The Hermit Child.
Mary L. Branch, New York Independent

I'm little hermit child,
Round behind the apple tree;
Hidden by the tansy stalks,
Where / am no one can see
Do you think mamma could know
When she did not see me go?
On the ground beetle crawls,
Here's the web all white with dew;
Through the tansy leaves the sun
Sit by hit comes creeping through.
How surprised mamma would be
If she knew the things 1 sec.
l will play this is my bower
Where / like a hermit dwell;
If mamma should search for me
Neither bird nor bee will tell.
And / think she never walks,
over by these tansy stalks.
She will think me in the fields,
Maybe wandering by the brook;
She may walk for miles and miles
If she once sets forth to look.
But if she should pass the wall
l will laugh aloud and call.
1t is rather lonely here,
No one seems to care or know
If | stay here all day long,
If l let my dinner go.
] should think mamma would be
Searching everywhere for me.
Hark! What's that? Mamma, that calls
kitty, meath the apple tree,
In behind the tansy stalks
Kitty, come straight home to men'
Oh, mammal how could you tell,
When ! hid myself so we'll?

The little town of Shelburne Falls, IN
Western Massachusetts, enjoys the pc
culiar distinction of having the products
of its peg factory taken exclusively by
parties In Germany as supplying a need
which that country, for natural reasons,
cannot furnish, there being no timber in
Germany that equals the American white
birch in the manufacture of pegs. The
process of manufacture is simple. A four
foot stick is shaved of its bark and sawed
the knots and dead wood are cut out with
a pressure augero and then the thin wheel
of wood is ready for the scutting and
splitting machines One operator thrusts
two or more blocks into the jaws of the
cutter and splitter at a time, and the
manufactured article comes out on the
other side to be brushed right and left,
according to quality, into barrels. The
pegs are thoroughly dried in heated cylin-
ders and bleached white and firm. II is
no uncommon thing to secure thirty bush
els of fine pegs from a cord OF white birch,
and sometimes much larger quantity.

what General Coburn Said.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
1 see. in this mornings Journal, that
am reported rs saying at a meeting of the
veteran firemen. last night, that the public
cisterns were built by subscriptions pro-
cured by them. This was a mistake did say
to illustrate our progress and public spirit
that when fire engines were first used here
the only water supply was in private wells
and cisterns which were soon exhausted
and were insufficient some houses having
burned downed which otherwise might have
been saved; that the tremen urged the
digging Of public wells. and these also were
failure, after several years trial Some
were too shallow, some dried up. and all
furnished sand as well as water, which
injured the machines Then they urged the
construction of public cisterns. That these
things were, after much begging and solic-
itation. granted by the Council. and were
obtained almost faVorS 10 the firemen. II
was said by myself and others, at this meet
ing. that the firemen and their friends
aided largely by subscriptions and fairs
i'm procuring money TO buy engines and
build houses for them; and in enc or two
instan ces to buy the lots on which they
were built. JOHN COBCRN.

Little More Activity i'm Trade, with
Few Changes i'm Values.


On the wholesale streets there more
activity yesterday than on either Wednes-
day or Thursday a number of buyers
were in, mail orders were liberal and
few of the travelling statesmen reported
day or two earlier than usual Bills are
being paid with a good degree of prompt
ness. In prices changes were unimportant.
In both the fruit and vegetable lines, aside
from green apples, there is tendency to
lower prices. The supply of onions, cab
bage, potatoes, celery and like articles is
well kept up. and with the comparatively
speaking, light trade il is difhfficult to
spring prices. Commission men continue to
complain of dull business. Trade with dry
goods houses has been somewhat better the

NEW YORK, Jan. n.-Bradstreets will
say tomorrow; Special kilograms from
leading trade centers bring evidence not
only of much that encouraging regarding
the outlook, but that the tide has actually
turned. 1t appears beyond question that
the depression in industrial and commercial
lines has for some time been at low ebb.
and that movement in the direction of an
expansion of the volume of business has
appeared. The pendulum which swung in
one direction, from May last year until 1894
should soon be swinging In the opposite
direction, and Bradstreets points as evil
dence Of that fact, TO the increase of "a per
cent. in the production or pig iron within
three months TO an excess of deposits over
payments at some OF the largest savings
banks in the United States and to
resumption Of work at industrial establish
ments i'm all directions (even though with
lower wages and on shorter time) con-

Weekly Trade Review.
Improvement Is Based on Actual In-

has distinctly improved since the new year

that has in it possibilities of lasting be-
cause it is based on actual increase in the
production by industries. AS all rejoice to

more smaller works have started than have

little larger In either case IL Is from Al TO
stocks of unsold pig increased 19, 457 tons in

the tone is more hopeful both here and at

no definite change. Shipments Of
boots and shoes for the week were

but there is growing confidence that the
business must soon Increase. Wheat Is a
shade weaker, though Western receipts are
10000 bushels for the week. against $685.
COO year ago. Atlantic exports only
$4,000 bushels, against 1,4SSO00 last year.
Stocks in sight decrease but little. and
government crop estimates get little at

very large receipts, though exports are SC
per cent larger than year ago. Cotton
has been lifted by speculation 3-l6c though
the decrease i'm receipts is not large, and
stocks in sight here and abroad are big

sumption. Bank cearings also indicate
