The development of bromide en- ‘ largements and the use of large sized i plates render necessary dishes of a i size which are very expensive to pur- ' chase and often very unmanageable on account of their excessive weight, especially if they are of glass or por- celain. In consequences of the ex- pense home-made trays are often em- plcyed, but these are very likely to leak and then become very bother- some. Perhaps the most general ex- pedient is the lining of a wooden tray with oilcloth or sheet rubber, but such a tray usually has wrinkles and folds on the bottom, and hence is not par- ticularly economical of solutions, be- sides being very likely te leak. Sheet lead may be employed as a lining, but the trays then become very heavy, A process frequently advocated is the painting of the inside of a wooden tray with asphaltum to make it water- tight. In order to make this effec- tive, several thin coats must be given, with thorough drying between, and it . will then be found that he asphaltum will not resist the prolonged action of photographic chemicals. The pro- cess which we found to be most effec- tual is to paint the tray with a coat of glue to which has been added 5 or 6 per cent of bichromate of potasium. By exposing to sunlight for two or three hours, the coating becomes ab- solutely waterproof. We usually give three or four coats of glue, with thor- ough sunning-after each, and find that the resulting tray leaves little to be desired for lightness and durability. Charging Women Less Than Men. At the old-fashioned inns and res- taurants in Sweden it is customary to charge less for women than for men on the theory that they do not eat so much. At some hotels in Sweden a man and a wife are charged as one and one-half persons if they occupy the same room. A husband and wife may travel as one and one-half per- sons by railway, and also by the post routes, furnishing their own car- riage. _ Hall's Catarrh Cure is a liquid and is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

A Miniature Oak Tree. If an acorn be suspended by a piece of thread within half an inch of the surface of some water contained in a hyacinth glass, and so permitted to remain without being disturbed, it will, in a few months, burst and throw a root down into the water, and shoot upwards its straight and tapering stem, with beautiful little green leaves. A young oak tree growing in this way is a very interesting object. A chestnut may be treated in the same manner. The water must be changed sufficiently often to afford these trees the necessary quantity of nourishment from the matter contained in it.— Washington Star. The Electric Dancers. With the help of electricity in its simplest form a great many tricks and entertaining feats can be performed, such as the following: Get a plain sheet of glass about twelve inches long by eight inches wide, and insert it between two volumes, as shown in il- lustration. The distance of the glass from the table should be about three Inches. With the help of scissors cut a number of small figures, such as men, women, clowns, animals, etec., not higher than one and one-half inches, out of different colored paper. Lay the little figures flat on a line on the table underneath the glass. Make a sort of ball of woolen, or, better yet, silk cloth, warm it a little and rub the sur- half way down, so that it seems to be floating in the air, until he gives it permission to continue its journey. There are different ways of doing this trick, but they all depend upon the same principle. A curved packing needle is used in conducting the cord through the apple, making a curved channel. By holding the cord loosely the apple can slide down in consequence of its weight, but as soon as the cord is stretched (this being hardly perceptible) the apple is brought to a standstill. When the cord is relaxed the apple will continue its sliding motion. . Novel Top-Spinning Device. To spin a top well, as every boy knows, care must be used in winding WINDING UP THE CORD IS UNNECESSARY the string, as well as in throwing the top, the tensio» of the cord having con- siderable to do with the speed of revo- lution. Now a Western inventor comes forward with a top which, while it makes use of the string, does not have it wound on the top, as is necessary with the old kind. The illustration gives an idea of the device, which is THE ELECTR IC DANCERS. face of the glass with it. You will notice immédiately how the electric- Ity obtained by this process enlivens the little paper figures, how they stand op and jump to the glass ceiling of their little ballroom, to be repulsed and fall back, only to renew their dance. If you stop rubbing, the funny actions of the figures are continued for a while; when the dance is ended the touch of the hand on the glass is suf- ficient to enliven the figures again.— New York Tribune. Magic Apple. on a piece of cord. He lets it slide Bown the cord and suddenly stops it The performer shows an apple strung | used in connection with the cord to give the top its rotary motion, and also shows the manner of applying the string and spinning wire. The latter is formed with a loop at one end in which one finger of the left hand is in- serted, while the opposite end of the wire has a curved hook which sur- rounds the spindle on the top. At the point of the long loop is a guide through which the string feeds to the top. To put the top in motion the cord is given a single turn around the spindle, the free, long end is inserted in the guide, and the hook of the spin- | ning wire is placed over the spindle un- { derneath the cord. ! a sudden and strong pull on the cord i and an equal resistance with the other It is obvious that hand will hold the top stationary in a vertical plane, while the rapidly mov- ing cord will give motion to the spindle to rotate the top as the cord is drawn through the guide. When the string has passed through the guide there is mo further resistance and the top drops of its own accord to the floor. maintaining its motion for a great length of time.—Philadelphia Record. Learn How to Breathe. It is possible to exercise one’s whole body, to keep it strong and well, sim- ply by breathing properly. Children should be taught to breathe and to get into the habit of filling the whole lung space at each inhalation and of emprty- ing it completely at each exhalation. There is no better way of getting to sleep soon after going to bed than by breathing properly. Push away the pil- low and lie flat upon the back with the muscles relaxed. Slowly draw in the deepest breath possible, hold it for four seconds, then slowly expel it until the chest and abdomen have collapsed. Re- peat this until you are tired or fall asleep. There are scores of ways of varying this exercise. But this is the essential. Of course it is assumed that one sleeps with his bed room windows open.—FPhiladelphia Times. Uris MARKETS, * PITTSBURG.

Favorable Symptoms Predominate in Trade Despite Numerous Adverse Factors—Coke in Demand. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Favorable symptoms still predominate, and the business outlook is encouraging, despite the adverse factors of labor controver- sies, of fuel shortage and tight money. That these drawbacks have not seri- ously checked industrial progress tes- tifies to the strong position attained during recent months of uninterrupted activity and growing confidence. Manufacturing plants dependent upon steam for motive power are finding profits curtailed by the high prices of fuel, and unless normal conditions are soon restored it will be necessary to secure better quotations for products. The problem of adequate transporta- tion is also disturbing, as there is al- ready congestion in the coke region. When anthracite coal mining is fully resumed and grain shipments attain expected dimensions, the . railroads will find great difficulty in meeting all requirements, despite vigorous efforts to increase facilities. Railway earn- ings in September were 9.4 per cent larger than last year, and 20.2 per cent in excess of 1900. Dun’s index number of commodity prices pro- portioned to consumption was $100,- 648 on October 1, an advance of 4.1 per cent, compared with the position of September 1. It is certain that all records of pig iron production would be far surpassed if ke could he obtained, even at the exceptionally high prices now prevailing. - Hence, reports of active furnaces measure the available supply of coke rather tnan the demand for pig iron. Last week’s reduction in prices of sheets and wire have not been followed by any weakness in other branches of the trade, while an improved demand is reported in the lines making .con- cessions. Shipments of footwear from eastern shops continue on a large scale. The amount of business already placed assures activity at the factories for some time. Cotton mills in New England are preparing to shut down on account of the fuel shortage, and the market for goods is strong because supplies are already limited. Failures for the week numbered 245 in the United States, against 231 last year, and 21 in Canada, compared with 34 a year ago. Bradstreet s says: Wheat, includ- ing flour, exports for the week ending October 9, aggregate 5,645,779 bush- els, against 6,870,578 bushels last week; 4,719,898 bushels in this week last year, and 4,292,855 bushels in 1900. Wheat exports since July 1 aggregate 73,130,492 bushels, against 89,567,844 bushels last season, and 51,505,522 bushels in 1900. Corn ex- ports aggregate 180,358 bushels, against 141,423 bushels last week, 678,246 bushels last year, and 2,896, 037 bushels in 1900. World's Oldest Inn.

Miss Kate Brown. Miss Kate Brown, Recording Secre- tary of the L. C. B. Association, of Kansas, in a letter from 605 N. Seventh St., Kansas City, Xan., says: ‘“For seven years I have not known what it was to spend a well day. I caught a severe cold, which I neg- lected. It was at the time of menstru- ation, and inflammation set in and prostrated me. Catarrh of the kidneys and bladder followed, my digestive or- gans gave way; in fact, the cold disar- ranged my whole system. “I spent hundreds of dollars with doctors and medicine, but derived but little benefit until I began treat- ment with Peruna. I kept taking it for nearly nine months before I was com- pletely cured, but I kept growing bet- ter gradually so that I felt encouraged to continue taking Peruna until my health was restored. I send my thanks { Lh SUFFERED SEVEN YEARS With 'Catarrhal Derangements of the Pelvic : Organs. y Hundreds of Dollars Spent in Vain---Pe- ru-na Cured. A ———— 9 A neglected cold is frequently the cause of death. It is more often, however, the cause of some chronic disease. There is not an organ in the body but what is liable to become seriously deranged by a neglected cold. Dis- eases of the kidneys, bladder and diges- tive organs are all frequently the result of a neglected cold. Hundreds of dollars are spent on doctors and medicines trying to cure these diseases, but until the true cause of them is discovered there will be no use in using medicine, Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi- cine and constipation medicine is of no good whatever when catarrh is the cause. The catarrh must be treated. The cause being removed, the derange- ments will disappear. Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive organs, the urinary organs or any of the internal organs. If you do not derive prompt and sat- isfactory results from the use of Pe- runa, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you ‘his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O. and blessings to you for Peruna.’— Miss Kate Brown. The Lost City. The site of the lost Indian city, Mascoutens, which was reported as having 20,000 inhabitants in 1675, has been determined by the labors of Thomas Clithero, of Portage, Wis. now extended over many years. It was the largest city in all Indian his- tory, so far as United States territory is concerned, and the descriptions of the Jesuits in the course of the seven- teenth century, closing with Marquette and Joliet in 1673, are said to have been verified. How to Keep Young. One of the secrets of keeping young, vigorous and supple-jointed, is to con- tinue to practice the activities of youth, and to refuse to allow the mind to stiffen the muscles by its sugges- tion of age limitations. If men like Peter Cooper and William E. Glad- stone, who kept up the vitalizing ex- ercises of robust manhood when far into the eighties, had succumbed at 40 to tHe thought of approaching age, how much of their valuable life-work would have remained undone?
