It is the only internal syetemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession to-day. Catarrh, as every one will admit, is the cause of one- half the diseases which afflict mankind. Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict one- half of the people of the United States. Robert R. Roberts, M. D., Wash- ington, D.

It will take some time for the drop in the price of raw furs to affect the retail sale of the manufactured product, but the public are already beginning to get the benefit in reductions made in an- ticipation. | Russia is one of the largest fur- | buying countries. Canada and British | North America send abroad their sur- | plus of raw furs beyond what the | American market will take. The !

Reichenberg, wife of the weil known jeweller of 146 Fulton St., New York, says: “I had a friend who was Jjust- ly proud of her complexion. When asked what gave her such a brilliant and lovely complexion, she replied, ‘A healthy woman can be sure of a fine skin if phe will do as I do, use plenty of Cuticura Soap and water.” She insisted that I follow her example, which I did with speedy convic- tion. I find that Cuticura Soap keeps the skin soft, white, and clear, and prevents redness and roughness.” The largest sailing vessel in the world has nearly been finished at Bremerhaven, Germany.

The little feilow felt that he needed some kind of a playmate. Tommy's father assured him that it was impossible for him to buy a pony. It would cost too much, and besides, he would have to build a stable. “And you'd have to buy hay, too, wouldn't you?’ chimed in Tommy. There was a lull in the conversation. By and by, thinking to appease the troublesome youngster, Mr. Winston said: “Some day the Lord will send you a little brother, Tommy, and then you will have all the playmate that you want.” “Well,” said Tommy, “I wish the Lord would hurry up, ’cause I'd rath- er have a brother than a pony, any- how, I think.” Some months later Tommy's papa told him that his little brother had come from heaven. Tommy was de- lighted. When they allowed him {io go in and see the new arrival Tommy was laughing and chuckling in lkigh b clee. He wanted to kiss the baby; he wanted to hold him in his arms; and actually desired to take him out for a stroll. When he found that he could not do any of these things, then he asked a thousand questions. “Did the Lord have many little babies in heav- en?’ “Was all the little babies an- gels? “Did all the Lord's little ba- bies have no teeth?’ and so on. Five or six days after the coming of the little brother Tommy's pleasure be- gan to moderate somewhat. The nurse had told him that he must stay out of the room if he couldn’t keep quiet. Not an hour passed during the day but that she would open the door and hal- loo: “Sh—sh! Don't make so much noise. You'll wale up the baby.” It was not long before Tommy de- cided that the little brother was more of a curse than a blessing. He thought he would take his troubles to his fath- er. One evening lhe went into the li- brary and climbed upon his father's knee. “Papa,” he said. “I tell you IL. don’t want my little baby brother, after all. I think I'd rather have a pony!” Before his father could recover from his astonishment, Tommy went on: “Why don’t you take little baby brother and swap him for a pony?’ “I couldn't do that, my son,” said Mr. Winston. : Tommy thought awlile, said: “Well, maybe nobody would give you a pony for him, but don’t you think somebody would let you have at least a goat if you was to let em: have a lit- tle brother?’—Silas X. Floyd, in Lip- pincott’s. and then Girls Train For Business. In his exceedingly interesting “Re- port on Commercial Instruction in Germany,” just published by the IFor- eign Office, Dr. Frederic Rose, British Consul at Stuttgart, gives some infor- mation concerning certain commercial schools for girls that have been set up in the Fatherland. One of the most interesting of these is the municipal commercial school for girls at Nuremberg. At this insti- tution, intended for the instruction of girls who have passed through the els ementary schools and who wish to en- ter business, pupils are taken through a three years’ course in religion, arith- metic, bookkeeping, commercial knowl- edge, including principles of econo- mics, foreign exchanges and elements of German commercial law.

Many people imagine that a brown shelled egg is better than one with a white shell. This is purely imagina-. tion, and the only way to test the rich= ness of an egg is to break it and look at the yolk. The deep orange yolks are the best and the pale yollow ones the poorest. City hens or those which are badly fed and whose runs and roosts are poorly ventilated and badly cleaned lay the pale yellow eggs. These which live in the country lay the rich orange ones, as do all wild birds. Anaemiec eggs contain less iron than rich ones, and are far less nutritious; but there is only one way to test an egg's qual- ity, and that is to break it.

FINACE AND TRADE REVIEW NEW YEAR STARTS WELL. Spirit. of Conservatism Disappearing and Consumers Are Coming For- ward With Orders. R. G. Dun & Co's. “Weekly Review of Trade” says: Aside from some hesitation at the South, owing to the recent fall in price of cotton, business conditions are favorable and opti- mistic sentiments are evidenced by extensive preparations for active trade. As annual reports appear it is found that the closing months of 1504 made a much better exhibit than the first half, which starts the new vear with smaller stocks of goods in the hands of dealers, assuring liberal contracts in the near future for re- plenishing supplies. Storms have again caused tempor- ary delay to traffic, but the ampie water supply is a beneficent influ- ence more than offsetting any injury to the aggregate. Gross carnings of the railways in December were 6.4 per cent. larger than in the same month of 1903. Winter wheat condi- tions have improved, and the partial recovery in cotton may prevent the threatened curtailment in acreage. Buyers are arriving in the" leading narkets, and in another week liberal ordera {for spring delivery will be placed. Dispatches from the other cities are generally encouraging. Inventories and repairs are completed, the var- ious departments of the iron and steel industry steadily extend operations and the sentiment is in striking con- trast to the conservatism that pre- vailed a year ago. New business is gradually coming forward, the neceds of consumers being felt in all sec- tions of the market, while produec- tion is no longer retarded by ad- verse weather. Ample water has re- stored full output at coke ovens, re- moving the fuel difficulty, and also facilitating transportation. The mar- ket shows little evidence of inflation or artificial conditions, a more whole- | some tone pervading the industry Minor met- als developed some irregularity, owing to annual statistics of supply, but the consumption of coal is very heavy, necessitating full operation of prac- tically all collieries. Failures for the week numbered 200 in the United States, against 400 last year, and 25 in Canada, compared with 37 a year ago. MEARE ETS, PITTSBURG. Crain, Flcur and Feed.
