the piano in Vienna, often brightens
his talk with "Reminiscences. Il al
ways practiced a piece with six dried
peas" he said to one pupil. When
/ began 1 would lay the six peas on
the piano rack side by side. Then
when / had played the piece through
perfectly. or a part of it, | would put
one of the peas in my pocket. And so
I would go on until l had played 1t
through perfectly six times in sue

pockets. But If / made single mis-

fourth playing. l would put the SIX
peas on the rack and begin all over

dried peas is sure to play as well as
he can."-Ladies' Home Journal.

BRADSTREET'S REPORT.
A Quieting Down Of Distributive Trade NO-
Hardening Of Quotations for
Cereals--C0ttOn Lower.

New York, Oct. 49, Bradstreet's to-
day says:
A quietng down Of distributive trade more
particularly Of retail is reported in telegraphed
advices to Bradstreets this week, growing out
Of the unseasonably warm weather now being
experienced In most sections of the country,
Reflection of this Is found In less urgent orders
received by jobbers in somewhat impaired col
lections at many points As regards prices,
however, this is no appreciable loss Of strength,
the great majority of quotations remaining
steady, and among those making changes, ad-
vances are still numerous. That the business
condition OF the country remains at an unpre-
cedented volume is testified to by the heavy
gains noted in bank clelrings over II year ago
and by the immense increases in railway earn
ings over exceptionally good returns last 0clo-
,ber
simultaneously with the drop in freight rates
this week his come u hardening Of quotations
for cereals partly the result OF this improved
forsign buying meeting the late decline and
partly also that foreign ana domestic demand for
corn has not yet brought out the food of Offer
inss earlier looked for. Wheat has been sym
pathetlcally strong as have other cereals, and
wheat -four has been advanced this week. The
strength Of wool is natural, in view of the very
large sales most of which are claimed to have
been on account Of miners In wooden goods
demand is favorable, and further price advances
are predicted.
The situation Of iron and steel is pc rhaps the
most notable one yet presented. The fea-
ture OF the market is the reported book
ing by the steel rail mills OF the coun-
try Of nearly rs per cent. Of their
capacity for next years delivery. In all l,5OO,-
100 tons OF rails are reported to have been
booked for delivery next year and there is in
addition considerable unfinished business on
1899 account which it Is claimed, will still fur
ther enlarge the volume OF business handled

edly to cover some Of the rail sales, is reported
in the central west at prices little below those

COMPLAINT AGAINST FRIARs.
A Commission Of Filipino Priests to Ex'
plain to the Pope the IniQuitles
Of the Friars.

Manila, Oct. 27.-The Filipino con-
gress has selected commission Of ma.
tive priests to proceed to Rome and
explain to the pope the abuses and in
EQUITIES of the friars and ask for cor
recting intervention. Aguinaldo, in a
recent speech at Tarlac, characterized
the friars as intriguers and abusers OF
honor, law and morality and declared
they compassed SPANS downfall in
the Philippines. He added:
We can have no consideration for the friars'
whose iniquities and abuses are doubtless un-
known to the vatican where only the friars
own misleading representatives are received
II this commission has not yet left Manila, the
fact is due to- the ,machination and intrigue OF
Bishop Mozealada, Of Manila, who is most ef-
ficaciously aiding our enemies.

FOUND ZINC IN eEARY.
Quality Such Is to Be More Than
Anticipated.

]. &. Union: The gentlemen in.
terested in the zinc shaft are elated.
They found zinc, and in richness 1t
surpassed their most sanguine ex-
pectations. As they proceeded the
shale grew so rich that they stopped
blasting and began to use the drill.
They drilled through something over
three feet Of shale, when the drill ran
into the zinc. They went down six
inches, when the drill gave out. The
borings, we are told, show as rich as
could be hoped for. II the vein has
sufficient depth, nothing more could
be wished.
Mr.. E. Thiele is so enthusiastic
that he SAYS 100000 would not take
his interest in the prospect. 1t is to
be hoped that the prospects are fully
up to what is expected.
