There Is an Element of Uncertainty In

 NEW YORK, July 3S.-R. G.

 But it Is not yet clear how far thero Is an increase in new traffic. distinguished from that which has been merely blockad- ed or deferred. In some branches there has been moro activity. but in others less, because events early this week led many to infer that no change of tariff would be made. The internal revenue receipts on whisky suddenly dropped more than half and sales of wool greatly increased. But the uncertainty Is not removed, and much or the business done seems to bc in the nature of insurance against possibilities.

Of all explanations given only one fits facts With wheat at the lowest point ever known and moving from the farms very freely, while imports arc still rcstricted by doubts about future duties. gold could not go out if thcrc was tho ordinary confidence in the future of enterprises hero. But much was dono to prevent that confidence by legislation hos tile to lenders in western and southern states, aEd many millions havo doubtless been called in by foreign loan companies and taken away.

ONE of our well known pretty type writers Is mourning to-day the loss of n new pair of tan shoes and her friends who know the reason of the less are smiling at her new process of removing that distaste- fulssqueak. Sheplaced the shoes in the bath tub and turned ou the water. At this point she was called away and her Atten- ton was not called to her footwear. until this morniug. when she found them enjoying a delicious bath all by their lonely. The squeak was gone and so were the shoes as to wearing qualities. The shoe dealer wondered at her second purchase of the week but as she said they were to be n present. his wonderment ceased. Her little brother is now enjoying what is left of the russets. Although somewhat water-logged he says they are just the thing.

: There lived in the vicinity of Bergerac
parish priest who was greatly beloved.
His parishioners decided upon getting
up subscription to present him with a
cask of wine. One of the inhabitants
supplied the cask, and each of the rest
came and poured in two litres of the
produce of his vineyard. One day last
week our cure invited some of the sub
scribers to dinner, in order to taste the
beverage which formed compound of
all the wines grown in the district. The
servant went to turn the tap, and came
back with a decanter full of water in
her hand.
Whatever is thatr' was the general
cry.
"This is the wine out of the barrel"
His reverence could not make it ont:
it was altogether puzzling! The guests
were splitting with laughter. Each one
had thought to himself that the presence
OF two litres of water would not be de.
tected in butt of wine, but, as it hap
pened, they had all acted on the same
idea.-Petit Liegeois.

for VERY best" as its color and form are

black velvet strings. 1t was cut up in front,
and there were three large black hearted

Living without plans is shiftlessness.
Living above plans may be the highest
life of faith. The ordinary traveller
must look to the beaten track as his
guide in journeyipg, but he who is COM
petent to be an explorer may strike out
from the travelled way and be guided by
the circumstances of each hour in his
action beyond that path. But if a man
is to do without the ruts and the finger
boards of the common highway he must
be able to read the signs of the heavens
in order to be sure of his bearings as he
journeys. A man has occasion to rely
on rules and patterns of conduct unless
he has the ability to comprehend and
apply principles in every special emer-
gency. Only he who has faith that God
has called him to act all by himself in
the world is justified in starting out in
life not knowing whittier he goes; but he
can move forward fearlessly.-Sunday
