A new design in fancy wall pa
per patterns comes from Kansas
City; also a way to utilize canceal-
ed checks. A firm has had all its
offices papered with old checks,
placed neatly edge to edge. The
face figures of the checks vary
from $4,000 to 81 900. and the to-
tai for one room is $S,OO0,O0O. AS
gilt molding runs around the
edges of each check-psnel, the
effect is rather pleasing.-Ex..

Dun & Co. Finds the Prospects in the
Mercantile World as Rosy as
Could Be Desired

New York, Feb. Pr. G. Dun s
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Although the average of sixty of the
most active railway securities fell this
week to the lowest point since 1904
there was no corresponding reaction in
commercial activity, which continued
beyond precedent Reports from lead
ing manufacturing ersindicate that
scarcely any idle machinery can be
found, preparations for future trade
evidencing a confidence in we'll main
tanned consumption. Forward business
is most extensive in the iron and steel
manufacture and the cotton industry,
but other prominent producers have
liberal contracts on hand also, and the
mercantile outlook Is bright
Wholesale houses receive large con-
tracts for spring delivery, especially in
dry goods lines. and the settled winter
weather has produced a wholesome re-
duetion in retail stocks Of heavy
weight wearing apparel and other sea-
SOnable merchandise Little specifica-

TOBACCO GROWN IN CANADA.

Sounds funny to hear of tobacco be

W. ]. Clancy of Toronto Not so much
perhaps, to wisconsin people. who
know that it is grown in this state.
where the mercury frequently goes out
of sight. but the average American
thinks of the waving palms Of the
tropics as soon as tobacco culture Is
mentioned. 1t is a fact, however. that
the weed is now grown with great
success in Ontario and other provinces
in the eastern part Of the Dominion.
So great have been the returns, in
fact, that many farmers are giving up
wheat and are planting tobacco in their
fields. "-Milwauke Sentinel.

deadly energy of Benzine Stove Polish
