EXPORT RECORD
Continued From Page 1

bushels in the corresponding months of last year.
 The fact that the grand total of ex- ports for the twelve months ending with October, 1904, exceeds in value that of any corresponding twelve months in the history of the export trade, is thus rendered especially re- markable in view of the great reduc- ton in exports of breadstuffs above mentioned. The figures of the twelve months ending with October 1904, show an increase over those of the corresponding period of 1893 amount ing to over 600 million dollars, while the import figures for the correspond ing period show an increase of a little less than 200 millions. The export fig ures for the twelve months ending with October, 1904. show an increase of 70 per cent, and the import figures for that year an increase of g per cent over the figures for the corresponding months ending with October, 1893.

 But here is word of caution Do not use imitation furs. Or, if you do use them let them be frankly imitation. SeI plush is lovely as plush, but not as seal, and there are imitation furs that are handsome in their own condition, but which become hopeless when you at tempt to call them sable, or chiHchIlla or otter Wear them as limitations, but not as the real

HE AMERIcAN HUSBAND.
His One Great Fault Is Absorption
 in Business.


 An extraordinary reason for separa- ton from her husband was that given by a Colorado woman in applying to the courts. It was that her husband, by his unvaryirg obedience, made life too mOnotOnous for her. While the statement is doubtless subject to some discount on the score of the reporters imagination. it recalls the familiar criticism of foreigners that the aver age American husband is too good" to his wife. Tn English households St. PauPs sterling words on the subject are still quoaed with approval. and the elimination of obey from the mar riage service has not even been sug- gested- There is a saving abroad that. to tell The nationality Of a couple, one has only to observe them entering a hotel dining room. If the man pre- cedes the woman, they are English; if the woman precedes the nan, they are French; but if they walk side by side they are American. The saying aptly illustrates the truth tEist nowhere Is there greater equality than in this co1ntry. Individual tyrants, bo.h mas culine and feminine, there may be. but on the whole, men and women have come to an understanding that each has a particular work to d. and is not subject as a sex, to the authority of the other.
 If, as a type, the American husband possesses one fault more conspicuous than another, it Is his tendency to be- come absorbed in business to the ex- clusion of his domestbc fife. A busi- ness man in one of George Ade's fla bles says that he provides the cash while the wife provides culture enough for two" Il is a tendency which should be combaised. The Am erican husband is made for better 1 things. That he is good" to his wife We admit. But, in the highest sense is he good" to himseIf?- House. keepe-.

UNNECESSARY ORNAMENTS.
The Artistic Home Has No Useless
 Junk Lying Around.


 Remember that the law of the uni verse is that nothing is obtained for nothing. Cheap things are usually bad things. If one is expert. very diligent, very keen. one may pick up bargains; antiques well made and once far from cheap, reproductions as good as the originals, adaptations Ike old ginger jars or snuff jars for lamps and vases but this calls for expenditure, ex- penditure of time, of brains, or of skill, if not of money.
 It is safe to say that in all homes of ordinary size, if the necessary objects are well selected, of proper size, and attractive design and color, no other ornaments are needed. In most houses the addition to these necessary ar ticles, of others not necessary, is a dis tinct disadvantage.
 Where an object has no possible use, 1t must be perfect artistically to jus tify it's being. How many of us can afford to have about us, on our man tels and in our cabinets. such crea- tions. Tte collector buys jar because it's peachblow colo- is the rarest in the world, because the decoration needs a miscroscope to bring it out He buys an ivory for the minuteness of the carvings, a snuffboX for the gorgeous may or rare eutilIetS, all tiiis IS IlBliL enough, but why should we spend our money for frivolous limitations, which will not bear close scrutiny and which merely clutter our houses? 4 few years ago the mantels were mass Of cubbyholes and baby shelves. On each of these one was supposed to stand a
 little jar or other piece of bric-a-brac. ! Knicknacks, indeed, objects of small 1 value. Most of our houses are too full, ! even if all the objects are really : rvnrfhN
