Washington, Aug- 7.-Special: American farmers contributed overa billion dollars' worth of merchandise, or more than one-half of the domes tic products exported from the Uni ted States In tho fiscal year just ended. Of tho high-record exporta tion of $2,013,545), 025 worth of domestic merchandise in the fiscal year, $1,024,000,000 represented tho value of products drawn directly or indirectly from tho farm. Of the ton chief agricultural pro ducts ex po ?'ted, cotton leads with a total of $585,000,000, the next larg est items being, in the order named, meat and dairy products, $150,000, 000; breadstuffs. $1 2 1.000.000; un manufactured tobacco. $30.000.000; fruits and nuts. $25,000,000; oil cake. $20,000,000; cattle and other live animals, $10.000,000: cotton seed oil. $17.000.000; vegetables, $5,500,000, and bides and skins. $6,000,000-these ten articles alone Showing a total exportation for the year of $990,000,000.

Comparing the IOU ex ports with those of 1007, cotton In creased from $-181.000,000 in 1007 to $585,000,000 in the year just, end ed. This increase, however, is solely due to higher prices prevailing in IOU. sime ?n thal year hut 4,034, 000,000 pounds were exported, com pared with 4,518,000,000 pounds in 1007. In fact, cotton prices show a steady upward tendency, the average export price for the fiscal year IOU (LU/fcc. per pound) hoing the high est since 1873. Hog products have decreas? d in value of exports from $12-1,000.000 In 1007 to $100,000, 000 in 1911; beef products, from $39.000,000 to $11.000,000. and butter and cheese, from $4,500,000 to $2,500,000. Cattle and other an imals also share in 4he decreasing tendency, their eX|K>Ks having fallen from $41,000,000 in 1907 to $19, ooo.ooo In 1911. Breadstuffs show a marked decline, from $203,000,000 in 1 900 to 184,000.000 in 1907 and $124,000,000 In tho year just ended. This loss occurs chiefly In wheat and wheat flour," since corn exports in .1911 were $36,000.000 in value, compared with $25.000,000 In 1910, while those of wheat and flour as a whole showed In 1911 a total of only $71,000 000, compared with $95,000,000 In 19 10 and $122,000, 000 in 1907. Tobacco, fruits, nuts and vegeta bles, however, have moved counter to thc general downward trend in the movement of farm products, each of these classes showing gains not only over 1910, bul also over the high record year 1907.

Tho activities of Mrs. Carrie Na tion, while lecturing In a vaudeville .heater In Atlanta several years ago, aro recounted in an Interesting way hy John M. Gregory, her former press agent, lu an interview In tho New York Sun. Mi. Gregory, an old Al lantan, managed the publicity end Of Mrs. Nation's engagement at the old 101 Dorado, and framed up several of the stuns which brought her space in the newspapers. His interview was rendered timely by the recent death of Mrs. Nation. "The two dominant features of Carrie Nation's character wore dia metrically opposed," says Mr. Greg dry. "On the one side was the cru sader, the leader, the fearless fanatic boldly defying tho world, greedy for money and seeking the best method for getting lt, alive to tho value of advertising and quick to grasp the dramatic and sensational. "On the other hand was her sim ple, motherly character, as lovable as that of any woman I have ever known. Sometimes she would make one wonder how she could be the termagant she was. She rarerly re ferred to tier smashing tours, ?md when she did it was with a quiet lit tle laugh, her gray eyes sparkling and her fist clenched as she would describe how the men would flee the saloon by the rear door when she en tered the front. The waste, the in justice, the criminal side of her ac tions, never seemed to enter bei head. "Many of Carrie Nation's sensa tional deeds were inspired by bet press agents or the press agents ol the theaters in which, during a few years, she worked. She was keen too, in making her contracts. Sin received from $250 to $1,000 a wcel for lecturing at theaters and alway! with tho privilege of selling In th< lobby her llttlo gold hatchet pin: and the history of her lifo. Thii privilege would net her from $101 to $250 a week extra. "The first work 1 did for her wa as press agent for a theater In At lauta, Ga. The house was putting oi sensational plays at popular price and Carrie Nation was signed for tw twenty-minute lectures each day, fo which she received $500 for tho wee with the usual lobby privileges. Th house manager chose 'Ten Nights i a Barroom' for tho week's produotlo and Mrs. Nation's profits for thoo? riod ..mounted to nearly $1,000. "Jn spite of the money she mai] she refused absolutely to stop at first-class hotel. She preferred rt ther to go to a cheap place becaus sho said, she needed her mont more than tho hotel keepers did. "Not. a single suggestion made 1 me with a view to making her stay Atlanta more sensational was rejec ed by her. She arrived Sunday nig and early Monday morning began h crusade.

Egyptian Explorers Think Thai They Have Made a Great Discovery. Boston, Mass., Aug. 'i.-A new uii canonlcul gospel, containing many ut terances of Jesus, willoh are to-day unknown to tho world, ls believed to have been discovered in Egypt, ac cording to au otil?la! announcement from the Boston headquarters of tho Egyptian Exploration Kund. lu this work In Egypt enough an cient writings relative to ?he Egyp tians and Romans har. been dug up to furnish materiel for twenty large printed volumes. Prof. Bernard P. Gronfoll and Prof. Arthur S. Hunt, who are engaged In tho work of translating and issuing tho volumes, expressed confidence that possibly enough sayings of Christ may reasonably bo expected to constitute a complote f.aw gospel. One of the more recent transla tions of purported "sayings of Christ" ls Issued ivy Profs. Grenfell and Hunt. lt ls concerned with a conversation between Jesus and a chief priest tn tho temple at Jerusa lem, the episode, which ls of a dra matic, character, hiing preserved pretty nearly complete, according to the translators. Tho translation ls given as follows: "And a certain Pharisee, a chief priest, whose name was Levi, met them and said to thc Saviour: " 'Who gave theo leave to walk in this place of purification and to see these holy vessels, when thou hast not washed, nor yet havo thy dis ciples bathed their feet? " 'But, dollied, thou hast walked in this temiile, which is a pure place, wherein no other man walks except he has washed himself and changed his garments. Neither does he ven ture to see these holy vessels.' "And the Saviour straightway stood still with his disciples and an swered him, " 'Art thou then, being hero In this temple, clean?' "Ho said unto him, 'I am clean; for I washed in the pool of David, and having descended by one stair case I ascended by another, and 1 put on white and clean garments. Then I carno ana looked upon these holy vessels.' "The Saviour answered and said unto him: " 'Woo yo blind, who see not. Thou hast washed In these running waters wherein dogs and swine have been cast night and day, and hast cleansed and wiped the outsido stain. But I and my disciples, who thou sayest have not bathed, have been dipped in the waters of eternal life, which come from God, but woe unto them.' " Here ends the translation. "The chief point of Interest lies in tho reference to Jewish ceremonies of purifications," declare the trans lators, "in connection with the tem ple worship about which the author at first sight shows an intimate knowledge." Thus Josephus states that no Jew who was unclean had the right to be admitted to tho Inner court of the temple, I. e., that known as "The Court of the Mon of Israel." Earlier made translations of other fragments of so-called sayings of Christ are given as follows: 1. "And then thou shalt see clear ly to cast out tho mote that is in thy brother's oyo." 2. "Jesus salt li, except ye fast to tho world, ye shall In no wise find the kingdom of God, and except ye keep tho Sabbath, ye shall not see the Eather." 3. "Jesus saith I stood in the midst of the world, and lu the flesh was I seen of them, and I found all men drunken, and none found I athirst among them, and my soul grleveth over the sons of men, because they aro blind in their heart."

I asked her once why she did it. 'It's good advertising, son,' she smiled, 'lt gels tho people i ito tho theater, and we need tho money.' "Mrs. Nation cleared nearly $150, 000 from her lectures in churches and theaters. She would refuse, however, to go to a church If a Gloa ter made her a belter offer. A min ister onco upbraided her for this, but she snapped him up with 'When I fish 1 go whore tho lishe* are.' She died leaving an estate of only $10, 000.
