CONFIDENCE NOT IMPAIRED
Dun's Says Tight Money Caused 6usl-
ness Contraction.

New York. Nov. Pr. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says:
contraction has followed the fnan-
cIal crisis Of last week, but only to
the extent compelled by inability TO
raise money. There is no evidence
that confidence has been permanently
impaired; on the contrary, gratihca-
ton is felt that the nation was so
strongly fortified ~ a decade OF I'M
exampled prosperity that the severe
strain made no deeper impression.
Many contemplated developments
have been postponed, and merchants
find rates for commercial paper almost
prohibitive, yet retail trade is stimu-
lated by more seasonable temperature.
and at interior cities collections I'M
prove with the movements Of crops
to market.
Conditions in the iron and steel in
dustry are not materially altered. ex-
cept that new business is smaller
Mills continue well occupied on old
contracts as a rule. and as there have
been no cancellations II is probable
that no extensive reduction In activity
will take place this year"

mo turquoise ought ever to be ex-
posed to the action Of soapy water"
said a jeweler. THE best turquoise
gems are Of a delicate tint OF blue,
but II turquoise ring Is kept on the
hand when washing In few months,
sometimes I'm a few weeks, the blue
stone changes to a dingy green, loses
its luster and becomes worthless as a
gem. Then, again, no gems ought
ever to be exposed to hot water. Opals
generally lose their fire and sometimes
crack In water no hotter than the
hand Will bear, and perhaps that is
one reason why the opal Is considered
an unlucky stone.
"Some time ago lady brought us a
large pearl set In a ring. The pearl
had lost its luster so completely that It
might easily have been mistaken for a
little ball OF unpublished marble. Its
surface was rough, hadn't particle OF
shine. It would hardly be known for
a pearl. We guessed at once what
was the matter and asked her II she
hadn't been handling something that
had acid In It. She couldn't remember
at first, but finally recalled that she
had been putting up some pickles with
strong vinegar and supposed she got
her fingers in the vinegar. That was
the whole trouble. A pearl IS nothing
but carbonate of lime. and vinegar or
any other acid will eat Off the polish
In a few minutes. All colored gems
are liable to fade little on exposure
to the sunlight and when not in use
should be kept In the dark.'-St. Louis

New York. Nov 2.-EXperiments at

to be taken to prevent the burning Of
the flesh.
The treatment IS repeated two or
three times at intervals Of three or
four hours, and In many cases the
pain is reduced or driven away for sew
eral hours afterward
Hospital physicians say they cannot
explain in what way the light acts.
They do not think 1t has any thers-
psutic value aside from the relief Of
pain.
one of them said that he had tried
It upon himself for a raging toothache,
and had found it drove the pain away
for several hours. The best results
are hoped from It in general medical

A Curfnnn Wnnden. Watch.

The most curious tlmekeeper perhaps
that has ever been made in this coun-
try was the work Of one Victor Dor1ot,
who lived at Bristol, Tenn, In the last
century. This theological oddly was
nothing more or less than a wooden
watch. The case was made Of brier
root, and the inside works-all except
three Of the main wheels and the
springs, which were Of metal - were
made from a piece Of an old lockwood
rule. The face, which was polished
until 1t looked like a slab Of finest
ivory, was made from the shoulder
blade Of On old COW that had been
killed by the cars. "Doriot's queer
watch as It was called, was an open
faced affair, with a glass crystal, and
was pronounced an elegant piece OF
workmanship by all the watchmakers

THE BANANA PLANT.

of the Fruit.
The banana plant Is not properly a
tree at all. 1t has no woody fiber. II Is
a large, green, fleshy plant with big
leaves six or eight feet long and some
times two feet broad. II grows to
height OF ten to fourteen feet or even
more, according 10 the variety Of
plant and the soil and climate. Each
tree produces one bunch Of fruit only,
which IS really the terminal bud Of the
plant, Just like an ear OF wheat or
barley. II has no branches. and when
the fruit is ready. which Is twelve or
fifteen months from the date Of plant
Ing, the tree Is cut down and done
with.
But while It Is growing up and ma
turing It's fruit It Is at the same time
sending up from its roots other young
plants or suckers perhaps eight or
nine Of them. Each Of these will pro-
duce its own bunch In turn, some of
them In q couple Of months after the
parent plant, and there will thus be
regular succession Of fruit. Many Of
these suckers have to be dug up and
planted elsewhere, or they would be
too thick on the ground.
And there Is this popularity about
the banana: You can plant It at any
season, and the fruit ripens all the
year round When once banana field
has been planted out. all that is neces-
sary to be done is to keep It clear Of
weeds and keep thinning out the multi
plying suckers.

the vast industrial army Of the Pitts.
