crosses; now let's think about billion.
dollar commerce. In the year ending
March 81, 1903, the imports of the Uni
ted States reached a billion dolalrs.
That Is the first time imports ever
reached the billion mark. Uncle Sam
Is a good customer. 1t is fact that is
as good a peace guarantee as a fleet Of
warships. Countries that are selling US
thousand million dollars worth of
things to eat. drink, wear and use in a
single year would at least think twice
before affrOnting such a customer and
stranglng such market. The pros
porous way of doing bushes Is said to
be to sell more than you buy. The
United States is doing that, and feed
ending March 81 reached the stupen-
dous total Of $1,414, 7S6,95O, and cover
ed everything from steel bridges to dol
lar watches, breakfast foods to bottled
beer. This is a big country. Its own
people can scarcely comprehend the
greatness of the empire. Why, the
farms alone are worth three thousand
million dollars. We have billion-dol-
lar trust, billion-dollar crops, billion
dollar bank savings. We have Just
launched ship that will carry 10000
tons of freight, and more are building.
The mines Of the Northwest will give
up 35O0O,OOO tons of iron ore in sin
gle season. From Maine to California
big things are in progress. All this Ia
the wonder of the civilized world, and
when put into figures the totals simply
stun humanity. Big! Why, when you
can count all Of the stars and the grains
of sand on the seashore, you'll be able
to measure the glory and greatness of
America! We should pray for humil-
ity-power to bear our greatness with
honor and dignity. We should see to
it that morals, education, charity. civic
Righteousness. all the higher things of
life, keep pace with the mighty strides
Of commerce. For. unless they do, the
years Of our greatness are surely num-
bered.

Catarrh Causes Female Diseases.
America lie the land OF nervous
women. The great majority of nervous
women are so because they are suffer-
ing from some form of female disease.
By far the greatest number of female
troubles are caused directly by catarrh.
These women despair of recovery. Fe-
male trouble is 60 common, 20 preva-
lent, that they accept it as almost in
evitable. The greatest obstacle in the
way of recovery is that they do not
understand that it is catarrh which is
the source OF their illness.
In female complaint, ninety.rine
cases out of one hundred are nothing
but catarrh.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever To-
Gated.

The drawing room or parlor runs
the full length of the house, exclusive
of the vestibule. The windows have
iron bars outside and wooden blinds
inside. They need no glass windows
and have none, except occasionally
one OF the panels of the blinds may be
glass. The bedrooms and dining
room are on each side, of the patio, the
kitchen and servants quarters back.
This arrangement is sometimes varied
by having the dining room back and
second patio between that and the
kitchen and servants quarters.
The floors are OF cement, covered
with hardwood, but more oftener with
rugs or mating or oilcloth. Few
rooms are carpeted all over. Most of
the larger houses OF Venezuela have
water works and electric lights. Few
have sewerage and plumbing. Cara
cas- has plumbing and sewers from the
houses. but the creeks serve for the
general sewerage. Under ordinary
circumstances this would not be well
but the hills are at such angles that
the fall is two ways and the sewerage
is good. The sudden showers send
the water down the mountainside,
flushing the creeks so that Caracas
is one of the most healthy cities in
the world.
Generally speaking, the houses in
Venezuela have but one story and no
cellars. The best houses are con-
structed with two brick walls. one
foot and q half or two-foot space
filled with cement. Other houses have
walls OF cement or cement stone.
These walls are made by filling
wooden molds with cement until 1t
sufficiently hardens to hold its weight.
The molds are then removed and plac-
ed on top. refilled with cement, and
so on to completion.

He was anxious to Institute a reform

requested each mother to bring her lit

SHOULD be the church doll'' and which
the child should keep perfectly still

discouraging to hear that not one Eng
