By some curious trait in human na- ture history has become associated far more closely with military achieve ments and political changes than with the progress Of agriculture, manufac- lures. transportation and trade. This Is almost an exact reversal of the nat ural order for history is but the story of peoples, times and places; and the r.ai story, the fundamental history, of snr time Is far more the record of its effort to make a living, and Its success or failure In that effort, than 1t Is the story of the wars and laws to which the effort has given birth. The United States Crop Reporter prints some fig ures concerning the export of certain articles of food and clothing. The ag- ures cover a period of twenty-three years, and deal with wheat, corn, wheat flour and cotton. In 1884 more than half the cotton and wheat exported from the United States, more than three quarters of the wheat four and just about three-quarters of the corn, was shipped from Atlantic coast ports Last year the same ports shipped only a third of the cotton and wheat, a little more than half the wheat four, and flve-e!ghths of the corn What these ports lost, the Gulf and Pacific coast ports gained. But there has been no regular progression on one side or retrogression on the other. The table of figures, on the other hand. shows constant fluctuations, due to conditions and events which are often hard to de termine, but which are the real heart and romance of history. The war in South Africa and the more recent war between Russia and Japan; the failure of cotton crop in Egypt: an unusually good wheat year h Argentina; the opening of new territory to cultivation in British America; the extension of railroads and the establishment of new steamship lines the invention of m- proved agricultural machinery-all these causes may have contributed to effect these changes, the record of which Is always suggestive to the Imag- inatiye mind.

Man gives up with reluctance the ta- ble manners of the jungle. For centu- ries he has been instructed with line upon line. precept upon precept; but the average boy and girl still prefer fingers to forks and tongues to nap kins. It may, however. be encouraging to the weary mother to observe that little progress has been made by the human race in four centuries, even though her individual specimen of boy hood may lag far behind perfection. Erasmus, writing for the young gentle men of his time, laid down a code of table manners remarkable for what they do not take for granted; and al- though We must make some allowance for the irony of the learned critic, we still have picture of the dlnner-table of his time calculated to give us hope of our own. He assures his reader that It is very rude to wipe his nose on the tsble-cloth or his fingers on his neigh bor's coat. One may not praise the achievements of ones own cook, or criticise unfavorably ones hosts din ner, no matter how badly 1t is cooked. A courteous guest will not give his bones to the dogs to crack under the table, nor will he feed the cat, or en- courage either cat or dog to jump on the table But, above all," says the frank and vigorous Erasmus. do not lick your plate. It Is an act that i'll becomes a cat, let alone a gentleman.

UNBEATABLE WRITING.

Fashionable Folks Responsible fov
 Much Postomce Trouble.
 The postoffice employe whose duts 1t was to read almost unreadable ad- dresses was staring at daintily per. fumed tinted envelope which bore a crest. says the New York Tribune. The writing looked as If 1t had been done with a fork dipped in molasses. Its the society folk who write the most wretchedly," be said. There's no ex- cuse for them because they're educated So I s'pose they do bum penwork be- cause it's the fashion or they think 1t gives them distinction. In my expert ence I should put handwriting under three classes-that of the uneducated, the extremely busy and the fashion able.
 Bad writing with the busy class Is mostly from men who are truly In too much of hurry to form their letters we'll and the typewriter Is now reliev- ing them to such an extent that the number of badly written busy letters Is fast growing small. The uneducated do the best they can, so have some patience with them. But the fashion ables-they slant the letters from left to right, upward, In such an exagger. ated way that an envelope looks like a rainstorm. Sometimes every letter Is one-half an inch or more in length and the letters NJ, U, N, V, R and W are all formed alike A and o are hardly distinguishable and only the dot differ entiates the I from the E and often the dot is omitted. Often, as on this envelope, there will be word that is just a wiggle and scrabble and Is al- most undeclpherable.
 Although the fashionable folks write for the greater part In what I call the tall hand some write a low, small hand, the letters running to- gether, and sometimes letters are left out altogether. I can generally make out a word If the letters are all there, but when some are dropped out or the word Is finished by a trailing of of the pen Instead of forming the let ters, I'm pretty well bafled."
