Credit Record.

The jobbing trade, as reported to Mr.. Q,
p. Johnston, of Bradstreets, was very sat
isfactory, and shows decided increase.
The spring and early fall sales were good,
but orders towards the close slackened up
some, due in large measure 10 the money
stringency.
LOST TRADE RECLAIMED.
In 1889 there was quite loss Of trade in
a section of North Carolina where Rich.
mond merchants always place large guam.
titles of goods. Much of this trade was re-
gained the past season and helped to IN.
crease the total sales. The merchants OF
Richmond do not depend upon nearby 10
calities as much as in former years.
SOUTHERN TRADE.
They are, however more than holding
their own in these sections and making
very material advances into South Caro-
Ina, Georgia, Tennessee, and points as fal
South as Texas. The business in Soutt
Carolina and Georgia has increased in par
ticular the past year and future prospects
there are very encouraging.
GOOD SHOWING.
The increases in sales in the various
branches vary from 5 to 40 per cent.
The failures were fewer the past year
which will make the profit account better
than in 1889.
The sales, rs shown by the following table
during the wear, were 1872 042 900, as com
pared with S29, 140, 900 in 1899, or an increase

And with it many a hope forever unfulflled;
Full many a Joy that erst We fondly
thought our own
Now nevermore may gladden. our sad
hearts.
For the old year now departs, but not
alone. oh not alone.
Not alone! oh would that We could say
That as the year has left rs, day by day,
Naught that we cherished, too, has passed
away;
But tbs not so, and we are left to moan,
The old year now departs, but not alone
ali no. alone!
Bright. bright hopes, born and nurtured
but TO die.
To pass from US cen as the old year has
passed by.
Not to be called back by human tear or
sigh.
How many joys and sorrows we have
known
In this old year that now departs-yet not
alonel
Good-by, Old Year the New Year ushers in
Thou'llt yield thy place without regret OF
And when thy child. the New Year, has
grown Old
When all the pages of its life are told
We who shall say "good-by" yet once
again may own -,
A higher wisdom than mere earth hath
known,
Tho this wear too, like thee. will then de-
part--and. like thee, not alone.

The Lion and the Human Eye

there was in the general theory that lion
can be kept in subsection by the mere
power of the human eye. He said II was all
nonsense. Lions. he sverred, were held in
subsection through fear. They are afraid OF
human being. A lion born in the jungle
stands in greater fear of man than hon
born and brought up IN captivity, for the
reason that to the captive lion the human
figure becomes familiar, and the element

The Utilization OF Niagara.

From information furnished by the Ca
taract Construction Company. at consul
tation Of the engineers of the company In
London, says Brddstreet's, II was decided IN
starting the tunnel from the lower river
that the portal should be so located as to
have it's floor twenty feet below the average
water level. the only part OF the tunnel
mouth showing above water being the
arched roof of nine feet radius. From this
opening the tunnel will be carried on Oh
up grade of o. per cent. (four feet per
1,OO0), making the floor slope less than the
hydraulic gradient required to enable, q
tunnel of 400 square feet section TO de-
liver the water required to give l2O, 900
horse power with head of lao feet. The
expected theoretical advantage to be gain
ed by treating the tunnel as full running
pipe was carefully discussed and antici-
pated by the partial submergence OF the
hoor of the tunnel by the water OF the
lower river for about 1000 feet of its length,
and the possihletotal submergence or filling
from above by an adjustabls regulator at
or near the discharge mouth of the tunnel.
The required hydraulic slope that may
eventually be wanted is perhaps OF per
cent. q feet per 1000 or what will give
mean velocity of current OF about Is feet
per second. speed no greater than already
exists in some parts of the Niagara river
below the falls. II will doubtless be some
years before the capacity OF the tunnel
will be taxed TO its utmost, and until that
time comes the tunnel viii be q stone-wall-
ed waterway with an arched roof above
