apparent to the uniformed, but man.

AUTUMN SONG.

A song OF the reaping time,
OF the feast days of the year
A song of the grain and the well filled vain,
And the husking time that's near.
Here's hey, for merry romp
In the brown old fields and valcsl
And no, for the mead where the cattle feedl
And no, for the autumn galos
A hunt through the tall, dim woods
For the fruit of the oak and vine,
A peep at the nest of the last redbreast
And II call where the chpmunks dine.
A smile in the morning skies,
And a laugh in the streams that flow
AS they share their joy with the girl and boy
That today may IA rambling go,
Frank Walcott HUT in st. Nicholas.

Condition of Trade.

The full statement of about $500
commercial failures for the third
quarter of 1895 will be published next
week, and will show liabilities of about
1000, 900, of which about $11 900, 900
have been of manufacturing, and
ST. 900, 900 of trading concerns. In the
same quarter of last year the failures
were 2,S6S, and the liabilities 500 All 1856,
of which $12 ,331 ,S92 were of manufactu-
ring, and $15, ISL $50 of trading concerns
while in the third quarter of 1893 the
commercial failures were 4,015 with
liabilities of So, 469,S21. In the three
quarters of 1895 the commercial failures
have been about 9,490, with liabilities
of about Sis, 900 900, against $131 ILL.,
SOP last year, and S251 1884 ,265 in 1893
The liabilities in manufacturing failures
this year have been about SOL ,O0O, 900,
against $50, 1868, 14S last year, and IN
trading about S63 100000, against $685.
527 POS last year.
The weeks reports are highly
encouraging as to monetary matters,
although exports of gold still continue,
and also as to the cotton manufacture,
but not as satisfactory regarding iron,
WOODEN, leather or silk manufactures.
The volume of business represented by
railroad returns for September thus far
is 3.S per cent. larger than last year, but
lis per cent. smaller than in 1892. The
exchanges through all the principal
clearing houses have been 21.4 per cent.
larger than last year, but 81 per cent.
smaller than 1892. 1t is the future,
rather than the past, upon which men
are trying to base business calculations,
and at present the outlook as to future
business is nearly as encouraging as it
was week ago. The one drawback is
that while imports of merchandise
continue about 80 per cent larger than
last year, the exports of cotton, the
main reliance at this season for debt
paying, are likely to be materially
restricted by the great advance in price.

Indian School at TOmall.

The writer he reof was recent visitor
to the Indian School, near Tomah, and
if space permitted would be glad to give
a lengthy account of same.
The school numbers at present one
hundred and twelve pupils, ranging
from three to eighteen years in age.
Mr.. Sanborn, the Superintendent is a
gentleman most ably fitted for the
position he holds, having the respect
and love of the children who seem
pleased to do his bidding. He has
thorough understanding of their nature
and his government is simply perfect.
The matron loves her work and
"Uncle Sam" is to be congratulated
upon having such a woman as Miss Hoy
in the service. Everything about the
place is neat and denotes thoughtful
care and attention.
In the dining room the table linen is
of the whitest and the tables are
arranged in perfect order. There is a
corps of walters (changed monthly
who with white caps and aprons present
a pleasing picture as they attend to the
wants of upwards of hundred children
who finish their meal in a manner that
would cast in the shadow like number
of white children. Once a week the
tables are moved and the older of the
children are given an opportunity to
"trip the light (?) fantastic" and at such
times all employees join hands with
them. There are number of striking
ly handsome children among these
people and it is hard to realize from
whence they came. And the most
prejudiced is obliged to admit their
being kind and lovable and appreciative.
The sleeping rooms are large airy
ones the sanitary arrangements being
of the best. The little tots are cared
for and put to bed at O'Clock by Miss
Hoy who fills a kind mothers place
most effectually. The older children
after couple of hours play time
march singly into the chapel where a
a song service is held concluding by
singing the Lords prayer. Their voices
are not shrill as one would suppose but
are melodious and sweet aud their
enunciation very good indeed.
Two exceptionally bright little fellows
we were introduced to are Mr. Sanborn's
adopted boys aged IL and IA who seem
to be general favorites with both
employees and children.
Our visit to this school will long be
remembered as one of the happy days
of our lifetime.
