THE condition of Pittsburg's trade can be
contemplated with uncommon satisfaction.
Conservative observers believe that the iron
business will continue to improve, not fever

lively fall trade are plentiful. The rail-
roads complain that they have not enough
cars to carry away all Pittsburg's products,
and echoes of the complaint elsewhere show
that the country at large is unusually pros

CURIOUS HINDOO NOTIONS.
Some of the Supcrsiitions of the Couutr,
People of Bengal

Some of the Supcrsritions of tine Country
People of Bengal
From the Calcutta Times!
A curious light is thrown on the rural life of
Bengal by the contents of paper reprinted
lately in the annual report of the Bombay
Anthropological Society. From thus paper we
are told the following among other things:
Shouting the name OF the king of birds
(Garuda) drives away snakes. Shouting Ram,
Ram, drives away ghosts. Cholera that at
attacks on Monday or Saturday ends fatally,
but no cholera that attacks on Thursday The
Towering of bamboos augurs famine. In fam
ming, if the fan strikes the body it should be
thrice knocked against the ground. When
giving aims the giyer and receiver should not
be standing on different sides of the threshold
1t is bad to pick ones teeth with ones nails.
II snake is killed it should be burned, for it
is Brahman. At night the words snake" and
tiger" should not be used; call them creepers
and insects. Do not wake up sleeping ply
sician. A morning dream always comes to
pass. Devotion without headgear is wrong.
Iron is a charm against ghosts A black cat
with a white face is very auspicious.

Congress Under Queensberry RuIes.

From the Baltimore Americana
John L. Sullivan is rather undecided about
his future plans. He may go to Congress or
he may go to Jail, as either career is open to
him. As Legislator, he will be invaluable in
promoting the interests of his constituents, as
they may rest assured that either his motions
or their opponents are sure to be carried out.

place in the barn.
Since then he has performed the same act
every day, and seems to enjoy it.

An Elephants Memory.

A circus travelling through the country
parts of England stopped one day at
little town called Hythe. That night
when everything was quiet in the tent,
animals and employees all being sound
asleep, Clytie, one of the elephants, de-
liberately and without any uproar, broke
the chain that fastened her foot, and
leaving the tent started toward the center
of the town. Nobody was astir, and so
she had the way all to herself.
She proceeded without delay or hesi-
tation to little shop that stood on the
main street of the village, and finding 1T
closed, of course, she Immediately
forced an entrance with her enormous
head and was soon as busy an
elephant as you ever saw cramming
candy and cakes down her capacious
throat The man who owned the shop
came running in from the back room,
but Clytie did not pause in her lunch on
that account, nor did she pay any more
attention when he ran out again crying,
"Owl Owr' In fact, she totally disre-
garded the entire neighborhood when
they took up that cry of "Owl Owl!
But pretty soon little man came up,
who cried out in a sharp voice:
eli, there, Clytiei What dye mean!
Come out O that now, dye hear!'
And Clytie did come out, and in
great hurry, too, for the little man was
her keeper, and she not only had great
deal of respect for him, but she was
afraid of him, as well. But, after all
she didn't care much about it, for she
had Rlled herself with candy and cakes
and that was all she was after.
The most puzzling question was-hov
did she distinguish a candy shop from
any other shop in the village? The shop
man gave the answer to this himself-h'
had fed an elephant candy at that yer!
shop twelve years before, and inquir.
developed the fact that Clytie was tina
elephant. She had remembered the shol
that was all.--St. Nicholas.
