He had been out so late the night
before that he did not know at what
hour he had come home When he
awoke. he was curious TO learn Just
how rocky he looked. He accord
ingly reached out for the silver backed
hand mirror that lay on the table be
side his bed
Instead of the mirror he got hold of
the silver backed hairbrush. Not rec
ognizing his mistake. he took the crush
up and gazed at the bristles for a
moment. Then he felt of the silver
back and then stared back at the bris
ties.
Good heavens" he murmured at
last. "but need shave!'-San Fran
cisco Argonant.

Hugh Pearson always spoke OF Dean
Stanley as the most absent minded
man In the world. He was driving
once with him into Palmero. He com
planned of feeling cold. and as Stanley
had his travelling bag with him he adj
yised him to put something extra on.
He did so, and both resumed their pa
pers. A loud .augh from some boys
suddenly reused Pearson to the realiza-
ton that Stanley was driving through
the streets in his nightshirt, which he
had put on over his coat in pure alb
sence of mind.

1t is made from formula of Dr. R "
Pierce, the celebrated specialist in diseases
of women at Buffalo, N. Y. 1t is strictly
Temperance medicine, containing neither
alcohol opium or other narcotic poison
Its protracted use does not create craving
for Intoxicating stimulants or deadly mar
cotics. 1t cures irregularities, displace-
ments, drains, alterations, Inflammation,
headache, backache and nervousness. II
prepares the way for almost painless ma
ternity, and insures robustness to the new
born. 1t cures women at home, and does
away with obnoxious questioning and local
examinations.
Some medicine dealers offer substitutes
when you ask for DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. They initiate this medicine
in appearance as nearly as the law will
allow, but they cannot initiate its record
of thirty years of cures.

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW
Formation of Trusts Makes Business
Uncertain.

New York. March Sir. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomor-
row win say.
Failures during the first quarter of
1899 have been in amount Of liabilities
not more than about S26. $50. $50. against
$S1, 71O,142 last year $4S.OO7 ,91O in 1897.
and $57, 525, 1876 in 1896 While the later
returns may increase the amount for
the quarter little, the complete return
which win be given next week, will
be very remarkable in comparison with
that Of any previous year.
Business is not at present improving.
There has been something very like a
check. partly the result of heavy buy
ing, since Jan. /, to anticipate the mar
kets caused by the uncertainty about
the operation of many combinations
and a shade of doubt about foreign af-
fairs also had some influence. The
advance in foreign exchange is attrib-
uted. with or without reason, to prep
arations of the government for paying
off the 900 assured by the treaty
to Spain.
The new rule of the clearing house
banks at New York about taxation of
country checks also causes some shift
ing OF accounts, but the money market
throughout the country is well sup
piled. A period Of transition from one
ownership and management to another
and from one industrial system to an
other when it affects many hundred es-
adjustments throughout the country.
inevitably causes some hesitation in
business.
A little later the many hundred con-
Germs may be doing more business than
they were, just before combinations
were effected. But at the point Of
transition nobody knows just what TO
expect.
There IS much withdrawal of iron
business because continuance of high
prices is doubted, because great pur-
chases made by many works have not
been met by orders, and because works
affected BY many other combinations
proposed are not inclined to buy more
largely.
Prices are strongly maintained at

a total of over $4,000, 600 OF this
amount, 81, 79S,000 was paid into the
treasury in payment of four notes in
part settlement of the debt Of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad. The disburse-
ments during March amounted to $42,-

month of s14,031, 653, or a surplus of
81, 233, $685. leaving the Central Pacific
