but it is hardly probable that anything

RUCKEYE CLUB IS
WELL ENTERTAINED

The Buckeye Club was entertained
last evening in its regular meeting in
the hospitabIe home of Mr.. and Mrs.
t9enry waterhouse. The drawing room,
reception hall and dining room were
brilliantly lighted and the guests given
a cordial welcome.
The feature of the evening was to
have been a stereopticon display by w.
II. Rice, who was, unfortunately, una
bile to be present. Mr.. w. L. Whitney
endeavored to present the pictures,
which were mostly colored slides CT
scenes in the Hawaiian Islands, inter-
spersed with pictures Of Pompeii, Her
culaneum and Vesuvius, with corl-
DIete presentation Of the Martinique
disaster. but unfortunately the electric
al apparatus proved too strong for the
chandelier fuses, and after several fu-
tile attempts this had to be abandoned.
The social side of the evening was
admirably sustained by Mrs Water
house, assisted by Mrs. Corbett, who
served a fruit drink toward the close
of the evening. Much pleasure was had
by the guests in viewing at close range
several of the objects of art which
were acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Water
house on their recent European tour

Professor Atkinson, stated after the

the greatest benefit to farmers. and
that of the nlnety-nine counties In the
state in only thirty-two institutes Were
not held. He said the state considered

New York, Dec. 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade today
says:
Business is decidedly better than "a
any recent date and the improvement
is not confined to activity in holiday
goods, a,tho the best reports concern
those lines. Continued lower tempera-
ture not only stimulates sales, but job
bers are receiving supplementary or
ders for seasonable goods, and collec-
tons are more prompt. Building per-
mits issued during November exceeded
the same month last year. railway ton
mage is heavy. and several nanufac-
turing branches are starting idle ma
,,hinery. On the other hand, there Is
no Improvement of the situation In the
cotton Industry and fuel producers are
restricting the output.
Confidence is increasing In the iron
and steel industry. 1t is encouraging
to find some Improvement in the de-
mand for pig iron, altho no extensive
tonnage is. expected to be taken until
1904. Structural materia! Is gradually
reyiying contracts FOR new bridges and
building coming forward, and it is
known that much construction work Is
scheduled for early in the spring.

METHODS OF JUDGING CATTLE.
The Touch. as Well as Eye, Is Essen
tal in Making Selections.

| An expert judge. says the Philadea-
| phia Record, should be able to select
an animal by the sense of feeling. and
| in judging cattle the touch. as well as
the eye Is brought into request, ac-
cording to an authority. Except In re-
gard to certain points of conformation
means sure that touch" Is not the
most important qualification. The skin
and the flesh can only be fully exam
ined by touch or handling in ascer-
tanning IL the bones are we'll covered
with flesh, and also If the latter is
soft to the touch and ample in quanti-
" on the examined points The
squeeze of the palm of the hand is not
so delicate as the touch of the tips OF
the fingers: the former ascertains the
quantity, the latter judges the quality.
The touch may be hard or mellow,
thin or harsh, good or bad, as II is
frequently termed. A SLOW feeder is
is marked by having thick-set, hard,
short hair. which constitutes a bad
touch: az thin, meager, papery skin,
covered with thin, silky hair. tho the
opposite of the one just mentioned,
does not constitute good torch,
hut is indicative of weakness of con-
s,itution. tho probably of good breed
ing qualities. A good touch VIII be
found In thick. loose skin, floating,
as 1t were, on layer of soft fat, yield
ing to the least pressure. springing
back toward the fingers like piece OF
soft, thick channels leather. and COW
cred with thick. soft, glossy hair.
which looks rich and beautiful and
seems warm and comfortable to the
animal. A curly pile of soft hair indi-
Gates a vigorous constitution, and also
propensity to fatten. Such a skin
is termed '.nlossy" from resembling a
bed of fine soft moss. The sensation
OF fine touch is very gratifying to the
handler; the animal Is liked and
more especially as i, is more accompa-
MED by symmetrical form.
Long practice Is required to appre-
ctate a fine touch. but when ii is ac-
CURED * Is alone sufficient to estimate
the feeding properties of an OK. In a
fat animal the position Of the flesh on
.he carcass Is a great consideration.
The finest meat lies on the lodns and
rump and on the fore and middle ribs
consequently that OK that carries the
largest quantity of beef on these parts
is the most valuable The other parts,
of various qualities. and used for soups
and sailing. do not fetch the high price
Of the parts described. The point on
top of the rump is the first part of
feeding OK that shows the fat. and the
parts that are last in being covered
with flesh are the top Of the shoulder
and the point of the shoulder joints.
When these points are felt to be well
covered then the other and better parts
NAV be considered to b. in perfection
and prime condition may be eS-
pected. But the general handling must
establish the. real condition. for there
is wide difference between the APP
parsnt and real fatness of an OK. The
flesh of an OK that appears very rat, TO
the eye may feel loose and hahby, but
a truly fattened animal always feels
"hand fat" Such handlers never de-
cefye the butchers, while loose fatten-
ings never kill WE'LL

Holiday and retail business generally

There are several continuously en-
couraging causes. The congestion of a

current excellent business offerings
with profitable results. Failures do not
display more than the normal tenden-
cy 10 increase in number and there is
evidently less tension than was sXhib-

The iron trade retains all the gooa

iron reported in preceding weeks, an l
makers of finished products. most no.
tably steel plates and structural forms,
