The Bu>iness Revival.

Reports from all parts of the
country indicate a general business
revival as the result of the operation
of the new tariff measure. Brad
streets and Dun's reviews comment
freely on these changed conditions.
Factories that have been quiet for a
year-and-a-half are resuming, money
is easier and business in general shows
more solid and healthful state.
Confidence is being rapidly restored.
capital is seeking investment and
factories are beginning to run over
time to make up for what they have
lost during the period of suspension.
Travelling statesmen are increasing in
numbers, their houses are hearing
from them and the commercial tour
list wears a happy countenance
again. The hotel registers are proof
of the resumption of business. and
the increase in the volume of bust
ness all over the land.

He PREFERRED POVERTY.
After Losing Fortune Spanish Prince

After Losing a Fortune a Spanish Prince
Went to Trimming Electric Lights.
Binghamton is probably the only
city in the United States that has the
distinguished honor of having her cleo
trio lamps trimmed by one having the
royal blood of Spain flowing in his
veins and who at one time, not many
years ago, rolled in luxury.
Maurice Gondalfo is name well
known throughout Central America
and among clubs of New York. Many
years ago his father, who was, it is
said, "a prince of the blood" emigrated
from Spain to Central America, where
he rejuveDated the depleted fortunes
of his family. 1t was here he met and
married a young and charming native,
one of the flowers of the ancient Latin
aristocracy.
The general was in the habit of
strolling about his plantation supervis-
ing the work of his men armed with a
short, heavy sword. One afternoon,
as he was passing through heavily
wooded portion of his estate, he was
attracted by peculiar, powerful odor
issuing from a ravine which branched
off the regular pathway. Forcing his
way through tangle of vine and I'M
dergrowth, a terrible sight met his
gaze. In cleft or cave in the face of
the cliff stood one of his native employees
armed with a short stick, fighting for
his life score of venomous reptiles,
which were kissing and circling about
him.
The brave old soldier, without thought
as to the consequences, drew his sword
and started to the rescue. 1t was a
terrible battle amid the poisonous vi
pers, but finally the last of the reptiles
was dispatched and the general turned
to his companion, who was already
deathly sick. He had been struck in
two places and it was evident could
not survive. Before he died, however,
he told the general that the cave was
the entrance to rich vein of gold,
and though discovered many years
ago by natives, it had never been
worked, being guarded by the veno-
nous reptiles.
A gang of men under the generals
direction cleared the cave. 1t proved
to be a gold mine and made Gondalfo
wealthy. When the general died Maui
rice, his heir, came to New York, where
he formed many acquaintance among
the clubmen of the metropolis. I'm
fortunate speculations caused his for
tune gradually to disappear, until he
decided to come to this city. Slowly
but surely his sustenance melted away,
and at last he was obliged to seek en-
ployment. Through the influence of a
friend he obtained a position with the
General Electric company trimming
the arc lights about the city at sal
airy of sixty dollars a month. He de-
clares that to-day he is fully as happy
on his income with his family as he
was when rolling in riches, the favored
son of two continents. Y. Press

An old lady once humbugged the Gus

channel two or three times week
when the weather was anything like
good.
She always gave the men at the
gargway tracts, and the custom Off
GERS, too, if she could get near them.
She always carried n good-sized Bible,
closed together with a broad elastic
.band. One of these officials tells the
story in the Westminster Gazette.

Bible, which was not often, she was
doing so quite at the beginning, some
where about Genesis " Exodus.

CYCLING IN JAPAN.
Some Queer Costumes Worn by the Nativ

Some Queer Costumes Worn by the Native
Women.
The all-conquering bicycle has in
vaded Japan. and is now familiar
sight in the land of the jinril1isha. The
Europeans take to it kindly and the
little brown men and women are equal
ly enthusiastic. The government, says
the Philadelphia Press, has equipped
many of its postmen with roadsters,
especially those who deliver mail in the
suburbs or in the country districts. In
each brigade bicycle corps has been
formed who are daily drilled in about
the same style as similar organizations
in the armies of Europe. The japanese
people themselves still regard the
wheel as a great curiosity, but are be-
ginning to both master and manufac-
ture it. Some of the japanese women
have adopted a queer bicycle costume
that is combination of the bloomers
with native dress. 1t is neither Jap
anese nor European. Combined with
the upper part of the Ramona costume
the japanese ladies sclothe their neither
limbs in what are neither knicl1erbOck-
ers, trousers, zouaves nor boomers.
The ludicrous effect is heightened by
the girl having national habit of turn
ing the toes in, developed to its largest
extent. All that you see when she
