Industrial Transition.
For the year 11)05 the United
States aggregate exportation oT
all Borts of products (agriculture,
manufactures, mines and fisher
ies) waa$l,Dl8,C00,000, which is a
lareer total ot shipments tht.n
that of England or any other con n
try. While population since 1800
has iucreased sixteen times and
exports of agriculture thirty-two
times, exports of manufactures
have been multiplied by 218. Ag
ricultural exports are still ahead
of those of manufactures but tho
gap between them is being nar
rowed rapidly. By 11)10 exports
of manufactures will probably
pass agricultural, liight bofoio
our eyes, although we may over
look the fact, tho United States is
being transformed from an agri
cultural country into a vast indus
trial community, and is thus rad
K-u'.ly changing its relations to
the world.

Birthday Surprise.
Last Saturday the family of
Mr. and Mrs. Obed T. Mellott
made a surprise supper for him,
the day being his Tl'nd birthday,
Mr. Mellott nor his wife knew
anything olit until the visitors be
gan to assemble.
Ills children were all at Home
for the first time for many years.
Nineteen grand-children were
present. All had brought along
well filled baskets, and a graud
supper was sei ved.
There were present fifty-four
in all, namely, Edward Wellott,
wife aud children Mary, June,
Eva. Daisy and Chester; Milton
Mellott, wife and children Ver
non ia, Blaine and Blan tenia; Rob
ert Mellott and wife; Chas. Mel

Many useful presents were

Points On Etiquette.
There exists a confusion some
tunes iu regard to the quesliou
of a reply toanuouncemout cut ds.
In fact; no answer at all is re
quired, unless the cards c iitn.ii i
a date of reception or days in cer
tain months. Thou tho calling
card of the recipient should be
mailed to the address, directed t
whoever sent the cards of an
nouncement, writes Hortense
Pi evost.
A card announcing a marring'!
is equivalent to a card only: it is
not an invitation ot any kind, but
a statement to the ' llVct that a
couple have been married at a
certain time and place. If, how
ever, there is added that "Mr.
aud Mrs. Blank,'' the newly mar
ried couple, will be "at home"
with day and dale and addres,
reply must be made, if not in per
son, by one's card, inclosed aud
posted to reach the name on the
day of tho "at home."
Announcement cards are al
ways sent by the parents or those
who stand in that relation, or the
bride. The form is simple :
"Mr. and Mrs. Blank announce
the marriage of their daughter
(or niece), Mary Eliza, to Mr.
James Fenner Smith, at such and
such ? church (or at a home wed
diuK) on such and such a date."
The acknowledgment must be
a visiting card in an envelope with
the names of Mr. and Mrs. Blank
on tho outside, they having sent
the card of announcement.
Two of the husband's cards
must be inclosed, with one of the
wife's, of course.
Acknowledgments of the re
ceiving announcement cards are
nevor sent to the bride, as she
does not seud them at all. A note
of congratulation to the bride is
always in order, if one is person
ally acquainted.

Whitewash Superior to Paint.
The season for whitewashing
being again at hand, the follow
ing whitewash recipe may be of
interest (clip it out and Keep it
until you are ready to begin your
brush work) :
"The White House got its name
originally from the wonderful
whiteness of the wash it was coat
ed with. An old newspaper gives
the composition of this white
wash as follows : Take half a
bushel of unslaked lime, slake it
with boiling water, strain through
coarse canvass and add a peck of
salt dissolved in warm water.
Then put in three pounds of
ground rice, boiled to a thin paste
and pour in hot, half a pound of
whiting and one pounl of tine
glue, dissolved in warm water.
This mixture is said to last prac
tically forever and to be superior
to white paint.
