A trick of habit to be noticed in
many returned volunteer soldiers was
publicly observed Mt the horse show
the other day. An exhibitor, who
was an officer and did Hgood work in
Cuba, was approached by his groom
to receive orders. The orders given,
up flew the hand of the groom to his
hat. But, to the astonishment of
every one around, up also flew the
hand of the ex-soldier to his hat, and
the groom's gesture was responded to
with a military salute. In a moment
the smile of the ex-officer showed that
he realized what a victim OF habit he
had become, but the first impulse ap-
peared to be irresistible. 1.-THE fact

Of which is impossible because of the lack
Of producing capacity. This is the first
time In the history OF the trade when the
demand has so exceeded the supply that
manufacturers have had to resort to any
such means to check them. Dun's review
says that in every way the condition Of
trade in nearly all lines is satisfactory. 1t
says:
'More gold Is coming, 80, $50 900 at a
Francisco and q little direct from Europe,
and the debt OF other countries to this is
rapidly increasing. Nobody has explained
how 1t Is to be settled, and the decline In

strong desire to limit the Indebtedness.
