INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE. CONSULAR reports show that Spain sends yearly about $3, 500, 000 worth of food products to the United States and that the Americans sell $18, 000, 000 worth of food products to Spain. THE most rapid growth in the ex- ports of Japan is in floor mattings. ' which now go to the United States and Europe in lots of 100, 000 bales at a time. The second increase is in cotton rugs. ' TAPIOCA is not a grain like rice. It' 1s a starchy substance obtained by wash- ing and scraping the roots of the eas- sava plant. Most of it comes, we be- lieve, from Brazil. The cassava plant does not grow in the United States. IN spite of the profession that Eng- .land is trying to keep liquor out of Africa, the value of spirits imported into the Niger protectorate alone rose from $650,000 in 1893 to $1,170,000 in 1894, the duties imposed on liquor forming 95 per cent. of the revenues from customs. CONSUL GENERAL M elven has sent to the department of state a comprehen. sive statement of the foreign trade of Japan for 1894. The total exports ap- pear to have been 857, 529, 011, and the total imports $59, 680, 833. Of the ex- ports, 822,008, 306 worth were sent to the United States, for which this country returned goods to the value of only $5,879,139. ______.._—- FROM DAYS OF OLD. IN the famous Garden of Olives at Jerusalem there are eight flourishing olive trees that are known to be over one thousand years old. A PETRIEIED skeleton of a paleeozotic saurian, thi‘i‘ty-three feet long, has just been discovered in a stalactite cave at the Caumont quarries, between Rouen and Havre. A BABYLONIAN tablet in the British musem which has just been de- ciphered has an account of the death of King Sennacherib, almost identical with- that in the Bible (II. Kings, xix, 37). , THE first known coin is Chinese. It is copper, and specimens weighing from one to five pounds, and supposed to date froma period of at least two thousand years before Christ, are still in existence. , THE discovery of the tusks and mo- larsof 1331' primogc: Cha1e; and antiquus) in the ~:111cc, are among the larg- est 30' ... .11 in Europe.

ANOTHER Roman watch tower, the twenty-seventh in a line along the Rhine from- (Basel to the Lake of Con- stance, has just been found near Rhein- felden. A COMPLETE skeleton of a moa or dinorni's, the gigantic, ostrich-like, ex- tinct bird of New Zealand and the Con- necticut sandstone, has just been dis- covered in a New Zealand cave. A COMBUSTIBLE clay has been discov- ered. The working people in the su- burbs of Baku made use of it as fuel. The clay is burned in the form of pow- der. It gives a bluish flame of great intensity. There is no sign of smoke. DR.

I Tardy Guests Did Not Distufb the Hostess After She Had Eaten a Bun. I, sat in a. well-known and popular ‘ restaurant not long a go, and my sympa- thies went out to a couple seated near me. Their table was laid for six,'and very inviting it looked withlits wick- ered Chianti, its pink and white rad- ishes, appetizing Olives and rolls and snow cloth and napkins, with a half- dozen wine glasses at each plate. But the rest of the party did not arrive. Ten minutes passed and the wife said: SGeorge, I am simply starving to' death, and I cannot wait any longer. I must eat a roll, anyway.” “No, no!” interposed her husband. “Don’t do that! You’ll spoil your ap— petite, and it’s a speciallyg Good dinner, you know. They’ll be here bdireetly.” But our party had gone from little- neck clams to soup and from soup to lobster, yet the impolite quartette did not put in an appearance. Then the husband rose and seized his hat. “I’ll go out and look for them,” he said, nervously, “for something must have happened. They surely wouldn’t keep a dinner waiting like this.” So he disappeared, and the moment he was out of sight the wife ‘seized a roll, broke it apart, buttered and de- voured it with famished air. Then she brushed away the tell- tale crumbs and sat with an innocent face until he rhus- band arriv ed. He came back alone and wearing a mighty frown “This is absurd,” he said, “and there 5 no excuse for it. He knew the time and place perfectly. Here, waiter, bring us clams and soup for two.” “N o, no,” interrupted the wife. “We mustn’t be ill-bred because they are. We’ll wait a little while longer. If 1 can do it, you can, sure.” “That’s true,” replied the innocent husband, gazing at her in admiration. “Annie, you’re a trump, and no mistake, and you ate such a light luncheon, too." “Well, I should say I did,” was the re- sponse, deliv ered v» vith a Spartan air. flow the wicked ones arrived, and there was a scraping for chairs, a frou- frou of sleeves and skirts, and then I heard: “I hope we haven’t kept you wait- ing?” To which the hostess responded, as she held herself back from springing, panther-like, upon the first course: “Why, not at all!” Talk about the triumphs of civiliza- tionI—N. Y. Recorder. How Eugenie Dressed. ' The empress usually wore velvet of rich, dark colors, which were particu- larly becoming to her exquisitely fair complexion. The emperor liked to see her richly dressed, and often objected to the extreme simplicity of her morn- ing attire, :which, -it must be acknowl- edged, was oftcn too fanciful to be ap- propriate to her high position. Every- thing she wore was well made and perfectly neat; her hair was beauti- fully dressed; but she liked the com- fort of looselgaribaldi bodices of red flannel with a plain black silk skirt over a red flannel underskirt, all of which was concealed‘ when she went out by a handsome cloak and the fur coverings of the Open carriage. I have seen her wear, within the palace, a tight jacket of knitted black wool, with a gray border, over the silk and-- crape dress which she wore as second mourning for her sister, the duchess of Alva. It was a sort of wrap which one would expect to see on the shoulders of some old crone bending over her fire rather than on the graceful figure of the beautiful empress of the French. I might quote other instances; such as a loose jacket of a small black and white check bordered with red flannel, etc.— Anna L. Bicknell, in Century. Domestic Life of the First Consul. Much of the same policy was still displayed in the Official receptions held in the Tuileries. In the first place. the domestic life of the Bonapartes was carefully accented by the presence of the first consul’s wife and sisters with their families. N O mistresses were ever allowed to flaunt themselves in public under either the consulate or the empire. The same standards of conjugal fidelity were to be supposed valid in the first family of the land as in those of the masses. Then, too, there was displayed a genial familiarity, sometimes even brusque and rude, like that prevalent among the middle class—the good-fellowship which they admired above every other quality. Of course there must be ceremonial, and on high occasions the great officers of state with the diplomatic corps were arrayed in a circle like that customary in courts from immemorial times. But these latter personages, grand as they were, had to put up with much the same treatment from the first consul while making his rounds as that which his relatives, his state and military of- ficials, and the plain people of France generally receiVed at his hands—‘— Prof. William M. Sloane, in Century. Marriages of College Women. Under twenty-five years old, college, women rarely marry; of 277 graduates of the latest three classes, but ten are married. If these youngest classes are left out of account, so that we consider only women who have passed 25, we find 32. 7 per cent. In? .rried; after the age of 30 is passed, 43.7 ; after 35, the rate becomes 49.7; while of those who have passed 40 years, 54.5 per cent. are married. The census tables do not fix exactly the general marriage rate for women of this age, but it is not far from' 90 per cent. The ultimate probability of a college woman’s marriage, there- fore, seems to be below 55 per cent., against 90 per cent. for other women—- not quite two-thirds as great.——Milicent Washburn Shinn, in Century. _ A Dreadful Threat.

He Finds Diamonds and Money at Very Rare Intervals. Before commencing operations each man in a gang provides himself with a. bull’s-eye lantern, a canvas apron and a pole some seven or eight feet in length, having an iron attachment at one end, somewhat in the shape of a hoe. For greater convenience the lantern is in- variably fixed to theright shoulder, so that when walking the light is thrown ahead, and when stopping its rays shine directly to their feet. Thus accoutred, they walk slowly along through the mud, feeling with their naked feet for anything unusual, at the same‘time raking the accumula- tion from the walls and picking from the crevices any article they see. Noth- ing is allowed to escape them, no mat- ter what its worth, provided it is not absolutely valueless. Old iron, pieces of rope, bones, current coin of the realm and articles of plate and jewelry—all is good fish which comes to the hunter’s net. With “fins” in the way of coins, of course, the “humble penny” predom- inates. Sixpence and shillings, how- ever, often increase the value of the cel- lection, and at rare intervals—too rare to please the hunter—half sovereigns are discovered. Like the flies in amber, the mystery is how they got there. Among other articles of intrinsic worth silver spoons are most often found, although shirt studs, diamond rings, silver drinking vessels and many » other quite .out of place articles swell the list from time to time. Lucky finds, such as those above mentioned, do not. deter the sewer man from keeping a keen lookout for less valuable articles as they float by. His sharp eye, from long practice, is capable of judging the worth of the floating refuse before it would be even discernable to the or- dinary observer. Mile after mile .does the sewer hunter traverse Underground, until a tolerably heavy bag is the result of his labor._ Night and day is all one to the man. Some gangs enter the Sewers at .night and work until morning, while others carry out the search only during the daytime. Rats .abound everywhere, some of them being of enormous size, large enough to frighten any beginner The experienced hunter, however, takes no notice of them and the rats are only too pleased to sneak away in the darkness—Pearson’s Weekly. . ABOUT TACKS; Made in Great Variety and for Many Dif- ferent Uses. The best tacks are made of imported Swedish iron; the next grade of Ameri- can soft steel, andthe cheapest of com- mon American iron. Tacks made of copper. Some tacks are tinned. and for ship use tacks are galvanized. Tacks are made of sizes ranging from half-ounce to 24-ounce. The tack com- monly used as a carpet tack is an 8- ounce tack. A 24-ounce tack is. about 11A, inches in length. There are many kinds of tacks; made i" or a great variety of uses, and they are put up in many different. forms. There are gimp tacks, looking-glass tacks, up- holsterers’ tacks, trunk tacks, lace tacks, basket tacks, brush tacks, cofiin tacks, shank tacks, lasting tacks, min- crs’ tacks, cheese box tacks, and tacks for many other uses. Within the past dozen years the sale of double-pointed tacks has increased tenfold with the greatly increased use of electrical wires. Double-pointed tacks are also used for tacking down straw mat-ting and for other purposes. ~ Tacks that are sold" 1n papers are put up in full weights, half weights, and quarter weights, the weight indicating the size of the package. Almost all kinds of tacks are also sold in bulk in 25-pound and 50-pound boxes and in 100- -pound kegs. -'.: A one- ounce tack machine will make in a day about 100,000 tacks altogether. The iron is fed into the machine in a plate which is of a width :1 little greater than the length Of the finished tack, so as to allow of material to be. upset for the head. An 8-ounce machine will make about 200 pounds of tacks a day, 1,250 to the pound, about 250,000 tacks. Tacks that are put up in papers, are weighed out and the papers filled by hand. Comparatively few tacks are put up nowadays in tied-up papers; they are put up mostly in little pasteboard boxes. These 1302 res are packed 1n larger boxes and in t'urn in cases for shipment. A common tack package is a case‘weigh- 1.1g about 100 pounds. The annual tack product of the coun- try is estimated at about 20,000 tons. If these tacks were all put up in papers of the usual assortments of sizes and \veigths, the papers would numberabout 300,000, 000, or “something more than four papers per eapita of the population. -—-N. Y. Sun. The Princess Was Fishing, Too. There is a. story to the effect that when the “powers that were” decreed that Queen Victoria’s daughter, Prin- cess Louise, must be provided with a husband there were five of her majesty’s subjects who were named as being eli- gible. The position of son-in-law to the queen .is not, however, looked upon as in every way a. desirable one, and four of the noble gentlemen in question, ge. - ting wind of the affair, promptly went off and engaged themselves to women for whom they had preferences. The son of the duke of Argyll chanced to be away on a fishing t1 ip at the time, and so heard nothing of the matter until his return to London, w hen almost immedi- ately the hand of the princess was of- fered to him. This was, of course, prac- tically equal to a royal command, and very shortly afterward the marriage took place—Detroit Free Press. ——7Ruins in some ecuntries indicate prosperity; in others, decay.
