new RECORD
IN COMMERCE
The Exports and Imports
for Eleven Months
Our Trade With the
World Amounted to
S1,5OO,OOO,OOO.

Washington. Dec 29.-The foreign
commerce of the United States in
1907 makes new record both as To
imports and exports. While but elev-
en- months figures are yet available.
the record for that period so far eX-
ceeds that OF any corresponding pc
riod of earlier years as to justify the
statement that the total of both i'm
ports and exports will be larger for
the calendar year 1907 than in any
preceding year in the history Of our
commerce. For the first time the
monthly export record has crossed
the 100000. 900 line, the total for No
Vember. 1907, being S204. 444.s60, while
the import record of sl33,110.170. made
in March. is the largest total Of i'm
portatiOns II an- single month in
the history Of our commerce. The
figures at hand justify the estimate
that the imports Of the full year viii
exceed 81 400. 900, 900 and that the ex
ports will probably exceed $1,000. 000.-
900. II to this we add the trade with
the nOncontiguous territories Of the
United States. the value of the mer
chandise entering the pats Of the
continental United States would ag
gregate $500. 900. 900 and the mer~
chandise leaving the ports Of the con-
tinental United States would aggrs-
gate nearly $4,000. OO0, 900.
The growth in the foreign COM
merce occurs chiefly in manufacturers

ed States where the highest per cent
OF children of native white stock are
being permitted TO grow up totally IL
| lilerate. two are Georgia cities. Judged
by the illiteracy in her cities. where
the advantages OF education are offer
ed to all children, Georgia stands next
to the lowest in the union.
Taking all the children of Georgia
between the ages of ten and fourteen.
one out of every five IS unable to read
| and write.
The children of this age have "a
| times as high a proportion OF illiteracy
as the children of Massachusetts and
81 times as great proportion as those
OF Nebraska.
Every year an army of $4,000 young
people are passing beyond the school
age in Georgia, totally illiterate and
, hopelessly beyond the reach of an,
future law which may be enacted on
this subject.
Twelve per cent Of all the white
voters OF Georgia have been allowed
to grow up totally illiterate-
Forty OF the states ALREADY have
compulsory school laws and the move
ment is being actively pushed in Flor
ida, South Carolina and Alabama.
A study of ten thousand of the most
prominent men in America has shown
that not one is an illiterate but that
one out OF forty-two is a college grad

The illiterates of the United States
furnish two and one-half times as
many criminals as those of an equal
number who can read and write.
Georgia. Mississippi. New Mexico.
Alabama. South Carolina and Louis
lana each have more illiterates than
Arizona with her many Indian tribes.
That the club women OF the north
are not indifferent to the appeals Of
their southern sisters is evidenced by
this one instance:
In 1905 in response to an appeal
from the president of the Tennessee
federation the Massachusetts State
federation started a settlement work
in a remote section OF the Tennessee
mountains, called Happy Hollow.
The work has been directly with the
I homes. These simple, honest. kindly
people being really anxious for their
own and their children's improvement.
The workers try to teach plain cook
| ing. the cutting of garments by pat
tern and by example. a better way OF
doing laundry work.
The example Of this bright coy
! three room cottage with everything 81
neat and orderly is an object lesson
which little by little these people learn
to follow.
The school last summer had an en-
rollment of over fifty pupils.
In the December Bulletin Mrs. Sara
T. S. Leighton gives a most delightful
account of the closing exercises Of this
! school.
a Massachusetts woman has pre-
scented this school with a bell to take
the place of the little sheep-bell which
has been used heretofore. 1t is hoped
I by those in charge to have a baby or
gan for this far away school by an
| other season.
Great difficulty is experienced in
getting supplies transported over the
roads which are rough. steep and in
many places dangerous.

club will be held at the home of Mrs

WEALTH OF TURKEY.

In the World.

NgrIculturally the Most Fertile Spot

Turkey, believe is the richest
country on the globe OF its size" said
Ernest A. Magnifico, American Vice
Consul at Smyrna. Turkey.
There are copper mines, zinc mines,
lead mines and gold and silver mines
TO be found in abundance in Turkey,
but they remain undeveloped because
no one can get concession from the
Government to work them" continued
Mr.. Magniflco. Foreign capital is
afraid 10 enter Turkey, and the indus
try OF the country and the population,
believe, are decreasing yearly. But
this cannot last forever. The people.
for centuries under the yoke OF res
tralnt, are beginning to throw off their
burden and are awaking to the posi-
bilities OF the future.
"Ten years ago 80 per cent OF the
people were ignorant of the utility of
public schools, and parents were con.
tent TO allow their children 10 grow
up without education, as they had
done before them. Now schools are
spripging up everywhere, even in the
rural districts, and the people are be-
coming alive TO their true interests.
They are taking an interest in politics
and Government affairs, and II is not
a far step from education and zeal in
politics to active participation in the
running OF the Government.
"Agriculturally Turkey is the most
fertile spot in the world. Anything
can be grown there. The principal
products are wheat and barley, nearly
all of which is shipped to England.
Smyrna is city OF 100000 popula-
tion and is the largest export city on
the Mediterranean which is saying
great deal when one remembers that
Genoa and Naples are on that sea.
There are few manufacturing estab-
lishments there and no machinery is
used. What manufacturing is done is
by hand. Smyrna rugs, of course, are

sHoRTsToP FOR MAIL sAos.
~ You Can Invent Good One Uncle
Sam VIII Pay You Well.

The Government wants device for
delivering mail bags from swift trains
without injury to the mail. "A big
fortune awaits the inventor of such
scheme" says the Second Assistant
Postmaster-General.
A substitute for twine in wrapping
the mail will also enrich the one who
is ingenious enough TO devise such q
thing, says Harper's Weekly.
Men with brains have been expert.
.menting for years TO solve the prob
lem Of how mail bags shall be receiv-
ed from trains running at sixty miles
an hour. Every day thousands OF
mail sacks are thrown from sucn
trains onto the platforms of stations
where It is impossible to make stops.
The mail bags are not infrequently
forced under the wheels OF the fast fy-
ing train by suction or the wind,
ground to pieces. and the mail that
is not entirely destroyed scattered
broadcast. At the best the mail bags
get the rougest kind Of handling and
much OF the mail becomes damaged.
The Government has been for years
hunting In vain for practical de-
vice for catching these flying mall
bags. A simple hook device has for
many years been in use whereby the
mail bags are taken aboard n fast
train without injury.
A scheme just the reverse has been
experimental with for delivering
them, but unsuccessfully, the momen-
tum gained in dlscharging a 200 pound
bag being too great to be withstood
by a device OF this kind. So the
Government is willing to pay big
price for the use OF a patent which
solves this problem.
The POST Office authorities are also
looking out for q good substitute for
jute twine. In every post Office In the
country letters are wrapped up and
tied with twlne on being made ready
for delivery. The Government has
TO pay out hundreds OF thousands or
dollars n year for this cord.
All kinds Of substitutes have been
offered, but none have proved entire
ly satisfactory. A great many inven-
tors have made devices for bundling
up the letters. but they have all failed
before the test Of quickly untying
them.
A good fastener which can be dis.
posed of instantly and at cost less
than twine, win be worth million
TO the inventor. Whatever this de-
vice may be. It will have TO be OF
stuff that can be severed as quickly
as a snap of the scissors on twine.

A FEW MODERN GIANTS.
Men and Women Who Were More
Than Eight Feet In Height.

Marie Fassnauer, a Tyrolese woman,
towers TO the height OF eight feet. But
Marie, in spite Of her many inches, Is
not the most exalted lady who ever
lived. Just quarter Of century ago,
says the st. Louis Dispatch, the
world gazed with craned head and op.
en- mouth at still taller giantess who
looked down on her admirers from a
height OF eight feet two inches and
who was said to be "still growing"
Marian" as this remarkable maid
en- was called had been born only six
teen years earlier in village near the
i Thuringian Mountains, and the Am
azon Princess" was for some months
y the greatest attraction in the specta'
Gle OF 'Babil and Bijou" at the Al
3 hambra Theatre--a character In which
she wore wonderful suit OF armor
and was crswned with a towering
headdress, the topmost plume Of which
was a good ten feet from the stage.
NOR was Marian distinguished only
by her great height; for she had a
beautifully proportioned figure, a dis
tinctively pretty face and most ami
able disposition. This magnificent
creature had very brief tenure of life
for she died at Berlin less than two
years later and before she had seen
: her eighteenth birthday.
Z In 1869 and 1870 Miss Anna II, Swan
the Nova Scotia giantess, caused con.
siderable sensation. Miss Swan SEEM
ed destined from the cradle to be
woman Of abnormal dimensions. for
though her father, q Scottish imml-
grant, was barely five feet six inches
bigh and her mother was half foot
shorter still, Miss Anna reached six
feet at the age OF II, and at 15 was the
tallest person In Nova Scotia. For
time she was the chief attraction OF
Barnum's great show, and during this
period twice narrowly escaped death
from fire.. She. had too, some histrion'
ic ability as was proved when she ap'
peared as Lady Macbeth in New York
and before going to England she made
n triumphal tour OF the United States.
In her prime Miss Swan was but a
few inches short OF eight feet, and she
found an appropriate husband in Capt.
Martin Bates. the Kentucky giant,
who was actually two inches taller
than herself.
Chang the Chinese giant who ended
his days at Bournemouth not many
years ago was a man OF enormous size.
standing over eight feet in his socks,
but he used to declare that he had q
sister at home In China who could

markable lady was eight feet four
inches in height and had hand with

BEAUTY OF MEXICAN INDIANS.
Their Fine Eyes and Features and
Intelligent Expression.


The beauty OF Indian women is one
OF the charms of Mexico.
In the capital, where the Indian has
degenerated by contact with the
whites by extreme poverty and mem
ial service, II is less to be remarked
than in the smaller towns and in the
country.
But the beautiful faces one takes in
memory away from Mexico are those
OF Indian women. Fine eyes are uni
versal and, what one hardly expects,
fine features. according to Caucasian
standards; broad brows, straight
noses well former mouths and chins
full but not gross or heavy. The ex-
preston is very generally intelligent
and often one is struck, both in indian
men and women, with the nobility and
refinement of the countenance.
One frequently sees types among
the poems that to belong to some
highly civilized ancient caste, an
Egyptian priest of royal blood, a Ro-
man centurion, an Aztec Emperor.
The women are gently lovely where
they are beautiful and the men at their
best in carriage, in manners and in
contenance are strikingly like the
very advanced product Of civilization.
In the North the mobile red man"
has chiefly been found in our poetry
and romance. At their highest they
possessed only the savage virtues.
Here in mid-Mexico, even after four
centuries of subsection, the Indian is
plainly of better make, of higher eth
mic development, of Infinitely greater
possibilities. II is far cry from the
Apache to the Aztec.
