TRADE AND COMMERCE..
Milder Weather Producing Good Results
Business Men More Cheerful.

INDIANAPohIs March 90.
The milder weather oday produced better
feeling in local commercial circles and if it only
holds out cannoD but exert good influence on
general business. There is nothing so much
needed now as seasonable weather, SO that out
door work of all kinds can be started and it
surely cannot be much longer delayed. We no
lice moro activity today in the wholesale
markets generally and good feeling existing
among merchants. The fact is that the volume
of business has been so unsatisfactory for many
months that anything in the way of a re-
yiyal is fully appreciated Under the head, ''Busi
ness Quiet but Promising the New York Even
ing Post of the oath inst says: THE unex-
peeted continuance OF wintry weather has re-
tarded the growth of activity in general trade.
but the movement to market of the various food
staples has nevertheless proceeded with almost
nnexampled volume. The shipments eastward
from Chicago. though only reported as regards
freights consigned to Buffalo and Pittsburg and
points further east, exceed former shipments
which included il, their totals the districts be-
tween those points and Chicago This great move
ment OF breadstufis, provisions and live stock
Is accompanied by singular dullness in specu-
lative transactions, and this fact while dsouiet
ing to the large number of persons who make
such speculations their business or diversion. is
valuable piece of testimony to the natural
character OF the improvement which business
has begun to experience. 1t Is OF piece with
the improvement noted since December in the
iron and steel business, and denotes the resump-
ton of ordinary buying and selling by men in
the regular channels Of business, and the grad
dual disappearance of that feeling of distrust
which caused merchants to rub along without
replenishng their stocks This return to usual
habits. as has been pointed out before is the cs-
sential fact IN return Of confidence, and is the
sure forernnner of that increased activity of what
Is called legitimate business, without which
new enterprises remain neglected or only under
akcn on small or individual scale. Poll ties,

 The zereba is a striped animal of the order of PachydermatA It is graminivOr- oUs. and usually formed of sand and water barrels. It's chief habitat is central Asia. but it also frequents the neighbor- hood of Tamai where LnClishmcn get in side it for the purpose of being killed by Arabs. lt has been supposed that the wooden horse of Troy was a zereba In the desert where grass is scarce it will eat sOldiers-Graham iei ones preferred One of the zerebas most famous in history Was that manufactured by D. T. Earuum. He made it Jut of a brOnchO with a paint brush and two pots of black and yellow paint One day one of the water barrels burst and washed the paint oH He ex- plai1ed 1t by saying that the animal had zerebrO spinal meningitis. \ small zereba is called a zerebe.lum.

PEOPLE do not seem 10 profit by the
 dreadful experience of the thousands ol l unfOrtunatcs who have passed away ID . cloud of flame while attempting to light
 fire by means of a can of unctuous and
 innocent kerosene. The records of our
 country show that this agency IS &C.,
 credited with large and constantly in-
 creasing percentage in the mortuary
 reports, and many a white winged angel
 must shuider with a reflection upon the
 terrors of even q brief kerosene sheol
 and congratulate itself upon its narrow
 escape from an eternal abode in one of
 the sulphurous, oil orthodox kinds. In spite of all warnings, in order to save
 little time and trouble, the thoughtless housewife will reach for the kerosene
 can to give little warmth and energy
 to the smouldering embers, and she scarcely gIves a thought to the possible consequences. She has become familiar
 with ;he fluid and can see no germs of death in it's amber depths; besides, she knows that her motions will be too quick for the leaping flames; but ia her careless familiarity there turks c danger so horrible that its fruition would wreck the mind and tor ture the flesh with paInfulness beyond human conception. A few days ago a little child at Nogales gave up its inno- cent life through this subtle agency and now our little neighboring town of Charleston, in Cochise county, IS m state of wild excitement and one of its best citizens Is almost crszed with grie. over the crisp and charred remains of a dearly beloved bride. Yet how few will change the dangerous habit of kind Iiog their fires with kerosene because 1f these frlghtful consequences. In Ari- zona the dangers from this source are greatly augmented by the intense heat | turing the summer months. It gener- stes highly explosive gas and is even | more dangerous than gunpowder to 4 zindle a fire with. If kerosene must be | used, nearly all the danger can be avoid sd by first pouring 1t into an open dish.

THE terrible exposures made by the Pal Mall Gazette depict a phase of moral leprosy existing even in the highest circles of English society that should bring the blush.to the face of civilization. Indeed the whole fabric of society is interwoven so Intricately with the vilest wool of vice and hypoc- ricy upon the gold-plated warp of re- spectability. that when it is torn asnnd- CT as the Gazette has success fully done, its hidsousness is indeed appalling. The result of the Gazette's disclosures will hurl many proud nobleman to the depths of degradation and will form a foundation upon which to rebuild the edifice of society upon basis of moral ity and virtue.

THE mails in Arizona, and more par ticularly the postal car service, need reg ulatiDg. It happens from one to three times 8 week that the California mail goes past Tucson to the east. to return seven hours later-and sometimes not at all. Nearly every day some of the Phenix or Prescott nail that reaches the railroad at MRricopR, comes to Tucson by the train from the east. Business men expecting important letters from California that required an answer by return mail the same day, have been put to considerable expense and great an- noyance by getting them by the eastern mail, seven holrs too late.
