 It Is not practicable to tabulatc ~eplpions regarding the future. The prevailing belief. based on actual con ditions. is that we have made the turn. that business is improving slowly ant hestatingly. showing ln- creases hete and decreases there; hut the average now figures out forward and not T backward movement
 Improvement cannot begin with he machine tool industry. which will he among the last to respond, for new tools will not he bought largely until the present equipment is fully em- ployed. Among machine tool build CTS the dullest are the makers of heavy tools, which are sold largely to railroads and large manufacturing concerns that are practically out of the market. Makers of light ma chimes. and of special tools and sup plies required for repairs and to sup plement equipments so as to bring them up to the standard from which they were allowed to fall when busi- ness was booming, are getting orders in sufficient volume to show that manufacturers generally are making ready for better times. The aggre- gate work of this character necessary in all tho plants in the country in- cluding railway shops. must be enor- nous; and as rapidly as the owners or managers of these shops cans ob- tain the money to pay for improve mcnts they will be made. The auto mobile industry, which collapsed dur ing the last months of 1907. is buying considerable amount of material, and reports indicate that 1908 sales will be much better than expected.
 The majority of manufacturers eX- press desire to keep the present wage rates in force; and say that un- less there Is a wage reduction no price reduction in machine tools and other machinery is likely. one of the most encouraging features of the situation is the almost general improvement in collections, showing that money is now available for legitimate enter prises and for this reason compari' sons with the period following the 1893 panic are inaccurate unless the radical difference in conditions S considered During the three ycar' following that panic and preccdinl McKinley's election, doubt and ucer' tainty affected the financial commun' ity. and the fear that the country might be forced to a silver basis dis turbed the values of our securities,
 Crop prospects are encouraging Farmers have plenty of money. The trade balance in favor of this country will probably be larger than for T number of years. The reduction il railroad operating expenses to a nor nal proportion to gross receipts proints to a resumption of purchases the decisions affecting coniiscatorN legisation and the usual and in creasing after panic accumulation O idle capital seeking rcmuneratiNe in yestment are all influences working for improvement And behind all i' the natural tendency of an energetic people to push forward again

CARE or BIRDS.
How to Protect Feathered Pets Frcr
Red Mites.


Red Mites.
Unless great cleanliness is adopted
with all cage birds insect pests win
prove most troublesome. 1t is by no
means pleasant to A;d several insects
on the hands when the cage is touch
ed or. moved, a sure sign that the m
fortunate bird is infested with para
SITES generally the result of dirt. If a
cage bird is seen to be picking itself
continually under the wings and vent
and to be restless and fidget about on
the perch at night, insects must Ger
be caught and busted with insect pew
der and little quassia or alum added
to the bath water. If the perehes are
made hollow for about an inch at each
end, the insects will conceal themselves
in the hollows in the daytime The
perches can then be taken out of the
cage frequently and dipped in boil
ing water, getting rid in this way of
numbers of the pests. says the Brook
lyn Eagle. An old fashioned plan is to
hang white cloth over the cage at
night, leaving room for ventilation.
Many of the insects viii retire into
the folds at daylight, when the cloth
can be carefully removed and dropped
into hot water.
One of the greatest obstacles to the
successful rearing of young canaries
is the small insect known as the req
mite, or canary bug. The attentions
of this bloodthirsty little parasite are
responsible for the deaths of many
hundreds of nesting canaries annually.
Want of cleanliness is one of the chief
reasons for the appearance of this pest
How to get rid of it when it has once
taken up its abode In the cage and on
the birds is a problem that has puzzled
many canary breeders. Innumerable
experiments have been made. Tur-
pentine, paraffin, carbolic, tobacco.
quassia, soda and numberless other
things have been tried, with varying
results.
Fir tree Oil will kill these insects
and when applied to the joints of the
cage win prevent others coming for
some time. Benzine collas- used for
removing grease from cloth-win kill
them quickly. But it soon evaporates,
and the effect lasts for only a brief pc
Rod. At the commencement of each
canary breeding season all cages that
are not new should be thoroughly
cleansed with hot water and soda or
with soap and water with which some
disinfectant is freely mixed. When
this is dry all the creyices as well as
the wires should be painted with
parafin or with fir tree oil.
After the hen canary has made her
nest and laid her eggs they should be
sprinkled with insect powder # there
are red mites present after the young
birds are Matched they viii be seen in
the ears and nostrils of the nestlings.
A pale appearance about the mouth
and the body looking white instead OF
red should always cause Investigation
to be made Of the young ones. With
constant cleanliness and as much air
and ventilation as possible 10 the bird
room parasites ought not to prove trou-|
biesoI3e.

close scrutiny Of his own belongings,
which resulted in the pleasing dscov-
cry that he was not a French count,
but a denizen of Martinique most
probably defaulting valet or clerk
No one troubled to inquire further
about him. His passage money was
refunded, and he was bundled ashore.
Courtenay's view was that be had
heard by some means Of Isobel's in
tended departure from Valparaiso and
deemed it a good chance of winning her
approval of his countship, seeing that
such titles are not subjected to serious
investigation in South america Sua-

established them on a small ranch
Isobel renewed her voyage some

tile nature soon survived the shocks it
had received. BY the time the Kansas

in the arms of d timid and fearful
aunt, she was ready as ever for the
campaign of glory she had mapped out
In London and Paris.

Captain Courtenay, r. n. and his
wife are not such distinguished per-
sonages, but their romance had a Sc
quel worthy of its unusual beginning.
They were married quietly a week aft
er the Kansas reached London There
was some war scare in full blast al the
moment, and a lord Of the admiralty
who deigned to read the newspapers
thought it was a pity that a smart
sailor should not risk his life for his
country rather than In behalf Of base
commerce. So he looked up Courte-
nays record and found tEat it was ex-
cellent. the young lieutenant's reason
for resigning his commission being the
necessity of supporting his mother
when her estate was swept away by
a hank failure. The sea lords made
him a first rate offer Of reinstatement
in the service at a higher rank without
any loss of seniority. and they went
about the business with such dignifed
leisure that DR.. ChristobaI had time to
find out, through men whom he could
trust, that Elsie's small estate in Chile
contained one of the richest mines in
the country. He secured a bid of many
thousands of pounds for it and advised
Mrs. Courtenay TO accept half in cash
and half in shares OF the exploiting
company.
1t was not unreasonable that Gray
should go back to Chile to take charge
of Elsie's mine nor that Mr. Boyle
should become captain and Walker
chief engineer of the Kansas, while
Tollemache settled down in England.
THE END.
