Primitive Vehicles in Chils.

A recent report from, United. States Consul Mansfield at Valparaiso does not convey a favorable impression of the progress of mechanical science in Chilli. Most of the vehicles used in that country, he says, are primitive in design and crude in construction
 Clumsy two-wheeled carts, in most in stance9 without springs, are general ly used. In the country districts oxen draw the carts, the yokes by which the animals are attached resting on their heads just back of the horns, where they are fastened by strips of rawhide. As their heads are deprived of freedom of action the oxen some times suffer torture from the iarring of the heavy carts. Carts similar in design, but lighter, and furnished with shafts, are drawn by horses in the cities. In town and country alike, goods are commonly transported on the backs of horses and mules.- Youths Companion. .

TRADE CONDITIONS

Collections Prompt, Distribution of
 Merchandise Heavy, Supply Short.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 1o.-R. G. Dun 6 Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Collections are notably prompt at all leading centers, bearing testimony to the strong financial position of the na- tion's industries at the opening or the new year. Distribution of merchandise is heavy, and manufacturers are pressed for prompt delivery. Orders for spring goods come forward freely, and in many lines there is more than a sample business in fall weights. Tardy deliveries in the past lead purchasers to anticipate requirements more than heretofore, and orders are being placed far in advance of actual needs.
 The fuel situation is still the one seri- ously disturbing element, rendering ab- normally high the cost of manufactur- ing and restricting the purchasing pow CT of almost the entire population. For tunately this comes at time of excep- tional prosperity or there would be a general contraction of consumption in other lines.
 Weather and transportating condi- tions have initiated against free movement of grain, yet interior receipts of wheat for the week reached 4,624,- f726 bushels against 3,520,214 bushels last year, and corn was marketed to the extent of 4,514, 732 bushels com pared with 3,439, 113 bushels year ago. Under more favorable auspices these gains would have been much larger, as producers are anxious to sell larger.
 Failures for the week numbered 35C in the United States against 373 last year and 24 in Canada compared with 2T year ago.

ya1ue of the American Hen,

The growth of the poultry industry in this country is one of the wonders of the time. As a producer of wealth the American hen is marvel. To illus trate the increased earning powers of this industrious autocrat of the barn yard, it may be stated that in Missouri, during the last fiscal year, the, sum derived from the sale of poultry and eggs ran $17,0o0 ahead of all the other products of the state combined. The totals show that the old hen, neglect ed and left by the farmer to forage for herself while he devoted his atten- tion to the field crops, outstripped them all, including corn, wheat, oats, flax, timothy seed, clover seed, millet seed, cane seed, castor beans, cotton seed, tobacco, broom corn. hay and ,stra Leslie's Monthly,.

SHORT CALENDAR.
There Was a Warm Controversey Be
 tween Attorneys Cole and Thoms.


 tween Attorneys Cole and Thoms.
 The first short calendar of the year was held in the district court to-day. Judge Cowell presided. A warm con- troversey took place between Attor- ney Cole and Attorney Thoms over a demurrer in the tax suit of the city against Johanna Cahill. Attorney Cole is interested in the case and he buckled into the. system by which costs are piled high in such cases. He asked that an outside judge be called in to hear the case and he thought that the city court was the proper place to take all matters of this kind. There the costs would not be half as high as they are in the district court. He also thought that the mortgage should be notified, and MT Thoms said that he sent number of notices to Attorney Cole but no attention was paid to them. Attorney Cole said he did not receive them and then the old ground that was thrashed out some time ago in Attorney Wood s tax cases in the Town plot school dis trlct was gone over. He said that he always wondered what was the meaning of the three links on the front of the Odd Fellows building until the other day when he happened to see the tax collector issuing there from with three links in his coat lapel; soon after he saw judge come out and he also wore the three links and then came the officer, meaning the officer who served the papers in this case and he also wore the three links in his coat lapel. He thought this mat ter of taxing costs in. tax cases should be matter for legislation. .r
 Judge Cowell coincided with Attor- ney Cole. He thought the city court was the proper place for such cases. There were two judges either of them to be had at all times and more than that the court was not in session one quarter of the time that the district court is. He did not think it fair or just that costs of $20 or $30 should be l taxed up in cases where the amount of the tax due is only few dollars. Tn this case it is about $100. The prop erty involved is situated on Baldwin Hill. The matter was adjourned and l it was understood that the bill of costs will be greatly reduced.
 A bond of $50 was ordered in the 1 case of Kassimieres Balkawica versus | Gedimino association, and Judgment for foreclosure for $3,673 was given in the Domestic Pie Baking company and law day was set for the first Mon- I, day in February!
 A number of demurrers were argu- ed and decision reserved.

THAT POLITE CONDUCTOR.
Much So, the Passenger After wards Thought.

When it was all over the man in the light overcoat said he believed the conductor put the nickel there himself, just as trap, but of course he didn't. He merely happened to see it lying on the floor as he passed through the car, and he picked it up and asked the man in the light over- coat if it belonged to him, relates the New York Press.
 The man wasn't sure. Perhaps I did drop it when you gave me change" he said. Hold on min ute and I'll find out.'
 He clutched a strap with his left hand and dug his right hand down into his capacious overcoat pocket, whence he presently withdrew it bloated with small coin., The count ing of all the nickeIs and dimes thus fshed up was a bigger job than the man had expected, and before it was finished the car gave tremendous lurch forward, and the whole hand full of change was scattered into the laps of nearby passengers, from which halfway point it rolled on the AAOOA anu OAOSCCoCd bO llloC llSC1I 4lI inaccessible chinks and crannies.
 The conductor was very accommo- dating in the emergency. @ ...
 "We'l find it when we get to the ] barns if we have to take the whole floor up," he said. Just give me your name and address, please, and I'll send it to you; or, if you like, you may call for it at the office" But the man in the overcoat curtly deprecated this proposed excessive activity. "Oh, never mind," he snapped. "I guess I can stand the loss. Whatever money you find is | yours. I want to get out at the next corner"
 The conductor said sThank yo,l'' with extraordinary gentleness and rang the bell half a minute ahead of time. When the man reached the sidewalk he kicked the curb vicious, ly. ... -........
 "How much did you lose?" asked the woman who had been waiting foz the storm to break.
 About dollar, I guess" said the man. Gee, but that fellow made s good haul. I'll bet anything he put that nickel there on purpose to maka me spill all that change" .
 The. woman argued the point 'How could he?" she said. "How did he know you had pocketful of chicken feed?"
 'Humph!" said the man. "You're dead easy, you are, but he can't fool me. I'll bet five dollars he put it 1 there on purpose"
