Ways of the Jonrnnllstlo Craft In the Far Orient. In candor and Ingenuity of excuses tbe average editor might learn something from his Hindoo brother, says the Los Angeles Herald. When the first copy of a new Hindoo paper made lta appearance re cently nearly half ot It conalsted of empty columns. The following editorial note, however, explained the vagary: "We re gret that thla, our maiden number, should lack completeness, due to miscalculation. We thought we had sufficient material and consequently did not trouble to collect more. We can assure our indulgent read ers that this will not occur again and we trust that tbe quality ot the contents will make up for the lack of quantity." Another Hindoo editor found It necessary to suspend the publication ot hia paper for a fortnight without a warning. When tbe paper again made lta appearance it con tained thla notice: "We regret that, owing, to a mlaunderatandlng with a rival editor, in which we failed to get oft the beat ot the argument. It waa necessary for ua to retire unexpectedly from the conduct of tbla paper for the apace of two weeks, during which we have had the opportuni ties ot devising certain Improvements, which we propose to Introduce Into It. The rival editor-,- we regret to report, la atlll confined to hia borne." When the Hindoo editor wishes to real for a time from hia labors ha calmly an nounces the fact In these or similar worda; "Aa we are beginning to feel the phyaleal and mental effecta of a year's unremitting devotion to the Intereat ot our readera, wt feel It due to them that we should take tha rest which our labors In their behalf de mand and deserve and aa a natural conse quence beg to notify that this paper will cease to appear for the apace of four weeks." A ahort time ago an Indian newspaper appeared with two very conaplcuoua blank columns, on the front page. The editor ex plained thla eccentricity thua: "We have reserved thla apace for an exceptionally powerful article on a aubject of unlveraal Interest to our readera, but at tbe laat moment we find that the article cannot be compreaaed within the two columns re served for It. It will make lta appearance next week." ' Tho Ever Womanly. Chicago Poat: "I bate to be contra dicted," ahe aald. "Then I won't contradict you," be re turned. "You don't love me," ahe asaerted.

DUNN TAKES THE CHEERFUL VIEW Declares that Their Steady Progress In Trade and Industry with Do nestle Conditions Better Than Tho Abroad. NEW YORK, Sept. 6. R. O. Dun ft Co.'i Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say; Steady progresa is reported In trade and Industry. Distribution of merchandise ia heavy and a healthy tone la evident. Domes tic conditions continue much better than those exlHting uliroad and home trade re ceived mom attention than foreign com merce. Farm products have appreciated In value owing to less favorable weather and producers will be fully compensated lor any decrease li quantity by the higher quotations. Earnings of railways during August were 1.6 ner cent laraer than a ytur ago and 18.8 per cent In excess of lurnt. I Better deliveries of coke and liberal re ceipts of foreign material have lessened tho pressure In the iron and steel Industry, while quotations In a few lines have weak ened. Domestic demands are not decreas ing, much new business having been placed and home consumption will continue to call for Imports on a larger scale. New plants are being added to the pro ductive capacity as rapidly as possible, I'Ut In railway equipment, especially steel rails, orders are already placea for much of next year. Uppers Are Still I'p. Quotations of footwear are fully main tained at the recent advance. It la note worthy that buying haa been heaviest In the finer gradea and aample lines of spring styles are also most sought In the good dualities. A good feature Is the urgency for quick shipment, Indicating that stocks j recent advance In quotations, but hides ap pear to nave risen aoove tne views or tan ners, resulting In a quiet market. Ad vancing raw material aroused much anxiety amona nuachaaera of cotton aoods and there were numeroua Inquiries for for- wara contracts, nut tne volume oi bualneaa was not materially Increased. Agricultural conditions are less satisfac tory and If the official estimate as to cot ton la not exaggerated the yield will not be large enough to sustain consumption at the present rate. Wheat la coming forward freely, though recelpta do not equal the abnormally large movement a year ago. Corn developed strength because of fears that injury would be done by frost and the movement Is very slow, compared with laat year's figures. BRADSTREKT'S REVIISW OF TRADE. Paat Few Daya Were Prosperous and Future la Bnconraarlna;. NEW YORK, Sept. 6. Bradstreet'a to morrow will say: All available data confirm reports of paat good trade and foreahadow as good or bet ter yet to come. It has been essentially a week of active buying In distributive trade. Reports as to August trade have been al most uniformly favorable, and the records of failures show business mortality to have been confined to a low summer minimum. Prices show persistent strength despite the fact that agricultural products, except corn and prime cattle, tend lower. Corn Is not yet out of danger from frost In the north ern half of the belt, and this, coupled with short supplies, Imparts strength to cereala generally. Reports of cotton deterioration caused by hot, dry weather, have scared shorts and stiffened values of raw and manufactured cotton, but there Is a feeling that the crop damage talk has been over- UUUC. Rather less disturbance Is noted In labor matters, some strikes having been declared off. The anthracite trouble still hangs over the situation, but the volume ot coal ship ments Is slowly and steadily Increasing. Some wage advances are 'noted In widely separated lines. Collections In the north nd west are unirormiy gooa, but, wnne aome Improvement ia noted In the south, room for betterment atlll exlata. Jobbing activity la undiminished at the west, north west and southwest and is or satisfactory volume at the east. Dry goods, ahoea, millinery, drugs, hardware, groceries, cloth ing and- lumber -figure- aotlvely In the de mand. Leather sales are large at the west, but high-tide prices discourage tanning. At the east the advanoe In cotton Is stimu lating; the cotton . goods . markets,. Good reorders are noted In woolen gooda, but spring gooda are meeting moat attention. Silk goodk are good and prices are very firm. Eastern shoe factories are well em- nloyed. . although the complaint of small profit continues. Wool ia half a cent higher and tends up, aa stocks are not large. The fuel shortage is pressing on tne iron furnaces, and now the acarclty of cars and motive power ia affecting the movement of ore from lake ports to tne rtttsDurg dis trict. New demand for pig Iron Is. how ever, light, primarily because buyera have booked largely aneaa. .f oundry iron is i higher. Heavy Imports of foreign Iron and ateel have cut down premiums on Immedi ate delivery business, but In the scarcity of supplies of domestic no particular Inter est Is taken In this. Salea of foreign made material are very large, in finished prod ucts business In rails, bars and aheeta la fair and mills are heavily aold ahead. Tin plates and wire nails are quiet, but a better business is looked for soon with the growth of fall trade. Hardware Is apparently aa active as ever. Copper la allghtly firm. while tin Is lower. Wheat. Including flour, exports for the week ending September 4 aggregate 6,376,21 bushels, against S.436,530 last week, 4,406,064 In this week last year and 8,373,100 In 1900.

Pahio's Celery Compound Permanently Cures Sick and Nerv us Headaches that Make Life Miserable. , Sick and nervous headaches are amongst the worst Ills of life. The man or woman who Is subject to headache at Irregular In- . tervals goea through life bearing a load of misery and wretchedness that Is ter rible to think of. - Headaches as a rule reault from avals ordered condition of the nervous system. Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily, fatigue, and disordered dlgesttos are ex citing causes. When the brain becomes , tired and debilitated, the whole nervous ays tern ia weakened, and headaches result. If , the liver Is sluggish, the kidneys Inactive, and digestion deranged, headaches Inverts- , bly follow. To cure and prevent headache, the nervous aystem must be strengthened and vitalised. The most persistent cases of headache, nervous feebleness, and sleep- lessness, are permanently oured by Palne'S ' Celery Compound; It la the great recon structant of ' the nervous syatem. Mrs. Henry Weatrlck, St. Clair. Mich., tells of her releaae from suffering as follows : ."' "I have been troubled with dyspepala and sick headache for a number of years. About every week I would have a bad apeil of sick 'headache, but since I began using " Palne's Celery Compound, my dyspepsia Is ' aone. and I do not have any more head- acbea.

The special plea Is made by Rev. T, S. . Pond, the senior American missionary In Caracaa, and Mr. Bowen haa undertaken gladly to receive any contributions that may be sent from America to hia legation. ' He said that Mr. Pond does not propoJ to give money to tbe poor, but only provi sions that are cooked. He heeds, accord-' lng to Mr. Bowen, 13,000, but could easily use five times that amount.' In hia appeal Mr. -Pond says that he has not In his' experience "known anything to compare with the widespread and hopeless' poverty of the present." ;.'-. . He refers to the fact that Minister Bowen himself Is feeding 100 or more des-1 tltute people. At least half the families of this cityt says Mr. Pond, "can get only one fair meal a day.
