DEPRESSION IN TRADE.

shipping Traffic of Japan Has Great =
Iy Decreased In Volume.
The Tokyo Asahi says that the ship
ping traffic Of Japan Is at present UNI
precedentedly dun. Altogether nine
teen steamer of the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha, the Osaka ShOsen Kaisha and
other japanese companies, having an
aggregate tonnage of $1,000, are now
lying idle. 1t is feared tI!et the num-
as the year advances. The depression
IN the mercantile marine is attributed
to various causes. The first is that
since the sugarrefning companies In
Japan suspended business last year
the Importation Of Java sugar 10 this
country has been checked, with the re-
suit that seven steamers, OF over 1900
tons each, which were specially en-
gagged In carrying sugar, have been de-
priyed Of cargoes. The second reason
il that owing to the depreciation in
the price of silver, the export of tim
Der from Japan to China has pTactic-
ally ceased while the third reason is
that owing to the importation of large
quantities Of beans and beancake from
Msnchuria to Japan the shipment Of
fertilizers from the Hokkaido has been
considerably reduced. The Chinese
boycott of Japanese goods and the gen
eral depression In trade between China
and Japan are also In part RESPONSE
bic for the depression in shipping cir
cles.

NJ arat's Bath Tub.

From the London Illustrated News.
The bathtub in which Marat was
killed by Charlotte Is still in existence.
A man IN has seen 1t in Paris, where
1t now is on sale, says 1t is totally I'M
like the bathtubs with which we are
familiar.
1t is shaped like a sabot or shoe, and
Is covered except for a space where
the bather gets in. 1t is not long
enough for a man to stretch out COM
fortably. That would be impossible,
anyway, owing to the shape. The oc-
cupant must sit up, his head and
shoulders coming out of the ankle Of
the shoe.
On the upper part there are two
hooks which could be used to support
a desk. A sort of stool in copper is
fixed to the bath which enables the
bather to sit and write. Under this
stool h heating apparatus vas placed.
The bath a not been used since the
murder, and even now, perhaps, the
bloOdmarks Of the friend Of the peo-
pie" can be seen. At least the sui
phur n other chemicals used by
Marat, who, as is known, suffered from
a skin disease, have left their trace on
the metal.
After passing through many hands
the bath came into the possession OF
the cure OF Sargeau, who sold it to
the Grevin Museum for 5000 francs.

while the lawyers were arguing the
case before the probation officer the
Judge took them into his private office.

cision on a slip OF paper. I want you
zach to talk one of these slips of paper
and write on II your opinion as to what
the punishment should be-a good

long years In the house Of correction"
The judge left the amateur jury to
their deliberations for a few moments,
and returned to find that they all IA
Vored the thrashing.
That is exactly what I had written!"
he said, triumphantly. The jury is
dismissed"
The sentence was carried out on the

After using laxative and cathartic
medicines from childhood a case Of
chronic and apparently incurable consti-
patton yielded to the scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, in a few days.
From early childhood I suffered
with such terrible constipation that I
had to 8 laxatives continuously going
from n drug to another and suffering
more or less all the time.
"a prominent physician whom / con-
suited told me the muscles Of the diges-
tive organs were partially paralyzed
and could not perform their work with
out help Of some kind, 80 / have tried
at different times about every laxative
and cathartic known, but found no help
that was at all permanent. I had final
ly become discouraged and had given
my case up as hopeless when began to
use the pre-digested food, Grape-Nuts.
Although I had not expected this
food to help my trouble, to my great
surprise Grape-Nuts digested immedi-
ately from the first and in a few days
I was convinced that this was just
what my system needed.
"The bowels performed their func-
lions regularly and I am now complete
~ and permanently cured Of this awful
trouble.

Swinburne.

met the poet on various occasions in
London. II attended q dinner once at
which Swinburne was present. Seated
next to him was a titled Briton Of the
type we are so fond OF caricaturing-a

air of great condescension he turned to
Swinburne and said;

pestroyinu Tradition.

An fconoclast, in the person OF DR..
Eduard Engel, I'm a lecture recently de-
livered before the members of a liter
airy society In Hamburg, on The
Legend OF Charlotte Won Stein" tore to
pieces all the illusion which clustered
around her name. He showed by old
letters and other documents that the
woman to whom Goethe had written
1,500 letters which portrayed the inner
most thoughts of his mind and heart
despised all that was noble. She called
all literary people fools" and made
sport Of them. When Schiller died she
congratulated his family, saying that
1t was better to live alone than to be
compelled to abide in the neighborhOod
of unnatural company" The lecturer
ended the discourse by saying that
Goethe's letters to Charlotte will now
be read with feelings Of sympathy for
the unselfish love and admiration for
the poets boundless imagination which
formed q goddess out of this nothing"

There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced 1t q local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced 1t fncurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

HUckSkIN SHOES,

Suede has held its place during the
winter rs q material for boots, but
when summer comes 1t will be to some
extent displaced by its more durable
and wearable cousin. buckskin, which
this year comes In black and tan as
well as in the usual white. While ev-
cry one will admit that this soft po-
o leather is very warm, 1t In without
doubt the most durable Of all leather,
and IL IL is carefully kept 1t will not
lose it's shape.
J In any case, II Is a comfort to think
that the woman Of fashion need not
wear the agonizing shoes Of patent
leather, nor need she limp about In It's
sue-like shoes of Kid. At least buck
skin Is heavy enough to stand a rea-
sonable sole, an important matter II
