A NOBLE PURSuIT

There will necessarily exist some d.
yersity of opinion among those who are
concerned in it regarding the address &C.
livered by ex-senator Henderson, of Ne
braska, as acting chairman of the Ameri
can Bar association, in session at Buff
falo, N. Y.
Gen. Henderson, while he evidently
does not desire to be understood as favor
ing the trusts, has ready apology on his
tongue in their behalf and Is a bit less
critical of them than he happens to be
of those who have set themselves to I'M
doing the sovereignty of the trusts in our
industrial life. But, Notwithstanding the
very discriminating views of the ex-
senator in this direction it is safe to as
sumo that the work will go on, despite
all criticism, to bring these combinations
into some reasonable relation with the
business interests of the people. if moi RI
make an effectual ending of them.
1t is entirely reasonable that a gentle
man Of Senator Manderson's views Of the
improperly of conduct of those who b.va
set themselves against the trusts should
find everything lovely in his own present
calling. For, of course, since the uncer-
tainties of politics have brought his ca
reer as statesman to a temporary close.
it is to be presumed that he has resumed
the active practice of the profession of
the law. And as We say, President Man
derson finds everything lovely, as It
should be, in his own calling. Just how
lovely he finds 1t is best set forth in bis
own language. Speaking of the activity
OF the lawyers and the lawyers assocfa-
lions, Senator Henderson says:
''They have raised and materially ole
waited the standard of qualifications fo,.
admission to the bar, have promoted the
revision and perfection of codes, reformed
many defective statutes, helped mate

assiduously the administration of Justice

MAGNITUDE OF DEMAND.
Feature of Business In
Face of High Prices.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-R. G. Dun's
weekly review of trade will say: The
astonishing feature is the magnitude or
demand, Notwithstanding prices which
would ordinarily check it. In products d.
rectly consumed by individuals the larger
employment and better wages of the
working force give explanation. Efforts
to meet the demand call for more stores,
manufacturing works and machinery, and
of the facilities for transportation. as if
every mans wages were in part diverted
to build up the nations machinery of
manufacturing and distribution. The oc-
casion promises quick profits, the build
ing is largely for the future, and 1t goes
on in spite of unusual prices.
Demand exceeds the supply of bessemer
pig, again raising the price. Few iron
works can promise delivery before De-
cember, and most Of the heavy contracts
placed have oeen Tor next year oe-
livery.
Recent advances in boots and shoes
and leather do not prevent large business,
and hides have slightly risen at Chicago.
Shipments of boots and shoes from Bos-
ton are 81 per cent larger than in any
other year to date, were AL per cent
larger in August than in any other year,
"a per cent larger than in 1892 Buyers
press for early delivery. Manufacturers
have contracts further ahead than they
wish. Leather is a little stronger, with
Fl heavy business.
Sales of woods have been moderate, g.
22S. 700 pounds for the week, and for five
weeks AZ, 005, 800 pounds, of which 80, 459, 29O
mounds were domestic, and when the last
great speculation was in progress sales
in the same week of 1895 were 57,66S, 292
mounds. of which 9S7 were domestic.
Some hesitancy in buying by manufac-
t11rers is attributed to current prices, and

bales larger than a year ago the actual
consumption of American cotton seems to
have been about 1O,6 900 bales, so that

LIVING ARROWS.
Species of Gar That Makes Fishing
Dangerous at the Fijis.

Hawaiian Weekly.
This is a fish story, but it's true, If the
writings of a man who signs "F. r. c..
S." after his name count for fact We
all know the gar" a long, thin gentle
man like an elongated pickerel that often
occupies a stall in our fish markets. They
rarely attain a length of over twelve in
ches here, but at Aru. Fiji, and there
abouts they grow much larger and the
bill armed with sharp teeth, is a weapon
to be dreaded.
The fish bask habitually at the very
surface of the water, and become ex-
tremely excited, and. in the larger speci-
mems, vicious at the slightest alarm.
The gentleman who describes the in
cident was collecting specimens Of shells
along the reef in the Aru islands, natives
towing the boat along the streets and by
ways Tossing the useless specimens and
punches of coral overheard again, on do
ing this he noticed that almost invariably
the large gars that were in the vicinity
would start out of the water and dash
away at headlong speed, glancing in and
out of the water like a shot One Of the
fish coming near the boat. he observed
that as soon as its direction could be
determined, the native lifted up the pc
culiar fiat basket that he carried and
held it as a shield, at the same time
raising his club.

firdng nothing in it, hurled 1t back
again 1t fell with a loud crash, and al
most instantly four or five gars darted
from the water. rushing away with in
credible speed. Two of the largest came
flying toward the boat, clearing three or
four feet at a bound. striking the water
and glancing out again, and the native
had barely time to utter a warning cry,
when one of them passed directly over

The quick eye of the native, however.
had followed it. and. stepping back. he
raised the thick basket shield, and re-
ceived the flying gar full upon it, The
blow was so heavy that for the instant
the man staggered, and was nearly
thrown over, while the fish, evidently
stunned and confused by this sudden ar

about him into foam. A spear was soon

USE OF CLOVES.
Some Interesting Facts About the
Gathering of This Spice.

Commercial Enquirer.
More cloves are said to be used In
America than in any other country, Eng
land and France following in the order
named. In this country and in Great
Britain they are used almost wholly as a
condiment but in France they are used
largely in the manufacture Of certain LID
uors. To some degree they are employ
ed in medicine for their tonic properties.
The name Glove is from the French
clou, meaning a rail. The tree is an ever
green, growing from forty to fifty feet
high, with large. oblong leaves and GRIM
son flowers at the end of small branches
in clusters of from ten to twenty.
The tree belongs to the same family as
the guava, the pomegranate and the rose
apple. The cloves are at first white, then
light green, and at the time of gathering
bright red. Pieces of white cloth are
spread under the trees at harvesting time,
and the branches are beaten gently with
bamboo sticks until the cloves drop. They
are then dried in the sun, being tossed
about daily until they attain the rich
dark color
A Glove tree begins to bear at the age
of about ten years, and continues until 1t
reaches the age of seventy-iive years.
There are two crops a year, one in June
and the other in December. Hot weather
is favorable to the crop, although a lit

Filling Up the West.

immigration westward will insure
continuance of the prosperity which that
section of the country is now enjoying.
and in this he is undoubtedly correct.
The proposition is very simple. The
more people there are in a place the
more business there will be there.
The railroads of the West have sys-
tematically populated it and they still
continue the work. immigration this
year Is as great az in any previous year.

likely to differ somewhat on this score,
