A UNIVERSAL CONFIDENCE
That Business Will Now Commence
to Improve.
Favorable Reports FROM Trade Cen.
te;s--Heavy Exports of Foup
and General Merchan.
discharge Orders.

New York, Jan. 2-Bradstreets
today:
General trade has been rather more
quiet, and this week proves one of the
dullest of the u season which has fol.
lowed the fortnight of revived demand
early in November. The uneasiness last
week caused by Northwestern bank fail.
ures is continued by similar embarrass-
ments at Chicago and Minneapolis.
These bank failures seem to be the out
come of conditions originating in the
and not due to the situation OF
general trade.
Unreasonable weather, the marking
of inventories and the customary alb
sence of demand in wholesale lines, have
combined to produce more than the usu-
al holiday dullness. More favorable re-
ports include heavy exports of f1our ana
general merchandise from Tacoma to
China and Japan, the receipts at CHI
caSo of a satisfactory amount of orders
for dry goods for spring delivery and an
increased total volume of business in
1896 among ST. Louis shoe manufactur-
ers and jobbers OF dry goods as COM
pared with 1895.
Exports of wheat, -four included as
wheat, from both coasts of the United
States amount to 2,707,793 bushels, as
compared with 2,111,000 bushels last
week, 3,475,0O0 bushels in the week a
year ago, 1875, 900 bushels two years
ago n with 2,026, 900 bushels in the cor
responding week of 1898. Exports of In
dian corn this week amount to 1855 1874
bushels, against 2,46S, 900 bushels last
week, and 1889, 900 bushels in the week
a year ago. Total business failures in
the United States in 1896 in which liza
Eilities exceeded assets number l5,112,
an increase of 16 per cent I'VE 1895,
when the total increase, 2 per cent COM
pared with 1894, i'll which Year failures
fell off is per cent from 1898, when the
total was 1860. the largest 81 record.
Total liabilities of those failing in 1896
amounted to $247. 900, 900, So per cent
more than last year and 65 per cent
more than in 1894, being exceeded only
by total liabilities in the year 1898
$4e2, 000, 900. The ratio of assets to liza
hilities among those failing in 1896 was
80 per cent. an evidence of an unusual
ly high rate of mortality, which is ex-
ceeded only BY the corresponding ex-
hibit for 1898. The commercial rate
was i'll 1896 la per cent, by which 1t is
meant h a i.A1 of every 100 individuals.
firms and corporations in business last
year failed. This death rate was ex-
ceeded only by hat in 1898, when it was
1.5l per cent. In 1895 the commercial
death rate was l.23 ard in 1884 1.21 per
cent.
There were 2,179 business failures re-
ported from the Dominion of Canada
for 1896, al increase of 303. The larger
proportion of the gain is accounted for
by an increase of 100 business failures
in Ontario, twenty-one in the Province
of Quebec and forty-one in Nova Scotia.
The increase of about Ia per cent in
the humble of business failures in the
dominion is accompanied by a gain OF
only Z per cent in aggregate liabilities,
which in 1896 amounted to 16, 20S, 900.

The boy remained after school with a

then stepped into the closet. Frederick

noticed the teachers all leave the building
and began about 4 O'Clock to close the
windows and lock the doors. He went into
he closet in the basement, let down two
windows and called out twice: Anybody
in llere?" Receiving no response he locked
up the building.
When the janitor opened the door of the
closet in the morning he found little Alex

and senseless sleep. The janitor tried to
arouse him, then picked up the half frozen
boy and carried him TO the furnace, where

Across the Atlantic ocean from the
Gull Of Guinea to Cape st. Rogue moves
a great body of water-the main equa-
torial current-which can be considered
the motive power, or handspring, of the
/ whole Atlantic current system, as 1t OBJ
tains its motion directly from the ever
eXactinS push of the trade winds. At
Cape ST. Rogue this broad current splits
into two parts, one turning north, the
other south. The northern part con-
tracts, increases Its speed and, passing
up the northern coast of South America

From here it travels northeast. fol-

off Cape Hatteras. 1t splits into three
divisions. one of which. h WESTERN
life in Bat1in's bay. Another impinges
on the Hebrides, and is no more recog-
nizable as a current; and the third, the
eastern and largest part of the undi-
vided stream, makes a wide sweep to
the east and south, incloslng the Azores
and the dead water called the Sargasso
SEA, then, as the African current, runs
down the coast until, just below the
Canary isles. it merges into the lesser
equatorial current, which, parallel to
the parent stream, and separated from
1t by a narrow band of back water,
travels west and filters through the
West Indies, making puzzling combina-
tons with the tides, and finally bearing

ocean as the southern connecting cur

The secret of Sydney's triumph over ad-
verse circumstances lay hidden in Sydney

herself.
Everything in the ordinary routine of life
at Mount Morven was a source Of delight
and surprise to the unfortunate creature who
had passed through six years Of cruelty, in
suit, and privation at her aunt's school.
Look where she might, in her new sphere of
action, she saw pleasant faces and heard
kind words. AT meal-times wonderful
achievements in the art OF cookery appeared
on the table which she had not only never
tasted, but never even heard OF. When she
went out walking with her pupil they were
free TO go where they pleased without restric-
ton of time, except the time of dinner. To
breathe the delicious air, to look at the glori-
Gus scenery, were enjoyments SO eXquisitely
cxllilarating that by Sydnes's W confess
sion she became quite lightheaded with pleas
ure. She ran races with Kitty, and nobody
reproved her. She rested, out of breath,
while the stronger child was ready to run on
and no merciless voice cried None Of your
laziness: times up!o Wild flowers that she
had never yet seen might be gathered, and
no offense was committed. Kitty told her
the names Of the flowers and the names of
the summer insects that flashed and hllmmed
In the hillside breezes; ana was so elated AT
teaching her governess that her rampant
spirits burst out in singing. Your turn
next" the joyous child cried, when she, too,
was ont of breath. 'Sing, Sydney-sing"
Alas for Sydneyl She had not sung since
those lappiest days Of her childhood, when
| her good father had told ler fairy stories and
taught her songs. They were all forgotten
now. 81 can't sing, Kitty; l can't sing"
The pupil, hearing this melancholy confess
sion, became govcrncss once more. Say the
words, Sgd, and hum the tune after me-"

laughed, too. Looking into tho schoolroom

Almost oil persons die of disappoint-
ment, personal, mental or bodily toll OF
accident. The passions kill men some
times even suddenly. The common ex-
preston "chokod with rage" has little
exaggeration i'm IL, for even though not
suddenly fatal strong passions shorten life.
Strong bodied mon often die young, and
weak men live longer than the strong, for
the strong use their strength and tho
weak have none 10 use--the latter take
care OF themselves, the former do not. As
it Is with the body, so IL is with the mind
and the temper the strong arc apt To
break, or. like the candle run; the weak
burn out. The inferior animals which live
temperate lives have generally their pre-
scribed term Of years. Thus the horse
lives 25 years, the OK l5 or 20, the lion
about 90, the hog 10 or L., the rabbit 3,
the guinea pig or z. The numbers all
bear proportion 10 tho tmo the animal
takes 10 grow its full size. But man, OF
all animals, is one that seldom comes up
to the average He ought 10 live 100
years according 20 the physiological law,
for five times 20 are iU0, but instead Of
that he scarcely reaches an average of four
times the growing period. The reason is
obviOus-man is not only the most irregu-
lar and most incorporate, but the most
laborious and hardworking Of all animals.
He Is always the most irritable, and there
is reason To believe, though we cannot tell
what an animal secretly feels, that, more
than any other animal, man cherishes
wrath TO keep IL warm, and consumes
himself with the fire Of bis own reflections.
