"Some time ago our daughter, Mrs. Eliza

nervous prostraton that she nearly lost her

Of uaing morphine to quiet her nerves. This

REVIEW OF TRADE.


New York, Feb. l7.-R. q. Dun
& Co.'S weekly review OF trade says;
Business continues larger than ever
at this season In amount Of payments
and on the whole as large as ever
in retail deliveries, though new trans
actions do not yet give assurance that
It will hold at the same rate. Con-
ditions affecting new orders and con
tracts have changed in some respects
most favorably, while other condi-
tions tend to restrict operations for
II time, but conservative judgment
of the conflicting tendencies appear
to warrant strong hope,
The rise of cotton to SIC has
caused such an increase in receipt
and purchases for export that rcac-
ton would ordinarily follow. The
rise in wheat also brings out larger
western receipts, in two weeks 5.444.-
209 bushels. against $3.50, 1866 bushels
last year. The price closed half II
cent higher fof the week, Corn ex-
ports of G,9tl 900 bushels, against
l,SO1,2lj bushels for the same weeks
last year seem to justify the rise
of one cent, as western receipts fall
a little below last year.
The suit of Mr.. Frick against the
Carnegie company to obtain an nc
counting settlement dscloscs enor-
nous profits made when prices of
steel products doubled last year, but
when peace was kept by the gigantic
iron and steel combinations. That
results of great importance may
spring from Il contest affecting the
control Of so mnaN iron works is evil
dent. The new sheet company has
united ownership of 1850 mills. II is
said, but four wideIy-known con
Germs controlling Gji mills refused to
join. Prices Of pig have moi changed,
though considerable sales, including
some for export. hrc reported. but
the excess of supply over demand
which appeared in January is IN
creased by the starting Of a new
furnace with capacity Of GOO tons
daily, A snlc is reported of lj0O0-
600 pounds Of Calumet and lIcckla
copper to consumers Of the Nauga-
tuck valley at lG cents.
Failures for the week have been

The Man With the Axe.

FOR the Reflector.
As springtime approaches the Man
With the Axe begins bis work of dev-
astation. He is short Of firewood but
he is the proud possessor OF an axe
50 he goes to his more fortunate
aeighbor who has beautiful shade
srees and persuades the neighbor that
his trees need trimming. Having
obtained the owners consent he pro-
seeds to destroy all the beauty of-the
trees by cutting off the fine branches
the leaf bearing parts Of the tree
and leaving only lot Of unsightly
stubs.
The Man With Che Axe has gained
some frewood and the owner OF the
trees has left some stumps which
are set up in bear.pits for the bears
to disport themselves upon. II the
trees survive this attack they will
after one or two years growth devel-
.p supply of fine shoots which
makes them resemble WORKOUT
brooms set up on end and just about
as beautiful.
Abilene is indebted to its early set
tiers and especially TO DIR. }. M.
hodge and c. H. Lebold for an abun-
dant supply Of shade trees which adds
so much to the beauty Of the town.
We cannot understand why anyone
who wishes to add to the value OF his
property will allow his trees to be
cut in so barbarous manner as to
destroy all their symmetry and
beauty. ID. Il. HUMPHREY

Was it a new moon, full moon or

Many of these questions said one
interested in the works, have been
taken from list arranged for use II
London, but we have enlarged on it.
Many questions have been suggested
by observations made by city-reared
children while on summer visits to the
country They sometimes ask the
most singular questions and have
equally singular theories of their
own regarding the habits of animals
and the nature of vegetation. The
query as to how sheep gets up was
suggested by little boy who saw
some sheep on Light street wharf.
Other questions were suggested in
like manner. We think it will prove
interesting to learn the theories of
children as well as the results of act
ual observation"
