Men, wo- men and children flock to the “town hall” to start the day by eating of it, and afterward go about their plea- sures and duties depressed in mind or cheered in all their viewpoints, ac- cording to the wisdom or lack of it they have shown in appreciating the meal.

The hammer, besides being a tool of universal use, is probally the old- est representative of a mechanic's tool kit. Tht hammer was originally a stone fastened to a handle with thongs, and weapon as a tool. Hammers are represented on the monuments of Igypt 20 centuries before our era. They greatly resemble the hammer now in use, save that there were no claws on the back for the extraction of nails. Claw hammers were in- vented some time during the middle ages. Illuminated manuscripts 'of tha eleventh century represent carpen- ters with claw hammers. Hammers are of all sizes, from the dainty in- struments used by the jeweler, which weigh less than half an ounce, to the gigantic 50-ton hammer of shipbuild- ing estabiishments, some of which have a falling force of from 90 to 100 tons. Every trade has its own hammer and its own way of using it. —Baltimore Sun. CALLS HIS CURE A MIRACLE. Tortured by Terrible, Dry Eruptions —Too Disfigured to Leave House —Cuticura Cured Him. “Ever since the time I grew into man- hood I have been suffering from a dry erup- tion which at times appeared very exten- sively, and at other times, but to a limited degree, on my body. I consulted a number of medical men without result, and last January I was affected with a terrible eruption on my hands, scalp, and face, which was so bad that I could not even leave the house, so I finally resorted to the Cuticura Remedies. So far they represent an outlay of only a few dollars and I am completely restored to health, while for- merly I had spent dollars upon dollars on doctors, remedies and ointments without getting cured.

G. Dun & Co.'s “Weekly Review of Trade’ says: Improvement in retail trdae tbllow- ed the advent of seasonable weather at many points, and payments were more prompt as spring merchandise was distributed, but conditions are still irregular. Scnsational advances in prices of farm products, especially wheat, followed reports of extensive damage to the crops, but frequent re- actions emphasized the speculative nature of the rise in quotations and terrded to re¢store confidence. Whole- sale trade in fall goods is brisk from all points except where: the crops have been seriously injured, and _the- net result of this forward business makes the outlook for the future fairly satis- factory. Manufacturing plants are Lept busy, .a further increase in consumption, and more imports were arranged. Freight movement is almost prompt, the sup- ply of rolling stock more nearly sual ing requirements and taere are few complaints of delays. Higher prices for pipe supplies is the only change of importance in the iron: and steel industry, the leading products advancing quotations $4 per ton on most sizes. Several new con: tr acts were placed, aggregating about 300 miles of six-inch to 18- inch pipe, keep pace with Asothe r feature of the week was: the 4 business in rails, covering. the entire capacity of some miilsTup to the end of 1908. There was also a._large ton- nage of structural shapes;. chiefly for building in the West, although bridge work continues to take much steel. Quiet conditions in primary mar- kets for dry goods are largely due to the fact that manufacturers of cot- tons are sold so far ahead they can- not accept the attractive offers con- stantly made for early delivery. Shipments of footwear from Bos- ton are running slightly above the movement in the same week last vear, but since January i the aggre- cate is still below that of 1906 to date, although far surpassing previous years MARKETS.

Suchs women mot only drive hus- “bands from home but are wholly unfit to govern children, The ills of women act like a fire brand upon the nerves, consequently seven-tenths of the nervous prostra- tion, nervous despondency; the ‘‘blues”, sleeplessness, and irritability of women arise from some organic derangement. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness alternating with ex- treme irritability ? Do yom suffer “from.pains in the abdominal region, backache, bearing - -down pains,nervous ‘dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost "_eontinunally cross. and snappy? If so, your. .nerves are in a shattered con- dition and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous troubles of women than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs. Thousands and thousands of women can testify to this fact. Mrs. Nellie Makham, of 151 Morgan St., Buffalo, N. Y., writes:— Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “I was a wreck from nervous prostration. “covery. nervous “MRS.GEO. A JAMES 4 I suffered so I did not care what became of me, and my family despaired of my re-.

Y,, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— “I was in a terribly run down [conditiom’ and had nervous prostration caused b; female trouble, in fact I had not been since my children were born. This con- .- dition worked on my nerves and I was ir-- ritable and miserable. I had tried many remedies without getting much help but Lydia E.

Harry L. Paddock, consul at Amoy, transmits the following report on farmers and scale cf wages paid in China. The farmer is up before day- break and at work in his sterile fields -—fields whose productivity has been exhausted except under high fertiliza- tion—and he returns to his shanty after nightfall. To the view of the foreigner, he never rests, and for this never-ending labor he raises a crop of rice or corn that dees not support his family for the year. His clothing con- sists of a loin cleth in summer and a coarse cotton suit in the winter. He is simply an example of all the lab- orers and artisans in China. All work hard to live, and all receive a compensation commensurate with that of the farmer. The ' following scale of wages will give some idea of the daily returns received labor done (in United States gold) } er, 10 cents; mason, 15 cents; 10 to Zu cents, and clerks, cents. : for artis 40 to Metal in the Atmoszhere a noted i total about matter. is harmless, but of organic matter are to germs of almost every kind, and particularly in cities in this percent- age dangerous to humanity.

A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special food} on his customers. A Cleveland grocer has a long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. He says, regarding his own ex- perience: "Two years ago I had been drinking coffee und must say that I was almost wrecked in my nerves. “Particularly in the morning I was so irritable and upset that I could hardly wait until the coffee was served, and then I had no appetite for breakfast and did not feel like attending to my store duties. “One day my wife suggested that inasmuch as I was selling so much Postum there must be some merit in it and suggested that we try it. I took home a package and she pre- pared it according to directions. The result was a very happy one.
