EXPORTS TO SOUTH GROW
Sales Of Argentina Will Be SIC, ooo,-
900 More This Year Than
. They Were Last.

Washington. - Commerce Of the
United States with Argentina aggre-
gates over $4O.000,0OO per annum and
is growing very rapidly. In tie fiscal
year 1905, ending June 30, the total was
$39.000,000, in the calendar year 1905
the total was $45 500, 900 and in the eight
months of the fiscal year 1906, for which
the department of commerce and labor,
through its bureau of statistics, has
presented figures, the total of $34, $685.
500 seems to justify the prediction that
for the full fiscal year which ends June
80 it will reach $5O,OOO,OO0
Notwithstanding the rapid growth In
the trade of the United States with
Argentina, the percentage of its Inn
ports supplied from this country is COM
paratively small, being but about Is per
cent. OF Its total imports, while we sup
ply 36 per cent. of the imports Of Vene-
zuela, "a per cent. Of those of Colombia,
20 per cent. of those of British Guiana,
rs per cent. of ttl,se of Ecuador, IS per
cent. of those of Peru and Is per cent.
of those of the Dutch West Indies. The
South American countries whose per.
centages of imports from the United
States are less than that of Argentina
are: Brazil, which takes but IL per
cent. of her imports from us; Chill, 81
per cent; Uruguay, 81 per cent; Bo-
livia, 6 % per cent, and Paraguay, 3h
per cent. The total imports of all South
America are, in round terms, $3.50, OOO,-
900, of which the United States supply
about - per cent, and the total exports
of all South America are $685., 900 600,
of which the United States take about
% per cent.
Naturally the United States take a
small percentage of the exports OF Ar
gentina, since the products of that coun-
try for expectation are largely of the
same character as those Of the United
States.

Twenty-four by thirty-nine and one
half feet is foundation enough for a
good-sized house. By following this
plan a house like this may be built un-
der favorable circumstances for about
$1,000 or $1,000. There is no expensive
finish about the house, but everything
Is plain and neat. A hollow brick wall
is intended for the cellar and the cellar
is to have brick floor, properly
drained, and the drains connected with
q cesspool constructed in a scientific
manner.
There are three good-sized bedrooms
on the second floor, and splendid at
tic room over the kitchen for storage,
and an attic for ventilation over the
whole house. The arrangement Of the
rooms is somewhat different from the
ordinary house plan, but it is a good
arrangement where there are a number
of children in the family, or in some
cases where hired help is boarded in
the house.
A distinguishing feature is the large
kitchen. There Is ample room for
cooking for large family and the cellar
and pantry accommodations are in
keeping with the kitchen. The kitchen
in this plan is 13hx16 feet, with corner
windows and an outside door in one
corner.
New houses without the furniture
and belonings of the family are decep-
tive. A family can manage perhaps
with parlor and living room without
any business arrangement about tho
house at all, but It would be hard to
mouth existence. It would be afte.
the tenement district plan in some Of
our large cities, where they send the
children to the corner store every Is
minutes for five cents worth of pota-
toes, piece of beefsteak the size of
your hand, and an onion. They have
not sufficient storage to keep a dozen
eggs in stock.
The most comfortable homes have
ever seen have storage in the cellar

are none which yield better enter

those dealing with ways and means to

a said to furnish better opportunities
to the quack doctor and the valetu-

PEOPLE AT THE CAPITAL.

John Sharp Williams, the Demo
cratic leader in the house, writes po-
ctry for recreation. At least, he says
1t is poetry-and he also says it is rec
reation.
Secretary Taft, who recently has
been visiting New Haven, recovered
the huge cane that he carried while
attending Yale college. It was in the
possession of Mrs. George Hotchkiss.
Congressman p. P. Campbell, Of
Kansas, is regarded as one of the best
dressed men in Washington. One Of
his friends once described him as ''the
only member Of the Kansas delegation
who does not look like a Kansan."
When Gen. G. H. Grosvenor, Of
Ohio, ends his term In congress q
large number Of heads will fall in
Washington. ]. c. McElroy, the post
master OF the house of Representatives
for ten years, is one Of the men who
will have to go.
Justice Holmes is one of the most
peculiar judges the supreme court has
ever known. In order that he may
preserve his mind free from distrac-
lions Of information and misinforma.

low himself to read the newspapers.
For several days ex-senator Pugh,
Of Alabama, occupied a seat In the

on reflection. After adjournment the

Il is claimed by New York hospital
doctor that the germ Of rheumatism
has been discovered. But there have
been 20 many "sure cures" for rheuma-
tasm, and such an ocean Of disap-
continents, that the discoverer will
have long gone to his reward before
suffering humanity will take notice of
the germ discovery" or even of the
germ theory. Science has befuddled
the rank and file, and the scientists
themselves are rather unsteady on

WASHINGTON CHEFS AT WAR
Culinary Experts Of the Capital Of
Variance Over Social
Status.

There is a great scandal among the
chefs Of this city, says q recent WASH
ington correspondence Of the New
York World. Burning with desire
to do something for the San Francisco
sufferers, the chef Of the Austrian am
bassy organized culinary exposition
at Rauschers, the proceeds Of the sale
CT the set pieces, II that is what they
are called, to go to the sufferers.
Baroness Hengelmueller was gra-
ciously pleased to give the affair her
patronage. Not so some Of the other
chefs They held a mass meeting and
protested. The Austrian chef is not
the dean Of the chefs. Poof! He
ranks below the chef for the Italian
embassy, although the Austrian am
bassador is acting dean. Moreover
the chefs Of the private families have
no concern with the chefs Of the off,
cial establishments.
The culinary exposition was held.
but the chefs who refused to be led
by chef who 10 not a dean Of chefs
are wildly proclaiming that the ex-
position was not worthy the, art Of
the chefs Of the city and did not accu-
rately represent them. It looks as II
there may be a tragedy before 1t Is
ended. The chefs are holding meet
ings every night and party feeling IL
running high. A chef, 1t must be
understood, like q coachman or q but
Ter, takes rank from his employer.
Far be 1t from an ambassadorial chef
to mingle with q ministerial chef, and
far be It from the chef Of the dean Of
the diplomatic corps to follow the chef
Of one farther down the Inc.

emit volunteered to row 1t. After pro-
ceeding about two miles up the river
they anchored the boat by q large
stone which the keeper had placed on
board for that purpose. After several
hours Of Ill luck Cockrell decided tnat
he had enough fishing for one day and
ordered the constituent to turn the
boat homeward. Both the occupants
forgot about the anchor stone, and the
oarsman could not understand why
pulling down stream with tide and cur
rent favoring should be 50 much hard
er than It was coming up. Late In the
afternoon the senator and his friend
pulled up at the boathouse and made
a vigorous complaint to the keeper
about the heaviness and slowness OF
what seemed to be light craft Tho
boatman's quick eye discovered tho
cause Of the hard pulling and he ex-
claimed:
why, senator. no wonder you had
hard pulling! You have been dragging
your anchor all the way down the riv-
er."
Neither Cockrell nor his companion
was willing to acknowledge his ignor-
ance OF the fact, and the former indig-
nantly declared:

did; we had right to get some exer- !
