TRADE TOPICS.
Dun & Co.’s Review of Trade for the
Past Seven Days.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s w’eekly Review
of trade says: The repeal of the silver
purchase act does good already. The
business world in every part of the
country reckons it helpful, and tho
i tone of trade is more coniideut. It is
hardly the time as yet for the effects
to be felt to any great extent in man¬
ufactures, but bankers are more liberal
in accommodations and merchants
more hopeful in purchases. It is well
to remember that the act will do less
good than if it had been passed early
in the spring, or without delay alter
congress had assembled. It cannot
now prevent the several thousand fnil-
ures which have already occurred nor
relieve the creditors from resulting
[ embarrassments. It cannot now save
from loss a multitude of manufactur-
1U S establishments which have closed
^ecuuse the future seemed uncertain,
11 wil1 g° far to restore business con-
; fiance, which was much ueeded, but
many may expect from the measure
larger returns than can at this late day
be realized.
The action of congress had less vis¬
ible influence upon speculative mar¬
kets for products in part, because for¬
j eign markets obstinately refused to
accept the higher valuations which
! speculators here tried to establish.
The people across the water award un¬
stinted praises to those who secured
the repeal bill, and there is not much
disposition to pay higher prices on
that account. In view of the great
abundance of money at speculative
centers, the weakness of the market is
more insignificant. Industries could
not be expected to make any material
gain as yet, in consequence of no
financial conditions, but the demand

PUGULISTIC ALDERMEN.
A Disgraceful Scrap in Chicago’s City
Council.
A Chicago special says: Such scenes
were never before enacted in the cham¬
ber of the city council or the city of
Chicago as transpired Saturday. Be¬
fore the crepe-draped speaker’s deBk
stood two aldermen, opponents politi¬
cally in the council, each declaring
himself the chairman of the body. A
reading clerk, an officer of the coun¬
cil, in order to protect one of these
speakers in his alleged right to rule
over the body, leaped upon the back
of the opposing speaker and tried to
eject him from the stand. A clerk of
the body tore up a resolution regular¬
ly introduced, because it was not in
line with what his party desired. Over
the crepe-draped rail of the speaker’s
stand leaped nnother alderman upon
the back of the clerk. To his aid
flocked his colleagues. Upon him
jumped an alderman of the opposing
faction, throwing off his coat as he
ran and clutching at the throat of the
man who by force was trying to get
before the council that which should
not legally have been tried.
Police officers rushed into the en¬
closure to separate the struggling al¬
dermen, and in the fight the crepe
which hung about the desk of the dead
mayor was torn down and trampled
under foot. The men who three days
ago spent money and labor to honor
Mayor Harrison, disgraced his memo¬
ry by a disreputable brawl over the
right to sit for twenty minutes in his
chair.
The council is almost evenly divided
politically, the republicans having a
s'ight majority, while the dead ex¬
mayor was a democrat.
The council chamber is guarded by
a squad of police officers and no man,
no matter what his politics or position
is allowed to enter.

Gold iu Alabama.
A Birmingham dispatch of Sunday
: In a ver J fl met a bl S B J n '
dicate has been formed and is now min-
in § gold at Arbocooche. near Heflin,
Ala., at a good profit, For years it
ba9 been known that gold existed m
considerable quantities in the neigh-
borhood erf Heflin In fact the very
vei & at Arbocooche was worked thirty
je^s ago at a profit. At one time the
United States mint depended to some
e tent on its shipments from this mine.
v^ver $8,000,000 in gold has been
minted ia th e past from these mines.
How We Advance.
In the last forty years the average
of human life has increased from twen¬
ty-seven to thirty-four years. This is a
remarkable fact. Seven years added to
the average human life in forty ! It
took over e gkteen hundred years to
increase the average of life eight years,
which shows how much more rapidly
we advance in these days. From the
days of Caesar to the present, fifteen
years have been added to the average
of life, seven of which of this desirable
addition are to be accounted to the
advancement made in sanitary science
during the last forty years. We live
in better houses; we wear better
clothes; we care more rationally for
our children and we are not so enslaved
by suiDerstitious fear.
This lengthening of life has been
made in spite of the many bad habits
yet indulged in by the people. The
use of intoxicants and tobacco, late
hours, dress yet inadequate, the hurry
and worry of the age, still tend to
shorten our daj"s of life upon the
earth. If those causes could be re¬
moved, another fifteen years could be
added to the length of life. Men and
women should live to be one hundred
years old, and there should be notable
exceptions to the rule who would live
to be one hundred and twenty-five or
thirty. The average animal or bird
lives, on an average, five times as long
as it takes them to mature physically.
Some live much longer than this pro¬
portion. Man should do at least as
well as the animals, and with his abili¬
ty to care for himself he should sur¬
pass the animals. We need a more
rational mode of life. We believe we
are gradually learning it.— Exchange.
Fish on Ice.
It is the suggestion of a writer
on hygiene in the larder that it is not
a good plan to put fish in direct con¬
tact with ice. An examination into sev¬
eral cases of illness resulting from eat¬
ing fish that possessed some poisonous
quality has led to the conclusion that
it was obtained in this way, the w r ater
“having impurities before freezing,
promoting a formation of alkaloids
known as fish poison. ” As any known
source of possible danger is one more
ally in the housekeeper’s fight for
the health of her family, it will be
fvell to pass this bit of information on
to one’s fish dealer as w ell as to see that
the cook in one’s kitchen wraps a tov’-
el or piece of cheesecloth about the
fish before she puts it away.

A New Orleans dispatch of Monday
says: There is a newspaper war on

Picayune and the Times-Democrat,
which has developed some very bitter
feeling and several fist fights, and the
result is that two policemen are sta¬

which adjoin each other, to prevent
further hostilities.
The Paris Journal of Monday ex¬
presses the belief that the representa¬
tive of the French physicians sent to
Bournemouth, England, to examine
Dr. Carl Hertz, the Panama canal lob¬

case of which it had jurisdiction, and
that the petition for a writ of manda¬
mus must, therefore, be denied.

Cream of Tartar am Soda
Have uses in cooking well known to every housekeeper ; but
the method of refining them to make them chemically pure,
and of mixing them together so as to produce their greatest

great exactness, requiring the most expert knowledge and skill.
Royal Baking: Powder
Is the product of this knowledge and experience and the
expenditure of many thousands of dollars in patents and
appliances for its preparation. It is a compound of strictly pure
grape cream of tartar and absolutely pure soda, combined with
exactness and care by famous chemists, and it will produce more
wholesome and delicate bread, biscuit, cake, rolls, etc., than can
be had where this modern agent of cooking is not used.
Beware of the cheap compounds called baking powders to
catch the unwary. They are made with alum and are poisonous.
Cheap Toys Are Best.
Who of ns that remembers how the
battered old every-day doll held that
first place in our heart which the best
doll, proudly produced on company
occasions, held in onr vanity, but will
recognise the deep intuition of M. de
Gourmond’s assertion that the ele¬
gantly dressed doll, in all the pomp
and circumstance of the shop, is once
and forever only a fine lady or a pens-
ant, a bride or a baby, while the
day doll is “all that and all the rest,”
“according to the divine inspiration
given to the little child, which
presses for her pleasure time and
space, retaining only the idea, all
powerful in the art of metamorphoses?”
To conjecture how much of nursery
naughtiness is due to the misapplied
indulgence of parents in the matter of
costly and valueless toys would carry
us too far. But surely M. de Gour-
mond is right in asserting that it is
not without reason that children rebel
against that “prison of the fact” to
which, with their dolls and talk of
steam engines that puff 1 , parents try to
condemn them in their plays as in
their duties. And looking into the
ways of French children -we have a
right to conclude that it is because the
door to the ideal is still left wide open
for them in their plays that they rebel
so little against that prison of the fact
which is more straitly around them in
matters of duty and discipline than is
the case with our own children.— Har¬

Dress Waist Holders*
An ordinary barrel hoop will make
four holders for dress waists by cut¬
ting it into as many pieces and cover¬
ing each piece with strips of silesia,
with a long loop to hang each
holder up by. Dress waists keep their
shape better when hnng up in this way
than when susjtended by the loops
usually sewed in the armholes for the
2 >urpose.

Don’t Tease Children*
The positive delight which some
otherwise very good people take in
teasing children is surprising, “I
would sooner discharge a nurse for this
fault than for any other, said a wise
mother, “and when I find a friend who
thinks it is an amusing matter to tease
my child I reprove him as readily as I
would a child for the same offense. I
have known dispositions to be utterly
ruined through this silly practice;”
Beal and Imitation Lace.
A clear point for woman not versed
in discriminating imitation from real
lace, and the inability is by no means
so reprehensible at it once was, is to
bear in mind that the meshes of real
lace are never so regular as those in
the machine woven. All real lace is
hand made, and it follows that it is im-
possible to have it so perfect as that
spun by machinery .—Chicago 1'ost.
“August Flower”
“What is August Flower for?”
As easily answered as asked. It is
for Dyspepsia. It is a special rem*

Nothing more than this. We believe
August Flower cures Dyspepsia.
We know it will. We have reasons
for knowing it. To-day it has an
honored place in every town and
country store, possesses one of the
largest manufacturing plants in the
country, and sells everywhere. The
reason is simple. It does one thing,
and does it right. It cures dyspepsia®
