TRADE REPORT.

New York;. G. Dun & Co.'S week
ly review Of trade last week says:
Vigorous vitality is conspicuous in
trade and industry, despite the handi-
cap of overstrained and lamentably in
adequate facilities for transportation.
Transatlantic vessels failed to leave
on schedule time and many manufac-
turing plants are closed in part or
wholly. Labor disputes are more nu-
merous, although not prevalent to any
extent in the leading industries.
AS the season advances there is no.
ticeable activity in building trades,
with the customary acceleration of in.
quiry for materials. Retail dealings
in most staples are fully sustained, es-
pecially of seasonable wearing apparel,
but distribution at many points has
suffered through weather conditions.
Wholesale and jobbing trade is stead
lily improving, although deliveries can
not be guaranteed. Foreign commerce
is keeping pace with domestic trade.
Large consumption of raw material
by the mills holds wool steady at the
recent advance, despite a somewhat
weaker closing at the London auction
sales.
Failures in the United States were
269 this week.

San francisco EInnaed-

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-The city was
recently visited by a peculiar storm,
the like of which is not recalled by To-
cal residents. A high wind suddenly
sprang from the northwest, bringing
with 1t hailstorm and a deluge of
rain. For five minutes the rain fell
in perfect torrent, the streets being
quickly converted into rivers and the
crossings lakes foot deep, and the
sewers were suddenly checked. Flash
es of lightning and roaring of thunder
added to the severity of the storm. In
the business district cellars were food
ed, and in the suburbs street car traf-
fic was interrupted. At Ingleside the
large crowd had difficulty in getting
home owing to street car track trouble.

way home from China on sick leave
when death overlook him.
Admiral Wildes had charge of the
fleet in Manila and about the Philip

seemed to be too much for the officer.
Under the strain of the continued heat

lost strength until finally the naval

admiral was condemned as physically
unable to do his duty and was ordered
acme to recuperate.

e The Spring Skirt.

One feature of the spring skirt is
that it is short. In fact, the number
of short sensible skirts one sees now
adays would lead one to think that
the feminine apostles of Fashion had
defed her mandates. But not so, for
the smart skirt which clears the
ground has the stamp and approval
of the powers. The trailing skirt
is reserved for house wear, a neat
scheme which encourages every wo-
man to replace her walking skirt for
another one, thus scoring a point for
the street skirt which fulflls it's des-
tiny best when it is brushed and hung
away ready for the next time. The
slashed seams of skirts, and the re-
versed plaits back of the seam re-
leased to afford the requisite full
ness, are doubtless what has caused
primarily the vogue of the short
skirt, for it is most essential that the
line of the lower edge be perfect.
This style of skirt is an achievement
compared with the ordinary skirt.
1t speaks for the skill of the expert
tailor. Then, too, there is the stitch
ing and also the strapping. Surely
never were skirts so elaborate as
now. But the day of the full skirt
is at hand. Directly shirring about
the hips is tolerated, the reign of the
glove-ftting skirt is threatened. The
full skirt just naturally follows the
bouffant sleeve. Then, too, the sash

Home Sanitation.

One of the first things for us to
investigate in ordering our household
is the condition of the soil about the
place. If it is damp and sour, and
not fit for vegetation it may not be
fit in it's present condition for hui
man habitation. The living rooms
are just over it and perhaps n
sleeping room; if the furnace gets
it's cold air supply from out-of-doors,
it takes it from over the soil near the
house, warns it and sends to the
rooms to be inhaled, loaded with i'm
purities, if there be any. Some
times near the doorway there is a
place where dish and wash water
have been thrown for a long time.
Too often this is near the we'll and
the bacterial crop of the dish-pan,
wash-tub, and milk-can thrive in
this moist soil and perhaps find their
way to the well. Impurities may thus
be transmitted by the porosity of the
soil; organic matter may add it's i'm
purities. and ill-smelling gases be
formed which add to the general dis
order. The site should be drained
and the soil titled and sweetened be-
fore there can be conditions for
health in the home.
The cellar is often a cause of trou-
bic. In the springtime there is an
overflow of water in an undrained
cellar, and various articles stored
there are floating about promiscu-
ously. This gives rise when the in
undation ceases, and as warm wealth
er comes on, to disagreeable odors
which permeate the entire house. A
well-drained cellar, with plenty of
ventilation, is a safeguard against
disease. If it extends under the en-
tire house or a large portion of it,
there is better opportunity for ven
tilatiOn. Windows easily opened
should be placed opposite each 9TH
er. A cement floor is a valuable
addition, but if it cannot be had, the
cellar may be rendered quite dry by
draining by means of a trench on
two sides of the house, at a depth be-
low the level of the cellar bottom.
