parent Up to Date.
New YORK, Dec. s.--R. G. Dun & Co. S
weekly review of trade says:
lit is difficult TO detect any change in cur
rent business, Prospects for business after
January are quite generally considered more
hopeful in some branches. There are larger
orders and the west-bound shipments of mer-
cnandise are larger But the working force
is naturally diminished near the end of the
year. and the holiday traffic brings just now a
temporary activity which Is not of much
general significance. The meeting of con-
gress and the announcement of the new
currency plan and of various bills
proposed have not affected the situation
pereoptibly. Payments for bonds have
been completed without disturbance, but did
not prevent the shipment of some gold to Eu-
rope Friday On the whole, agricultural
products are scarcely stronger and wages of
labor do not advance, but there is reason to
expect the employment of somewhat larger
working force after the holidays.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The eighth an

commission ranges through variety
of subjects, synopsis of which is here

Foreglows and Afte-glo,vs.

The variety of the colors and the difference of their intensity depend
 too, upon the two sets of dust particles In the air. To produce the full effect often witnessed there must be. besides the ordinary dust particles, small crys- tals floating in the air, which increase the reflection from their surfaces. These crystals shine far more brilliant ly when suspended in the air between the observer and the sun than In any other position. and there is generally a sufficient number to produce this glor- ious result. The light reflected by the large quantities of ordinary kinds of dust is the chief cause of the red glow in the south, north, and east; the crys- tals enhance the western glow effects.
 In winter sunsets, the winter-clad dust particles get frozen, and the red light streams with rare brilliancy, caus- ing all reddish and, .colored' .tob1scts to glow with, a strange brightness. Dead beach leaves, which in ordinary are not noticed in a marked degree, shine out as deeply red as those of the blood stained maple. All the red-tiled roofs or red sand stone gables of the houses shine out brightly. as if painted swith vermillion. When, afterward, we find that there has been a heavy deposit of dew, we can account, by the sudden change of temperature after sunset, for some of the brilliancy of the color ing; then the air glews with a stranke light as if of the northern dawn, From all this it is clear that though the color ing of sunset is produced by. ,the. direct rays of the sun, the afterglow is pro. duced by reflection or rather radiation from the illuminated particles near the horizon.

Sir Charles Napier.

Sir Charles was an extraordinary. looking person-short, slight, and with handsome cast of countenance. He wore large spectacles and had small eyes, large, dark, shaggy eyebrows, an aquiline nose and most fearful quan- tity of grizzly gray whiskers, beard, and mustache, with hair streaming down his back. Like Mir. Peggoty, he was a most agreeable man when he happened to be in good humor, and was fond of talking about the difficul. ties he had surmounted. o4 ..
 He told Grant that, until he was six ty, he had never known what it was to be out of poverty. AS a general officer, with g. wife and daughter, he managed somehow to make both ends meet on his pay. When he landed at Bombay to take command of a division, he had only couple of sovereigns in his pock- ct. After his victory at Meeanee he got f60,OOO of prize money, and subsequent- ly, an Indian commander in chief, he drew f15,00o year. s'
 But even that ample income could blind the fiery old man, whose very as- pect struck superstitious terror into the Sikhs, to a decent show of subordina- tion. Quarreling with the governor general, he resigned the lucrative com mand.-Blackwood's Magazine. EY.~T

ones ordinary clothes are two entirely different things. and that the ability to do the former does not insure the sue- cess in the latter. It might be interest ing for woman to enter the water in her usual walking costume and see what she could do. but the idea Is rath- CT impraetieable. and l do not imagine that We shall hear of any such experi- ments.
 Any form of athletic sport may be brought into diseredit through its abuse. Those of us who are sincerely interested in the furtheranee and im- provement of all outdoor exercise see this frequently. and with much regret Without mentioning other instances the single one of sea bathing comes to mind at this time of year.
 Prejudice has been aroused against 1t for different reasons. People who go Into the water two or three times a day, staying there perhaps an hour at time. are responsible for its condcm- nation on the score of health. A bath of half an hour or less. generally not more than once day. is the utmost. believe. that any physician approves 6. Even that Is long for the first time and many bathers never feel so well if they remain in the water more than ten or fifteen minutes.
 Again. it may seem unnecessary to say that n bathing suit Is meant to be worn in the water. but some women do not appear to think so. To go directly from the bath house into the surf. and return there as soon as the bath Is finished. is In far better taste than to promenade a public beach in costume which Is not intended for such use. and would not be tolerated on the street.
 AS for recklessnsss. if the many drowning accidents resulting from ven- turing out too far do not deter people from 1t, words will not be likely to have much effect. The strong undertow at most places along the Atlantic coast is very dangerous, even for powerful swimmers. and should always be borne in mind.-Harper's Bazar.
