It would perhaps be too much to ask the Republican brethren to Introduce a detail statement into their platform, but it Is entirely fair to ask them to substantiate the above general state ment in the columns of their party organs. The Herald takes pleasure in directing their attention to an official source of Information, and In render ing further assistance by setting forth the substance of the information. Every month Col. S. G. Brock, chief of the treasury bureau of statistics and a Republican iu whom is no mugwump ery, publishes a summary statement of imports and exports for certain periods, with other statistical compilations of more or less Interest. Id the latest of tuese publications, at page 29, is a table headed "Reciprocity Trade," which shows the value of this trade with the different Latin-American countries since the reciprocity arrangement went into affect as compared with the cor responding periods of the previous year. The following exhibit of our ex ports to those countries is compiled from that table: 1891. ISM. Braill, ISmonths 8U,690,a7 gis.att.fin Cuba, 8 mouthe 6,907,037 18,104,879 PocretoBlco, 8 moutbe..:... 1,441, MT 1,7M,1!

From the same source of in formation welearn that the value of all domestic exports for the ten months ending April 30 was $884,129,584, against $759,426,607 for the ten months ending April 30, 1891 an Increise of $124,702,977. Thus it appears that our exports to countries other than to those named increased greatly; and we may fairly suspect that the Increase to thoso countries was due to other causes than the "receproclty." dickers. But let us look a little further. The same table from which the above is complied shows that the value of our Imports from the countries named for the same periods was as follows: 1891. 1893.

One of the great things that the reciprocity scheme was going to do for the country was to give it more favorable balance of trade with the Latin-American countries. Thus far the "adverse balance"bas been Increas ed from $102,144,091 to $145,569,580, an increase of over $43,000,000, or 42 per cent., on the adverse side. It is not llkelv that the Republican brethren will make much use of these details when they brag of their reciprocity pol Icy. Chicago Herald. An exchange says , Harrison's nomination was a victory for the conservative wing of the republican party. Brother, you are away off your base; It was Just the reverse. Mr Harrison is chief of the radical wing of the republican party, the wing that wishes to enact the force bill Into a law, and to put the ignorant and vicious negroes In control of a number of the Southern States, even if rivers ofblood-not their own, mind you have to be shed to do It.

Trie library of Mary Mapes Dodge is often mentioned py literary people, who consider it a charming spot, both on ac count of tho distinguished people to bo met there, as well as the cozy comforts, many of which sko herself has planned, independent Of reigning styles. Low bookcases, half worn easy chairs, and oriental curtains make this a charming place. It is becoming common to have the library a light, cheerful abode, rather than the dark, heavy interior, the style for so long, and so many of which can still bo soen. The latest is to have a five foot wainscoting in light oak, capped by a molding carved with festooned garlands and ribbons. The ceiling is intersected with beams, also in light oak, the floor only showing old oak, but covered by rugs in shades of light brown, ecru and, perhaps, dull blue or red to correspond with walls in these same subdued but cheerful tints. Even ivory white is now seen in com bination with yellow as the prevailing tints of the modern library, but while so pretty in tho drawing room, most people find themselves unable to make this combination seem just the proper thing for the library. Light oak combined with natnral cherry .is proving most satisfactory, the effect being neither as heavy as the old stylo nor' as light as the modern colonial, Brooklyn Eagle.

On one of the recent not, soggy after noons, when every man haled his neigh bor and tried to keep at a distance from him. a perspiring, heavily clothed fat man waddled into an elevated train at the city hall station and pre-empted one of the cross seats. He brea'bed like a porpoise and mopped his faca with a large handkerchief. Just before the train started wou;: heavy almost beyond description wiu. adipose tissue, entered the same car. The car creaked beneath her tread. The passengers were many, and those who adjoined empty seats watched her prog ress with a nervous glance. But with as great a degree of blindness of choice as is sometimes said to prevail in mar riage, she plunged tc the center of the car and pressed herself down into the space beside the fat man. The fat man looked at ber a moment, but she seemed oblivions of his regard. Then he braced himself for a move and got out of his seat. Then the fat woman became aware of bis presence. "Don't move plenty of room," said she. Madam." said he, and his voice was high and clear, "it's a hot day. 1 am fat. Von are fat. We've got no busi ness to be any where near each other. So you'll excuse me." And he. moved away with an imitation of dignity, while the passengers laughed at his forcible English. But the fat woman, nettled at first, thought better of it, and as she spread herself over the entire seat murmured to a crowded neighbor, "There's some advantage in being fat after all." Her Point of Viow in New lorft Times. Cloncla of Locuata. The locusts are reappearing In Algeria In greater numbers than ever, in spite of the efforts that were made by the French administration last year to annihilate the pests. It is now believed that they come clear across-' the desert from the Soudnn. The period of incubation varies from twenty to thirty days, and the locusts require only about two months to attain their complete develop ment This fact gives a realizing sense to the prodigious numbers in which the terrible insect may multiply during its progress across the Sahara. Great clouds of the locusts have already been seen on the northern edge of the Sahara making their way north. The news comes from Touggurt and Ghardaia in the Sahara that early this year the locusts suddenly invaded those places in such enormous numbers that for four hours they fairly darkened the heav ens. About a month before similar clouds of locusts were reported in the valley of the Niger river in the Soudan, and it is believed that in the four suc ceeding weeks they had journeyed to the northern part of the Sahara. New York Sun. Takes Hi Food Through a Funnel. The other day a young man sauntered into a saloon and asked for a giasa of beer. The barkeeper, n German, recognizing in the stranuer a fellow countryman, set out a glas3 t,f the required beverage for his re fection. Taking 'he gluss in his hand, the stranger walked to tho end of the tiar, opened his coat and proceeded to pour the beer into a funnel. "Mein Gott in him mel!" shouted the astonished bartender. "Vat you do mit dot beer?" "I am drinking it," replied the stranger, calmly emptying the last drop into the funnel and nlao'ng the glass on the counter. The bar keeper was (jaral.vzt'd, and nothing short of a full explanation fully reassured him. It developed that the stranger had some time ago swallowed some carbolic acid ly mistake, which had caused stricture of the throat. He is unable to swallow even liquids, and his only means of taking food or drink is through a tube which runs into his stomach. Through this he drinks and eats, first chewing his food and then passing it through the tube into his stomach. His case was such a rare one that the barkeep er took him to see some of the doctors of the city. He is in good health, and does not seera to suffer much from his strange affliction, conversing readily, though un able to swallow anything at all. The tube through which he takes his food is re moved when not in use, and when be is hungry he places it in position and through it eats whatever he wants. Savannah News. A Word for the Cat. Kittens are a mystery of the beautiful and graceful. The wonder always is how the feline tribe could have developed at the same time Tabby and a tiger. But Tabby, while owing much to human friendship, has put us in deep debt in return. You may laugh at an old maid for petting cats; no one can live and keep sane without a pet. I know a woman who began with habits of extraordinary neatness. She drove off all the cats and dogs because they Boiled her noon. Then she maxle war on flies, and her horror was lest a visitor should let a fly into the house. Her win dows were darkened and her doors closed. At last the woman went mad on tidiness. She could not endure to have her husband enter the house for fear u fly would come too-" 1 - u - Of course no one visited sucji ,a house after awhile, and the poor creature was quite daft. Old maids that love cats are sensible. It is far better than to fall in love with a broom and a scrubbing brush. But really what a marvel of cleanliness a Well bred cat is! They deserve cushions and a place on the Are rug. Mary E. Spen cer in St. Louis Globe-Democrat Polly Was Airake. S. Mr, and Mrs. S. kept a store on Sixth avenue and Twenty-first street, and their living apartments were in the rear. One evening after they had retired Mrs. S. could not sleep, for she felt as though some thing was going to happen. So she arose and examined the doors and windows to see if they were secure, and finding that they were, she retired again, and had just fallen asleep when her pet parrot, which was near by, commenced to flutter and scream, "Ann, Annl get upl there is a man by the bed." She quickly arose and looked toward the door and there saw a masked man and an other on his knees close to the bed. She called her husband, screaming, "Burglars are in the bouse!" When the men heard the footsteps in the hall above they were frightened and ran. Within a month every house on that block was robbed, but polly saved that one and perhaps the lives of Mr. and Mrs. S. New York Kecomer. Fruits Attract Them. Hosts of unemployed men and others seeking temporarily to better their con dition are flocking to the Delaware pe ninsula now to pick small fruits for the markets of Philadelphia and .New York, The fruit growers erect rude Sheds in the open fields, and here the berry pick ers eat and sleep while the season lasts. The earnings of berry pickers are con siderably above the average pay of farm hands. Later in the season come the "peach plucks," a race of tramps from all parts of the northern Atlantic slope, feared by the native farmers and hated as competitors by the negro farm labor ers. BARNARD COLLEGE NEEDS MONEY. At Loaat SSOO.OOO Ma it M RaloMl to Boeara ItM.eoO Donatio. The generous donor of !0n.ono for build Ing a lull I for Barnard" college baa ohown hearty Interest in the development of wont ao's education which ought to Hmt emula tor In a city like New York. There mart be imitator of this generosity or else even the fruit of this donation will be lent. Among the conditions with which tbt gnoDjmona donor accompanies thla offer ing there la one that a site for the building shall be procured within 1,000 feet of Co lumbia college. When Columbia, In a few years, move to Its new quarters out Bloomingdale way. Barnard college must bsve ita site there. Now is the time to boy the site. Ter building lots will Iwnnfficient. The price of these lots now ought to be about 7.",000. If Barnard college is to have $100,000 building on a site of its own the college ought to l endowed This would need about $.VX),000. Tills is pretty clear, bnt it is not a bit more clear than that Barnard has no money at all. If these steps are to lie taken for perpetuating a work so excln ively for woman's advancement, some generous friends of the cause will have to go down in their pocketbooka. There are plenty of rich women in New York. Some of them. It Is hoped, have faith enough in this woman's college to make it a handsome donation. There are men who heartily believe in the cause of higher education for women and who are iu a condition to back their views by money contributions. Money certainly tells in this case of Barnard col lefje. Newnham and Girt on are thriving worn en's colleges in England. Isn't New York just as capable of supporting a college? Barnard has made a fine start. Thepluc'cy women who put it on foot went heroically to work with a large margin of trust and a very small one of cash. It opened with seven students. Next year's freshman class numbers already forty-five. By the time they get their college built there will be at least .3(10 women on its rolls. Here, then, is the opportunity for the friend of woman, whether that friend he man or woman. The donation of $1(10,000 should not be ineligible because there is not generous enough interest in woman' higher education to supply the money for the site of the college. Four years is the term in which the con ditions must be fulfilled. If Barnard hasn't her site then, why, technically at least, shs loses ber claim to this large donation. Wcmen often give large sums to men's colleges. Let sor..o of the rich champions of their sex come forward now and give Barnard college a good, strong boost on 'ts way. The students receive the same degrees that the Columbia boys do, so here there is a perfect equality of the sexes. Up till now Barnard has paid Its way without any strong bid for public assistance. But at this juncture she has got to have help, or the good that has been done and the good that is promised will be lost. New York World. A Disinherited Aator. Mr. Henry Astor, a brother of the late William Astor, a farmer of Columbia county, comes in for a codicil which sets forth that neither he nor his issue shall have so much as one red cent to rub against another. The father of these two men, William B. Astor, gave Henry a small amount of money, although he had offend ed the family by marrying a respectable girl, the daughter of a farmer employed on the Astor estate at Rhinecliff-on-the-Hndson. This was the only offense charged against Henry, so far as the pulv lie ever knew. This offense will not strike most people as being unpardonable, and yet, fn the eyes of the relatives, it seems to be growing in heinousness as the years goby. It wasn't so dreadful during the lifetime of his father, for that stern parent con ceded him a few paltry dollars; but com ing down to this generation he doesn't re ceive so much as a piaster, and a piaster for the son of an Astor is mighty short pasture, so to speak. Perhaps as the years glide by and bis offense becomes still fur ther intensified, his branch of the family will be required to pay in something each year to the other branch by way of further atonement for marrying whom he pleased. It is gratifying to know that Henry Astor has been doing right well since he con tracted this marriage, notwithstanding that his rich relatives didn't like it. John A. Cockerill in New York Recorder. A Possible Solution. The department of public charities and correction of New York city.with its 13,000 wards, received $2,106,237 in 1891, and re quested an appropriation of $2,S7&45 for ISM. If a part of the money tha? is an nually devoted to keeping alive the ' help less and suffering could in some way be diverted toremedying unhealthy domiciles, relieving overcrowded tenements, dissi pating polluted air and foul gases, supply ing the best food at cheap rates, educating the masses- in the simple principles of hygienic living, and in many like ways checking the sources of disease and degen eration, the knotty problem would find its best solution. The way we can cure is by preventing. We permit factors to exist that degenerate men physically, mentally ana morally, and then bring up a clumsy, mechanical, outside philanthropy to try and reform by patchwork. Dr. Henry D. Chapin in Popu lar Science Monthly. A Hardy Carp. Carp are known to be hard to kill, but one sent to Pendleton from Portland, Or., the other day beats the record It had traveled all the way from Portland on ice, and there were bruises on its head, show ing that an attempt had been made there to take its life; but when the box was opened this "firesh fish" was found to be moving around as though accustomed to such trifles. It was placed in a tub of fresh water and soon revived, swimming about m a lively fashion. It is hard to believe that any nsh could live out of its element for a journey ef 231 miles, but such is stated to be the case. Exchange. Laws- About Big Banquets. There have been laws made to stop big banquets. Charles VI of France in 1340 issued an edict restricting tho dinners of his subjects to soup, meat and pudding at any one meal. Even the state banquets only consisted of these courses. .dwartl IU in 1336.prohlbited all classes from hav ing more than two courses at any one meal, except at certain stated festivals, and strange to say it remained unrepealed till 1856.. London Ti.t-Blts. Burying Pearls In China. The practice of burying pearls with the dead must have been, It It Is not at present, very common, as Chinese ingenuity has been exercised in devising methods for restoring the luster of those found in tombs. The following directions are from a Handbook of Arts, for removing the dis coloration occasioned by gaseous emana tion's of decomposing bodies: "Take the watery extract of Yin Wing grass and some roasted wheat; put them with the stained pearls in a silken bag, and work them in the hands until the white color is restored." Philadelphia Ledger. . The Father of Jewelry.,' ; The father of Jewelry was Prometheus. When he was cut loose by Hercules from the chains that fastened him to Mount Caucasus he mad a ring Hit of one of the links of his fetters, and in the bezel of it he fixed a portion of the rock. According to Pliny that was the first ring and the first stone. Paris t igaro. . Faith la Witchcraft. Belief la witchcraft is still fonnd among the people in many countries. The wife of a rich farmer in Styria, Austria, had been paralysed for years, and the medical men gave her up as hopeless. The farmer lately applied to a soothsayer, who looked into the mat ter and pronounced the patient to be be witched. She pointed out another farmer who had also been sick for years as the wizard, and prescribed that an old pair of pants of the man and a few drops of his blood must be placed over a dull fire and slowly burned. The pa tient must be held over this smoldering fire and thoroughly fumigated, after which she would recover. The pants were obtained and the old sick man one evening, when stepping into the door way of his hnt to get a breath of fresh air, was attacked and thrown down on his face to make his nose and mouth bleed. The blood was carefully scraped up from the ground and the fumigation made, but of course without the prom ised effect of curing the woman. The old man was terribly shaken and has died since, whether as a result of the outrage committed against him is not reported. At Velilla, Spain, a farmer was sick. His son went to the only woman in the village that enjoyed the reputation of being a witch and de manded of her to restore his father to health. ' When a few days later his father had not improved he went and shot both the socalled witch and her husband dead. Chicago Herald. Divine Service by Telephone- The mayor of Nottingham, accom panied by several members of the corpo ration and other leading men of the town, recently attended divine service in a novel fashion. The meeting house was the local exchange of the National Tele phone company, but the service in which they participated was conducted at Christ church, Birmingham, fifty-one miles away, the communication being of course by telephone. They sat on each side of the ion? table on which thirty receivers were placed, while at the church end were eight transmitters two in the belfry, two in the choir, two in the reading desk, and two in the pulpit, switched on and off as exigencies required an ar rangement which has been in operation for some weeks for the edification of Birmingham subscribers. The Notting hom congregation were able to hear the bells very distinctly, and the re sponses and other musical portions of the service, while the preacher, having a clear voice and deliberate utterance, was very audible, and his sermon was listened to with close attention. Lon don Tit-Bits. Ancient Tombs. While legal proceedings as to the ownership of the famous Red Rock caverns, below Menton, in which has been recentlv found a still further group of neolithic skeletons of a giant man, are still pending, an almost equally in teresting discovery has been made in a deep railway cutting at Andresy, in Seine-et-Oise, near Paris, where the workmen ran upon a huge Merovingian cemetery of the Sixth century. Already there have been uncovered nearly 600 tombs, extending ever an area of 2 miels, yielding a hitherto unheard of mass of carved sarcophagi, knives, spears, vases, ornaments and pottery of unique shapes and styles of decoration. It is recalled now that the tiny hamlet of Andresy, in the generations succeed ing the introduction of Christianity by Genevieve and Clovis, was an important missionary center. The expected scien tific examination of these multitudinous remains will- throw a flood of light on the origins of the church among all ranks. Paris Letter. Electric Locomotives for Steam Roads. There are signs that one of the most startling revolutions of the century is approaching. Steps are being taken in the northwest toward the laying or an experimental track on which many points bearing on the substitution of electric locomotives for steam locomo tives on trunk lines will be determined, and electrical engineers throughout the country are on the qui vive for the next developments. The three eighty ton electric locomotives to be used in the Belt line tunnel, Baltimore, will push a freight train of 1,200 tons, including lo comotive, through the tunnel, up an eight-tenths of 1 per cent, grade, for a distance of 6,000 feet, at the rate of fif teen miles an hour, or a 500 ton passen ger train, including locomotive, at the rate of thirty miles an hour.

The house in which Handel was born at Halle, on the 23d of January, 1685, is to be sold, and seems likely to be bought by a brewer, who already uses the grounds as a garden. The great com poser's . admirers desire, however, to have the house converted into a Handel museum, as has been done with the birthplaces of Goethe, Beethoven and other famous men, and are collecting funds for the purpose. London Stand ard. Truly a "Circular Singnmstance." A calf belonging to a J'r.

The barber shop used to be the rendez vous tot; current news and gossip before the days of papers and clubs, xou can still hear a good deal of news in a barber shop. The average barber is still a talker from Talkerville. Moliere, the French wit and dramatist, loafed a good deal in bar ber shops and picked up good things. Gil Bias was a barber. So was Figaro, of Spain, and the opera, "The Barber of Se ville," Is Lamed for that bright fellow. Poets have taken to the craft. Folez, the old German poet, was a barber; So was the famous sonnetler, Burchiello, of Flor ence, and Allan Ramsey, author of "Gen tle Shepherd!" National Barber. : . 2,228.073.

Italy's New Prima Minister. Signor Giovanni Giolitti, the new Ital ian premier, is said to be the youngest head of a ministry that Italy has had since Cavour. He is barely fifty years of age, and has only been in parliament ten years. In the caricatures of him in The Don Chisciotte he. used to be rep resented, owing to his being one of the tallest of the deputies, by what might be called a nop pole clad in a long over coat and very high silk hat When he was twenty-two he took his degree of doctor of law, and in 1876, when Signor Depretis was in power, he had become director of customs. Signor Crispi made him minister of the treasury in March, 1889, and in November, 1890, minister of finance. A month later Signor Gio litti resigned, owing to a difference with the minister of public works, whose ex penditure he wished to cut down. He then helped to bring about the fall of the Crispi cabinet. Signor Giolitti is the leader of the Piedmontese group of the left center. London News. Sheep from Persia. Thirteen sheep and three lambs are on their way consigned to the agricultural department at Washington a fact that presents considerable interest for the agriculturally minded. They were ship ped from Persia, and an attempt is to be made to introduce their breeding into this country. These sheep are said to be noted for the beauty and richness of their skins, which are the purest astrakhan. As a warm climate is necessary for their ex istence, at least for the present, they will probably be sent to southern Cali fornia or to some other warm climate, where their value and adaptability to this country can be determined.
