Of Trade says:
Seasonable temperature and holiday
purchases stimulated trade, making re-
suits more satisfactory during the
improvement was most conspicuous in
heavy wearing apparel and kindred
lines that have remained dull because
Of the mild weather. Another encour-
aging feature was the resumption of
work at the New York mills, although
there is still much idle machinery, es-
pecially in the textile and iron indus
tries. In view of the numerous wage
reductions there Is noteworthy har-
mony between employees and workers,
indicating that the labor leaders ap-
preciate the necessity of sharing In the
readjustment.

the envied of many. HNow old, penni-
less, forgotten, bereft Of all her loved
ones, the inmate Of public aims
house. Into these brief facts are
crowded the pathetic life history of
Mrs. Catherine Muerling, now in the
Home for Dependent Adults on Black
wells Island, New York, and all
through no fault of her own. Was 1t
Fate that sent the tyrant Death into
the midst of happy home circle to
rudely seize 7-year-old Henry and
wrest him from the frantic mothers
arms? Was 1t Fate that few years
later struck down the one remaining
child the young man who was idolized
by both parents-sole inheritor Of the
dead Henry's wealth of love-their
greatest hope and Joy? Who shall
say? Dlshartened by the blow, the
father lost courage to wage the bat
tie, grew careless with his business,
and soon he, too, was taken. Then
came the crash of his carelessly-con-
Quoted business, and the heart-broken
widow was left nearly penniless.
Dazed by the blows which had In
turn bereft her of children, husband
and fortune, the grief-stricken woman
was forced to leave her once happy
home and seek means of support.
Her one accomplishment was that Of
miniature painting, and to perfect her.
self in this she went to Paris. It was
while studying there that she met
John Muerling, all officer Of the Swe-
dish army, and married him. For q
time life was once more sweetened
with Joy. They lived in Stockholm
and 1t was there that they entertained
King Oscar, of Sweden. Then Trouble,
gaunt and grim, once more logged the
footsteps of this most unfortunate wo-
man. Her husband died and, though
they had managed to keep up appear
ances on his slender pay as an army
officer, she was again left to battle for
Life alone and penniless.
At g. one has lost much of the vigor
and enthusiasm of youth, and Mrs.
Muerling could do little at best. Re
turning to America she found her
friends were all dead. For time she
managed to obtain living, mcager
and uncertain though 1t was. Then
followed days when food was un-
known, and at last, staggering from
weakness, her pitiable condition be-
came known to others and she was
provided for at the Home. So ends
the story of one poor unfortunate

FILIPINO BABIES WALKING.
How It 10 fought Then Earlier Tina,
Most babies Learn.

How II 10 fought Then Earlier Than
Most babies Learn.
Filipino mothers have little trouble
with their babies. They have a con-
trivance which relieves them Of most
of the bother Of this sort Every house
is equipped with piece Of mechan-
lsE to teach babies to walk. Infants
are nervous. Doctors say they cannot
remain quiet more than Eve seconds
when they are awake. Filipino babies
are fully as nervous as those of other
countries, but they don't have the op-
portunity Of expanding their energy an
noying their mothers.
In the swampy, reptile-infested por-
lions Of the islands the houses are set
up on bamboo poles. In the center Of
these houses, which usually consist of
only one room, one bamboo pole is al
lowed to extend about two feet above
the level Of the floor. In the hollow
Of this bamboo. which acts as a socket,
is placed a round piece Of wood about
two feet long. On this Is nailed or
fastened a crosspiece which projects
foot or two on each side.
When the infant reaches the age 10
get into mischief through desire to
exercise It's little legs, the mother ties
It TO one end Of this crosspiece. As
soon as the baby tries to lean on 1t the
device revolves In the bamboo socket.
The little one is apt to be frightened
and cry out, but the mother expects
this and refuses to interfere. Then
begins a treadmill stroll for the Fill
Pine baby. He has to follow the revo-
buttons of the walking machine or he
will fall. His little hands, which
clutch tightly just as those Of white
babies do, enable him to preserve his
equilibrium, and he keeps up his ex.
erclse until he is ready to go 10 sleep.
In this way Filipino babies are taught
to walk much earlier than those Of any
other country, and their mothers are
not forced to hire nurse girls or devote
their whole time to their Offspring

Dairymen with i've or six cows may

found that to silo corn field adds
about $40 per acre to its value, after
paying for the extra work, as com.
pared with dry curing. Hence anyone
who raises an acre or two for feeding
would have a silo, which will also
come handy to save a second crop Of

The carrier which conveys the ensil'
age to the silo Is a great consumer OF
power, and for very tall silo must
be driven faster than is good for the
running gear. For that reason and
also for convenience in feeding, 1t Is
better to have the top not more than
20 feet above the ground. For small
silos 4 feet below ground and 10 to 20
feet above is quite satisfactory and
