WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Country Begins to Settle Down to Business Fol
lowing Adjustment of the Tariff Schedules

New York. Aug. 6.-Dun's weekly re-
view OF trade tomorrow will say:
Every important development OF the
week confirms the revival OF trade, which
set In even with the tariff under discus
sion and which has no vital obstacle TO
oppose It. now that the tariff bill has
passed both Houses of Congress and has
become a law
Business can now adjust itself 70 the
new schedules. and go ahead without any
uncertainty as to the future so far as
custom duties and their effect upon prices
are concerned.
"As it IS. the volume OF trade is large
and steadily expanding. Bank clearings
outside of New York are lS.7 per cent
larger than last year, and 1915 per cent
better than 1906 and II is noticeable that
nearly every leading clearing center re
ports gains. some Of them much heavier
than these averages indicate. The gains
in New York are 35.S per cent better than
last year, and 142 than in 1906 Railroad
earnings maintain their higher position
with an increase Of SO per cent over 1908
the decrease as compared with 1907 being
SO per cent
"Advices from the Northwest Indicate
that accounts OF rust damage were great
ly exaggerated. end all reports testify
to the rapid progress Of spring wheat
This crop IS maturing very quickly. with
harvesting already begun IN a few States
All indications point TO a highly crafty
ing yield. which is causing a brisk de-
mand for labor at advanced wages.
"A keener interest is manifested IN
the iron and steel market each succeed
ing week Buyers are operating with
greater freedom and producing interests
display more independence In making
commitments Higher totals OF pig iron
productions and other evidence OF rapid
expansion appear

TRAINING THE FEEBLE STEPS.
Cent School Was Worthy Ancestor
Of the Kindergarten.

A cent school Is SO called because
the children who come to it bring
each one cent, clutched tightly in a
little hand, or knotted in the corner
of handkerchief, daily offering. If
the cent is forgotten, or lost on the
way, the child goes home for another,
that is all, and has scolding for care
lessness into the bargain. The littlest
children go to it-used to go, rather,
for indeed this should all be in the
past tense rather than the present,
the cent school being a thing OF the
past and, as one might say, great
aunt of the present Kindergarten, an
old woman from the country, who is
rather plain in her ways. Eunice
Swain would have thought kinder
garten foolishness. Her children did
not come to school to be amused, but
to work. She put them on benches in
her big kitchen, because it was warm
there. and sat in the dining room door
and taught them, or chastised them,
as the spirit babe her. She taught the
three Rs, and manners, and truth tell
ing. and, above all, humility, Impress
Ing on these infants daily that they
belonged to a generation, not OF vi
.pers exactly, but Of weaklings. IL H.

East far Their Ancestors.

The Chinese are rapacious eaters at
the feasts which are given in honor
of their ancestors. At these feasts the
tables groan with all the good things
which the most efficient cooks can
provide pork, snow white rice. pick
led cucumbers. chickens. ducks and
birds nest soup. For some minutes
before the feast the six or seven hun
dred men sit at the tables in silence.
Then at q given signal begin the clink-
ing Of chopsticks and the noise Of
indrawn breaths by which the Chi
nese cool the hot mouthfuls Of rice
which they shovel down their threats.
Presently. when the hot samshu be.
gins to work and the faces become
flushed. babel OF voices fills the
temple.
