was one, relates the Atlanta Constitu-
tion, in whicha father claimed and got
q verdict for $4,000 for the death of
mis- son, who was killed by railroad
train. 1t was proved that the boy was
standing alongside the track when the
train rushed by at high rate ofspeed
and that he was hurled to the ground
and forced under the cars by the cur
rent of air made by the swift motion
Of the train. Deep interest has been

which in the higher courts is likely to

ages against railroads,

BUSINESS TALK.
Bradstreet's Report OF Trade for the
Past Week.

Past Week.
Bradstreet's weekly review of trade
says: Special telegraphic mail advices
from the more important distributing
centers fail to reveal any marked i'm
provement in the movement of mer-
chandise and products, and the con-
clusion is forced that the general trade
situation remains as previously charac-
terized-small volume, lowprices, hand
to mouth sales, and the outlook favor
able to a very conservative trade for
some time to come. Gains in demand
have been noteworthy only at eastern
wooden mills for mems wear and fab
RIGS.
Wholesale dealers in staples at Au-
gusta, Memphis, New Orleans, and in
the west and northwest, at st. Louis,
Kansas City, st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis report that the improvement is
rather by contrast with recent dullness
than with the volume of trade ordina-
rily transacted at this season.
An exception is in wool sales, which
have increased sharply, though prices
are no higher. Mills report une&-
pectedly heavy orders of mems wear,
woolens for fall delivery, in spite of
foreign competition, clothiers having
placed the bulk of overcoatings and
general suitings contracts with dGmes-
tic mills. Transactions in prints and
ginghams are of fair proportions, the
latter having been stimulated by cut
prices None of the larger easteSn
cities report a likelihood of demand
TO anticipate wants. On the contrary,
all indications are for a continuance
of orders for nearby wants only. As
Pittsburg unfavorable weather has
checked trading again. Philadelphia
textile mills are dissatisfied with the
situation and the outlook. Baltimore
jobbers say trade is fairly satisfactory.
At the south collections are slow in
South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia.
More interest is manifested by patrons
of Richmond jobbers, and Charleston
and Savannah respectively report fer
tilizers and naval stores more active.
At Atlanta jobbers are awaiting results
of February settlements before seeking
to extend trade.

An ostrich farmer in Southern Cali
fornia says in the New York Sun that
the ostrich farming experiment is not
an entire success, although not acorn
plete failure. He was one of the first
to engage in the business of raising
the big birds for their feathers, and
expected to realize a big fortune
quickly. He says that, while much
money has been derived from the sale
of feathers, the birds do not increase
as rapidly as was expected. Then,
very many are so vicious that it is i'm
possible to remove the feathers with
ont killing them. He still hopes that,
as the farmers gain more experience
in the management of the ostriches,
the business may become as big sue
cess as was at first expected.

Children.
SPIER WHITAKER.

Let children grow. Give them
time tor slow and natural development.
Give them freedom and liberty in
things not positively and permanently
hurtiul. What matter fall their daily
behavior is not quite pleasant or perfect,
II they show improvement and pro-
gress? Sow good seed, anxious parent;
cultivate with care, but wait patiently
for harvest if you wish good fruit. Sup
pose child does not sit as straight as
ram-rod at table. Suppose cup or
tumbler does slip through its little fin
gers, the food below be deluded, and
the table cloth ruined-do no. look
cross, break out with reproof Of what
was unlntended as if it were a willful
wrong. Did you never let a glass slip
through your fingers? Instead ofsend
ing the child away in anger, or with
threatening words why not be as gen.
erouS as TO a guest, to whom you
would kindly say, alt is OF no conse-
quence." 1t is generally wise to take
little notice of mishaps or bad behavior
at the time, and even to divert atten-
ton from them at the instant. After
ward, at some appropriate time, draw
the child's attention to the improperly,
fault, or lack of suitable care, and
point out kindly the remedy.

A Boys Awful Ride in the Air.

A recent dispatch from Neshamit,
Falls, Pa, says:
A crowd of three thousand people
at picnic here yesterday witnessed an
adventure that nearly paralyzed them
Frederick Young, a twelve-year old
lad, became entangled in the ropes oil
a great balloon and was carried up in
the air mile and half, and in this
awful position he foated for three
miles before landing.
The John B. Stetson Mission folks,
from Philadelphia came out to have
their annual picnic. Among the mum
Der was Frederick Young, whose home
is at No. 1858 north Sixth street,
Philadelphia. The big feature of the
day was balloon ascension that came
off at 3 O'Clock. Everybody gathered
to see William Trainer, the aeronaut,
take his trip through the air. He had
a parachute attached to the airship,
and proposed to take flying leap. A
large number of boys and men were
helping to hold down the balloon
when it was being prepared to ascend.
Little Fred Young was among the
most eager Of these. Suddenly there
was a swaying motion of the great silk
bag that was filled with hot air, and
up it shot. Those around it were all
free except Trainer and the Young
lad. The latter's feet had become
entangled in the ropes and he was
dragged upward with the balloon.
When the ropes, and basket and par
achute got into position above the
tree tops the boy found himself
dangling below the balloon, but above
the parachute.
Trainer was clinging to the para
chute trapese. He realized the lads
peril and shouted instructions to him
as to how TO hold on. The great
crowd below stood mute at the thrill
ing sight. Higher and higher scared
the balloon, and the people could see
the unfortunate boy trying to get a
firm foothold upon the top of the par
achute. This he seemed to secure, for
he quickly settled so closely upon the
top of it that he could not be seen by |
the crowd below. Up went the balloon
higher and higher, and those on the
ground feared every instant that the
lad would grow dizzy and let 60 his
hold. But he did not. Trainer kept
shouting cheeringly to him all the
while, but his words could not be
heard by the picnic party in the woods.
The balloon sailed farther and farther
away, and seemed to grow small to
the anxious gazers below. 1t foated
out toward Langhorne, and was,
Trainer says, mile and a half from
the ground at one time. Then it
began slowly to settle, as the hot air
within it cooled. Gradually it sank,
but still hoated before the breeze.
Lower it got, and Frederick Young's
heart leaped with joy when it got
down to the level of the tree tops,
and the next instant they alighted in
wheat field. This was three miles
rom where they started. Except a
dreadful fright and wrenched ankle,
where he was caught by the ropes, the
ad was uninjured. As quickly as he
could, he came back to this place and
'eturned to the city with friends. OF
course he was the hero of the home
ward journey.
