Airship Possibilities.

If this Frenchman's air-ship is per-
fected the fancy OF Mortimer Collins
may no longer be described as purely
whimsical. In Squire Slichester's
Whim," which was published in 1873,
Mr.. Achille Gilet steers his balloon
from Guernsey to the English coast
and descends on the Squire's estate.
Very impertinent," said the Squire.
"They are trespassing already. They
Ignore the important fact that the air
above my manor is as much mine as
the earth underneath"
"Ah. If balloons should become gen
eral," said Simonet, that considera-
ton would generate lawsuits. You
would have to fence your plot of air,
and set spring guns and man traps"

THE DRIFT OF TRADE.
encouraging Feature Of Business Sit.
uation - Normal Conditions
Are Now Restored.

X. @. Dun G Cos weekly review of
trade says: Normal conditions have
been fully restored in the distribu.
tion of merchandise, the placing of
delayed orders stimulating thefew lines
that appeared to halt. One of the
most gratifying features of the bust
ness situation is the pronounced pref
erence for the better grades of goods,
clearly indicating the improved finan.
cial condition of consumers. Resump-
tion OF work progressed rapidly in the
steel industry since the settlement of
the labor controversy, and there is lit
tie discord between employer and EN-.
ployed in other lines. Stability of
prices. without imitation, is the rule,
except where the unusual size of crops
introduces special factor.
Steel production is now progressing
at nearly the average rate. There are
interruptions and delays through in.
aDillty to secure special lines of ma.
terlal, and higher prices are quoted for
Doth steel and iron bars. steel billets
ana some other shapes. In pig iron
there was the greatest activity since
the strike began, most brands reaching
higher prices. Sales of 80, 900 tons
bessemer at valley furnaces were re-
ported, equal to SIG delivered at
Pittsburg.
Other large orders were under nego.
tiatlon, and producers look for rising
market. Higher prices for billets were
partially nominal, owing to the i'm.
possibility of securing deliveries. Al
record breaking output of steel rails
is practically assured for 1901, and the
new year will open with an unpar-
alleled volume of business on the
DOCKS. Plates and structural mater.
ial are very strong.
The market for footwear is still on
strong basis. Leather and hides still
reflect the heavy demand for finished
products, and exports are also a sus. ,
tanning feature. Textile lines were
well engaged as rule, much better |
news being received from cotton spin. !
ners at the north, and southern mills |
are busy. though there is less night |
work. Wool is quiet but firm.
Steadiness in quotations of corn at |
the present high level is all that pro.
ducers could desire. Making full al.
lowance for the smaller yield, and the
decrease In exports, which has thus far
been much greater proportionately,
there does not appear to be satisfac-
tory reason for the rise of Is cents
over last years figures and 25 cents
over the price at this date in 1899.
Shipments from the Atlantic coast for
the week were 72S,020 bushels, against
i.b60,olS bushels last year, and ASA.
AT bushels two years ago.

Something New in Mechanics.

Great is the humor of woman
when she doesn't mean it. Great Is
the nerve Of woman-when she doesn't
need it. And great are the nerves of
woman-when it so pleases her This
combination is blamable for the fol-
lowing: A very pretty girl sat in
Long Island railroad train en- route
for Manhattan Beach. Suddenly the
whistle blew. 1t Is perhaps not neces-
sary to say that Long Island rail
road whistle is more eflicacious than
otherwise. 1t is tuned to the key of
w and is operated with a great dapa-
son, giving out II different brand of
yelping shrek than anything known
to nature. To repeat, the whistle
whistled. "Oooow," cried the pretty
girl. isn't that awful? should
think the railroad company would
have these things oiled. 1t is an out
rage" Her companion had often heard
of wetting whistles, but never heard
before of oiiing them. Think 1t over.

Beans Two Ways.

Wash the beans in two water, then
soak before stringlng. Break them in
inch lengths and boil until tender in
well-salted water. Drain very dry,
then put them back In the stewpan
with light seasoning of red and black
pepper. and a tablespoonful of the
best salad oil to every quart of beans
uncooked. Set them over slow fire for
five minutes, stirring most of the time.
Turn out into n hot dish upon very
crisp toast, and serve with either quar-
tered lemon or pepper vinegar In
stead of the oil fat bacon may be used.
Fry half n dozen slices crisp without
burning them, then put the drained
beans in the bacon gravy, and stir well
over the fire until 1t is absorbed. Serve
on hot dish with the bacon laid on
top. along with hot cornbread and
sliced cucumbers in vinegar.
Second Way-Boil the beans after
stringing until tender. drain and put
in deep dish with alternate layers of
sliced onion and very thin bacon. Bake
until the onion is well done. Serve
hot with cornbread and strong pepper.
