Another fact is that the ore supply seems to be inexhaustible. Shipments will be suspended until the new freight

Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market ReD0rtS.

New York;. G. DUN & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Further progress was made in
the distribution of spring merchan-
disc this week, but the season is
still very backward and much stock
will be carried over. Confidence is
not generally shaken, although some
evidences of caution followed the
violent rise in prices of wheat and
frequent rumors of crop disasters
Latest reports indicate that warm
weather in some states and much
needed rains in other sections have
given the tardy grain and cotton a
better start. Leading manufacturing
industries have not curtailed opera
lions, several advances in wages
have occurred and there are numer
GUS encouraging developments to
Offset slow progress on the farms, in
Guiding more prompt mercantile col
lections at many cities.
"In the textile industries the event
of most interest during the week
was the increased firmness in cotton
goods, on account of the sharp rise
IN cost of raw material, and better
demand for the finished product
from many buyers, who just began
to appreciate the fact that no advant-
age would be gained by further
delay"

DIR. TALKS OF FOOD
Pres. of Board Of Health. :

"What shall I eat?" is the daily
inquiry the physician Is met with. I
do not hesitate to say that in my
judgment, large percentage of dis
ease is caused by poorly selected and
improperly prepared food. My per-
sonal experience withthe fully-cooked
food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables
me to speak freely of its merits. q
From overwork, I suffered several
years with malnutrition, palpitation
of the heart, and loss of sleep. Last
summer / was led to experiment per-
sonally with the new food, which I
used in conjunction with good rich
cows milk. In short time after I
commenced its use, the disagreeable
symptoms disappeared, my hearts ac-
ton became steady and normal, the
functions of the stomach were prop
erly carried out and again slept as
soundly and as well as in my youth.
"I'look upon Grape-Nuts as a per-
feet food, and no one can gainsay but
that 1t has 81 most prominent place in
a rational, scientific system of feed
ing. Any one who uses this food will
soon be convinced OF the soundness
of the principle upon which it is
manufactured and may thereby know
the facts as to It's true worth" Read,

BORAX IS NATURES
MINE OF PURITY FOR
DAIRY UTENSILS.

Borax is first, cleanser that re-
moves dirt and grease with surprising
ease; second, 1t is sweetener that
makes fragrant any surface that has
grown musty or stale from neglect;
third, it is an antiseptic or destroyer
of germs. It prevents the develop
ment Of bacteria or mouldy growths.
With all this it is perfectly free from
harm in its resulting effects.
The farm churn is kept free from
that stale odor If it is washed with
borax in the following proportions
one tablespoonful of borax to a quart
of water.
The dairy room has nothing about
1t but the pleasant aroma of fresh
milk and cream and sweet butter if it
is kept clean with borax. There will
be no soapy smell and no lurking hint
of something gone wrong.
The cream crooks take on an extra
freshness when washed with borax
and water in the following proper
tions-one tablespoonful of borax to
quart of water. This preserves the
fresh favor of the cream.
The farm cream separator can be
kept thoroughly sweet and clean by a
wash of borax and water in the fol-
lowing proportions-one tablespoon
full of borax to quart of water.
Be sure that you get pure borax.

NEW YORK DAY BY DAY.
Some Of the Things Done Daily IN the
Metropolis.

John Bell, accused of having killed
DR.. Charles Wilmot Townsend at
New Brighton, Staten Island, on jan
uary &c, was found guilty OF MUIR
der in the first degree Thursday at
ternoon after the jury had been out
two hours and fifty-fve minutes.
Judge Abbott at once sentenced the
man to death and set the time of
execution for the first Monday in
July. Bell took the verdict and SEN
tence coolly, but his stepmother
tainted in the court and his other
relatives were much affected. The
last day of the trial was dramatic.
Bell was the only one placed on the
stand by the defense. He simply
tried to establish an alabi by his
own testimony. Nearly every one
who attended the four-day trial won
dered why his counsel had not tried
to show that Bell was insane. After
the District Attorney had finished his
summing up Bell jumped to his feet
and made an appeal to the jury in
his own behalf.
"You have no Harry K. Thaw
here" cried the prisoner. Il am
plain John Bell, without the money
to bring to this court the persons
who can prove an 'alibi for me. In
the Thalia Theatre picked up a
woman's glove, and l asked two girls
in front of me to remove their hats.
If they were here they could testify
for me.
"I tell you it's one thing when a
silver-tongued orator stands before
you and concocts a story, and another
thing when a plain man on trial for
his life tells the truth that comes
from his heart Everything l said
was the truth. Look at my face. Do
l look like murderer"
Bell held up a large sheet of pa
per and varied his facial expression
in half dozen ways.
do you sect anything criminal
in any of my features?" he asked.
would you send me to the electric
chair on mere suspicion? Huh!
don't believe it. You twelve men
have observed every move I have
made in this couftfoo1fi. Have my
actions been those Of murdered? If
had my way l should take this sheet
Of white paper and draw three lines
through it. One column I should
head Comedy another Guilt and
the third Innocence and then !
should have you men make notes
of these proceedings. l believe the
first column would be filled. These
proceedings have been similar to re-
hearsals on the vaudeville stage.
You have seen that I have never
turned white; that was because of
my innocence
1t was at this point Bell began to
talk on wireless telegraphy.
After the verdict Bell asked to
be permitted to shake hands with
the jurors, but he was led away.

Rabbits Came To Town.

Wild rabbits have become so COM
mon about the streets of the city
than an investigation was set on foot
by local hunters, who have come to
the conclusion that the Dummies are
DESERVING the fields and dells and
talking up their homes in the corpor
ate limits.
1t is no uncommon sight to see
rabbits in pairs playing about the
streets, and instead of running away
at sight of persons approaching, they
simply scamper through fence or
take refuge behind tree, where
they seem as much at home and as
secure as if they were in the bur-
rows. Another feature of the case
is that many are nesting on lawns
and vacant lots, where the young
are caught by cats and destroyed by
ogs.-Indianapolis News.

A Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or a starved
liver. 1t would be a stupid as well as
savage thing to beat weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
q great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures of vliver
trouble" by its wonderful control of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. It re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the blood-mak-
ing glands, clcanses the system from poi
sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection of other organs.

Sunken Funds Recovered.

Some idea of the work done by
submarine divers in recovering treas
ure from sunken ships can be cotton
from the following figures, just pub
lished:
From the steamship Malabar was
recovered more than $1,250,000;
from the steamship Alphonso XII,
$450,000; from the steamship Ha-
milla Mitchell, $250,O0o, and from
the steamship Carnatic, 5000, 900.
The complete list is long, but these
figures from Popular Mechanics give
an idea of the enormous value of
the treasures which the greedy waves
have swallowed and the inducement
to invest large capital, construct in
genious and expensive machinery
and run great risks in raising wa
tered stock.

The trial of the Klemme divorce
suit, in which Frank K. Klemme Of

in favor of Mrs. Klemme. The jury,

false.
