The Bureau of . Statistics of the Department of Commerce and I-abor has completed the figures for the eleven months end ing with November, and adding to conservative estimate for De fines that the total exports of manufactures for the full year will, beyond question, exceed 700 million dollars. Ten years ago. in the fiscal year, l^fiG. they amounted to but 2.5S millions: in 1S4. but 145 millions, and in 1X76. 105 millions. The share which manufa times formed of the total ex- PPTtS was. in 1906. 12 par oentt in jF-?o. but 30 per cent: in 1SS6. but. 22 per cent, an-1 in lS7t>- 20 per cent. Titus the exports of manufactures in 11*'S are three and one-ha!f times as great as a decade ago. and the share which manufactures form of the total exports about one-third greater than at that time. > This is the first time that exports of manufactures have crossed or even ap proximated the 700 million-dollar line. Even in the fiscal year 1900. which is only six months away, the total exports of manufactures were but CS6 millions: 1n 1905, C12 millions: in 1904, 323 millions; in 1903, ISS millions; in 1902. 454 millions: in 1901. 486 millions: in 1900. 484 millictns: in 1S99. 3S0 mil lions. and in 189S. 325 millions. Thus The largest amount disbursed In div idends this month by any one corpor ation was by the American Telephone Company, which distributed 33.173.236. The next largest amount was 33.967.- 990. paid by the I-ake Shore & Michi gan Southern Railroad. The largest interest payment by any one corpor ation was 33.305,244. paid out l\v the Great Northern, while the Canadian Pacific pain out nearly as much, the amount being 33.300.375. The United ! cm Ill oil. 44 millions manufacturers of iron and steel. 32 millions manufactures of wood, 27 millions leather and manu factures thereof, 16 millions naval stores, 13 millions agricultural imple ments. and the remainder miscellaneous manufactures. Of the 1S2 millions dollars' worth of Company of New York paid out 31.449. manufactures sent to the various 775. countries of North America. 72 mil- l- li ns was iron and steel manufactures, is millions wood manufactures. 10 mil lions cotton goods. S millions leather and manufactures thereof, and 7 ! i millions cars and carriages. The United States no wholds third rank among nations as an exporter of manufactures. The total exports of manufactures from the United King- do min the latest year for which sta tistics are available were 1.333 mil lion dollars; from Germany, 910 mil lions; from the United States. 700 millions: from France. 661 millions: from Netherlands, 347 millions: from Austria-Hungary. 215 millions: from Belgium. 204 millions: from Italy, 200 millions: from Switzerland. 141 mil lions. and from Russia, 117 millions. It will .thus be seen that in this group ing of the world's great exporters of manufactures the United States now stands third in the list, though it is proper to add that the figures for the United States are for the calendar year 1906, while those for practically all the other nations quoted are for the year 1905. Manufactures form. however. a much larger percentage of the exports of the great manufacturing countries ! first, the close finish furnished plenty of excitement. To carry out an idea of Police Com missioner Bingham for a training es tablishment for tile horses and the mounted men of the police force the city has closed a contract for a plot of twenty-two acres adjoining Kissena Park, in Flushing, where the new es tablishment Is to be located. There, according to Gen. Bingham's States Steel Corporation paid out | plan, the horses and men of the force SI.530.375, and the Consolidated Gas ' are to be trained to the minute. The site selected is to cost the city 3105.- 000, ar.d when the ground is formally turned over to the police department there will be built an exercising track for the _hprses. New York's greatest art gailery is to remain undisturbed. The Supreme Court lias decided that the advertising signs in the subway must remain. Threats to tear down pleasing de scriptions of tile merits oi breakfast food or the Gentler] oil's H Journal are without avail. Ever s the subway was built and lease, the company controlled by August rr.ont the city has made one atte after another to compel the lesser remove the variegated posters and oth- j jjo VeTS of fine animal skins would er ( isplay signs from Lie hanusomclj j have been interested ir* the collection recently mounted at thr. workshop of a There also is to be laid out an ath letic field for the members of the force.

The, total person nel of postoffices during the year— about $15,009,000 tinexpec-tly large, and the returns for the first four months of the present fiscal year, indicate that the unprecedented gain is being main tained. So groat Is this gain. Mr. Hitchcock points out. that the addi- I tional appropration requested of Con- gress scarcely will be sufficient to | maintain the service.

The bulk of the talk is medical jar gon unrelieved by wit or paradox, fight or shade. In Rembrandt’s “Les son of Anatomy” attention is concen trated on the living doctors in the presence of death. In the lesson of Shaw psychology, neither life nor death commands the eye. Everybody has his mouth wide open. There is a confused murmur of voices In a far- • cical‘demonstration that while an ar tist. although a disreputable knave, ought to be allowed to live for the sake of great work, lie must be killed off by blundering doctors before his charming wife is disillusioned. When the doctor really responsible for her widowhood is prepared to claim her hand as a reward for protecting her ideals, she has married another man who is not even named. This is Mr. Shaw's way of. mocking the auditor? in the epilogue by reminding them that the story is not of any consequence and that thev have their money's worth in brilliant discussion, with the privilege of being oecasi nally shocked. They have had. for example, what is obviously designed to be a humorous death scene.

Bury St. Ed munds in arranging a similar fete for next summer, and loyal Winchester is moving in the same direction. Even sluggish Oxford has taken fire, and is to have a series of historical masquer ades to illustrate, not the lost causes of which it is sometimes described as the natural home, hut the glorious cycle of memorable events, from the founding of St. Frideswide's nunnery to the visit of the Allied Sovereigns. The money required has been subscrib ed; a corps of professors of history, ancient and modern, has been survey ing the ground; antiquaries are sup plying details of costume and armor; and if the right stage manager and drill master can be found, the pag eants will be a brilliant novelty during Commemoration Week next vear. The old-time town and gown riots will not be re-enacted, favorable though they might be for athletic display by the football teams: but the warriors of King Alfred can be marshaled to brave array and the battles of the Civ il War. when the colleges consecrated their plate in the King's fortunes, can be fought anew. Old Chester is also striying to pro vide a unique entertainment in the early summer.
