BRADSTREET'S REPORT. The General Trade - I Confined to Staple Line. New York, Aug. 94. Bradatreet'f weekly trade review says: General trade throughout the United States is practically confined to staple lines. The volume of business is no larger. Where orders have increased in number, they are smaller in size. In most instances they are based on near by requirements. The feature of the week is the increased diffloulty in mak ing collections and the higher rates for mercantile discounts. Credits are be ing soanned more 'closely than hereto fore, and are granted less freely. Bus iness in South Carolina is retarded by drouth, and in Northern Louisiana, Texas, Southern Arkansas and Missis sippi prolonged drought has so inter fered with business in some sections that it amounts to a calamity. Some Northwestern lumber mills shut down owing to low prices and difficulty in obtaining money, while the demand for woolens for spring delivery is not yet sufficient to start machinery going. Wheat exports continue well, total shipments from both coasts of the United States and from Montreal this week (flour inoluded as wheat) amount ing to 2.991,693 bushels, against 2, 635,000 bushels last week, and as com pared with 2,889,000 bushels in the week a year ago, and with 3,182,000 two years ago. The total business failures in the United States is 244 this week, six more than last week, seventy-two more than in the week a year ago, and thir teen more than the third week . of Au gust, 1894, the period of extreme de pression after the panio of 1893. MODIFIED THE ORDER. Railroads May Carry Certain Letters ' Without Postage. Washington, Aug. 24. Acting Postmaster-General Neilson today modified the recent order of the postmaster-general prohibiting railroads from carry ing, without payment of postage, mail relating to railroad business. The modified order was issued to meet the views expressed in an opinion by Attorney-General Harmon, to whom the matter had been referred at the request of the railway companies. The attorney-general held first, that a railorad oompany has the right to carry letters without payment of post age, that are written and sent by the officers and agents of the railorad com pany which carries and delivers them, concerning its business, and these only. They may be letters to its other offioers and agents, to those of connecting lines, or to any one else, so long as no other carrier intervenes. The moment this occurs, such other carrier is tran sporting letters for a third party, which is contartry to law. Lettetra of a com pany addressed to officers or agents of a connecting line on company business and delivered to an agent of the latter at the point of connection may be car ried by the latter to any point on the line, because, such letters oomes within the prinoiple already expressed. But any company or officer or employe thereof carrying letters which ' are neither written by that company nor addressed to it, is liable to the penal ties imposed by law. This is the rule, though the intervening carrier may have an ultimate interest in the sub ject of the correspondence. AN , INFANT MONSTROSITY. An Elgnt-Monthe-Old Hale Child Diet St Louis, Aug 24. Sherman Robert Burch died of senile debility at the age of 8 months. The child was born last December, and on Monday died of old age. He had passed through all the intellectual phases that are com mon to mankind, but so rapidly that he bad not time , nor opportunity to gather the knowledge that oomes of ex perience and precept or the wisdom born of thought. His brain developed and then withered with a rapidity comparable only to the growth and decay of Jonah's gourd. The face and head of the ohild made a striking feature.. The head was wedge-shaped, broad at the top and tapeiing to a point at the chin. It was 'surmounted by a crop of dark brown bair, rather soant, but strong and of full size. It was not such hair as grows on the head of an 8-months old baby.' It was strong and coarse as -that of a man of mature, age. - On the upper lip was a slight mustache, plain ly outlined, while all over the face a straggling beard was discernible. "The baby was unusually bright," said the father ' "He began to notice almost as soon as he was born, and by . the time he was a week old he seemed to kno w as much as his older brother, who was a year old. He did not try to talk, but would look at you as though be knew "what yon " were thinking about. . He never did look like a ohild, nor aot like one. He was a litlte old man." - - An Ignoble Bed Han. Olympia, Wash., Aug. 20. Jimmy Sam, a well-known Indian about town, some time during last night stabbed another Indian, named Jack son, from Lewis county, five times in different parts of the body. Jimmy was lodged in jail and Jackson is still alive.. . Why They Are Fighting. Madrid, Aug. 24. Senor Ssgasta, ex-prime minister of Spain, in an in terview, said it was proposed to send a dispatch ' containing a memorandum upon the Cuban war to the United States government. ' Senor Sagasta said it was necessary to continue the war in Cuba in order to prove that Spain is not afraid of threats of a con flict with a greater nation. The grandfather of the Rothschilds is said to have been a poor man in 1800. Troops for Cuba. Madrid, Aug. 20. The first em barkation of 14,000 troops for Cuba will commence at Santander on August 23, terminating on August 26. The seoond will take place from August 30 till September 6, after which date the cavalry will embark. By September 11 the whole expedition of 40,000 will have left the peninsula. The Atlas-moth, a gigantic furooated night-flying insect of Central Brazil, is said to be one of the very largest winged "bug" in the world. He measures 11 nohei from tip to tip. RELICS OF THE PAST. Interesting ' Discoveries by Pennsyl vania Mound Kzeavators. Pittsburg, Aug. 24. Great interest is manifested over the discovery of im plements in a mound at MoKee rooks, which is being excavated for scientific purposes. " The mound is belived to have been built by the ancient mound builders, and the implements found today place the mound on a par with those ' that have been explored . else where. The work is being done under the direction of Thomas Harper, of this oity, who believes that the specimens found here are not less than 1,000 years old, and proves that they were made by the most anoient people that in habited this country. The list includes a bone implement whioh Mr. Harper belives was a flaker, the pieces of whioh are separated in five or six parts. . Bone needles or awls also were found, and Mr. Harper says they can be partially restored. A tomahawk, whiob Mr. Harper re gards as being not less than 1,000 years old, was found. The same kind of weapons are also found on the British isles. It is made of gneiss. He con siders this an axtraordinary discovery. The bone implement, or flaker is the implement whioh the anoients used in making flint instruments. The speci mens will be placed in the Carnegie museum. . ' . Since this mound was opened, a month ago, sixteen skeletons have been found, many of them of gigantic stature. CALIFORNIA MINES. Transvaal Operators Looking Toward That State. San Franoisoo,' Aug. 24. If present indications can be relied upon, the re cent political troubles in the Trans vaal, South Africa, are likely to have a beneficial effect on the mining in dustry in California. As is probably well known, there has been an exodus of mining enigneers from the Transvaal during the past few months. Ham mond, Perkins and many other mining experts who have had a hand in .the direction of vast mining enterprises in the Johannesburg distriot, have retired from the scene of the recent disturb ances for prudential reasons, and are now in London. " Many of these gentle men still retain their South African connections, but, instead of devoting their attention to Afrioan mining affairs, they are looking for good in vestments in other mining seotions of the world on behalf of the companies and corporations they represent. Cali fornia is attracting not a small share of their attention, and, from what can be learned from mining engineers now here, there is a disposition on the part of moneyed kings of the Transvaal to invest heavily in mining properties in this state. TO SHOW AMERICAN GOODS Southern Republics Do the Bight Thing Manufacturers. Washington, Aug. 24. The presi dent of Argentina has issued a decree, a oopy of which has been forwarded to tbe state department, remitting . all duties on articles sent from the United States for the purpose of show ing the manufacturing and commercial industries of this country. The move ment for these exhibitions originated in Philadelphia. The Venezuela gov ernment has granted a concession to an Amerioan to establish permanent exhi bitions of American goods at Caracas, Maraoaibo and other large cities of Venezuela. A new phase of the long oontest be tween Chile, Bolivia and Peru is reached by which Bolivia is promised a ooast line on tbe Pacific. More than a year ago the treaty was made by giv ing Tacna and Arioa to Chile, thus leaving Bolivia out off from access to the ocean and one of the few countries situated like Switzerland, entirely without a coast line. Since that time, the countries have been negotiating and it is said a treaty by whiob Bolivia gets back a strip through Tacna and Arioa sufficient to give her an outlet to the Pacific. A Bicycle Combination. New York, Aug. 24. Ihe World will publish the following: The big manufacturers of bioyles have formed an association to promote sociability and good understanding among its members, it is stated. The associa tions' members represent $28,000,000 invested in rubber and bioyole plants. It was formed at a recent meeting held at . the old Manhattan Athletic Club house. It will hold another meeting, which will take the form of a banquet, in September. There will be semi annual meetings, or banquets, after that. ' The members will, according to .their own statements, arrive at "tacit understanding!" Manitoba School Question Settled. - Ottawa, Aug. 21. It has been as certained on good authority that the Manitoba school question is as good as settled, and there will not be any ne cessity for remedial legislation. This decision has been arrived at after num erous interviews between members of the provincial government of Manitoba and the Dominion government. Franklin was widely known as a writer on eoonomy and political sub jects before he had reached 25. Concerted Action Not Justified. New York, Aug. 24. A conference of bankers, headed by J. Edward Sim mons and Frederick D. Tappen, to fa cilitate gold importations, was con cluded today. The statement was made that the financial situation did not justify concerted aotion by the banks at present. When a man who makes f 70 a month quits spending f 80 tbe financial quesion will solve itself. Children Derail a Train. Canton, O., Aug. 24. A thorough investigation was made this afternoon into the derailing of engine 49, whioh was hauling a work train last night, near Carrollton, the locomotive rolling down an embankment and killing En gineer Joseph Kirk and Fireman John Hardesty, of this city. The investiga tion shows the accident to have been caused by children having plaoed three spikes on the outside rail of the curve, where the derailment occurred. Twen ty men in the caboose escaped death because the caboose caught la the branohes of a big tree. AGltf CULTURAL NEWS THINGS PERTAINING TO FARM AND HOME. THE A Good Dairy Cow Will Tleld Nearly 5,000 Ponnda of Milk Annually Threshing Damp Grain Have a Boom for Harness Farm Notes. Average Milk Tleld. An Agricultural Department bulletin says: A very good annual average yield of milk is 5,000 pounds Instead of 3,000. and 2Q0 to 235 pounds of butter per cow Instead of 125 pounds. Man j herds kept in a plain, practical farm fashion attain still better results. There are manifestly many cows. In the country, ' probably some millions, that do not produce the value of their ennual cost, however cheap and waste fully poor their keeping may be. It Is apparent that if but two cows were kept, of the suggested standard of pro duction. In place of every three of the existing average quality, the aggregate products of the dairy Industry of tho country would be Increased more than 30 per cent, while the aggregate cot to their owners ought to be less and probably would be. Every possible Influence should be ex erted to Induce dairy farmers to weed out their herds and keep fewer cows and better ones. At least the average quality of cows kept for dairy pur poses should be brought up to a re spectable and profitable standard, iror the present the cow owner may reason ably reanire something over two gal lons of milk per day for four months. then two gallons a day for the next four, and at least two months more lu milk during the year with constantly decreasing yield. This provides for an annual yield of 5,000 pounds of milk, or about 575 gallons, which is a fair ideal standard for the dairy eow in the United States. Threshing; Damp Grain. It is quite likely that much grain will be threshed while damp this year, as wet weather in harvest time caused it to be got in before fully dry. In most cases the grain will take less harm in the bundle than out of It. So long as grain was threshed by hand there was no danger of the work being done while either straw or grain were damp. It made the work too hard, and the threshing was always reserved for cold weather, after frost had thoroughly dried on both straw and grain. When horse-power threshing machines came into use there was nearly as much care in having the grain in good condition for threshing. We have seen the thresher stalled when the grain came too fast or too damp. " In the large steam threshers the bundles go through all right, but if damp more or less of the grain goes Into the stack. The evil of threshing damp grain Is not confined to the loss by waste. What is put in the granary is much more likely to heat and become musty than it Is if the grain has been thoroughly dried in the straw. American Cultivator. A Special Room for Harness). A great many farmers continue the practice of banging up tbe harness on the pegs behind the horses, where it is exposed to the odors which come from their excrement, and it Is quite often knocked down and trampled in It This wears out a good harness much faster than will use. It will pay good Inter est on the cost to have a separate room in which to keep the harness. Nothing destroys leather more quickly than dirt and the ammonia which is always found in stables. The harness should be frequently spunged to remove the dirt, and then be oiled, allowing the oil to soak in, and then lightly rubbed with a dry cloth. Kept thus, instead of becoming rotten after one or two years, a Harness may . be kept in good condi tion for from ten to twenty years. We know farmers who have kept harness for this longer time, while other farm ers, who did no more work with their horses, had to buy a new harness every two or three years. Ontario Family Herald. " Guinea Hen a. The reason so many people fall in rearing guinea fowls is because they insist on keeping the hen under a coop. Guinea chickens are peculiarly depend ent on natural food, and they cannot get enough of this unless the old bird runs with them. The first week they should not be let out longer than an hour at a time, and then shut them np in a ehed for an hour and a half; then out again, and no on. Feed every two hours In addition; and as they get older increase tbe time they are out until they need only to be put In if any of them look at all tired. Give a little meat chopped veryj fine and mixed with meal or mashed potatoes twice a day, and oat meal made Into a dry paste for the other meals until they can pick. But they are very difficult to rear if the hen is not left free, for plenty of bisects Is the great thing. The Difference. -There are hundreds of farmers who are skeptical of the merits of pure-bred swine. With them a hog is a hog, and they Insist that with plenty of food and under like conditions one will gain as much weight as the other and make as much profit. A' careful trial will prove the contrary. Any one breeding a scrub sow to a thoroughbred male will readily see that pigs from such sows are far more attractive and will fatten more readily, and even the first cross will mature earlier . than do scrubs. A well-bred hog will make more meat In less time, and therefore with less feed. However, the farmer who breeds the Improved hog with the expectation that he will make a large bog without attention will be disap pointed, for good care and attention are essential to success. With good feed and treatment the thoroughbred can be made fit for market in from eight to ten months, while the scrub will require from fifteen to eighteen months to make the same weight. We quote the above from the South ern Stock Farm and believe that a fair test will satisfactorily demonstrate tbf truthfulness of the assertions made. Feeding; Corn and Feets. Am extensive cattle-feeder of Ne braska, who feeds 1,900 acres of corn of his own raising and 100 tons of beets a year, has kept careful accounts of his operations for the last ten years. From that record the following tacts are given: For the first nine years the cost per head ranged from $14 to $32.39, but in 1893 he began feeding beets and corn, which had been cut and cured in the sbock and then run through a shred ding machine, ear, stalk, and blade, all of which Is by tbe machine reduced to the condition of coarse, hay. The cost of harvesting, shocking, shredding and feeding is three cents per bushel of grain and $1.87 per ton of fodder. The 1,900 acres averaged 40 bussels of corn and a ton and a half of fodder per acre. The beets (sugar beets) yield-, ed 30 to 50 tons per acre, counting tops and all, and were fed whole. Both cat tle and hogs are fond of them, and It was found that after cutting them tbe first few days cattle learn to bite them off as a boy bites an apple. Since adopt ing this ration tbe cost of fattening cat tle has never exceeded $10 per head. No cholera has ever occurred among bogs following the cattle while feeding beets. It Is estimated that beet-tops from beets used In sugar-making are worth on an average $3 per acre for cattle food. Wisconsin Agriculturist Burning Potato Vines. Wherever rot or blight has prevailed In potatoes no time should be lost after tbe potatoes are dug In burning tbe tops. This will prevent the spread of the fungus, with which the tops will always be fount! filled where disease prevails. It Is a good plan to burn tbe potato tops any way. About all the manurlal value they contain is their potash, and this-is all saved In their asb. The old-time plan of using the vines to plow under as manure, or, worse still, taking them to the barn yard and composting with manure, Is known now to be often a means of keeping the germs alive. In the manure heap especially the potato rot finds a good field for propagating. For this reason the feeding of diseased potatoes to stock In winter should never be practiced. The worst parts of the po tato will be rejected, and these will go into the manure pile to make trouble next year. . Pmall Versus Jjorsre Celery. It is quality In celery rather than quantity that counts. There was for a time a desire to get the largest varie ties, but it was soon found that these were generally coarse and lacking the fine nutty flavor of the medium-sized sorts. Much depends on how the celery Is grown. A quick growth means bet ter quality than where the growth is made slowly. Hence the necessity for heavy manuring with finely rotted ma nure. This, however, is very drying to the soil, and many market garden ers rely largely on commercial nitrates to make the rapid growth of vegetables that they desire. ' Canaia Thistles Without Seed. It is often the fact that thistles which grow very rank on rich ground are destitute of seed. Nature finds so little obstacle to the spread of the weed by Its underground roots ,that she ne glects to provide the female flowers which furnish the seed. These ore known by their white color, while the blossoms that will bear seed are a light red. The Infertile plants also grow much more luxuriantly than , those which bear seed. On the rich prarie soil of the West, the Canada thistle is often destitute of seed, and some West ern writers have therefore said that the plant never bears seed. The Hands of Milkmen. It requires goot" muscles in the hands to milk eight or ten or more cows in succession. As a result a milkman will endure a good deal of handshaking without having the muscles of his bands made sore by the operation, as are the bands of tbe lawyers and pro fessional men who secure Presidential nominations. We bad a friend once who said he could select tbe milkmen in any crowd of men by tbe firmness of their grip. It is as distinct, he said, as that of any seeret society, though of course in a very different way. The Orchard. Apples and oranges must bave water and plenty of it. - Apple trees that have not been spray ed may produce large crops, but are not likely to do so. Those who have never fertilized their orchards or gardens should try it this year and note the results. Seaweed Is a good fertilizer for most all fruit trees, and it may be obtained by the ton for tbe mere cost of hauling, in several of the southern counties. : Tbe Ben Davis apple, one of the uni versal favorites, originated in Tennes see, and were introduced by Captain Ben Davis of Logan (now Butler) Coun ty lh 1799. The grafts, however, came from Virginia, and the apples were- at first called the Virginia Pippin. ;, Apple trees need to be fed. They will often exist if utterly neglected, but they respond quickly to a proper sys tem of fertilization. A liberal topdress ing of farmyard manure is good. In the absence of this a liberal dressing of wood ashes will help. Seaweed is also a good fertilizer for apple trees. Notes from the Garden. Whether you think it's bugs or not give your potatoes a dose of bordeaux. There are 338 distinct varieties of raspberries growing in . the United States, besides a number of new varie ties now on trial which bave not been named. The Wisconsin station recommends the following named varieties of straw berries: Warfleld No. 2, Enhance, Be der Wood, Parker Earle, Boynton, Yale, Park Beauty, Haverland, Lovett's Ear ly and Barton's Eclipse. The Rhode Island station finds that equal parts of quicklime and sulphate of copper, with four to eight gallons of water for each pound of the sulphate of copper, make a good bordeaux mix ture for use In the potato patch. Tho importation into the United States of plants from China and Japan Is forbidden on account of the preva lence of cholera in the Asiatic coun- ' tries. Nothing holds the germs of dis ease so well as the soli in which the plan U are shipped. The Connecticut Experimental Sta tion, calling the yield of potatoes on a plat that was not fertilized 100, found that the relative yield when lime was used was 137; nitrate and acid phos- 1 phate, 102; nitrate, acid and sulphate of I potash, 268. while a "home mixture" ! gave 821. 51.AVERY IN ALASKA. v Indiana who Own Other Iadians as . Chattels, ; The other day a gentleman pointed out two Indians passing on the street and remarked: 'There goes a slave." I had heard the statement made that slavery yet exists among the Alaska Indians, but It was a surprise to be con fronted with an actual remnant of the institution almost within the shadow of a federal court house. Of the two Indians, the slave and his master, to whom my attention was directed, the slave was rather the better dressed, and be was also the more intelligent looking. Since then I have observed the pair several times; generally work-, ing together on some transient job, like sawing wood, apparently on an even footing, although the master seems to do more sitting around. I would judge from appearances that the slave is the better contented ot the pair, for the other seems careworn with the respon sibility of keeping him at work. Tbe custom of holding slaves, up to a few years, ago, was very common among all the tribes. Children stolen from one tribe by members of another, and captives taken In battle and their descendants, were held iu bondage. Some of tbe wealthier chiefs reclined In oriental style as far as compatible with tbe fur and fish business and had scores of slaves to do their bidding. Of course, the government has in terfered as far as practicable, to put a stop to the custom. A few years ago the captain of the Wachuset, acting un der instructions from tbe government, assembled all the coast tribes within reach and announced, through inter preters, that tbey must give up their slaves, and offered to the latter full protection. Many of the chiefs com plied with the order, but there are still many others who, by threats and ."ghost stories," are able to control their slaves. The Alaska Indians will un flinchingly face many dangers, espe cially those of the sea, but they are particularly afraid of being killed that is, by their fellow man and the chiefs take advantage of this trait to breed and train Into their slaves the Idea that other Indians, and even whites, will kill them if they attempt to run away. This idea, together with the fact that tbe slaves are generally kept as much as possible from contact with the whites, has served to perpetuate the custom, aud there is still an aggregate of several hundred 'Indians held ' in bondage. The Indians are not especially cruel masters. The condition of slavery seems to rest lightly on its subjects. The natives are kindllei natured than are those farther south, and Father Bar num, whom I have mentioned above, tells me that the farther north one goes the better natured he finds them. He says that In all of the five years that be has been among the Innuits of the Yukon delta, he has never seen a fight or violent disagreement among the native people. He thinks that the climate has something to do with it, and it may be true, but it would hard ly fair to draw the correlative Inference that the best people of the highest cul ture will some time be found in the vi cinity of the north pole. Sitka Letter In' the Chicago Record. Was a Poor Joke.
