Weekly Review of Trade and La
Market Reports.

New York;. G.. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review OF Trade says:
Easter retail trade surpassed ex-
pectations, favorable weather bring
ing out very large volume of bust
ness during the last week, while
activity was not confined to speciali-
ties, but extended to all reasonable
lines OF staple merchandise. Whole
sale and jobbing houses received
many supplementary orders, especial
ly for dry goods and millinery, and
further improvements in collections
was reported.
Announcement by some railways
that retrepchment must curtail plans
for extensions has had no perceptible
influence on the iron and steel indus
try, owing to the scarcity of stocks
In all positions. Prices were held
within season during the season Of
greatest pressure, when big premiums
might have been charged, and the
conservation of the leading interests
is now bearing fruit. A few quota
lions of pig iron are slightly lower,
but as q rule deliveries cannot be
made before July, and domestic fur
naces are not able to satisfy require
ments during the second quarter.
This has revived imports, and one
shipment from China is under con-
sideration. Structural steel is TAX
ing a seasonably prominent position,
specifications coming forward freely
as open weather facilitates building
operations, much business coming
from the Central West and Pacific
Coast despite the possibility Of
strike May 1.

Good Food Cheap In china.

Corporal Frank Hayden, of the
army recruiting station, who spent
year of army service in China,
says it is a good country to soldier
in.
THE worst thing about China and
the islands," he said, lis that there's
no one to associate with except ma
tives. Otherwise they're good places,
China especially, to do military ser
vice. Food of good quality is very
cheap. We could buy IT'S eggs there
for SO cents American money or 81
Mex Ten cents would buy a fine,
fat chicken and 60 cents a good
sheep. The Chinese are good cooks
and we could employ one for u very
little money over his board. kan

Breaking Things

Never is a housekeeper quite so
mad as when the kitchen maid
breaks her china; and she has a
right to be, for in nearly all cases
it is pure carelessness. This is
shown by the fact that some girls
may stay at a place for a year or
more and not break a thing, while
there are others who are throwing
out a broken cup or plate every day
or two. And the excuses that are
offered up for such vandalism would
make a book: 81 just lifted it up
and it came to pieces" or 'I put
it down there and it just fell apart"
or 1T was broken BEFORE" or 81
never broke it." And so on indef-
nately the excuses run. And the poor
housewife stands and grieves and
gasps, wondering how long that ia
vorite set of china will last-that
dear set which her mother gave her
when she first went to housekeeping.
But the iconoclastic fury of the
kitchen girl moves resistlessly on,
breaking the handle off this little
pitcher, dropping the lid of the sugar
bowl into pieces, breaking in upon
the last half of those crystal glasses,
smashing the turkey platter, and
losing two OF those wedding dessert
spoons-on, on she goes like a con-
quering hero, and who dares dispute
the majesty of her march? The
kindly lady of the house hardly dares
to venture into the sacred culinary
precincts, to express a faint regret
over the breaking of favorite dish,
for there is so much that one must
put up with in the dire vicissitudes
of Hfe-so much misfortune that
one must accept with resignation
and speechless sorrow.-Ohio State
Journal.

Girl Avn Electric Rntterv.

That Fannie Shapiro is a natural
electric battery and surcharged is
the only explanation that the scien-
lists can offer of the remarkable ex-
perience she undergoes every time
she attempts to ride in an electric
car. Miss Shapiro is 16 years old and
one of the prettiest girls in the Old
Church District, in which she lives
on Phillips Street. The most learned
of Boston's hospital surgeons have
been unable to fathom the mysterious
case.
The moment the young woman
boards a trolley car and the current
is turned on she is overcome with
an uncomfortable desire to laugh and
cry. Before she has travelled half a
dozen blocks she is in tears and then
suddenly becomes exhilarated and
breaks into peals of laughter which
she is unable to restrain. She is
fully aware Of her condition and
knows that she is attracting atten-
ton, but cannot control herself.
She has made every effort to over
come this peculiar condition, but
without avail, and twice it has be-
come necessary to remove her to the
Relief Hospital for treatment.
Miss Shapiro is a buxom, rosy
girl, the picture of perfect health.
and, Inundated by her peculiar con-
ditiOn, which has become known as
'trolleyitis," she began yesterday
walking from her home to her place
of employment, and says she in
tends to continue it until the doc
tors can devise a plan to relieve her
of the surplus electrical energy she
possesses.-N. Y World.

FURIOUS HUMoR ON CHILD.
Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body
Nothing Helped Her-Cuticura
Cures Her in Five Days.

"After my granddaughter of about seven
years had been cured of the measles, she
was attacked about fortnight later by
furious itching and painful eruption all
over her body, especially the upper part of
it, forming watery and bleeding sores, es-
pecially under the arms, of considerable
size. She suffered a great deal and for
three weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think of.
Nothing would help. We tried the Cuti-
cura Remedies and after twenty-four hours
we noted considerable improvement, and,
after using only one complete set of the
Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive DAYS
the little one, much to our joy, had been
entirely cured, and has been well for a long
time. Mrs. F. Ruefenacht, r F. D. 8, Bak-

INSTITUTE At MAYVlLLE

A teachers local institute was
held in Mayville Saturday, June
9th, with a goodly number Of
teachers present considering that
so many schools are not now in
session. Owing to the great dis
tance that most Of the teachers
had to travel and that there was
a big grange meeting at the same
time and the same place, not e.
nough teachers were present in
the forenoon to carry out the
program prepared for the morn
ing session. At noon the teach
ers met in joint session with the
grangers around a table which
extended the full length Of the
I.0.0.F. hall and fairly groaned
under the weight of a bounteous
repast such as the Mayville house,
wives cannot be excelled in pre-
pairing. The teachers showed
their thorough appreciation Of the
grange hospitality in the way
they partook Of the things
set before them. After the noon
hour the joint session was con-
tinued in the way of a program.
The meeting opened with a song
and grange march, led by Miss
Mollie Gibbons and Mr.. George
Miller, which was a very attrac-
tive feature.
How to teach reading" was in
troduced by Miss Loony of Fos-
sill, who has just completed a
years training at that place un-
der Miss Naomi Stengel, one of
the best primary teachers in the
state. Miss Loony began with
the child as it enters school and
briefly outlined the work as it
should be presented in the diff
erent stages Of the child's devel-
opment, Little Hester Near
thur, a pupil of Miss Ranney's,
assisted in exemplifying the
work and together they demon
started the advantages of the
new method over the old. With
the necessary experience Miss
Loony will certainly become an
excellent teacher.
The last entertainment of the
day was a matched game of base
ball between the Mayville and
the Fossil teams. 1t was a spicy
game with few errors and result
ed in a victory for the Mayville
/ boys with a score of 8 to A.
