He received a point toward the final prize. The work of the ladies in umbrella rolling was examined and pronounced | upon by the men. The lucky woman | whose rolling was considered superior | to that of her associates received a point toward the ladies’ prize, to be awarded at the close of the festivities. | Driving nalls and making button- | holes proved to be the next number on | the programme. The nails were driven by the women, while the men devoted themselves to buttonhole working. Each lady in the company was given a &trip of soft wood, a dozen nails and 8 hammer, the men receiving strips of Hnen with buttonholes cut in them, needles and thread. a PRETTY LAURA CONGER. Like the Princess in Falry Land She Rewards Hero Who Saved Her at Peking, Announcement of the coming mar- in the Celestial ciiy. The Chicago Chronicle says that | the Young man who was fortunate | enough to form one of the relief ex- pedition and to play a hero's part | In the eyes of the rescued Americans | and who has now reaped so rich a reward is lieutenant of troop K, | Third cavalry, one of the fighting young soldiers whom the country { sent to China. The time was ripe for heroee when Lieut. Buchan first flashed his sword in Miss Conger’s delighted sight. Week after week the distressed for- eigners had huddled within thelr in- secure shelter. Day by day slaugh- ter, fire and bullets became more and more familiar spectacles. “Boxer” | horrors were as common as summer | showers. Daily the specter of death | | strode near. The food supply was practically gone, hope was dying and communication sith home or with any part of the world had long been impossible. Then, one Heaven-sent day, came | the rescue party, and, well to the The Sources of Our Agricultural Imports HE value of the agricultural products received in this coun- try from Brazil last year was smaller than any other year in the past decade. Notwithstanding this fact, however, Brazil still stands first among the countries which ship to cur poris the products of the soil. Her share for 1900 was $39,287,000. Five years ngo the figure was $60,608,000, That year (1896) was the banner year in this respect. Each year since has shown a decreasing trade. Next to Brazil the United Kingdom stands as a factor in our agricultural import trade of last year. The farm produce from that source had a value of $32,606,000. But we are not going to give John Bull any undue credit for this comparatively high standing. The figure only shows how good a trades- man he is, for much of the produce credited to him had its origin in other countries, and especially in the British dependencies, the shipments from the mother country being largely in the nature of reexports. Agricultural products valued at $27,- 500,000 were purchased from the Dutch East Indies during 1900, those islands ranking third among the sources of supply. Cuba stood fourth as a contributor to our agricultural import trade in UNITED oi NG DOM Se emmier lal 4 NATIONS THAT 8HIP UB AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. luce received from that 1900, the island amounting in value to $27,226. pro { 000, Germany was the fifth country in importance, supplying agricultural im- ports that had a value of $26,049,000, These figures the largest of the were the | past five Years, pling the record A lively feature it proved to be. The | room rang with laughter and good na- | tured chaffing. Points toward the fl nals | were bestowed here as in the preced- ing contests. The awarding of these points was followed (t once by a brisk round, in which the gentlemen trimmed cheap | straw bon. ste with flowers and rib | bon, and the ladies puzzled examples in commercial arithmetic. The results of these tasks were Judged by a committee, formed of per- sons of the opposite sex. The two most successful players receiving as before a point towards the prize. The next feature was, if possible, even more gayly absurd and fun pro- voking than those which went before, | for here both divisions of the company | i were given pencils and paper, the gen | ®Ration. / 18 \ DRIVING NAILS tlemen being asked t for making fancy dish cake, sweetbread 1 write rections sroqueties, while the ladies v upon to say how t} investing in stocks. A longer time waa allowed for this difficult feature bouts Each side had 15 min which to do their best. Afterward the papers, with the authors’ names, were read aloud. They were hugely enjoyed by the opponents. At the end of this supreme test points were collected and counted. The lady holding most of these re- seived a book upon “The Ascent of Woman," while the male prizewinner was given a workbasket stocked with than in the foregoing ites in signed the instruments of domestic work, his | future occupation. The affair ended with a Httle dance, in which the ladies asked the gentle men to tread a measure with them, and in other ways usurped the maseu- line prerogative, Again it was the firls, not the men, who invited their partners to supper, and who conduoted them into the dining-room. — Boston Globe, Rest for Nervous Women, Anyone who is nervous should be careful how she expends her energy.
