A PROMISING OUTLOOK.

The movements of trade in the great foreign markets usually fore shadow the dawn of business changes in America This is 20 because the British market, through it's export trade, IS more closely in touch with universal conditions than any other market and consequently is quicker to feel the effects of the temporary spir- it of the trade. It would seem that the trade in this country, depending SO materially on the home market, would not be responsive to tRe move msats of the British market but it nae been the ease that depression broad has soon been followed by de- pressioa here and that q sustained re- vtvaI in England has been followed by aetSViey in this country.
 The TzlI River News, commenting upon tho outlook for manufacturing inprOv~unent, says: Mills in Eng land which have been on short time are new running full and the reports of the textile union secretaries show that the number of operatives who are idle and dependent upon the union funds fs very much less than it was a year aSo. Another sign of briskness is tha complaints of the operatives about driving to get full production. which were not so manifest a few months ago when there was little pros pect of dispOsiRg of the goods that had been msnufa ctUred. It appears a if the time had come when the need for renewing stocks of cotton goods would send buyers into the market to buy to the best advantage even at the high prices which the limited crop of cotton has forced If the recognized rule iE to be followed now. we should soon experience q corresponding de- nand for goods in this country. The uncertainty about the size of the crop has been removed by the reports from the cotton ginners, and it is clear that there will be no change in the cotton tariff for many months and that, even if changes are made, they will not affect the ordinary weaves. For these reasons the coming year bears promise of better business on this side of the water, to accompany the revival of traae on the other"

What Ails the Watch?

If a faithful little watch begins to lag wearily behind the time or to jump ahead convulsively this winter weather the fond owner need not be unduly alarmed, for the ailment is not serious. It is nothing but a cold in the head The only treatment needed is restoration to a warm place.
 You see, the cold thicl1ens up the oil" explained a jeWeller. There is such a tiny amount of it anyway that if it gets a bit too thick it re tards the action of the works, or if it clogs Up the balance wheel the rest of the works will be able to go faster. You never can tell which way the cold will affect a watch, but it's sure to make it incorrect one way or the oth- er-either fast or slow"
 People who do not understand the simple nature of the ailment are giv- ing the jewellers Q good deal of extra business lately.

A Gravy Hint,

T have been spending a few days with friend who is a most excellent cook said the Observant woman Her meat gravies were, without question the most delicious I have ever eaten, so brown so smooth and to altogether tasty I felt there must be some little secret to their making, so I asked her now she was so uniformly successful with them. You cannot believe what she told me. 4 piece Of brown bread is the key. When she makes a gravy she always puts a slice of brown bread into the pan so that it gets thoroughly soft Then when ready to thicken the gravy the bread is soft enough to an- sWer the purpose instead of flour: there are no Jumps, and the color ot the gravy is enhanced by the brown bread. Just try it yourself and see what change is brought about by this simple trick"

TabIec!otb of Handkerchiefs.

The daintiest of IittIe tablecloths can be made from four hemstitched fancy handkerchiefs, four and a hale yards of insertion--or more, according to the size of the handkerchiefs-arld d about six yards of lace. The cost is regulated, naturally, according to the price of the materials selected.
 Take two strips of insertion, two inches wide, each cut into lengths of about three quarters of d yard. Cross them and sew together in the center. Into each angle lay a handkerchief, and sew the insertion onto the hens. This has the effect of joining the handkerchiefs, with insertion all around, and gather the lace on to that You will be surprised to see what a nice slze it has turned out.

CONFIDENCE IN A YOUNG MAN.

Ore, with an endowment of under the direction of William Tru under the direction of William Tru- fant Foster, who is less than 32 years of age and a graduate of Harvard, which shows that the west has conf dence in New England educated and trained young men.
 It will be remembered that when Daniel Colt Gilman was called to the head of the Johns Hopkins university the only objection made to him was his youth, and he facetiously assured them that he would grow old as rap idly as possible. His development as a great educator shows what Balti- more would have lost had prejudice against youth barred the way to him.
 President Hyde of Bowdoin college has this to say of Mir. Fosters abili- ties:
 Two years ago. just before com mencement, he asked me whether had any objection to having q big class the following year. I told him there was no objection. He spent the summer with a stenographer in Bruns- wick. and. sure enough, the class he had predicted-ffty per cent larger than any previous class-was clam bring for admission in September!
 "A thorough scholar, m accomplish ed writer, an efficient speaker, q sue cessful author. skilful teacher. a masterful administra tor, a diIisent stu dent of educational problems, with wide acquaintance in university cir cies, and a genial personality, he has all the qualities that promise a bril- liant career in what Dr Wallace But trick of the general education board has called the best educational oppor- tunity in the country.
 Tn these days of self-seeking. wire pulling and favoritism, his election to the presidency of Reed college-a com plete surprise to minis a reassuring evidence that Opportunity and Capac- ity still ngeet-prOvided the trustees of Opportunity turn down all self constituted candidates and seek over the whole length and breadth of the continent for the best capacity: and the possessor of capacity turns a deaf ear to all merely lucrative calls out of his own distinctive line and waits patiently and works unceasingIy to fit himself for the largest opportunity in his distinctive line which the coun- try affords
 President Foster is to select the en- tire faculty for Reed college and will distinguish himself for good judgment in organizing the institution.
