A STRANGE FAMILY.
A Hen Adopts Litter of Pups an
Keeps Charge of Them

A Hen Adopts Litter of Pups and
Keeps Charge of Them.
A hen with a family of ducks is not
an uncommon sight, but aahen with a
family of pups is a sight rarely wit
messed. Such a sight, however, can
be seen any day at the farm Of John
Leyda, Marion Township, few miles
east of Beaver Dam, Pa. Three weeks
ago a Scotch collie dog belonging to
Mr. Leyda gave birth to a litter of
seven pups. During the day the dog
left the barn and her family and went
to the house for something to eat. In
the barn near the pups was an old hen
on a nest full of eggs. During the abb
sence of the mother dog the pups began
to whine. Sraightway the old hen
left her nest, went to the pups, and be-
gan gathering them under her ample
wings as well as she was able, and soon
clucked them to sleep. When the col
lie returned she made no objection to
the arrangement, but laid down with
them, and from that day to this the old
hen has had charge of the little ami
mals.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Missouri Democrats Threatened With
Big Split.

Missouri Democrats Threatened With a
Big Split.
ST.. LOUIS, Aug 10. While no au-
thorized statement can be obtained for
publication as to the policy which the
old state Democratic committee will
pursue, it is almost beyond question
that the old committee will refuse to
recognize the members added by the
Pertle Springs convention. Before
this policy shall be put in force, how
ever, certain members of the added
committee will be consulted with.
They are: c. w. Green of Linn county,
E. A. Barbour of Greene, J. w. Booth
of Franklin, w. .. Evans of Howell,
and possibly NJ. A. Fyke of Kansas
City. 1t is believed that these men
are not in favor of recognizing the
committee, deposing Mafitt and Zevely
and making Farris of Laclede county
the chairman. If these men prove to
be conservative the old committee may
recognize the action of the Pertle
Springs convention. If they are not,
then there will be two committees and
an appeal to the next national con-
ventiOn.

TRADE UNUSUALLY BRISK.
Business Continues Active Without a
Sign of Reaction.

Business Continues Active Without a
Sign of Reaction.
NEW York, Aug. 10.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business continues unusually active
for midsummer, and, though there is
no perceptible relaxation, there are no
signs of reaction. The one change of
great Importance which the past week
has brought is eminently helpful-the
amicable settlement between coal
miners and employers in Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. 1t
is said that about 100, 900 men will have
their wages increased after October
by this adjustment, and, while the en-
largement of purchasing power is of
consequence, it seems even more i'm
portant that a chronic cause of con-
troversy has been removed by the new
agreement as to company stores.
There is no important change in crop
prospects, and at this time no news is
eminently good news.
Speculation has been more success
full in cotton than in any other pro-
duct during the past week, and has
lifted the price an eighth. Wheat has
declined fraction, with very scanty
transactions, the extremely small
western receipts influencing the mar
ket for the present more than the re-
stricted exports. The concerted with
holding of wheat by western farmers.
price in the end, but it has
already stopped Atlantic ex-
ports almost entirely, the amount,
flour inc1uded having been only 753, $3.50
bushels for the past week. against
1855, 436 bushels for the same week
last year, and when foreign markets
have supplied their needs from other
quarters, the Western farmers may
find reason to regret that they did not
ship their wheat at the original time.
Corn tends to lower prices, with more
encouraging prospects,, and the ex-
pectation of heavy corn crop affects
prices of provisions, as might be ex-
pected.
The industries continue to make
progress. and higher prices for iron
and steel products prove that the
supply has not yet outrun the demand.
Bessemer iron is a shade weaker, but
grey forge has advanced about 90
cents, and finished products are re-
markedly firm. Lake copper has adj
vanced to 10 cents. Tin has declined
about a quarter of cent and is quoted
at $l4.2O. Lead is a trife stronger at
So. 35. The anthracite coal market is
completely demOralized, and prices
have again yielded little to about
the lowest ever known.
