Robin. play Mt Being Dead.

One morning well known naturalist
was greatly surprised to see a. robin
lying on his back evidently dead, being
rapidly pulled round and round by an
other bird of the same species.
The naturalist at once came to the
conclusion that he had come in time
to witness the end of a deadly en-
counter, and that the live robin was
indulging in the cruel triumph of drag
ging his victims lifeless body over the
stones.
But he was mistaken, for suddenly
the live bird went down upon his back,
his wings and legs were stiffened, and
he gave every appearance of being
dead, while the other robin who had
been shamming death hoped on his
legs and proceeded to serve his COM
panion in the same way as he had
done him. Finally the two birds flew
away together to neighboring tree.

STILL FAVORABLE.
to BE EncOuraGinE-Fine Out
look for Crops.

New York. May G.-Bradstreets says:
1.-THE general situation is still largely a IA
vorable one, the primary encouraging fea-
ture being the fine outlook for the coun-
try's crops. General distribution retarded
hitherto by the backward spring, has been
stimulated by warm, sunny weather. In
dustrial conditions head the list of disturb
ing features, but confidence in conserva-
tism and good counsel is widespread. and
the effect upon general business, exerted
by the largest number of men idle for sew
eraI years past, has been apparently mini
mized. Reports as to quiet trade in iron
and steel come from the east where de-
mand for pig iron is of a hand-to-mouth
character. No special activity is looked
for, however, in this branch, because large
consumers are well supplied. Such unanim-
ity as to good crop reports has rarely been
seen at this period of the year. Much was
made In speculative grain circles of dry
weather at the northwest, but recent rains
have placed that section in very favor
able condition as regards spring wheat.
From the winter wheat belt reports con-
tinue very optimistic especially favorable
advices being received from Kansas. which
promises a yield of 100000, 600 bushels, and
the only anxiety expressed is for a suffi-
eient supply of labor to harvest the enor-
nous CROP.
r. G. Dun & Co., In their Weekly Review
of Trade, say: The labor situation is the
cloud lowering over the business world, but
the difficulties are not sufficiently wide
spread at present to seriously interfere
with the progress of manufacture and dis
tribution. Some settlements of strikes
have been effected during the week and
others seem probable at an early date
Meanwhile, prices held firm, the capacity
of producing plants in the leading indus
tries is well employed and crop advices are
satisfactory
