OF these eight failures only three were re-
ported az being caused by trade depression
The other FIVE were the result of attempts to do
business without capital, and therefore have no
weight rs indicating the condition of business
There is 8 general feeling of encouragement
among merchants over the crop outlook. Re-
ports from all sections indicate heavy crop of
produce with the exception of hops, the pres
ence of lice making the hop yield little doubt
full. And though it may appear that the crop
outlook locally, will have but little important
bearing on the business situation owing to the
limited amount OF agricultural land under cul-
tivation on the Sound, the fact is that it Ia one
OF the principal incentives to immigration; and
this, added 70 the increase OF business made
necessary in handling the crop, makes it OF very
great importance TO the business interests, not

Curiosisies of Chess.

Who really invented the game of chess history does not definitely prove but 1t is known that q Chinese man. darin 1900 years ago was able to soothe his troops when they were clamorous for home by proposing the game for their leisure hours when in winter quarters
 The game differs in the various coun- tries of the world. Thus. in the Hin- doc game four distinct armies arc em- ployed. each with their king. each corps counting among its fighters an elephant and knight which slay but cannot be slain. The Chinese game of chess which boasts of the title of choke choo-kong-ki (the play of tho science of war;. has a river running through the center of the board. which their elephants equivalent 10 our bishops, cannot cross. and there Is a fort which their kings cannot pass.
 Under the Sanscrit name of Chatur- anga a game essentially the same as modern chess was played in Hindostan nearly 5000 years ago. From Hin- dostan the game is said to have becn carried to Persia and thence to Arabia The Arabs introduced it into Spain and the rest of western Europe during the eighth century. where 1t became the principal pastime at the year 1000. There is record of Pope Alexander II. reproving a bishop for playing tho game and compelling him to wash the feet of twelve beggars as a punishment for his sin.

Is the Foreign Markc, A Curse

Cur enormous crops, with good prices, which would not be possible in the mar row confines of the home market. arc now teaching our farmers the value of their foreign market as they have never seen it before. While they are thus learning in most practical way the im- mense importance of the European mar ket, let them not forget what the pro- lection doctrine about that market is.
 The principal American book setting forth the doctrines of protection is that of Carey This is the greatest work yet produced by an American protectionist and our high tariff crowd are accus- toned to swear by Carey. And what says Carey about the foreign market?
 "Our country would be better otf if the Atlantic were an impossible ocean of fire, and a prolonged war between this country and our best customer, En- gland, would prove an advantage"
 Do the farmers think so? Let them imagine what would now be the price of wheat if the 200, ,OJO, 900 bushels which Europe will probably call for this year were kept at home to glut our own market
 But this queer doctrine is also tho doctrine of Mckinley Here are his words:
 "lf our trade and commerce are in- creasing and profitable within our own borders. what advantage can come from passing by confessedly the best market that we may reach the poorest by dis tant seas? In the foreign market the profit is divided between our own cit izen and the foreigner, while with the trade and commerce among ourselves the profit is kept in our own family and increases our national wealth, and pro- notes the welfare of tho individual cit izen."
 Yet "the poorest by distant seas is now booming the pri es of wheat tn a way to make the farmers smie Won d 1t not be wiser to court that market very vigorously by taking more freely what it has to offer in exchange?

CENTRIFUGAL FORCE.

\ simple but Interesting Feat Which H.
 illustrates a Great Natural Law.
 You may often see at the circus or elsewhere luggler place a glass Of water in hoop and whirl it rapidly round and round till it makes you gid dy to look at it. without drop of water escaping. The feat is based. as most people are aware. on the action Of centrifugal force.
 Here is a method of performing a similar feat not less startling says the Chicago Times, with the glass of water alone. no other apparatus being en- ployed. The gtss, standing before you on the table, you are to take in your hand to describe with it at arms length. a complete circle in the air and to replace it on the table without hav- ing spilled drop of the liquid.
 The secret lies mainly in the man. ner of holding the glass Instead of grasping it as if you were about to drink, take it with the palm outward and upward. Swing the arm boldly around and describe a circle without a pause but without excessive haste By beginning with the glass half filled with water and increasing the quantity us skill improves. one will be able after little practice to perform the experiment easily. It Is desirable to make the first attempts in the open air. An important point to observe is that there should be no hesitation or unevenness in the circular motion.

lBrain and Iss Covering.

It has been noticed by Henry Heath. who sends hats all over the world from Calcutta to Peru. that different nation alities possess heads of distinctive sizos and shapes For instance. Germans have very round heads a peculiariiy shared by our own royal family. The average English heads are what matters call n good shape-that is rather long. The Scotch, one is not surprised to learn, are very long headed. Canadi- ans arc distinguished by exceptionally large heads, South Americans by very small ones. Australians. again, have rather small heads. The sub ect is an interesting one and worth pursuing further if space allowed. The heads of individuals also vary good deal from time to time, shrinking during illness or mental worry. and generally becoming smaller with advancing yeara As to shape. there is such a thing as fashion. but it only affects mashers; men stick to much the same shape year after year. -Pall Mall Ga 1ette.

rrotection's Check.

Tho great crops of all kinds of az glcul- tural products are now attracting uni verSai attention; and already tho protectionist organs arc congratu ating themselves that thesa big crops are go- ing to make the farmers so happy that they will forget all about agricultural depression and go on voting for the blessed high tariff.
 The organs do not even stop here, but have the sublime cheek to claim that these big crops are due to the Mckinley law Thus tha New York Tribune, tho chief sinner of them all, has the assur- ance to say: "The expansion of production at this time Is not entirely matt of luck. One principal object of the new tariff was to afford better protection to agriculture It contained new duties for the express purpose of enabling American farmers to secure tho homo market moro fully. At tho same time 1t gave them assurance of eKpan- sion of manufactures and establishment Of new industries, creating far greater hom demand for their products. Early last fail, aS soon as the new tariff mt into effect these result were perceived. American farmers, thus encouraged, in creased their production in every direc- tion, and so rapidly that they might have found reason to regret 1t if unusual for eign demands had not arisen. The en- couragoment of industry here was tho logitimatH fruit of tard intended for that purpose.
 But who can discover single farmer that planted more this year because of the Mckinl y awp Such atarmer ought to b, found at once for exhibition pur- poses. Any dime museum could offer him good salary

GYPSY LORE.
Strange Rites and Core emonles Still Ob-
 served by Them.

The wandering exiles whose origin has been traced to the Valley of the Indies, make it q rule to conform to the dominant crceds of their adaptive lands. They are good Mussulmen in Turkey. Roman Catholics in Austria and Protestant Christians in Northern Germany and the United States. But in addition to these dogmas of expe- diency. they profess tenets Of an elder creed which has been defined as sort of sun wurshi }. and involves rites which arc still observed at certain times of the year, or even publicly upon extraordinary occasions. A few weeks ago hundreds of gypsies assem- bled at Maseoutah, Ill.,. to attend the funeral rites Prince" Celiouka Laja, the young son of an influential chieftan. The body of the little nomad was buried with strange ineantations, after having been completely stripped and exposed for six hours to the hallowing rays of the sun.--Phila. Times.
