COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S "Weekly keVie"
OF Trade" says:
Business is we'll maintained aSiu'
from the quoting influence OF the vac"
ton season, which somewhat RESTRICTS
trade and retards collections. Making
due allowance for the period, there Is
no cause for complaint. The adverse
factors that have been operating
against prosperity in recent preceding
weeks are no longer as potent, normal
influences gradually prevailing. LABOR
controversies still exist, curtailing tne
output of few products and the con-
sumption OF all the necessaries OF lie.
Crops are not going to market as
freely as usual, although the agrlcuI-
tural outlook is distinctly favorable.
Somewhat easier prices for the great
food staples testify to brighter crop
prospects.
Failures during this week numbered
238 in the United States against 90,
last year and in Canada, compared
with 80 a year ago.

An Ob1iging Sheriff.

'I have been spending part OF the
summer on the Island Of Nantucket,
said the summer girl, "and among
other interesting relics Of early New
England life I saw the old massive
wooden jail, which has SO far departed
from the use for which It was built
as to become one Of the sights.
"There are many interesting stories
connected with the old prison, and the
most modern Is the funniest Of oil.
1t sounds improbable, but / was as
sured by several persons whose word
I could not doubt, that 1t was quite
true.
at happened some years ago that
an islander was convicted Of some
offense. and the Judge who came to
the island from the mainland for the
trial decided to make nm example OF
him. and sentenced him to jail for
three months.
"a couple OF mornings later, when
the Judge was walking to the pier
to take the boat to return, accom-
panied by the Sheriff, who was q
Nantucketer, they passed a man saw
ing wood by the roadside, who touched
his hat politely and said, Good morn
ing, Judge
"The Judge stared at him in surprise
and said to the Sheriff: Isn't that the
man sent to Jail for three mOnths:'
"'Well, yes, it is said the Sheriff
hesltatingly, but, you see-its tbs
way, Judge. We don't happen to have
anybody else in Jail, haven't had for
years. and we thought 1t would be
sorter expensive to hire man to keep
Jail for this fellow, so ] gave him the
key and told him II he would steep
there nights I guessed 1t would ba all
rIght."~Nsw YORK Times, ~ ,-....'-- - -

WHY Mary Did Not Sing.

An able, but easily embarrassed and
somewhat absent-minded young teach
or was about to begin singing lesson
day when a knock at the schoolroom
door interrupted proceedings. The
teacher went to the door and ushered
in delegation from a prominent local
woman's club. When the ladies were
comfortably seated and each mad as
sumed critical, listening attitude the
teacher resumed the singing lesson. 1t
was one of her most stringent rules
of action that when company was
present everything should go Oh OK
actly as usual.
One Of her pupils, Mary Holmes,
somewhat shy girl, had a good alto
voice, and the teacher was anxious
that she should display it to advan'
tage.

lished on authority beyond dispute
A rat has been seen, for example, to
mount a table and upset a box OF figs
on to the floor FOR the benefit OF TWEEN
ty waiting rats; and the stopper In .
flask Of oil has been removed by rats
which then dipped their long tails
into tho bottle until 1t was dry. Sugar
has been found in deep drawers thir
ty feet from the place where the rats
had found it, and they have been
known to carry eggs from the bottom
of a house to the top without break
ing them, the egg resting upon the
hind legs of one rat and the forelegs
of another as they climber the stairs
A man-of-war was once go overrup
with rats that they destroyed a hun

it was necessary at last to smoke the

tbs HEN REARED KITTENS.
II Latter In Turn Adopted Traits OF the
Huh.

Huh.
Some years ago my attention was
called to a hen that had adopted litter
of kittens. When I first saw them
they had got their eyes open. EVERY
day spent an hour or more Watcnins
the old hen and her strange 1alhi9'
The hen would let the cat suckle the
kittens. but when they were through
she would drive the cat away anu
hover over the family. The cat was
tramp that fed with several others
ON swill brought from the city for hens
and hogs. AS far as l could see, the
cat was willing to let the hen rear
her kittens. The whole affair seemed
natural and was as intelligently ar
ranged as if it had happened to human
beings. l carefully noted the actions
Of the old hen and kittens. The kittens
soon learned the calls Of the hen, ana
the hen certainly understood the calls
of the kittens. The hen would wander
into the bushes, scratching for insects,
which she ate without offering them
to her adopted family. When the
kittens wanted rest and sleep they
made thin cry, and the hen would
Immediately hover them. If they
wanted food their cries sounded to me
like the call to hover, but the hen
understood and she led them to the
milk dish. If the dish was empty, she
led them to. the hen yard and looked
for bits of meat or bread. If she failed
to find food, she went to the house
door and called until some one OF the
family brought out milk. Before the
cat deserted her family, the hen would
lead the kittens to a fiat ledge, where
the cats summed themselves. The cat
usually hunted up the hen in the early
DAYS for 4 relief from an overflow OF
milk. Several times / saw the hen
hunt for the cat when the kittens were
hungry. When the cat weaned the kit.
tens, the hen seemed to understand
that she must look to the family for
food.
noticed that the kittens as they be-
came older failed to play like kittens
taught by a mother cat, and their
voices remained weak and thin. In
many ways they showed a lack Il
cat teaching. On the other hand, th%
adopted some of the ways Of the hen.
They would scatter like chickens, and
would scratch in imitation of the hen.
I did not see them eat the insects
which they found, excepting grass
hOppers. Mr.. Parsons was practical
man and wanted eggs, so he killed the
kittens. If had known what he intend
ed to do I should have offered to buy
| the lot for further study. I remember
| that I sent Forest and Stream an ac'
count of this easel think q clipping
from a local paper. The intelligence
of the cat, hen and kittens, under
| strange conditions, was so evident that
a dull observer could not make mis-
take. The cat reasoned that the hen
would take good care Of her family
and she was contented, like some
human mothers that give their babies
away. The hen understood fully that
the kittens would not eat the insects
which she found and reasoned that she

The idea that any one should be pun
