Curiou. Time Recorder.

A naturalist while visiting Great
Sangir, one Of those islands of the In
dian ocean known as the Celebes, or
Spice islands, found curious time re-
corder lodged at the house Of a rajah.
Two bottles were firmly laslfed togeth-
er and fixed in wooden frame. A
quantity Of black sand ran from one
bottle into the other III just half an
hour, and when the upper bottle was
empty the frame was reversed. Twelve
short sticks marked with notches from
l to IL were hung upon a string. a
hook was placed between the stick
bearing the number of notches CORE
spending to the hour last struck and
the one to ,oe struck next The sentry
announced the time by striking the
hours on large gong.

Dun & Co.'s Review.

| New York, Aug. 15.#-R. G. Dun &
ICo.'s Weekly Review OF Trade today
says:
/. Earnings of railroads for August thus
far show an average gain of ~ per
| cent over last years figures and 1853
per cent compared with 1901. Distribu-
ton of merchandise Is very heavy, more
| option to traffic being recorded, and in
staple lines prices are steady. Prepare
| tons for fall trade are vigorous, many
manufacturers working overtime to fill
important orders. Collections are fully
as prompt as usual for the season, althO
in some lines there is less inclination
to discount bills. Crop news is reassur-
ing.
Hesitation in certain branches of the
iron and steel industry, incidental to
the season and aggravated by labor
controversies, is indicated with some
degree of definiteness by the monthly
statistics just published by the Iron
Age. A vast amount OF business is be-
ing done. but there is no indication to
anticipate requirements of the future
beyond contracts already placed.
A slight increase in the volume of
business in cotton goods is confined to
SfQall OTueTS QeHNGIy. ~ SOuu
demand for mems wear woolens sus
tains prices and business in dress goods
lis improving. Dry goods jobbers report
fairly good buying, the feature Of the
week being some special lots in dress
fabrics.
Another feature this week has been
the liberal purchasing OF heavy shoes
for next spring by local jobbers. Leath-
err has at last shown the increase in ac-
tlvity promised by the vigorous opera
ton of factories and both sole and up
per leather finds better market altho
no large contracts have yet been placed.
Hides continue weak. hut the average
does not exhibit the fall that has been
the rule in recent preceding weeks,
some lines slightly recovering.
Failures this week numbered ia in
the United States. against 1876 last year.
and in Canada twenty-five, compared
with twenty-one a year ago.

Developments During Past
Week Largely Favorable
Expansion of Fall Trade
ACTIVITY IN SHOE BUSINESS
Price of Leather Remains Steady
Lessenns of Pressure at the coun-
try's Financial centers-statistics Of
Wheat and Corn Exports for Week,
Also, of Business Failures.

New York, Aug. 15.-Bradstreets to-
day says:
Developments this week have been
largely favorable. Prominent among
these Is the lessening of pressure at
the country's financial centers, which
has led to a more optimistic feeling in
! the country at large. Beyond and apart
/ from this however, though no doubt
/ affected thereby, it is to be noted that
! fall trade in dry goods, clothing, hats
shoes and millinery. has expanded at
leading western, southern and eastern
markets. Pig iron has sold freely, with
| more firmness as to prices. Exports
demand for wheat and flour shipments
thereof have enlarged. Traffic re-
turns, while pointing to a comparative
| ~ slow eastward movement, of grain,
show heavier movement of live ami
mails. and a marked increase in the
westbound shipments Of freight
The demand for mems wear woolens,
ETC., for spring account has been smal,.
Dealers are buying only to cover re-
Quirements. No Improvements noted
in the cotton mill situation. The high
price of cotton has resulted in a prac-
teal cutting down Of production.
Notable activity in the shoe business
is reported at the east; sides are easier
and demands for leather is merely to
meet requirements, but prices Of the
latter are steady.
Wheat, including flour exports, for
the week aggregate 3,419,19l bushels,
against 3,040.629 last week. 4.591.S05

1901, and 1884 in 1900. Corn ex-
ports for the week aggregate 707,3S7
bushels against SS4.427 last week; 3d.
423 a year ago, 50S.S07 in 1901. and g.,

present cereal year they aggregate g.
$3.50 bushels against $3.50 in 1902,

The Shepherd and Hi. Flock.


"A certain good bishop was in Italy
for his health. and while walking in
the country one day he met small
girl who was tending some pigs. The
animals were giving her great deal
Of trouble, and the good bishop offered
to stay and watch the ones that were
grunting and roofing in ditch while
the little shepherdess went to catch
two runaways that had strayed from
the fold. When she came back, the
reverend gentleman stroked the un.
kempt curly head Of the child and ask.
ed her how much she earned by her
hard work and was told that she re-
ceived soldi day.
do you know" said he. that l, too,
am q shepherd? But earn much more
than you"
"Ah, yes answered the little peas
ant, but, no doubt, you tend many
more pigs than l do"
