St. Louis clothing men report business equal to year ago. tanners have all the business they can handle and cheap furniture is very active.
 Southern preparations for large crops of cotton. corn and rice, help trade in fertilizers. farm implements and suppls and kindred lines Groceries and provis- ions are also attractive with jobbers. Business is generally better than a year ago in the south as whole. At the east the shoe trade seems rather quiet.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
BAD WEATHER PREVENTS RE
 WAL OF BUSINESS.
Thousands of Interior Buyers Are Placing Liberal Orders at Prin- cipal Cities and Manufac-

New York. Feb. 19.-R. G. Dun & Go. E weekly review of trade this week will say:
 Indictment welther alone prevents defi- nite revival of business. Outdoor work k retarded and traffic impedcd to an extent that cannot be accurate measured, bat is obviously sufficient to neutralize the fa- vorable effect of many encouraging fac tors while winter wheat is threatened, although not yet definitely injured.
 Several leading branches of manufar- ture are increasing active capacity and thousa nds of interior buyers are placing liberal orders at the principal cities. The usual temporary advantages of war arc felt in the markets for staple commodi- ties, notably foodstuffs. but while th!a helps the domestic producer, 1t harms much larger number by enhancing prices to home consumers. There is little fri, tion between employers and wage cara CTS. except regarding the bituminous scale, but the cause of industrial peace has lost it's foremost champion. Despite interruption by storms. railway earnings thus far reported for February were only 40 per cent smaller than a year ago,

 While 1t appears that the output of pig iron has increased more rapidly than the demand. assuring some accumulation of stocks for the month, yet the mere fact that the leading interest has now about so per cent of it's blast furnaces in opera tion indicates confidence in the future.
 When spring building operations begin a large demand for irol and steel IS ex pected and contracts are soon to be placed fer Baltimore work. A large tOn- naSe of rails Is announced. ard bids are under consideration for terminal improve ments and rolling stock. There is still uncertainty regarding the ore situation. producers failing to agree.
 Cotton and coffee los: more of the re- gently inflated quotations and speculative activity fell to normal condition.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it i9
 in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature, but few real- iEe It's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stom- ach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other ororouS vegetables. Charcoal effectually cleans and tnn- proves the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which co.'s Iect in the stomach and bowels; 1t disin- fleets the mouth and throat from the poi- son of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another but probabl ythe best char coal and the most for the money is in stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics Tn tablet form or rather in the form of large. pleasant-tasting lozenges. the char. coal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of 1t is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the con trary. great benefit.
 Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: T advise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa- tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels. and to clear the complexion and purify the breath. mouth and throat: also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them. they eost hft twenty-five cents a box at drug stores. and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet believe get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets" eowk-t6

 Bullish sentiment was predominant, and bulls controlled the market throughout the day. At the opening. selling orders were heavy, evidently coming from shorts, but their offerings were readily absorbed.
 The bull leaders took on immense loads and continually reached out for more, Their buying. however, was not asgres- sive Outsiders were evidently influence1 by the rumors that the bull clique had been reorganized and was commencing an aggressive campaign for higher priceS and they furnished a respectable amount of buying orders.
 At the opening the Liverpool market was considered disappointing, and this en- couraged bears to hammer. They sent prices down about 20 points, but the buy ing of the bull leaders from the bottom levels was sufficient to allow them to keep the situation well in hand, and they forced prices gradually up, until they were about sixty points higher than the

Tame Humming Birds.

From Country Life in America.
OF all the birds the humming birds, espe-
eially when young. seem to display the least
fear 1t is difficult matter to train
young canary bird to follow one about the
house or to come when called. yet we have
had several humming birds which were per-
fectly domesticated and more thoroughly
tame than any bird have ever SEEN Two
humming birds that grew up with us were
given a small place in closet in our sleep
ing apartment. At the first approach of day
light they would fly out into the room. the
door being ajar, and directly to the bed
lowering over my face. their loud humming
noise awakening me at once. There was
no installing that the birds wished their
breakfast and they could not be driven
away. At times L would pretend not to
see them. and they would finally alight on
the bed uttering the quaint little sound,
perhaps a protest. then would hover
over my eyes. SO near that the wind from
the rapidly moving wings was quite suffi-
cient to arouse me. When l held out my
finger one or both would alight upon 1t and
gaze at me in manner which spoke vol
umes to any one imaginative enough to
think they understood the language of birds
when they are hungry
The food consisted OF sugar and water,
which was fed to them with chopstick-
like straw. Immediately upon seeing 1t
they would poise in the air and lick the
drop on the tip until they were satisfied
Occasionally they would poise before the
big red flowers printed on the curtains.
They recognized the pictures of flowers on
sight and endeayored to press their bills
into them. Artificial flowers were ap
preached in the same way In a word
these most helpless. the smallest of all
birds. required no education. no training
from parents; 1t was all instructive.

New Process in Lung Surgery.

from the New YORK Herald
The latest novelty In surgical venture
comes from Breslau. in the shape of an
alleged improvement In operations On the
lungs. 1t consists in placing all but the
head Of the patient in cabinet of rarefied
air, thus preventing the collapse OF ex-
posed lung, such as happens under ordinary
atmospheric pressure. Tine apparatus Is
large enough to accommodate two oper-
ators, who must do their work under the
changed conditions of rarefaction. 1t In
not stated, however. that what might be
good for the patients lungs might not be
equally beneficial to the brave operators In
preventing collapse on their part. So far.
however, the scheme is In a mere expert
mental stage, having only been tried on
animals whose bodies have simply been
incased in a box after their chests have
been opened
Prof Milxulicz the inventor of the meth
cd, promises to present all the details or
technique at the coming meeting OF the
German surgical congress. Perhaps we
shall then be informed more correctly and
convincinely of the practical value OF his
theory regarding advanced lung surgery.
So far. however, operations on the lung
have had very limited range of useful
ness. 1t is difficult to imagine how any
marked improvement can be made along
the lines suggested by merely rarefying the
air during an operation and not providing
against the effects OF normal atmospheric
pressure after the. operation Is finished.
The only way to do the latter would be to
Theoretically seal the chest wall at the end
of the operation and before the patient and
surgeons could be liberated from the box
Only in very exceptional cases OF pulmon-
airy difficulties would this be possible, while
In the majority OF really useful operations
on the lung there would be no need for such
an apparatus.
