A Canadian minister had just mar.

signed, and nothing remained but the
giving and taking of the fee. The
bridegroom, a strapping young fellow
asked:
How much is itT'
The parson glanced at the smiling
bride and slyly answered;
whatever you think it is worth"
Now, 1t should have been worth a
great deal. for the girl was young and
pretty.
II reckon it's worth about shil-
lngs," said the swain, holding out two
half crowns.
The clergyman looked blankly at the
coins, then turned to the fair one.
"Pll leave it to you, madam" he said.
"What do you think it's worth2'
What did this young and blushing
bride do? She reached out, took the
coins, handed one half crown to the
minister and put the other into her
pocket!
"a thrifty wife," said the minister,
with sigh, "is her husbands crown"
Perhaps he ought to have said half
crown.-LOndOn Tit-Bits.

Business Conditions.

K. g. Dunn q Co. ia threir weekly
review of trade say: Little change was
developed this week in the condition OF
general business. Ground recently gained
seemed to be held without difficulty,
with good distribution of merchandise
by i0bbers in most directions and with
entire absence of speculative activity.
There has been a further decline in cot
ton, which does not help the goods
market, still the most backward and
dis ppointing of all the great industries
but in mechanical lines the progress
being made Is noteworthy.
Building materials, including lumber,
are in especially urgent demand. la
this unlike most other lines OF business,
thu East leads the country.
Textile fabrics exhibit a little ANNA
ton, although the markets ale still far
from satisfactory position, Two large
failures in wool occurred abroad, and
three Vermont concerns were forced to
suspend.
Footwear Is steady at former prices.
Large contracts have been closed with
western manufacturers. The loss OF
100000 cases for the year thus far in
dicates the extent to which development
of this industry in the West and South
has reduced New England business.
Railroad earnings In February for all
lines that have reported show An excess
of 80 per cent over last year and are 36
per cent over those of the same period
of 1899.
Failures of the week were POS in the
