BY Aid Of the Co@laty Attorney,

In commenting upon the state
ments accredited to Capt. Fay and
". w. Hargraves in the Duluth
papers last week, the Virginian
says that Mayor Eaton J. was
"wrathy," and gives as one Of the
statements Of the honorable mayor
that "there is no gambling going
on to my knowledge and 1 am pos
tive that there is no machine
gambling in the city" Thanks to
the attention given Virginia by
County Attorney McClintock and
the purifying influence of the grand
jury, which body has caused the
of "A = number Z Of
Virginians for harboring gamblers
and running gambling devices in
their places of business within the
past year, there is not in the city to-
day, to our knowledge, any roulette
wheels or crap-ta bles in operation,
but the present degree of clean
illness in the city on the score Of
open gambling lis attributable to
the action Of the county authorities,

administration, a member Of the
city council being one who paid "a
fine only last week for permitting

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trad, Conditions.

r. c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review oi
trade says:
Heavy transactions in merchandise
are reported. but there is much com
plant regarding the slow movement OF
freight. The situation as to general
lines is aggravated by the precedence
given fuel over all other freight except
live stock and perishable goods. Not.
withstanding the extensive increase in
transporting facilities during the past
year, some roads have been compelled
to decline consignments and in many
cases where large number OF cars
we're desired only one was provided.
Earnings thus far available for January
surpass last years by 5 per cent. 1t
is conspicuous in practically every Sec
ton OF the country that despite high
prices buying is liberal and OF the better
qualities OF goods, while dealings as a
rule are on more OF cash basis. De-
mand for building materials is unusually
brisk Tor the season, and prices Of
lumber at the South have advanced
Although fortunate sections are re-
ceiying a better supply OF fuel, the sit
uation is still serious, and many pig
iron furnaces have been added to the
idle list
Trade in leather is better, domestic
shoe manufacturers operating on a
more liberal scale, while expert sales
OF sole are increasing.
AS to cotton goods, the situation
grows steadily stronger demands ior
immediate needs preventing aecumula.

ing number OF orders untitled. A few
open advances in quotations are record.
cd, while quiet curtailment OF dis
counts is reported in progress. Export
buying has practically ceased. With
the exception OF a few of the finest
grades wooden goods for the fall OF
1908 are now fully opened.
Firmncss has characterized the
course. OF the leading staples, an abun-
dant demand being in evidence, while
available supplies are restricted by trai-
fic conditions.

Advice to the Sleepless,

II you fear a sleepless night, undress
in the dark. Light stimulates and
arouses the activities. Darkness is sup.
posed to produce drowsiness. Put some
chopped ice in rubber bag, and place
it at the lower extremity of the spine.
This is particularly quieting to the
nerves. Do not use anything but rub
Der bag, or you will merely have a
damp cloth and rheumatism by morn
ing. Do not use pillow. Relax every
muscle so far as it is possible Sprawl
over the bed with arms and legs
stretched out. Take a sponge bath with
tepid water just before going to bed
Lie on your face instead OF on your
back. That is the way babies sleep
and their methods are scarcely to be
improved upon in this particular. All
pressure is removed from the spine by
this means, and delicious feeling o!
restfulness ensues. Make up your mind
that you won't keep awake long
enough to hear some one come in to
outline the next days work. You will
drop asleep Immediately.

Keep the Mind Open.

Auguste Comte once suggested the
desirabilty OF class OF men whose
work it should be to acquire a knowl.
edge OF the general results attained by
specialists in all branches OF science
and by combining and comparing them
to acquire a more correct mode OF
thought about things in general than
is apt to be acquired by man whose
thoughts work always in the same
channel
Some men OF genius without enroll
ing themselves in any class fulfil, in a
measure, their requirements. One Of
Goethe's most marked characteristics
was his cagerness to avail himself oi
the knowledge OF any and every one
who made special study OF some par
ticular branch OF learning. 1t was not
in the least necessary that his inform
ant should be well known or famous,
Original talent-that is water to my
mill, said he
A young musician who visited him
remarked
"Zelter's music is old-iashioned."
How old-iashioned? Explain your.
self and be precise. Good! There is
the piano. What you have stated must
stand the test OF an experiment.
In openness OF mind and cagerncss
for knowledge at least we may initiate
man OF genius.

A Butcher OF Taste.

There is a butcher in one OF the New
Orleans markets who has built I'D an
immense family trade entirely by rca-
son OF his taste in doing up parcels OF
meat. His modus operandi is very in
genius. If he is handling a porter
house he places it between two squares
OF pasteboard, uses a sheet .of pearl
gray manila paper as wrapper and
ties it up with baby blue string The
result is neat rectangle which has
every appearance OF having come from
some fashionable drug store or con-
iectioner's. Chops and such like he
slows away in neat little cardboard
tubes. and he keeps supply OF one
pound candy boxes especially for chick
en- livers and chopped sausage. The
system is very effective.

Juvenile 0aIlartrY.

He was tiny little fellow, surely not
more than FIVE years old. and as he call
ed for his afternoon papers at the cor
ner OF Twelfth and Market streets NAM
people gazed at him with mlngle
amusement and pity. He had long
brown curls. wet with the drcnching
rain, and his shrill little voice had a
baby lisp. A very stout, elderly wo-
man. apparently weighing close to two
h"ndred pounds. paused at the south
side OF Market street and looked as
kance at the miniature river OF slush
and water and at the passing procession
OF wagons and trolley cars. The little
newsboy was quick to size Zip the sit
uation. Running up to her he eXclaim-
Cd
Don't be afraid, lady. I'll help you
across Reaching TIP his tiny little
hand lie clutched her by the arm. and
together the ridiculous pair threaded
their way to the opposite curb. Then
the stNt woman opened her purse,
gravcly handed the little fellow a coin
and disappeared in the Reading Ter
minal.
