COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

Special dispatches to Nev York. the International Mercantile Agency describe a general trade revival this week at prominent Western and Southwestern centers. The situation is noteworthy in contrast with conditions during the previous month, and has its basis in more seasonable weather and increased orders for spring stock. The crop situation has been greatly benefited by the warmer weather, which has advanced wheat in sections where backward spring did great damage. Although wheat suffered serious damage from the setback during ths recent cold snap, a fair crop can be counted on if normal conditions prevail. Most grains will be harvested two or three weeks later than usual, although it is possible that the next government report will describe a generally better condition than was shown Ly the last figures. Winter wheat is showing up particularly well in some sections. Seeding in the Red River Valley district has been retarded by unfavorable weather, so that the crop outlook in that section is problematical. Elsewhere throughout the Northwest encouraging conditions prevail.

■ CblCdQO. trade for the week says: L—The protracted tie-up of lake commerce has remained the most significant barrier to a close return to normal business activity. Notwithstanding that drawback and its adverse effect upon receipts of lumber, coal and ore, the forwarding of food stuffs reached the heaviest aggregate in two months past, making a considerable addition to railroad traffic.

Following the strike settlement and resumption of building work there was a strong demand for materials of. all kinds for structural purposes and dealers reduced stocks at firm prices. Receipts of farm products declined owing to the rush in completing seeding. Reports emphasize much improvement in agricultural conditions, especially throughout Illinois, and dealings reflect enlarged consumption of necessities both in city and country. Stocks of heavy weight wear have been measurbly reduced and the demand has turned to the lines adapted to warm weather. The local buying at retail was well distributed and strongest in dress goods and footwear. Wholesale transactions were steady in dry goods, clothing and men’s furnishings, with reorders more numerous. Mercantile collections hive continued satisfactory. Grain shipments were 2,742,345 bushels, while the best aggregate recently reported is 80 per cent under those a year ago. Dealings In the coarse grains showed Improved demand. The market for cash wheat and flour was very narrow. Compared with closings a week ago. May wheat advanced 9 cents per bushel,) due to speculative influences, and corn gained 1 cent, wane oats were practically unchanged. Receipts of live stock were* "439,754 head, compared with 239,345 head the previous week and 275,223 head a year ago. Failures reported in Chicago district number twenty-four, against thirty the previous week and thirty-eight a year ago.

CANADA’S OLDEST HOUSE.

Structure Was Erected Three Centuries Ago—Of Historic Interest. What changes are suggested by the item of news from Montreal, stating that the oldest building in Canada, a dwelling house in Longueull, opposite Montreal, has been burned, and adding that the structure was erected three centuries ago, “and there is some evidence that it antedates this period by at least fifty years!" Leaving out the extra half century, which almost certainly is due to local pride and not to history, says the Mall and Express, the house was old enough, for its existence covered practically the making, not only of Canada, but the United States, with the exception of Florida. When the house was built Canada was young. Cartier and Roberval had explored it somewhat and had gone up the St. Lawrence to Hochelaga, where Montreal is now, but had made no permanent settlements. In 1604 Champlain planted the first colony in Acadia, and in 1608 founded Quebec. It is said that the old house was built some years before the fortifications at Longueull, which Were erected in 1612 to protect the infant settlement at Montreal. If so, it was indeed an outpost of civilization. Since it was built the new world has grown up, the colonies once divided by France and England have been united under British rule, and again have separated into the Dominion of Canada and the Unitedy States of America; the rest of the world has undergone changes as great. From its windows watchers could have seen attacks by Indians—perhaps the house itself was at times a fort and echoed to warwhoops—could have seen excursions by French and Indians against the colonies to the south, and Incursions of English from those settlements; could have watched the English succeed the French as masters of New France, have seen the Americans in possession of Montreal. Not far to the southward the United States have come into being. For eight score years the house was on the frontier, with an enemy constantly near at hand. Then the enemy became a friend, and has stayed so; how good a friend perhaps those in whose 'possession the house has remained do not yet know. The building was not on the main line of traffic, either actually or theoretically. Most of the great events of North American history have occurred at a distance from Montreal and Longueull, but through all the years of fighting and of peace the old house stood. We in America have not so many old buildings of any sort that we can afford to lose even a farm house that has existed from the beginning of our history.

A Happy Mother.

Maple Hill, la., May 30.—A very remarkable case occurred here recently. The people here have never seen anything like it and it may interest many others. From bls infancy, Verne, the little five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Barfoot, of this place, has been sickly. His mother consulted a doctor, but lie did not begin to Improve till some one suggested that she try a remedy called Dodd’s Kidney Pills. From unmistakable symptoms she had always believed that his kidneys were the first cause of all the trouble, so she bought a box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and began giving little Verne two pills a day. In two or three days she noticed an improvement and she kept on till he had used about two boxes, when, to her great joy, he was all right Everybody remarks how much better Verne looks and Mrs. Barfoot always explains “Dodd’s Kidney Pills saved his life.”

School for Young Rogues.

One of the most remarkable school rooms in the world is that of “La Petite Roquette,” the French prison for juvenile offenders, xhe system of this prison Is that of solitary confinement, the whole building being so constructed that each of the detached cells is overlooked by a warder stationed on a small observation tower. The •chool room consists of 200 cells In the form of an amphitheater, from each of which the teacher and the teacher only can be seen. Each of the youthful offenders takes his place in silence, the first In the furthermost cell and the others In rotation. The closing of one of these cell doors opens that of the next cell. The voice of the teacher is the only sound to be heard in the building.

PETRIFIED MILK.

It Is One of the Achievements of Modern Chemistry. “Chemistry is incessantly at work to create new industrial values from substances heretofore considered valueless,” says Consul -General Guenther at Frankfort in a report to the newly invented “milk stone,” or petrified milk. “It is a well known fact,” said he, quoting expert authority, “that tho success of a creamery, where the chief source of profit is, of course, butter, does not depend so much upon tho cost of production and the selling price of butter as on the profits derived from the skimmed milk. The right market for the milk skimmed for the purpose cf butter making Is really the vital question of the milk Industry. Sklrnjned milk has been used for various purposes—for the manufacture of sugar of milk, as food for animals and for milk champagne, which Is skimmed milk mixed with fruit juices and Impregnated with carbonic acid. A rather large percentage of skimmed milk is also separated Into its component parts, which are then worked up. The casein serves for the manufacture of cheese; also for glue, putty and isolating substances. “But all these different uses of skimmed milk did not solve the question most favorably. This, however is now expected from tho newly invented petrified milk. It Is manufactured in the following manner: “By a chemical process the casein Is precipitated as a yellowish-brown powder, which Is mixed with formaline. Thereby a hornlike product Is formed, called milk stone. This substance, with various admixtures, forms a substitute for horn, turtle shell, Ivory, celluloid, marble, amber and hard rubber. Handles for knives and forks, paper cutters, crayons, pipes, cigar holders, seals, marbles, stone ornaments and billiard balls are now made of skimmed milk. The Insolubility of galallth, Its easy working, elasticity and proof against fire make

Catarrh of the Stomach Is Generally Called Dyspepsia—Something to Produce Artificial Digestion Is Generally Taken. Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host of Other Digestive Remedies Has Been Invented. These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat of the Difficulty, Which Is Really Catarrh. J EX. U. S. Senator M. 0. Butler from South Carolina, was Senator from that state for two terms. In a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., from Washington, D. 0., says: ••lean recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is Indeed a wonderful medicine besides a good tonic. ”-—M. C. Butler. The only rational way to cure dyspepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial digestion. It cures catarrh and leaves the stomach to perform digestion in a natural way. This is vastly better and safer than resorting to artificial methods or narcotics. Penina has cured more cases of dyspepsia than all other remedies combined, simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh is located in the head, Peruna cures it If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it When catarrh becomes settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it,, as well in this location as in any other. Peruna is not simply a remedy for dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is generally dependent upon catarrh.

it very desirable. Already 20,000 quarts of skimmed milk are daily used for this purpose in Austria.”

World’s Coldest City.

The coldest city In the world Is Yakutsk, Eastern Siberia, In the empire of the czar and the Russians. It Is the great commercial emporium of East Siberia and the capital of the Province of Yakutsk, which, In most of Its area of 1,517,063 square miles, is a bare desert, the soil of which Is frozen to a great depth. Yakutsk consists of about four hundred houses of European structure, standing apart The intervening spaces are occupied by winter yoorts, or huts of the northern nomads, with earthen roofs, doors covered with hairy hides and windows of ice. Caravans with Chinese and European goods collect the produce of the whole line of coast on the Polar Sea between the parallels of 70 degrees and 74 degrees from the mouth of the River Lena to the farthest point Inhabited by the Chookchees. Last year a colporteur of the British and Foreign Bible Society made a tour of eleven weeks down the Lena, a river 3,000 miles long, visiting Yakutsk and selling gospels In their own language to the Yakuts In the villages along the banks.—Leslie’s Weekly.

BOTH JAWS SHOT AWAY.

Btlll a Sncceasful Busines* Maa. A man who had both jaws shot away had trouble eating ordinary food, but found a food-drink that supplies the nutriment needed. He says: “I have been an invalid since the siege of Vicksburg, in 1860, where I was wounded by a Mlnle ball passing through my head and causing the entire loss of my jaws. I was a drummer boy, and at the time was leading a skirmish line, carrying a gun. Since that time I have been awarded the medal of honor from the Congress of the United States for gallantry on tho field. “The consequences of my wound were dyspepsia In Its most aggravated form, and I finally proved ordinary coffee was very hard on my stomach, so I tried Postum and got better. Then I trlpd common coffee again and got worsi. I did this several times, and finally as Postum helped me every time I continued to use it, and how often I think that if the Government has Issued Postum to us In the Army how much better it would have beeu for the sollder boys than coffee. “Coffee constipates me and Postum does not; coffee makes me spit up my food, Postum does not; coffee keeps me awake nights, Postum does not There Is no doubt coffee ls«tob much of a stimulant for most people and Is the cause of nearly all the constipation. “This Is my experience and you are at liberty to use my name."
