COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review"
of trade says:
Weather irregularities provided the
only check to business, partly through
the direct effect on retail distribution OF
seasonable wearing apparel, but more
through the development of caution
among traders in some agricultural Sec
tons where crops nave been damaged or
farm work regarded.
On the whole, however, encouraging
progress is shown in most trade reports
and industrial activity is unabated
Textile manufacturing is in better
position than at any recent date, the
strength of the raw materials giving
additional frmness to finished fabrics.
Footwear factories in New England
are well engaged, and there is no re-
duction in the forces at work in the
various departments of the iron and
steel industry.
Aside from the Chicago strike, there
is exceptionally little friction between
capital and labor, many higher wage
scales going into effect during the week.
Traffic returns are well maintained, rail-
way earnings for April exceeding last

Ensign LOST Fct Sdts
Woe has taken the place of Sweeney
at the League Island Navy Yard
Sweeney was cat presented to a
young ensign by his sweetheart, who
lives in Annapolis. Woe is what is in
the young ensign's heart as a result
Of visitation of cats at the navy yard.
When the young ensign was as
signed to service his sweetheart sent
him nice cat, with mellow voice
and pink ribbon around its neck.
The cat made friends and every night
about thirty of them gathered on the
training ship Lancaster and yowled.
It awoke the sailors on board. An
expedition was launched and every cat
was captured before sunrise, placed in
a bag and thrown into the river. The
young ensign heard the row and
rushed upon deck, but too late to save
the felines.

Who owns the Pearlf

A very strange case has come be-
fore the German courts. A woman
taking dinner in restaurant found
in one Of the oysters served her
pearl, which has been variously val
ued at from $500 to $3.50. The pro-
prietor claimed that this was his
property, the woman refused to give
it up. and the courts were asked to
decide who was the lawful owner.
The restaurant keeper argued that
bones and shells are by traditional
custom left in the restaurant by its
patrons, and that these articles fur.
nish source Of profit to the propri-
etor. Whether or not the courts will
take his view of the matter is ques-
ton yet to be decided. II they do.
and the woman had swallowed the
pearl. it is argued that she could
have been arrested for larceny. The
question has provoked much lively
discussion In German legal circles.
for it has no parallel in German
courts, possibly none in those Of any
other country.

COFFEE HEART.
Very Plain in Some People.

A great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for long time
before they can get their own consent
their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience, as follows:
81 became satisfied some months ago
that l owed the paipitation of the
heart, from which I suffered almost
daily, to the use Of coffee Il had been
coffee drinker for 80 years.. but found
it very hard to give up the beverage.
II realized that must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee, but felt
the necessity for hot table drink, and
as tea is not to my liking, was at
loss for awhile. what to do.
Zone day ran across a very sensible
and Straightforward presentation of
the claims of Postum Food Coffee, and
was SO impressed thereby that I con-
cluded to give it trial. Ny experience
with it was unsatisfactory till I learned
how it ought to be prepared-by thor
ough boiling for not less than 10 or 20
minutes. After learned that lesson
there was no trouble. Postum Food
Coffee proved to be a most palatable
and satisfactory hot beverage, and /
have used it ever since.
1.-The effect ON my health has been
most salutary 1t has completely cured
the heart palpitation from which used
to suffer so much, particularly after
breakfast, and never have a return Of
1t except when 7 dine or lunch away
from home and am compelled to drink
the old kind of coffee because Postum
is not served. ind that Postum Food
Coffee cheers and invigorates while 1t
produces no harmful stimulation"

Postmaster General Cortelyou is one
Of the finest amateur planists in the
country. Indeed, at one period in his
life he seriously considered making
music his profession. Whenever the
cares of his office have proved unusu.
ally heavy he goes to his den and sits
down at the piano in the dark. Mrs.
Cortelyou knows when he is beginning
to forget his official troubles, for then
he ceases the minor strains with
which he always begins and passes to
more lively music, generally finishing
with triumphant march. Mr.. Cortel

freshment in music that other men
find in drink, drugs or long walks.
