N w Yoik Sent, 8.-R O Dunn – ‘Vs imcK'V review of trade will say: improvement has extended from the Kinks bo the mills. The oonditmi of great linhistiies has distinctly mended, though st II seriously depressed. More important hv far than any rise in stocks is the fact tlial more works have resumed during tiis pi-c week than have stopped opera j, ,,ii. soiledthe producing forces of the countr- - after months of decline, have begun to increase, l)i-p itches mention twenty eight tex tile an<l thirty metal works which have lesttmed, nine with only partial forces while twenty five lexrile and nine iron works have stopped, it is expected that nio st of the Fall Diver mil s will siari st ion he hands assenting to less wages The money mark ts ire mire healthy, the premium on corrancy lias almost v.tiuslied, th** em >;trr;t :siuents in domes' tic exchanges h tve wdl nigh disappear ed, and while very little money is yet a v.ulahle for comiu-rei I or ind.ist.ial loans, there is so n * relief in that respect also. It was time t.n- sooi* impnvement On September 1st. tne output v»f iron furnaces in blast w is only 85,513 tons weekly against 107,041 on Aag. 1st. and 181.551 on May 1st,so that much less than half the producing forces waseugag ed, and yet manufacture was so stag— nanr that unsold stocks of pig increased 22.000 tons a week.in August. It is stated that further reductions in the output nave been made since September began. The Thomas iron company has reduced its price for pig irou f>0 cents hut some oth er concerns are selling standard No. 1 as low as .$14 per ton. Soft steel lias reach_ tfi the lowest point on record $29 pits, burg, ami. substantially, ah rail mills are idle, but there is a somewhat better demand for hardware, wire rods, barbed wire and contracts for agricultural work end agricultural impliments and plies reported at Chicago. tn «otton mills resumption of work is quite general tlie paper business is doing l<ett» r, the Troy paper and the Illinois g ass works are starting and the saint* is true oi several rime factories, whbe the money markets have been greatly improv ed they are vet far from the normal con dition and the crops arc in doubt. Tin* monetary situation has changed but lit tie. for there has been abundance of money and confidence in emp oving i 4 ts lacking. The failures for the week have been only 323 in number against 385 last week and 430 for the proceeding, and 25 in Canada against 33 for the Same week last year. While one large company swells the aggregate of liabib uies for the week, the average of other failures was lower than usual 202 being far less than 5,000 each and 4 for over 100 , 000 . we are glad to learn that the teachers last week passed resolutions requesting Mr. Bradwell to perpetuate the Teachers institute in this county. The pleasant si-ssion conducted here, removed all oppo rition if any existed. Resolutions of thanks were extended by the white and colored teachers to Dr. smith Comiuis— f-ioner Brad well and Prof. Lane for their faithful efforts to make the meeting pleasant and profitable, coin's. Bradwell rave some interesting statistics about the school fund for 1H»3. $1,063,657,81 has lieen appropriated. Expenses de— ducted for the department of education $5,125,29. Amount apportioned $1,058,532 • f) 2. No of children in Gu. 604.791. The poll tux which go s to the school fund is Pot included in the above statement. The Home Rule bill met with over "helming defeat in the hous • of Lord’s Inday.

OC If I were a girl, but with the knowl— edge of life that coiues with maturer years to warn and guide me. there are some things frequently done by Well in tentioneu girls in tliis year of grace 1893 that I would leave undone, and some other tilings frequently neglected by them tha f 1 wouid strive to learn how to do. If I were a girl, I would ett.rmined to have, if possible, a sound, healthv body, I would not ruin my digestion by eating caramels, nor my nerves bv keeping lute hours.nor my lungs by breathing bad air and wearing uncomfortable clothing, I wculd have m.v regular hours of eating and sleeping, not ire templed from them often* r than once or twice a year, i would h’ave my fixed ideas of what, wav sensible, economical and appropriate in dress, and never be tempted from them on a y occasion. It i were a girl, I would learn as ear ly as doss b,e tne boiuely duties which tome to the va-0 majority of worn *n stOoti' r ur laier. I would leant to nialo him mend niv own clor.ties, to svvaep ami dust and iron and Cook, and do all o. these things so easily and well that the doing could never be drudgery. If I were a girl, 1 would not make u coniidential friend of a new acquain— iauce. i would know just as many pleas ant people as it was possible for me know, but I Would try them for a long, long time b.*lore I began to share my in nermost thoughts and feelings with them. if I were a girl, I would try very hard to keep my ups clear oi smug, hot and stupid gossip, 1 would not seek reputation tor vivacity at the expensed candor and kindness. I would with ail iny migut to aay " hat i meam aim to mean what I said. If I were a girl, i would learn some thing about tbe events and prominent characters and questions ot' the day. 1 would learn to place the central figures ot Insiorv-to know whether Socmtes was a Greek or a Roman, and now and wuere Joan oi Arc achieved immortal ity. Iwould m>t go through life tortured by an ignorance winch may be remedied wherever the English language is kovvu and a public library is accessible. if 1 were a girl, I would not spend hours of eveiy week in reading light novels — even harmless ones — when tlie same time, wisely used, would give Ulw a hlelong ucquaiiitauce^witb Shake spear, Mi I to , Burns. Scot, lliackerj, Longfellow and still other-of the mas te rs oi J.teratun , If iwereagirl, 1 would be a Christian. and would not be usshamed to own that 1 bore that name. If I cou d not be a wise-mature and influential Christian. 1 would be content to be an ho.iest Chris tian girl, and wait for time and training to do the rest, I would let my position with regard to the dance, the theater and the card tuole be so clearly derined that I need not go through the agony of decission with every week tli.it I lived. A would not make myself ot'lensive by cam and *goodishness”, but I would try to have it understood which side J was on , Hud why i was there. To put it briefly, if I were a girl, anu it youth were to look forward as easily as later life can look backward, i would begin to be, in girlhood, what I shall ic old age wish I had become.
