THIS OFFICE -
trade in all lines of goods which
this country buys or sells in Eu
rope.
As it is now, although the south
furnishes the. crop upon which,
more than any other export item,
our foreign trade is based,the whole
of the export crop has to be moved
with New York exchange. In the
course of lime the increase of di
rect exports of cotton will remove
this tithe which New York levies
upon the south. Larger exports
have already brought the southern
cotton houses into closer business
relations with the European capi
talists and the entering wedge of
direct trade has been driven home.
Nothing shows this so plainly as
the Scares. In 1888-89 New Or
leans sent to foreign ports L 489,-
487 bales, and" in 1S89-90 she sent
1,840,597. Galveston increased her
exports from 2S2,223 bales to 446,-
73k Savannah ran hers' up from
323,879 to 531,419, andBrunswick’s
exportation increased from 84,970
to 117,945. Willmington and Nor
folk showed a slight increase while
Mobile and Charleston together
showed a decrease of 20,000 bales.
Thus in one year the exports from
eight leading southern ports have
increased 736,000 bales.
The total exportation of cotton
from the ports of Texas, Louisans,
Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina and Vir
ginia for the past year was 3.S41,
407 bales, worth 8150,000,000.
This gives a magnificent founda
tion for foreign trade, and the won
der is that with so mnch to trade
on we have not gone to headquar
ters before.
The Financial Chronicle accounts
for the increase of southern ex
ports by the statement that the in
terstate commerce law has been
much more rigorously enforced
within the last eighteen months
and the short haul alone prevents
rail routes from making rates low
enongh to com pete wit h. short rail
and Jong water routes. Be this as
it may, anything which tends to
nromote direct exports from the
southern states does that mnch
toward laying the foundation for
direct trade between these states
and Europe.
Added to this, western products
are beginning toloox to southern
ports for competitive outlets, so
that they" may not be at the mercy
of northern east-bound railways.
Kansas City capital is interested
in a short route through Memphis,
over the Macon and Birmingham
road to Georgia ports? and theie
are rumors of a great trunk line
from Chicago. The tide of com
merce is setting toward the south
as 5 never has before. Now is an
auspicious : time for a concerted ef
fort for direct trade. The condi
tions of commerce are ripe for it
words. Single speeches delivered
in the usual tone and at the cus
tomary rate of speed were readily
taken.
The words of the speaker were
repeated into the mouthpiece of
the phonograph by an operator
talking into the machine in a low
tone of voice, which is further muf
fled by the surroundings of the ap
paratus. As a matter of conve
nience the reporter has two ma
chines at hand, as the cylinders of
each can be more readily handled
if they are constructed to contain
1,000 words only, and by having
two instruments he does not even
have to stop to change the cylin- j
ders. He is, in fact, an oral sten
ographer. The report is trans
cribed by a typewriter, who site at
the typewriting machine with the
tubes which connect with another
phonograph to which the cylinder
has been transferred at his ears.
The copyist can regulate the speed
of utterance, repeat a passage, or
go back to correct an involved sen
tence as if he followed the copy
with his eye.
The extent to which the use of
the phonograph is growing is a
surprise to most people. Five
hundred instruments are in use in
the transaction of current business
in New York city alone, and one
firm engaged in taking messages
to a large extent, employs more
than a score of the machines in
the place of twice that number of
stenographers. It was stated at
the convention above referred to
that nearly every committee of
congress employed the phono
graph, and that the official report
ers of the House of Representa
tives had taken up its use. There
are more than forty companies in
different parts of the country en
gaged in inducing the use of it
The bulk of human and artifi
cial hair, and in fact of hair goods,
is imported, about ninety per cent
in fact Of the the two, human
hair is the most called for. “Hair-
raising” is a sort of industry in
Europe. The peasant girls, whp
are much in the air, get their heads
cropped once a year, and thus fur
nish a portion of the supply. They
are satisfied with a stipend
so small that an American woman
wonld scorn to touch six times its
value. Of the material imported,
France" supplies half the trade,
and England and Germany divide
the rest The raw material finds
its way here in great quantities
and is made up on this side of the
water. The business is young yet
in this country.
People speak of black hair, but
there is no such thing. The dark
est hair, at best, is but dark brown,
as will be seen by a separate test
of each shred. The darkest hair
is common to the Chinese race.
This is used to a large extent in
this country in cheap work. The
best blonde hair comes from Swe
den. Medium shades are best se
cured in Russia. The best grades
of all qualify come from France.
The durability of hair is little
understood. If properly preserved,
hair will last forever. An instance
recently came to light through the
press of a peculiarity of hair. A
lady had been buried about a year.
It was finally determined to move
the body. When the remains were
unearthed, the flesh had all decay
ed; but the hair had so grown that
the coffin was full It has been
found, however, that such hair is
not durable; it is brittle, and with
out vitality.
Considered from the standpoint
of her head, woman is, to say the
least, peculiar.

To sum up the position, Smyrna
