DWARF FRUIT TREES POPULAR.
Great Numbers of Them Used This
Year for Holiday Decorations.

Great Numbers of Them Used This
Year for Holiday Decorations.
The production of diminutive fruit
trees from foot to foot and half
high and bearing oranges, lemons and
apricots barely the size of marble
has been greatly developed by the
florists within the last year or two.
There is scarcely house in the fash
ionable residence district without
some of these quantity dwarfed trees
in its holiday decoration, says the
New York Sun. w..
If the trees are sound and are kept
in an even temperature they will be
beautiful for month or six weeks.
Great numbers Of them were bestowed
as Christmas gifts. ... ...
In growing these trees the main
principle is to retard the flow of sap
in the young trees. Whenever a new
branch is in the act of formation its
growth is kept back in various ways.
The supply of water is the smallest
possible allowance they can subsist on.
And they are not permitted to enjoy
abundant nourishment.
The pioneers of the species were
imported years ago, but now they are
grown so commonly in American
greenhouses that numbers Of them can
be had at 81 and So. .. ...

OUTLOOK IS FOR
BRISK BUSINESS
indications Are That Spring
and Summer Trade viii
Be Lively
ACTIVITY AMONG THE MINERS
Collections and Sales Among Retailers
In the Anthracite Field are In Good
Shape, Despite the Small Stocks
Carried by the Dealers.

New York, March 16.--"Reports
from all sections Of the country prom.
ise brisk spring and summer trade.
Orders are coming forward on a large
scale. and frequent requests for prompt
shipment indicate that stocks are low
and requirements urgent. The state
ment has been made repeatedly Of late
that traffic blockades were ended, but
as a matter of fact, the relief was in
every case Of local nature. and al.
most Immediately followed by so much
new business that congestion returned.
At present the western shipments are
fairly prompt, but freight is not COM
ing East in satisfactory manner"
The foregoing Is from the weekly
trade review Of r. G. Dun & Co. 1t
continues:
Better Trade Among Mines.
Heavy distribution of wages makes
retail trade active and collections
prompt In the anthracite region. yet
dealers are carrying small stocks Of
merchandise as rule. Activity In
building lines is so great as to occa-
sion frequent comment. Bad weather
retarded retail business at some
points and floods added to the dis.
turbed condition of the cotton market.
Footwear and Leather.
Eastern producers of footwear re-
port new business In fall shoes quiet
as yet, but very heavy sample lots
have been sold, and the outlook Is sat
lsfactory. Buyers are still reluctant to
pay the small advance in quotations.
Leather Is more quiet. but stocks do
not accumulate, owing to old orders.
Chicago hides have again fallen an
average Of about quarter, although
calfskins are stronger and foreign dry
hides are scarce and Arm ut former
figures.
Raw Material IL Erratic.
IAN erratic market for the raw ma.
terial, together with unfavorable
weather. brings decrease In sales OF
cotton goods. Quotations are fally
maintained, nevertheless, especially
on forward deliveries. Only a fair
demand Is reported for mems wear
woolens and worsteds. and In some
instances sellers reported more cancel
lations than new business. Buyers
are extremely conservative, and fire.
quently substitute new lines that have
recently opened at slightly better
terms. Removal of the embargo In
Massachusetts, resulted In very heavy
shipments of wool, and prices are fair
ly steady.
Failures this week number 230 In
the United States, against 232 last
year, and % in Canada. against "a 9

GESTURES IN GENERAL USE.
Motions That Are Common to All Ma
tions Of the Earth.

s..
Certain gestures are absolutely
identified with certain feelings. To
shake ones fist Is to threaten; to
hold up ones finger Is to warn. TO IN
dictate thought we place the tips OF
the fingers on the forehead; to show
concentrated attention we apply the
whole hand. To rub the hands Is
everywhere a sign of joy, and to clap
them a sign of enthusiasm. 1t would
be easy to multiply examples. AT
firmation, negation, repulsion are all
indicated by motions that every one
understands.
1t is the same, in quite as great
degree, with nationalities, in spite OF
the original diversity of the races that
make them up. The mimetic cnar'
acter results at once from race, from
history and from climate.
The gesture Of the Englishman Is
fierce and harsh; he speaks briefly,
brusquely; he is cold, positive, force
full. His salutation is cold and accen-
tuated, but his handshake is loyal
The gesture Of Germany is heavy,
good humored and always ungraceful.
Many of the Slav people are unwilling
to look one in the face, and they have
false gesture.
The Spaniard and the Portuguese,
although dwelling in Southern land,
gesticulate little; their language is
rhythmic, slow, solemn; they are grave,
their salutation is little theatrical.
The Italian is lively, mobile, intel
ligent, gay; his language is harmo
NOUS, sonorous, warm and luminous,
like his country's sky. The salutation
of the Italian is quick and full of
feeling, his gestures colored and ex
aggerated

GOOD PROGRESS ON TREATIES.
Senate Fixes Date for Taking Vote on
the Panama Canal Measure.

tUC TdUdTUd SdUdt measure.
Washington, March 13.-There we're
important developments yesterday re-
garding the treaties pending in the
senate. 1t was decided to vote on the
Panama canal treaty on Tuesday next
and the Cuban reciprocity treaty was
reported to the senate by the commit.
tee on foreign relations. The end Of
the work for which the extra session
was called, therefore, is In sight. The
agreement to vote on the canal treaty
was arrived at soon after the senate
assembled at noon and without dis.
cussion Of moment. The terms had
been made satisfactory to Senator
Morgan before the request to fix day
for the vote, as was proffered by Sen.
ator Frye, SO the former made no OBJ.
lection.
The Cuban treaty with the various
amendments agreed on by the com.
mittee on foreign relations then was
reported by Mr.. Cullom, and at his re-
quest 1t was read for the information
of the senate. The reading was fol.
lowed by formal request by Mr.. Cul.
lom to take up the Cuban treaty for
discussion, but while this was denied,
still the greater part of the session
was devoted to 1t. The amendments
made include in addition to those Of
last session provision requiring the
approval of the house of representa-.
tives to make the treaty effective.
With the adoption of this amend.
ment the democrats as body probab-
ly will cease opposition to the Cuban
treaty, but some of them, the sugar
interests of whose states are affected
by the treaty. will continue to oppose
it. The republican side of the senate
will vote practically, II not absolutely
solidly, for the treaty. and 1t Is now
generally believed that 1t will be rati-
fed after action on the Panama
