CROP DEVELOPMENT
WEATHER CONDITIONS HAVE
 AGAIN FAVORED FARMERS.
Dun,s weekly Review of Trade Tells of Improvements In Distribution
 of Reasonable Merchandise.

New York. June 2s-R. G. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 Improvement has become more pro- nounced in distribution of seasonable merchandise and with the reduction ot retail stocks there is broadening or interest in jobbing and wholesale snip ments of fall and winter lines. Weather conditions have again favored both trade and agriculture. rapid develop ment of the crops being potent for good in commercial departments. in few exceptional cases the week has brought no change in the attitude or indisposition to operate until the re- suits on the farms are assured but at most leading cities the sentiment Is distinctly one of confidence and mer- prompt Little machinery is idle in the leading industries except where repairs or inventories interfere. Build ing operations are large although less than contemplated owning to financial
 Increased demand for finished steel the mills to arrange for the customary seasonabie shutdown for repairs and inventories. Well filled order books and importunate customers seeking prompt delivery will make the season of id1eness briefer than ever before It is possible but not probable that pending labor disputes may reduce activities. Some of the smaller con- cerns are still securing premiums on the limited tonnage of plates or other shapes upon which quick shipment can be made but nlcst mills consider de- liveries for many months and the Car negie Company has advanced prices for bars $1 per ton on all contracts for the third quarter. The pig iron situa- tion Is stronger.
 Textile plants continue to produce freely, having much business already under contract but orders are light at this time owning to stock taking by jobbers. From reports, thus far avail able 1t is evident that the supplies in second hand are low. the last few weeks of warm weather having exert ed most salutary influence.
 Variations of large size In the cost of the raw material have no influence on the cotton goods. nor Is the atti- tude Of the buyer potent The domi- nant factor is the extent to which the mills are sold aLead, supplemented by some curtailment of production be- cause of the scarcity of labor. Better conditions in China give an improved tone to the export division but there is little inquiry. Progress Is slow in the market for wood goods, orders being confined to sample pieces in most lines that have been opened.

DUNCAN D. JOHNSON

Talladega Mountain Home.
 In Birmingham, recently Duncan D. Johnson died at the age of 6S years.
 Mir. Johnson was best known to the printers and newspaper folks of Ala bama. AS a printer he had worked in almost every newspaper office in Ala bama. where he was respected and es- teemed by all. For the last dozen years he journeyed from Bessemer to Anniston and would work in the towns between these cities He always found employment and a welcome at the of- flee of Our Mountain Home, where he usually remained for several months when he made his annual visit. T9e was the soul of honor and would not accept anything which he could not feel that he had earned. On his rounds he would gather up gifts for his grand children and was always happy when talking of them. As a printer he ranked among the best of the 'old school" He had a splendid record as Confederate soldier and until the day of his death would talk with interest and enthusiasm on all matters which involved the Confederacy
 Duncan Johnson was "only a print CT" as has been said of those of his trade, but we who know him reeog- nized in his character a man of strong individuality, sincerity of purpose and at all times meeting the obligations of citizenship from the standpoint of human liberty and human advance ment

Temperance Lesson .


 Wisdom was the real idol of the pro- gressive heather of Paurs day. They stiil swung the censer in perfunctory way before their images, but in their hearts they burned incense to wisdom alone. The fruits of the new idolatry, however, were not much more desir- able than those of the old. Wisdom, sought as an end in itself, ministered to pride. It puffed up. It never built up. Of this the devil is an example. It has been quaintly said of him that he was the first person to be puffed up.
 Over against this heather knowledge Paul holds up the Christian knowledge In contrast. Its superiority is at once apparent It's source is Divine It comes by revelation of God. It's con- tents are unspeakably precious-God as father, Jesus as brother.
 But even Christian knowledge, if alone, is dead. If held speculatively, 1t amounts to little. The truth is. knowf- edge Is wing. One can never rise up- on 1t. or go in a right line with 1t alone. Another wing is indispensable. Love is that other pinion. With knowl- edge and love. the Christian can speed his way glorifying God in practical helpfulness to his fellows.
 Paul cautions the Corinthians to keep the wing of love unfurIed The hete- rogeneous composition of the Christian societies made this necessary. Paul Is liberal, He says: We know an idol Is nonenity. Meat can not be affect ed by being placed before an idol. Meat whether so placed or not. can not be eaten without scruples. But be care ful. Don't let the wing of knowledg, drive you blindly round the small cir cle of selfish personal interest Spread your other wing-the white pin. ion of love. Tn your church at Corinth there are many novices in Christianity Theoretically they know that an idol Is nothing, but practically they have not been able as yet to rid themselves of superstitious notions imbibed in their mothers milk. Do not urge such a one to violate his conscientious scru. ples while they remain. If, under your advice. he does what his conscience for. bids, he sins"
 The conditions-then and now anc aiways-demand a generous self-denia for the sake of others.
 Analysis and Key. 1. Wisdom idolized in Paul's day. Perfunctory maintenance of heather ritual.
 Wisdom really worshiped. Result, pride.
 Devil an example.

Statistics of a Smoker.
Brooklyn Eagle.

brooklyn EaSIe.
 rema kable story of swearing off comes from Dubuque. Iowa. where Isaac Manhoff, a peddler, who for sixty years has been an extraordinary heavy cigarette smoker, has decided to re- nounce the weed absolutely. MT. Man hoff fixed his average days smoke at sixty cigarettes, and upon this basis he has smoked in his life just 963,0O0, The local reporter then indulges In the following calculations: He has used 1904. 300 matches. which amounts to 6.022 boxes of 20J each A match averages about two and a half inches in length. and when l,204500 of them are strung out in a straight line. one after the other they stretch 2.710,50D inches, or $z25, ,S66 feet. making a total of over fortytwo miles. If ManhoR had all the tobacco he has used in his life and all the papers in one piece he could roll a cigarette that. if it were laid in straight line, would eX- tend forty-two miles Allowing three minutes for rolling and smoking a cig- arette, Manhoff hrs thus spent 2,S90. 800 minutes of his Ii. .e This amounts to 4S.1S0 hours. or over 2,007 days. Two thousand and seven days are over five years, and thus 1t is easily seen now Manhoff spent about one eleventh of his life in the satisfaction of his de- sire for smoking cigarettes
