THE MIDSUMMER TRADE.
Improvement OF Tone, Rather Than Of
Demand.

Demand.
Bradstreet's says: While trade is
still only Of midsummer volume, the
beginnings Of improvement in demands
are apparently becoming visible. The
improvement is still one OF tone, rather
than of demand, but with yield OF
$40, 600, 900 bushels Of wheat. a next
TO record breaking yield of corn, and a
very large proportion OF ats,lthe Vest
ern crop situation contains many en-
couraeing features. The Southern cot
ton crop has undoubtedly suffered, and
conditions are unprecedentedly low
for this season of the year, but the
acreage planted was large one, and
prices are so much higher that satis-
factory financial return is confidently
looked for.
The effort of the big iron and steel
concerns 10 control prices, if really
made, has proven aboftive, and another
wholesale slashing of quotations is to
be reported this week.
The industrial situation is rather bet
ter as a result OF agreements upon wages
by number OF iron and steel manu-
featuring concerns and their employees
Lower prices for lumber are appar-
emily inducing more activity in build
ing. though how much is due to this OF
how much to the settlement OF laboi
disturbances is hard to measure.
Wheat, including flour, shipments
for the week aggregate 2,S29,9l0 bush
els, against S,0l8,832 bushels las
week.
Business failures in the United States
number 22l as compared with l46 las
week.

Canada number 20 as compared will

or not. Even if true, there is plenty
Of precedent. The Japanese, the most
cleanly people in the world, rarely use
soap. The Russians use vapor baths for
cleanliness sake. Rough inside cloth
ing cleanses the skin. There are doc
tors who have cured skin diseases by
insisting upon their delicate patients
abandoning silk underwear and using
very coarse stuff instead.
Napoleon, whose hands were good to
model and beautifully white, used bran
and lemon juice, and no soap, unless to
shave. In England, on account of coal
smoke and smut, soap is more needed
than in countries with clear air. Many
fashionable ladies Of to-day, who
would be much offended if they were
called barbarous or uncivilized, never
use soap. They grease themselves with
vaseline and such stuff and carefully
rub it all off again.-San Francisco

Clergymen of the past often had
traits of individuality which are per-
haps not so common at the present day.
Archbishop Sumner was once holding
confirmation in an English parish
church, when he observed that mum.
Der Of peopls were standing In the
aisles, although several pews were
empty. He stopped the service, and
asked the reason.
'The pews are private property" an.
swered man, "and they're shut up."
"There can be no such thing" said
the bishop, authorltatively. "Let the
pews be opened"
I'VE can't open emp shouted some
one. "There're locked"

"Yes, my lord"
very well; let him remove the locks
A hymn shall be sung meanwhile"
So the locks were removed, the audi
ence seated itself, and the confirmation
went on.-Youth's companion.

Stole the Bridesroom.

A young man in a conyivial party at
a Broad street hotel told the following
story: Il had good time at a wedding
last week. 1t was the wedding of
friend of mine, and l and some of the
boys played a good joke on him, and
he didn't get mad either. The joke was
to steal him. Yes, right after the cere-
mony we grabbed him up, banged him
into cab, and then drove him out six
teen miles into the country, where we
locked him up in barn and kept him
there three days. The bride waited for
him in royal suite Of rooms in an AS
bury Park hotel. We had persuaded
her to travel down alone, promising her
the groom would arrive at any minute.
Every evening, after our days work
was done, we trotted out into the coun-
try to see the groom, with baskets Of
food and liquid. Pretty good-natured
about 1t the duffer was, too, l tell YOU
though, those three days were different
slightly from what he and the girl had
been counting Philadelphia Rec

that the iron deposits of Vancouver
island have attracted the attention of
these iron men and that raw iron will
be taken from Barclay sound, and else
where in the island, down to Port An
geles for working. 1t is known that
the McKeesport iron men have secured
options on three properties in the Bare
lay sound country, namely the Ander-
son Company, another owned by Will
son, Braden, Irving and Others, and a
third the property OF Thompson, Bra
den. Logan and Kains. An option has
been secured on these claims until the
end OF the year, and before the begin
ming of next month between 400 and
500 men will be taken up to Barclay
sound to exploit its mineral wealth.
II development proves that these
properties are at all equal their prom

island and for Victoria. The proper
ties in question run about " per cent

and one which envoked enthusiastic
expressions from the visiting magnates.
From these the raw material for the
Port Angeles foundries will be drawn.

Gold Mining In British Columbia.
The first authenticated discovery oi

DR.. G. M. Dawson, occurred at Mitch

OF Queen Charlotte island, in 1851, q
nugget weighing several ounces having
been accidentally picked up by al
Indian woman on the seaehore. This
nugget was brought to Fort Simpson,
and. coming into the possession OF the
officer in charge of the Hudson Bay
Company's post at that place, was for
'yarded by him to the company's head
quarters at Victoria. An expedition
was at once fitted out, and, proceeding
to the spot, succeeded in locating q
quartz vein seven inches wide, report.
