Put it, a small quantity at a time, in the first tub of water, sensing it up and down, then remove to the other tubs, rinsing it thoroughly. Proceed in this manner until all the hair has been washed. Lay it upon a :hcet», cover with another sheet, pin them together, and either spread on the grass or hang it upon a clotheeline to dry. In the meantime either wash the old ticking or make a new one, using the old as a. pattern. The flexing should be left open on three sides of the top. When the hair is thoroughly dry and the tick in readiness, lay the latter on a bedstead from which all accessories but the slats have been removed. Spread the hair evenly on it, pressing it down firmly allover. This is not an easy task, as it will appear next to impossible to get all the hair in. However, care and patience will accomplish it.

Some Items otlnterest to the Bus!- ness Man. The bank clearings of important centres in United States increased 17.6 per cent. oversame week of last year. Exports of wheat and flour this week segregate 2,260,000 bushels as against 1,-- $72,000 last. week and 3,937,060 bushels the corresponding week of last year. Cotton markets are very firm. The price in Liverpool for American middlings is now 4 11-32. The September report of United States crops places conditioukof wheat at 75.4 per cent. and of corn at 06.4 per cent. The earnings of Canadian Pacific for the first week of September are $397,000, an increase of $16,0uu as compared with cor- responding week of last year. ‘ Wheat markets continue depressed owing to large receipts in Western States and email export demand. The world‘s visible supply increased 2,209,000 bushels the past week. Strong protests have been made by the grain dealers of Toronto and the millers of the Dominion against the Order in Council allowing the mixmg of scoured wheat with No. 1 Manitoba hard. The visible supply of wheat in the United States and Canada is 36,750,000 bushels as comparcd with 69,168,000 bushels a year [,go. The amount afloat to Europe is 25,- 000,000 bushels as compared with 30,240,- 000 bushels a year ago. 'l‘rade prospects for the Western part of the Province seem to be very fair. Crops have been better than was expected, and though apples and a few other products have been low in the average, the bulk of what is grown has not been disappointing. The London wholesale houses have been reasonably busy, and state that collections are better than was expected, and that. the volume of trade will equal or exceed that of lastyear. The retail trade, however, of the city has been rather demoralized during the past month, and will be for the next two, owing to the Street Railway system being electrified and extended, and the aspalting of eight or ten of the princi- pal blocke of the city.

Some of the bells sent out a faint tinkle of sound, a sweet tintinnabuiation that seemed to bubble in the air, and others thundered forth boom after boom, boom after boom, until it seemed to shake the earth and fill the heavensâ€"sounds so. weird, so sweet, so awful, so grand, so charming, so tremendous, so soft, 'so rippling, so reverberaiingâ€"aud they , seemed to wreaths and whirl, and rise, and l sink, and burst, and roll, and mount, and die. “ When Napoleon saw Moscow burn it cpuld not have been more brilliant than when I saw all the 1400 turret-s aflamc with the sunset, roofs of gold and walls of inal- achite and pillars of porphyry and ballis- trades of mosaic, and visions of lupus lazuli and architecture of all colors mingling the brown of autumnal forests and the blue of summer heavens, and the conflaqratiou of morning skies, and the green of rich mead- ows and the foam of tossing seas. “ I said to the Emperor, ‘I saw Moscow ' burn !’ Somewhat startled, he said : ‘that do you mean ?’ ‘ I saw it at sunset.’ ‘ Oh,’ he replied, smiling, ‘ I have often seen it in that blaze.’ “ The fact is, the mingling of so many colors with so many sounds was an entrance- ment almost too much for human nerves or human eyes or human ears. position, as it is the natural distributing center for a wealthy contiguous agricultur- al district. An active trade is reported in nearly all departments of wholesale merchandise at Toronto. This bears out our prevmus statement that stocks of merchandise gen- erally are smaller at country points than usual at this season of the year. The busi- ness sentiment is better at presopt .ihan for some years past, and indications favor a good autumn trade all round. Travelers late all in, their presence being needed in the warehouses to wait on customers. The retail trade of the city is also active; money is being spent freely and the feeling perviiding commercial circles is that. of cheerfulness and hope. Mcney is offering on easy terms on choice securities, the supply being plentiful: call loms rule at 4 to 4!; per cent. Prime commercial paper is discounted at 6 to 6Q. Tiiebank of Eng- land discount rate is unchanged at 2, and the open market rate 5 of l per cent. Speculation has been less active during the week, with a slight reaction in prices. The declines are insignificant, and the prospect is that higher quaiations will rule in the near future. ___._.__ Two Brave Men.
