Of tbe exports from tbe United States in the rame year, 67 per cent went to Europe, 17 per cent to North Am erica, 4 per cent to South Am erica, 8 per cent to Asia, 2 per cent to Oceanica and 1 per cent to Africa. A comparison with th e figures for earlier years shows a gradual decline in the share o f our imports supplied by Europe and in tbe share Europe takes of our expots. T h is is due largely to the enlargement of our trade w ith the O rient. Im ports from Europe have grown from $384,000,000 in 1896 to $641,- 000,000 in 1906; from North A m er ica, $134 000,000 in 1896 to $227,000,- 000 in 1906; from S iuth Am erica, from $112,000,000 to $161,000,000, but the bulletin adds that in 1906 they w ill fall about $14,000,000 below those of 1906, chiefly on account o f a reduction o f the quantity of coffee and In dia rubber im ported. From Asia the imports have grown from $78,000,000 to $163,000,- 000 in 1906. Exports to Europe have grown from $628.000,000 in 1896 to $1,021,000,000 in 1905; to North Am ercia, from $108,- 600,000 to $260.500 000; to Ssutb America, from $33,000,000 to $60 000,- 000, and to Asia from $17,330.000 to $128,600,000.

Mr. Perkins called W illie and Nero “ the chums,” and it was indeed seldom that the two were apart, except at school times and meal times, and when the sand man had paid W illie a visit; even at those times they were not far apart. When W illie went to school Nero trot ted along by his side, and, like the good fellow that he was, when they came to the door and W illie said, “ Now, old boy, you wait for me right here in the yard and be sure not to frighten any of the children as they come in. Tell me good- by now and be a good fellow,” Nero would wag his tail very hard, lick the hand that had been patting his heal so lovingly all the time W illie was talking to him, and then.
