visitors from abroad find their way has some
thing of especial interest to reward them for
undertaking the trip The customary routes OF
travel planned to embrace as many OF the
places noted for one reason another as are
possible to be easily seen. But ii is when one
ventures away from the beaten routes of travel
and undertakes TO see some rural region that
the life of the people is found in its natural

contrast.
But in these days of exploration in all direc-
tions and in the most out OF the way places it
is hard to find the unspoiled peasant in rural
seclusion, among the High Alps in the
recesses of the Tyrol The inhabitants OF the
quaint Island OF Marker have begun to lay
aside their picturesque costumes and wooden
sabots for the dress of fashionable civilization.

features of the trip across the English Channel

a tunnel under this tempestuous bit of water

from England to France must resign himself or

Pleasure and Profit in Going Abroad
Rest and Recreation Securing of Skies NOT
Change of Mind.

The immediate and direct results of foreign
travel are many and obvious that they i'm
press themselves with vividness and force upon
all who consider the subject. There is nothing
that is at once so beneficial in all ways to both
young and old. Added to the pleasure Of new
genes and surroundings are the especial gains
10 health and the quickening of the mind from
change TO fresh associations and contact with
other minds than those with whom one is in
daily intercourse.
While there is the authority Of the old Roma n
poet for the saying that one can change his
sky. but not his mind, it viii surely be found
by experience that the mind is renewed. re-
yivifed and, in a sense, rejuvenated by being
thrown among new associations and compelled
70 grasp new ideas. While one is inevitably
broadened aud strengthened by any form Of
travel, it is travel abroad that produces more
immediate and lasting results and gives a far
more satisfying return for time and money
than can be found within the borders of ones
own land. While there are II any persons who
feel that they must see America before they do
Europe yet the fact is that if they have first
travelled abroad they are far better fitted TO
reap the benefit Of taking trips in this country
and will find that they can grasp the signifi-
canoe of differences which might not impress
them with any force if their impressions were

After the enforced restraint of the sea voyage

Health and pleasure are the combined pur-

to secure these is the aim of every one who
plans to take a trip over sea. On a first visit
to foreign lands the average visitor is apt to
act on the principle that he must see as much
as possible. for fear of never having another
opportunity; so he is usually eager as pos

GROWTH OF EXPORTS.
Striking Increase in Manufactured
Products Sent abroad.

Washington. May S1.-Great has been the
growth in the volume of the manufactured prod
ucts of the United States since 1880, the bureau OF
statistics to-day issued a statement showing that
the proportion OF those products which has been
exported has steadily grown. that while in 1850
the exports 64 per cent Of the entire product
they had increased in 1905 to 81 per cent.
Taking the articles which have undergone
process of manufacture. and comparing these ex-
portatons with those of all articles. the bureau Of
statistics finds that they formed 80 per cent of the
total exports in 1850 and so per cent IN 1905 while
articles in crude condition formed 6s per cent Of
the exports In 1850 and only ~ per cent in 1905
Articles which have undergone a process of manu-
facture increased twenty-three fold in the period
while those exported in & crude state increased
less than seven fold indicating growing tendency

can labor before offering it for sale abroad. On the
other hand, articles which have undergone process

imports and in 1905 only 64ia per cent while those
in crude state, chiefly used in manufacturing,
formed only 17a per cent OF the imports in 1850 and
