BEAUTY OF LOD AGE
The. scathed and leafless tree may seem
Old ages m0urnful sign,
Yet on Its bark may sunshine CLEAN
And moonlight softly shine
!. Thus on the cheek of age shall rest
The light OF days gone by;
Calm rs the gl0ries OF the west.
When night Is drawing NIGH
As round the scathed trunk fondly clings
The Ivy green and strong,
Repaying, by the grace It brings,
The succor granted long
SO round benevolent old age,
May objects yet survive.
Whose greenness can the heart engage,
And keep the soul alive.

sauerbier Doesn't Like Name.

Julius Charles Henry Sauerbier of
APO Plane Street, Newark, who ex-
poets to be ordained to the Protes-'
tant Episcopal ministry about the
middle OF this month, will appear
in the District Court, Newark, Sat
urday and ask permission to have
his name changed. Sauerbier is
student at the New York Theological
Seminary. He wants to be known
as Sauber.
A short time ago Sauerbier was
introduced to young woman at
social gathering, according to a story
told in Newark, and the young woman
blushingly turned to the introducer
end exclaimed:
"Now, please stop joking; what is
his right name?"
Since then Mr.. Sauerbier has been
thinking over the change more SER
iously and at last he applied to w.
Eugene Turton, lawyer, for help.

The Largest River.

a sea raaher than river is the
Amazon, with $50 miles of width at
it's mouth. The Amazon drains a
territory of 100000 square miles,
10 times the area of France, and in
connection with itself and its tribu-
taries there are said to be $4,000
miles of navigable water, one-half
of which is suitable for steam nav1-
cation by large vessels.
The number, length and volume
of the Amazon's tributaries are in
proportion to its magnitude. More
than 20 superb rivers 1000 miles
and upward in length pour their
waters into it, and streams of less
Importance are numberless. At the
junction of the Ucayali with the Anna
zon a line of SO fathoms does not
reach the bottom, and in breadth it
is more like sea than river. The
longest tributary, the Madeira, has
a length of 1900 miles.
The distance from the source of
the Amazon in the Andes to the At
lantic Ocean is 1000 miles in di-
rect line, but by the course of the
river it is nearly 1000 miles.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

Put In The Same Class.

DR.. w. c. Farabee, the Harvard
ethnologist, complained quantity one
day before he set out on his ethnolo-
gical investigations among the In
dams at the head waters of the ANA
zon about the sighting way in which
the world still looks on science.
"Only in Germany" said DR.. Fara-
bee, "does science get her due. In
some countries she is so hardly used,
indeed, that the deduction of the
Western trapper comes to mind.
"This trapper, noticing a place
where roots had been dug up, exam
ined the spot and then said calmly,
as he rose and brushed the dust from
his knees:
This must have been done either
by a wild hog or a botanist. -

COMMERCIAL COLUMN.
Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market ReBorts.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Spring retail trade is backward
because of the unusually late season,
and tardy distribution of merchan-
disc is also causing complaint of de-
lay in mercantile collection, but
there is confidence that most of the
postponed business will be made up
when conditions become normal.
Dealers purchased freely from manu-
facturers in anticipation of rec
ord-breaking season, and deliveries
are still coming from the mills and
factories shipments being facilitated
by improved traffic conditions. Manu-,
facturers are active in all leading
industries, most plants being operat-
ed full time, and the outlook in the
steel business could hardly be bright
err. Projected building operations
promise a good demand for all ma
terials, but numerous small labor
disputes retard activity in this de-
partment. All controversies over
wages and hours are not extensive
or alarming.
"Only favorable reports are recelV-
ed from the iron and steel industry
new business coming to the mills as
rapidly as orders are filled, the few
producers are able to take advantage
of premiums offered for prompt de-
livery. Ore has begun to move freely
ON the lakes. Arrangements have
been made for a record year, many
new vessels charging the carrying
capacity"
