We were enjoying our honeymoon
at the mountains. The air had In it

The foliage was young and OF tender

laughter In our hearts.
The evening OF our arrival we walked
around the side OF a mountain and
found coy spot under a rock where
there was q rustic bench, the position
fianked by neighboring peaks rejecting
the last rays of the setting sun. Far
beneath was the plain with what look
ed like gentle fluctuations, though some
OF them were high hills, patches of
farms and woods. and the river, mere
thread. running across the panorama
from north TO south. We sat on the
bench aud were wrapped in each other
and the view, speaking but seldom, for
there was no need for speech we
felt, and with us to feel was enough.
True, there were soft whisperlngs, but
they were not essential to the inter
mingling currents Of happiness.

EATS $500 EGGS AND DIES.
Consumptive Makes Heroic Effort to
Cure Himself by Dieting.

Marion, Ind.-After eating more
than $500 raw eggs and drinking 273
gallons Of fresh milk in a year, in an
effort to cure himself of tuberculosis,
Amos Bell, citizen of Paramount,
sickened of his diet, which became
nauseating, and declined rapidly until
death occurred.
His experience with the use of raw
eggs and milk in an effort to cure con-
sumption has been watched with in
terest by physicians. He began the
experiment more than year ago. He
adopted a diet of three raw eggs and
three quarts of milk for days
rations. He gained flesh from the first
and finally reached his normal weight
of $50 pounds.
He kept account of the eggs he had
eaten, and after eating more than 5000
the diet became nauseating and he
was compelled to discontinue the use
of it, He was feeling very well at the
time he quit eating the raw eggs,
although he still had cough. That
was three months ago. He then began
to lose weight rapidly. Mr.. Bell was
33 years old and is survived by his
widow and one child.

LESS CHAMPAGNE IS DRUNK.
United States Importe Of Sparkling
Wine Show Decrease.

Washington. - Apparently ham
payne drinking in the United is
on the wane Both the qua. md
value of that beverage imported into
this country last year were less than
in the preceding year and practically
no greater than dozen years ago.
This Is only one of several surpris-
ing features of statement issued by
the bureau of statistics on the "ebb
and flow of the commerce of the Unit
ed States" The figures show that
394,727 dozen quarts of champagne
and other sparkling wines were i'm
ported in 1906, valued at $5,S55,425,
while in the Immediately preceding
year the number of dozen quarts was
401, 514, valued at $5,995,651.
Another surprising fact is that while
the United States is one of the great
est coffee consuming countries in the
world, yet it is actually exporting that
product. The eAlyerts of domestic
products include 31,51S,494 pounds of
green or raw coffee, valued at $3.50
592.
This is explained by the fact that
Porto Rico and the Hawaiian islands
are customs districts of the United
States and that their exports to for
eign countries are now included with
the figures of exports from the various
customs districts Of this country.
1t is stated that doubtless all of this
coffee is the product of the island pos
sessions referred to. In addition 49,
100000 pounds of coffee of foreign
production brought into this country
was reeXported.
Still another curious feature of
American commerce Is that while this
country produces three-fourths of the
worlds cotton, 100000 worth of
that. product was imported last year,
to say nothing of s1,00O,000 worth of
waste cotton. This product, however,
is of different quality from that
principally produced in the United
States, being of the long and silky
fiber, coming principally from Egypt.
While this country Is the largest
manufacturer of cotton goods, the i'm
portations of manufactures of this
product aggregated in round figures
$50, 100000 in value, which was more
than so per cent in excess of the value
of these goods exported.
