NEW YORK. -Bradstreet's review OF trade
SAYS: There are indications Of a moderate inn
provement in various lines and enough in
stances to render the fact of some significance.
A notably favorable feature is the practical
ending of the coke and coal strikes, together
with those in related industries which will put
to work at once, or soon, more than 10000
men. The number of the employees in indus
trial lines still on strike Is estimated about
10000. There are sales by iobbers in staple
lines for future delivery where nothing save a
hand TO mouth business has been reported for
weeks Nothing indicating increased demand
for staple goods or tendency to anticipate
wants Is reported from any New England city.
Tho settlement OF the coal strike produces q
more hopeful feeling NJ Pittsburg. Eight
western cities agree that u better feeling pre-
walls in business circles and that the outlook
for improved fall trade has increased. This is
true ut Cincinnati and Detroit, whore good
weather has stimulated sales in dry goods and
other lines. At Cleveland business Is only fair
in leading lines, although receipts of coal are
increasing The volume OF business in dry
goods and kindred lines at Chicago is smaller
than in the preceding week and jobbers are
preparing TO take stock

Do Flying Fish Fly.

A very common error made in ma.
tional histories where this fish is mem
toned is that it does not fly. Its sup
posed fight is nothing more than
prolonged leap; it cannot deviate from
straight line, and cannot rise
second time without entering the
water" This, briefly, Is the sort Il
thing one meets with in text bookk
where reference is made TO this fish.
The simplest way of dealing with IL
is the professors method af answering
the query of the French Academy

that it does not need repetition. AC

have often seen a flying fish rise
two hundred yards off, describe q
semicircle, and, meeting the ship, rise
twenty-five feet in the air perpendicu-
larly, at the same time darting off al
right angles to its previous course.
Then, after another long flight, when
just about to enter the water, the gap
ing jaws of dolphin emerging from
the sea gave it pause and it rose again,
returning almost directly upon its
former course. This procedure is so
common that it is a marvel it is not
more widely known.
A flying fish of mature size can fly
one thousand yards. 1t does not ap
its fms as bird, but they vibrate, like
the wings of an insect, with distinct
hum. The only thing which termi-
mates its flight involuntarily is the
drying of its fin membranes and their
consequent etiffening. - Chambers

How Willie spent HIs Fourth.

When Willie was about five years
old he spent his Fourth of July in the
house. He did not like that at all
lie felt bad all day, and he was really
glad when the Fourth was over. All
the other boys were shooting off fire.
crackers but, alas! he was not allowed
to have any.
Oh, how hard Willie pleaded with
mamma to go out into the street!
Wouldn't she let him shoot OFF Just
one cracker?"
No, Willie" said mamma; you
must wait until the next Fourth, and
then you will be old enough to look
out for yourself. / am afraid now
you might be burned and badly hurt "
Long before the next Fourth of July
came around Willie had made great
preparations. lie had saved his PEN
MES and there must have been over
dollar in his iron bank
About week before the Fourth
Willie went to his papa and told him
what he had been saving his pennies
for.

want to spend all that money for fire.

YES" said Willie; take it all"
"Oh no." said papa; Il will buy all
the firecrackers you want and you can
save your money for something else"
That evening when papa came home
he brought packs and packs of fire.

with Chinese letters on the outside.

The next day big box containing
Roman candles, sky-rockets, pin
wheels, etc, came TO the house.
There seemed to be no end to vii.
lies joy, and he talked of little else
save the Fourth-what. day it would
be! And the DAYS passed quickly un.
til the third of July came. That night,
after Willie had been put to bed, said
papa, with a quiet smile, to mamma:
Don't you think we ought to have
told Willie that the Fourth comes or
Sunday this year?'
Yes" said mamma; "he does not
seem to know thrt. am sure he will
be very much disappointed"
Bright and early on the morning OF
the Fourth, Willie came running down
stairs. Where are the crackers? ! u
me set some off before break; ,-s.-
please do!'
Then papa had TO say, mo, not to.
day, but tomorrow"
First Willie looked confused, and
then the tears came to his eyes.
To-day" said papa again, lis Sun
day. No one is allowed to shoot Of
fire crackers on the Sabbath.
The poor boy was puzzled. He did
not, could not, understand why the
Fourth should come on Sunday.
Later on the bells began to ring out
all over the city. Willie saw the PEG,
pie going to and coming from church,
and he went to Sunday-school himself
in the afternoon.
Now have told you how Willie
spent the Fourth-in the house. Y0u
can imagine how he spent the fifth Of
July.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK;. G.. Dun & Co. s review says:
The week has been rich in promise b,a poor in
performance. 1t was confidently promised that
exports OF gold would ease, but they have not.
IL was promised that the end OF the coal strike
would bring immediate recovery of industries,
but partial resumption OF work discloses COM
parative scantiness OF demand for products.
Operations in wheat advanced the price Ia
cents. Corn advanced, but again receded, with
small exports and fairly large receipts. 10 was
confidently expected that the settlement OF tariff
rates on textiles by the senate would improve
the condition of textile manufactures But there
Is scarcely any evidence of such a result as yet
the large sales OF cottcns being distinctly trace
able to more sCasonable weather and larger
retail sales and to further concessions by sell
ers. The orders for fall are limited and staples
are irregular in price. Wool is less active and
rather weaker, with sales about equal TO half a
full consumption. There il much disappoint-
ment that the partial termination OF the coal
strike does not promptly enlarge the demand
for iron and steel products, which is evidently
too narrow as yet TO support much increase OF
production. Failures during the week were PA
in the United States, against 213 last year, and
% in Canada, against II last year.
