Joke Wasn't on Him.

Several years ago Patrolman Gramp-
kc was detailed at circus that was
performing in Camp Washington. One
OF the features OF the show was the
falling into the ring Of one Of the
actors, who pretended to be drunk.
He would then pick himself up and
finally would mount one of the most
spirited horses in the ring. One by
one he would then throw off his gar
ments until he stood forth rcsplendent
III pink tights.
The first night that Grampkc was
on duty the stunt was to be pulled off
as usual, but no sooner had the appar-
emily drunken one gotten into the ring
than Grampkc was in after him. He
iorl1ed the performer TO his feet and
hustled him outside. where he pro.
ceeded to administer n good beating.
The other employees OF the show
rushed out and finally separated
Grampke from his victim and OK
plained that It was all joke.
"a joke, is it," said Grampke, as
he looked at the disheveled man.
"Well. II isn't on me. e."-Cincinnati

SOUTH GAINING In EXPORTS
Corn Shipments Increase Aggregat.
ing Nearly Half of All.
One-third of the Wheat and Large
Percentages of Other COmmOd-
tiles Go South.

An analysis, just completed by the
Southern Commercial Congress. of vari-
Gus exports in eleven months ended May,
1870 shows facts Of importance to the
Southern States.
OF the 32.673965 bushels Of corn export
ed. 1881. 049 reached the commerce Of the
world through Southern ports. S670. 1S5
through North Atlantic ports, and 5,l72,-
ISL through Pacific and Lake ports. The
leaders in exports Of corn were. in the
order named, Baltimore. New Orleans,
and New York Compared with the same
number of months ended May, 1905 New
Orleans is shown TO have made a gain
Of nearly 100000 bushels IN the face OF
a total decline Of 100000 bushels for the
United States.
Nearly half of the oatmeal exported
went Through Southern ports. The ex-
poTss of oatmeal through Baltimore
nearly equaled the total exported
through New York and Philadelphia to-
gether Since 1908 there has been q fall
ing off in oatmeal exported of nearly
5000, 600 pounds notwithstanding this de-
cline, which has affected New York and
Philadelphia most seriously, Baltimore
has about doubled on the exports of that
year.
The heaviest shipments Of wheat from
the United States go out through Pacific
and Lake ports. OF the balance, nearly
one-third went out through Southern
ports. The three leaders in Southern
ports are, IN the order named. Baltimore
(3,0f7, $3.50. Galveston (2400,064), New Or
leans Q.564. 1867. The crop report issued
June S shows that "A ID per cent Of the
winter wheat area is in the Southern
States, and that. including Missouri
more than 30 per cent OF the area is so
situated. This wifi surprise those who
have given but little thought to the
Southern States as wheat-growing
country, The condition report for June /
shows an average of eighty-seven points
for the Southern States, excluding Mis-
souri,. against sixty-seven in Kansas.
Mobile is the only city along the At
lantic or Gulf that shows an increased
expectation of bread stuffs over both 1908
and 1909. The same is true in meat and
dairy products. The total exported has
fallen off nearly 40 per cent in two years,
but Mobile has more than doubled in the
same period.
The commerce Of Southern ports in
mineral oil products shows steady growth
over the eleven months ended May, 1908.
Baltimore has gained nearly 100000 gal
Ions. Sabine port Arthur) has jumped
from 6S,7l4,75l gallons to 1858, 09i gallons,
Galveston is slowly recovering from the
blow to its Oil business through the estab-
lishment of the Sabine customs district,
and rose from 62,So5 gallons in 1908 to
20S.l4 gallons In 1909. and to 9l5,5S5 gallons
in 1910.

M0NEY-MAKING MACHINES.
Uncle Sam Has Them, After Much
study and Experiment.

After more than a year Of study and
experiment, the mechanical experts OF
the United States Bureau of Engraving
and Printing have perfected two remark
able new machines which will. TO a great
extent, revolutionize the manufacture Of
currency as conducted by the Treasury
Department.
When a full complement of the new
inventions has been Installed, on or be-
fore July Of this year, the innovation
will have the effect of dlsplacing more
than 100 employees of Uncle Sans money
factory and saving the government about
$4,000 In wages alone. This economy il
due 10 the fact that the new machines
are largely automatic in action.
As a secondary consideration. only a
little less important, the operations OF
money manufacture will be so simplifed
and concentrated by the new equipment
that seventy machines now in use viii
be dispensed with entirely and there will
be a great saving Of floor space.

COOKS FROM INSIDE OUT.
New Device for steaming Apples SO
that They Can Be Eaten.

Apples aud other fruits of like nature
are usually cooked from the outside in
that is, the heat cooks the outside first
and gradually penetrates to the center.
A cooker described in the July Popu-
lar Mechanics reveTses the procedure. 1t
consists OF two vessels. a lower one for
receiving the water. and an upper one
for steaming the fruit From the lower
vessel the steam passes up through small
capped cylinders, or cones. perforated
with tiny holes. The apples, after being
cored, are impaled on these cones, and
are cooked from the inside as the steam
rises.
The upper vessel is covered with glass.
so that the cooking operation can be
watched. The cooking cones rise from
a. tray, which may be lifted out with the
fruit attached.
