A man of that stamp will make a first class secretary of war. AN enterprising manufacturer expa­ tiating on the special advantages of a brand of soap he was manufacturing, evidently wanted to ruin his business, at least with the ladies. He published that "it keeps off chaps." ENORMOUS EXPORTS Figures of th e export trade5 df. the United States since 1860, while they show remarkable expansion in the aggregate, are fairly astonishing in the proof of the manufacturing activity of the country. Where the total domestic exports have quadrupled during the past forty years, the exports of agricul­ tural products have only increased three fold. Tha difference has been made up by the increase in exports of domestic manufactures, which were over eight times as great for the last fiscal year as in the year before the war. The following table gives the total exports of the United States for the decential years from 1860 to 1890 and yearly since then: Total Domes- domestic Agricultural tic manu- exports. -products. tm..; f 315.242.433 INTO 452.AX.:«L 1KX0 S2i. ;<+•).:«! CHICAGO is to have a new twine fac­ tory which will cost $300,000 and which will be owned by the McCormick Har- ve ter 3o. There is only one twine fac­ tory now in operation in that city and is owned by the Deering Company. WITH one solitary exception, all of the 560 officers appointed for the new volunteer regiments have enjoyed the benefit of military training and experi­ ence. Everybody must commend the course President McKinley has pur- ' sued in making these appointments. UNDER the stress of excitement very peculiar telegrams sometimes are sent. A passenger on a shipwrecked vessel was rescued almost by a miracle, and soon after reaching land sent the follow­ ing dispatch to his brother: "I am saved. Try to break it to my wife." IT is gratifying to note that the use of ' American flour abroad has reached its ^ highwater mark in the fiscal year just closed with an exportation of 18,000,000 barrels. The average price per bushel - for the wheat exported during the year was 74.77 cents, and the average price y per bushel for the wheat exported in the •i form of flour was 87.67 cents. COUNT ESTERHAZY has finally refused vto testify before the court martial which is to try Dreyfus at Rennes Aug. 7. He . has uttered so many falsehoods and committed so many perjuries and con­ tradicted himself in so many ways that his testimony would not be regarded as important by either side. Esterhazy is /' probably the most discredited rascal now at large. THE Kansas girls who are forming clubs which pledge the members ' 'never to marry a young man unless he served with/ the famous Twentieth Kansas, Funston's regiment, are likely to place themselves in a very embarassing posi­ tion. Suppose, for instance, the heroes on returning ̂ should decide to marry girls only who had refused to join such silly clubs! And the worst of it is this is by no means an unlikely supposition. How unlike the old and barbarous method of punishing deserters from the army is that which is now followed and which proves more effective. An example is furnished in the case of Henry H. Johnson of battery L, Fourth artillery. Instead of being tied up bv the thumb, or subjected to the cat-o' nine-tails, or made to run the gantlet or shot, he has been dishonorably dis charged, sentenced to a year at hard labor, and deprived of all back pay and allowances. COL. DU PATY DE CLAM FRfcE. An associated press dispatch from Paris announces that Col. Du Paty De Clam has been released from Prison. It is the opinion of the general public that the Colonel has been the tool of his su­ perior officers and acted under their di­ rect orders. On these grounds it is said he has been given his freedom. He went at once to his home and refused to be interviewed. Gen. Roget and Ma}. Cuignet, who were the chief witnesses against "Capt. Dreyfus in the proceedings in the Court of Cassation, each maintains that he has absolute proof of Du Paty de Clam's forgeries and intrigue. If their state­ ments, which it was believed at the time were made to shield the general taff, are discredited, nothing will remain against Dreyfus. PROBATE COURT NEWS PROBATE NEWS.

In that year they were only twelve per cent of the whole, while In 1899 they were con­ siderably more than one-quarter. More significant still is the fact that the export of American manufactures has more than doubled since the great export year of 1892. In that year it will be noticed the exports of agricultural products amounted to five times as much as the exports of manufactures. Last year they were only twice as great. These figures prove that while Europe is the market for our agricultural products, the world is the market for our manufactures, and that we are rapidly taking posession of it.

IN a leading editorial on the business conditions of our country, the Philadel­ phia Times has this to say. "The busi­ ness conditions of our country today h8ve never been approached in the his­ tory of the republic, and there is everv indication that we have entered upon an era of prosperity that must endure for some years. Never before has so large an amount of money been in ac­ tive circulation among the people and it is diffused into every channel of in­ dustry, commerce and trade. * * There never was a period when it was so ac­ tively employed and very largely in pro­ ductive industries. Public confidence la the basis of money circulation. * * * At no time that we can recall in the fin­ ancial record of our government V»tu» there been such general confidence and socb general employment of money as are witnessed at present, and that means general prosperity. The busi­ ness record of the present year has been unexampled. With the largest diffu­ sion of money ever known, we have the fewest failures recorded in modern times. Competent and worthy labor is very generally employed, and, as a fule, at liberally increased wages, and Pointers for Advertiser*!. Space is expensive--therefore use it well. There may be luck in advertising but luck usually comes to the ones who advertise best. Where there's business there should be good advertising. Where there's good advertising there will be good businesss. Study the strong as well as the weak points of your opponent's goods and methods. By so doing, you can com­ pete more successfully for trade. On the other hand, keep your own policy dark. If you hear a business man say he can get along without advertising you may be very sure he's just the man that needs it the most. Every time a customer complains of bad treatment or of misunderstood ef­ fort on the part of an employe or of yourself that customer does you a favor which you should appreciate, At inventory time don't fail to con sider the advertising department and see wherein it is deficient or effective Eliminate then so far as possible, the bad features aritl enlarge the good ones This will make the advertisihg more profitable. The best advertising pays best. If you have failed in some things in the past it may be the fault of your adver­ tising rather than the fault of adver­ ting in general. If yours is failing to pull reconstruct your ideas and get pull­ ing qualities in your publicity. Honesty in advertising means honesty to yourself as well as honesty to your customers. Honesty to yourself means straightforward consideration of the goods you are pushing and descripton of your stock in a manner which will do yourself and the goods justice. Estate of Daniel Blocher.

I am the mother of eight children and have luwl a great deal of experience with medicines. Last summer my little daughter had the dysentery in the worst form. We thought she would die. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good. I saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlin's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recom­ mended and sent and got a bottle at once. It proved to be one of "the very best medicines we ever had in the house. It saved my little daughter's life. I am anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is.

Story, DrnfCi McHenry I1L, Fifty Mllllmi Coffee Drinkers In Anerlca. It is estimated that there are fifty million coffee drinkers in America. We have long since passed the mark of being the largest coffee consumers in the world, one-third of the entire coffee being used in America. This proportion has been steadily growing since 1861 when the total amount of coffee imported was only 79,000 tons: From Brazil, Peru, Java and Sumartra Ceylon, India, Africa, the Phillipines, and the islands of the tropical seas, bags, bales and barrels pour into New York city every year by the hundreds of thousands. From New York they are distributed to all parts of the country. But the greater portion of the coffee imported is retained in New York by the famous firm of Arbuckle Bros, the largest coffee dealers in the world. They buy more than all other dealers combined, and the name Arbuckle has become synonymous for immense deal­ ings in the favorite - breakfast beverage. This has given them great prestige among coffee growers in every part of the world; and as large buying always makes for good buying, it is not surprising that Arbuckles has become famous as the standard of coffee values, a standard no other house has been able to reach. Millions of homes in every section of the country to-day use nothing but Arbuckles coffee. The test of experience has taught the careful housewife that her faith not only means money saved, but that she is supplying the best coffee that money can procure for the coffee drinkers of the household. One immense advantage possessed by Arbuckle Bros, is that of being able to deliver the coffee berry to the con- summer with all. its delightful aroma and flavor intact. This they do by a process, the patents of which they exclusively hold, covering the many little pores of the berry thereby hold­ ing in its goodness. The ingredients used in the process are entirely whole­ some and nothing deleterious is used to mar the delicacy of flavor or taste. Part of the success of Arbuckles' coffee has been due to the generous package system used to popularize it. In each of the coffee there is a list of articles. With each package in which the list is found the purchaser buys a definite part of some article to be selected by him or her from the list sub­ ject only to the condition that the sig­ nature on the package is to be cut out and returned to Arbuckle Bros. Every­ body should see this list. CASTORU For Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of In Use For Over Thirty Years CASTORU I COMPANY. MCW YORK CITY.
