A Trade of Three Billions.

The New York Sun publishes a stag
Rering array of figures regarding our
foreign trade during the fiscal year
which has just closed. 1t Is hard for
the mind to grasp the significance of
figures when they get up in the bill
lions. but such tables help us in way
to some sort of realization Of the
growth and Importance Of our country
among the nations Of the earth. 1t APP
pears that American foreign trade for
the year barely milled the three billion
mark Imports were valued at $l.226,-
l5,379. about As per cent of which came
in free Of duty. About one-third of the
purcha ses consisted of raw materials.
and some Is per cent. was represented
by articles wholly or partially manu-
featured, for use as materials in the
manufactures and mechanic arts
Articles Of food not produced in this
country or not possible of product
ion here. such as tea, coffee and trop-
ical fruits, account for an important
percentage of the remainder. In the
total value of the yearly consumption,
the importation of articles which might
no nroduced at home is an almost in
significant item.
The export trade increases more rap
idly than the import trade. Ten years
ago imports were $779,724,674, the in
crease for the decade being a little more
than 81 per cent. Within the sans
time exports have doubled. The hg'
ures for 1896 are $3.50 COG. 1888, and fol
1906 they are s1.743. 763,6O2. Exports O
manufactured goods increase more

a little exceeded $1,000 900 in 1896 an

So many of the stories from the
packing establishments are of the kind
to cause nausea that it is a relief to
read of one harmless fake said to have
been practiced some years ago when
$4,000 jack rabbits from the prairies
were transformed into "boneless
turkey" in one of the Chicago packing
houses. Thousands Of rabbits were
killed by an unusually severe blizzard.
The farmers shipped the carcasses in
carload lots to Chicago, and this
particular packer conceived the bright
idea of buying them at cents pound
and their conversion into turkey at II
cents. 1t was a fraud, Of course, on
what the teller of the story calls the
innocent and gullible public, but it was
the turning of a dishonest penny in a
rather clever way which hurt nobody.
Jack rabbit meat is just as nutritious
as turkey. perhaps more so. If the
packers had never done anything
worse than to convert nice, clean jack
rabbits into homeless turkeys their
establishments would not have needed
such thorough housekeeping.

Country Lite.

Nountry Lire.
The pleasures of n country life
Appeal to us just now,
We want to roam the grass meads,
And watch the festive COW.
We want to climb the old stone wall,
And find shady nook,
Where We can loaf all afternoon
Beside the babbling brook.
But country life is not all joy.
AS you perhaps have learned.
The milk is often watery, and
The steak is often burned,
Mosquitoes buzz around your bed,
The flies are very thick,
They love to light on you for fun,
And, gracious, how they stick!
Yes. country life is badly mixed
With pleasures and with pains
Some days the sky is clear and blue,
And other days it rains.
But on the whole it seems most wise
To ruraEZe a space
Can anybody recommend
A good five-dOllar place?

overspeeding. The track was in good
condition. Nothing gave way on the
