Guilty. Andrew carried the mail for
year, then one day he failed to reach
home. There were valuable letters in
his sack, and the inference that he had
decamped was strong. On the night he
should have come into Silverton his

unable to speak English, got off the
stage. AS county attorney / had to

and sent out parties to search the pass,
but to no effect. A miner claimed to
have seen him week later in Leadville,
but we got no more trace of him. The
brother refused to believe that Andrew
had done wrong and spent his days
tramping the canyons searching for his
brothers. body We tried to get him to
go to work, but he did not yield until
by his shortness of funds he was starved
to it. In tho summer, when most of the
snow was off, he searched again, but in
vain. During the winter he worked,
but when the second spring came he re-
newed his lonely trampings up the trail.
We thought him demented, but he cared
not for our opinions. One day in August
he walked along at the base of cliff
and saw boot sticking out from some
debris. He uncovered it, and his search
was ended. That evening he came into
town with the mail sack, much stained
but intact, and his brothers. coat The
grave he dug, with the rough stone he
afterward put at its head, is up the

begrudge it. When it was done, he went

value Of the Egg In Sickness.

The value Of egg albumen as food in
certain diseased conditions is pointed
out by DR.. O. E. Boynton. When fever
is present and appetite is nil, he says,
when we want an aseptic article Of
diet, the white of an egg raw serves
both as food and medicine. The way to
give it is to drain off the albumen from
an opening about half an inch in diam
eter at the small end of the egg, the
yolk remaining inside the shell. Add a
little salt to this and direct the patient
to swallow it. Repeat every hour or
two. In typhoid fever this mode of feed
ing materially helps US in carrying out
an antiseptic plan of treatment. Fur
thermore, the albumen to certain ex-
tent may antidote the toxines of the
disease. Patients may at first rebel at
the idea of eating raw" egg, but the
quickness with which it goes down
without the yolk proves it to be less
disagreeable than they supposed. and
they are very ready to take a second
dose. Pacific Medical journal.

1t decrease of 4,216 tons weekly in unsold stocks. If the first and last of the month represented average production, the quan- tity consumed in manufacture would be 3S per cent. less than the highest ever at tained in May, small decrease for mid summer. But, in fact, the average produce ton was larger and decrease in consump- tion was smaller. Just when stagnation is customary very many mills are crowded with orders for months.
 It is still between seasons for wool, but a few large purchases indicate some dis position for business, and the demand for woolen goods is better though prices for some have been reduced and the competi- ton as to serges seems likely to be excess i've.
 Cotton has been steady in spite of good crop prospects, owing to larger foreign buying The mills are doing their share and the demand for goods is gradually growing better.
 Wheat has been dropping in prices under estimates of 6S0 100000 to 700,000,0OO bushels this year.
 The foreign outlook has much improved, and the decline in price during the week was about cents for spot and 31a cents for the nearest option. Corn exports are decreasing and the price is 1 cent stronger.
 Failures for the week were 215 against 263 last year.

Chickamauga National Park, Ga., July 15.-Major- General James F.. Wade, com mander of the Third corps, is in command of the army at Camp Thomas during the absence of General Brooke, who is in Washington.
 The troops at the park are. perhaps with cut exception, anxious to go to Porto Rico.
 The regiments took advantage of day of sunshine following two days of almost incessant rain, and were out early this morning doing drill work and engaging in target practice. The scores have been surprisingly excellent.
 The telephone system at the park has been abandoned and the army officials are depending entirely upon the telegraph, the signal corps having perfected an excellent division headouarters. This system gives General Brooke and headquarters direct communication with the war department.

But Americans have grown to see that not many outside matters greatly influence the business which enables to make the s1,210 274,O15 worth of domestic products abroad in year against $616, ,052 .S44 worth imported. The new loan has proven a stupendous success and it is now the question of chief interest whether any of the banks will get enough,
 after personal subscriptions have been ac- cepted to support further circulation. In dustries and business are at the natural lowest point for the year and therefore the
 records are the more impressive
 There is a little more hopeful feeling In the iron and steel trade, the result partly
 of reduced output and stocks of pig, and
 partly owing to the large business reported offering particularly at the west, where some mills will forego their usual summer shutdown, and others will curtafl the va

 cereals caused by the usual tendency to
 discount government crop reports and look
 for larger than indicated crop yields, the

 mess. Contradictory reports come as to

New York, July 15.-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say:
 Pending the initiation of new fall business preparations for which are actively under way in all markets there exists a quiet midsummer condition accompanied, how ever, in most cases by price steadiness and confidence in a promising outlook for fall trade. Some of the favorable conditions experienced during the first half of the present year seem bound to be duplicated during the second half While there seems little reason to expect anything like the ex- cited foreign buying of cereals this year which occurred last season, the worlds wheat crops all pointing to exceptionally large, if not record breaking, yields, still the situation of carried-over supplies, vis- ible and invisible is such as to lead to confidence in a good general demand for most of this country's surplus though the outlook favors considerable shading of prices obtained from such products.
