the market quiet is construed by buyers
as an invitation for business on a lower

the prospect was reinforced to-day bv

stocks where special causes were at work
the list was almost wholly neglected.

out. The most conspicuous individual

Little Girls Vision.
From the New York World


Bridgeport, Aug. 5-Sophie Fowler the
l2-yeer-old daughter OF Mark Fowler. of
Milford, failed to come down to break
fast last Monday. Mrs. Fowler found
Sophie unconscious in bed. There was
every indication of death, but DR.. A L.
futile said the girl was in a trance. The
physician tried every method to restore
the child but could not. He left instrue-
tons to wafch for the slightest change
IN the girls condition, but none came UNI
III yesterday afternoon, when Sophie
awoke just as though from a natural
sleep.
Mrs. Fowler said nothing to her about
her long sleep, but curiously waited 90
see what her daughter would do. She
arose. dressed and said:
Il must hurry or L will be late to
school But what a strange dream I
had!'' she added
Then Mrs. Fowler told her daughter
she had been asleep since Monday. The
child could scarcely believe it, but told
of strange vision she had seen of
heaven. The girl is perfectly healthy
and has had to relate her dream MANY
times TO callers, some of whom believe
she is inspired
Sophie says she seemed to have been
flying through space for almost a day.
and then she found herself among peo-

welcomed her cordially
II don't want to say that whas / saw
was heaven, for it was different from
what 1 have thought heaven was like.
Still. there seemed to be much happiness
there, and did not see one person who
looked tired or poor.
But my idea of heaven before this
was that everything was dazzlingly
splendid and that every one was dressed
in white. The place l have been in was
not much different from this world except
that everything-the people and the trees
and she birds-seemed to be nearer per-
lection. Why, there were colored dresses
there. and just as many kinds of styles
as here. only everybody wore good clothes
and none poor ones.
There was one time when heard the
most beautiful music I wish 1 could
remember more distinctly about that for
that 'was the only thing that seemed
greatly different from this world. Every
body seemed 10 be singing at this great
service. Every one came to this service.
There did not seem 90 be any other church
or house of worship to go 10.
Strange as II may SEEM no one slept
there at all. And I did not grow sleepy
at all. What impressed me most was
not that everything was so different there
but that everything I did see was so like
what we call nearest to perfection here"

Mines Not Abandoned.

Oglethorpc Echo That operations or
preparations for operation have ceased at
the Morgan mines has created the i'm
preston that the company that was re-
Gently prospecting therein have abandoned
the idea of taking charge of and reopen
ing them. This is not the case The
purpose of what work was done by the
company was 70 obtain fair samples of ore
from the mine. These were obtained and
are being tested. They have gone far
enough with the test to find that while
there is plenty of gold in the ore there
is, as has always been known, an exces-
sive amount of baser metals and tests are
being made TO ascertain the best processes
to adopt to separate these from the gold
The result of these tests will determine
the future course of the company as to
the mines.

Husband and wife Parted BY a Rat.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
ST. Louis, Mo-, July CA pet white rat
has played prominent part In the short
married life of Mr. and Mrs. Chester A.
Fry. and was in the main responsible for
the sudden disappearance of the wife Now
the husband calmly asserts that If his wife
will not return on his account she will
return TO get her pet. Meanwhile the po-
lice are searching for the missing woman.
"If she will not come back Cor my sake,
then she will return for the sake of her
white rat, and 1 will not let 1t out of my
sight"
Such is the explanation OF Fry for his
steadfast refusal to leave the house. If
he leaves the room the rat goes along in
his pocket He has secured the nick
name among his fellow boarders at 500
Pine street of "Ratty." The room on the
third floor from which the woman disap-
peared last Friday is being watched zeal
ously by the husband.
The marriage of the couple several
months ago was the elimination Of a love
romance. Everything went well till the
white rat came between them. The hus-
bands aversion 10 the pet led to differ
ences, and then she left home.

States alone and the present census will
show the present annual value of apiarian
products to be in excess of $40, Geo. j0
There are 10 aparian societies. Eight
journals of some magnitude are devoted
to the industry. Fifteen steam power fac
tories and a very large number of small
factories are engaged in the production
of supplies for the bee industry. Mr. Ben
ten, our bee expert, estimates that the
present existing flora of the United States
could undoubtedly support with the same
average profit ten times the number of
colonies of bees 1t now supports. Think
what that means. An industry of $20)CO0-
oo0 year supporting 100000 healthy,
happy workers.
This branch of agricultural industry
does not impoverish the soil in the least,
but, on the contrary, results in better ssed
and fruit crops. The total money gain to
the country from the prosecution of the
bee culture would undoubtedly be placed
at several times $20010000 annually were
we only able to estimate in dollars and
cents the result of the work of bees in
cross fertilizing the blossoms of fruit
crops.
The demand for American honey is In

New York, Pennsylvania and Vermont

most of the extracted or li0Vid honey
Once the possibilities of the American
