GAINING WITH sTEADINEss.
Gratifying Improvement in Business All
Over the Country.

Dunn & Co.'S Review of Trade for last
week says: The speculative markets have
had their turns ofreaction, but business has
had none this season, gaining with a
steadiness which is most gratifying. The
starting of works, increase i'll hands en-
ployed, advance in wages and prices OF
products and the heavy movement OF
crops are facts before which all speculative
influences have to bow,
The weeks dispatches mentions sixteen
iron works which have started against one
closing. Fifteen WOODEN works have also
started up, and so it is in many other
branches, while many more works have
increased their forces and many are pre-
pairing to resume, some of which have IN
the wages of their employees.
While these things continue, with grain
rising and going abroad in enormous guam
titles, the money markets have every rea-
son for Astounding confidence and the spec
ulative markets for strength.
The crop prospects are contradictory,
as is usual at such a time, but it is note
worthy fact that none of them indicate
ANYTHING less than an ample supply of the
great staple.
The failures for the week have been
223 in the United State against 22S for
the same week last year.

Reasons for Divorce.

A North German spouse sought re-
lease from brute of husband be-
cause he advertised her TO go to the
masquerade as a captive balloon, with
a string tied around her ankle. In Ida
ho of late a wife of that region sought
bill of enforcement, one count in her
Indictment being that her husband
smoked a pipe in their bedroom. In
his demurrer he declared that he
smoked only the best tobacco; that his
wife knew he smoked when he married
her, and might nationally have expected
the occasional fumigation of their
dormitory. He declared also that he
habitually smoked on the doorstep, eX-
cept when it rained, and that his wife
objected to his going to the saloon
when it did; as to his smoking in the
parlor, he averred that he tried it once
in his early conjugal days, and had no
inclination to repeat The experiment,
He was therefore forced to take occa-
sional refuge in the bedroom, but gen.
orally smoked out of the window, as a
loving and considerate husband should
do. No statute was foundin the Idaho
codex covering the case, which the
Judge advised them TO settle out Of
court on a basis of mutual tolerance
and conciliation.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Never before in medical annals has any
medicine received such widespread praise and
endorsement from physicians, druggists and
all classes of the people as is bestowed upon
the great curer of disease, DR.. Greene's Nery-
ura blood and nerve remedy. 1t purifies and
inyigorates the blood, making pure, rich, red
blood, and it is therefore the grandest OF blood
medicines. 1t gives life, strength, energy,
power and vigor to the brain and nerves, and
hence is the greatest nerve tonic, brain inyig-
rant and nerve restorative ever before known
IN the worlds history. 1t banishes headache,
backache, neuralgia, rheumatism, and has thus
demonstrated itself to be the surest and quick
est pain reliever in existence. 1t cures stomach,
liver, kidney and female complaints with q
positive certainty which is unequaled and I'M

Manufactured.

Consul Fraser Reports on How 1t IL
Manufactured.
An interesting account of the manu-
facture of the so-called Indian ink,
which is made only in the Anhui prov
irce of China, is given by Mr.. Fraser,
our consul at Wuku, on the Yang-tSze,
in his last trade report. 1t is more cor
rectly called China ink-encre de Chine
and from Anhui it goes to every part
of China and all over the world. In
1895 about two tons Of it, valued at
6 564, were exported from Shanghai to
foreign countries. The materials with
which this beautiful black ink is made
are sesamu1n or COLA oil, or the oil eX-
pressed from the poisonous seeds OF
tree extensively cultivated in the Yang
tsze valley, and also we'll known in
Japan. To this varnish and pork fat
are added. The lamp-black made by
the combustion of these substances is
classed according to the materials and
the grade of fineness, and also accord
ing to the time taken over the process
of combustion. The paste made of this
lampblack has some glue added, and is
beaten on wooden anvils with steel
hammers. Two good hammers can pre-
pare in Il day so pieces, each weighing
half a pound. a certain quantity OF
musk of the muskdeer or of Baroos
camphor, for seeming, and gold leaves,
varying from 20 to 16O TO the pound, are
added to give a metallic luster. The
materials thus prepared are nodded in
molds of carved wood, dried, which
takes about 90 days in fine weather,
and adorned with Chinese characters in
gliding. About 80 average-sized sticks
of ink GO to the pound. The price
varies from two shillings or less per
pound to as much as seven pounds,
there being over dozen different
grades. Nearly all writing is done by
the natives throughout China, Japan,
Corea, Tongking and Anam with this
China ink, rubbed down on stone ink
slab, and applied with a paint BRUSH
of sable, fox or rabbit bair, set in
bamboo holder, and when not in use
carefully covered with a protecting
brass cap. The superior kinds of this
ink appear to be used in China, and not
exported. -Manufacturer.

THE BUMBlEBEE. :,
The Big Queen Searches for Home
in the Early Spring.

The Big Queen Searches for n Home
in the Early Spring.
In early spring, when the meadows
first take on a tinge of green, and the
apple trees put forth their rosy buds, we
may often see single large bumblebee
flying low and swiftly back, and forth
across the lawns or pastures.
These great bees are the'queens who
have just awakened from their long
winters sleep, and are now seeking
some favored spot wherein to COM
mence housekeeping and found col
ony; for these insects, like their cousin,
the honeybees, live in colonies consist
ingof three classes, or "drones,"
or males" Queens" or females" and
workers" When our big queen has
at last discovered a satisfactory build
ing site, usually deserted mouse hole,
she cleans it of all rubbish and litter,
and places within a ball of pollen, III
which she lays her eggs. The young
grubs hatch out possessed with enor-
nous appetites, and, feeding Oh the pol
len, eat into it in all directions. At last,
when fully grown and their craving for
food is satisfied, they spin cccoons OF
silk in the remains of the pollen, and
change to pupa. While her family is
thus sleeping quietly within their silken
cells, the old queen is constantly at
work, building up and strengthening
the cocoons with wax.
Finally, their sleep being over, the
pupa cases burst, and the young bees
come forth in all their glory of black
and golden livery and gauzy wings.
The first brood consists entirely of
workers, who Immediately fall to and
relieve their tired mother queen of all
work and duties, with the exception Of
laying eggs. They fly hither and
thither, always busy and Industrious,
now plunging into The center Of gor-
geous hollyhock or sunny dandelioh,
or buzzing about among the modest
daisies, or diving head first into some
sweet-scented, aristocratic lily or rose,
always emerging from their quest for
honey covered with the golden dust OF
pollen. The honey and the pollen thus
gathered are stored away, and the eggs
laid in the waxen cells from which the
workers issued and the next brood,
composed of drones and young queens,
feed upon this store of nectar.-St.
Nicholas.
