Manchester, May 14.-The cloth mar
ket continues firm at good inquiry,
but only moderate business was done.
Piece goods sold well to India, while
American and South American markets
subscribed a fair quantity of miscel-

trade are still doing little. Yarns show
an increasingly firm undertone with
quotations a farthing dearer. Stocks
OF American descriptions are gradually
shrinking despite the increasing pro-
duction.

BaIxac's Way.

Jules Sandeau relates that one time
while living in Paris Balzac locked
himself up in his room for twenty-five
days and twenty-five nights. refusing
to see any one and keeping the cur
tains closed and the lights continually
burning even in broad daylight. The
only human being he saw during this
time was his servant. whom he rang
for when he felt the need Of food and
which he washed down with numerous
cups Of coffee. He would throw him
self on his bed only when entirely ex-
hausted from lack Of sleep, and he re-
manned in complete ignorance of what
was transporting outside, the state Of
the weather and even of the time and
day of the week. He only freed him
self from this voluntary captivity
when he had written the word END"
on the last page Of the manuscript he
began when he entered his prison.

II is mistake to suppose the stomach

means dyspepsia is cured. The digestive
process begins in the mouth and does not
end until the food has reached the in

mouth, the stomach. lower stomach, liver,

process. This process is going on con-

rest the stomach. they digest the residue
Of food weak digestive system cannot
digest and thus relieve the body of irri-

Tablets contain just enough Pepsin, and
Pancreatin to do this. They also con.

Tablets cure dyspepsia the only way il

the reporter had received dispatch

word that his story had been re-

was putting out the light the hotel
porter appeared with the inevitable
tray and the inevitable telegram. The
reporter opened it and read:
'sWhat time does court open in the
morning?"
It was too much. He hated the sight
Of a telegram. He had been fleeing the
curse Of the dispatches only to have
them pursue him to bed He sat down
and wrote to his Office the most cour-
teous answer he could compose:

a SMALL BIRD.


But II Had Mighty Swat When Il
Came Down Dead.
w. M. Newson tells of an amusing
incident In which dead duck dis
played more activity than would a live
one. The incident is as follows:
We saw a small dock of broadbills
approaching They came directly for us,
but unfortunately did not stop for our
decoys As they arrived almost over
us we stood up and fred l pulled on
nice plump looking drake. He start
ed to fall. so turned my second load
loose rather prpmiscuously and then
started to load up. Behind me Johnny
was still shooting. Then johnny yelled,
and something hit me d mighty swat
on the back Of my neck. whereupon
tried to clean a big hunk of stone of
its barnacles by means of my nose and
front teeth. This may be pleasant to
look upon, but it is not an enjoyable
pastime.
II had always liked JOHNNY. but the
thought that he had hit me on the
back of the neck and was now laugh
ing was TOO mucn.sl started TOT MIN
with murder In my eye and large
driftwood stick in my hand Johnny,
still in fits of laughter pointed behind
me and numbled some words about
duck l looked around. and there be-
hind me on the rocks was the same
plump looking drake that / had shot
at the first time. 1t was hard to real
lie that such a small bird had such a.
mighty swat.
when Johnny had come out of his
commissions and had picked the
feathers out Of my back hair we look
ed around bit and found there were
four dead broadbills, SO cheered up
bit. Johnny didn't need any cheer
