TRADE AND COMMERCE.
An Improvement in Business Looked for
This Month.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 3.
There is fair degree of activity in the general
merchandise markets, yet there is plenty of
room for improvement, which our merchants ex-
pect the present month. The firm tone to the
sugar market continues. Coffees is reported
steady at the recent advances Trade has
frightened up little in produce circles within
the past few days, but it might be a good deal
better and still be nothing to brag of. The gen
eral position of the egg market remains I'M
changed. 1t regard to the immediate future
there is diversity of views some dealers are in
clined to hold with considerable confidence, be-
ing impressed with the belief that there will be
IN active trade until after Easter, while others
are disposed to meet the market whatever it may
be. Choice country and dairy butter is in de-
mand, and we can report regular sales at full
prices. Beans continue dull and there is not the
demand for dried fruit it was expected there
would be. The -four market continues in de
pressed condition. Speaking of the -four market
the Boston Journal says 1.-THE fact is, Western
millers are not able to purchase the best wheat
at price that would warrant them in submit
ting to any decline in the best brands of -four,
but they must be careful and not oyerstock the
market with even the best brands, as the pros
poets of the trade are not very encouraging at

The Wealth Of England.

1t would be impossible for a visitor
from the colonies not to be struck with
the evidences of the great wealth of
England. They abound on every hand,
but he who would realize it fully must
see London in the season. The world
can show nothing to compare with
Hyde Park on a fine day. 1t is not
merely the splendor of the equipaces,
the we'll dressed crowds, nor the beau
ty of the grounds which strike the
stranger most forcibly. These can be
seen in other great cities of the world.
Ii is their bewildering numbers which
fill him with wonder. The wealth, of
which all this is but the outward sign,
must be almost boundless in extent.
1t may not be out of place here to
say how refreshing it is to see men in
the park on every day of the week
alike who dress like gentlemen. Lon
don seems to be the last place in the
kingdom where men think it necessary
to do so. In every other town which /
visited what is termed the cattle drover
style of dress prevails. Tweed suits
and felt hats are worn by all. Singu-
larry enough. however, those who have
adopted the style of dress appear to be
secretly ashamed of it. For | have no
ticed everywhere on Sundays. after the
manner of coal beavers and other sons
of toll, they invariably appear arrayed
in their best apparel, including their
tall hats Nor is this habit confined to
the British islands; it prevails univer-
sally, and is probably merely an indi-
cation of the democratic spirit of the
age, which, having leveIed many
thrones and kingdoms is now occupied
in the humber sphere of leveling all
distinctions of dress.-CaSselrS Family

Poison Rolled in PAPER.

Speaking on the subject of tobacco
generally, and cigarette-smoking es-
pecially, the other day, a well-known
medical expert said to reporter for
The Ne1O York Mail and Express: eff all
the cigarettes that are smoked were
made Of secondhand tobacco, l believe
it would be good thing for the youth
of the country. By secondhand tobacco
l mean the old stumps which are
gathered by the ton about the city from
hotel cuspidors, saloons, ash-boxes, rail-
way waiting-rooms, and public places
generally"
What! Do you mean to say that
cigarettes made from such stock are
less harmful than if made from fresh,
pure leaf?"
Il do. In the process of transform
ing the filthy accumulations of gutter
and cuspidors into bright, finely flavor
ed smoking tobacco most of the de-
leterious substances of the tobacco are
extracted. The old cigar stumps, after
the charred ends are cut off, are
soaked in solution of ammonia and
some other chemical which takes away
nearly all the nicotine from the tobacco
and removes all traces of smoke and
creosote. This mass of pulpy tobacco
is then pressed in cakes and shaved
into fine shreds by cutting machine.
Then it is given bath in some bleach
ing solution which removes nearly all
the properties of which the weed is
possessed when it comes from the
plantation. Then it is dried, after
which it is passed under an atomizer
and dampened by means of prepar-
ton of gIycerine and some favoring
extract. Then it is ready for the
cigarette. So before it reaches the
consumer you see there is little, if any,
of the original tobacco left"

EARTHQUAKES and Luminous Paint.

The connection between earthquakes
and luminous paint would hardly be
apparent to anyone without explana-
ton. It nevertheless exists, and the
recent earthquakes in our own country
have served to remind us of its exis-
tence. As matter of fact, large con-
signments of this paint are sent to I hose
countries where earthquakes are pre-
valent. The use to which it is put in
vests it with the utmost Importance
just for the few critical moments of the
shock. In the Philippine islands,
where earthquakes are not uncommon,
small metallic plates coated with lumi-
nous paint are so placed about the
premises that at the first warning the
inmates are quickly guided to the door,
and thus to the street. In Manila it
is laid on in patches about the bed
rooms and stair cases, serving as guides
for the door-handles and the stairs,
night light being considered as es-
pecially dangerous as likely to set fire
to the falling houses, and thus to roas'
the inmates in their own homes. 1t
follows that those who live in districts
likely to be visited by earthquakes will
do well to adopt this plan, and to burn
no flame lights at night, especially in
the case of gas, the pipes for which
might be broken asunder, and the gas
escape and take fire. The gas should
be turned off at the main nightly, and
luminous labels be SO placed as to indi-
cate the door handles and other guides
to the main point of egress, which
would enable the residents to find their
way out of their house in the dark be-
fore the walls perchance buried them.
1t will be remembered that at Ischia
there was just sufficient time between
the first shock of the earthquake and
the downfall of the Grand hotel to per-
NIT those who acted promptly to save
their ives.-IrOn.

Berlin from India, where he has dis
covered the cholera germ, is described
as of medium height, very thin, with a
serious. spirtuelle students face. His
beard is brown, but his hair is becom-
ing gray, and this, together with his
glasses, makes him seem to be older
than forty years. There are those who
declare that the discovery may make
Koch as famous rs Jenner or Harvey.
The oldest travelling man in the
world was visiting in this city the other

The Story of General Hancock.

The presence of General Hancock in
town during the week revives many
"reminiscences of the gallant soldier,
says Philadelphia Press gossiper.
He always had quality of being lit
tie ahead rather than behind in the
execution of his orders, and the result
was that his command had great
deal of hard work to do. From
Spottsylvania to City Point it bore the
brunt of the battle, and when, after
Cold Harbor, Grant determined to
change his position to the south side of
the James river, the Second corps was
torn and shattered almost out of form.
With what men was left, Hancock
withdrew from his hazardous position
at Cold Harbor and marched south
ward. He was in serious frame of
mind and nearly heart-broken at the
condition of his command. He reached
the river in advance, and, as he was
standing upon its bank, staff officer
from headquarters rode up, saluted,
and said:
General, where is your CORPSE"
Hancock looked up, and, with the
deepest regret in his tones, said: 1T
is buried between the Rapidan and the
James"

Peculiarities Of Handwriting.

The different modes of shaking hands
will delineate human character better
than any other single act can do, and
many peculiarities of different persons
may be noted in the performance of
this social custom. Who would expect
to get a handsome donation-or dona-
two fingers to be shaken, and keeps
the others bent as upon an Itching
palm?" The hand coldly held out to
be shaken and drawn away again as
soon as it decently may be, indicates
cold, selfish character, while the
hand which seeks yours cordially, and
unwillingly relinquishes its warm clasp,
gives token of heart full of sympathy
for humanity.
How much that is in the heart can be
made to express itself through the
agency of the fingers! Who, having
once experienced it. has ever forgotten
the feeling conveyed by the eloquent
pressure of hand from dying friend
when the tongue has ceased to speak?
A right heart-grasp of the hand
indicates warmth and ardor, while a
soft, lax touch without grasp in
dicates the opposite characteristics. In
the grasp of persons with large-heart-
ed, generous minds, there is ''whole-
sour' expression most refreshing and
acceptable to kindred spirits, but when
q man presents you with few cold,
clammy, lifeleSs fingers, feeling very
much like dead fish, and expects you
to do all the shaking, it will naturally
make you think of the hospital and
other cheerful things.
Contrary to this style there is 8
habit among a rude class of giving
your hand crushing grasp, which is
often most painful. In these cases
there may be great kindness and a
''strong" affection, but it is as crude
as it is hearty.
If the grasp is warm, ardent, and
vigorous, SO is the disposition. Ii it is
cool, formal and without emotion, SO
is the character. If it is magnetic and
amin ating, the disposition is the same.
As we shake hands so we feel, so we
are-LOn6O1a World

Custom.House Night Inspectors.

The night inspectors are appointed
to prevent smuggling. are uniformed
and armed, and are authorized to stop
and search reasonably suspected per-
sons who may 60 on board or come
from the vessel. Their office is by no
means sinecure. 1t involves watch
ing, exposure, and fatigue. The Cuban
steamers have been wont to bring men
who inclosed cigars in rubber-bags and
threw them into the waters of the
lower bay. Confederates in boats then
picked them up, placed them in ex-
press wagons waiting on the shore,
and then drove rapidly away. There
is something contagious in the glee of
wide-awake officials as they relate
how they had watched unseen the
whole operation until the wagon was
ready to start, when they seized the
reins and landed the spoils at the seiz-
ure-room. One French steamer, no.
torious for smuggling by driblets,
when searched by this force was found
to contain 1900 bottles of spirits, which
it was intended to send ashore bottle
by bottle. Tins about an inch deep,
and fitted to the body under the arm
pits, have been taken from the bodies
of men who were thus stealthily bring
ing in valuable bay oil. One dealer in
human hair, who died in possession of
about $500, 900, was detected in illicit
importations under the shirts of his
AGENTS. Another vivacious fellow, be-
longing to French steamer, rejoiced
in a profitable trade in kid gloves, Sc
GREETED by the dozen in his immense
boots. Sailing vessels are watched by
special agents, whose duties are irk-
some enough to render special super
vision by supervisors matter of posi-
tive necessity. Dealers in contraband
goods, scamps who live by their wits,
and INSCRIPTIONS trades of many
kinds tax the resources of human inge-
nuity and craft to the uttermost. Logs
of foreign woods, cunningly excavated
and packed with cigars or spirits; cases
of boots and shoes. in the heels of
which watches and jewelry are hidden;
miraculous trunks, false as Machiavelli,
being thinly followed on side and end,
top and bottom, concealing laces, hair,
trinkets, etc, are among the common
devices of ingenious freebooters. Keen,
honest, true men-such as may be seen
on any tour of night inspection, like
mastiffs at their posts, and especially
if visitors be expected-are needed to
battle the plots of the rascals. Politi-
cal utilization constitutes no guarantee
of efficiency. The best attainable is
through rigid adherance to the rules of
the civil-service reform.-R. WhedtLeg
