'RADE WITH .. FRANCE HEAVY

Washington, May 17.-According 70
 Frank H. Mason, United States con
 ul general at Paris, shows the im-
 nense trade of France, which is of
 |pecial interest to the United States
 ust now, inasmuch as the tariff is-
 tue bids fair to assume position of prime importance. In the event that the present acute relations develop Into tariff war, an annually increas- Ing trade, which in 1906 amounted to 6171,252,SoS, will be involved. Of this grand total $71,447, ,936 was in imports frol B France to the United States, wMAe $99,SO4,932 was in exports into France from this country. The sta tistics, furnished by the cOnsul-gen- |eral, show that the exports to France lin 1906 were approximately $1,000,O00 Igreater in 1906 than in 1905, and the |impo.ts from France increased $14,- |566,7S9, in the same period, both inn ports and exports surpassing those Hf any preceding year. The larger item of exportation from the United States into France in 1906 was raw cotton, which aggregated 171,245 merle tons, and was valued at 222,620,000 francs. Another was copper, of which 36,497 metric tons, valued at 62,146,000 francs, were received. American and Porto Rico coffee, upon which the French government recently imposed a prohibitive duty, was imported last year in small amount, only 966 me- trio tons, vauled at 1,005,O00 francs. If the Measure recently introduced in the French Chamber of Deputies be- comes law, the trade in cotton seed oil will be seriously injured, as the measure increases the duty on that ar ticle. In 1906 the exports to France of that article were 307,421 metric tons, with value of 17,546,000 francs. The principal import from France is Acotton goods, which in 1906 amount eed to 62,562,00 francs Manufactured silk articles ran a close second, with a value of 60,954,000 francs. The recent action of the Treasury Department in increasing the invoice value of Limo- ges porcelain affected an article at an item of the imports, classed as crockery and porcelain, which in 1906 amounted to 5,792,000 francs.

CHAPTER VII.
Sad News.

Upon the whole, however we men
may complain of the hardness of our
lives, mans lot is free from the
catastrophes to which that Of woman
Is liable. He may stoop low, and live
to stoop again, but she never. She
only too literally falls to rise no
more" Sophy Gilbert, or to give her
hor proper title, Sophy Perry, of
course, was in no such terrible plight
as that.
To some young ladies, had they
been in Sophy's position, it may have
seemed a not very difficult task,
though an unpleasant one. to make
confession of the weakness that had
led them into it. Il was in love
with Mr.. Herbert Perry, dear guard
Ian; and since I knew l should not
obtain your consent to our union, we
married without it."
But Sophy knew that the canon
with all his kindness, was not a man
to be Modified where duplicity and
double dealing were concerned; he
had always treated her with so much
trust and affection, and she had
shown herself S utterly unworthy of
trust. Against Miss Aldred her
transgression was still graver, for the
very liberty Aunt Maria had allowed
her, contrary to her w better judg-
nent, she had clandestinely abused.

Peanut Waters.

For peanut jumbles OF waters
grind a cupful of roasted and shelled
peanuts until fine. Cream a rather
liberal fourth of a cup of butter, add
half a cupful of sugar, using likewise
4 liberal measure of sifted -four. Mois-
ten the mixture with a scant cupful
Of milk, or enough to make a stiff
dough, about like pie crust. Flour a
board and rolling pin, then roll out
the dough until of waferlike thinness.
These jumbles should be SO thin af-
ter rolling and cutting out, that one
can almost see through them. Bake
On buttered pans in a brisk oven, TAX
ing care that they do not burn. They
should bake until a nice brown and
should when served be crisp like
snaps" They are delicious with a,
cup of freshed "brewed" tea and a
slice of cream cheese.-Florida Agri-
culturist.

ing the matter, I hope, MaVcrs?'
and Miss Mildred expressing the
same sentiment by her anxious looks,
Il shall be staying up during the
Long Vacation" went on Adair, in a
lower tone, land I hope you will al
low me sometimes to point out to
you-and to Miss Alfred, of course
what is most worth seeing in the
neighborhood."
1T will give us great pleasure"
she said, I'm sure"
1t was a bold reply; was it possible
that Mr.. MAYORS had heard it, since
he threw such a quick, serious glance
across at her, and looked SO grave?
He had read the note, and was put
ting it carefully into his pocket.
"Tell the messenger, Barclay" he
said, that 1 shall be in my rooms in
twenty minutes"
Must you leave US so soon?' in
quired the hostess, sympathetically.
"EVhy, yes, l am sorry to say l
must; it is a piece of rather pressing
college business. Prater-the other
tutor-is away this week, so I have
his side to look after as we'll as my
own"
Miss Aldred, with womanly tact, at
once perceived that something seri-
Gus, but which was not to be dis
closed at all events to ladies' ears,
had happened, and gave Sophy that
mystic nod which is the blue-peter OF
the female fleet; the signal for sail
ing out of the room. AS the door
closed behind them, Mr.. MAYORS, with
his hand upon his chair, observed
with emotion. "a sad calamity has
taken place, Aldred."
Not, I trust, of a private nature?'
exclaimed the canon
LAS regards myself, no; but from
something that dropped from you the
other day, I am afraid it may affect
you somewhat. Mr.. Herbert Perry
was, believe, a visitor at the Lau-
rels. He is drowned. His body has
Just been found in the river"

CHAPTER VIII.
The Fatal Letter.

The news of death, especially If it
be sudden and violent, will sober a
drunken man; even those who play
at the game whose moves are death
seasoned old soldiers-feel some
shock when a comrade is snatched
away from them by other than pro-
fessional means--shot, shell or steel.
In civil life, for the moment, it Gre
ates a.stir with which no other catas-
trophe-bankruptcy, an elopement,
or even being raised to the peerage-
can compare. No man is so lethargic,
or so immersed in greed or pleasure,
but that at those terrible tidings a
secret door is opened in his own soul,
and he looks forth, if it is but for an
instant, upon the dark unfathomed
void that is awaiting him also. When
the awful summons has been served
upon one in youth and strength its
effect upon the bystanders is still
greater.
In the present case Mr.. MAYORS
was, as was natural, the least moved
of all those present. The dead man
was personally unknown to him. He
could only call to remembrance the
tall, handsome young fellow that had
stood up (from various causes) with
some difficulty in the boat only last
evening to drink Miss Gilberts
health, and was now. nerveless,
bloodless, breathless. Not for one
instant did it enter into his mind
that since the unworthy object OF her
affection was removed the girl Tor
whom he had himself begun to en-
terrain 1.-The low beginnings OF love
had been rendered more accessible
to him.
Nor, at all events for the present,
did it occur to the canon to con-
graduate himself upon the trouble
ended-a domestic knot thus oppor-
timely severed by the hand of Fate"
Poor fellow, poor fellow" he
murmured softly.
These men were both by nature
gentlemen.
Adair, too, was not moV
Death was no more familiar to him
than to the other two, but he felt
less of horror. There was some
thing in his heart, though not in his
voice, that smacked of hesitating
satisfaction as he inquired, Are you
quite sure of this, Mr.. Mavors?'
"On1y too s1re" :
"How did it happen?" inquired the
canon. How could it have hap
pened?" meaning that to the dead
man water had been the natural ele-
ment. II. the misfortune had been
less tremendous he would have said,
why, he could swim like a fish" In
c~atastrophes we do not use meta
phors or commonplace.

The Usas of an Edge Bone.

Purchase an edge bone, varying
from eleven to fifteen pounds, at
from four to six cents a pound; the
larger it is the more steak on it..
Have the butcher break the bone
twice, but not cut the meat. Slice
off a good meal of steak, then cut a
fine pot roast from the thick part.
Next trim off all the surplus fat and
try it out for drippings. The remain
der may be cut off for a smothered
beef and use the bone for a vegetable
soup. This makes five good dinners,
with the addition of a vegetable and
a Salad for five in family at a total
cost of from fifty to eighty cents

NHINTS FOR The
NHOUSEkEEPER,
T@ vNl

Celery sandwich filling blends
mayonnaise and finely minced, ten
der celery.
Beef or mutton reheated in a dou-
BILE boiler is a vast improvement over
the ordinary stew.
For the removal of grease spots
from wooden dresses salt dissolved in
alcohol is recommended.
Stoves may look nice for some time
by rubbing them thoroughly with a
newspaper every morning.
If gilt frames, when new, are COW
cred with a coat of white varnish, all
specks car then be washed off with
water without harm.
To improve the flavor of roast beef
and give a rich brown color add a
tablespoonful Of sugar to the water
for basting the meat.
A piece of coarse net sewed over
an extra large hole in a stocking will
make it easier to darn, and will make
the darn more lasting.
Thin cucumber slices with a lettuce
leaf and mayonnaise make a sand
witch filling that men who scorn sand
witches the most can seldom resist.
A popular sandwich combines
olives and cream cheese. Spread one
buttered slice with the former, and
the other with the latter, and press
them together.
If bedstead creaks at each move
ment of the sleeper, remove the Stats
and wrap the ends of each in old
newspapers. This will prove a COM
plete %silencer.
A small paint brush with long,
strong, supple bristles is the best
thing with which to keep cut glass
clean. 1t is the only meal of reach
ing the dust which lodges in the
small carvings.
CoppeTwaTe may be frightened by
rubbing with a piece of flannel that
has been wrung out of hot water,
we'll soaked and busted with borax.
RlnSlng and a polish should follow
the rubbing.
If you wish to use quinine as a hair
grower put it up in this form: One
dram of bisulphate of quinine, one
half ounce of tincture of cantharides,
seven ounces Of listerine. Apply to
the scalp twice a day.
Olives and Spanish red peppers
(the pimolas that are to be had in
cans or the fresh sweet red pepper):
chopped fine, moistened with Mayor
naise and spread on buttered bread.
make toothsome sandwiches. Olives
alone also make an excellent filling.
