WEEKLY REVIEW.

The volume of trade continues in all &C.
partments with about the same degree Ct
az tivity as characterized the market last
week. Assllted orders are coming in rather
more freely, while seasonabe specialties are
in rather better demand. Quite number of
changes have been made in prices in grocer
les, drugs. hardware and dry goods. The
tone of the market seems to be somewhat
stronger. Groceries are active under a good
and more active request. Coffee is lower
Woodenware has made a sharp advance
Salt has decliped. Sperm and lard Oil has
declined. Hardware is very &C i've. with prices
ruling firm, with few exception S, viz: tin and
lead, which now are very low COM
pared with a few weeks back. With the pres
no one hesitates to buy. Our jobbers, whose
trade in hardware runs largely into Northern
Minnesota and Dakota, are particularly jubi-
liant over the prospects of the crop, claiming
that they have never had before such an out
look as they have at present. The dry goods
lrade is very active particularly i'll all sea-
sonable goods. Generally speaking, all are
buying freely. Quite a number of changes
have been made in prints and ginghams

A Laughing Rooster.

The historian of the Boston Record
has small nephew who says some
cute things once in a while. He no.
tees animals a great deal. The other
day. while out walking, he became
much interested in the movements of
lot of feathered beauties, headed by
handsome rooster, which were crossing
theroadway just ahead. They got over
in safety, but one Of the fowls had
narrow escape from being run over by
a passing team, and her frantic at
tempts to flee from impending danger
excited him considerable. Just as she
reached the sidewalk the rooster
crowcd Justify, and Master Bert turned
to the historian with indignation in his
tone Uncle, uncle" he cried, isn't
that rooster naughty to laugh at the
hen 500"
He once accompanied his parents and
the historian on 4 pleasure trip down
the harbOr When our destination was
reached he placed his small hand in
the historians I 81 palm and an
nounced his intention of walking out
With him. 1t 50 happened that roast
veal had been the principal feature on
the dinuer-tab!e the day previous, and
the historian, in answer to sundry
questions, had given his nephew con
siderable OF lesson on the subject.
We had not gone far before he spied
COW and calf in an adjoining field. Full
of the Importance of his discovery he
ran back 10 his mother as fast as his
Ices would carry him, shouting in his
ShrilleSt tones:
mamma mamma. come quick and
see the cunning little yeal"''

Repose in the Pulpit.

The COrnAiU Magazine contains
ONE amusing "reminiscences of a
clergyman. One parson of his youth,
he says, went fast asleep while he was
preaching. He was always slow and
on this occasion got slower and slower
till he stopped altogether. This woke
up those who nodded, and on looking
towards the pulpit they saw him sleep
ing while he stood. He passed from
q sermon into a snOre. So did another
preacher in Rutlandshire, as related
on the authority of "a parson there. :"
The second sleeper had gone to take
the duty of a neighbor a few miles off
i'll August. He walked to the church,
and being in good time looked into the
vicarage. A servant said: You seem
tired, sir; won't you have a glass of
ale after your wake" Yes, he would,
and he did, and felt refreshed. The
afternoon, however, was very hot, and
the rustic congregation who had been
reapiug and binding all the week most
ly fell asleep. There was anasal muir
muring among the people. The doors,
too, were wide open, and the humble
bees sailed slowly down the aisle adding
to the hum. Thus when the preacher
went into the pulpit he caught the
sentiment of the congregation, and
after putting his face reverently be-
tween his hands for few seconds,
remained in the same attitude fast
asleep.

A CARD OR A PHoToGRAPH2-"Wou
you rather have my card or my photog-
rapb2'
Two young men who had been dicuss-
ing a bottle of wine in an uptown picture
gallery were preparing to part.
Your card will do; 1 don't want to
put you to SC much trouble"
"No trouble at all. If you like I'll
put my portrait on the back of the card. "
He thereupon drew from his pocket a
small rubber stamp and imprinted on the
back Of his card very creditabIe like
ness of himself.
An inquisitive reporter, who over
heard the dialogue, took pains The next
day TO learn TO what eyteut the fad had
gone. He found that there are several
concerns in the city where portrait
stamps are made, similar in style to the
rubber stamps, containing ones name
and appended to it pocket lead pencil.
These stamps cost from s. to So each,
and are from one to three inches square.
Ali the stamp makers require is tin
type portrait of the customer and a
money order. The stamps wear well
and are much affected by young clerks
and East side business men.-New York

THE BURMAN AND HIS FOoD
BurmGu is rather peculiar feeder, not
being very nice in his selection or pre-
paration OF food. He is not, however,
so varied a caterer, nor does he take III
such large selection, as his near relat
ion the Chinaman. The Hurman draws
the line at rats and mice, which delicacies
form no portion of his daily fare. He is
forbidden by his religion to shed the
blood of any animal for food purposes
alone, although he may and does catch
fish, and eats them. His conscience
finds a salve in the fact that after the
fish are caught they are left to die; he
will not bleed them, although he may
often give them sly knock on the head
TO accelerate their decease. He may
keep cattle, hogs, chickens, ETC., and,
being OF kind and humane disposition,
he feeds them well, keeping them in
good condition, but be does not do SO
to replenish bis larder. He uses the
milk of the COWS, often of the tame long
horned buffalo or of goats, for his family
or for sale; he will also eat the eggs of
fowls.-San Francisco Chronicle.

KILLING AN Ok WITH DIAMoNDs.-A
story from the diamond fields. A kaffir
was suspected of being in possession of
uucut diamonds, and was pursued by
the officers of the law. When they
came up with him he had just shot one
of his oxen. Then they proceeded to
search him. They rausacked his seanty
clothing, they combed his woolly head,
they tried all the usual processes, but
never a diamond did they find, finally
they had to retire discounted. Then
the Kaffir proceeded to pick out from
the dead ox's carcass all the diamonds
with which bis gun had been loaded,
and which he had fired into the unfortu-
nate beast when he saw the officers ap-
preaching .-London Globe.

THURSDAY, JUNE Z.
Chicago Ladies.

Still it remains true here, as else
where in the the United States, that
women are in advance in the intel
lectual revival. One cannot predict
what will be the result of this CONT
Mental Juror for literary, scientific, and
study clubs-in some places in the
East the literary wave has already risen
to the height of the scientific study OF
whist-but for the time being Chicago
women are in the full swing Of literary
life. Mr. Browning says that more OF
his books are sold in Chicago than
in any other American city. Granting
some affectatiOn, some passing fashion,
in the Browning, Dante, and Shaks-
peare clubs, l think it is true that the
Chicago woman, who is imbued with
the energy of the place, is more serious
in her work than are women in many
other places; at least she is more en-
thusiastic. Her spirit is open, more
that of frank admiration than of crit
icism of both literature and of authors.
This carries her not only further into
the heart of literature itself, but into a
genuine enjoyment of it-wanting al
most to some circles at the East, who
are too cultivated to admire with
warmth or To surrender themselves to
the delights Of learning, but find their
ayocation rather in what may be called
literary detraction, the spirit Of being
that of dissection Of authors and books,
much as social gossips pick to pieces
the characters of those of their own
set. And one occupation is as good as
tho other
Chicago has some reputation for
beauty, for having pretty, dashing. and
attractive women; it is as much en-
titled to be considered for its intelligent
women who are intellectually agree
able. Comparisons are very unsafe,
but it is my impression that there is
more love for books in Chicago than in
New York society, and less of the crit
cal, NIL admir0ri spirit than in Boston.
1t might be an indication of no value
(onIy of the taste of individually that
books should be the principal ''favors"
at fashionable german, but there is a
bookstore in the city whose evidence
cannot be set aside by reference to
any freak of fashion. - Charles Dudley
Warner, IN Harper'S Nagazinc

FORESTS AND RAlNFALL.-Forestsa are
are known to diminish evaporation and
explained by lower temperature and
greater humidity which exists under
their shadows. The most important fac
tor in the production of this state of af-
fairs is however, the resistance which is
offered to the winds by the woods. The
force Of the wind being greatly reduced
under the trees, the mir is changed more
slowly, and the moisture less readily car
ried away. The quantity of rain increases
in the vicinity of forest. During the
rainy season the moss and heritage of
woods store mp the moisture for con
sumption during the dry season, and it
is in this way that lnxuriant forest
growths are permitted to flourish in re-
gions where it never rains except in TIE
fall and winter, as is the case on tue
coast of the Caspian sea--Globe Demo

CLARET AND OYSTERS. Walters in the

CLARET AND OYSTERS. Walters in the
restaurants, particularly where table
d'hote is served, say they can always tell
lady who was reared in the country.
The lady may have been New Yorker
for quarter of century, and the sharp
brilliancy of her diamonds and general
adornmenU may convey the idea that she
is one of the grand danes OF the city,
but when she gets to her claret it is all
up with her. The walters say that nine
out of ten snch ladies' put sugar in their
clarct, and this is supposed to shock a
thoroughbred New Yorker. Perhaps
the walters discover her at the start
when she tackles the oysters. Many
ladies, whose girlhood homes were in
the rural districts, insist on using vim
egar, pepper and salt in big doses on
their oysters, and this also is supposed
to be contrary to the ideas of the born

A new process of setting milk is now
advertised, which, for novelty rather
takes the cake. It is called the "Top
can separator" Two cans are used, one
set on top of the other, the upper one
being large enough to contain the cream
from the milk that both cans will hold.
An open valve in the bottom of the up
per can allows the cream to rise and fill
it. The skim milk passing down to the
lower one. Both cans are set in water
and when ready to skim all that is nee

AMMONIA IN BAKING POWDERS.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific american.
Among the recent discoveries in science
and chemistry, none is more important
than the uses to which common ammonia
can be properly put as a leavening agent,
and which indicate that this familiar salt
is hereafter to perform an active part in
the preparation of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an exceed
ingly volatile substance. Place a small
portion of it upon knife and hold over
a fame, and it will almost Immediately
be entirely developed into gas and pass
off into the air. The gas thus formed is
a simple composition of nitrogen and
hydrogen. No residue is left from the
ammonia. This gives 1t its superiority
as leavenlng power over soda and cream
of tartar used alone, and has induced It's
use as supplement to these articles. A
small quantity of ammonia IN the dough
is effective In producing bread that Will
be lighter, sweeter and more Wholesome
than that risen by any other levening
agent. When it is acted upon by the
heat Of baking, the leavening gas that
raises the dough is liberated. In this
act it uses itself up, as 1t were; the am
monia is entirely dffused, leaving no trace
or residuum whatever. The light, fluffy,
naKy appearance, SO ueSlrdble III DuscuulS,
etc, and so sought after by professional
cooks, is said to be impaired to them only
by the use of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder manu-
facturers producing the finest goods have
been quick to avail themselves. of this
useful discovery, and the handsomest and
best bread and cake are now largely risen
by the aid of ammonia combined, OF
,,nI
Ammonia is one of the best known pro-
ducts of tle laboratory. Ii, as seems to
be Justly claimed for it, the application
of It's properties to the purposes of cook
ing, results in giving us lighter and more
wholesome bread, biscuit and cake, it will
prove boon to dysreptic humanity, and
will speedily force itself into general use
in the new field to which science has as
stoned it.

chiefly in PapaDtla and MIsantla. It
grows wild. and is gathered and market

from the forests the beans sell at SO or

dried and cured they are worth from 81

Last year the vicinity of Papsntla alone
exported 60,O0O,000 beans. They are
used by druggists and confectioners, and
are an important article of commerce.
