The business situation in the United States during the past Week shows little change. The serious trouble in more than one New York bank has had no detri- mental influence. The closing of the sugar refineries will cause a serious diminution of industrial force and a proportionate inabil- ity to buy. The number of employed throughout the United States has not shown 5 any appreciable increase,nor has the antici- ' paLed advance in wages in some lines as yet materialized. There has been no appreciable increase in the prices of leading farm products.

An increase is reported in the demand for iron, and the reduction is slightly larger, but prices are weak. The failures for the week in the United States are in the amount a trifle in excess of thosa for the corresponding week of last year. GENERAL.

That bicycles can be used to advantage in times of war is believed by Archille Briere, a French inventor. His idea is in- dorsed to the extent of issuing a patent on the Frenchman’s device as one likely to prove of value in military service. The mechanism patented in for adjusting and controlling a gun supports! on the front of a bicycle, and the gun may he operated without bringing it to the shoulder and without interfering with the movements or speed of the rider. The invention can be adapted to all machines in general use,and if desired the gun can be instantly removed, It is possible to shoot while riding at the GUN MOUNTED ON BICYCLE. highest speed, Without bringing the gun to the shoulder, as it is always in the firing position and a simple pressure of the hand (as if to work the brake) is sufficient with- out touching the trigger. When the mach- ine is stopped it will be possible to take pre- cise aim. The entire attachment is mounted in front of the frame of the machine upon the post by means of two arms into which a rod is fixed which supports the devices necessary for working the trigger. The gun is kept in its place by a clamp made of two parts and hinged. It can be opened when- ever desired by swinging the handle operat- ing as a lever. The barrel of the gun rests upon a support which is pivoted in order to enable the rider to take aim, which is done by raising or lowering the screw, which is provided with a hand wheel. For firing the arm it is simply necessary to bring, by the left hand, the lever against the handle bar, which causes the movable sleeve to be lowered by means of the small rod. The sleeve operates the rods and lover connec- tion, the upper extremity of which ends in a little fork, thiough which the trigger passes, which is pulled backward by the action of the connection, thus firing the gun. When the hand releases the leVer the movable sookct and the connections are pushed upward by spiings ready for another action. A piece, one extremity of which is held and guided upon the handle bar, serves simply for directing the gun. The rod, the lower part of which is connected With the post which supports the saddle and which at its forward end surrounds the steering post, and the rod supporting the trigger-working mechanism without inter- fering with the working of the parts sua- tains the recoil, which is lost under th) saddle under the weight of the rider, s ) that the latter does not feel the least shock when firing the gun while in motion. 4 Whence Comes the Diamond ? Theories concarning the origin of the diamond have been both numerous and curious. Some mineralogists have suggested that it is the residence of carbon vapor; dissipated by heat during that indefinite epoch known as the “ coal perior .” New- ton says that in his opinion it is “ a coagu- lated unctuous substance, probably of vegetable origin.” Haynes and Faiire are both of the opinion that no diamond was ever formed on or within the surface of our earth, and that all such gems are brought to this planet by meteoric stones from some far-away world. Sir David Brewster, the eminent British philosopher (born 1781, died in 1868), entertained ideas concerning the diamond’s origin, which, while similar to those of Newton, were different in some respects. In his estimation such gems were once masses of gum, exuded from certain species of extinct trees or plants, which had subsequently “ petrified ” and assumed the crystalline form! According to Dana, the Jgrsatest living authority, they may have Lhcen produced by slow decomposition of vegetable or even animal matter. ____._._.__._ Young Travellers.

They sell readily at fairs at a large profit, as the cost of material is little. A Bag Table. “Will you make a bag for my table? You know I have charge of the bag table at the church fair.” Miss Eikins hesitated before replying. Then looking defiantly at the gentle ques- tioner she said, cutting each word short before the next was enunciated, “Ifâ€"you â€"wantâ€"sâ€"eilkâ€"bagâ€"lâ€"-willâ€"â€"tellâ€" you â€"uowâ€"I-â€"won't make it.” “But, Miss Elkins, I insist on no special kind of bag. I hope many varieties will be found on my table. Indeed, I do not insist at all. I wished for some of your handiwork, however”â€" “Thereâ€"youâ€"go. lâ€"didn’tâ€"sayâ€"as ~Iâ€"wouldn’tâ€"make â€"youâ€" any.” She paused, and then turned as if to walk off before the crimsoned confusion of the other lady, then, in a higher pitch, and shorter than before if possible, she added, “I’llâ€" makeâ€"yonâ€" four. Not â€"flimsyâ€"butâ€" subâ€"stanâ€"tial.” And with head high in air she marched off. A week before the fair she sent the four bags to the lady who had so tiinidly asked for one. All were beautifully stitched and made neatly and firmly. There was one of white linen lined With oiled silk. A fine tape served as drawing string, and sponge was printed in carefully outlined letters running bias across the bag. Another was made of drab towelling, fringed at either end and cross-stitched it? red worsted. It was a soiled clothes ag. The third was a small, slipper-like bag, made of ticking, for a duster. The white stripe of the ticking was cat-stitched in yellow silk. And the fourth and last was a. white conton flannel bag with an elaborate $ in gold bullion. This was a housekeeper’s bag to hold the extra bills and coin which were not wished in the pocket-book. Useful Recipes.

Potato Balls. -B'iorsring the hands, work The farmer is fast becoming a manufac- Especially in Ontario is this true. The tremendous proportions of the dairy industry in this province are well nigh startling. In ten years the quantity of cheese made in Ontario increased from 53.- 500,000 pounds in 1883 to 93,800,000 in -802, and its value grewfrom $5,500,000 to l$8,900,000. Our exports of cheese have gone up from 50,800,000 pounds in 1882 to 133,000,000 pounds in 1893, and as the market for the surplus in Great Britain is. unbounded, progress will continue to be recorded. By turning out the finished product the farmer stands to gain. Instead of exporting wheat, coarse grains and hay, lie is wise in turning his attention to cheese, butter, pork and beef. This is all manu- facturing of a high order, and there are no farmers better qualified by thrift, skill and perseverance to achieve success than Cans.- dians who have already in cheese beaten their great rivals. the United States,out of sight. While thus cultivating the outside]! market, the farmer will do well to keep a. firm grasp upon his owu home market. [As time goes on he will more and more turn intoa manufacturer, and the stability of the home market gives him a vantage ground from which to push trade abroad. tlirei‘. A BEMARKABLE MOVEMENT. New Zeainnd Sliipplng Companies Are faxed to Meet the Demands of the Emigrants. Australian papers just received are dis- cussing an exodus from New Zealand which has been going on for some time, and recently has been acquiring considerable proportions. The Sydney Herald refers to it editorially as the “most remarkable movement visible at the present time in these colonies.” There is nothing in th ycommercial situation in New Zealand t drive the people out looking for homes the Autralian continent, and yet the 5 ip- ping companies are taxed to mac the demands of the emigrants. The polslition n new Zealaud decidedly forbids any idea that the new discoveries of gold in New South Wales, for instance, have been attracting large numbers of eager people from one colony to the other. No such explanation has indeed been advanced. ‘ From the best opinions available it would seem that a panic has ansen in New Zealand over the threatening aspect of the political elements. The colony finds no political experiment unworthy of a trial. The voting power of the newly en- frenchised female army can alway relied upon by by boldopoliticians to them their warrant for putting sociali ideas into practice which the electors any other country would think hard twenty-one times before touching. 1 Of course if a man were making a living” in the most fantastically governed commuuiity, and sure of reaping the profits of his own industry, intellLI-che or 1(1'L11ne, he would by other considerations. But in New Zealand the fads are costing like fury in the shade of taxation, and the burden is falling heavily on the people of means and property. On the other hand, the state of affairs offers the highest inducements to tho detached and floating portions of society. The advanced politicians have created in this way a. brand new problem which is not only driving the desirable people out, but is giving the colony promi- nence in the eyes of undesirable outsider. The Sydney Herald states pretty em pliatically that New Zealaud is a “desir able place to get away from." The lesson to be learned from such a remarkable movement of population is a warnin against progressive socialism with woms s franchise as the lever. Progressive euc re is a. more harmless amusement for the ladies. Mewâ€"â€" LOVE'S UNEVEN COURSE Ill JA AN. A Eblsriirdrd Sulter's Tragic Treatm ut o the Girl Who lluil Jilted lllm.
