Pretty Experiment.

A very pretty effect may be produced
by using some aniline dye in powdered
form In alcohol. Fill small glass
with the alcohol and drop the smallest
portion of the dye on its surface. Il
will shoot down through the liquid,
like a strand of color, dividing into two
branches, which will subdivide again
and again until you have, apparently,
an inverted plant IN miniature growing
before your eyes. An arrangement OF

CHICAGO.

Trade conditions In the Chicago dis
trict, according to the weekly review Is
sued by X. G. Dun & Co.. continue en-
couraging in spite of the snow blockades
and other unfavorable factors. Continu-
ing. the report says:
New demands for raw and heavy fin
ished materials remain strong, with the
average cost for supplies a trihe higher.
More frmness appears in hides, leather
and lumber, and their absorption is larger
than month ago.
Railroad extensions involve much buy
ing OF various materials for early use, and
new plans for buildings, track elevation
and other improvements exceed in amount
those of year ago. 1t is now certain
that the pressure upon capacity is to be-
come more extended in rails, pig iron and
car building The ship yards are unable
to accept further orders fer this years
delivery.
Distributive trade exhibits an expan-
sion which would be of notable proper
tions were transportation facilities and
weather better.
Increasing numbers of visiting buyers
operate in spring and summer wares, or
ders exceeding those at this time last year
in the textiles, boots and shoes, food pro-
ducts mems furnishings, carpets and 9TH
er household needs. Marketings of the
principal grains show further increase,
those of corn being doubled, and the gen.
e1al demand for brcadstuffs and provis-
ions is stronger.
Failures reported in the Chicago dis
trict numbered %. against 26 last week
and 81 a year ago.

How to Exercise the

They do not waste any precious fluid OF

They do not relax the mtestines by
greasing them inside like Castor Oil or

They simply stimulate the Bowel
Muscles to do their work naturally. COM

are thus forced to take, makes them
stronger for the future, just as Exercise

Slow workine Reaxer..

There are weavers who turn out
only one yard of stuff year. They are
the Gobelin tapestry weayers, who work
In the factory in Paris, which is own
ed by the French government. They
average In the year only from one to
three yards of goods, according to the
flneness Of the weave and the intricacy
Of the pattern. These weavers work
at hand looms. where they put in the
filling, or welt, with shuttle held In
the left hand. The back of the tapes
try Is toward them. A mirror shows
them the other side. Baskets of wool
in every shade or color surround them.
They use !, 400 tones in all. Skilled as
these workmen are, their pay Is no
bigger than that of the ordinary Amer
lean laborer. They get about 5000 a
year on an average, or about $12 a
week. These Gobelin tapestries, re-
quiring years in the making, are Of
course very expensive. An offer Of
10000 wouldn't get some Of them.

nj. Yankee Thrift.

A Massachusetts man tells story Of
"Old John" Langley. veteran Worces-
ter horseman, that is illustrative OF
Yankee astuteness.
One day Langley sought his tailor
and in somewhat profane terms de-
manded ga pair Of breaches of the best
stuff In the shop" OF the many
samples submitted Old John hit upon a
beautiful silky broadcloth, the most
costly piece of goods the tailor had,
and, although this was most insult
able for the purpose, Langley insisted
that 1t was just what he wanted. Fur
thermore, he declared that he desired
1t made up wrong side out"
The tailor expostulated in vain, but
the trousers were made as per speci-
fications and delivered.
A day or SO thereafter friend, call
ing on Langley, remarked on the trou-
sers in uncomplimentary language.
Langley said he was satisfied. More
guying resulted In an offer from Old
John to bet $50 that the cloth cost
more per yard than that in his friends
trousers. The bet was taken and the
tailor was to decide it. He named the
price. The friend would not believe
that the rough goods could be SO cost
ly until he was shown the shiny silky
side. Then he paid, as other men had
on similar bets, SO that Old John reap
ed quite harvest on his original idea.

BIG STICK" NEEDED.

The miserable shipping facilities
afforded fruit and vegetable growers
of Florida during the past two OF
three months by the railroads run
ming to the north and east have been
the cause of great loss to these inter
ests in Florida, greater perhaps than
yet appears to them.
In many instances fruits and vege-
tables reach the market all right,
but the delays in transit, cause
damage and commission men are not
able to obtain the prices which fresh,
crisp products would command.
That the kicking has not all been
done by the grower is seen from the
following extracts written by Bal
timore commission house to II ship
per OF Palatka last week:
"The transportation of fruits and
perishabln vegetables has been worse
than was ever known, and unless
something i'll the near future is done
to prevent these unnecessary delays
the truck and fruit business is not
going to be profitable. We have had
oranges from Florida that were
twenty-One days in transit, and veg
etables by express service ten days
in transit. This, us you know, is
out of all reason. 1t is now up to
Florida to do as North Carolina has
done for the last two seasons: that is
to say, make these TRANSPORTATION
niaG l,n Il
ed by unnecessary delays. The Ar
inOur Refrigerator company has been
blamed for this business for the past
lew years, but the A. &. l.. apparent
~ has us much to do with the slow
service as the Armour people, aud
as the Armour Refrigerator COM
pany's cars have been leased to the
A. &. L., that is for North Carolina,
(and we presume it will extend Into
Florida) it would be up to this sys-
TEN Of railway to better its transport
tation facilities. 1t will also be up
to your Florida railroad commission
to get the Big Stick after your
railroads, and if it does not there
Will be no necessity for railroads or
railroad commissions, in the near
future. We have all been throwing
mud at William Jennings Bryan for
talking government ownership of
railroads, but from the way the rail
roads have been manipulated for the
past six months, William Jennings
is cot so much out of the way as we
think, but as these last few remarks
have II political tendency we suppose
they do not interest you, and we
should not have mentioned them"

Cold Reached Tropics.

In discussing the recent cold spell
and its effect on the fruit in that
section the Fort Myers Press of Dec.
9th says:
1--WE have interviewed we'll known
orange growers from Alva, Bucking-
ham, Estero, etc, and gather that
the fruit on the trees has been more
or lest frozen. Some say that only
the oranges on the outer limbs were
frozen, and that the fruit on the in
side of the tree escaped, others think
all the oranges were injured but
that the grapefruit escaped. 1t is
estimated that some. forty thousand
boxes of oranges and grapefruit are
still on the trees in the groves on the
Orange and upper Calolosahatchee
rivers, much of which has been in
iured, while there must be close to
ten thousand boxes of fruit scattered
along the river in Fort Myers and for
five miles up and down the river that
has not been injured at ALL

November was called by the ancient
Saxons the wint monat or wind
month, on account of the gales then
prevalent. 1t was also named the blot
monat, or blood month, from the an
clent practice of then slaughtering cat
tie for the winter provisions. 1t Is said
that the Roman senators wished to
name the month after Tiberius, as
months had already been named after
Julius Caesar and Augustus, but the
emperor, like Canute, felt that 1t was
possible to have too much fattery and
refused, remarking dryly, What will
you do, conscript fathers, If you have
thirteen Caesars?'

Whistler was brilliant talker and a
great debater. shall never forget my
surprise when heard him say for the
first time, "Bacher, am not arguing
with you; I am telling you" l never
forgot the lesson. Later found that
he had used this effectively in one of
his letters to the London World when
he said: Seriously, then, my Atlas, an
etching does not depend for Its impor-
lance upon Its size. I am not arguing
with you; am telling you" He spoke
French fuently, German less readily.
His italian was very good, especially
under excitement, though occasionally
a French word slipped in unawares,
adding to the picturesqueness. I recall
that he considered Poe our greatest

While adopting resolutions which
demand that the railroad companies
in Florida bring their business to a
Estate of modern effectiveness " the
Jacksonville Board of Trade at a
recent meeting made an exception OF
the Florida East Coast Railway,
against which the business interests
made no complaint. Major j. T.

said this tribute to the Florida East
Coast Railway was due, lest, in a
general attack on Florida railroads,
the one notable exception to the
rule, be forgotten and go without the
credit it deserves.

A Good Critic,

Sir Henry Irving, the English actor,
once wanted white horse to use in
one Of his scenes, but no white horse
that was suitable could he get. At last
a stage hand advised him to apply to
a certain distinguished actor. manager,
who, he said, had such horse. Sir
Henry visited the owner, inspected the
horse, and the bargain was concluded,
but as an afterthought Sir Henry said
he trusted the animal was not frac-
tious.
Not at all, Sir Henry, assure you:
an excellent horse in every way. Why,
l rode him night after night, and all I
had to complain of was that he would
occasionally yawn when I was on the
stage"
Indeed" said Sir Henry. "a bit Of
a critic, then, evidently"

Hurrah.

Hip, hip, hurrahF' is a modern
phrase. The hip and the "hurrah"
do not seem to have come together be-
fore the nineteenth century. In the
eighteenth century hip amounted to
just chi" or "hello," while "hurrah"
was then usually "huzza." 1t is like the
Cossack "Oraw but it is supposed to
have been a German cry Of the chase
adapted by the German soldiers to war
and borrowed from them by the Eng
lish, perhaps first Of all at. the time Of
the Thirty Years war. "Hurra" is said
to have been the battle cry of the Prus-
slams in the war Of liberation Q812-13).
Still, the curious fact that seventeenth
and eighteenth century writers call
"Huzza!' a sailors shout lends sup
port to the conjecture that it may
really have been the hosting cry,
"Hissaw
