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." - -

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.

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

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

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

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

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

"Well, what is it?"
"It's a man with one-half of his body

"And be Is not In a freak show?"
"Of course not; he's a neighbor of

"Does he attempt to explain bow be

"He never did to me."
"Will he see a reporter?"
"I suppose, so. Anyway, I can take

"Didn't see blm," answered the re
porter. "He wasn't at home, but would
be to-night at 7 o'clock. Here's a note
from your friend, though," and the re
porter delivered a missive. The city
editor read It and banged it down ou

very brief; it was as follows: "Sir, I
