south
ern ports, while experiments are being
made in direct shipments from Chicago
by way of the lakes, the st. Lawrence
river and the Atlantic ocean.
The cotton plant first came to Amer
lea from Asia; now the greater part of
the Central-Asian crop is grown from
American cotton seed, American cul-
tivators till the soil, which is watered
by an American irrigation system.
Yankee gins clean the fibre, American
compounds press the cotton into bales
wrapped with American bands, and
finally the cotton finds its way to Mos
cow over a railroad built with Ameri-
can capital, and is turned into cloth by
secondhand machinery from an Amer
lean cotton factory, to compete abroad
with American prints.
Another regular article of export to
Central Asia is the Ohio grapevine cut
ting. The vineyards Of Central Asia
are all ofishoots from American vines
and the fruit is priced above all others
in Russia proper for its delcacy and
flavor. Twenty to thirty tons of Amer
lean grapes TO the acre is common
yield III Central Asia, and as the Amer
lean vine is free from parasites, it is be-
ing introduced everywhere the world
over, from South Africa to Northern
China and Japan. We still export to-
bacco plants to Russian Asia, so that
the Russian tobacco, grape cotton and
wheat crops are all American, once re-

No Oriental fable is stranger than

lamps find ready sale in New York,
the enterprising drummer who intro

was well repaid for his trouble. Now,
however, American lamps are becoming

supply of old lamps is rapidly giving
out, as our lamp trade with Turkey in

HE WORKED THE BANKER,
How a Clever Merchant Killed Two
Birds With One stone

Recently wealthy merchant in Par
Is who does an extensive business with
Japan was informed that prominent
firm in Yokohama had failed, but the
name Of the firm he could not learn,
though he was most anxious to ascer-
tain whether it was the one with which
he did most of his business in that city.
He could have learned the truth by
cabling, but instead he went to the
man, well known banker, who had
received the news and requested him
to reveal the name of the firm to him.
That's very delicate thing to do"
replied the banker, for the news is
not official. and IL gave you the name
l might incur some responsibility"
The merchant argued, but in vain,
and finally he made this proposition:
II will give you" he said, "a list of
ten firms in Yokohama, and will ask
you to look through it and then to tell
me, without mentioning any name,
whether or not the name of the firm
which has failed appears in it. Surely
you will do that for me2"
YES" said the banker. "for IL I do
not mention any name l cannot be held
responsible In any way"
The hist was made, The banker
looked through it and as he handed II
back to the merchant said, THE name
Of the firm which has failed is there"
'Then I've lost heavily" replied the
merchant, ''for that is the firm with
which l did business" showing him a
name on the list.
But how do you know that is the
firm which has failedT asked the
banker In surprise.
VERY easily" replied tbs merchant.

1t is characteristic of almost all the
prisoners except the DRINKS that their
chief concern is to secure delay. They
plead and beg for an adjournment,
which they know will only postpone
the inevitable for day or two and
that although, through their inability
to obtain bail, they will have to stay in
prison just the same. The most plausi-
BILE explanation is that they all are
fatalists, always hoping that something
unexpected may turn up to stave off
the impending catastrophe. The
DRINKS, on the other hand, are more
eager to face the arbitcr of their fates,
knowing that nothing worse than fine
is likely to befall them and that the
SOONER it is imposed the sooner it may
be paid or served off. And then there
is the chance, If the magistrate is in
