BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
Indications Give Encouragement for
the Future in Spite Of La
Dor Troubles.

New York, Aug. 13.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says: mod
crate improvement in midsummer
means more than an equivalent increase
at any other season, o I'd the better trade
reported during the past week is conse-
quently most encouraging. Dispatches
from all parts of the country are by no
means uniform, in some cases the out
look showing no change, while at few
points there have been setbacks; but on
the whole the progress is unmistakable
Two labor. controversies are particu-
larly harmful, but others have been St
tied. The Fall River strike is partially
broken and several threatened difficult
ties have been averted. Despite some
injury to spring wheat the agricultural
prospect is very bright, while higher
prices promise to neutralize the effect
of such loss in quantity as occurred. In
terror buyers have placed liberal fall or
ders in the leading dry goods markets,
and confidence in large spring trade is
becoming general. The approaching
presidential election is viewed with
more equanimity than any other contest
of recent years, both in financial and in
dustrial circles.
Failures this week were 222 in the
United States, against 174 last year and
80 in Canada, compared with % a year
ago."
Bradstreet's says: Fall trade ex-
pands but slowly, conservatism based
apparently upon crop disappointments
or uncertainties and labor troubles rul-
ing most lines of distribution. Jobbing
trade the country over, while perhaps up
to expectations, is not equal to the last
lears. Bank clearings continue to run
behind, but railway earnings promise
rather better than earlier expected, as
indicated by decrease of only IA per
cent. in gross for roads reporting for
July. Industrial conditions are not al
together promising, in view of the con-
tinuance of the meat strike, the Fall
River difficulty and the calling out of
large numbers of building hands at the
metropolis. To the influence of the meat
strike is directly traceable the democrat
lied markets for live stock, which are
reported too freely supplied with live
animals, and in the advanced quotations
for hides, and consequently for tanned
leather, growing out of the scarcity of
domestic supplies of the raw material.
The scarcity of hides is reported causing
number of tanneries to suspend opera

Lemon Jujubes.

When the throat is sore lemon ju-
jubes of great efficiency may be made
as follows: To three ounces of lemon
juice add three ounces of pure glycer-
inc and one ounce of gelatin. Simmer
all together in jar set in boiling wa
ter until the gelatin is quite dissolved.
When this mixture is cold it can be cut
into, small squares, which are sucked
as a sweetmeat. For children this is
a very good plan, indeed, as both lem
on juice and glycerine have antiseptic
and curing action on the throat-N. Y.

Mustard Paste.

For mustard paste take one-half
-four and one-half mustard and blend
thoroughly before adding water. Apply
between linen or flannel cloths. When
the paste begins to redden the skin, re-
move and rub the affected part with
sweet oil. Then replace the plaster. If
this method is followed the mustard may
be left on without injury to the patient
for a considerable length Of time. This
is a physicians prescription.-N. Y.

de Rothschild, for some time has pos
sessed al his country place in Buck
inghamshire a fire department Of his
own equipment that has excited the
envy Of his wealthy neighbors. but re-
Gently he has supplemented it by the
addition of a motor fire engine and
can now boast that he has by long
odds the most 'up-to-date and efficient
private FIRE department in the United
Kingdom.
To-day the engine-which cost
.5O0O-and its capable crew are
housed at Tring Park ready to extin-
guish anything from a fire among
Walter ROthschid's pet leas to a seri-
Gus blaze in the great mansion so
famous throughout England as the
place where the week end was in
vented. The men in the accompany
ing picture, wearing the uniform Of
the London Metropolitan Fire Brigade,
made the official test Of the apparatus
before il was shipped to Tring.
The engine is built for hard service
with the minimum of wear and tear.
With running gear of the best known
20 automobile construction, it can
carry eight men ana a good supply of
hose thirty miles an hour on the road,
and when the energy Of the powerful
motor is turned upon the pumps 900
gallons OF water per minute pour from
the nOzzles.
1t is no wonder that the Baron
bought the best he could, for, besides
the palace in which he lives, he has 10
protect the greatest private natural
history collection in the world, which
is the special hobby of his only son,
Walter. Although there is hardly an
animal above or below the earth Of
which Walter Rothschild has no speci-
men, the member OF Parliament con-
centrates most Of his spare time and a
large share OF his income on birds
and-his ieas. Only last August he
offered a reward OF $4,000 for a perfect
specimen OF the flea which makes life
interesting for the Arctic fox. So far
as known, however, that particular
flea is still at large.
Nor is this the only part OF the col
lection in which fire would mean ruin.
Besides his numberless cabinets OF
dead specimens in quarters of Special
construction, animals Of every sort
abound, many Of them too wild TO
roam about the park. and an outbreak
OF fire in this ZOO unless promptly
controlled would soon undo the work
Of more than twenty-five years.

Christian Science Compared.

Editor The Call: According TO a re-
port in your valued paper the Rev.
Jefferson z. Scott gave an address be-
fore the members of the Methodist Min
listers Association on the subject Of
Unveiled Hinduism" and in reply to
questions undertook to compare Chris
tian Science with the Vedant philoso-
ply. While DR.. Scott may be familiar
with Hinduism, it is certain that his
knowledge of Christian Science is very
limited. for what he calls the "siml-
larity between them" does not exist.
The teaching that by mental ab-
straction and Yogi practices there may
be entire exemption from all human
ills has no place in Christian Science.
and the explanation that Yogi lis one
who seeks TO entirely ObIterate all his
faculties and senses by acts OF pen
ance" indicates the great difference be-
tween such practice and that Of Chris
tian Science.
Christian Science is the spiritual un-
derstanding of Christianity as taught
and demonstrated by Christ Jesus and
has nothing in common with the licen-
tious rites and practices which Dr.
Scott attributes to Hinduism. Our
Master said to his disciples. 'Ye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free" and il is only through
knowing this truth concerning God and
mans true relation to Him and Obedi-
ence to Gods spiritual law that exemp-
tion from human ills can be obtained
The practice Of Yogism is as repugnant
to Christian Scientists as it is to other
Christians and has no connection what
ever with Christian Science. Sincerely
yours. FRANK w. GALE
