SOME CURIOUS IMPORTS.

Curiosities of commerce are illus
trated by somewhat unattractive
looking volume just issued by the bu-
reau of statistics of the department of
commerce and labor, entitled Imports
of Merchandise Into the United States
by Articles and Countries during the
years ending June 80, 1904-190s," and
some of the more striking features of
which are told of in a bulletin issued by
that department.
The tables in this book when care
fully studied present some interesting
facts with reference to the import trade
of this country. For instance, of the 81
million pounds macaroni and similar
preparations imported in 1908 at
value of million dollars, so million
pounds came from Italy. 1-3 million
pounds from France. and 7o7 thousand
pounds from Japan. Automobiles also
form an interesting record, the value
of imports amounting to million dol
lars in 1907. but falling to 21z millions
in 1908. OF this 21s million dollars
worth imported in 1908, ~ millions was
from France, one-third of a million dol
lars worth from Italy. and one-fifth of
million dollars worth from the United
Kingdom.

soda water. and other similar bever-

pint bottles, valued at $35. 412. of which
$34,514 worth came from the United
Kingdom. In addition to this there
were imported in the same year II mill
lion quarts of mineral waters, valued at
more than 1 million dollars. This came
chiefly from France and Germany. the
value of the mineral water from Ger

ported when this country produces
three-fourths of the cotton OF the
world; yet the value of the cotton i'm
ported in 1908 was over Il million dol
lars, and in 1907 practically 20 millions.

will eat and run. After a dinner is

According to all accounts, the Cam

body of men physically. Not long ago
four of them occupied the least crowd
ed seat in a full compartment on a
Scotland railway. Just as the train
was moving off a diminutive little
clergyman jumped into the compart-

finding it very comfortable, he turned
to the one on his right and said:

today He bases his conclusions on

years, until now one has to pay about
A per cent more for commodities

steady increase in the price of COM

all signs fail, the consumer in this
country will be taxed even more
heavily for the necessities of life for
many years to come. He blanes it

THE POOR MOTHER.

The woman who loses her husband
and is compelled to face the prob
lens of existence for herself and her
children has no easy lot. If no
money has been saved, if there has
been no raining either for mother
hood or self-support, the condition is
worse. It is cold world some
times that stands outside the door of
the home. There are philanthropists
who are studying the matter. Some
of the settlement workers are giving
particular attention to the needs of
mothers. But the problem does not
receive the serious consideration it
demands.
Municipal pensioning of such de-
pendents may not be the right method
of dealing with them. Municipal
provision for food, fuel and medical
attendance may not be desirable. But
there are many instances where there
is a chance for wise counsel and
friendly assistance Dean Summers
plea is worthy of careful considera-
ton. Possibly there is notable
defect in a social organ1za-
ton which fails to provide for poor
mothers. There are such. They
feel keenly. How to help them with
out lowering their self-esteem may
require delicacy and tact--Chicago

There's only one way to keep good

There's hardly anything can make d
