Exports of Manufacturs 81
From the United States

1895. but thirty per cent; in 1856, but
twenty-five per cent. and in 1876, twenty
per cent. Thus the exports of manu-
features in 1906 are three ard one-half
times as great as n decade ago, and the
share which manufactures form Of the
total exports about one-thrd greater
than at that time.
This Is the first time that exports OF
manufactures have crossed. or even APP
proximated the 5000 900 line Even in
the fiscal year 1905. which is only six
months away, the total exports Of manu-
features were but 1856, 600, 600; in 1905. s6l2.-
900; In 1904, s52a0oo ,0oo; in 1908, $685.
900 900; in 1902 $454 900 600: In 1901 s466 0OO,
600; in 1900, $4s4,0Oo,0o0; in 1899 $3.50 100000,
and in 1898, 1926 100000. Thus the exports
OF manufactures In the calendar year
1906 are actually twice as great in value
as In the fiscal year 1898, having thus
doubled In eight years.
Practically one-half of the manufactures
exported from the United states goes
to Europe the great manufacturing sec
ton Of the world. OF the s6S6,00O,0oo
worth of manufactures exported In The
fiscal year 1905, 100000 worth went
to Europe. s1S2,000,OOO to North America,
$40. coo 900 to Asia, $64,000;0o0 to South
America, $3O000,000 to Oceana, and $780,
600 to Africa. OF, the ssis,OOO.Oo0 worth
OF manufactures sent to Europe, s7s, 1000

The United States now holds third
rank among the nations as an exporter
OF manufactures. The total exports OF
manufactures from the United Kingdom
In the latest year for which statistics
are available were 81, 33S ooOO0 from
Germany, s9loooo,oco; from the United

from Switzerland, sl4looo,ooo, and from

that in this grouping Of the worlds

United States now stands third In the list

German Workingmen's Insurance

Il Consul Frank s. Hannah, writing from
Magdeburg, says that on November 18th
WAS celebrated the twenty-ffth anniver-
sary of the founding of the workmen's
insurance by Emperor William !. This
insurance, which is compulsory, Is de-
signed to assist the laboring classes when
they are incapacitated for work, owing to
accident. sickness or old age, and has
grown in the past twenty-five years to be
ono of the largest and most beneficial sys-
toms of insurance ever devised. During
this period over $952,0000OO has been paid
out to 60,0000o1 people. The small pre-
miums for this insurance, which arc paid
by the cancellation of stamps and the
nccruiug personal benefits, ETC.: were
treated in detail in Mr.. Hannah's report
last year in a special publication by the
Bureau Of Manufactures, entitled, life

New Invention for Oil Motors.

Consul R. S. S. Bergh sends the report
from Gutenberg that j. Hesselman, a
civil engineer in the employ OF the gas
motor manufacturing firm. Aktiebolaget
Diesels Motorer, at Sckla, Sweden, has
made an invention by which a gas motor
can be reversed by device within the
motor itself, when kerosene or raw oil is
used for motive power. 1t Is remarked
that If this invention Is all 1t Is claimed
10 be, it is very important, and will open
a wide field for tho use Of such motors
as marine engines, because they are SO
easy to handle, compared with steam
engines.

About the biggest piece of nerve
ever displayed in Mississippi, and was
thought to be big advertisement too,
was, when the manager of the hatties-
burg Daily News asked Governor
Vardamsn if he would accept the
editorial chair on the News at the
salary of a United States senator.
This big bluff offer might go alright
before an unthinking public, but to a
man with even a grain of newspaper
sense it sounds ludicrous, ridiculous
and even impossible. The Salary of a
United States senator is 81, 500 per
year, and the idea of little piney
woods daily paying that salary for an
editor, to say nothing of the other
necessary expenses, is absolutely alb
urd.-Forest Register.

fully accept the teachings Of the life
Of Christ, although am afraid I do
not always live up to them. But life
is the most important human question
to be kindly and helpful. There is
no theology in binding up man &
wounds, giving him wine and oil,
leading him to an inn and saying to
the landlord, ''Take care of him
and whatever thou spendest more,
when come again Twill repay thee. /"
That is no theology; it is only re-
ligion.

If we were asked q recipe for
cheerfulness, we would say, humbly
enjoy the good gifts of God; love
those around you tenderly, realize
that amiability is binding virtue,
and that we are bound to diffuse joy
around us in our homes But there
is just one more item in our prescrip-
tion; we must be willing to unbend,
even to stoor to a little harmless
folly. A love for animals will en-
courage this; the very presence of
these true but unassuming friends
will do our hearts good. We may
talk nonsense to them; they introduce
an element of intellectual repose'.
Dogs, cats, horses, poultry, are SO
many contributions to the gaiety and
simplicity of our daily life. We
cannot enjoy them without loving
them. We are not going to enter in
to the ranks of those who contend
that they have souls; still we hope
our readers hold in equal adherence
with ourselves the systems Of Des-
cartes and Malebranche. which would
make them ont to be mere machines.
We have but to contemplate the dog
that follows rs, watches our homes,
shares our fatigues and perils volunta-
rily. either to sick at our side, or per-
haps follow us to the grave and die
there, to reply TO the theory Of mere
mechanism. Animals are, in some
sort. members Of the family. They
are the friends Of young and old, and
old and young alike enjoy and benefit
BY their gleeful, irrational society.
