Bradstreets Review of rrade.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1l.-Bradstreet's
says: Trade conditions still exhibit
many of the Irregularities incident to
the transition period between midsum-
mer and early fall trade. Despite the
hot wave, with its effect on the grow
ing distributive demand and also be-
cause of the reports of damage to the
corn crop which it has melted, more
cheerful feeling is perceptible in general
trade and the booking of fall orders for
dry goods, clothing and hardware at
leading western centers and heavy Ell,
gagements in iron and steel products,
though at low prices. are of encourag-
ing proportions.

GooDLAND, Kan, Aug. 1.-THE two
men who held up Union Pacific train
last Sunday morning, were killed yester-
day by sheriff's posse at the Bartholo-
new ranch, three miles east of this
place. The robbers were located in the
house yesterday morning and the posse
lined up and cut off escape. After a
fusillade between the robbers and the
posse, in which j. B. Riggs and George
Cullins, deputies, were shot, one of the
robbers jumped from window and
sought to escape. but was shot to death.
The posse then lay siege to the house,
in which the remaining robber stood
guard with Winchester, and finally
succeeded in setting fire to the building,
which was destroyed with its occupant
The robbers have not been identified.

The robbers dropped off the train at
Hugo and escaped. Wednesday, it is
learned, they went to the ranch of D.

Have You a Temper 7

An exchange has lately published an
article on "The Girl With a Temper"
which contains some excellent advice
and will bear repetition.
"When a daughter not only begins
to show decided signs Of temper, but is
inclined to boast that I am not one Of
your namby-pamby girls, who can not
stand up for her rights, it is time to
convince her Of her folly, or she viii
reap lasting discomfort later.
"If the woman with an unrestrained
temper is young and beautiful, much
may be forgiven her. In her aimable
moments she is so charming that the
words uttered in her unreasonable an
ger are almost forgotten, and the
chances are that she will plunge some
man into lifelong misery, because the
habit of tempestuous fits, il not firmly
checked in time, will strengthen with
the years.
'If the woman with a temper be
plain in person, she viii render life
very dreadful for herself, out not neees-
sarily so for many other people. Her
relations and friends will learn in time
to shut her out from their intimate
councils-to form life for themselves,
towards whose outer circle she will
reeede by degrees, and in the end will
stand alone.
''The woman with a temper is sell
dom well educated. She has not the
concentration and calm of mind which
lead to the acquisition Of knowledge
She may possess a share Of accomplish
ments, may be little musical, LITTLE
artistic, may pass muster among the
| superficial, but the chances are agains
her possessing the restful knowledg'
that comes of thOrOughness.
"Then beware of the girl who boast
of her spirit if ycu would later avoi'
the companionship Of that very unde
sirabIe personsge-the woman with
| temper"

The Jisgsr in Uganda.

Several sepoys were suffering from
that African pest, the '.jigger," whose
scientific name Of Pulex penetrans de-
scribes him and his habits concisely
and well. He is an exact reproduction
in miniature of the common flea Pu-
lex irritans), but instead of inflicting
comparatively innoeuous bite, he bur
rows under the skin, close to the toe
nails for preference, and then proceeds
to propagate the species.
Unless he is very carefully removed,
the sores cause the most intense irrita-
ton and may lay man up completely.
The usual method of removing him is
to widen the hole in which he has en-
tered and then extract him, intact if
possible, with a needle, care being
taken that no eggs or young are left
behind. The place should then be
dressed to prevent fostering. 1t is not
advisable to march much after remOv-
ing jiggers, but unfortunately it is fre-
quently unavoidable.
may mention that Lieut.. Col. Me
Donald once told me that during his
first visit to Uganda some natives cap
tured leopard in one Of the banana
plantations whose feet were so thor
oughly diseased from jiggers that he
was quite unable to move or to defend
himself. -BlaekwOOd.

Laundry Hints.

Anexpert iSundress says that if sheets
szd tRblecloths are folded 50 that the
seiyage edges will pass through the
wriager first they will be smoother and
less likely to curl She also sounds
note OF caution against the habit Of
pouring boiling water on soiled clothes.
'sYoa kRoW," she says, ''if you submit
anything that is soft to the action OF
the heat Il will bake it hard. Pour
boiling water in the cake dish and it
will cook the dough in it. So if you
pour very bet water on the clothes 1t

little warmer than it comes from the

to soak-the clean and dirty together.
This should never be done. 1t does
not seem quite nice to put table linen
with soiled clothes from the bed OF
body, and, moreover, the dirt from the
soiIed clothes gets into the clean ones
aud makes them griaay."
