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 j for improved, textile products has to some extent Failures for the week, 238 in the United States, against 238 last year, and twenty-eight in Banada, against thirty-one last year. Only five con- cerus failed with liabilities exceeding $100,000 each. The aggregated liabil- j ities for the week ending October 26th, was larger than of late, amount- ing So $7,400,000, against $5,800,000 for the week.

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.

The re- ceivers signed a written agreement to that effect. 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.

The brick court house at Brook- liaven, Miss., the scene last May of the white cap attack on the jail, in which Judge Clirisman figured as a hero, was burned Sunday night. All the records were destroyed. The court was to meet there Monday morning. This is the second courthouse burned there in the last ten years. A New Orleans dispatch of Monday says: There is a newspaper war on between the two morning papers, The 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¬ tioned in the vicinity of the offices, 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¬ byist, and to report upon his condi¬ tion, will hold that the prisoner is suf¬ fering from general debility and weak¬ ening of the mental faculties and from a grave and pronounced diabetic and cardiac disease. A London cablegram of Monday says: A public examination of the af¬ fairs of Hallett <fc Co., agents and bankers, shows liabilities amounting to $725,000. The duke of Edinburg, the duke of York, Prince Henry of Battenburg and most of the promi¬ nent naval officers are among the un¬ secured creditors. William Hallett attributes his failure to financiering the Dalwell News Agency to the ex¬ tent of over $200,000, A dispatch from Hanover, Germany, says that Lieutenant von Meyerick, who was most prominently connected with the gambling fraud trials, and who was recently convicted and sen¬ tenced to four years’ imprisonment, was found dead in his cell Monday, having committed suicide by hanging. Lieutenant von Meyerick was a distin¬ guished officer of the Lanweher cav¬ alry, and was decorated with the or¬ der of the Red Eagle. A Lexington, Ky., dispatch says: Longfellow, one of the distinguished blue grass equine kings, is dead. Mon¬ day morning the old horse, who has been a mere shell for several years, succumbed to the ravages of age. Longfellow was foaled in 1867 and w as twenty-six years old. As a racj horse, he had few equals. In the palmy days of the turf, his battle with Harry Basset and other shining equine stars of those days are still fresh in the minds of turfmen. A Birmingham, Ala., dispatch says: The two thousand miners at the Bloc- ton mines, of the Tennesse Coal, Iron and Railway Company, resumed work Monday after having been idle for a week or more. The company paid them their balance for August work and promised to pay them the Septem¬ ber and October ballances during the present month. The Gurnee and An¬ ita mines of the same company resum¬ ed work several days ago under the same conditions. The supreme court at Jackson, Miss., Monday, affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of L. Marks vs. Quitman county. Murks, who was a member of the board of supervisors, had been speculating in county variants, contrary to section 1239 of the annotated code, and was tried, convicted and sentenced by the circuit court to one hour in jail, to pay a fine of $50 and be dismissed from office by the lower court and appealed. He was formerly a member of the legislature. A Washington special of Monday says: Parsons and Niminger, respectively ex-district attorney and marshal for the northern district of Alabama, must find some other way in which to recov¬ er their offices than by writ of manda¬ mus from the supreme court to the judge of the district court of Alabama. Chief Justice Fuller in announcing the decision of the court, stated that the supreme court could not direct a lower court howto proceed in a special 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 leavening power and best results when combined, is a matter of 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¬ per'' s Bazar.
