Growth in Exports of Manufac
lures, 19O3-1913.

That manufactures are now the
chief feature in the growth of the
export trade of the United States
IS shown by some figures just
compiled by the Bureau Of For
eign and Domestic Commerce, De-
partment of Commerce. They
show, for the 10 years ending
with 1913, an increase of l53
per cent in the export Of manu-
features exclusive Of foodstuffs),
end of 81 per cent in all other
articles exported. The actual
increase in the 10-year period,
measured by dollars, is, manufac-
lures, 719 million all other ar
ticles, 81 million. Manufactures
formed 1879 per cent Of the ex-
ports of 1913 and 1886 per cent
Of those of 1908. If f~oodstuffs,
wholly or partly manufactured,
are included in the genral group,
Manufactures, the percentage
of increase in 1913 compared
with 1903 would be. manufac-
lures, 81 per cent, all other
merchandise, SO per cent, and the
actual increase, manufactures,
716 million dollars all other
800 million.
Manufactures made their best
export record in the fiscal year
1913. They show not only a
total tsan ever before, and
a larger increase than in any
preceding year, but also formed
a larger percentage Of the total
exports than on any previous Oc-
casion. The total exports of the
two great groups, "Manufac-
lures ready for consumption
and Manufactures for further
use in manufacturing" amounted
TO 1.1S7 million dollars against J
l,020 million in 1912, 767 million
N 1910. 612 million in 1905, 485
in 1900. 179 million in
1890, and 122 million in 1890.
The increase in 1918 over the .
Immediately preceding year was d.

WOMAN BLIND FOR
% YEARS AMAZED
At HOME Scenes

Chicago, July 24-Mrs. Mary J..
Welsh, the Michigan woman whose
sight was restored by an operation af
ter fifty years of darkness, today had a
day of varying emotions at her home
near Hillsdale, Mich. Now a feeble
woman of sixty-six, she was sixteen
when she last gazed on the faces Of
friends and relatives. Though she mar
ried when she was twenty-five she
never saw her husband. He has been
dead for number of years.
Almost all the friends she knew in
her girlhood are dead or have moved
away. Even the landscape had chang
ed. She could recall little. The road
and hill appeared familiar. Her own
home received alterations which she
Familiarity knew by touch and step, yet
when the home dawned on her vision il
amazed her.
There are four of her six living chill
dren now grown men and women Id
the neighborhood Two live in other
states and two lie in graves beside her
husband. She was overwhelmed With
emotion at the sight of her family. She
knew the faces by sensitive fingers, but
had never seen them until today.
Went to Cemetery.
After the first recovery from her
emotion she asked to be taken to the
graves of her husband and children. H.
the little country she looked upon the
epitaph of the name she married and
had never seen. Returning she spent
the day in darkened room. Her eyes
are not yet sufficiently strong to bear
continuous light
Mrs. Welsh's trip to the Chicago hos
pital, where the operation was pe"-
formed, had it's inception in a chance
visit made into Michigan few months
ago by the chaplain of the hospital, the
Rev. DR.. NJ. w. Satterfeld. In Hills
dale Dr. Satterfield delivered an ad-
dress. He told of the charitable work
done by the hospital every year. The
white haired blind woman heard him.
At the close of the services she CROPPED
her way forward and clutched the
minister's hands.
Can you do anything for me?" she
asked 81 only want to see my babies

GEORGIA SENATE
PASSES DRY BILL
1t Would Apply to Provisions
OF the Webb Act

Atlanta, Ga, July 24-The Georgia
senate yesterday passed the Hixon-
Searcy bill, applying the provisions OF
the Webb act against the importation
of spirituous liquors into Georgia.
The passage of the bill came after
two hours of bitter argument and on
ly after four amendments to the meas
ure had been voted down. The final
vote was SO to in favor of the bill
reported by the temperance committee
with only one amendment, the COM
mittees own.
The bill has but two important Sec
tons. The first, which prohibits the
importation of spirituous liquors into
the state for illegal use, was favored
almost unanimously by the senators
This measure will not apply to near
beer, to locker clubs lawfully con-
Quoted, nor to persons ordering liquor
for private use.
The second section was the bone q
contention. 1t fixes the burden o!

Burden of proof on Carrier.
| The committees amendment, which
was passed, says that when the ques-
toned shipment is in excess of three
gallons Zone case) the burden shall b?
upon the carrier, or express company
to show that it was ordered for legal
purposes. When less than three gal
Ions it shall be up to the state to show
that the shipment was for illegal pur-
poses.
The argument on this section was
bitter and characterized by all the set
speeches of ants and prohibitionists
The prohis, led by Senators Hixon ano
Searcy, wished to strike out the three
gallon clause entirely, leaving it to the
carrier in every case to prove the
legality of the shipment. They begar
their fight by offering an amendment
to this effect

STATE CHAMPION NOT IN 1T
Real Hero Of the Links In This Com
munity Was the Man Who Re-
fused to Play the Game.

We had a chance to demonstrate
our theory last fall, says writer in
the Topeka Capital. 1t worked like a
potato in rheumatic's pocket
Through the influence of the missus,
who has friends, we obtained card
to very select country club in an
eastern state, where we stayed ten
days. The club had golfitis in its
most acute form. The men and wom-
en- who frequented the club played
golf, talked golf, ate golf and slept
1t. 1t was the home Of the state
champion and the game was the one
important topic of conversation.
For a day or two we were lost in
the atmosphere of golf which befog-
ged the place. Then we began to at
tract little attention by indicating
in delicate and polite way that the
whole thing bored us to extinction.
When we respectfully declined to en-
gage in the game or borrow any of
the implements connected with the
sport there was great surprise. Our
assertion that we did not play the
game and did not wish to was receiv-
ed with amazement. Up to the time
of our advent the state champion had
been the colossal figure of the club.
At the end of three days we had
the state champion hanging on to the
ropes. At the end of week his ex-
istence had been forgotten. AS a
curiosity he had been crowded out Of
place by the eccentric" Kansan who
sat around reading the reports of the
worlds championship games, deaf to
golf and all of its manifestations. 1t
isn't always the hand that Is dealt
you. 1t is the way you play it.

BALKAN directed that affairs be built

would have form of godlipess, even
while desiring to do contrary to the
| Divine will, which he already knew.
Then he began his prophecy, which
was really blessing, the words being
Divinely inspired. AS st. Peter wrote.
"Holy men Of God spake us they were
moved by the Holy Spirit. - Pet. 1 81.
The disappointed king took the
Prophet to another viewpoint, and urg
ed the curse of at least this much of
Israel. Affairs We're built again, and
sacrifices offered. Again the hoped for
curse did not come. The angry king
insisted. and led the Prophet to an
other standpoint Again the results
were blessings upon Israel.
A Double Minded Man.
Balaams double mindedness was
abundantly manifested by his course.
He wished to speak the Lords word.
and also to have riches and honor
Right and wrong, Gods way and the
way of riches-both were before him.
He chose neither. but tried to have
both.-2 Peter 2:15. 16.
Alas, how many in every age have
had the BALKAN spirit! Jesus warned
against this spirit. saying, Eye cannot
serve God and mammon.' How many
have found the Masters words true
How many have found that God re-
jects those who regard iniquity in their
hearts; and who; If they would not
serve it. at least would love its re-
wards. Let us remember that God
looketh on the heart.
If. overtaken in n fault BALKAN had
started on the journey, hoping to gain
the evil reward. he should have been
thoroughly aroused by the incident of
the ass. Even an ass knew better than
to attempt to 90 contrary to the High
or Power. Evidently humanity's great
or reasoning power and courage may
be disadvantageously used
Balaams heart was wrong The
professed man Of God grovelled in the
mire Of sin In his desire to obtain
wealth. He said to King Balak. The
only way TO bring curse upon Israel
would be by tempting them to disobey
God. King Balak communicated with
the Midianites and urged that their
wives and daughters should apparently
fall in love with some of the Israel
ties. and introduce them to indians

God Permitted the Lesson.
