Improvement in Retail Trade Follows

New York, May 1S.--R. G. Dun Il
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Improvement in retail trade follow.

more prompt as spring merchandise
was distributed, but conditions are
still Irregular Sensational advances
in prices OF farm products, especially
wheat, followed reports OF extensive
damage TO the crops, but frequent re.
actions emphasized the speculative
nature of the rise In quotations and

Wholesale trade in fall goods is
brisk from all points except where the
crops have been seriously Injured, and
the net result of this forward business
makes the outlook for the future
fairly satisfactory. Manufacturing

Copper in Africa.

II is believed by some that the
greatest copper industry in the world
Will be developed In the Tanganyika
region, where thes properties are Of
great potential value, and may prove
TO be one of the greatest factors In
carrying civilization into the heart Of
Africa. Much time is required for de-
velopments. Because of the heavy
speculation in the shares these may
suffer much before the properties be-
come dividend earning. The Ben
gueles railway cannot well be com
pleted for five years or so, and even
the Rhodesia railways extensions are
now to require couple of years ere
they can reach the property Robert
Williams is the pioneer and, in a
great Teasure, the organizer OF this
vast undertaking, one of the most re-
markabie of modern times.

PONCE DE LEoN's SPRING.
Woman Has Refused to Sell the Prop
erty for $4,000.


There are ten acres OF ground sur
rounding the spot where Ponce de
Leon, on his second visit to what is
now St Augustine, discovered youth.
History tells that he failed to locate
It on his first visit from Spain to this
section, but that on second trip, in
1913, he was more successful, The
property, called Neptune springs, is
owned by widow, who, with her
daughter, stands at the old-fashioned
well AFFAIR, and sells the water to tour
lists who visit her In great numbers.
The water is the purest kind of lithia,
cool and pleasant to the taste. Re-
Gently she was offered $45, 900 for Nep-
tune springs, which has other good
springs aside from Ponce on IT, II is
located short distance from the
ruins OF the old stone wall and gates
OF the city OF st. Augustine, used
when this was province of Spain and
when a Spanish governor general oc-
cupied as "a residence the building
now used by Uncle Sam as a post Of
Ace. Not far away are the ruins OF
the old Spanish Fort Marion, wrecked
and ruined by shell from the gunners
who fought under the stars and
stripes. Ponce de Icons find is now
well within the confines OF the city.
The widow thought 1t too valuable to
dispose Of SO she refused the offer
of $4,000 and goes on ladling out
water from Ponce's well as though
she had not tossed aside small for
tune.

Columbus. o., May 1S.-The term of
DR. ID. w. Greene OF Dayton, as a
member of the state fish and game
commission expired Thursday, but the
governor has taken no action regard
ing It. II is intlmated that he is not
likely TO make an appointment for
some time. 1t is believed that the
governor would like to have the pres
ident Of the board, Paul North, OF
Cleveland, retire. As the board stands
there is not one personal representa-
tive OF the governor in it. North ad-
mitted recently that the governor had
practically asked for his resignation.
He also said he had no intention OF
presenting 1t.

SALT CELLAR OF LONG AGO.
Was Distinctive Mark Of Caste In the
Middle Ages.

This is a medieval salt cellar" said
the antiquary. 1T is huge, II is shaped
like a castle, It is solid silver and the
price-but what is the use telling the
price to you? Very magnificent, Ell?
In the middle age, you know, the salt
cellar was the principal table orna-
ment Guests sat above or below the
salt as they were prominent or the
reverse. Where do you think you'd
have sat, Ell? Queer table manners
they had in those days. The fastidious
had individual knives, forks and
spoons, but the common speople ate
with their fingers. You helped your.
self from the general dish with your
own spoon II you had one, but II you
were very very fastidious you licked
the spoon clean first The food was
queer-rich, rank food-swans, herons,
porpoises, garlic, verjuice, saffron.
There was mead and wine In floods
and ushers stood about whose duty
1t was to lead to convenient couches
such guests as had dined too we'll.
These ushers, being overworked, were
continually striking for more pay. The
hours were queer, too. Breakfast,
dawn; dinner, ten o'clock; supper, four
o'clock in the afternoon"

Precocious Children.

In the world of music we find many
Instances of boys giving an early
indication OF remarkable career.
Handel and Mozart each showed a
liking for music when young in years,
and soon made their mark. Handel
began composing a church service for
voices and instruments when only
nine years old, and before he was
10 he had composed three operas.
Mozart began the piano at three, and
at seven he taught himself the violin.
AT nine years OF age he visited Eng
land, and on his departure he gave a
farewell concert, OF which all the
symphonies were composed by him.
