While rccviitly on n tour nmong tha
missions of tho Chinese l'iiitir', Mr.
r.iiriiix-OouM, the English writer, was
impressed" ly "tho great infliienco of
Biission work, tho heroinu of tho wo

converts."
The grout exposition to lo hoM in
T'nriH in I'.nti) is to lie much liko the
two which Lave preeeiieil it; but o
new nuil special fenturo will lie milled.
It in intended to make it n sort ol
mirror of the century of which it will
murk tho close.
Tho Hiddeford (Mo.) School Nonr.l
proposes to build ru ndditiou to the
school building in tho town, mid the
citizoiiR have miKgcfited that tho nd
ditiou tukn tho form of n high hoard
fence, built in front of tho lmiMiuo-,
in order to "hide the nrchitecturitl
Luuiihtrof ity from tho public gaze."
A wit istieul bnlletm just ismicd by
the United States Treasury Depart
ment t-howt that in ten years there has.
been iin lucreubo of I,2j7,5." Ameri
can women "ciign;od in gainful occti
pntioiiH,'' while tho iucrea(o of tho
number "employed in trade and tran
portation" reaches tho surprising
figures of 2olJ per cent.
There aro indications of a turning
of tho tide of tho immigration from
the W'vnt to tho Houth, notes tho Xew
York Sun. Several parties of farmer
from VTeHtcrn States, nnd from Cauu
da, have lately boon touring through
Virginia, Georgia and other Southern
States prospecting for homes for them
selves nnd for others in tho regions
from which they came.
Ono way, suggested by tho San
Francisco Chronicle, to prevent great
fortunes from remaining in a family
through generations is to havo tho
rill contested. In the Morrison cue
in Indiana, in which ex-Piesident
Harrison was retaiuod,"tno""lawyers''
fees amounted to nearly 837,000, or
about one-sixth of the estate. In ad
dition to this, tho other costs of tho
tmit will bo large.
llio do Janeiro, the capital of Drnzil,
has n notoriously bad climate, and tho
Government has resolved to chnuge
tho tiito of tho capital. A scioutitlo
:ommieHion has been appointed to so
lect a littler place, llio commission
buve selected a plateau which tdiould
be a real land of protuiso to tho trans
migrants from tho coast. It is over
1000 feet above tho level of tho sea
ud its temperature resembles that of
middle of France. There is plenty of
water for agriculture and no yellow
(ever. Tho journey by railway from
the const is a matter of sumo eighteen
hours.
The Chicago Times-Herald remarks :
"Modern invention is botiiid to get
rid of the horse, nnd the services of
that noble animal aro now being dis
pensed with in numberless ways.
Steam nud electricity havo ruthlessly
shouldered him aside, and tho bicycle
threatens him in one of his most de
lightful use-. As a culmination to
these comes tho "horseless carriage,"
which has just shown itself to bo a
most pronounced success in France.
Vehicles of that kind made a compet
ing race between liordcaux and Paris)
the other day, a listanco of 73(5 miles,
uud the time was an average of lifteeu
miles uu hour. Tho days of tho horso
nro numbered."
Tlte agricultural experimental sta
tions of I'urduo Uuiversity, Indiana,
have been carrying ou it series of ex
periments in tho culture of small fruits
und other minor crops. A bulletin hat
recently beeu issued in response to
hundreds of inquiries from fanners
nnd others interested. The report
deals with experiments with maize
nnd oats and tho cultivation of the
sugar beet. The points which are re
ported upon include comparison ol
varieties, time of harvest, the respec
tive effects of bacterial disease nnd
beet scab ou the sugar contents ol
beets, tho effect of loosouiug beett
sometime before lifting thorn from the
ground, special thinning, tests of for
eign and American seed, and yield auO
cost of crop per acre. The work it
thought to bo significant of a tendency
in all such stations to replaoo th(
technical scientific investigations with
work of practical value.

Purlng the week Just cndoJ tbo general
Industrial activity tins contiuued, reports to
tlmt effect coming from all quarters. Num
erous manufacturing concern that hare been
closed during the business depres.-iou have
again resumed operntlons.re-employlng hun
dreds of workmen. A gratifying 'nature of
the week's new Is the Inrge number of In
Manors where the wages of employes have
been Increased: In most of those reported the
Increase bus been voluntary on the part of
the employers, and In many In maklug the
announcement tho llrms have stated their
reason for so doing, and It has been Iden
tical In every case "improvement In busi
ness."
Capitalist engaged In the Iron Industry,
which I generally recognized as furnishing
a reliable tcauge of buslues in general, and
Is second lu Importance only to agriculture,
seems to have no doubt that good times are
here nnd that belter times are oomlng. Ibe
manufacturers of steel rails, steel plates nnd
otbi-r structural forms tor railroad and
buildings are putting on increased forces oi
workmeu, and running to their full capacity.
Ho In all lines of manufacture and trade
there Is Increasing and beulthful activity.

From the returns mnde, it Is believed that
fully one-halt of the number of persons sub

this proportion Is believed to bo even greater
In respect of the amounts o( tho tax Involved.
The aggregate of the return made rep:e nt
about 15.000,00) of tax, and hence about

collected If all who were subject to the tax
had cent In return.

MIDSUMMER DULLNESS
Welootned After a Ruaklns; Season as
Amply Proving; That.
It. G. l)nn & Co'i weekly review say: The
week's news Is not entirely encouraging, but
Is alt tbs more natural decatisetheresreslgns
of midsummer dullness. Wheat prospect
are not quite so good as last woek, but still
there ate lower prices, as corn and cotton
have been lowered. Tbe exports of gold and
the less favorsble Treasury return tor July
ere not unexpected and mean notniag as to
coining busiues.
There Is a rceptible decrease in the do
maud for most manufactured products, and
the actual distribution to consumers nutur-
lly lessens iu mid-summer. Much ot uit
receut buying was to anticipate a rise m
prices, aud such purchases fall off whi-n
price have risen, t here are still numerous
advances In wages, but strikes grow inors
numerous and Importuut.
In part, because business was una -unlly
large In tbe first half ot July, a quiet tons
meets reasonable expectations. The heavy
bank failure at Montteal does not affect Nuan
ces here aud Is passing there with less ill,
turbanco than was feared. Gold exports (or
the middle ef July, when crops are bgU.
ning to move, If not inennt to affect stocks,
can at all events have ouly a speculative lu!
Quence.
Wbeat has declined 2o for September, i-ora

Orders buve so accumulated In Iron pro
ducts tbnt some works forego tbe nsual sum
mer rest, and Eastern furnace soon to begln
blast will add about 6,000 tons weekly to
tbe production. A few quotations have t.
vanced gray forge and Eastern bar while
Bessemer pig Is a shade weaker at 1'ittstiurg:
but the averages of all prices Is 1 per c-ut
higher for the woek and KH.3 per cent higher
than February 1.
The strike of several thousand miners la
the Marquette region may have importntit
consequences. Froducers of non-ll 5vi;.r
ore buve sold largely for the future ut prl :m
so low thai they cnuuot add to the ci : ul
production, nnd other mines tn the northwest
may be affected.
Minor metals are stronger, with sal't c

not support Ibe advance and are buying n j
