A WONDERFUL FRIENDSHIP.

One of the most remarkable friend
ships among animals is that which
exists between a cat In the elephant
house at the Geological Gardens In
London. and the large two-horned
African rhinoceros which is kept
there.
It is even more strange than
Aesop's fable of the mouse and the
lion, for the little sleek mouse was
able to be of great service to the lion
In nibbling the meshes OF his net;
but the huge rhinoceros can scarcely
believe that pussy is able to set him
free: yet, that a great affection exists
between the two is certain.
They may be often seen together,
puss toying with the formidable head
Of the monster, who appears to lay
aside his strength, and is as gentle
as lamb, allowing her to do. almost
anything, even to lie sleeping con-
tentedly close to his nose, or play
fully patting his horn with her paws:
yet with one mighty charge that same
horn could easily destroy an elephant.
True affection may exist between
the most opposite natures, and the
strong have it always In their power
tn be gentle to the weak.-Young
Folks Catholic Weekly.

Morals, Etc.

A moral problem may sometimes
be got around by calling it something
else. With the tariff, for instance.
we have no serious difficulty, where
we insist on calling it an economic
problem merely.
Many a man whose hand the tar.
IF puts in his neighbor's pocket
wouldn't do anything immoral for
the world: and when, by a judicious
and timely confusion of terms, we
enable such man to stay in the
game and do his share for progress
and prosperity, we achieve results
of the most solidly profitable char
acter.
The bane Of the business, is OF
course, those politicians, who are
thoroughly selfish and who talk too
much besides.-Puck.

COMMERCIAL
Weekly Review Of Trade and
Market Reports.
Bradstreet's says:

Bradstreet's says:
Operations in industrial lines are
still expanding, and in some branch
es of the iron and steel trade record
outputs are the rule. In fact, man
ufacturing is in the forefront as re-
CARDS activity, and in some branches
skilled workmen are not plentiful
enough to supply the demand. In
dustrial plants that have been late
In sharing in the revival are taking
on more activity, and working OF
night shifts is not uncommon. Pure
ly d1stributive trade has probably
tapered on little at certain large
centers, as interior merchants, hav-
ing finished their purchases, have
left fol-, their homes. Still, jobbing
trade as whole is good, and at some
centers, particularly where fall fes-
rivals are held, purchases OF dry
goods, groceries and staple lines in
general have really increased, though
TALL buying from jobbers and whole
salers has possibly passed its zenith.
1t is obviously too early for recorders.
Indeed, retailers are still making
strenuous efforts to work off sum-
mer stocks while displaying early fall
goods. Within another week or so
trade in this line probably will show
expansion. There has been no ten
dency to overbuy, high prices, for
one thing, having made for the ex-
ercise of caution.
The earlier gathered crops, such as
wheat, cotton and oats, are being
moved to market quite freely, and
the good prices being realized from
the sale Of these products will make
for easier collections and growth in
trade. Building is more active than
1t usually is at this season of the
year and the ratio of gain for Au-
gust over year ago is the largest
shown in any month since May.

When Uncle Sans grave statisticians

to crafty tina wonderful sweet tooth of
his. not only this country, but the world
was amazed.
That great sun is the, old gentleman's
daily sugar bill, however, and the stalls
ticians have figures to prove II.
Like a hungry giant, this country has,
year by year, developed an increasing APP
petite for sugar and sweets-for candy, for
pastry and various other saccharlne dell
cacies-untIl II now manages to consume
in a single year TOSS, $751; 75 pounds Of
sugar.
These facts may appear sensational to
those who regard candy as a luxury, as
one OF the chief causes of the increased
use of sugar in this country is the leaping
popularity Of candy. To satisfy the sweet
tooth Of the nation, candy manufacturer
produced last year Just 500, 900, 900 worth
Of candy. Sold at a profit OF $40, 900, 600, II
cost the people Just $3.50, 100000, The num-
Der Of pounds consumed was 667 900, 600,
The amount Of money spent for candy
alone was Just s., OOO.OOO more than that
spent in 1902. Il is evident that our chill
dren and our best girls are well taken
care OF.
Most men probably recall the day when,
as boys, they surreptitiously suEared
