GREAT TRADE RECORD.
Commerce Gained oven
SIOO,OOO,OOO in 1905.

sIOO,OOO,OOO in 1905.
The foreign commerce of the Unitec
States approached surprisingly near tt
the $4,000, 100000 point in the calendar
year 1905, according to a report ISSUED
by the bureau of statistics, Department
of Commerce and Labor.
THE total imports and exports of mer
cbandise," the report says. lis S2,So6,oOo,
600, against S2,307, 100000 in 1900, ar
average increase of $100,O0O,OOO year
IF to the S2,SO6,000,O00 of foreign
commerce in 1905 were added the figures
of trade with Hawaii and Porto Rico
formerly foreign territory and included
in our statements of foreign trade prior
to 1901. the total would approximate
50 900. 600 900. or about S6O0,OOO,OOC
more than FIVE years ago.
another notable characteristic of the
wears foreign trade is the fact that the
exports in December were practically
5000, 900, 900, the largest months exporta'
ton in any year prior to that time be
ing that of December. 1904, when the
total was S1T4,S19,566.
.sIhe import record for 1905 is also
in excess of that of any preceding year
being for the twelve months ended with
December 81. 179, BIS, SAG, against S1,035,.
9O9. 100 in 1904. The growth of imports,
while not rapid, has been steady and
continues to be so, keeping pace, approx
mately, with the growth of population.
THE commerce with the non-contigu'
Gus territory of the United States also
makes a new high record for 1903. II
will amount to about S13O,OOO.Oe0 in

THE FIRST MONEY.
Il Is Credited to the Lydians of Asia
Minor.

II Ts Credited to the Lydians of Asia
Minor.
1t is difficult to realize that prior to
B.. G. 700 there were no true coins, that
ingots or buttons of gold and silver
were weighed at every mercantile
transaction. The Lydians of Asia MI
nor are credited with having been the
first to cast and stamp with an official
device small oval gold ingots Of def
mite fixed weight, an invention strange
~ delayed, but Of inestimable impor-
n to industry and commerce. A
coin has been described as "a piece of
metal Of fixed weight, stamped by au-
thority Of government and employed
as a medium Of exchange" Medals,
though struck by authority, are only
historical records and have no currency
value.
The bright, far flashing intellect of
Greece saw the import of the Lydian
invention and adopted 1t quickly, and
every Greek state, nearly every city,
island and colony, established a mint,
generally at some n of the great tenn
pies, for all early coin types are reli-
g1ous in character. They bear symbols
OF some god as a pledge of good faith.
h offerings, tithes and rents Of the
worshipers were coined and circulated
as money. Temples thus became both
minis and banks. Our word money
Is said to have been derived from the
Roman shrine of Juno, Moneta, the
earliest Latin mint.
The first shape of these early coins
was that of an enlarged coffee berry,
punched on the rounded side with off,
cial letters or sinkings, as they are
called.

SOURCE OF SHELLAC.
The East India Insects That Produce
the Aesinous Substance.

The East India Insects That Produce
the Aesinous Substance.
India is the home of the Coccus lac
ca, the insects that produce the resin
Gus substance known as shellac. The
females puncture the twigs of several
different kinds of trees, among them
the DO, the bihar and the butea, and the
twigs become incrusted with a hard,
nearly transparent, reddish, ~reslnous
substance that serves the double pur-
pose of protecting the eggs and finally
furnishing food for the young insects.
The l~ncrusted twigs are broken from
the trees before the young insects es-
cape and are thoroughly dried In the
sur. These dried twigs are called
"stick-lac," and from them shellac and
q dye analogous to cochineal are pre-
pared. "Seed-lac' Is the resinous con-
erection separated from the twigs,
coarsely pounded and triturated with
water In a mortar, by which nearly all
Of the color1ng matter is removed.
To prepare shellac the seed-lac Is put
into oblong cotton cloth bags and
warmed over a charcoal fire. When the
rosin begins to melt the bags are twist
ed, and the pure, clear rosln is allowed
to flow owe fig wood planks or the
smooth stems of the banyan tree and
cools in the thin plates Or shells which
constitute shellac.
Pure shellac is very valuable. 1t is
much harder than colophony and Is
easily soluble In alcohol.

1.-THE SONG OF THE SHIRT
Il Proved the Most Popular Thing
Hood Ever Wrote.

hOOu ever wrote.
During his last illness Tom Hood In
an idle moment made an imaginative
sketch of his own tombstone. He drew
himself reclining at full length ON a
thick slab of stone, on the edge of
which In large capitals he wrote, HE
Sang the Song Of the Shirt" This
was the only inscription, and, as he
himself has said, Tom Hood needs no
other.
How much he felt and prided him
self upon the song by which he became
known and loved by millions is shown
by this and the following fact: eff l
were ennobled these are the arms /
should adopt" said he one day, show
ing a rough vignette to a friend. The
sketch contained a very beautiful and
pathetic idea. 1t represented a heart
pierced by a needle threaded with sill
yer tears, and beneath was the motto
he had Inscribed on the imaginary
tombstone.
1.-THE Song of the Shirt appeared in
the Christmas number OF the fifth vol
ume of Punch. 1t was unsigned, but
every paper in the land quoted it, and
1t speedily became the talk Of the day.
Hood himself did not think 1t very re-
markable, but Mrs. Hood had said to
him as she folded 1t for press: Now,
mind, Hood, mark my words, this will
tell wonderfully. 1t is one Of the best
things you ever did"
Mrs. Hood was right. The song was
translated into French, German and
Italian. 1t was printed on cheap cot
ton handherchiefs and parodied times
without number.
