duced bill of that kind, and I have
heard such general expressions Of favor
about it that l anticipated that there

presented different states of facts and
should be acted upon separately. He

Condition OF Trade

New York Nov. 19.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says: No important
changes appear in the condition of business,
the distribution of products continuing enor-
nous. Tho production by manufacturers is
greater on thu, whole than in any previous
year. and. while some hesitation Is seen
about entering into new accounts. the gen.
eral tone of business and industries is re-
markably healthy. Milwaukee reports
larger trade, with good demand for money
Jobbers at st. Paul report backward collec-
tons. At Kansas City cattle receipts are
large. hut grain receipts light. Money is In
better demand and business fairly active.
October exports of principal products were
S15.o:hI.4l0 smallcr than last year, and In
two weeks of November the decrease has
been $2.OOO.F1. This fact. with a large in
crease in imports. has caused an advance In
foreign exchange to $4.S7l5 and, with
money dearer at London and cheaper here.

\ year or two after our late war
Jefferson Davis held reception at
the house OF one OF his Maryland
friends. Here he met many people
who not only sympa,hized with him
in his grief over the fortunes OF the
South, but had also a warm personal
feeling for him.
Through the kindness OF Horace
Greeley and Others he had Just been
released from Fortress Monroe. where
he had suffered so long and I'M ensely.
Among those who t1ocke,l to see him
was one oil man who had evidently a
good deal more depth o. feelin. tn n

WHEN, after quite Il long stay, he
was about to depart for home, this

warmly by the hand and -xcla med,

You live forever; and when you die,
may you die happy!'

THE HUNGER CURE.

In Siberia the hunger cure used to
be q very popular punishment, but now
when they have a political prisoner
who refuses to disclose secrets, they
SNIP Y keep him on Il diet Of sailed

generally brings confession when moth
iny else will. The fortunes OF the poor
victim suffering from W: ter under
these circumstances can better he
imagined than described. Something
akin to this is the agony undergone
by the friends OF q consumptive who
sees the dear form wasting away inch
b. inch upheld by hope, each day
drawing nearer the fatal circle OF the
grave, but each day thinking that
there is an improveme' over the
previous condition. The time to fi.ht
consumption is when the malady first
makes its appearance in form of Il
cold then it ear easily I've warded off

not be persuaded into allowing him
to give you something which h. says

that equals this great remedy. 1t

certainly cure you. Get it of any

Y awning,

Yawning is by no means o useless
act, for it often cures catarrh and
other affections of the throat, in
many cases giving instantaneous re-
lief. 1t produces considerable disten-
ton OF the muscles of the pharynx,
constituting a kind OF massage, and
under this influen e the cartillaginous
portion of the eustachian tube con-
tracts, expelling into the pharynx he
mucosities there collected. According
to M. Naegeli yawning is much more
efficacious for affections of the tube
than the methods OF Valsa' va or Pol
itzer. and IS more rational than the
installation Of air. which is often diff
cult to perform properly.-Medical
