FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
DUN's WEEKLY SUMMARY
Improvement Shown Each Week-CoI.
lections Are Better-BIast Fur
mace Men viii Meet to Con-
slider Wage Scale.

r. G. Dun & Company's weekly re-
view of trade says:
Progress is slow, but each week
brings a little improvement, and con
fidence in the future grows more rap
idly than current transactions. The
best feature Is the broader market
for commercial paper.
Leans in mercantile channels are
now negotiated freely at little more
than the normal rate, facilitating
postponed undertakings and making
collections more prompt.
Buyers are coming into the lead
ing markets in large numbers, which
should soon increase transactions un
less prices cannot be adjusted. Man
ufacturers increase production gradu
ally, conservatism being general, and
many industries are not operating
more than so per cent of their full
capacity.
Several more steel plants have re
sumed and others will commence next
week, but production will continue
much reduced until orders come for
ward with greater freedom. Blast
furnaces are slow to resume, and q
meeting will be held next week to de
termine upon wage scale. Prices
have declined to an extent that neces
states plans for lowering costs oi
production. A fair tonnage was taken
by manufacturers of cast iron pipe
but concessions in prices are asked
by all buyers.
Textile mills still restrict produc
tion, although there is less idle mach
inery now that at any time since the
curtailments began in December.
More lines of woolens have been
opened. low and medium fabrics nov
being fully shown, yet without arous-
ing interest among buyers, who ex
press the belief that delay will bring
concessions.
Footwear buyers are gathering in
the Boston market, and large vol
ume of business can be reached re-
garding values.
Lesther continues to reflect the Sc
we're decline in hides last year, ex
cept that small receipts of heavy sole
sustain that variety.

HUMAN SACRIFICE IN RUSSIA.
Amazing Story of Fanatlcism Which
10 BEING Investigated.


An amazing story of fanaticism has
come from the village of Susoyeff, in
southern Russia.
A peasant named Michaloff had an
exceedingly clever little boy, who be
came famous in the village as prod
ICY and was admired, almost as q
miraculous being.
In the same locality there lived a
rich and religious" peasant called
the Saint" who was believed to be a
prophet.
This Saint" grew envious of the
child's popularity and began to
spread rumors that should he be al
lowed to grow up he would become
the anti-Christ and bring untold woe
upon the peasants.
On July 80 the prophet" called a
meeting of the 80 richest peasants in
the district, to whom he explained
that If the boy was killed they would
be made happy and prosperous and
the village would become the capital
of the country.
1t was agreed to sacrifice the child
Two days later the Saint gave or
ders to the men, took an icon In his
hand and distributed lighted candles
among his followers.
He headed the procession to the
child's home at II o'clock at night
and demanded that the parents should
hand the boy over as he wanted to
pray with him.
The prophet" washed the young
ster, saying prayers meanwhile, and
then choked him by placing his foot
on his neck, in front of the parents.
Subsequently he ordered the awe
stricken father to help him to tear
the child to pieces, and as the man re-
fused the body was mutilated with .
hatchet.
The remains were put into basket
which was fixed to the tail of a white
mare.
The Saint" mounted the horse and
declared that it was the will of God
that the body should be buried at a
spot where the horse should voluntar'
lily stop.
The horse was started, and the peas
ants, still burning their candles, fol
lowed.
At certain point the animal halt
ed and the remains were buried with
the hatchet and the basket.
The police, hearing of the occur
renee, arrested 2S men, including the
Saint" and all are now awaiting
trial-Baltimor Sun.

was hurried into bed and nearly
smothered with blankets.
''Oh, my dear, my por dear" said
Biddy, "it's getting death cold you'll
be, and all for that old bell ringing"
"I'm all right now, Biddy; and you
must excuse me for laughing, but
you did look so droll sitting there,
and"
''Shure | was that mad" said Bid
dy, Il lost me voice, and me breaking
that pretty bowl you brought from
France; and the strong broth wasted
and me sight to behold"
Then both mistress and maid began
to laugh, and the merry laughter in
creased the circulation, which was the
very thing the doctor wanted to do,
and Bridget was happy when she re-
membered that more strong broth
could be had in her Kitchen, and no
one was hurt.
Many times during the day Mrs. Ap-
pleton found herself laughing over
the mishap as she thought of Biddy's
picture on the oriental rug.
What snap shot Harold would
have made of it," she said to herself.
and then she laughed again.
The next morning, the doctor found
his patient much better, and the tenn
perature nearly normal.
'Biddy," he said, did you make the
strong broth?"
Indeed and l did, DOCTOR"
"And did Mrs. Appleton relish It,"
"Very much," said that lady, and
then began to laugh again. The doc
tor insisted on hearing the story, and
he, too, laughed merrily with them.
AS he said good morning, he could
not refrain from teasing his friend
Bridget, and remarked with a twinkle
in his handsome eyes: "Biddy, the
next time l order strong broth just
make 1t strong enough to get over the
stairs"
Mrs. Appleton recovered rapidly, and
insists upon it that "merry heart
doeth good like medicine. From the

To the lover of Dickens the news OF

CAPTURING Mexican Parrots.

In the state of Tamauliapas, In Mex
leo, parrots of the much-prized double
yelowhead' variety-famous as con-
observation-disclosures found in count
less flocks. The woods are literally
full of them and are vocal with their
harsh cry from sunrise to sunset.
They seem to have but one note; 1t is
only in confinement that they are imi-
tative. Parrots build their nests In
holes and hollows of trees. The work
of procuring their young is extremely
arduous, even for the expert natives.
Trees in the tropics are commonly
festooend with climbing vines of thick
nesses varying from a thread to the
size of a ship-cable and all this net
work of vegetation is usually infested
by myriads of desperately fierce ants
of large size, which both bite and
sting. Many an unfortunate peon, 1t
is said, has lost his life while engaged
in this pursuit, because tortured be-
yond endurance by the ferocious in
sects, he was unable to retain his
grip.-Chicago News.

CARING for Two Blind Men.

The facility with which blind men
find their way about the city is IL
lustrated in one of the largest restau-
rants of the city. Every MONDAY two
blind men come to the place and stand
near the door until the head waitress
guides them to a table. The blind
men, OF course, cannot read the menu,
and instead of having 1t read to them
they state the amount they wish to
spend for lunch and allow the wait
ress to make the selection for them.
At first her choice of luncheons was
often unsatisfactory, but from their
frequent visits the young woman has
gradually learned their likes and dis.
likes until she now rarely orders q
luncheon which is not to their tastes.
Another detail which is carefully
looked after by the waitress Is that
the pepper, salt, and other table ac-
cessories are always in the same rela-
tive positions on the table, SO that the
blind men have no trouble in select
ing them.-Philadelph Record.

only works faster but more hours

crease of business and responsible
ties. To keep up this energy he eats
too much-sometimes drinks too

Forestry the Great Issue.

The great issue before this country
for the next quarter century, although
external political indications may not
show it, is to be the conservation of
natural resources. This is true be-
cause our natural resources have
been shamefully wasted and we are
now feeling this and beginning to
realize the unhappy possibilities which
the future may have in store for us
If waste Is not checked. Upon these
resources and their wise management
the prosperity of people absolutely
depends. No amount of economic
science can finance desert. There
fore, II our country is to remain

and perpetuate the sources of our
prosperity, and among the chief o.
these are the forests.-Wooi;an and

COME HoME.

Come home, como home; and where Is home FOR me-
Whose ship is driving DER the trackess sea?
To the frail bark here plunging its way,
To the wild waters shall turn and say,
You my home?
Fields walked in faces once knew,
Familiar things so old my heart believed them true;
These far, far back behind me lie; before
The dark clouds mutter, and the deep seas roar,
And speak TO them that meath and Ger them roam,
No word OF home
Beyond the clouds, beyond the waves that roar,
There may indeed or may be not, a shore -
Where fields green and hands and hearts as true
The old forgotten semblance may renew,
And o9er exiles driven far Ger the salt sea foam
Another home.
But toll and pain must out many day,
And days bear weeks, and weeks bear months away
Ere If at ALL the weary traveller hear,
With accents, whispered in his way-worn ear,
A voice he dares to listen to, say
"Come to thy true home!"
Come home, hcme! And where homo hath he
Whose ship is driving DER the driving sea?
Through clouds that mutter and waves that roar,
Say shall find, shall not shore
That is, as is not ship ocean foam,
indeed Cur home? -
