COTTON IS STILL KING.
Record of Exports Likely to Exceed
That of ANY Year,

Cotton is still king in the export records
of the United States, and its record in the
present year is likely to surpass that of any
preceding year. The value of raw cotton
exported in the eleven months ending with
May is according to the preliminary fig
ures of the treasury bureau of statistics,
sos 147 ,005, which is 1--WE million dollars in
excess of the highest eleven months rec
ord ever heretofore made. The highest
eleven months figures recorded by this
preliminary statement in earlier years were
for the eleven months ending with May
1901, when the total stood at S303 497 81 7.
Should the June figures equal those of June
In the Immediately preceding years the to-
tai for the fiscal year would be s317 900, 900,
or $4,U0.oO0 in excess of the banner year
1901
The quantity exported this year is not so
great as that of the years 1898 and 1899.
but owing to the higher prices received the
value Is very much greater than that of
those years, and, as already indicated
larger than that of the corresponding
months of any preceding year. The total
quantity exported in the eleven months
ending with May, according to the prelimi-
nary statement, is 34S1, 500 2S7 pounds.
against 3,20S, e21, AIS pounds in the CORE
spending months of 1901 when the value
was but $4,000 900 less than at the present
time, and 1921, 310O09 pounds in eleven
months of 1893, when the value was but
500, Ala $50.
Thus the total quantity at the present
time is 24,o0O,Oo0 pounds less than that
of the corresponding eleven months of 1898
but the value is sS60o0.O00 in excess
of the value for the corresponding pc
riod of that year The average price per
pound of the cotton exported, determined
by dividing the number of pounds into the
value stated by the bureau of statistics
records, is, for the eleven months ending
with May. 1903. SS7 -ents. and for the
eleven months ending with May. 1885, 597

Will Consider the Suggestions.

Il will consider most carefully the sug-
gestions that you have submitted to me,
and whether the now existing conditions
are such that any further official expression
would be of advantage to the unfortunate
survivors with whom we sympathize so
deeply. Nothing that has occurred recently
has had my more constant thought, and
nothing will have my more constant thought
than this subject. In any proper way by
which beneficial action may be taken It will
be taken, to show the sincerity of the his
toric American position of treating each
man on his merits as a man, without the
least reference to his creed, his race, or his
birthplace" (Applause)

General Payne went over the statement
made public with the President, and it was

A Japanese Hygienic Bath.

In hygienic matters the Japanese
have everywhere a habit which may
have a lesson for us. In their nightly
bath and morning wash the water is
never cold, never warm, but always as
hot as it can be borne. To foreigners
this habit seems very surprising, but
the most inveterate Englishman, if he
stays in the country long enough, aban-
dons his cold tub in its favor.
The cold taking which, it is suspect
ed, must follow it is not found to occur
if the water has been hot enough. This
heat is maintained by little furnace
beneath the bath. In the bath the
bather or bathers take a prolonged
soaking, the washing proper being done
on the bathroom floor; then follow a
second and final soaking drying with
towel and Il lounge in bathing wrapper.
This habit seems to promote softness
and suppleness of the skin and by per-
sons inclined to rheumatism is soon
found to be altogether preferable to
the cold bath in every particular. The
poorest of the Japanese hear of Il cold
bath with am-Zcmcnt and would be
sure the man Y 20 used it must be a
barbarian

After all, Hank did what he started

all his neighbors in bunch, though
not exactly according to schedule. For

looked like a reunion of the pilgrim
fathers. The judge fined Hank on six
teen counts and bound him over to
keep the peace for hundred years.
That afternoon he left for the west on

get there quick enough. But before GO

woman who had married n drunkard
and who had just been deserted, though
she was penniless and had two little
children.

An Actual Case Described.

Charles Bschoff was afflicted with
boils till he reminded his friends of
the Bible story about job. Finally
some one persuaded him to take
DR.. Greene's Nervura, and he was
cured.
Then he wrote to DR.. Greene as
follows:
''My Dear DIR. Greene:

diseases for the last ten years. had a num-
Der of boils breaking out on my neck all the
time, and tried all kinds of remedies and

The above letter is genuine. Any
one interested may see the original at
DIR. Greene's office, "a Temple Place,
Boston.
The bois resulted from impure
blood. Mr.. Bischoff was cured of boils
because DR.. Greene's Nervura purified
the blood.

Under the microscope a drop of
blood tells a wonderful story. The
first thing the microscope tells us is
that all blood is not alike. Take a
drop of blood from your arm, another
from a cat and another drop from a
chicken, and the microscopic can dis
tinguish them as easily as though you
had given him bunch of feathers, a
tuft of fur and lock of your hair.
The man with the microscope can
tell the different kinds of blood by
noticing the size and shape of the
blood corpuscles. These corpuscles

Pure, Rich Blood Means Health.

If pure, rich blood means health,
how important is it that the blood
should be restored and kept in that
condition. DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy will do this. If
your brain is exhausted, if you suffer
from insomnia and nervousness, if you
have boils or unsightly pimples and
eruptions on your face, it is because
your blood is impure. No amount of
cosmetics or outside applications will
do you permanent good. You must
remove the cause - that is impure
blood Strengthen, enrich and purify
the blood with DR.. Greene's Nervura
and these symptoms that cause you
so much trouble and uneasiness will
disappear.

ends, appear upon the sleeves, which
are very full below the elbow, and
there is an inner vest of iSory-m hite
guipure, the effect of which is particu-
larry dainty.
trimming Of deep silk fringe in
iYory-white adorns another blouse OF
which a sketch is given, the fringe be-
ing arranged so that it has the effect
of Il berthe. The blouse, in this case,
is made in ivory-white crepe de chine,
with narrow shell tucks across the
front below the fringe, and soft tie
of gray-green silk draped in and out
round the neck. and then drawn, Gown
the front, where it is finally finished
with silk cord ornaments. Above the
fringe there are applique motifs and
medallions forming "a kind of she'll

while on the collar, and again at the
wrist, there are rou:.aux in green-gray
silk, and strapp:ngs of white crepe de

Quite the lattet and smartost thing
in the way of blouse-coatee may be
seen in another sketch, carried out in
black chiffon, and known as the "Cc-

number of verr deep tucks back and
front, the gracefully hanging sleeves
being also tucked horizontally from
the shoulder doWnwards. The trim.
ming of this very smart little garment
consists of wide bands of black velvet
ribbon, connected with hairpn stitch
ing, and finished with very pretty drop

\ charming blouse of white crepe
de chine forms the subject of our

closely gathered in very effective

sleeve there is a band of ecru lace APP

collar-band and yoke, composed Of al

an openwork effect of transparency
which is very pretty, while below the

tone of the tulle, while wide straps
of velvet ribbon. in dark crimson and

and finished with bow en- one side.
A charming toque ofxoft white tulle
