trade review says: There has been no
material improvement in general trade

wholesalers are sending out, or are

tabulation of Bradstreet's telegraphic
reports from the more important trade
centers does not reveal specially hopeful
views as to an improvement in business
in the near future. In many instances
trade revival is declared to depend on a
settlement of the currency question.
The most encouraging expressions of
opinion are that merchants are hopeful,

SIMPLE REASONS.

The %porcupine is SO called because his
name comes from two Latin words mean,
ing a thorny pig.
The glowUorm has q brush attached tC
its tail because it is necessary to show its
light that the back be kept clean.
Iron bedsteads are safe during a thun'
derstorm because, being good conductors,
they keep the electricity from the body.
It is harder TO blow out a candle with a
cotton than with a fax wick because the
porous cotton absorbs SO much more Of the
tallow.
Many springs are intermittent, probably
because the channels leading from the res
ervoirs to the surface are crooked and con
stitute natural siphons.
The day after a heavy snowfall is usual
ly very clear because the snow in falling
brings down with it most of the dust and
impurities of the air and leaves the atmos-
phere exceedingly pure.
The voice can be heard to a greater dis
lance through a speaking tube than
through the air because the sound is con.
fined to the air within the tube and the
tube itself is a good conductor.
Green wood Kisses and splutters wher
burning because of the large amount OF
water contained in it's f1bers, which Is
changed into steam by the heat and bursts
off tiny splinters in making its escape.
Clouds that move in a direction opposite
to that of the surface current indicate 6
change of weather because they prove the
existence Of two air currents, one warn
and the other cold, and the mingling O.
these often causes rain.
The primrose is yellow because, as thu

HUNTING,
The Movement In England to Stop the
Cruelties of Misnamed "Sportsmen."

The Movement In England to Stop the
Cruelties of Misnamed ''Sportsmen.'
The Royal B%uckhounds have COM
menced the season of hunting the tame
deer in Windsor park and the adjacent
country, although over a year ago the
government promised to consider the ad-
visibility Of abolishing this misnamed
sport, and although the queen herself
is known to regard it with anything but
favor. The Humanitarian league has
again taken up the subject, and to Lord
Rosebery will shortly be presented a pc
tition in favor Of the prohibition not
only of tame stag hunting, but of all
kinds of so called sport other than fail
hunting.
The practices aimed at by the petit
TONERS include pigeon shooting and
coursing hares and rabbits within in
closures. The petition is signed by
8, 900 humanitarians, headed by George
Meredith, the novelist, and the list con
tains the names Of all the best known
poets, artists, writer's and dreamers, with
a good mixture Of practical politicians
like Timothy Healy and John Burns. -

The Deadly Breach at Wagner.

July 81 was the date of battle more

most of the soldiers in both were tre-
mendously scared. Napoleon said, Il

the war might have dated from Bun

ment In gray approached ana was
about to be deluged with canister, when
the chief Of artillery declared that the
strangers were friends. Several Union
regiments wore cadet gray on that
field. The gunners held their fire, but
the men in gray did not. They pep
pered the batteries at slose range, cut
ting down every cannoneer and killing
many of the horses. Ricketts, lieuten-
ant was killed, and he himself terribly
wounded. Lying where he fell, he was

the timber where the Confederates lay

uvpothctlcal Trolley Tunnels

The trolley-car party Is as popular
here as in other cities, but II remained
for Baltimore wit TO invent an attract
i've novelty for the trolley ride. Last
week, says the Faltimcre American, a
party of forty, comprising a due pro-
portion of gay youths and maidens
properly chaperoned, started for a ride
to Glyndon. On the return trip a men,
Der suddenly left his seat and had a
long whispered consultation with the
motorman, whose subject he refused to
divulge to his curious companions, al-
though, stimulated by the mischievous
twinkle in his eye, they piled him with
questions. On merrily went the car till,
all at once, the motorman sang out:
"At the top of this hill look out for
the tunnel!'
The mystifled members OF the party
looked at him and one another in
amazement, for no tunnel could they re-
member on the road. But when the top
Of the hill was reached they shot into
quick darkness. for the motorman had
turned off the electric lights. A peal Of
laughter rose as the joke was seized,
and then all over the car arose sounds
of an osculatory nature which the per-
picked chaperones could not locate, but
were pacified when told the girls were
only kissing their hands In Difference to
tunnel customs. Six tunnels were
passed and finally the motorman cried
out:
Last tunnel before we reach the
city, and the tunnels We're unanimous

Smelling a Port.

Bombardments are very terrifying
but small arms do the killing.
During the bombardment Of Freder-
icksburg only one citizen of the town
was killed. Vicksburg was often under
bombardment during two years, and
prior to the siege only two persons
were killed. Shells were thrown into
Charleston during the whole period OF
the war, but only a few persons were
fatally hurt.
Porter's fleet Of fifty men Of war bonn
barded Fort Fisher all Christmas eve
and all day on Christmas day, 1864,
throwing into the place 10000 projectiles
and killing three confederates.
Marshal Bazaine's statement that 50,-
900 Of his soldiers were struck by mis-
siles of the enemy during the siege Of
Metz Is incredible.
II Sarah Bernhard was so much i'm
pressed by the recent Smelling of Rio
Janeiro what would she have felt could
she have witnessed the bombardment
of Fort Morgan by Farragut? For
twelve days and nights the firing was
kept up. At times 300 great guns were
necessarily firing. except when they
ceased action to rest the men and cool
the pieces.
Yet the loss OF life was small, and at
Fort Powell, which place he bombarded
for twelve days. only one man was
killed.
But in all the history of the war the
defense of Fort Sumter will ever stand
the most memorable. For four years
that confederate fortress was under
almost incessant bombardment by the
heaviest artillery in the world. The
Rev. John Johnston, now rector OF a
church in Charleston, was major OF en-
gineers in the fort. He tells us that
during the last two years of the war
over $4,000 cannon shot and shells were
thrown into the work.-,jouthern Mag

when he became suddenly possessed to

he would have done 1t but for the

that il is a dangerous thing to play
with. While 1t is not absolutely certain
that n person throwing water on an
