provised in one of the rooms of her home and with a knife in her hand was about to sacrifice the eldest, boy bare ly seven years old, when relatives rushed in and interposed.
 The boy said his mother had prayed and sung all night and ranged them on the east side of the house to greet the rising sun It was her intention to sacrifice the children just as the sun rose.
 Mrs. Lot has been an enthusiastic member of one of the local churches and has often indulged in extreme dem onstations during revivals and visits of travelling evangelists, but no suspi- cion as to her sanity was entertained until week ago, when on account of her strange actions she was taken to the country by relatives. It was thought she had entirely recovered and she was allowed to return to,her home. A charge of lunacy was entered against Mrs. Lott and she will be taken to the state asylum at MflledgeviI1e.

NeIwOn's Hf1H.

About a mile and half to the southeast of the town of Monmouth stands Kymin Hill, some TOO feet high. On the top there was built a naval temple to the honor of the British navy and the victories it had won during the eighteenth century, the names of which were inscribed on tablets in the pavilion forming the structure. From the windows magnificent view is to be had on every side, no fewer than nine coun- ties-Monmo outh, Somerset, Glouces- ter, Worcester, Shropshire, Hereford, Radnor, Brecknock, Glamorgan-be- ing visible. The beautiful valley of the Wye is perhaps the gem of the scenery. On the 18th of August, 1902, Nelson climbed the hill to open the temple It was, he said, of special in- terest to him as being the only mon- ument throughout the whole of the United Kingdom that had been erect cd to the navy After this visit the hill became known as Nelson's hill.-- Little Folks.

 NEW YORK, July 1L-sir Thomas Lipton and 600 members of the Allan tic Yacht club, whose guest he was, at tended the performance of '"rhe Sultan of Sulu'' at Manhattan Beach last night
 After the performance Sir Thomas asked to be taken behind the scenes, and the company welcomed him joy fully.
 He said that it was the first time he had ever had the privilege of going be hind the scenes on an American stage and that he was enjoying the expert ence immensely. His praise of the con- pany's abilities was received with loud cheering, and then Miss Gertrude Quin- Ian stepped forward.
 Tn responding to the baronet's com plimeuts she thanked him in behalf of her company and then said she would like to pin a shamrock in the lapel of his coat. Sir Thomas is taIl Miss Quin- Ian is not exactly short, but still she couldn't seem to reach the lapel easily, so the baronet politely pended toward her.
 She kissed him first on one cheek and then on the other and again squarely on the mouth. He fled, but recovered his mental equilibrium in time to send a request that he be allowed the pleas ure of entertaining the company on his yacht the Erin.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
G. Dun tG Co., Report a General Ym-
 pROvement In All Lanes.

q. Dun & Co., Report a General rm-
 pFOvement In All Ldnes.
 NEW YORK, July 11-R. G, Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Business again responds to improved conditions. Retail distribution of mer- chandise is accelerated by more sea- sonable weather and fewer labor con- troversies, while wholesale and job ping trade, especially at the interior, shows the encouraging effect of bright CT agricultural prospects. There is the customary excessive demand for farm hands. In one extreme case labor sold at auction for $6 day, while train loads of men have been seized before reaching their original destina- tion. Reports of holiday traffic and trade in holiday goods indicate no diminutton in purchasing power, and semiannual inventories show more gratifying situation than expected.
 There is less than the usual n1idsum- mer idleness in manufacturing, except in the cotton industry. Opening of fall lines at Baltimore meet with good returns, there is seasonable activity in dry goods at Boston, reports from Phil adelphia indicate that lumber and building materials are in brisk demand, while railway traffic and industrial ac-' ttvity are most satisfactory at Chicago.
 Liabilities of commercial failures for the first week of July amounted to $2- S29,3O3, of which $1, ,5Ss,599 were in manufacturing, $1,012,254 in trading and $228,A50 in other commercial lines. Failures this week numbered to4 in the United States against 193 last year and 24 in Canada compared with 19 8 year ago.

Hand person two objects which are
OF exactly the same weight, but OF diff
ferent dimensions, and the chances are
ninety to one that lie will pronounce
the smaller TO be the heavier of the
two. The reason evidently Is because
IL is natural. though erroneous, to sup
pose that the more compact a body Is
the heavier Ii Is bound to be.
Or. Demoor. well known Belgian
physician, recently tested several chill
drcn on this point. He gave them two
black bottles, each containing a SIM
liar quantity OF heavy powder and one
OF which was much larger than the
other, and OF the $50 children whom
he examined $40 snid promptly that
the smaller bottle was the heavier.
Only ten answered correctly. and DR..
Demoor soon found out that they were
idiots.
Professor z. Maparcde applied the
same test to class OF backward chill
dren In Geneva and discovered that IL
was an admirable method for discov-
ering the exact amount OF intelligence
possessed by each child. Four Of his
pupils invariably picked out the bottle
which was really the heavier, and
these four were the dulicst and In all
other respects the most unpromising
In his entire class.

Incineration as substitute for burial
Ia opposed on sentimental grounds, and
these are harder to overcome than any
other. When the question of burning
the bodies Of the dead was raised a
quarter of century ago for the pur-
pose Of uniting its advocates In a cam
paign of education, the opposition was
positive and unreasoning. Many per-
sons admitted that they were influence
ed more by custom than by reason In
adhering to burial. but they maintained
that because they were repealed by the
suggestion OF incineratIon there must
be something more kindly I'm burial
than In burning. There is no doubt
about the great number and influence
OF those who oppose the proposed
change. but the sanitary reform is
making Its way slowly. Perhaps the
erematories which were erected In yari-
Gus parts OF the country have not paid

cremations has steadily grown In all
