GlledQO Chicago trade. published
- by r. G. Dan & Co, says
This period ordinarily is marked by
lessened effort in production. stock
taking, repairs and fresh plans involv-
ing most attention. Commercial de-
velopments, however, are seen to car
ry encouragement upon which to de-
pend for continued Improvement. Re
action in retail activity after the rec
crd-breaking holiday trade was provfd-
ed for, and its effect Was made less
apparent by the renewed demand for
seasonable goods induced by stormy
weather The depletion of stocks has
been very satisfactory in heavy wear
ing apparel, household needs and foot
wear.
Wholesale trade was no lighter than
expected, there having been good buy
ing of woolens, blankets and mems
furnishings. Orders for spring ship
ments of dry goods. cotton goods and
boots and shoes came forward salts
factorily, and country advices reflect
steady sales and increasing consump-
ton in staple lines.
This makes firm basis for future
jobbing operations. Recent purchases
have been discounted to a larger ex-
tent than formerly: mercantile coIlec-
tons remain steady, and are attended
with a smaller proportion of defaults.
Western railroad earnings make an
improved exhibit over a year ago, and
would be larger were difficulties of
transportation less hindered by snow
storms and lack of cars. Manufac-
aure1 products of the mills and fur
1aces are offered in enormous quaint
ties for prompt shipment. and the
movement of grain has doubled High
or prices again appear for iron and
steel and building materials show
much strength, particularly cement,
which has become dearer. New de-
mands aggregate satisfactory tonnage
for rails. wire and pig iron. and rail-
way commitments included many cars
and locomotives.
Receipts of lumber were 25,959,000
feet, against 15,217000 feet year
ago Yard dealings were fairly active.

tributive trade generally is marking
time, while past results and future
prospects are subjects of consideration.
A period of marked, even unexpected,
activity in holiday goods of higher
than usual quality has bought to a
closed year which, because of marked
improvement in the last quarter, has
ended better than it began, and GER
tainly in far better shape than seemed
possible at the turn of the year.
Wholesale trade is naturally of the
lightest at this season of stock taking
and inventory, and stormy weather
and the furry in raw cotton have been
additional chilling influences. Rather
less than the usual annual clearing
sales have occurred because of the no.
table absence of stocks of finished
goods pressing for sale. Collections
show some effect from the recent
heavy circulation of money in retail
lines in enlarged receipts.

RANK OF SAlNTE-BEUVE.


If we might credit Goethe to the
eighteenth century few of those com
petent TO judge would hesitate to call
Sainte- Beuve the foremost critic of the
nineteenth century. The qualifications
Of q critic of the highest rank are four
fold. First, he must have insight-acu-
men, the essential gift of the critical
faculty-and this Sainte-Beuve possess
ed abundantly Second, he must have
an abundant equipment-scholar
knowledge of many things, so that he
may compare one thing with another,
comparison being a chief necessity of
criticism - and Sainte-Beuye had an
equipment unapproached by other writ
ers of his century, and his erudition
was as wide as it was deep, for he not
only knew many things, but he also
knew all about each one Of them.
Third, the critic must have disinter-
estedness, he must love veracity for
its own sake, he must insist on setting
forth the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, and here was
Sainte- Beuve's standard Of honor, that
as a critic he refused to be swayed by
any of the social appeals to which most
critics are only too ready to yield. He
had a rigid independence, sturdy in
dividuality, a resolute freedom from
party bias, although he is not always
absolutely devoid of personal prejudice,
And in the fourth place, critic needs
sympathy, or at least he must have
enough Of it to enable him to under
stand and to appreciate men and wO-
men wholly unlike himself, and sym
pathy Sainte- Beuve had, although his
share of this quality is not so full per-
haps as his share of the other three
qualifications for his great office.
He is the foremost critic of his cen
tury in the body and substance of his
work. His contribution to literature
looks big on the library shelves-some
threescore volumes, more or less, all
solidly documented, all alive with the
play of his keen intelligence and all il
Illuminated by his intellectual integrity.
A thin book Of poems and stillborn
novel must not be neglected, for in
them it is possible to perceive the rea-
son for Sainte- Beuve's occasional
lapses from justice in his estimate of
some of the poets and novelists of his
own time and Of his own language

By means of their gills fish breathe
the air dissolved in water. The oxygen
consumed by them is not that which
forms the chemical constituent of the
water, but that contained in the air
which is dissolved in the water. Fishes
transferred to water from which the
air has been driven out by high tenn
perature or in which the air absorbed
by them is not replaced are soon suffo-
Gated. They require aerated water to-
maintain life, and they take it in con-
stantly through their mouths and expel
it through their gills, retaining the air.
1t follows that if the water in lake
should be completely cut off from con-
tact with the air long enough to ex-
haust the supply of air the fish in the
lake would die. 1t would take severe
and pretty long continued freeze to
accomplish this, but it might happen

The First Elevators.

The idea involved in our modern
"lift" or elevator" was anticipated in
the middle Of the seventeenth century
by Velager, who also established the
first letter boxes in Paris in 1858. We
layers lift was in demand until mis-
hap occurred to the kings daughter at
Versailles. The mechanism failed to
work when she was halfway up, and
there she stuck for three long hours
until the servants could break away the
wall to release her. His flying chairs"
then fell into disrepute. The appara-
tus was simple in the extreme; just
chair attached to rope which was
passed over a pulley, with weight as
a counterbalance at its other end. In
1860 some one brought out as new
invention an imitation of this priml.
tive lift. which has developed into our
hydraulic or electric apparatus.
