BRITISH TRADE.
rns to the British Board of Trade,
now availiable to the end of August, are exactly cheering. The total value of |
Bb » exports in August was only £18.773,900, co npared with £20,327,000 in A i a year ago, a falling off of £1,~ or nearly 7-7 per cent. The
n 4 ports are vaiued atl £33,371.
G00, an iwcrease oyer August, 1896, of
es,200,000, about 2-7 per cent. From this Ss easy to perceive that the United Kingdom received more, but sent out less,
and ove naturally turns to the operation
of the new tariff bill in the United States
to explain a part of the check to British
exports. In one analysis of August for-
eign tirade returns in Great Britain it is pointed out that the United States took |
British 7 vaine £1,075,000, in August a year ago,
crea:e of £662,000, or more than $3,300,-
goods in the manth named to the
000. The Statist estimates the falling off | in all August pnrchases of British pro- ducts in the United States at $3,500,000, and concludes that other countries must have reduced their August purchases in Great Britain by fully $4,289,000, of which India is regarded 48 responsible for a decrease of $1,250,000, and Brazil, and #yrgentine, and China for about $3,000,- 000. Ofcourse the decline in August exports to the United States is due in part to previous shipments in anticipation of the Dingley bill, but the shipments for nine months this year, though somewhat larger than in the corresponding period of last year,are still nearly three million peun's below those of the nine months in 1895.
Th total value of British exports for eight months ending August 31 is given at £/57,686,000, as against £160,832,000 in the like portion of the preceding year, a decline of £3,146,000, neariy Z per cent., the larger portion of which is explained to have fa'len upon Lancashire, inasmuch a3 I-lia had so greatly reduced its purchazes. The actual decline in British cotten goods exported is stated to amount to $4 078,000. The Bradford district has also fallen behind the record for last vear, the d:cline in valueof exports of British woo'en and worsted goods for eight months of 1s97 being £1,826,000, nearly 16 per ceat. Records of foreign shipments of British iron and steel are rather more
favorable if tin plates are excluded, total ’
values being slightly larger in the past eight months than in 1896.
Tie total value of importations into the Un.ted Kingdom between January Ist and * ugust 3lst of this year has increased £11,458,000, more than 4 per cent, a large portion of which is due to increased rece! 4 of food producta other than wheat and «heat flour, tothe heavily increased arrivals of wood and higher prices for wheat and wheat flour.

Mr. F. P. Stearns, in his book ai ‘Sketches From Concord to Appledore,”’ that revealed

describes the occasion Phillips, the orator.
In October, 1837, he was married t¢ Miss Anna Green, a cousin to Mrs, Ma- ria Chapman. In November #ccurred the riot at Alton, Uls., and the assassin- ation of Lovejoy. Dr. Channing’s first petition for an indignation meeting in Faneuil hall was refused by the author. ities, but a second and more urgent one was granted. The audience was almost equally divided between the antislavery people and their opponents, who made the most disturbance. IH seemed as if the meeting would end ix confusion.
“IT went there,’’ said Wendell Phil- lips, 25 years later, ‘‘without the least intention of making a speech or taking any part in the proceedings. My wife ud Mars. Chapman wished to go, and | accompanied them. I remember wear- ing a long surtout, a brand new one. with a small cape, as was the fashion of the day, and after the attorney genera) made his speech, denouacing Lovejoy as a fool, I suddeply felt myself inspired,

the platform.
““My wife seized me by the arm, half terrified, and said:
* “Wendell, what are vou going to do?’
**T replied, ‘I am going to speak, if ] |
can make myself heard.’ ’’
The uproar was so great that the chairman asked Dr. Channing if he could stand thunder. beauty of Mr. Phillips so surprised all hearers that they paused to listen to him and were so charmed by his eloquence that they neglected to make any further disturbance. The attorney general was wholly discomfited, and Dr. Channing's resolutions were carried by a substan- tial majority.
Mr. Phillips was only 26 years of age when he delivered the spontaneous,
magnetic speech which proclaimed him
& vigorous, original orator.

In the olden times, physicians accounted searched vainly for the
wise Elixir of Life, or the knowledge whereby life might be prolonged. We now know that there is no such thing
as an Elixir of Life. But we have learned that life may be prolonged by those who take the right measures.
Any man or wottian who will take care of health and take the right remedies for ill health, may live to a ripe old age. When a man feels out of sorts, when he gets up in the morning tired out after a restless night, and goes home in the evening com- pletely knocked out with his day’s work, without appetite or ambition, he is a sick man. If he does not take the right remedy he will soon be in the grasp of cénsump- tion, nervous prostration, malaria, or some other serious malady.
A man in this condition should at once resort to Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis-
covery. It is the best of all medicines for hard-working men and women. It makes the appetite keen and hearty. It gives
sound and refreshing sle*p. It tones and strengthens the whole system. It invigor- ates the heart and nerves. It makes diges- tion perfect, the liver active and the blood pure. It cttres 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption. It strengthens weak lungs, and cures bronchitis, spitting of blood and obstinate coughs. It is the great blood- maker and flesh-builder. It does not make flabby flesii like cod liver oil, but firm, healthy, muscular tissue. It does not make corpulent p-ople more corpulent. Thou- sands hav- t«stified to its marvelous merits.

History on a Watch Pax.
Almost the last work of the Belgian astronomer Houzeau, deceased, was an article in which, while arguing in fa- vor of a decimal division of time, he pointed out the origin of the double set of 12 hours represented on our watch and clock faces. The ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia chose the number 12 as an arithmetical base because it has four divisors—viz, 2, 3, 4 and 6, while 10 has only two divisors—viz, 2and 5. They counted i2 hours in the day and 12 in the night, measuring the day by the progress of the sun and the night by the progress of the stars across the sky. This system, prevailing over all others, has come down to us, and so our watches bear on their faces @sonvenir of these ancient days when the sun served for a clock hand half of the time and the stars the other half.— Youth’s Companion.
Her Awful Ordeal,
“Mary had a dreadful experience on ber trip to Painesville?’
**How was that?’’
“Why, she got something in her eye, and it hurt her so that she asked a nice looking young man to lock for it, and he was so dreadfully nearsighted that he got so close that his big mustache tickled her nose, so that in trying not to sneeze right in his face she burst fous buttons off her new jacket.’’

He Got His Dose, The llama of South America is an ex- pert marksman, though it never uses its craft in the procurement of its food. Only when annoyed and angry does it give an exhibition of its wonderful skill in hitting the object aimed at. The Nlama’s weapon is its mouth. Its bullet is composed of saliva and chewed hay. Several years ayo, at the fair grounds in St. Louis, I witnessed an exhibition of this creature’s powers of expectora- tion, in which the victim was a country beau, who came very near losing his
sweetheart thereby. This young man

I saw by the creature’s actions that it was angry. The rapid movements of
to attack its persecutor. I warned the young man, telling him what to expect. His sweetheart begged him to desist and to come away. But He treated my warning with derision and told the girl that he *‘knew his business.’’ Suddenly there came a whizzing, whistling noise, followed by asharp spat. The young wiseacre lay supine upon his back with his eyes and forehead plastered with a disgusting mixture of saliva, hay ans] mucus.
“I hate a fool!’ said the girl, as she shouldered her parasol and walked away.
I saw them again in the monkey house some time afterward, but the man was a changed being. He had learned his lesson in decorum. He had been taught modesty by the good marks- manship of a llama,—James Weir, Jr., in Lippincott’s.
Located by .n Echo,
-A most interesting «method of employ: ing the echoof a sound has been devised for the location of the carriers which sometimes become lodged in the under. ground pneumatic tubes. Knowing that sound travels at a speed of, roughly, 1,100 fect per second, and the time meas- ured in thousandths of a second between the firing of a pistol shot into the con- duit and the arrival of the echo at the outlet of the tube, a simple calculation gives the exact location of the obstrue- tion. The mezn of five experiments in the recent test gave 2,793 seconds, and when the sound velocity was corrected for a.r temperature the obstruction was located at 1,537 feet from the instru ment, which was the exact location,~ Boston Tranecr‘nt,
English Lighthouses. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth a religious brotherhood known as the Brotherhood of the Must Glorious and
Undivided Trinity was directed by an act of parliament to preserve ancient Bea marks und to erect beacons and “signs of the sen.’’ For more than 100 years this brotherhood kept up the an- cient sea marks, but erected nothing new. Then they began to purchase and operate lights owned by private indi-
oa
‘viduals or by societies, and still later
they commenced to build lighthouses and beacons. Finally, in 1856, parlia- ment gave Trinity house the entire con- trot of the lighthouses of England.— Lieutenant John M. Ellicott, U. S. N., in St Nicholas

SINCS SISTER’S GOT A BEAU.
There’s quite a change around at home,
and all is mow serene
Vrhere once upon a time war raged and troubles I had seen.
The reason this is brought about to youl mean to shew. ‘
It’s all because a man comes here, and he is sister's beau,
I don’t know how she captured him, but he comes here just the same,
And for fear that he will stay away I will not give his name.
But I only hope he’ll always come; I real- ly love him so,
For everything is new so nice since sis- ter’s got a beau.
T can spin my top in the parlor and gen- erally have my way.
Yesterday a boy cut loose my kite, and sia bought one today.
fhe also gave me marbles and took me to a show.
I feel so happy now to say that sister’s got a beau.
The roosters and the chickens all seem to be so proud,
And the cats upon the h night “~~ extra low’; ;
The birds up In the tree tops their happi- nass do show,
And this has all been brought about since sister's got a beau.
