DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Opening of Congress Has Affected
Business But Little.

Business But Little.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'s Week2y Revie0 Of Trade,
issued to-day, says: Business is
still sluggish, as If gorged by Excess
sive indulgence Of the appetite for
buying when prices were advancing.
In nearly every branch stocks, not
yet distributed to consumers, stand
in the way Of new orders, and COM
petition of producing force largely
exceeding the present demand puts
down prices, that decline retarding
purchases yet more. After the
holidays a larger demand is looked
for. For tie present the springs
Of new business are running low,
but enough Is dong on old orders
to keep most of the works employed
IN part and good portion fully.
luduCldI lHHuGuCCS nave nOG ulH-
dered, and rarely has the opening
of y session of Congress affected
business so little.
Wheat has advanced about one
cent for the week, though western
receipts have been 7,014,911 bush
els against 3,727,788 last year, and
Atlantic exports, flour included,
again exceed last years 1896, 093,
against 1881 1877 bushels. The
best western estimates of the crop
have been raised again. Corn
moves from farms less freely than a
year ago, Me low prices hindering,
but exports were 1,293,774 bushels
against 178,S13 last year. Wool
has been slightly strengthened by
the London sales, but the average
of quotations by Coates Bros. is
only tenth of l per cent. higher.
Sales continue large, 6,463, 10O
pounds for the week, of which GO
per cent. was foreign.
Iron and it's products are lower,
anthracite No. l at $13, plates at
LIS and bar at l.3 cents and Bes-
semer pig Sl2 at Valley mill, with
billets $16.50 The avearge OF all
quotations is s. per cent, below the
highest point in September, but
actual sales are frequently made
below quotations. The proposed
com bination of lake ore producers
has not yet been effected and with
the fall in the price OF IRON is less
probable. There is more pressure
to sell southern pig here, and some
large transactions haye been made
by concessI ons~ while the small
demand has broken the barbed wire
combination, and the two nail and
the two bar associations are now in
session to consider their policy.
Rails have not changed while Bes-
semer pig has declined s. and
billets Sc per ton, and a purchase
Of 10000 tons for San Francisco
from England is noticed, with a
considerable import of wire nails at
Boston. Anthracite coal Is weaker
and sold at $3.50 here against s4.15
according to circular.
For the past week failures have
been 1924 in the United States
against 385 last year, and 81 in
Canada against 40 last year.

Good Roads In Politics.

The good roads movement has
forced its way into politics, but not
as party issue, says the Washing
ton Post. All parties are IN favor
of improving the highways, and
though there are various and radi-
cally different opinions as to the
agencies through which the work
should be accomplished party lines
have rot been drawn on those differ
ences. 1t is generally conceded that
the work of roadbuilding should be
prosecuted by state, county and
township authorities, but there is
no consensus of opinion as to the
part which each of the three should
take.
The movement is in politics be-
cause politicians see the expediency
of catering to the wishes of the
large and rapidly increasing number
of citizens who earnestly desire good
roads.
The farmers have been slow to
recognize the Importance of this
movement. They have seen in it
little more than a proposed increase
of taxes. But reports from New
Jersey and Massachusetts,, where
roadbuilding has been systemati-

ON THE FARM.

BERMUDA farms bear three successive
crops in one year.
FRANCE imports ten times as much
wine as it exports.
CELLAR mould on apples-often un-
oticeable-consists Of more Or less
poisonous fungi. Physicians say they
have traced cases of diphtheria to the
eating of it. All fruits and vegetables
should be carefully cleansed, or peeled,
at least, if to be eaten raw.
THE better condition in which the
farm tools are kept, the less effort is
required on the part Of the teams, and
on the part of the worlSingmen also,
yet farmers will use their implements
n whole year without sharpening them.
No other mechanic would do this.
AT Herr Bolle's famous dairy in Ber-
lin the milk is strained through wire
sieve with cloth, over which fine
gravel is sprinkled. After the milk is
strained the gravel is put into a hot
oven that any germs that may have
been possibly strained from the milk
may be destroyed.

THE NAPOLEON REVIVAL.
why the Emperor Is the Most Popular
Character In History.

why the Emperor Is the Most Popular
Character in History.
Within the past year there has been
q revival of interest in the career OF
Napoleon Bonaparte that Is almost
phenomenal. In literature he has fig
ured in the pages of memoirs and rem
iniscences by those who came into
more and less intimate contact with
him. In art not only has he been a po-
tent inspiration to modern painters
and sculptors, but he has made price
less all pictorial records of his time. In
the drama he poses as the most pictur-
esqre figure that has been brought
upon the stage within the century.
Personal relics of the man are held as
sacred and beyond all price. AS Paul
Bourget aptly says, Napoleon has
hypnotized the French people again"
In France the sting of defeat after
the Franco-Prussian war turned the
thoughts of all to their period Of great
est glory, and so it needed but time to
see Napoleon enshrined as an idol. An
equally logical explanation is found
for the most notable feature of the Ma
poleon revival in this country.
The Century's life of the emperor was
projected five or six years ago, before
anyone could have foreseen the pres
ent attitude of the public mind. It
was undertaken solely with the idea
that Napoleon was one of the greatest,
most forceful and picturesque charac-
ters in the entire range of history, and
that hitherto he had been inadequate-
ly represented. For that reason Prof.
William NJ. Sloane, the greatest Amer
lean student of French history, was
commissioned to write the life. and
his years of study among unpublished
archives have brought out his COM
pleted labor at the most opportune mo-
ment. And Prof. Sloane shows. us
new Napoleon, a devourer of books, an
unsuccessful literary aspirant, an inef-
fectual Corsican political agitator, but
the new Napoleon certainly makes the
old Napoleon more easily compre-
hended

The men who fought the establish
ment of the department of agriculture
few years ago, on the ground that it
was unnecessary, will perhaps be sur
prised to learn that one hundred years
ago there was a Clothing Depart
ment," and that congress issued regu-
lations for clothier general, regi-
mental clothier, and SO on. A DE
partment of Clothing" would excite de-
risive laughter now. There was good
deal of inquiry and report on the sub.
ject of clothing for the continental
army, and at one time Gen. Horatio
Gates reported that the cost of cloth
ing each man was twentythree dol
lars.

of all cases of consumption can, If taken in
the earlier stages of the disease, be cured.
This may seem like a bold assertion to
those familiar only with the means ge1fer-
ally i'll use for its treatment ; as, nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions extract
of malt, whiskey, different preparations of
hypophospllites and such like PalliGtf1es.
Although by many believed to be incura.
Bile, there is the evidence of hundreds OF
living witnesses to the fact that, i'll all its
earlier stages, consumption is a curable
disease. Not every case, but a large per-
centage Of cases, and we believe, fully oS
Per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular Inatter), great loss of flesh
and extreme e1naciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever i'll mis-
representing them, and WHO were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal nalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried i'll nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt wl1iskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred nlaladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 16o
pages which will be mailed to you, OH re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and learn
their experience.
