The Trade situation.

business during the past week has
continued generally active. There is
still lull in speculation, both In Sc
curities and staples. but in all the chan
nels of merchandise distribution there
is the same freedom of movement that
has been noted for many months past.
Production in many industries con-
tinues to fall short Of distributors re-
uuirements for immediate needs, and
there Is no sign of slackening activity
in any of the manufacturing lines

CLEAR THE ROAD

Then one by one we put away
The much-beloved sled,
And journeyed forth into the world,
Ambitions paths TO tread.
We bade goodbye 10 Martins Hill
And youthhood's sweet abode,
And shouted an an undertone
For men 20 "Clear the road"
We found along the paths of trade
Another Martins Hill;
With men at break-neck pace acoast,
With voices loud and shrill
Who never halted on their way
Where fortunes fancies glowed,
Who shouted loud from morn till night
That warning, Clear the road"
Joe Cone, in the New York Sun.

State OF the Wheat Market;

The interior movement of winter
wheat is very small, and that o. spring
wheat is moderate. There is a fair
demand from millers. and winter
wheat commands n premium oy ~ the
price of contract grades. Export husi-
ness in wheat has been comparatively
moderate. and there has been very at
tie activity in speculation.

In boyhood days we used TO go,
When winter winds blew chill,
With ruddy cheeks and nimble fees
To coast down Martins Hill.
And from each speeding single sled
Or doube-runner's load,
The frosty air was rent in twain.
With shouting Clear the road"
Like arrows from a bow of steel,
Teeth set and eyes aglow,
We sped the length OF Martins Hill
Across the glist ming snow.
There was no halting on the way
No one steered out or slowed
We sped like mad down Martins Hill,
And shouted "Clear the road"

LaHgGm-for such is the hamlet's Ifamc

sitions which in any other community,
whether civilized or not, are by estab-
lislcd precedent voted TO man.
Langum has 4 race apart from the
world in its laws in its exclusion of the
stranger and in its utter disregard Of
tie vast area Of world and things lying
beyond its borders. Its quiet life is
dominated by two all powerful factors
-womanliind and oysters. There arc
men in Lan;;um. but they exert little
or 70 influence upon the affairs Of the
quiet little Welsh village.
The Langum man neither is nor pre-
tends to be. lie recognizes the right Of
womankind to own and rule and is per-
fcctly satisfied to be described as An
ME Jones man or Mary Williams man.
He neither requires nor appreciates
compassion. Sitting OF an evening at
his cottage door. with his faithful
brood playing around him, his wife
and daughter busy within reckoning
the gains Of the days work, he is vcxed
by no mental anxieties or pcrplexities.
Divcsted Of all responsibilities Of life,
he is as pleased as the oyster forewhich
his native place is famed.-London An

The Short Sep Between.

81 was on an ocean liner when she
ran on the rocks off the English coast
some years ago" said Philadelphia
travelling GaaA. and in the panic that
ensucd there is one incident that stands
out in my memory, illustrating the
slender thread between the tragic and
the ridiculous. We had q fellow on
board who had managed to keep pretty
well loaded all the way across, and
when We struck the rocks he was in
his usual condition. When everybody
thought for sure We were going to the
bottom. he sat down at the piano in
the saloon, and what 60 you suppose he
began playing? Home, Sweet Home
Somebody went to him and begged him
to stop. Immediately he switched off
from the doleful strains Of the old song
to tic rollicking melody CT Down
Went McGinty.' The absurdity Of the
thing seemed to strike everybody at
once. and Il general laugh followed.
The tension was. relieved, and there
was good order after that."-Philadel-

An.iGysDeDSsa Diet.

"Dyspepsia would no longer be tie
national disease in America if the peo-
pie Of this country would adopt plain
diet similar to that OF Norway and
Sweden. Gout is unknown among
Swedes and Norwegians, and the rosy
cheeks and clear compilations Of the
young people OF those countries are
the result Of the simple food the chill
dren eat" the United States consul at
Bergen, Norway. says. Hot rolls and
white bread are rarely seen in Sweden.
Knackbrode or hard bread is the stand
ard article Of food. It is made of
ground oats and rye. There is no yeast
in the bread. and it is rolled into thin
waters, which are baked and hung up
where they will keep perfectly dry.
Swedes eat this bread and drink milk
for two meals day and have one meal
at which they cat meat and potatoes.
Sweets are almost unknown. Children
are allowed to eat candy only on state

not feel a sense Of inferiority in the
presence of q jay. He is such q
shrewd, independent and aggressive
creature that one is inevitably led to
the belief that he is more Of success
as bird than most men are IS men.
Conspicuous by voice and action dur
ing the fall and winter, when other
birds are Quietest, he becomes silent
when other birds are most vocal. If be
has q love song, it is reserved for the
ear Of his mate. At this season he
even controls his fondness for owl
batting and with it his vituperatiye
gifts. The robin, the catbird and the
thrasher seem eager to betray the loca-
ton Of their nests to every passcrby,
but the blucjay gives no evidence OF
the site of his habitation by being seen
in its vicinity.-Frank N. Chapman in

/aoI and knowledge.

Tie Outlook crowds an unusual
amount OF practical wisdom and good
sense into the following paragraph:
Zeal without knowledge, often con-
demned, is more valuable than Enowl-
edge without zeal, often commended,
for zeal without knowledge inspires
life, and life acquires knowledge; but
knowledge without zeal sits in its
study. plays with its books and does
nothing. All the greatest things in life
have been accomplished by enthusi-
asts whose zeal was greater than their
knowledge"
