Only sustained activity in all
lines could keep the bank clearings
up like as have been in the opening
weeks of spring. The wholesale
houses continue to enjoy large
business and the retail stores par
ticular,y have done a record spring
trade. An increase of hundred
thousand dollars this week is larger
than it appears on its face, because
the corresponding week of last year
experienced something of a spurt,re-
quiring a large volume of business
this week to show an increase. To-
bacco continues to play an important
part in business and real estate has
been active. Adding the contemplated
expenditure of $4,000 by the board
of education on two new buildings, to
the work already Planned, will insure
good conditions throughout the sum-
mer, until the fall business comes in
to swell the volume. A glance at the
advertising columns of The Sun will

Mental Medicine

A somewhat eccentric physician who
recently died would order patients TO
take walks, say daily, on the left side
OF the street, returning by the other
SIDE; another he would order to arise
each morning ut certain hour and
eat cheese with ginger beer; another to
take supper precisely at midnight and
eat only apples, or he would instruct
the patient to put Just so many grains

more conspicuous instances of gal.

attached to the hydrauts at a mo-
