COMMERCIAL COLUMN.
Weakly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.

a. G. Dun G Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Expectations for record-breaking
demand for Christmas specialties are
being fully realized. Jobbing and
wholesale houses are doing well for
the season, but reports of mercantile
collections show much irregularity.
improvements in the promptness OF
payments is expected when the crops
have been more fully marketed and
greater ease appears in money rates,
which are far above normal, despite
the fact that the total amount In
circulation exceeds all records. Very
little idle machinery is noticed in
the factories and mills, except where
the supply of labor and raw ma
terials is insufficient, and the vigor-
GUS demand for all commodities Is
indicated by the highest level OF
prices in recent years.
Textile mills are opeating large
percentage of the available machin-
cry, although the inadequate supply
of labor continues to be drawback.
Liabilities of commercial failures
reported for November are $11 $780,
1872, compared with $S.S66,7S9 a
year ago.

Fat Prisoner sticks In Hole.

Never allow a fat prisoner to
lead the way to freedom through
an underground passage.
This lesson was learned by eight
prisoners In the Knox County Jail
last night.
Perhaps the escape might have
been contaminated had it not been
for the large Thanksgiving feast fur
nished prisoners by the sheriff. The
girth of the fat prisoner was so far
increased by the displacement neces-
sary for the many things he slowed
away that it is thought to have been
the reason for his inability to get
through.
The prisoners had raised a cube
from the steel floor of a cell, and in
some way had all dirt excavated from
a passage to the outside. When the
time for the escape came the fat
prisoner was selected to lead the
way. He started, but soon stopped.
"G'wan, We bloke. >Wot's ailin'
yer?" Kissed the second man in line.
A frantic waving of huge legs was
the only reply. The other seven
got excited They also got careless.
In their anger they forgot the guards,
who heard the disturbance. The es-
cape was prevented and the fat pris-
oner removed from the hole by
means of block and tackle.
He will be left out of future es-
cape plans by the other, seven.
Poetic Justice commented the
sheriff. They deserved to be caught
after the feed I gave them yester-
lays Chicago Inter Ocean.

Pen For Captnred Rats.

AS the Hindoo population objects
to the killing of rats, an influential
native banker proposes to provide a
rat ruksha,'' or sort of pen. in
which the captured rats may be con-
fined as pensioners for the natural
term of their lives, the male and
female animals being kept apart.
To the demonstrating Europeans
this appears too "Gilbertian" for
grave consideration, but the proposal
has been most gratefully received
by Major Buchanan, l. M. S., who
is in charge of the plague operations.

are many; in fact, almost every serious
illness has its origin in constipation, and
some medicines, instead of preventing con-
stpation, add to Il. This is true Of most
cathartics, which, when first used, have a
beneficial effect, but the dose has to be
continually increased, and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest effect.
There is one preparation, however, that
can be relied upon to produce the, same
results with the same dose, even after
fifty years daily use, and this il Brand
reth's Pills, which has a record of over
100 years as the standard remedy for con,
stipation and all troubles arising from an

That our American forests abound in

medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
BY scores of tho most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-

fuls Of sugar and the grated rind of
lemon or orange. Let the milk come

Take large spoonful of the whipped
whites, about the size Of an egg, and
drop it into the boiling milk. Cover

Then turn each one and cook it the

story of the money spent better than
the smart, but palmer dress. Those
women spend their little all on the ac-

foundation. The material is cheap but
showy--two Of the worst features in
gown for a woman in moderate cir
cumstances And after three or four
times wearing. particularly if the gown
is worn In damp weather, it has the
appearance of being ready for the rag

help 1t. Then the snowy material and
trimming call attention to it every time
it is worn -McCalrs Magazine.
