did specimens of metal work of the same century; an exquisite painting of two an- gels by Fra Angelica and a curious robe found on the body of Bishop Bernward who died in 1922 The green color has faded to dull saffron, but the elaborate pattern woven into the silk is still so plain ly visible that other ecclesiastical draperies have since been woven exactly like it in other colors, and they are exceedingly beautiful. When the sacristan showed us a fork and drinking horn which had belonged to Charlemagne we looked at each other and asked doubtfully: Did they, after all, have forks in those days?" But when he showed us piece of one of the jars used at the marriage of Cana, we-well, we didn't say anything!
 There is old Hildesheim, which boasts of some of the finest medieval structures in Europe. and new Hildesheim, which is proud of being bicycle town. It has half a dozen well-equipped shops supplied with German and English wheels. The belief which had been impressed upon us in America that German wheels are heavy is only partly true. Those made several years ago are heavy and are sold corre- Spond1ngly cheap, while the newest wheels are as light and look as we'll as American wheels and cost about the same, from $50 up to $100. Only one American company seems to have an agency in Hildesheim, and the window there is adorned with somewhat startling picture of an American girl, dressed in the national colors, riding very rapidly. How far this picture is re- sponsble for the conservatism of the Ger man women with regard to wheels one would not like to say. It seems that what deters them principally is the fear of be- ing laughed at or gossiped about by their neighbors. One young married woman was induced after long argument and ex- postulation to allow herself to be held on for a few moments, but she evidently was in constant terror of seeing familiar face

We must go to the "polizei" for that. Then hearing that our stay was to be short, he laughed and urged us not to apply 1t would take weeks of time and yards of red tape. and even then the re- quest probaly would be refused, "as the sight of two women would disturb the boys immensely" So we had to content ourselves with what we could see of the building. boys and teachers out of school hours This gymnasium has from AGO to 800 pupils and perhaps less than dozen teachers, all men and all having much more the air of college professors than the latter themselves have. The boys all wear caps resembling yachting caps, but of all possible shades and hues, the grade and class being indicated by the color.
 We are told that we might visit the girls director of that institution. He was very old, very learned, and at first very grabbed He looked us over and then gasped bluntly: Why. I never heard of such thingt" Once more we pleaded, and he queried: What for, thenw Finally however. he yielded on condition that we should not come into his class. and sent for a teacher to show us about.

 The building is charming in it's situation and appointments, far more so, of course, than the "Burgerschule," where the chl- dren of those who cannot afford to pay for tuition are taught the common branches and manual training.

In the next class begins the study of the history, geography and legend of Hildesheim, what the Germans so beau- tifully call "Heimats kunde." In the next class this is extended to "Vaterlandskun- de-" or the study of the whole of Germany in the same way. The next class begins the study of French and more formal geog- raphy and history than that previously taught drawing and singing are also taken up.

BRADSTREETS.
Large Measure of Activity in Business and In-
 duStra Lines.

New York, Jan. 21-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say:
 A large measure of activity in business stances, previous records have been passed md very general steadiness in prices of staples, is perhaps the most notable fea- ture of the trade situation this week. Quo tations of cereals show the most aggressive strength, while those of some makes of pig iron betray rather more decided weak ness than they did week ago. Mild weather is frequently mentioned as an in- fuence tending to check retail distribution of seasonablc goods, chiefly because of the effect on country roads. Spring trade opens slowly as usual at this time of the year, but confidence is still unimpaired. As al- ready intimated, the immense current pro- duction of pig iron, amounting to fully one million tons per month, has begun to ex- ercise an influence upon the price of that staple, but decreases reported are still only fractional. The outlook in the steel rail trade is reported as f1attering one. Higher prices for wool abroad, based partly on short yield reports. are reflected in the firmness of domestic quotations.
 The industrial situation, with the single exception of the cotton industry, is one of exceptional strength. As yet the strikes in this branch of trade. however are largely confined to Massachusetts. Mems wear woolens are moving fairly well. At the west distributive trade is slowly improving, while at the south a fair January trade is reported, particularly in the Mississippi valley. Good returns from last years Louis- iana sugar crop find expression in higher prices for sugar lands. The good export demand for cotton prccludes too heavy &C., cumulations at primary points in spite of the crop movement.

 Shortly after our arrival here we had an encounter with the 'polizei." An of ficer apologetically stopped the .'gracious fraulein' and courteously assured her that she must have a bell on her wheel. The gracious fraulein'' as courteously as- sured him that she would be delighted to have a bell. but that in Hanover it had been placards, Know ye by these pres ents,' etc, and not bells which had been required But the official, with a frown which made the gracious fraulein' turn cold, said in Q loud voice: That is the lawt''
 We reiterated our deep respect for that institution and promised to go immedi- atey in search of a bell, whereupon Herr Policeman turned to the interested crowd of listeners and dispersed them like chaff before the wind with a tremendous sweep of his official arm and the single contempt uous word, ser'-meaning nose wise. inqusitive. When the gracious fraulen'' later on the same day jingled her bell at the officer he seemed to take the whole affair huge joke, and laugh ed until he almost fell over
 The German waiter as a rule is sol emn individual so that the one joke of our waiter here at Hildesheim deserves to stand on record. The first time that we called for our wheels a twinkle of inspi- ration came into his sleepy eyes and he turned to the boy:

THE HAPPIEsT HEART

By John Vance Cheney.
 Who drives the horses of the sun Shall lord it but day;
 Beteltr the lowly deed were done, And kept the humble way. The rust will find the sword of fame, The dust will hide the crown; Ay, none shall nail so high his name Time will not tear it down. The happiest heart that ever beat Was in some quiet breast That found the common daylight sweet And left to Heaven the rest

 Financial Review.
 New York, Jan 2l-Bradstreet's financial review will say tomorrow:
 Irregular speculative conditions have pre- vailed during the week Realizing of profits and bear attacks on prices have been seen, the latter being based on the revival of the Cuban agitation in the house of representatives at Washington and silver measures in the senate. On the other hand. at declines, there were evil dences of buying, and in one portion of the market the normal degree of strength has been shown. This group included the stocks of the Union Pacific and the compa- nies which titles include the name of Ore gon The basis for their activity and strength was the growing belief that the companies in question will obtain an enor- nous amount of traffic in the coming spring and summer from the transporta- tlon of passengers and freight destined to the Alaskan gold fields. The strength SnOW0 III llllS part Ol tIC ihdi FNtt eC r0tH.S extent counteracted the bearish demon- stration in other parts of the market. In the bond list, which was very active, though not to such an extent as last week, the features were also largely furnished by this so-called "F<londike" group or companies.
 Another feature was the local traction stocks but Manhattan was subjected to more or less realizing, and Metropolitan Street Railway which advanced to lf'a suffered a mid-week decline. London itseid was not a factor in the market here. III fact. the public there was inclined to take an unfayorable view of the revival Of sll- yer agitation in congres. On the other hand Berlin and Amsterdam have. been large purchasers of Northern Pacific ana Union Pacific securities The industrials, with the exception of sugar, were neglected and that stock was irregular, ana geher- ally speaking, weak, except when cover ing of the short interest gave 1t tempof- ary advances The Vanderbi,ts were strong in spite of some speculative realizing ana the grangers followed instead of leading the course of the general market Among the outside specialties the feature was the rapid advance in standard oil liqudating certificates which touched 19S, the highest price on record.

dicated that before long an industrial
department win be added to the col
lege. He then gave brief outline of
the work accomplished by the college
since its establishment. He was en-
thusiastic in his remarks upon the col
lege library and reading-room which
has been opened to the public, and
bespoke for it the support of the peo-
pie. He read statistics showing an
attendance of 357, of whom 215 are
from Cache, 1879 being from Logan.
The ages of the students, he said,
range from fourteen to forty-o one, the
average age being nineteen years.
Especial mention was made of the
plan adopted at the institution of hav-
ing small classes, thereby bringing the
pupil and instructor closer together
and increasing the thoroughness of
the work The modern plan of educa-
ton, he said. is to get nearer to the in
dividual and to ascertain his needs
rather than to follow the old style of
herding students together in large
classes. He expatiated eloquently and
at length upon the grand work per
formed for education by the wealthy
men of the nation in the endowment of
colleges and institutions of learning.
