New YORK, January 16.-Special tele-
grams to Bradstreet's report check in tho
distribution Of merchandise throughout the
country during the earlier portion of the

This appears to have been universally recog-

As an outgrowth of the conditions noted 1t
is added that country collections In many
cases are reported slow. though this Is said

produce on the part Of farmers or to low
prices received therefor when sold. The

Died From n Malignant Pustuis.

WILMINGTON, Del, January 16.-Satur.
day last Albert Soaring, boolSkeeper for
Charles MullIn, morocco manufacturer Of
this city, noticed pimple on the upper
part OF bis right arm. It was rather pain
ful and resembled erysipelas. Although a
physician was consulted Searing's arm be-
gan to swell until Monday, when matters
began to look serious. On Tuesday after
noon the man died from what the physicians
in attendance declared was malignant
pustile. It was supposed that Soaring,
while handling hides, scratched lmple on
his arm and inOculated himself, as the sore
resembled very much vaccination that was
''taking' well. II is supposed that the
cause Of death was from an animal poison
secreted in hide taken from diseased ami
NAL. The affection, which is known as a
malignant pustule or anthrax, Is terrible
malady, causing many deaths, ninety per
cent. Of those inoculated dying. Soaring
was forty-sIx years Of age the day he died.

Facts About the Mule,

It is said that mule cannot bray if
you tie weight on his tail and hold it
down. This was touchingly illustrated
in the cavalry movements that preceded
the second battle of Manassas. General
Stuart, with large force of cavalry
meneuvering around the retreated army
of Pope, got caught betweed two columns
of the Union troops, and was obliged to
conceal himself in dense wood between
two parallel roads along which the enemy
were retreating. He had to lie low all
night until the columns passed by. Mes
sengers that the Union Generals sent to
each other through the woods were cap
tured and held with as little noise as
possible. One great difficulty was to
keep the mules in the ordnance and COM
missary wagons from braying and thus
calling the attention of the foe. For this
purpose Stuart ordered man to be
detailed to stand by each mule and whack
him with stick as soon as he offered to
bray for a mule like an orator, requires
a certain preparation before beginning

Alderman Bernhard. At the Office of
the Alderman, Layman related this story /:

Drying Tomatoes.

In Italy an extensive business is car
ried on in drying tomatoes to use during
those portions of the year when fresh
fruit cannot be obtained. According to
the Rural Record, tomatoes are grown,
for the most part, between rows of grape
vines. Sometimes the tomatoes are
trained on the lower bars of the trellis to
which the vines are attached. The
tomatoes are allowed to remain on the
branches until they are quite ripe. They
are then picked and pressed in bags made
of coarse cloth, which allows the pulp to
pass through, but which retains the seeds
and skins. The pulp is then thinly
spread out on cloth, boards, or in shallow
dishes, and exposed to the sun 10 dvy.
When it has become quite dry, it is brok'
en- up fine, or ground, and put into boxes
or bags and sent to market. A large part
of it IS used for soups, but considerable
portion is employed as we do tomatoes
when preserved in tin or other cans. It
is soaked for few hours in warm va.
ter, and then cooked in the ordinary
manner. There is q great prejudice
against canned tomatoes, many being
unwholesome. The acid juice which
they contain unites with the solder
of the tin cans and forms disagreeable
compound.
