There are two barometers by which I make my observations on the special and on the general condition of trade in this coun- try, says Edward Atkinson. "The print cloth industry have observed to be the true barometer of the condition of the dry goods business, and the consumption of iron the barometer of the general business of the country. Print cloths are now act i've and sold ahead. The demand for iron is increasing, and the production is also in creasiDg."
 A scientific man says that he has made discovery. It Is that the worst air Is found in two strata: one near the ground every body knows thst-and the other at a height of about ninety feet. This height represents the average altitude of the discharge of gas, smoke, and offen- sive fumes given of by the factories and other industrial sppurtenances of city. It has also been found, within a few years, that one is just as apt to get malaria if he lives on a dry, well-drsined slope above a march or stsgnsnt water as if ne lived in the marsh.
 One of the old families of this country is brought into notice in Philadelphia by a unique relic of piano bearing the follow ing inscription: "John Jacob Astor sold this piano to one of the first families of New York more than a century sgo. MT. Astor is believed to have been the first piano dealer in the United States" Then follows copy of an advertisement In 6 New York paper, dated January 10, 17S9. It reads: "J. Jacob Astor, at No. s1 Queen street, next door but one to the Friends' Meeting House, has for sale an assortment of pianofortes of the newest construction, made by the best makers of London, which he will sell on reasonable terms. He gives cash for all kinds of furs, and has for sale a quantity of Canadian beaver and Can ada coatipgs, rsecoon skins, muskrat skins, etc."
 Old records say that the law once took hand in reducing the size of women's sleeves in Venice. That was in 1903, and its effect was soon seen in the extrsvsgant trains that women added to their gowns. As soon as the puzzled lawmakers realized what was the matter, they curtailed the skirt by a second ediot, to be again cir cumvented by the great msgnifcencs of both skirts and sleeves, which were blazoned with embroideries of gold and cat xpifh y,raoiouu akonas Thaaa foo yrara enacted out of fashion, but only while the women were getting breath for fresh contest and & sleeve that exceeded in cost anything that had gone before, for they were both wide and long, reaching even the hem of the dress.

Wonia1s's Danger.


 No man can ever know the devoted martyrdom of many women.
 Unselhshly a woman works and suffers that home and loved ones may be happy.
 When it seems as though her back would break, when she grows irregular, faint, irritable, loses all interest in society, gets the blues," is crushed with that indescribable feeling of "bearing-down," she "drags along" day after day, suffering agonies that would appal a man.

 Real jewels are being mounted to meet the demand for combinations of many col ors. The turquoise, until now never com bined except with the diamond, is set with emsralds and with fine effect. Opsls are set in amid alternate emeralds and rubies, and every bit of flame 1t has is bound to flash to such surroundings. Old silver settings are much used for buckles, that are rich with turquoise, earnets, emerslds and topaz. Pearls and amethyst are set with topaz and pale emerslds, and as the jeweler said, displaying a rich bracelet wrought with these jsms: Madam, If you will wear this you need really have on nothing else" Fans are jeweled with all pale stones, flashed to significance by here a ruby and there an emerald. Stones are seldom massed, the silver setting showing between and adding to the soft effect. All these jewels are so we'll counterfeited that If the rest of your attire appears above limitations you may safely risk a cheap copy of some of these jewsled trifes. Be- sides you may carry an old silver pocket book, an old silver ohatelains and an old silver belt and buckles, all softly rich with gems. FLoRETTE.

ton of increased immigration from the

VIII the corresponding period of the
previous year, there was falling off of
10000 and upward, and for the /
months Il falling off Of 10000. But for
the month of May, AS compared with
the corresponding month of 1899, there
was gain of 3,143. The details of the
showing are interesting. The largest
gain over last year was in Italian immi-
grafton, 1862. The largest loss was in
German immigration, 6, 1919. There was
a falling off in the immigration from
Great Britain of nearly 1000. and gain
in Austrian Hungarian of 300. There
were considerable gains from the Neither

MIRA. Gtanfort1'a Duty,


Tho end has come, and to Mrs. STAN
ford falls the melancholy duty of carry
ing out great educational scheme such
as the world as never seen. That this
scheme should originate in California
seems in keeping with q state which is
itself an empire, self feeding in almost
every particular, as great in beauty and
wonders as in size and natural products.
Fortunately for the university, Mrs.
Stanford was essentially her husbands
helpmeet. She shared his sorrows no
less than his joys She was a coun-
selor and friend to whom he confded
all his enterprises. Rising above per-
sonal loss therefore, Mrs. Stanford can
take her place at the helm and steer a
magnificent idea into the safe harbor
of accomplished fact. Hers is glorious
task, in the doing of which there will be
infinite comfort. Husband and son have
only gone before. and spiritual help will
come to her who humbly bears her cross
and dedicates her life to the advance
ment of humanity.-Kate Fields Wash

New Use For Spring Chickens.

Should the little daughter of Mr.. Ca
lissi ever recover she owes her life to an
Italian violinist in the city. Suffering
as she is with brain fever and the doc
tors giving up all hope of her recovery,
this morning she spoke the first word
and ate the first morsel she has for sew
eral days. A friend Of Mr. Calissi, an
Italian, visited the sick child and re-
marked had he known her condition a
day or two ago he could certainly have
saved her. However, he was willing to
try it, and going out he brought in a
number of spring chickens. Taking
live chicken he split open its back with
knife. opened it wide and placed the in
side of the chicken, entrails, blood and
all over the child's head AS soon as
the chicken began to get cold he would
open another and place it on in the same
manner.
About the time the second chicken be-
gan to cool the child spoke, and after
ward asked for something to eat. So
far 22 chickens have been used, and the
child is doing splendidly. What effect
the warmth Of the chicken and vitals
had upon the child's head the writer can
not tell, but should the child fully re-
cover the Italian professor wants the
credit. He says he saved his sons life in
to use As spring chickens. He prefers
rabbits when he can get them in his
