Mysteriously Appear.
tomato plants that grew mysteriously
on grave in Holy Cross cemetery, Bos-
ton, have been stolen and a reward has
neen offered for the apprehension of the
timer by Rev. d. w. Savage, father of
the child buried there. Mr.. Savage's lit
tie daughter, Grace, had been, ever since
she was able to eat, wonderfully fond of
tomatoes. This was looked upon as
result OF parental influences, which were
also responsible for birthmark, the ex-
act shape of a tomato on the back of her
mead. Her fondness for tomatoes seemed
TO grow with her years. and it seemed as
II she could eat them all day. About
yesr and half ago the little girl died.
Early this summer her father was as
founded to see several tomato plants
growing up among the flowers and plants
on her grave. No one had planted them,
so far as could be ascertained, and no one
could explain how they came to grow
there. But day or two ago Mr.. Saw
age discovered that someone had evident
ly carried away the tomato plants and
large share of the flowers on the grave.

Bradstreet's says: Trade conditions
still exhibit many of the irregularities in
cident to the transition period between
midsummer and early fall trade. De
spite the hot wave, with its effect on the
growing distributive demand, and also
because of the reports of damage to the
corn crop which it has melted, more
cheerful feeling is perceptible in general
trade. Princes are not showing the pre-
cipitate declines noted some time ago,
and among the really encouraging fea-
lures are the advance in wheat, mainly
based on improved export inquiry.
