No disturbing developments hinder a
reasonable advance in industrial affairs
New demands come forward freely and
the only trouble is the inability to catch
up with old contracts involving produc-
ton of heavy materials. In t~ransporta-
ton, bank payment and failure returns
there is much encouragement, all reject
ing steady progress.
Weather conditions prove unusually ia
vorable to trade generally and more &C.
tivity is seen in distributing and manu-
featuring, with retail dealings showing
further gain in the cleaning up OF winter
wares. Leading producers continue un-
der the pressure of an exceptional accu-
mutation Of forward business and fuls
available capacity Of the furnaces, rail
mills and car shops IS drawn upon. Inc
outputs add enormous tonnage to the
freight handled, and although special eft
forts have more success in reinforcing
railroad equipment it is not easy to OBJ
tain prompt deliveries at various points.
The supply of cars has improved to the
extent of permitting a largely increased
marketing of crops and greater shipments
of spring goods to the interior. Factory
materials remain in undiminished request,
current sales being extended and prices
quite firm.
Bank clearings, $202.3A0.7S5, exceed

ments, and that he had loaned himself
1000, 900 Of the roads funds, giving
practically worthless securities as col
lateral, Mr.. Hartman caused a sensa-
ton when he told that ~Stuyvesant Fish
was ousted from the presidency of the
road for misusing the company's funds.
Other secrets told by Hartman may
be summarized as follows:
The Union Pacific bought only a domi
nant minority of Southern Pacific stock
because it could rule the road without
holding a majority.
When a plot by James R. Keene to
grab the road and divide it's surplus
among stockholders was discovered in
1908 William Rockefeller came to the
rescue. He took over some S17,OOO,OO0
Of Southern Pacific stock with a written
guarantee that it would be repurchased
without loss to him within a year.
The States of Washington and Oregon
would be ten years ahead of where they
are to-day if the government had permit
ted Hartman to take over the Northern
Pacific.
The States mentioned would be ten
years behind where they are now if he
hadn't put through the Southern Pacific
Union Pacific deal.
But for the Sherman antitrust law HI
would have a road from New York tt
San Francisco in a week.

Turn out ..Antiaue., OAK.

You will have to so 4 long way"
said an art collector the other day,
before you find a body Of men more
clever than those cabinet makers who
produce goods to satisfy the desire of
the public for furniture made of old
and fancy woods. They can transform
whitewood into all kinds of exotic
woods by means Of chemicals, and a
chemist would be surprised if he were
to have the run of one Of those fac
tories for a day.
The manufacture of antique oak Is
one Of the easiest of their processes.
The boards, holdings panels or what
ever pieces are required are made Of
oak which has just had time to dry
sufficient to prevent excessive warping.
They are then placed in a dark
room, on the floor Of which and quite
close to the furniture to be aged are
placed several bowls, plates and 70
forth Of liquid ammonia. The room is
then Theoretically closed up and the
wood is left for q month or so, accord
ing to the age which is required. The
coloration will extend to a depth of
nearly a quarter Of an inch If the room
Is kept closed for a few months.
THAT is why there is SO much old
oak furniture about. OF course, a lit
tie reflection would show that it could
not be genuine-the forests Of the
middle ages would not have furnished
one-half of it-but people do not al
ways reaect."ABaltimore SIM.

NEW YORK.

Actual trade and industrial develop
ments are quite generally favorable, bet
ter weather conditions and the easing of
the railroad blockades being largely in
strumental in this direction. Jobbing
trade in the spring and summer fabrics
has expanded at the East, at leading
southwestern centers and at prominent
southern markets. Better reports also
come from the Northwest, where the rail-
roads are winning out of the snow block
AIDES, and on the North Pacific coast,
where the car congestion is less acute and
preparations for spring trade are noted.
Collections are still irregular, but tend
to slowness, as retail trade in winter
goods is largely over and spring business
has hardly begun. Retail stocks of Win
ter goods nave been well reduced, low
ever.

MARKET DAY IN NORMAN TOWN.
Women of los Do Their own
Buying and Bargaining.

WOme of NaIOEEes DO Ihe1r own
buying and bargaining.
All the women of Valognes do their
own marketing and some OF the we'll
known fish women and farmers wives
who come in from the country with
poultry would be quite hurt if Madame
In Comtesse didn't come herself to give
her orders and have a little talk. This
morning l have beer to market with
| Countess Florian, relates a writer In
| S%cribner's Magazine. hi women look
ed so nice and clean in their short,
| black, heavily plated skirts, high white
caps and handkerchiefs pinned over
! their bodices. The little stalls went all
down the narrow main street and
| spread out on the big square before the
church. The church is large, with a
square tower and fine dome-nothing
very interesting as to architecture.
Some of the stalls were very tempting
and the smiling. red-cheeked old wom-
en, sitting up behind their wares, were
so civil and anxious to sell us some
thing. The fish market was most invit-
ing-quantities of fiat, white turbots,
shining silver mackerel and fresh Gre
yettes piled high on a marble slab with
water running over them. Four or five
sho~rt-skirted. bare-legged fisher girls
were standing at the door with baskets
of fish on their heads. Florian
Joined us there and seemed on the best
of terms with these young women. Fe
made all kinds of jokes with them, to
which they responded with giggles and
a funny little half courtesy, half nod.
Both Flortans spoke SO nicely to all
the market people as we passed from
stall to stall. The poultry looked very
good-such fat ducks and chickens. 1t
was funny TO see the b~ourgeoises of
valognes all armed with a large basket
doing their marketing; they looked ut
the chickens. poked them, lifted them
so as to be SUN of their weight, and
evidently knew TO a centfme what they
had to pay. ] fancy the Norman me
nagerie is a pretty sharp customer and
knows exactly what she must pay for
everything. fine vegetable stalls We're

sterilization Of Insane.

The idea of preventing reproduction Of
insane persons is contained in a bill be-
fore the Wisconsin Legislature, which
proposes to create an examining board Of
three persons ; a physician, a lawyer and
a n~eurologist. Their duty would be to
pass upon the condition of imbeciles and
hopelessly insane, and to perform the
operation of sterilization. AT the same
time, the State board controlling insane
asylums and prisons has recommended
the penalty of sterilization for criminal
assault.

CHAPTER XIX.

There was great dismay at the Pacto-
lus mine when it became known that
yandeloup was going to leave. The only
two who were unfeignedly glad at vande-
loup's departure were Selma and McIn-
tosh, for these two faithful hearts had
seen with dismay the influence the French
man was gradually gaining over Madame
Midas.
For some time past Mcintosh had not
been satisfied with the character of the
ground in which he had been working, so
abandoning the shaft he was then in, he
had opened up another gallery to the west,
at right angles from the place where the
famous nugget had been found. The wash
was poor at first, but Mcintosh perse-
yered, having an instinct that he was on
the right track. A few weeks work prov
ed that he was right, for the wash soon
became richer and as they went farther
on toward the west, there was no doubt
that the long-lost DEVILS Lead had been
struck. This gave Madame Midas a week
ly income of one thousand one hundred
pounds, 80 she now began to see what a
wealthy woman she was likely to be.
yandeloup congratulated Madame Mi
das on her luck when he was going away,
and privately determined that he would
not lose sight of her, as, being a wealthy
/ woman, and having a liking for him, she
would be Of great value. He went to Bal
! larat, and put up at the Waffle Tree
Hotel, intending to start for the metrop-
! oils next morning; but on his way, in
order to prepare Kitty for his coming,
| sent q telegram for her, telling her the
| train he would arrive by, in order that
| she might be at the station to meet him.
After his dinner he suddenly recollect-
| ed thai he still had the volume which DR.,
! Goilipeck had lent him, 50, calling q cab,
| he drove to the residence Of that eccentric
individual to return it.
When the servant announced NJ. Van.
| deloup, she pushed him in and suddenly
| closed the door after her, as though she
was afraid Of some of the doctors ideas
getting away.
Good evening, doctor" said vandeloup
laying the book down on the table al
which Goliipeck was seated; I've come
to return you this and say good-by."
