SAND GLASS STILL NEEDED.
Used in Sick Room, Music Room, Kit

Used in Sick Room, Music Room, Kit
chen and on the Table.
Sand glasses are made in large vari4
ETY. as to the divisions Of time they
measure. There are hour glasses,
three-minute glasses, and so on; and
these several glasses are used for
many different purposes. The hour
glass is mostly used in the sickrOom,
and in the music room. In the sick
room it is used as a guide in admins
tering medicine. With it there is no
need of watching the clock, no doubt
about when the last dose was given, or
anything of that sort; but when the
sand in the glass has run out the medi-
cine is given and the glass is turned,
and so on. In the music room it is
used for the convenience of the teach
er and also for the guidance Of the
pupil. There are also made ten-min-
ute glasses, of which a few are used
for medical purposes, and this glass is
also used IA the kitchen. There is a
fiVe-minute glass which is largely a
kitchen glass, used to boil eggs by and
for other purposes, and the three-min-
ute sand glass is called an egg boiler.
While the sand glass in its various
forms is thus commonly made to serve
some useful Purpose, it is also come
times used for decorative or ornamen-
tai purposes, and sometimes the hour
glass is made use of for the purpose
of a souvenir. A traveller brings home
for example some sand from about the
Sphinx, or from Palestine, and as sim
pie and secure way as any in which
it can be preserved is in an hour glass.
The sand requires suitable treatment,
including very lively grinding, but all
this is readily done, and hour glasses
OF this kind are not infreQuently made

AS to marriage and divorce, in the
presence of this evil the church cannot
allow its rules on the subject of divorce

the church law be amended to more
perfectly express the New Testament
rule Of marriage. But by the voice of
its public assemblies, by its pulpits,

cipIine the church should keep itself

DUNN'S WEEKLY REPORT.
The increase Exports is Twice as
Large as Total of Imports.
PRICES CUT---TRADE LARGER.

New York, May THE state of
and used to support, several theories
already. The simple fact is that some
reaction from the abnormal excite
ment and expansion and rise of prices
last year was necessary to continued
prosperity. Its duration may there
fore be expected to depend upon the
promptness with which production and
prices adjust themselves to actual de-
mands. Much progress in that adjust
ment has been made during the past
week, with increased activity already
resulting. Strikes springing from dis
putes about the terms of work and
wages for the coming year have also
made distinct progress toward settle
ment. The reduction in prices of iron
and steel and their products has gone
far enough to bring out much new
business. At the end of last week cut
nails were reduced 45 cents per keg and
In plates and bars somewhat lower
prices have been reported. Prices for
sheets have not yet been named, but
in pipes and tubes there is some
yielding, with larger business in fence
and other wire since the reduction.
The close of the wool year has come
without the scarcity which some ex-
pected. Until prospects for the new
crop of cotton are more settled, the
pressure of English spinners for sup
plies tends strongly to hold up prices
here, though foreign mill stocks are
now heavy.
All exports from New York in four
weeks have been 33.4 per cent, or over
S11 ZOO, 600 larger than last year, and
with the gain of SIS, 900, 900 in cotton
from other ports, the months aggre-
gate for merchandise should rise above
a hundred millions. Imports show a
small gain, but will hardly exceed
seventy millions.
Failures for the week have been POS
in the United States, against 15s last
year, and % in Can ada, against % last
