: There is only moderate volume Of
trade throughout the country, the more
noteworthy changes being a checked de-
mand west and northwest, due to the ex-
cessive heat and to storms, continued ia
vorable reports as to the cereal and other
crop prospects and disturbance in indus
trial lines due to the strike Of about 12O,-
900 bituminous coal miners. The reluctance
Of West Virginia operatives to Join in the
strike complicates the situation.
The prospect of an early settlement of
the tariff has strengthened the widespread
feeling Of hopefulness that the autumn
will bring revival Of consumptive de-
mand. Orders for clothing, shoes and hard
ware for fall delivery are already more
frequent at Baltimore, Chicago and Oma-
ha. The movement of dry goods is checked
by midsummer stock taking but retail
business In seasonable lines has been stim-
ulated by midsummer weather There is
no Improvement in demand for cotton or
woolen goods, but the latter are higher
based on the cost of wool. 4,

1t Cured Her.

A well-known Louisville woman was i'll.
and her physician pronounced her in .
critical condition. Among the sympathetic
neighbors was pretty widow who was
lavish in her expressions of sympathy for
the husband and children. And it came to
pass that she began to sympathize with
them to such an extent that she spent most
of her time at the house. When the wife
was thought to be sinking and the family
were beginning to fear the worst, the
widow, walked up to the husband and saidt
dear children. It will be awful if they are
to be reared up without mother to care
for them" At this injunction the wife,
with a mighty effort, raised up in her bed
with the words: ':Oh, you needn't be wor.
ried; am not going to die. No, will not
die, and | can get along very we'll without
your assistance in the future" From that
time the woman rallied, and is now hala
and hearty.-Louisville Dispatch.

Unsuitable appetite and the predatory
instinct of the eagle he joins super.
natural strength and activity and the
temper of the devil. Firmly fastened
at the end of strong smell and 60 feet
OF line, he will leap two yards into the
air and shake his head like a dog in
the effort to disengage himself. There
is no trick known to finny tribes that he
will not practice. He darts under the
boat with a wicked rush and shows his
knowledge of the frailty of the tackle.
He will circle round and round snag
until the line is hopelessly involved.

surface by main strength, ne is off

bee and the thumb pressed upon it

Sometimes he will keep going until the
strands part with a snap and he flashes
on up the river with 200 feet Of costly

when with whirl and lunge and a
momentary flash of his silvery sides he
is away, and another half hour of in
tense struggle begins. It needs a quick
hand, cool brain, wrist of steel and
the patience Of Griselda to capture the
small-mouthed bass when he is at his
best and bent on business.
The history of his introduction to the
Potomac is peculiar. A quarter of a
century ago he was unknown TO these
waters. At that time a farmer with
sportsman's blood in him imported
some of the young and put them in his
fish pond, which was near the river.
Two years after, when the fry had at
tanned respectable size, one of the.
freshets which this country is noted
for overfiowed the pond, broke down it's
walls and swept it's contents into the
river. So pugnacious is the bass that
in the time since elapsed it has utterly
extermina:ed it's largc-mouthed kins-
men, which before was plentiful, and
all other fishes common to the stream.
except minnows, which are too numer-
GUS, and small perch, which escapes
by keeping close to the banks, where
there is not enough water for it's heavy
draught enemy. Even the dread pike
