REVIEW OF TRADE.

The retarding influence of cold and un-
seasonable weather has passed. The gain
in business IN spite Of IL was seen week ago
and has become clearer TO all. As no genu-
inc Improvement ever begins with an up
lifting OF prices before the producing force
has become fairly employed, this does not.
There is evidence of gradually enlarging
business IN every important department,
more establishments have been set at work
and more hands employed, and while pru-
dence still hinders speculative excesses, the
progress toward better things unchecked.
Reports from the various cities show very
general progress and a continuing large dis
tribution through retail trade. The proof is
clearer as II should he, in the industrial tn an
in the trading field. Contracts providing for
consumption Of seven million tons OF Iron
ore have already been made.

A QUEER AMIN AL.
Tho Australian Duck Bill Carries .
Sting In One Leg.


Sting In One Leg.
Australia certainly holds the palm
for queer and uncouth animals, says
the Literary Digest. Chief among
these is the duckbill or ornithorhyn-
chus, which Sidney Smith described
as "a kind of mole and webbed feet
and the bill of a duck, which agitated
Sir Joseph Banks and rendered him
miserable from his utter inability to
decide whether it was bird or
beast" 1t was only recently that IT
was proved beyond a doubt that this
curious animal lays eggs like bird,
though this had long been reported by
travellers. Now comes the news that
1t has a sting on its hind leg, capable
of killing by its poisonous effects. We
quote from the Lancet
For long time 1t was considered to
be quite harmless and destitute Of any
weapon of offense, although the hind
legs of the males were armed with a
powerful spur, apparently connected
with gland. Then the opinion was
advanced that this might be a weapon
allied to the poisonous armory CT
snakes, scorpions and bees, all Of which
possess sort of hypodermic POISON
syringe. Though one set of observers
asserted that this was the case, an
other set denied, and so DR.. Stuart de-
termined, il possible, to solve this Ques-
ton. He received two independent ac-
counts, which conceded perfectly, and
from them he concludes that at certain
seasons, at all events. the secretion is
virulently poisonous. This mode of at
tack is not by scratching, but by lat
eral inward movements of the hind
legs. Two cases are reported in dogs.
One dog was 'stung' three times, the
symptoms much resembling those OF
bee or hornet poison. The dog was evil
IDENTIFY in great pain and very drowsy,
but there were no tremors, commissions
or staggering. 1t is worthy Of note that
certain immunity seems obtailable,
for the dog suffered less on the second
occasion and still less on the third.
Two cases OF men being wounded are
reported, in both Of which the animals
were irritated, one by being shot and
handled, the other by being handled
only; the symptoms were the same as
in the dog. No deaths are reported In
human beings, but four in dogs"

How 100 Women Were Lured to Ore

There are plenty of women in Oregon
politician who is in Washington to see
that the state is not forgotten in the

DRY OF many of us when women were
very scarce there. We gave ii out that
we wanted them for school teachers
and the like, and encouraged them to
come out there. but the truth was the
men wanted them for wives.
Il remember once we sent a young
man to Massachusetts,, where he was
well acquainted, with orders to collect
100 young women and to escort them
back to Oregon. We guaranteed every
one Of them years employment. The
active man in the matter was fine
looking young man, who afterward
served two terms in congress from our
state. He spent two months IN select
ing the party and started west with
them.
ION the trip out he courted one of
the school teachers on his own hook
and actually got her consent to a mar
riage on the arrival of the train at
Portland. The boys howled consider
ably about it. claiming that he had
treated them unfairly in having first
choice, but there was lot of fine, mar
riageable material left. Some Of those
women are today the leading ladies OF
the society OF the state. More than
three-fourths of the hundred were mar
ried inside of three years and many in
less than one year. A few OF the lot.
however, are teaching school there to-
day, not that they did not have any
offers, but because they would not ac-
cept any of the fellows who offered
themselves.

A New Scheme.

A clever swindler has been
operating in New York and New
Jersey, and at last accounts was
heading south, so that it is quite
likely Cecil county will be honored
by a visit from him. An exchange
thus describes him and his method
of operations:
He represents himself to be a son
of Peter Henderson, the founder of
the well known New York seed
firm. He is usually accompanied
by another man, who impersonates
a gardener. The swindler is about
so years of age, more than six feet
tall, with a slight stoop in his
shoulders. He is heavily built and
wears a sandy stubby mustache.
He offers for sale a plant of an
improved variety that he calls
"Clemontis." 1t is usually a piece
of poison ivy, Or some other weed
he has dug in the woods and
wrapped in straw. The man with
him does the work of planting the
vine after it is purchased. The
main swindler is gardener and can
talk very learnedly about hoticul-
ture. The people are warned to
look out and should he visit them
the police should be notified at once.
