New York special: Il. Il. Dun & Co
in their weekly review of trade will say:

midsummer, and though there is a per-
ceptiblc relaxation there is no signs OF re-
action. The II change of great impor-

change in crop prospects, and at this TIM
no news is em!nentiy good news.

cotton than in any other product during
the week and las lifted the price an

John Alexander Macdonald was born
In Glasgow, but at five years Of age
was carried by his parents to Canada,

of meagre kind, for at the age Of
fifteen he was earning his living in a

called to thu bar; and in his first case
came to blows with the opposing
counsel. to the scandal OF the Judge,
who told the crier to enforce order.
This crier was an old man, person.

MALAY'S WATER-SLIDE.
A Natural Toboggan Slide In the
Bed of Il River. .

A Natural Toboggan Slide in tho
Bed of Il River. -
In Perak, state in the Straits Set
Elements, the Malays have one form OF
amusement which is probably not to
be enjoyed anywhere else in the wide
world.
There is a huge granite slope in the
course of mountain river, down
which the water trick!es about two
inches deep, the main stream having
carved bed by the side OF the boul-
der. This rock. the face Of which has
been rendered as smooth as glass by
the constant flow Of water during hum
dreds of years, the Malays-men, wo-
men and CHI. dren-have turned into a
toboggan slide, says 4 writer in Lon
don Little Folks.
Climbing to the top of the rock, they
sit in the shallow water with their
feet straight out and hand on each
side for steering, and then slide down
the sixty feet into pool of water.
This is favorite sport on sunny
mornings, as many as two hundred
folks being engaged at time, and
sliding so quickly one after another. or
forming rows Of two, four and even
eight persons that they tumble into
the pool a confused mass of scrambling
creatures. There is little danger in the
game, and though some choose to sit
on piece of plantain. most Of the to-
bogganers are content to squat on their
launches.
