EXPORTS OF UNITED STATES
Agricultural Products to the Value Of
100000 Sent Abroad In
Eight Months.

Washington.-Ab bulletin issued by
the department OF commerce and labor
shows that the total value of agricuI-
tural products exported from the Unit
ed States for the eight months Of the
fiscal year 1906, ended with Februay,
was $500, 100000, as against 10000 900
in the same period of 1900, 1854, 000, 900
in 1902 and $56s, 000, 900 in 1905.
The growth Of the exports of agri-
cultural products, says the bulletin, oc-
ours in all the three great groups which
form the bulk of agricultural exports,
viz: Breadstuffs, cotton and provisions,
the latter including meat and dairy
products. The gain in breadstutrs was
$7O,000,000; in provisions, $4,000, 900,
and in cotton, $3O,O0O,OOO, The In
crease in the exports of breadstuffs oc-
CURED chiefly in the movement to
European countries.
While agricultural exports are larger
in total value than ever before, the per-
centage which they form of the total ex-
ports In the eight recorded months of
the fiscal year 1906, is smaller than in
any earlier year in our history, except
1905.
The percentage which manufacturers
form Of exports in the eight months
ended with February. 1906, is 1928,
while they formed but 27.2 per cent. OF
the total exports in the corresponding
months Of 1903 and 22.5 per. cent. In
the corresponding months in 1898.

FLESH LOST on FRUIT DIET
Bananas, Apples and Grapes Have
Been Found Not Good for
Englishmeu,

London. - Pure fruitarianism al
though It may maintain life, would
probably prove more troublesome to
Englfshmep than a mixed diet. This is
the observation of DR.. Noel Patton in the
diet number Of the Practitioner.
He quotes the cases of enthusiastic
vegetarians. One lived for five days on
nine and half pounds of bananas, and,
although 40 per cent. in weight below
the average for his height when the ex-
pertinent started, he lost four and half
pounds in the five days. In Al days an
other lost 18 and half pounds on diet
Of grapes and apples, one pound more IN
a fortnight on figs and oranges.
DR.. Patton tells of a California girl,
however, who remained well and
healthy on nuts, fruit, olive oil and
honey. The nuts yielded the necessary
proteid and the olive oil the fat.

oRAvE-DlooERs' BANQUET.
Ghoulish Affair Throughout, Held in
One Of the Paris Res
taurnnts.

Parfs.-A gay company Of profess
sional grave diggers lately met in one
of the most popular of the boulevard
restaurants and had the strangest din
ner ever given In Paris. The proprie-
sor Of the place made it an express
condition that the nature of the feast
must not leak out and reach the ears
az the scores of regular aristoeIatfe
patrons Of the restaurant.
The menu was printed in the most
dismal and ghoul-like terms. 1t was
enough to make anyone but q profess
sional grave digger shudder.
A newspaper writer who happened
to get himself Struggled into the ban
uuet room took just one look at the
menu and then made for the door as
fest as he could go, followed by a
sepulchal sort of song, the last line
OF the chorus saying:
I'VE expect to see you again"
Every item on the menu bore the
name Of some Paris cemetery or con-
tanned some allusion to the tomb.
The first toast was Long Life to
Death, the Queen of the World" The
grave digger who responded to it
made the hit of the evening with his
humorous twits about her majesty.
| There were numerous other toasts,
all smacking of the business of the
diners, and every response received
generous applause.
But IL the toasts were humorous
the songs were not less SO. To the
most dirge-like tunes the gay com
pany sang the merriest of words.
| A few men not of the fraternity
managed to stick there until the end
Of the weird feast. They said after
ward that they found the menu full
Of shudders but the entire affair most
enjoyable
