Brooklyn Eagle. Even in good health
the ordinary individual objects to eat
ing any particular dish just because
"it is good for him." and when il
comes 10 the invalid ii requires expert
knowledge to concoct palatable, health
full dishes.
Those who have had experience in
caring for the sick know that the
arrangement OF the inyalid's tray is an
important consideration; and the wise
nurse sees to ii that not only is the
food for her patient properly prepared.

EXPERIMENT THAT FAILED.
McSwat Concealed the Sin Of Having
Smoked, But He Tried Some
thing Worse.

81 believe you have been deceiying me,
Brliger," said Mrs. McSwat
"Deceiving you, Lobelia!' exclaimed
Billiger, aghast "How?"
You have been trying to make me
think you don't smoke
Il swore of smoking six months ago,
and you know it"
Il know you did. You don't smoke
about the house, but have reasons for
thinking you smoke at your office just
as you used to do, and I'm going to find
out You mark my words!"
"Humphl"
The subject was dropped, relates c.
w. Taylor, in The Chicago Tribune. Mr..
McSwat turned to his paper and Lobelia
lay down on the lounge and went to
sleep

Mr.. McSwat TO himself next morning
while on his way to the city. 4 wonder

Here an idea so brilliant, so original,
took possession Of Mr.. McSwat that he
laughed aloud.

At $50 p. m. Mr. McSwat presented
himself at the front door Of his dwelling
and let himself in with his latch-key.
"Bnliger, | am so glad to see you! I've
been lonesome to-day"
A pair of soft arms stole around his
neck.
You don't know, Billiger, how

TRADE OUTLOOK
 MUCH BRIGHTER Iron and Steel Conditions Are
 Improved PURCHASES ARE ALL SMALL Pig Iron Now Averages From $5 to $6 Ton Cheaper Than at the Cor responding Date Last
 Year.
PURCHASES ARE ALL SMALL

New York. May FIR. G. Dun X Co.'S
 weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 l Retail trade is stimulated by seasonable
 weather and the industrial outlook is brighter on the whole, although several
 adverse factors have appeared. The big l dry goods auction sale opened with an unexpectedly large attendance and good prices were secured. It Is particularly gratifying to note that retailers rather | than jobbers, have made most of the pur-
 chases. thus providing prompt distribution
 into consuming channels throughout the
 country Manufacturing lines report a | slight improvement at wooen mills and shoe factories and while there is more idle cotton machinery, 1t is worthy of
 note that the last Fall River statement showed very little reduction in dividends Railway earnings thus far reported for May, fall 3.7. short of the same time | last year, but foreign commerce at this port for the last week shows gains of
 Sl, 200 in exports and ssS49, 545 in imports. It Is increasingly difficult to fine en- | conraging conditions pertaining to the | iron and steel industry. Purchases are | small and frequently effected at further l concessions, although it is difficult to find definitely 10 where quotations will go | except for pig iron which now averages from 8 to $6 a ton cheaper than at the | corresponding date last year. Much struc-
 tural work is under negotiation, but thus
 far the tonnage is small and conditions | unsatisfactory.
 Considerable export business f under consideration. This branch of the in-
 dustry will need to expend materially | if domestic conditions continue quiet, or ] the liberal output of pig iron will produce an undesirable accumulation of stocks. Textile markets have improved to some extent during the past week, weather con- ditons being notably favorable for re- | tails trade while the orders for woolens and worsteds increased more than the most sanguine manufacturers anticipated. Cotton mills have further curtailed pro- duction and in few cases quotations at first hands are slightly lower
 Although packer hides are active and firm. tanners discriminate in favor of late saltings which is causing some ac-
 cumulation of the less desirable qualities. Imported hides are steady at the recent decline arrivals being promptly absorb ed. Leather Is quiet.
 Failures this week numbered 226 in the
 United States against 206 last year, and seventeen in Canada compared with seven
 year ago.

GEORGIA PEACH CROP.
Estimate Places Number to Be Ship

Atlanta, Ga, May, 27.-The Peachgrower tomorrow will say:
 During the past ten days the Peach- grower has endeavored to get the best possible obtainabe information as to the number of cars of peaches that will be raised in Georgia this season. All the railroads have been canvassing growers along their respective lines, and the in- formation given is the result of careful and systematic work on their part.
 The following are the estimates given by the different roads in Georgia:
 Central of Georgia, 200; Southern, zoo; Western and Atlantic 1000 Georgia, 14S; Macon, Dublin and Savannah, 15; Macon and Birmingham, 20; Georgia Southern, 100; Seaboard Air Line, 50; express ship ments, scattering, 200; total 4933.
 In the Southerns figures Dalton, Rome Lindale and Fort Valley are not included as these are competitive points The Southern's estimate, including these points, give that road total of 2043 cars. No estimates have been received from the Atlantic Coast Line and Atlantic and Birmingham. These roads will prob ably add fifty cars to the above figures.

RRApsr7EET,s REVIEW.

New York, May Bradstreets tomor-
 row will say:
 The situation is ratherym irregular. Distributive trade, stimulated by better weather in some sections is improved, l but still behind year ago. Cereal crops. | particularly winter wheat, show improve
 ment but cotton reflects drouth condi- tions in the South Atlantic and gulf states while good reports come from west of the Mississippi. The industrial situ- ation is hardly so satisfactory. a slowing number of idle laborers is growing and unskilled labors shows in some sections woeful lack of foresight and knowledge of real conditions. Current railway earn ings continue to show declines from d year ago.
 Better weather is stimulating retail de- mand at the south. The rather better tone noted in eastern leather and shoe markets continues this week. Dulness in the iron trade is responsible for a fur ther weakening in the pig iron It is very generally a buyers market, but values are low and third and fourth quar- ter requirements will soon have to be considered. Finished products are rather quieter although there is some business doing at the west on light rails and re- auctions in bars for the use of carbuild- CTS.
 The copper market has moved lower this week, as has also lead. Wool is dull in hand to mouth demand at Boston, New York and Philadelphia. but is selling ac- | tiyely at prices of slightly above a year
 ago at the west. with one-haf of the l spring wool clip reported sold. The dry | goods market has shown more activity
