These marked contrasts, in which the ports tributary to the Atlantic show a reduction, and those on the l'aciiic or fronting upon con tijruous territory show an increase, are in keeping with the yeneral trend of the year's commerce, in which ex ports to I'.urope show a marked de cline, and those to Asia and to the cfontiiruous territory at the north and Mouth a marked growth. Kxports to hurope especially wert1 affected by the crop failure of last year, since breadstuffs and provisions form the I a rev pi-oportion of the sales of the United States to that part of the world: while our exports to Asia, Mexico and Canada were less affected by crop failures, since manufactures form the bulk of our sales to those parts of the world. Hence the decrease in shipments through Gulf and Atlantic ports and the increase in those through Pacific ports and those fronting upon contiguous territory. The circular goes on to say that in a comparison of the commerce of 1902 with that of 1H01. in the case of the Atlantic ports: Ne York shows a reduction in exports of 5 per cent; Philadelphia, a fall of 7 per cent; New port News, a decrease of 10 per cent; Baltimore ft fall of 25 per cent, and Boston, a drop of 35 per cent. Charleston, Wilmington and Savan nah,' on the other hand, show an in crease in exports. This the south At lantic states may regard with pleasure. The highest increase was that of Wil mington, being from 18,055,438 to $12, 559,560. On the Gulf coast, Galveston and New Orleans each show a drop of bot 15 per cent. On the Pacific coast the highest gain was reached at Puget Bound, where the increase was 35 per cent. But because we import so much from Europe, a great gain in the value of importations along the Atlantic coast well as for their muteriul int 'rests.

Her last book was "La earre," and It is not probable that she left any unfinished work. It is said that she thought this book to be her best. Because the Turks say "tnere is no one wise but Mohammed" the title of Dr. Henry Van Dyke's "Story of the Other Wise Men," which has Just been translated Into Turkish, bad to be changed to "How the Other Scientist Was Left Behind." Mr. Jack London, the novelist, is an ardent student of sociology and has lately spent some time In the east end of London busy In observing slum life there. He dressed as an American tailor looking for employment and car ried little or no money. Just now be Is living in a bungalow near San Fran Cisco with an outlook over the Golden Gate. , TIMELY TOPICS.

THET WIRE DELIGHTED TO BEE HIM. his short stories are ranked with those of Kipling, and his new novel. "A Daughter of the Snows," is one of the popular books of the year. Jack London is only twenty-six years of age, but he has been earning his liv ing since he was sixteen before the mast on a whaler, as a tramp or Jour neyman laborer and in the Klondike mines. When his .London publishers were putting out bis first book in Eng land, they wrote and advised him to come to Europe ana see something of the old world, especially of the east end of London, where, they thought, he would find endless material of the kind that be would know how to use. i This was some time last spring. He wrote from his home in California say ing thai hie hoped to do It some fiay.'a Along last September he walked into the publishers' offices. They were de lighted to see him and asked him when he arrived in England. About two months ago," was the reply. "But where have you been all the timer "In the east end-down by the docks. This Is the first call I have made." And it was a fact He arrived in London, told no one, went straight to an old clothes shop, rigged himself out In a shabby secondhand suit and promptly lost himself somewhere "down by the docks" and stayed lost for two months. The sequel will prob ably be a set of new stories located in the London slums. Stirred by ; Gabrlele D'Annunzlo's good example, Mark Twain announces that he is giving bis skull to Cornell university, where it can be studied for the enlightenment of future genera tions. "I am getting pretty old," said Mr. Clemens, speaking on this subject, "and shall probably not need the skull after next Christmas, I dunno. But if I should, I will pay rent." He modestly declined to state what rental he thought a skull like his ought to bring in the open literary market. The story of how Lord Tennyson came to write "Crossing the Bar," as told by Canon Fleming, Is Interesting reading. When asked the question by Dr. Butler of . Cambridge, the poet, pointing to s nurse who had been with him eome eighteen months and had great influence over him, replied: "That nurse was the cause of my writing Crossing the Bar.''; She asked. me to write a hymn, and I replied, 'Hymns are often such dull things.' , : But st last he consented to write one, adding. "They say that I compose very slowly, bat I knocked that off In ten minutes.' Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion that we have ever known. It is because Vinol acts so beneficially upon the stomach that it accomplishes so much good. ' Vinol contains the active curative principles that are found in cod liver oil, without any oil or grease. These medicinal elements act so favorably upon the stomach, that this organ obtains for itself the elements necessary for creating new flesh, muscle tissue and for making rich red blood. - When the stomach acts easily and naturally, a desire is created for good simple food and a good appetite is the sure result. With cod-liver oil as formerly taken the medicinal elements which it con tained were too often unable to counteract the harm that was done by the obnoxious grease that enveloped them. , Now that in Vinol we have thosr same elements separated from the vile tasting fat, we have a tonic and re builder that is simply marvelous in its action. The following is a letter that will ex blain itself : " This is to certify that I have used six bottles of Vinol, and have found it pf great value as an appetizer and tonic in general debility. I have re ceived so much benefit from its use that I gladly furnish this testimonial In order that others may be induced to srive it a trial and prove to themselves Its recuperative powers. "--Mbs.
