COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says
TRADE at the East is more quiet owing
to the advancing season and the bad
effect of prolonged labor controversies
being felt in certain lines Reports from
the interior and the far West are more
encouraging, bountiful harvests being
expected, while the light stocks carried
over from the previous season assure
profitable prices.
"The best indication Of continued
prosperity is the fact that quotations 90
not recede, even in the lines where at
present there is only moderate degree
of activity.

to secure pig iron at reasonable prices

klADE LIVING BY CRACKING WHIPS
Curious Trade Discovered by the Police
of France.

Curious Trade Discovered by the Police
OF France.
The Paris police have recently been
informed by one af the fraternity OF
whip-crackers that such a calling ex-
lists and claims recognition as one Of
the professions" by the exercise CT
which men earn their livelihood in
France.
Whip-crackers, it appears, are men
who possess strong wrists and are
willing to crack whips all day long, II
required, on receipt Of suitable fee.
At the commencement Of the shooting
season, when the proprietors of neigh
boring demesnes are not good friends,
the one who bears ill-will to the other
engages a whip cracker, whose duty 1t
is to crack a whip so as to brighten
away all the birds at the approach or
the disliked sportsman and his friends.
The whipcrackers are also found
useful by farmers afflicted with dis
eased cattle which they cannot sell.
Having engaged whipcracker, they
turn out the sick beasts on the most
freQuented highway they can find. The
cracker follows with his whip, osten-
sibly to guide the cattle, really to
drive them under the wheels Of a car
riage, a motor car or tram. This he
does by cracking his whip at the
critical moment so as to brighten the
beasts and drive them to destruction.

Welsh Indians in America.

Though public attention has lately
been directed to Welsh settlers Ia
America, the question lacks the great
interest caused in the eighteenth CEN
tury by the statement that a tribe
of Welsh Indians had been discovered.
In the seventeenth century John Joss
Ign, in his Voyages to New England"
mentioned that the customs of the in
habitants resembled those Of ancient
Britons, and Sir Thomas Herbert, an
other traveller Of the same date, in his
"Travels" gave Welsh words in uso
among these Indians. A century later
reports from several traders and others
were received of an Indian tribe that
possessed manuscript, spoke Welsh and
retained ceremonies Of Christian wor
ship. Among other information then
published was the report OF Captain
Abraham Chaplain, of Kentucky, that
his garrison near the Missouri had
Deen visited by Indians who cOnversed
in Welsh with some Welshmen in his
company. Those Indians were thought
to be descendants of a colony said
to have been formed by Madoc, son Of
Owen Gwynedd, on his discovery Of
America in 1170.-LOndOn Chronicle.

EMBARRASSED THE CLERGYMAN
Minister'S Makeshift All Right Until
tho Maid Appeared.

A distinguished Episcopal clergy
man was once called on to officiate at
fashionable summer resort church,
and, finding only short surplice and
no cassock in the vestry, was very
much disturbed at the thought OF haV'
ing to appear in vesture that to the
frivolous would look like a white shirt
and trousers. But happy inspiration
came to him. Why not wear one OF
his wife's black petticoats? The por'
ton that would show below the sur
plice would look exactly like the regu'
lation cassock. and no one would ever
be the wiser So he hurriedly sent
one of the ushers with an explanatory
note to his wife in the hotel, and in
the nick of time the petticoat arrived.
The makeshift turned out to be per-
feet success, and no one at distance
could tell that he was not wearing
cassock. After the close OF the SER
vice he decided to 60 out to the body
of the church without taking OF his
robes, in order to greet some friends.
And he was soon the center OF
group Of fashionable women, when
green Irish maid from the hotel came
up, and in loud voice said to him:
Eyer Reverence, the missus STINT me
afther her petticoat that We do be
wearin, an | wuz to wait till We take

COrdite.

1t has been shown that the erosive
action of cordite was seriously affect
ing the value of this explosive, and
that the British admiralty appointed a
committee to make series of tests and
to report upon the subject, and to i'll
vestigate whether some other explosive
could not be substituted for military
and naval use. One Of the results
has been the adoption of new smoke.
less powder, to be known as "COrdite
NJ. D." The new explosive is said to
have nitro-cellulose as its base, and it
is believed to contain a certain per-
centage of nitro-gylcerine, but not SO
much as is used in cordite itself. 1t Is
claimed that it does not generate so
much heat as cordite, hence the longer
life to a gun.-NeW York Tribune.

THE SURVIVOR OF ST. PIERRE
Fiction Supplies Nothing So Remarkable
as His Experience.

as HIS Experience
| The sole survivor of the cataclysm at
st. Pierre was q british negro, felon.
Isolated in a cell beneath the sidewalk
which might fittingly be called dun
geon, for only refractory prisoners
| were confined there. RaOul Sartout
was the name Of this jailbird Fiction
supplies nothing so remarkable as his
! experiences. Thirty thousand people,
MANY living blameless lives with the
love of man and the fear OF God IN
their hearts, were reduced to calcined
corpses by one blast from the furnace
of Mont Pelee, and this dreg of hui
mainly, this sink Of depravity, this
utterly worthless outcast was per-
mitted to live. The best is often taken
and the worst left, but here was a
whole city full extinguished with NOR
tai terror in their eyes-a swift judg-
ment as of the destruction of the IN
iquitous-and the very refuse Of that
community left to enjoy the life or
his senses. Priest, philanthropist, Sis
ter of charity, mother and child. I'M
touched of evil stricken into hideous
shapes Of death, and a wretch whose
presence was a pollution is spared to
continue an ignoble existence!
Sartout could not have escaped II
he had been q well-behaved prisoner.
He was insubordinate and vicious; and
a short time before the eruption it had
become necessary to put him in the
dungeon under the street. We can
imagine that his food was thrown into
him as if he were an animal, with a
pious wish that he would beat his
brains out against the walls OF his
cell. He has told the story of that
terrible day in his rude patOis. Prob
ably it was drawn from him in broken
syllables while he stared vacantly at
his questioner. SartOut heard the
rumble of Pelee; the thick walls OF
his hole in the earth shook violently.
| and he felt the scorching breath of the
volcano invading his refuge. In the
awful silence that followed he knew
that death had come upon people III
st. Pierre, and like one forgotten he
beat upon the bars Of his cage. An
iron grating yielded to his blows and
he stumbled into a larger cell. Hot
cinders were sitting down from the
street. The heat was SO intense he
was glad to run back and cover III the
furthest corner of the cell he hao
left. and there ne remained stupihed
with fear. -Four days later the shrieKs
of the crazed negro were heard by q
rescue party from the French cruiser
Suchet, and, almost dead from hunger
thirst and burns, he was released. His
injuries are not mortal, and being
Young and robust, he will live many
years, no doubt, to tell the story OF
the ordeal he survived. A Voltalrt

Deaths by J.ightning'

From 1890 t. 1900 the United States
Weather Bureau printed statistics Of
losses Of life by lightning. The work is
now discontinued. During the year
1000 7I3 persons were killed by light
ming; OF this number POI persons
were killed in the open, 1s8 in
houses, 81 under trees and SO in
barns. The circumstances of Isl deaths
are not known. During the same year
973 persons were more or less injured
by lightning strokes. On the average
it is probable that from 700 to 300 lives
are annually lost through injuries from
lightning in the United States. The
greatest number of injuries occur in the
Middle Atlantic States, the fewest in
the Pacific States.

Roads Made of Gold

The people of the two counties
south of Lacrosse, Wis, especially
near Prairie du Chen, have been for
years using gold-bearing quartz for
road making and house building,
thinking it was common stone. The
finding of heavy, paying vein of gold
on a farm of Mrs. N. S. Dousman set
them right. BY following up the vein
1t was traced for many miles around,
touching, in some places, quarries
where rock has been taken for years.
Lightning striking in the same place
during successive storms led Mis-;
Violet Dousman to think that metal
in some form existed there. Her in
vestigations led to the discovery Of
the gold.
