Washington, December 24.-No fea-
ture OF the export trade Of the United
States in 1905 has shown larger
growth than the trade with China and
Japan, says a bulletin Issued by the
bureau OF statistics of the department
Of commerce and labor. IN the ten
months, ended with October, exports
to China aggregated more than $5o,-
100000 in value. against S20.OO0.o00 in
the same months OF 1904 and Sl3.ou.-
600 in the corresponding months OF
1903
Exports to Japan were SAG, 500. 900.
against little less than S22,0OO,OOo
for the same period in 1904, and S16.-
100000 in the corresponding months OF
1893 No other countries Of the world
TO which our exports are sent, show
gains approximating those Of China
and Japan. The growth in exports to
China from the United States is es-
pecially marked in copper, cotton
cloth, -four, sewing machines, loco
motives, paper, canned beef, manufac-
lures of tobacco and lumber, though
cotton cloth and copper are by far the
most important of these items. To
Japan the growth occurred. raw cot
carriages and other vehicles, raw cot
ton, electrical machinery, sewing ma
chimes, locomotives. leather, paper,
canned beef, tobacco and lumber.
Cotton cloth exports to China in the
ten months ending with October aggre-
gated in value $27 ,4O5,4 ,475, against $9,-
651, ,10I in the same months of 1904.
Copper exports to China are compar-
atively a new feature Of our trade
with that country, the amount in ten
months ending with October having
been $11 ,326,4 ,407 against SCI ,677 in the
same months of last year.
The copper used in making new cop
per coins. Flour is about the only i'm
portant article of export TO China,
showing any material reduction this
year, while manufactured tobacco
shows a material increase.
Cotton exports to Japan for the ten
months ended with October aggregated
in value $13, 800, against $2,716,5 500
last year. American cotton is popular
with the Japanese spinners because it
has long staple: but the cotton grown
in India and China, which has a
shorter staple, Is considerable less In
price and in the years of high prices of
cotton in the United States, japan
purchases little cotton in this country
but draws largely on India and China.

The Two Streams

sluggish, niggardly rivulet. in a wide.
rat. muddy bed: and every day the
tide came in and drowned out that
poor little stream and filled Il with
bitter brine. The other was a vigor-
Gus. joyful. brimming mountain-rive-
er fed from unfailing springs among
the hills: and all the time IL swept
the salt water back before IL and kept
itself pure and sweet: and when the
tide came In. IL only made the fresh
water rise higher and gather ne.y-
strength by the delay: and ever the
living stream poured forth into the
ocean its tribute of living water

keeps the ocean OF life from turning
