About this time Chaffee came along on foot over the situation. In the bottom one of the trenches he saw a soldier ing flat on his face, while the man him kicked him in the intervals firing.

American Foreign Trade Makes New Record, Over $40,000,000 worth of manufactures were exported from the United States in the month a 000,000 worth of manufacturers' materials were imported into the United States. This is a higher record both in exportation of manufactures and importation of manufacturers' materials than was ever made in any preceding month in the history of our foreign commerce and manufactures.

This assures a total exportation of manufactures in the fiscal year of 1900 of fully $425.000.000 and an importation of manufacturers' materials of $300,000,000, which will make the record in both exports of manufactures and imports of manufacturers' materials much higher than that of any preceding year. On only four occasions has the importation of manufacturers' materials reached the $200,000,000 line, while in the year Just ended it will be, as already indicated, about 000, an increase of 50 per cent over the average of the last five years. Exports of manufactures in 1899 were 000,000 and will be fully $425,000,000 in 1900, an increase of nearly or quite $90,000,000, while no earlier year ever showed an increase of as much as 000,000. The total importation of manufactures for the year will aggregate about $325,000,000, and, as already indicated, the total exports. of manufactures will aggregate $425,000,000.

Prior to 1898 imports of manufactures always exceeded exports of manufactures. i In 1888 imports of manufactures were times the amount exports of manufactures. In 1893 they were still more than double the amount of the exports. In 1896 they were nearly 50 per cent greater than the exports. In 1898, for the first time, the exports of manufactures were greater than the imports of manufactures, the figures for that year being respectively: Imports of manufactures, exports of manufactures, $290,000,000.

Since that time exports of manufactures have steadily increased and, as above indicated. will now exceed the imports of manufactures by about $100,000,000. NANSEN'S NEW EXPEDITION. His Oceanographic Researches Northern Waters This Summer. Dr.

Nansen has written to Petermann's Mitteilungen that he is about to start north on a voyage which is in no sense a polar expedition, but will be devoted to the study of sea depths 1 between Norway, Iceland, Jan Mayen and Spitzbergen. He says he hopes to obtain with the newest instruments exact determinations of the tempera- DR. NANSEN. ture and specific gravity of the sea water at all depths. He intends to give his entire attention to this work, and accordingly Dr.

J. Hjort will be in charge of the expedition. The government has placed a steamer called the Michael Sues, launched last April, at the disposal of the expe dition. Its cruise this summer will be part of the work assigned to Sweden in the scheme of international marine researches determined upon at a recent scientific congress at Stockholm. Dr.

Hjort will himself conduct the study of the ocean fauna at various depths. Dr. Nansen says that the results will be valuable to him, as they will probably complete and clear up his researches during the Fram expedition. Ladysmith's Fame. The Canadian postal department has opened an office in North Victoria county, to be known as Buller, and the name of Upper Thorne Center, near Colougne, has been changed to Ladysmith, taking effect on the day of the relief of Ladysmith, in South Africa, says the Philadelphia Record.

Another Ladysmith is to opened in western Ontario and a third in British Columbia. The Western Giant. The Western Giant is sleeping; A hemisphere is his bed; He warms his feet at the Isle of Fire, And the Pole is at his head. The World has spread his pillow With a pillowslip of snow, And Mauna Loa lights his lamp What time the earth fires glow. The Western Giant is dreaming; Perhaps it were not best To venture too near the sleeper Nor disturb him in his rest, For his teeth are clinched together, And he mutters under his breath, And on his face is written now A vision of life and death.

The Western Giant is waking; He stretches forth his arm, And the turbulent nations are silent And pallid with alarm. All breathless they watch his waking, Then turn them to flee in vain! The wreckage of a hostile fleet Has strewn the Spanish main. The Western Giant has wakened; Arise, Europa, and flee! And stand by your guns, ye Franks and Huns. And ye Cossack cavalry! And the tsung-li-yamen must tremble, And the speechless Turk must pay, While he buckles his Nicaraguan belt And wades into the fray. -John H.

Stearns. 1900, by American Press 24. "And from thence He went into the borders of Tyre don and entered into an house and have no man know it-but He be hid." The scribes and Pharisees questioning His teaching and fault with Him, and His own were slow to understand Him they were slow to believe (Math. 12, 16, 17; Luke xxiv, 25; Heb. It seems to me that knowing that was a believing soul up there coasts of Tyre and Sidon He meet her and bless her and be by her faith.

Nothing pleases faith. Our Lord said: "Have God!" "Ye believe in God, believe in Me" (Mark xi, 22; John xiv, 1). 25. "For a certain woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit Him and came and fell at His feet." had a great sorrow, a great burden, she heard of Him who healed all of sicknesses, but He was in part of the land, too far away for reach Him. Perhaps she had His words, "Come unto Me all labor and are heavy laden, and give you rest" (Math.

xi, 28), was too far away for her to Him, and so her trouble continued, she was helpless. But now she that He had actually come within reach, and quickly she was at His with confidence in Him and from Him. What a good thing ever heard of Him! 26. "The woman was a Greek gentile), a by nation, she besought Him that He would forth the devil out of her Math. xv, 22, says that she cried Him, saying: "Have mercy on Lord, Son of David! My grievously vexed with a devil." stated her trouble in few words and briefly but earnestly for just what wanted.

Where there is a real need, that is felt, words are apt to be few the point. The woman cries, mercy on me!" but it was healing daughter that she desired daughter was part of herself; the was truly her own. 27, 28. "But Jesus said unto her, children first be filled, for it meet to take the children's bread it unto the dogs. And she said unto Him, Yes, Lord: yet under the table eat of the crumbs." Math.

xv, 23-27, gives a account of this interview. Jesus did not answer her a word, and disciples besought Him to send her saying, "She Grieth after us." It is so send people away with whom we wish to be bothered; that was wished Him to do with the are prone to turn away from the portunities which God puts before us turn a deaf ear to the cry of the ishing whom Jesus came to save, have never heard of Him vet. xxiv, 11, 12. Jesus said, "I am but unto the lost sheep of the Israel." He gave similar instruction the twelve when He sent them (Math. 6).

He came primarily to that they as a people might and then bring blessing to world. Had they accepted come; but their rejecting Him kingdom which was at hand the kingdom till He shall and meantime He is gathering all nations, from Jews and gentiles, people who are called His body, who shall reign with Him kingdom comes, and the gathering body is the mystery kept secret ages and revealed specially to xvi, 25-27; Eph. iii, 1-12; Col.

McKay in his preface and Truth" says that as Son by which title the woman addressed him, He could do nothing she being a gentile, and He sent Israel; but when she appealed as Lord and meekly took her a gentile dog, then she prevailed. Doubtless He would not so have had He not seen that her faith would it, for see I Cor. 13. "For this saying go thy way; is gone out of thy daughter." xv, 28, it is written that Jesus and said, "0 woman, great is be it unto thee even as thou her daughter was made whole very hour." To the leper He said: will, be thou clean;" to the centurion. thou hast believed so be it done to the blind men, "According faith be it unto you;" to the woman touched the hem of His garment, "Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith made thee whole" (Math.

vii, 3, 29). When says to us, "Call Me and I will answer thee and show great and miglity things which thon not," reminding us that there too hard for Him (Jer. xxxiii, 27), why do we not believe Him? would but consent to have Him through us that which He desires, abiding in Him we would desire His will and ask accordingly and according to John xiv, 13, 14; xv, xvi, 23, 24, etc. "And when she was come to her she found the devil gone out, and daughter laid upon the bed." Inof being grievously vexed, no rest. peace, she finds all is rest and peace health.

"Ah, Lord God, Thou hast the heaven and the earth by Thy power and stretched out arm, and is nothing too hard for Thee." are all they that put their trust (Jer. xxxii, 17: Ps. ii. 12).

Blessed are all that befor there shall be a performance told them by the Lord (Luke i. 45). His word to Thomas is His word to us, "Be not faithless, but believing" (John xx, 27). It becomes us to be like Abraham. "Fully persuaded that what He has promised He is able to perform' (Rom.

iv, 21). He will fill the earth with His glory; He shall see of the travail of His soul and be satisfied: He shall not fail nor be discouraged, and He welcomes every saved soul who is willing to be wholly His to become a laborer with him (Num. xiv, 21; Isa. xi. 9: Hab.

Nature Practical, Not Poetical, In Scattering Sweet Blossoms. A French physician has decided that perfumes prevent people from taking certain diseases.

During an epidemic his attention was to the fact that persons who constantly used perfumes escaped taking the disease. But he found that the more delicate perfumes, like violet, lavender, attar of rose, were more efficacious than musk and strong, rank essences. Beccaria, the famous Italian botanist, long ago advised city officials to plant trees and shrubs with odoriferous blossoms or fragrant leaves along the highways, courts and parks of cities, because these strong odors produce ozone, and thereby purify the air and make the city more healthful to human beings confined to city streets or narrow, sunless courts and alleys. Indeed nature teaches us some of her delicate mysteries and farreaching processes when she plants tuberoses, orange trees, the night blooming cereus and other shrubs blossoms with such rich and oft well nigh overpowering odors in tropic lands to neutralize the danger of fevers and malaa arising from dense vegetation or ria damp, unwholesome marshes and rivers.
