In this branch OF trade the indications
are favorable for good business during
the fall and winter. So far the trade has
been principally in light trinkets, but
has has been sufficiently so that no
complaint can be made. .Drummers re-
port heavier sales than usual everywhere.

sell quite readily. The usual summer
falling off in business has been less than
last year, and a iirst.class business is ex-
pected as soon US the cool weather sets in.
The trade in "fashiohs," which has come
to be a legitimate branch Of the sewing
machine business, is very fair. Ladies
find it particularly advantageous to buy
the cheap patterns and make UP their
own garments and those oftheir children.

NE HARDWARE BUSINESS

The HARDWARE BUsINEHs
is quite fair, though not so brisk as last
summer. Prices have dropped nearly
one.half in the past year, which OF course
makes big difference in the amount oil
money handled. A leading hardware
merchant assured our reporter that the
amount OF building going on in the city
and vicinity much exceeded that Of any
season since 1866. Business is growing
brighter every day and much is hoped

Trout Culture.

In communication to Forest and
Stream, Mr.. NJ Goldsmith, one the Fish
Commissioners for Vermont, states the
results of an experiment in trout cul-
ture, which. if verified. cannot fail to
have great influence on the develop
ment of artificial tish-breeding. Mr..
Hale, of the town of Rutland, has for
some months fed the trout in his ponds
with bread made of Indian-corn. He
adds to the meal little sugar or mo-
lasses of the cheapest sort, and it is
stated that the trout eat the bread thus
prepared with as much avidity as they
do chopped liver or other animal food.
The fish are in good condition. though
they do not grow quite so rapidly; per-
haps. as they would on a flesh diet.
Their flesh is firm and has fine flavor.
This discovery, adds Mr.. Goldsmith.
makes trout culture not only possible in
localities where it would not otherwise

economical Whether the vegetable
diet can be rigidly practised. is Il matter
for further inquiry. Even if the result
should prove that a certain quantity of
animal food is necessary to the most
perfect health of the trout. it is still Il
fact of great value that they can live.

Trapping Wild Turkeys.

There is touch of cynic humor in Il
peculiar mode of trapping wild turkeys
in Virginia. az described hy writer in
Forest and Stream. Having discovered
one of the familiar hnunts of the birds.
the trapper digs Il trench eighteen inches
deep and about rs wide, and four or five
long. with a slope from the outer end
deepening to the middle. 4 pen of
fence-r rails is now built, the first rail being
laid across the middle of the trench
this is the width of the pen. and it has
the length of two rails. 1t is built to
the hight of eight or ten rails and COW
cred over with the same. Some grain
is now scattered around and in the
trench. and large quantity within the
pen. The turkeys get on the train of
bait leading into the pen. and with
heads down, eagerly picking up the
grain. they go under the sill-rail III quest
of food. Half dozen or so will per-
haps enter in thus. and then they find
themselves imprisoned. They go round
and round to find an exit. but it never
occurs to them to look dorm. and thus
they never find the passage through
which they entered.

John Mccullough describes the last

died in Louisville. Kentucky. If yellow

year. She performed the Queen to his
Hamlet. and he draws the following
vivid portrait of the dying actress ''She
was dying. nay. almost dead, at the time.
Her limbs were rigid and her features
so contracted that only the eyes and lips
moved. Her disease made her face a
very dark saffron color; she looked al
most as duslly as Othello. and her eyes.

weird in their expression. positively

perfect in her lines as when in the prime
of her career. only the mobility. the
ease. the motion. were lacking. hut these
were things of the past, and had their
being in the fullness of that vital spark
which was fast ebbing away. When her
last scene closed and she passed from
the stage through the entrance. one of
the ballet girls made movement to as
sist her down the steps that led to the
lressing-rooms. The kindly offer was
rejected with a dignified gesture, and
