When Russian Christian dies he is
dressed in the costume of his calling,
as the late emperor was dressed in the
uniform of an infantry regiment. The
costume of mans profession is chosen
to clothe his corpse because every man
is held to direct account for his plain
duties in the present life and his call

The late emperor when dying re-

In theirWeekiy review ofstralle. 50 y: '5a.. :
1.-THE! exports Of S. $50; 600 gold this week
have produced no monetary disturbances.
and this Is at once proof Of the soundness
of financial conditions and Of prevailing
confidence In better things TO come. 1t does
not matter whether gold, Is required for
Russia or anywhere else; it would not go
from this, rather from other countries. II
there were not balances to meet. Much
OF the hesitation at present is due to
temporarily reduced demand in some In
dustrles. and in iron and steel. the power Of
the new combinations Is being generally,
tested by refusal of orders, so that produce
ton exceeds consumption. but the low con-
sumption exceeds new buying. The general
irregularlty Of prices and slackness Of de-
mand for finished products does not pre-
vent the narking-,lp Of prices by combina-:
tons, but are largely due to doubt whether
such prices as are fixed can be maintained.
Fig iron Is weaker at the the east and also
at Pittsburgh. tin steady and lead slightly
lower. and American tin plate 80 cents be-
low foreign. a.
For textile manufactures, the situation
IL trying. Cotton mills have a fairly active
demand. though not equal to their normal
output. and for many months have been
accommodating goods. hoping for better
things, so that some are now stopping. al
though the demand for good grades with
higher prices for cotton. has helped to a.
small advance in prices. Print cloths are
an eighth higher but some other grades
have declined; so that the average Of all
quotations is. slig htly lower. i
At the west traders are buying much
above the parity OF seaboard prices, and
many growers are refusing to sell, believ-
ing that the upward squirt Of last year will
be repeated. Sales for the week have been
less than half a weeks full consumption.
Mems woo!ens show no Improvement. but
there is more active buying in f1annels and.
the demand for fancy dress goods is en-
couraging, though for plain goods it is but,
moderate.
Cotton speculation has lifted the spot:
price to S31 cents. and profits have been
realized from the men who have sold cot
ton they did not own, but 1t is still the fact
that the outlook for next falls crop Is un-:
usually favorable, while stocks here and
abroad exceed all possible demands until

Habits Of the Nile -Worshiped
/ AS songster the crocodile is not
to be compared to the bulbul, but hs
can, without any exertion, hold his own
jim that respect with the bull. Like the !
latter he bellows, but, unlike him, Ec
bellows at night, whereas the bull on.y
bellows during the day, except when lie
Us badly scared. With these EXCEPTIONS
there is nothing in common between
the crocodile and either the bulbul or
the bull. E There is no definite informa-
tion to be obtained regarding the exc
act lines upon which the first crocodile
was built. It is maintained by those
who have devoted lifetime to study
of his interior that the traces of dia-
phragm which are to be found in him
to-day show that his Organization must
have at one time borne some resem-
blance to that of warm blooded AMI
mails.
/ There is little in the animal kingdom
that can look so dead and be so much
unsuspecting persons who have mis-
taken him for a log and have failed to
discover their mistake until it was too
late to be of any benefit to them will
never be known. In ancient times,
several years prior to the British occu-
patton of Egypt, some of the people Of
that country worshiped the crocodile as
a god, there being nothing else like
him. They fed him on dainties and
logged him out with jewels. In other
parts of Egypt, however, the natives
looked upon him as devil. Having
no firearms, they did not fill him with
lead, but they managed to immediate
him successfully with such weapons as
were fashionable at the time. | tsfa
The crocodile is not so numerous in
the Nile as he was in the days of the
Rameses family; in fact, he rather
shuns the river now below the second
cataract on account Of the annoyances
inseparable from tourist traffic It
seems impossible for tourist to see q
crocodile without trying to plug him
with a revalver, and to reptile that is
fond of quiet life this sort of thing is
simply insufferable. He will not me-
lest a man unless he can take him at {.
disadvantage, and so long as man does
not, unthinkingly, step on him, the
crocodile will go his way and calmly
await his opportunity. -
His methods of capturing large game
are plural as well as singular. Some
times he will lie on river bank, partly
covered with sand or mud, until ali
absent-minded native wanders within
reach. Having grabbed his prey he
will waddle into the water and there
drown the struggler. He will then
drag his victim ashore and bury him in
sand or mud and wait for days before he
gorges himself. -. ,sssz.ss-
His favorite plan of providing food
for himself in the water is to depress
his head and tail and float withthe cur
rent. While performing this act he.
looks like an old, blackened log

Although a very busy man, DR. j V
Pierce, of Buffalo, n y, has found time
to write a great book of over 1000
pages entitled, The Peoples common
Sense Medical Adviser in Plain Eng
llsh, or Medicine Simplified. Few
books printed in the English language
have reached so great a sale as has
this popular work, over $50, 900 copies
having been sold at Sl.5O each. The
profits on this enormous sale having
repaid its author for the great amount
of labor and money expended on it's
production he has now decided to give
away, absolutely free, 500, 900 copies of
this valuable book, the recipient only
being required TO mail TO the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Association of Buff
falo, y Y, OF which company he is
president, twenty-one two-cent stamps
to cover cost of mailing only, and the
book will be sent postpaid. 1t is a
veritable medical library complete in
one volume. IL contains zoos large
pages aud over 800 illustrations, some
Of them in colors. The free edition is
precisely the same as that sod at al. so
except only that the books are bound
in strong MANILA paper covers instead
Of cloth. II is not often that our read
ers have an opportunity 70 obtain a
valuable book on such generous terms,
and we predict that few will miss
availing themselves of the usual and
liberal offersto which we have called
their attention.
