 BOOM IN TRADING
Foreign Representatives Predict
 Revival Soon

Moscow, May 26-The Boshevik government anticipates a great revival of foreign trade this summer. These hopes are based upon the presence in Moscow of a number of German, Swedish and other representatives Of | big capital.
 Up to the present time the accom- plishments of these capitalists are un- known or incomplete, but there can be no doubt that important negotla- tions for German participation in the industrial restoration of Russia are under way.
 German and Swedish locomotives ordered last year are now arriving in increasing numbers, There are ru- mors of important conferences with krupp and other German firms which might lead to reconstruction by the Germans of all Russia's damaged rail- way rolling stock and repair shops

Furthermore, so far as these can celed orders and other previous deal- | ings with America are concerned, the Soviet government apparently takes the stand that these are matters to be settled with the American govern ment, when trade agreement is cf- fected and all past differences are ironed out.

LIVE IN FEAR OF SPIRITS
Copper EsI<imos Believe Themselves
Constantly Surrounded by Mys-
terious and Hostile Powers.

The Copper Eskimos believe that
many strange and only semi-human
races surround their land The In
dians, they feel, may be human, but
the peoples far from them are alto
gether strange.
Birds and animals, think the Copper
EskimOs, can be offended by scOrnful
words, and the hunter who mOcks the
caribou or seal will be suddenly
stricken down by illness or logged by
constant III luck. Not only must the
Eskimo propitiate the shades of his
human dead, but also the spirits of
the animals he kills.
Mysterious and hostile powers, in
visible and incalculable, hem them
in, as they believe, on every side,
SO that they never know from day
to day whether a fatal illness or mis-
fortune will not strike them or their
families-frOm no apparent cause, and
for no reason, save the i'll will Of those
unseen foes.
The main distractions of the Cop
per Eskimos are singing and dane
ing. Practically all their songs are
dancing songs. They have fashions
in clothing. Every man and woman
of fashion should possess two suits
Of everyday working clothes, one for
summer and one for winter, a thick
set Of heavy winter clothing for travel
and visiting, and lighter set of short
haired summer skins Ornamented with
cOlOred bands and insertions, fringes
and appendages of various Kinds, TO
wear in the dance house on ceremonial
occasions.

ceSter of having cOmpaSSed her muir

tween Leicester and Elizabeth.
As long us Elizabeth lived even
guarded criticism was dangerous. 1t
required a change of dynasty to re-
lease even yelled speech. AS for fiat,
open discussion of the mystery of Amy

note. il was still quite impossible.

PapaI Robes.

During the election of a new pope
it is customary to prepare in adj
vance three sets of white papal robes
of different sizes, as no one can tell
which of the candidates for papal
hOnors will be chosen. On Septem-
Der 6, 1914, when Benedict XIV en-
tered the Sistine chapel arrayed in
the papal robes of the smallest size,
it was found that even these were
Tar too large. The robes must be IN

Furnishing unfortunates.

Many Italian cities during the Mid
die ages had a curious way of punish
ing bankrupts. A large stone was
set up in the market place Of the
town, and to this stone, on a certain
day, were led all traders who had
failed within the last year. One by
one they were placed in the center
of the stone and their balance sheets
were read To the crowd, which was
permitted to jeer at each one in turn
for a specified time, the presiding
official calling time" on the abuse by
striking on a bell.
When the jeering was over the bank
rupt was bereft OF a necessary pOr-
ton of his clothing and seized by
the shoulders and knees by six pub
lie officers, who deliberately bumped
him on the stone u times, in honor,
it is said, of the Twelve Apostles.
SchoOlbOys were encouraged to attend
this performance, as 1t was considered
to give them Il wholesome lesson in
commercial ethics.
