What Cigarettes Can do to a Boy,

IF we could be sure the child
would never see anything which
is hygenically wrong, and there's
fore would never be in danger Of
forming wrong habits, in imita>
tion Of his elders, we should fol-
low the advice of certain doctri
naires who say: Teach the posi-
tive, what the child should do,
and not the negative, what he
should not do" Hold up ever
before him the ideal and not the
abnormal, say these objectors.
No Student Of child nature can
hope ever better to understand
the mind of the child, or better
how to influence it for good,
than does the great Teacher,
whose lessons are full of mega
tives, of "thou shall not" which
He commands us persistintly to
teach our children.
In view of the conditions and
the examples which are open to
the imitation of the most fortun~
ate child of our times, we be-
lieye the highest wisdom urges
that he early be fought that to-,
bacco will not help in the way to
1.-The ideal" in body, mind Or
character, and that if he is fought
why he should not use it, he will
be more likely to reach The
ideal" we ought to hold up before
| him, than if he is left unwarned
to follow examples which are
abundant all about him.

N,nmmoth Gun Casting.

The largest gun casting ever made in
this country was cast at the ordnance
department of the Bethlehem Iron
Company Thursday morning. The
casting IS for the tube of a siXteen-inch
gun for the United States Government.
II is nineteen feet six inches long,
octagonal in shape and seventy-four
inches in diameter.
More than 100 gross tons of metal
were used in its manufacture. Three
furnaces, two of forty tons capacit?
each and one of twenty tons, were
used to prepare the metal in. The cast
ing. which is the first and largest of its
kind ever made, was a success in every
way. The jackets for the big gun will
be cast later-Washngton Star.

Suicides often follow, the savings Of

villain who is responsible for these dis

position to prey on the public again.

daughter, will effect pardon and the

TRADE IS MUCH STRONGER.
Exports of Corn and Wheat Almost at
Record Breaking Point.
WOODEN INDUSTRY PUTS ITSELF FORWARD
Wages Have Been Advanced For Nearly
Thirty Thousand Workers in Wooden
and Iron--Failures Heavy For
the Week Just Ended.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says: Tee monthly report of
failures shows defaulted liabilities of
81. go, 1876 in November, against $12, :
700. $50 last year. Because of three
large failures for SO, $50, 900, not due to
present conditions, the aggregate for
November was only 81, 100, 600 less
than last year and except for these
would have been smaller than in Au-
gust, September or October The de-
crease in nearly all branches of bust
ness shows that payments have been
remarkably good and defaults unusually
| small. Other evidences of the state of
business are convincing except in specu-
lative lines Wages have been volun-
tarily advanced for nearly 30, 900 work
ers in wooden and iron. Stocks also
are stronger, having risen S1.07 for
RAILWAYS and 81 81 for trusts. The
true value of the American railway
stock is steadily rising with earnings
which for November thus far are 20.9
per cent larger than last year and 81
per cent in the same weeks Of 1892.
It is the season for waiting in most
| industries, but at least one other fur
mace has gone into blast and the lowest
price of Bessemer at Pittsburg, after
purchases of 80, 900 tons, is $40. ID per
ton, with 50. 25 for Grey Forge.
The voluntary advance of 20 per
cent in wages of worsted workers at
Providence, restoring the rates OF
1898, is evidence of the prosperity OF
that manufacture. After much hes1'
! fancy has been exhibited which may
be justified, the wooden industry puts
! itself to the front, virtually declaring
its ability to face any foreign competi-
ton. The purchases of Australian
wool at Boston have again been large,
1866, 900 pounds out of CLIO, zoo
pounds of Atwood at the three CHIEF
markets, against S,810,S00 pounds
for the same week last year. But
other markets are extremely quiet,
and Boston is doing the selling at
prices not named
The low price of cotton still hinders
much activity in cotton goods. Still
lower prices than ever have been
known resulted in print cloths, and
also in some gr.3es of prints, and the
market for cotton goods is markedly
lower The price of cotton is drop
ping in the face of an enormous for
eign demand, just when an advance
might be expected.
In the long run the outward flow of
grain will affect prices, though the re-
ceipts show much greater yield than
had been expected. SO the receipts Of
cotton from plantations exceed those
from date of the great crop of 10, 1000,
900 bales in 1894 tend to check specu-
lation.
Failures for the week have been 356
for the United States, against 379 last
year, and % in Canada, against 55
last year.

In his message to the general assem-

ernor O'Ferrall discusses the lynching
question and proposes legislation to
correct the evil. He urges that q
heavy pecuniary penalty be imposed
on each county and city in which a
lynching occurs; that wherever the
military may be called out to protect
a prisoner in a county or city such
county or city be charged with the
expenses thereof and that officers who
allow prisoners to be taken from their
custody without first having exhausted
all possible means to protect their
prisoners, be summarily suspended
until the question of their dismissal
shall be determined by jury.
