To drown his sorrow, McSwatt In

A recent commercial report shows
the intimate relation between weather
and business. The unusually mild tenn
perature has had it's effect in many
ways. The smaller sale OF shoes is
attributed to the mildness of the
weather. and the absence OF rain and
the slight fall of snow have resulted
in the shutdown of some rubber fac
tories. The sale of overshoeJ, rubber
boots, and mackintoshes is much less
than ever before. The Ice business is
affected, the cut in most localities be-
ing small and giving promise of a
small crop, with dearer prices in the
summer. The scarcity of snow in the
northwest is decreasing the log cut.
Drought in New England resulted in a
shortage OF water In the little streams
that furnish power TO the cotton and
other mills. causing many OF them tc
shut down. This was followed by
floods that brought too high level and
kept the mills stiIl closed. Warm
weather being responsible for scarcity
OF ice and lumber, one would think II
would result in a decreased price of
coal, but, strangely enough, this has
not followed.

Curious as it may appear to many
people, 1t Is, nevertheless, extremely
probable that the war in South Africa
may have the effect of giving an i'm
mense stimulus to mule breeding in
Great Britain. The truth is that the
military authorities have discovered
that the demand for really eligible
mules far exceeds the supply, and as ii
is evident to the public that the prices
paid for such animals are remunera-
tive, 1t is pretty certain that the les
son will receive the attention it de-
serves. In this country the mule is
highly valued for heavy draught work.
When 1t is also borne in mind that the
mule can exist well where a horse
would well-nigh starve, that he is the
most healthy of animals and a willing
worker, in spite of all the jokes which
are made on the score of the obstinacy
displayed by some mules, there can be
no gainsaying the fact that he is a
useful beast.
