FINANCIAL NJ ,rTEns.
New York, in addition to being the
greatest seaport in the United States, IL
also the greatest financial center.
MANY OF the banks there have $3U, ,O00,-
600 on deposit, and some over this
amount. In addition to the money In
the New York banks for the purchase
of imported goods, and that received
from exports OF produce, nearly all the
western banks keep their reserve IN
New York banks on which they can
draw exchange. The result is that
there is an immense amount oil money
in the banks. At the present time they
have been collecting in and the western
banks have also been adding to their
reserve, and the result Is they have go
much ON hand they are simply lending
at the low rate OF per cent per annum
on called loans. OF course, these loans
are secured by stocks and bonds that
are listed in the market and are OF inn
mediate sale.
The Offering OF money at this low rate
has encouraged brokers and others TO
purchase stocks and bends, and the re-
suit is some activity in the market.
While the loans on real estate and on
time are not qnte as plentiiulIy offered,
still there is no doubt that the increase
OF money in the banke, that soon both
time loans AMI mortgage loans will be
offered at very low ratee. OF course the
New York bankers favor the repeal OF
the Sherman act. and they all say ii the
senate would Ivke immediate action that
times would ba much improved and
money much easier. In any case there
is no doubt fiat financial matters, not
only in New Yurk nut in all the eastern
states, are much easier, and there is lit
tie doubt that that by the first OF the
year everything will have resumed its
usual pros perity. VIAToR.

The s.a.ca. lA.ns a l.aumooiss.'

Away from the sights and sounds Of q
great city, with no fear of the snirch
from it's dusty streets and the WEAKNESS
from contact with its perspiring crowds,
beyond reach of the hum of the too IA
miliar and overfond mosquito, the sum-
mer girl has found convenient bough
from which to swing her hammock.
Her hammock is dainty affair of Mexi-
can grasses or OF multicolored cotton
cord, pillowed and valanced to the
height of prettiness and luxurious ease.
not to mention laziness which high
temperature and a saturated atmosphere
make a few Of us blush to admit.
The very latest thing in hammocks is
dignifed by nanN. 1t is called the
s'royal social" and all because it will
hold two people without mixing them
up. 1t is warranted to swings fat per-
son and lean person at the same time
without disaster or danger of spilling
either, and altogether it seems to be on
hand to meet long felt want. 1t is
twice as broad as tho ordinary ham,
mock and is divided exactly in two,
longitudinally, by the center's being
drawn tight, so that two hollows, each
with its separate cushion and stretcher,
lure one-or two-to the delights of kill
ing time as they Swing, swing together
to the music Of the breeze"
The valane. is an acquisition to the
ordinary, everyday sort of hammock
that finds ready appreciation. 1t very
kindly hides any defects of position that
might be comfortable except for the
knowledge of its awkward appearance,
which to one sensitive to appearances
would be serious drawback. The val
ance. is graceful in itself, and being
woven OF the samo colors as compose
the hammock it makes for improve
ment whether the hammock be in use or
empty.-House Furnishing Review.

A Niokel-steeI Cannon.

There is being built at the Washington
gun foundry, located at the navy yard
here, nickel-steel gun, in which great
interest is felt by experts in ordnance.
The nickel-steel forgings are on hand,
and as soon as the new patent furnace is
constructed the work of assembling"
the gun will commence. This patent
furnace will create q departure from
present methods ins assembling" guns

to assemble the gun in horizontal posi-

ton of intense heat to the Jacket and
stream of cold water to the tube it is ex-
pected the operation will be attended by
less of the uncertain elements of gun as
sembling than has been the case hereto
fore. When constructed, the gun will be
tested with different charges Of powder
to ascertain whether it will bear the
strain better than guns known as all
steel. Many experts believe that the
same advantages obtained by the use of
nickel in armor plates will be extended
to ordnance constructed Of the same ma
terials. After the capacity Of the gun
has been thoroughly tested by the ord
nance men, it will be used for expert
menting with powder. The tests will be
watched with great interest by all per-

CALIFORNIA VS.. EASTERN FRUIT.
While | always had good idea OF the
productions of California, had no idea
OF its superiority over everything pro-
duced in the eastern states. In Chicago,
on almost every corner there are fruit
stands loaded down with immense
pears, peaches, tokay grapes. plums and
other fruits with which We are familiar
and which have no rival here. There
are grown here a number of very small,
white and poorly favored peaches there
are also cstawba grapes, which look
very well, but have a musky odor and
favor, and an acrid taste. OF course, at
this season of the year there are some
good apples in the market that are pro-
duced here, but they are the only fruit
that can be compared with what we
have. In New York the fruit industry
seems to be very much neglected. /
only saw one store on Broadway and |
think it's entire stock Of goods could
have been placed in good-sized wheel
barrow. On other streets there were
some fruit stands with California fruits.
but the extra days jarring from Chicago
to this place seems to bruise it consider
ably so that it does not present very
salable appearance. The only exception
to, this is the tokay grapes. They seem
to stand almost unlimited transporta-
tioH. retaining their favor and appear
ance. OF course, the prices OF all these
articles would be considered rather
steep. Peaches and pears are cents
apiece, and grapes 10 cents pound.
When one sees the unlimited market
that there must always be here for Cali

Made Miserable for Life.

This you may easily be if you fail to rene
edy the indigestion and non-assimilation of
the food, which are the attendants and orig
inators of nervousness, that ever present all
ment which no narcotic, mineral sedative or
neryine can ever do more than temporarily
relieve. OF course these remedies have no
effect upon the organs of digestion and as
similation, except to disorder and enfeeble
them, thus aggravating the original Difficult
~. Among the most alarming and danger
Gus symptoms of chronic nervousness is in
somnia, which is the professional term for
inability to sleep. Where this exists there is
always a tendency to mental overthrow, par
esis and eventual insanity. Begin at the
fountain head of all this difficulty with Hos
letters Stomach Bitters and avert evil conse-
quences. No sooner does the stomach re-
sumo its tone, and the system gain in vigor
through the aid of this benign tonic, than
sleep returns and the nerves grow tranquil.
Chills and fever, rheumatism. biliousness and
constipation yield to the Bitters.

Her Promise to Victor Hugo.

A few weeks ago an old negress
came from Bridgetown, on the island
of Barbados, to missionary and
asked him to read three masses for
Victor Hugo. The missionary was
astonished, and at first believed that
he had misunderstood the visitor.
But the negreSS replied to his ques-
tions that years ago she had given
aid to Hugo's daughter, who had
married an English officer against the
will of her father, and had fed with
him to Barbados The officer de-
serted his wife, who consequently be-
came almost insane, and was cared
for in that condition by the negress.
The negreSS wrote to the poet of the
sad condition Of his child. Hugo
sent her 1000 francs and had her 20
to Paris with his daughter. After
remaining a time in the house of the
author the negreSs decided to return
to Barbados One reason for this
was the fact that the poor daughter
had become incurably insane and been
consigned to an asylum. The poet,
who respected the negress because of
the love she had borne his daughter,
said to her before her departure from
Paris: 'When you hear of my death
in your native country have three
masses read for me-" The old woman,
who first heard Of the death of Victor
Hugo a few months ago, has now full
filled the wishes Of the poet = Nash

Escaping Torture.

During Gen. Clusters attacks on
Black Kettles camp during one OF
the United States Indian wars,
some of the prisoners, taking advan-
tage of the thick brush, broke through
the line Of troops and escaped to the
prairie.
Major Elliot, calling some of his
men to follow, dashed off in persuit
of the fugitiveS Not one of the
nineteen cavalrymen was ever again
seen by white man.
Intent on his purpose, and not sus-
pecting the vicinity of other camps,
Major Elliott found his little party
surrounded by an overwhelming
horde of Indians.
Dismounting, loosing their horses
and forming in circle. the litGle
band of twenty brave men prepared
to sell their lives as dearly as posi-
BILE. In less than twenty minutes
every man but one was dead.
Wounded in several places, his
ammunition expended, Sergeant
Major Kennedy stood alone, saber in
. hand.
No shot was fired at him, no effort
was made to kill him, but several Of
the Indians approached him with
hands thrust out, saying: "How9
How?"
Too well he knew the meaning of
this kindly demonstration. He was
to be reserved for all the horrors Of
the torture.
He saw that his only hope of es-
Gaping turture was in so exasDerating
the Indians that they would kill
him.
Seeming to surrender, he advanced
towards the chief. They approached
each other, hands extended Quick
as thought Kennedy's sword passed
through the chiefs body. One in

WHAT is MANS BoDY7
Liebig Says It Is Formed Of Condensed Air
and Liquid Gases.

Liebig Says 1t Is Formed of Condensed Air
and Liquid Gases.
In the ST. Louis Republic of De-
cember 6, 1890, was given Prof.
Huxley's table of the chemical COM
position of MANN other words, a
table exhibiting the number Of pounds,
ounces, and grains of the different
elements in the makeup of the aver
age man. The table shows thirteen
elements in the chemical composition
of human being-oxYgen, hydrogen.
carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, cal
cium, sulphur. chlorine, salt. iron,
potassium. magnesium, and silica
The weight of these several gases and
solids varies with the size of the man.
In the man Of the average Of 154
pounds there will be Ill pounds of
oxygen, the other elements scaling
down to only two grains, the last in
the table being silica.
The following, which will make an
excellent companion piece to the arti-
Gle reviewed above, is from the pen
of Justus Liebig, the greatest chem
ist Of the century: Science has
demonstrated the fact that man, the
being which performs the greatest
wonders, is formed of condensed air
solidified and liquid gases. that he
lives upon condensed as well as upon
uncondensed air, and that by means
Of the same mysterious agent he
moves or causes to be moved the
heaviest weights with the velocity Of
the wind. But the strangest part of
the matter is that thousands and
millions of these tabernacles of con-
densed air are going on two legs, de-
stroying other forms Of condensed air
which they may need to build up
their own wasted tissues or for shell
ter or clothing, or, on account of their
egotism and fancied power, destroy
ing each other in pitched battles, u.s.
ing Implements which are but another
form OF condensed air, the material
Of which they themselves are formed
or composed. Chemistry supplies the
clearest proof that, so far as concerns
this, the ultimate and most minute
composition and structure, some of
which are so intinitesimal as to be
beyond the comprehension of our
senses, man is, to all appearances, at
least, composed of materials identified
with those which compose the struc-
tural being of the OK or the dog, or
even the lowest animal in the scale
of creation.
Solomon seems to have entertained
the same idea. See Ecclesiastes ill.,,
10: "F'or that which befalleth the
sons of men befalleth beasts: as the
one dieth so dieth the other; yes,
they have all one breath, so that..a
man hath no pre-eminence above a
beast"
