Davis has completely usurped or adopted the
Functions of the State Committee that little at

Curious as u may appear 10 many
people. u IL. 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 IL that the
military authorities have discovered
that the demand for really eligible
mules far exceeds the supply. and as Il
Is evident TO the public that the prices
paid for such animals arc remuacra-
tive. IL IA pretty certain that the les
son will receive the attention IL de-
serves. In this country the mule is
highly valued for heavy draught work.
when it ia also borne in mind that the
mule can exist well where a horse
would weli-niEh starve. that he ia the
most healthy OF animals and willing
worker. in spite OF all the jokes which
are made on the score of tho obstinacy
displayed by some mules. there can be
no Eainsaying the fact that he Is a

A recent commercial report shows
the intimate relation between weather
and business. The unusually mild TEN.
perature has had its effect in many
ways. The smaller sale OF shoes ia
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 overshoes. rubber
boots. and mackintoshes is much less
t.an ever before. The ice business Ia
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.
Drough, 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 to
shut down. This was followed by
floods that brought too high a level and
kept the mills still closed. Warm
weather being responsible for scarcity
of ice and lumber. one would think 4,
would result In decreased price OF
coal. but, strangely enough. this has
not followed.
